Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

The manufacture and sale of boats also exposes us to significant risks associated with product liability, economic loss, personal injury and other claims. If our products are found to be defective or used incorrectly by our customers, bodily injury, property damage or other injury, including death, may result and this could give rise to additional product liability or economic loss claims against us and adversely affect our brand image or reputation. During fiscal year 2023, we settled certain product liability matters for $100.0$100 million after a jury found that our subsidiary, Malibu Boats, LLC, and another entity that was the manufacturer of the boat at issue, Malibu Boats West, Inc., negligently failed to warn of a hazard posed by the boat and that such failure was a proximate cause of the death of a passenger in the boat. Malibu Boats West, Inc. is not, and has never been, a subsidiary of ours but was a separate legal entity whose assets were purchased by Malibu Boats, LLC in 2006. See Note 17 of our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. We are also currently defending a customer class action lawsuit. On May 31, 2024, a customer filed a class action complaint against MBI and Boats LLC in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. (Case 1:24-cv-00648). The complaint, which purports to be filed on behalf of a nationwide class of customers, alleges violation of common law, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty, and violation of California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act based on guidance issued to customers of certain older model boats related to riding in the bow area of those boats. We continue to defend against the class action claims. We are unable to provide any reasonable evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or any reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss.

Reworded

We have a large fixed-cost base that will affect our profitability when demand decreases or when our salescosts decrease.increase at a faster rate than our revenue.

Reworded

The fixed cost levels of operating a recreational powerboat manufacturer can put pressure on profit margins when sales and production decline.decline or when costs rise. Our profitability depends, in part, on our ability to spread fixed costs over a sufficiently large number of products sold and shipped,shipped. and ifIf we reduce our rate of production or otherwise experience lower revenues,revenues or if our costs increase at a faster rate than our sales, gross margins will be negatively affected. For instance, in fiscal year 20242026 our net sales decreasedincreased at a greatersmaller percentage than our expenses were reducedincreased and, as a result, our gross margin and net income decreased. Consequently, decreased demand or the need to reduce production can lower our ability to absorb fixed costs and materially impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Reworded

Our financial results may be adversely affected by our third-party suppliers’ increased costscosts, including due to tariffs, or inability to adjust for our required production levels due to changing demand or global supply chain disruptions.

Reworded

We rely on a global supply chain of third parties to supply raw materials used in our manufacturing process, including resins, fiberglass, and vinyl, as well as parts and components. The prices for these raw materials, parts, and components fluctuate depending on market conditions and, in some instances, tariffs, commodity prices or trade policies. Substantial increases in the prices of raw materials, parts, and components would increase our operating costs, and could reduce our profitability if we are unable to recoup the increased costs through higher product prices or improved operating efficiencies. For instance, during fiscal years 20242025 and 2025,2026, we experienced rising prices for our suppliers, in part due to inflationary pressures andpressures, heightened interest rates.rates, and tariffs. Our profitability in recent years has been, and in the future may be, affected by significant fluctuations in the prices of the raw materials and commodities that we use in our products and in the cost of freight and shipping of source materials, commodities, and other component parts necessary to assemble our products. The market prices of certain materials and components used in manufacturing our products, especially resins that are made with hydrocarbon, feedstocks, copper, aluminum and stainless steel, can be volatile.

Reworded

Our ability to maintain production is dependent upon our suppliers delivering sufficient amounts of components, raw materials and parts on time to manufacture our products and meet our production schedules. Supply chain disruptions could occur for any number of factors, including facility closures due to labor disruptions, weather events, natural disasters, cyber intrusions, the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness, contractual or other disputes, unfavorable economic or industry conditions including tariffs, political instability, global conflicts, delivery delays, performance problems, or financial difficulties of suppliers. These events could disrupt our suppliers’ operations and lead to uncertainty in our supply chain or cause supply disruptions for us, which could, in turn, disrupt our operations. For example, we experienced supply chain disruptions from fiscal year 2020 through first half of fiscal 2023 related to numerous factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, severe weather events, labor shortages, ongoing domestic logistical constraints, and West Coast port challenges. In addition, the current conflict involving Iran and related geopolitical instability are contributing to broader commodity and supply chain disruptions that increase our product costs. Many of the raw materials, components and finished goods used in our manufacturing operations are sensitive to changes in energy and transportation costs, as well as to global shipping capacity and routing. Potential disruptions to global shipping routes and transportation networks may continue to increase shipping transit times, freight rates and insurance costs for us and our suppliers, including on routes that are not directly affected by such disruptions, due to knock-on effects on global logistics networks. These conditions may result in higher input costs, parts shortages, delivery delays and reduced production efficiency. Although we may attempt to mitigate these impacts through pricing actions, alternative sourcing or adjustments to production, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully offset higher costs or maintain our margins without adversely affecting demand. If such disruptions and related oil price increases persist or worsen, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Reworded

In some instances, we purchase components, raw materials and parts that are ultimately derived from a single source or geographic area or a limited number of suppliers and we may therefore be at an increased risk for supply disruptions. It may be difficult to find a replacement supplier for a limited or sole source raw material, part, or component without significant delay or on commercially reasonable terms, and as a result, an exclusive supplier of a key component could potentially exert significant bargaining power over price, quality, warranty claims, or other terms. Some components used in our manufacturing processes, including engines, boat windshields, certain electrical components and gel coats are available from a sole supplier or a limited number of suppliers. We currently purchase engines from General Motors LLC, or General Motors, that we then prepare for marine use for certain Malibu, Axis and Cobalt boats. Our agreement with General Motors will continue through modelcalendar year 2026 and we are currently negotiating an extension on the agreement beyond calendar year 2026. We purchase outboard engines from Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., or Yamaha, for a significant percentage of our Cobalt, Pursuit and Maverick Boats Group branded boats that are pre-rigged for outboard motors. Our agreement with Yamaha is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2027.2029. WeIn alsoaddition, purchasewe inboardobtain engines and sterndrive assemblies from Volvo. We have agreements with YamahaVolvo for theour supplyCobalt branded boats and from Mercury for certain models of outboardCobalt motorsand thatMaverick expiresbranded on June 30, 2027.boats. If we are required to replace General Motors, YamahaYamaha, Mercury or Volvo as an engine supplier for any reason, it could cause a decrease in boats available for sale or an increase in our cost of sales, either of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We were advised in fiscal 2025 by one of our suppliers that we would receive fewer engines than originally anticipated in the second half of fiscal 2025. While the reduction in engine supply did not have a material impact on us in fiscal 2025, if in the future, we receive less engines from any of our suppliers than our expectations and are unable to mitigate the reduction in supply, it could impact our production levels and boats available for sale, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

Climatic events in the areas where we operate have caused, and future climatic events may cause, disruptions and in some cases delays or suspensions in our operations that may adversely impact our business. We rely on the continuous operation of our facilities in Tennessee, Florida, Kansas, California, Poland, Finland, and Australia. Any natural or environmental disaster to our facilities due to fire, flood, hurricanes, earthquake, or other severe climatic events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, we have plants located in regions of the United States, such as Florida and Kansas, that have been and may be exposed to extreme weather, such as tropical storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. An increased frequency and/or severity of storms, hurricanes, or tornadoes could impair our ability to operate by severely damaging our facilities and restricting our ability to deliver products to our customers. The occurrence of any disruption at any of our facilities, even for a short period of time, may have an adverse effect on our productivity and profitability, during and after the period of the disruption, including by causing delays in receiving supplies from our vendors and creating logistical challenges for delivery of our product to our dealers and customers. These disruptions may also cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage. Although we maintain property, casualty and business interruption insurance of the types and in the amounts that we believe are customary for the industry, we are not fully insured against all potential natural disasters or other disruptions to our facilities.

Reworded

We rely on the existence of a sufficient available hourly workforce to manufacture our boats. We may not be able to attract and retain qualified employees to meet current or future manufacturing needs at a reasonable cost, or at all. For instance, even when there are high unemployment rates in the regions where we have manufacturing facilities, we have had difficulty retaining skilled employees and could experience such difficulties in the future. Although none of our employees are currently covered by collective bargaining agreements, there can be no assurance that our employees will not elect to be represented by labor unions in the future. Additionally, competition for qualified employees could require us to pay higher wages to attract a sufficient number of employees. Significant increases in manufacturing workforce costs could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Added

Approximately 75 employees at our Larsmo, Finland facility are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Disputes regarding our existing collective bargaining agreement or new union organizing activities could lead to production slowdowns or stoppages. In addition, union activity and compliance with international labor standards could result in higher labor costs.

Added

Significant increases in manufacturing workforce costs could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Reworded

We have grown our business through acquisitionsacquisitions, including our recent acquisition of Saxdor; howeverhowever, we may not be successful in completing future acquisitions or integrating future acquisitions in a way that fully realizes their expected benefits to our business.

Reworded

A key part of our growth strategy, as shown by our acquisition of Saxdor in 2026, Maverick Boat Group in 2020, Pursuit in 2018, and Cobalt in 2017, has been to acquire other companies that expand our consumer base, enter new product categories or obtain other competitive advantages. We expect to continue to acquire companies as an element of our growth strategy; however, we may not be able to identify future acquisition candidates or strategic partners as part of our growth strategy that are suitable to our business, or we may not be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms to complete such acquisitions.

Reworded

Acquisitions include a number of risks, including our ability to project and evaluate market demand, realize potential synergies and cost savings, and make accurate accounting estimates, as well as diversion of management attention.attention and incurrence of significant transaction expenses. Uncertainties exist in assessing the value, risks, profitability, and liabilities associated with certain companies or assets, negotiating acceptable terms, obtaining financing on acceptable terms, and receiving any necessary regulatory approvals. As we continue to grow, in part, through acquisitions, our success depends on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these risks. Our failure to successfully do so could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. For example, we determined that our estimated fair value for the Maverick Boat Group reporting unit was less than its carrying value as of March 31, 2024 and we recognized an impairment charge of $88.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 related to our Maverick Boat Group reporting unit.

Added

Our most recent acquisition of Saxdor expanded our geographic presence into Finland and Poland and increased the size and complexity of our operations; however, there is no assurance that we will successfully integrate Saxdor within the intended time frame or at all, which could impede our ability to realize the expected benefits, including synergies, cost savings, and growth opportunities. The integration process may disrupt our business, result in unanticipated expenses, liabilities, and competitive responses, and harm our results of operations. We may be unable to maintain the levels of revenue, earnings, or operating efficiency that Saxdor has historically achieved, and risks including dealer and supplier relationship changes, increased product liability and warranty claims, and reputational harm could further diminish the value of the Saxdor brand. While we believe that the elimination of duplicative costs and other efficiencies will over time offset the non-recurring transaction and integration costs we have incurred and expect to continue to incur, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

Reworded

Our growth strategy includes the possible acquisition of other businesses and the potential integration of new product lines or related products to our boats, such as our initiatives to integrate the production of engines and trailers for our Malibu and Axis models, our Monsoon engines into some of our Cobalt models and our new Tooling Design Center. These actions may require us to secure significant additional capital through the borrowing of money or the issuance of equity. Any borrowings made to finance future strategic initiatives could make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our operating results, a downturn in economic conditions, or increases in interest rates on borrowings that are subject to interest rate fluctuations. If our cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet our debt service requirements, we could then be required to sell additional equity securities, refinance our obligations or dispose of assets in order to meet our debt service requirements. Adequate financing may not be available if and when we need it or may not be available on terms acceptable to us. The failure to obtain sufficient financing on favorable terms and conditions could have a material adverse effect on our growth prospects.

Reworded

Further, we could choose to finance acquisitions or other strategic initiatives, in whole or in part through the issuance of our Class A Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our Class A Common Stock. Most recently, the acquisition of Saxdor was financed through a mixture of cash and Class A Common Stock. If we do so, existing stockholders will experience dilution in the voting power of their Class A Common Stock and earnings per share could be negatively impacted. The extent to which we will be able and willing to use our Class A Common Stock for acquisitions and other strategic initiatives will depend on the market value of our Class A Common Stock and the willingness of potential third parties to accept our Class A Common Stock as full or partial consideration. Our inability to use our Class A Common Stock as consideration, to generate cash from operations, or to obtain additional funding through debt or equity financings in order to pursue our strategic initiatives could materially limit our growth.

Reworded

We and the third parties with whom we work are subject to stringent and evolving U.S. and foreign laws, regulations, rules, and rules, contractual obligations, industry standards, policies and other obligations related to data privacy and security. Our (or the third parties with whom we work) actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation (including class claims) and mass arbitration demands; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers or sales and other adverse business consequences.

Reworded

In the past few years, numerousNumerous U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that impose certain obligations on covered businesses, including providing specific disclosures in privacy notices and affording residents with certain rights concerning their personal data. As applicable, such rights may include the right to access, correct, or delete certain personal data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling, and automated decision-making. Certain states also impose stricter requirements for processing certain personal data, including sensitive information, such as conducting data privacy impact assessments. These state laws allow for statutory fines for noncompliance. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, ( “CCPA”) applies to personal data of consumers, business representatives, and employees who are California residents, and requires businesses to provide specific disclosures in privacy notices and honor requests of such individuals to exercise certain privacy rights. The CCPA provides for fines of up to $7,500 per intentional violation and allows private litigants affected by certain data breaches to recover significant statutory damages. Similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels, and we expect more states to pass similar laws in the future.

Reworded

Outside the United States, an increasing number of laws, regulations, and industry standards govern data privacy and security. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”), the United Kingdom’s GDPR (“UK GDPR”) (collectively, “GDPR”), and Australia’s Privacy Act impose strict requirements for processing personal data. For example, under the GDPR, companies may face temporary or definitive bans on data processing and other corrective actions; fines of up to 20 million Euros under the EU GDPR, 17.5 million pounds sterling under the UK GDPR or, in each case, 4% of annual global revenue, whichever is greater.greater; or private litigation related to processing of personal data brought by classes of data subjects or consumer protection organizations authorized at law to represent their interests.

Reworded

In the ordinary course of business, we may transfer personal data from Europe and other jurisdictions to the United States or other countries. Europe and other jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring data to be localized or limiting the transfer of personal data to other countries. In particular, the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK) have significantly restricted the transfer of personal data to the United States and other countries whose privacy laws it generally believes are inadequate. Other jurisdictions may adopt or have already adopted similarly stringent data localization and cross-border data transfer laws. Although there are currently various mechanisms that may be used to transfer personal data from the EEA and UK to the United States in compliance with law, such as the EEA standard contractual clauses, the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK extension thereto ("DPF Framework") (which allows for transfers to relevant U.S.-based organizations who self-certify compliance and participate in the DPF Framework), these mechanisms are subject to legal challenges, and there is no assurance that we can satisfy or rely on these measures to lawfully transfer personal data to the United States.

Added

Our employees and personnel use generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies and/or automated decision-making technologies to perform their work, and the disclosure and use of personal data in AI technologies is subject to various privacy laws and other privacy obligations. Governments have passed and are likely to pass additional laws and regulations regulating AI and/or automated decision-making technologies. Our use of this technology could result in additional compliance costs, regulatory investigations and actions, and lawsuits. We also use machine learning and AI technologies, including generative AI, in our products and services. The development and use of AI technologies present various privacy and security risks that may impact our business. AI technologies are subject to privacy and data security laws, as well as increasing regulation and scrutiny. Further, countries and states are applying their data and consumer protection laws to AI technologies, and particularly generative AI and interactive chatbots. Several jurisdictions around the globe, including Europe and certain U.S. states, have proposed, enacted, or are considering laws governing the development and use of AI technologies, such as the EU’s AI Act, the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, the Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, and the CCPA regulations on automated decision-making technology. For example, the EU AI Act sets out a risk-based framework, subjecting certain AI technologies to numerous compliance obligations, including transparency, conformity and risk assessment, monitoring and human oversight requirements. Under the EU AI Act, non-compliant companies may be subject to administrative fines of up to 35 million Euros or 7% of a company’s total worldwide annual turnover for the preceding financial year, whichever is the higher. Certain of our activities subject us to the EU AI Act and depending on how the EU AI Act is implemented and interpreted, we may have to adapt our business practices, contractual arrangements, and services to comply with such obligations. We expect other jurisdictions will adopt similar laws. If we are unable to use generative AI, it could make our business less efficient and result in competitive disadvantages.

We may also be subject to the EU Cyber Resilience Act ("CRA"), which imposes mandatory cybersecurity and incident-notification requirements for products with digital elements placed on the EU market. Certain notification obligations begin in September 2026, with full compliance required by December 2027. Failure to comply with the CRA could result in regulatory investigations, fines of up to €15 million or 2.5% of global annual turnover, and other adverse consequences.

Reworded

We are also bound by contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and our efforts to comply with such obligations may not be successful. We publish privacy policies, marketing materials and other statements, regarding data privacyprivacy, artificial intelligence, and data security. Regulators in the United States are increasingly scrutinizing these statements, and if these policies, materials or statements are found to be deficient, lacking in transparency, deceptive, unfair, misleading, or misrepresentative of our practices, we may be subject to investigation, enforcement actions by regulators or other adverse consequences.

Reworded

While we have implemented security measures designed to protect against security incidents, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective. We take steps designed to detect, mitigate, and remediate vulnerabilities in our information systems (such as our hardware and/or software, including that of third parties with whom we work). We have not and may not in the future, however, detect and remediate all such vulnerabilities on a timely basis. Despite our efforts, there can be no assurance that these vulnerability mitigation measures will be effective. Further, we have and may in the future experience delays in deploying remedial measures and patches designed to address identified vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities could be exploited and result in a security incident. Any of the previously identified or similar threats have in the past and may in the future cause a security incident or other interruption that have in the past and may in the future result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure of, or access to our sensitive information or our information technology systems, or those of the third parties with whom we work. A security incident or other interruption could disrupt our ability (and that of third parties with whom we work) to provide our products.

Additionally, if we experience a security incident impacting the electronic components embedded into our products, such as the navigation or operating systems, this could prevent or cause customers to stop using our products, deter new customers from using our products, adversely affect the reputation of our business, or cause us to experience other similar harms.

Reworded

We expend significant resources or modify our business activities to try to protect against security incidents. Certain data privacy and security obligations have required us to implement and maintain specific security measures or industry-standard or reasonable security measures to protect our information technology systems and sensitive information. Applicable data privacy and security obligations have in the past and may in the future require us, or we may voluntarily choose, to notify relevant stakeholders, including affected individuals, customers, regulators, and investors, of security incidents, or to take other actions, such as providing credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. Such disclosures and related actions can be costly, and the disclosure or the failure to comply with such applicable requirements could lead to adverse consequences.

Reworded

If we (or a third party with whom we work) were to experience a security incident or are perceived to have experienced a security incident, we may experience adverse consequences, such as government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; litigation (including class claims); indemnification obligations; negative publicity; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; diversion of management attention; interruptions in our operations (including availability of data); financial loss; and other similar harms. Security incidents and attendant consequences may prevent or cause customers to stop using our products, deter new customers from using our products, and negatively impact our ability to grow and operate our business.

Added

In addition to experiencing a security incident, third parties may gather, collect, or infer sensitive information about us from public sources, data brokers, or other means that reveal competitively sensitive details about our organization and could be used to undermine our competitive advantage or market position.

Added

Additionally, sensitive information about or from the Company or our customers could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed as a result of or in connection with our employees’, personnel's, or vendors’ use of generative AI technologies.

Added

With our recent acquisition of Saxdor and our continued operations in Australia, our operations and sales in international markets will require significant management attention, expose us to difficulties presented by international economic, political, legal, and business factors, and may not be successful or produce desired levels of sales and profitability.

Added

In March 2026, we acquired Saxdor. Saxdor sells premium adventure dayboats worldwide and has three engineering and manufacturing facilities in Finland and Poland. The acquisition of Saxdor significantly increases our international operations and will require substantial management attention as we integrate Saxdor into our current operations. In addition to our Saxdor acquisition, we continue to sell our products throughout the world and we manufacture some boats in Australia for our Malibu segment.

Added

The countries in which we operate, including the U.S., Finland, Poland and Australia, could face economic and geopolitical challenges and may experience significant fluctuations in gross domestic product, interest rates and currency exchange rates, as well as civil disturbances, government instability, nationalization and the imposition of unexpected taxes or other charges by government authorities. This can result in economic and political instability, which could negatively affect our operations in those countries and our ability to sell our boats in those markets.

Removed

We currently sell our products throughout the world and we manufacture boats internationally in Australia. Several factors, including weakened international economic conditions and the strength of the U.S. dollar, could adversely affect our international operation and growth. Expansion in our existing international markets and entry into new international markets require significant management attention. Some of the countries in which we market and our distributors sell our products are, to some degree, subject to political, economic or social instability. Our international operations expose us and our representatives, agents and distributors to risks related to operating in foreign jurisdictions.

Added

In addition, legal systems in markets in which we operate may have different liability standards, which could make it more difficult for us to enforce our legal rights in such countries. Doing business in countries around the world has and may continue to expose us to heightened risks and negatively impact our earnings and cash flows.

Added

Risks and requirements related to transacting business in foreign countries may result in increased liabilities including penalties and fines as well as reputational harm.

Added

Our activities are subject to various trade and economic sanctions and export control laws and regulations administered by the United States, including the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control economic and trade sanctions programs, and other laws and regulations of a similar nature administered by foreign governmental authorities with relevant jurisdiction, including Australia, Finland, and Poland ("Trade Controls"). We also are subject to various anti-corruption laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and U.K. Bribery Act. These laws and regulations may impose restrictions on our business, including our ability to export, reexport, or transfer our products or provide our services to certain countries, territories, entities, or individuals, without authorization from the cognizant government authorities. Relevant licensing processes can be time-consuming, and favorable outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Added

Certain jurisdictions in which we operate or into which our products may be sold present heightened Trade Controls risk. In particular, Russia is subject to expansive and evolving sanctions and export control measures imposed by the United States and allied jurisdictions, including broad restrictions on the export, reexport, and transfer of a wide range of goods, software, and technology. The regulatory landscape applicable to Russia continues to evolve; ensuring ongoing compliance in this environment requires sustained vigilance and resource commitment, and the consequences of non-compliance – whether intentional or inadvertent – can be severe. We endeavor to conduct our activities in compliance with all applicable Trade Controls requirements, including those applicable to Russia, but we cannot guarantee full compliance at all times.

Added

Trade Controls and anti-corruption laws and regulations are subject to frequent change, and compliance can be time- and resource-intensive. Although we have training programs in place for our employees, we cannot guarantee that our rules will be followed, nor can we guarantee full compliance with applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations. Violations of these regimes can result in significant financial penalties, loss of licensing privileges, other administrative penalties, reputational harm, and adverse business impact.

Reworded

In recent years, we have lost market share in certain of our segments because of increased competition in our industry. The recreational powerboat industry, and in particular the performance sport boat category, is highly competitive for consumers and dealers. Competition affects our ability to succeed in the markets we currently serve, includingand the saltwater outboard fishing boat market that we entered with our acquisitions of Pursuit and Maverick Boat Group, and new markets that we may enter in the future.future, including most recently the emerging premium adventure dayboat category in which we entered into this fiscal year with the acquisition of Saxdor. Competition is based primarily on brand name, price, product selection and product performance. We compete with several large manufacturers that may have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do and who are represented by dealers in the markets in which we now operate and into which we plan to expand. We also compete with a variety of small, independent manufacturers. We cannot assure you that we will not face greater competition from existing large or small manufacturers or that we will be able to compete successfully with new competitors.

A portion of our sales are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. With our recent acquisition of Saxdor, we anticipate a much larger portion of our sales than in the past will be denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, with most of Saxdor’s sales denominated in the Euro. Since our acquisition of Saxdor on March 2, 2026, sales in Europe accounted for approximately 54% of Saxdor’s total revenue. We also continue to sell our other brands worldwide. Consequently, a strong U.S. dollar may adversely affect reported revenues. We also maintain a portion of our manufacturing operations in AustraliaPoland and Australia, which partially mitigates the impact of the volatility of the U.S. dollar in thatthose country.countries.

Inflation and risingheightened interest rates could adversely affect our financial results.

The market prices of certain materials and components used in manufacturing our products, especially resins that are made with hydrocarbon, feedstocks, copper, aluminum and stainless steel, can be volatile. Inflation has recently had an adverse impact on our business, particularly related to wages and increases in the cost of raw materials and transportation, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any continued elevated rates or renewed increases could further adversely affect our results.

Reworded

Our dealers require adequate liquidity to finance their operations, including purchases of our boats. Dealers are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could unfavorably affect their liquidity positions, including, among other things, continued access to adequate financing sources on a timely basis and on reasonable terms. These sources of financing are vital to our ability to sell products to our dealers through our distribution network. Access to floor plan financing generally facilitates our dealers’ ability to purchase boats from us, and their financed purchases reduce our working capital requirements. If floor plan financing were not available to our dealers, our sales and our working capital levels would be adversely affected as dealers may shift the timing of certain purchases and otherwise reduce the total number of boats that they purchase during any given period. In addition, risingheightened interest rates could also incentivize dealers to reduce their inventory levels in order to reduce their interest exposure, which may further adversely impact the sales of our boats and our results of operations. For additional information on our dealer network, see "Business--Our Dealer Network and --Dealer Management" above.

We are currently defending against a securities class action lawsuit. On April 10, 2024, fifteen dealerships operated under common control of Tommy’s Boats (“Tommy’s Boats”) filed a complaint against MBI and its indirect subsidiary Boats LLC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (Case 3:24-cv-00166). The complaint alleges that MBI and Boats LLC breached obligations under dealership agreements with Tommy’s Boats, quantum meruit, unjust enrichment, promissory estoppel and intentional and negligent misrepresentations relating to the parties’ commercial relationship. Tommy’s Boats sought monetary damages. Boats LLC has takentook possession of 19 new model year 2024 boats according to a repurchase agreement with M&T Bank, the floor plan financing lender to Tommy’s Boats. These boats were subsequently resold during the three months ended September 30, 2024. On July 3, 2024, Mark E. Andrews, Chapter 11 Trustee (the “Trustee”) for Tommy’s Boats voluntarily dismissed without prejudice the claims filed by Tommy’s Boats. On August 16, 2024, Matthew Borisch, the principal owner of Tommy’s Boats, filed a complaint against Malibu Boats, Inc., Malibu Boats, LLC, and Jack Springer in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee (Case 3:24-cv-00339), alleging similar allegations to those of the dismissed complaint against Malibu Boats, Inc. and Malibu Boats, LLC filed by Tommy’s Boats. Mr. Borisch amended his complaint on October 29, 2024.

We are currently defending against a securities class action lawsuit. On April 29, 2024, a stockholder, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint against MBI and Jack Springer, Bruce Beckman, David Black, and Wayne Wilson as current and former officers of the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Case 1:24-cv-03254). On August 15, 2024, the Court appointed the Retiree Benefit Trust of the City of Baltimore as the Lead Plaintiff in the action. The amended complaint alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in connection with allegedly false and misleading statements made by MBI related to the Company's business, operations, and prospects during the period from November 4, 2022 through May 1, 2024 (“Class Period”). The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 by not disclosing alleged material adverse facts related to the Company’s inventory, demand and relationship with one of its former dealers, Tommy’s Boats, and accordingly, that certain statements made during the Class Period about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading.

On February 12, 2025, a stockholder (the “Gray Plaintiff”) filed a putative stockholder class action complaint, as subsequently amended on April 1, 2026, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”) against MBI, under the caption Gray v. Malibu Boats, Inc., C.A. No. 2025-0151-KSJM (the “Gray Action”), challenging a provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation concerning removal of directors from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Removal Provision”). Without admitting any wrongdoing or that the Gray Plaintiff’s allegations had any merit, MBI represented to the Gray Plaintiff that no director of MBI shall be removed from his or her position pursuant to the Removal Provision. Believing the prompt resolution of the Gray Action to be in the best interest of MBI and its stockholders, MBI has, in its business judgment, also agreed to pay $75,000 in attorneys’ fees and expenses to the Gray Plaintiff’s counsel (including a $500 service award to the Gray Plaintiff) in full satisfaction of the claim for attorneys’ fees and expenses in the Gray Action. On August 18, 2026, MBI and the Gray Plaintiff filed a stipulation, subject to approval by the Chancery Court, providing for the closure of the case, subject to and upon the Company filing an affidavit with the Chancery Court confirming that this notice has been issued and the Gray Plaintiff filing a voluntary dismissal of the Gray Action, with prejudice only as to the Gray Plaintiff and without prejudice as to any other putative class member. The Chancery Court has not been asked to review or pass judgment on the payment of the attorneys’ fees and expenses or their reasonableness.

The manufacture and sale of boats also exposes us to significant risks associated with product liability, economic loss, personal injury and other claims. If our products are found to be defective or used incorrectly by our customers, bodily injury, property damage or other injury, including death, may result and this could give rise to additional product liability or economic loss claims against us and adversely affect our brand image or reputation. During fiscal year 2023, we settled certain product liability matters for $100.0$100 million after a jury found that our subsidiary, Malibu Boats, LLC, and another entity that was the manufacturer of the boat at issue, Malibu Boats West, Inc., negligently failed to warn of a hazard posed by the boat and that such failure was a proximate cause of the death of a passenger in the boat. Malibu Boats West, Inc. is not, and has never been, a subsidiary of ours but was a separate legal entity whose assets were purchased by Malibu Boats, LLC in 2006. See Note 17 of our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. We are also currently defending a customer class action lawsuit. On May 31, 2024, a customer filed a class action complaint against MBI and Boats LLC in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. (Case 1:24-cv-00648). The complaint, which purports to be filed on behalf of a nationwide class of customers, alleges violation of common law, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty, and violation of California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act based on guidance issued to customers of certain older model boats related to riding in the bow area of those boats.

We recently have been named in a complaint filed on July 17, 2026 by Brad Knighton and Britney Knighton, individually, as personal representative of the Estate of O.K., a deceased minor child, and as guardians of O.B.K. and B.E.K., minors, against Cobalt Boats, LLC, Malibu Boats, LLC, Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC, and Malibu Boats, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, Florence Division, in admiralty (Case No. 4:26-cv-02936-JD). The complaint arises from a boating accident that occurred on July 19, 2023 involving a 2006 model year Cobalt 232 bowrider vessel and alleges that the vessel was defective due to inadequate warnings regarding hazards associated with occupancy of the vessel's open bow seating area under certain operating conditions. Plaintiffs assert claims for strict products liability (failure to warn), negligence, breach of implied warranty of merchantability, wrongful death, survival, and negligent infliction of emotional distress, and seek compensatory and punitive damages in an unspecified amount. No defendant has been served with process, and no defendant has filed a responsive pleading. We maintain product liability insurance that is applicable to this case.

We continually evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or whether the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. We use an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flow over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether the asset is recoverable. As of June 30, 2025,2026, the balance of total goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets was $130.3$241.5 million, which represents approximately 17.7%24.2% of total assets. That amount includes $27.1 million of goodwill arising from our acquisition of Saxdor in March 2026. If the future operating performance of either the Company or individual operating segments is not sufficient, we could be required to record non-cash impairment charges. Impairment charges could substantially affect our reported earnings in the periods such charges are recorded. In addition, impairment charges could indicate a reduction in business value which could limit our ability to obtain adequate financing in the future.

Changes in laws and policies governing foreign trade could adversely affect our business and trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries. There is significant uncertainty with respect to future trade regulations, including the potential U.S. tariffs and penalties on products manufactured outside the U.S., and with respect to existing international trade agreements. ForThe example,U.S. inpresidential Apriladministration 2025,has theimposed Unitedsubstantial Statestariffs announcedaffecting thea impositionwide range of worldwideproducts reciprocaland jurisdictions. In response, some countries have implemented, and other tariffscountries onmay itsimplement, trading partners, andcountermeasures in response to the United States' actions, many of the United States' trading partners announced retaliatory tariffs. The United States is currently in ongoing negotiations with many countries and there remains uncertainty aroundU.S. tariffs. The institution of global trade tariffs, trade sanctions, new or onerous trade restrictions, embargoes and other stringent government controls have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy, our industry, our suppliers, and global demand for our products and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. For example, the U.S. presidential administration has announced substantial new tariffs affecting a wide range of products and jurisdictions and has indicated an intention to continue negotiating trade policies. In response, some countries have implemented, and other countries may implement, countermeasures in response to U.S. tariffs. We estimate that 18-20% of our cost of sales for our brands located in the U.S. are sourced from outside the United States and thus we have the potential to be materially impacted by tariffs in future periods. In addition, following our acquisition of Saxdor, we manufacture boats in Finland and Poland, a portion of which are imported into the United States and are subject to applicable U.S. tariffs on European-origin goods.

Added

In addition to increased costs as a result of these tariffs, we may face supply chain disruptions and delays that negatively impact our cost of materials and production processes. The uncertain trade policy environment may also contribute to declining consumer confidence, which could decrease demand for our products. If we are unable to mitigate any potential impacts through supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies, or other measures, our financial performance and growth prospects and/or our ability to create or execute our long-term plans or goals could be negatively affected.

Further, in October 2023, California passed climate disclosure laws that, among other requirements, will require public and private companies that do business in California with total annual revenues exceeding certain thresholds to make disclosures including GHG emission data and climate-related financial risks. The implementing regulations for the law have not yet been drafted and the requirements are currently set to begin taking effect in 2026, with additional requirements phasing in through 2030. While we are still assessing the impact of these requirements, additional reporting obligations could cause us to incur increased costs.

Acquisition of Saxdor

Added

On March 2, 2026, we acquired all issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock and option rights of Saxdor pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") for a purchase price consisting of (i) €111.6 million or approximately $131.3 million in cash, as adjusted for customary adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) 1,523,794 shares of our Class A common stock. The cash consideration was financed through cash on hand and borrowings under our existing credit facility. See Note 4 - Acquisition for further details on changes from the initial measurement at the date of acquisition. The inputs to the aggregate purchase price described above differ from our closing 8-K filed for the Saxdor acquisition.

Added

Additionally, we may pay up to a maximum of €71.3 million or $84.2 million in potential earnout payments ("the earnout consideration") to the sellers to be paid out in calendar year 2027, 2028, and 2029 based on the results of the remainder of calendar year 2026 and the subsequent two calendar years (the “earnout period”), respectively, if certain requirements are met. The current fair value of potential earnout consideration is €26.2 million, or approximately $29.9 million. The earnout consideration may be paid in the form of cash, common stock or a combination thereof, as calculated and determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The form of earnout consideration to be paid is at our sole discretion. The Purchase Agreement also includes certain operating covenants, restrictions, and acceleration provisions applicable during the earnout period. An amount of €1.5 million or approximately $1.7 million related to post-closing adjustments to the purchase price was recorded during our fourth quarter as an offset to the contingent earnout liability as the Company intends, and has the legal right, to withhold such amount from future earnout payments. See Note 4 - Acquisition for further details on changes from the initial measurement at the date of acquisition.

The recreational power boat industry continues to be challenged by macro-economic factors, including inflation and highelevated interest rates, that have increased the cost of production and taken many interest rate sensitive buyers out of the market. In recentthe months,past year, additional tariffs have also been introduced or proposed, as discussed below, and we are monitoring the impact they may have on cost of production, pricing and demand. Simultaneously, less price sensitive buyers have been purchasing larger, more feature-rich boats with higher average selling prices.

Dealer inventories declined during fiscal 2026 as we maintained a disciplined approach to wholesale shipments, and we expect a modest further reduction in dealer inventories in fiscal year 2027. We expect retail demand to remain soft in fiscal 2027 amid continued macroeconomic uncertainty, and we expect promotional activity and dealer incentive costs, including floor plan interest support, to remain elevated relative to historical levels.

Due to high dealer flooring costs and a continued soft retail environment, we expect our dealers to reduce their inventories further in fiscal 2026. Additionally, we expect the retail market to continue to decline in fiscal 2026 due to continued macroeconomic uncertainty.

We aim to increase our market share across the boating categories in which we compete through new product development, improved distribution, new models, and innovative features. We believe our strong brands, new product pipeline, strong dealer network and ability to increase production will allow us to maintain, and potentially expand, our leading market positions. Our newest acquisition, Saxdor, is in the early stages of integration into the business and expected synergies have the potential to be realized over the coming years. We believe enhancing manufacturing capabilities combined with diligent management of dealer networks will position Saxdor for continued growth.

Our financial results and operations have been, and will continue to be, impacted by events outside of our control, including trade policies and tariffs, inflationary pressures, interest rates, material shortages, weather eventsevents, foreign currency fluctuations and global economic uncertainty. The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty. TheBeginning in calendar year 2025, the U.S. presidential administration has recently announcedimposed substantial new tariffs affecting a wide range of products and jurisdictions and has indicated an intention to continue negotiating trade policies.jurisdictions. In response, some countries have implemented, and other countries may implement, countermeasures in response to U.S. tariffs. We estimate that 18-20% of our cost of sales for our brands located in the U.S. are sourced from outside the United States. In addition, following our acquisition of Saxdor, we manufacture boats in Finland and Poland, a portion of which are imported into the United States and thusare subject to applicable U.S. tariffs on European-origin goods. As a result we have the potential to be materially impacted by tariffs in future periods. We are continuing to monitor the potential long-term impact of tariffs and are taking a proactive approach to mitigating material supply chain risks. We expect additionalto incur material costs to be incurred in fiscal year 20262027 due to new tariff exposure of approximately 1.5% to 3% of Costcost of Sales,sales, which includes Saxdor boats shipped to the U.S. and is assuming current tariff rates. We expect to largely offset these added costs viaby recent price increases.

In July 2026, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement providing a $250 million revolving credit facility and a $100 million term loan maturing in 2031, which, together with our $70 million share repurchase authorization, provides flexibility to continue investing in growth while returning capital to shareholders.

Inflation has impacted the prices of our materials and our labor costs, which has had a negative impact on our gross margin and our operations. For example, in recent years the market prices of certain materials and components used in manufacturing our products, especially resins that are made with hydrocarbon, feedstocks, copper, aluminum and stainless steel, have increased. Further, new boat buyers often finance their purchases. Efforts to stop or limit inflation arehave resultingresulted in higher interest rates that translate into an increased cost of boat ownership. We have seen increased interest rates for our customers throughout calendar years 20232024 and 2024.2025. In 2026, interest rates improved slightly, but were still considered elevated. Should inflation and interest rates continue at elevated rates, we may experience less retail demand because prospective consumers may choose to forgo or delay their purchases or buy a less expensive or used boat. We intend to minimize the effect of inflation through selective price increases, cost reductions and improved productivity.

LeveragingWe leverage our robust product offering and additional features to enhance our sales growth and gross margins. Our product mix, as it relates to our brands, types of boats and features, not only makes our offerings attractive to consumers but also helps drive higher sales and margins. Historically, we have been able to realize higher sales and margins when we sell larger boats compared to our smaller boats, our premium brands compared to our entry-level brands and our boats that are fully-equipped with optional features. We intend to continue to develop new features and models and maintain an attractive product mix that optimizes sales growth and margins.

We completed the build-out of our Tooling Design Center at our Pursuit facility in Florida in March 2023. The Tooling Design Center is a vertical integration initiative focusing on the tooling needs for our Malibu, Cobalt, Maverick and Pursuit boats. This vertical integration initiativeinitiative, discussed further below, is part of a multi-year plan to bring our product tooling in-house, which has the potential to help us better control capital expenditures, improve tooling quality, and improve innovation.

We rely on our dealer network to distribute and sell our products. We believe we have developed one of the strongest distribution networknetworks across the recreational boating markets in thewhich performancewe sport boat category.compete. To improve and expand our network and compete effectively for dealers, we regularly monitor and assess the performance of our dealers and evaluate dealer locations and geographic coverage in order to identify potential market opportunities. In March 2026, we expanded our dealer footprint to 68 countries with the acquisition of Saxdor. We intend to continue to add dealers in new territories in the United States as well as internationally, which we believe will result in increased unit sales.

We have vertically integrated a number of key components of our manufacturing process, including the manufacturing of our Monsoon engines, boat trailers, towers and tower accessories, machined and billet parts, soft gripEVA flooring, custom metal fabricated parts, wiring harnesses and most recently, certain tooling for our various brands. We began producing our own engines, branded as Malibu Monsoon engines, in our Malibu and Axis boats for model year 2019. Starting in fiscal year 2024, we began offering Monsoon sterndrive engines to our Cobalt dealers and customers. In the second half of fiscal year 2024, we rolled out our Monsoon engines into Cobalt’s surf boats. We believe our vertical integration initiatives will reduce our reliance on third-party suppliers while reducing the risk that a change in cost or production from any third-party supplier could adversely affect our business. In fiscal year 2022, we began manufacturing our own wiring harnesses in order to reduce the risk of production delays due to delays in receipt of wiring harnesses from third-party suppliers. In March 2023, we launched our new Tooling Design Center located on our Pursuit campus. The Tooling Design Center has potential to help us better control capital expenditures, improve tooling quality, and increase volumes.

Comparison of the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026 to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2025

Added

Net sales for fiscal year 2026 increased $107.0 million, or 13.3%, to $914.6 million, compared to fiscal year 2025. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by $84.3 million of revenue from the new Saxdor segment due to the recent acquisition, a favorable model mix across all three existing segments and year-over-year price increases, partially offset by decreased unit volumes across all three existing segments resulting primarily from lower wholesale shipments. Unit volume for fiscal year 2026 increased 46 units, or 0.9%, to 4,944 units compared to fiscal year 2025. Our unit volume increased primarily due to an additional 246 units contributed by Saxdor, partially offset by lower wholesale shipments across all three existing segments driven by lower retail activity.

Added

Net sales attributable to our Malibu segment increased $0.21 million, or 0.07%, to $312.9 million for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025. Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu segment decreased 73 units for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by a favorable model mix and year-over-year price increases, partially offset by a decrease in units.

Added

Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment increased $4.4 million, or 1.6%, to $284.0 million for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025. Unit volumes decreased 53 units for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period.

Added

Net sales attributable to our Cobalt segment increased $18.1 million, or 8.4%, to $233.4 million for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025. Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 74 units for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity and our dealers' desire to hold less inventory. The increase in net sales was driven primarily by a favorable model mix and year-over-year price increases, partially offset by a decrease in units.

Added

Since our acquisition on March 2, 2026, net sales and unit volume attributable to our Saxdor segment were $84.3 million and 246 units, respectively for the year ended June 30, 2026.

Added

Overall consolidated net sales per unit increased 12.2% to $184,990 per unit for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025. Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 3.5% to $145,538 per unit for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, driven by a favorable model mix and year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased dealer incentive costs per unit. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 6.0% to $234,135 per unit for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, driven by a favorable model mix and year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased dealer incentive costs per unit. Net sales per unit for our Cobalt segment increased 14.4% to $174,812 per unit for fiscal year 2026 compared to fiscal year 2025, driven by favorable model mix and year-over-year price increases. Since our acquisition on March 2, 2026, net sales per unit for our Saxdor segment was $342,695.

Added

Cost of sales for fiscal year 2026 increased $104.6 million, or 15.8%, to $768.1 million compared to fiscal year 2025. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by cost of sales from the new Saxdor segment due to the recent acquisition and higher per unit material and labor costs for the Malibu, Saltwater Fishing, and Cobalt segments. In the Malibu segment, per unit material and labor costs increased by $10.9 million driven by a more expensive model mix that corresponded with higher net sales per unit and inflationary pressures. In the Saltwater Fishing segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $16.9 million driven by a more expensive model mix that corresponded with higher net sales per unit and inflationary pressures. In the Cobalt segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $21.9 million driven by a more expensive model mix that corresponded with higher net sales per unit and inflationary pressures.

Added

Gross profit for fiscal year 2026 increased $2.4 million, or 1.7%, compared to fiscal year 2025. The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by higher net sales, partially offset by increased cost of sales for the reasons noted above. Gross margin for fiscal year 2026 decreased 180 basis points from 17.8% to 16.0% driven primarily by higher per unit material and labor costs.

Added

General and administrative expense for fiscal year 2026 increased $12.7 million, or 13.7%, to $105.1 million compared to fiscal year 2025. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by acquisition related expenses incurred due to the Saxdor acquisition, an incremental increase due to the new Saxdor segment and increases in incentive pay and salaries, partially offset by a $3.5 million legal settlement in fiscal year 2025 along with decreased legal fees. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased 10 basis points to 11.5% for fiscal year 2026 compared to 11.4% for fiscal year 2025. Selling and marketing expense for fiscal year 2026 increased $4.4 million, or 19.1% to $27.5 million compared to fiscal year 2025. The increase was driven primarily by higher personnel-related expenses and marketing events and an incremental increase due to the new Saxdor segment. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expense increased 10 basis points to 3.0% for fiscal year 2026 compared to 2.9% for fiscal year 2025. Amortization expense for fiscal year 2026 increased $4.0 million to $10.8 million due to the additional intangibles acquired from the Saxdor acquisition.

Added

Other expense, net for fiscal year 2026 decreased by $0.8 million, or 56.5% to $0.7 million as compared to fiscal year 2025. The decrease in other expense was due to other income from the reduction in the fair value of the contingent earnout liability as well as a gain in foreign currency translation related to the contingent earnout liability and other income from an adjustment in our tax receivable agreement liability mainly due to decreased blended federal and state tax rates used as a result of OB3 tax reform changes, and in turn, a decrease in the future benefit we expect to pay under our tax receivable agreement with pre-IPO owners. This decrease of other expense was partially offset by increased interest expense of $1.7 million because of additional borrowings in the current year under our revolving credit facility to partially finance the purchase price for the Saxdor acquisition.

Added

Our provision (benefit) for income taxes for fiscal year 2026 decreased $4.3 million, or 85.3% to $0.7 million compared to fiscal year 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower pre-tax earnings and corresponding state taxes, as well as Saxdor tax provision benefits. For fiscal year 2026, our effective tax rate of 30.2% was increased by shortfall expense generated by certain stock-based compensation, certain federal tax code limitations, the impact of the change in tax law enacted (in accordance with OB3) through remeasurement of our deferred tax assets, U.S. state taxes, and foreign rate differentials. These increases were partially offset by Saxdor provision benefits, including transfer tax payments, U.S. research tax credits, and the impact of non-controlling interests in the LLC. For fiscal year 2025, our effective tax rate of 24.8% was increased by a shortfall expense generated by certain stock-based compensation, certain federal tax code limitations, and the impact of U.S. state taxes. These increases were partially offset by research tax credits.

Added

Non-controlling interest represents the ownership interests of the members of the LLC other than us and the amount recorded as non-controlling interest in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income is computed by multiplying pre-tax income (loss) for the applicable fiscal year by the percentage ownership in the LLC not directly attributable to us.

Comparison of the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2024 to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023

Removed

Net sales for fiscal year 2024 decreased $559.3 million, or 40.3%, to $829.0 million, compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease in net sales was driven primarily by decreased unit volumes across all segments resulting primarily from decreased wholesale shipments and increased promotional costs across all segments resulting from elevated channel inventory levels and increased flooring costs for the Saltwater Fishing and Cobalt segments, partially offset by a favorable model mix in our Saltwater Fishing segment and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases. Unit volume for fiscal year 2024 decreased 4,478 units, or 45.4%, to 5,385 units compared to fiscal year 2023. Our unit volume decreased primarily due to lower wholesale shipments across all segments. The decrease in wholesale shipments was driven by our efforts to address elevated channel inventory resulting from weakening retail demand experienced throughout the fiscal year.

Removed

Net sales attributable to our Malibu segment decreased $357.1 million, or 56.1%, to $279.1 million for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023. Unit volumes attributable to our Malibu segment decreased 2,946 units for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower wholesale shipments driven by lower retail activity during the period, increased promotional costs and elevated dealer channel inventory levels.

Removed

Net sales attributable to our Saltwater Fishing segment decreased $121.6 million, or 27.1%, to $327.5 million for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023. Unit volumes decreased 952 units for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease in net sales was driven by a decrease in units and increased dealer flooring program costs, partially offset by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Removed

Net sales attributable to our Cobalt segment decreased $80.6 million, or 26.6%, to $222.4 million for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023. Unit volumes attributable to Cobalt decreased 580 units for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease in net sales was driven primarily by a decrease in units, increased dealer flooring program costs and unfavorable model mix, partially offset by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases.

Removed

Overall consolidated net sales per unit increased 9.4% to $153,953 per unit for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023. Net sales per unit for our Malibu segment increased 3.1% to $127,983 per unit for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023, driven by an increased mix of higher optioned boats and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased promotional costs and increased dealer flooring program costs. Net sales per unit for our Saltwater Fishing segment increased 15.4% to $200,577 per unit for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023, driven by a favorable model mix and inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased promotional activities and increased dealer flooring program costs. Net sales per unit for our Cobalt segment increased 0.5% to $141,542 per unit for fiscal year 2024 compared to fiscal year 2023, driven by inflation-driven year-over-year price increases, partially offset by increased promotional activities, unfavorable model mix, and increased dealer flooring program costs.

Removed

Cost of sales for fiscal year 2024 decreased $355.1 million, or 34.2%, to $681.9 million compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by a 45.4% decrease in volumes and continuing inflationary pressure on costs. In the Malibu segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $24.3 million driven by an increased mix of larger models that corresponded with higher net sales per unit, fixed-cost deleveraging due to lower volumes and increased prices due to inflationary pressures. In the Saltwater Fishing segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $31.7 million driven by an increased mix of larger models that corresponded with higher net sales per unit, fixed-cost deleveraging due to lower volumes and increased prices due to inflationary pressures. In the Cobalt segment, per unit material and labor costs increased $5.8 million driven by fixed-cost deleveraging due to lower volumes and increased prices due to inflationary pressures.

Removed

Gross profit for fiscal year 2024 decreased $204.2 million, or 58.1%, compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by lower sales revenue along with fixed-cost deleveraging. Gross margin for fiscal year 2024 decreased from 25.3% to 17.7% driven primarily by an increased mix of the Saltwater Fishing segment and increased dealer flooring program costs.

Removed

Total operating expenses for fiscal year 2024 decreased by $3.5 million, or 1.7%, from fiscal year 2023, primarily due to a $99.4 million decrease in general and administrative expenses related to our settlement of product liability cases in fiscal year 2023, partially offset by $88.4 million in impairment charges related to Maverick Boat Group. General and administrative expense for fiscal year 2024 decreased $99.4 million, or 56.6%, to $76.3 million compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily driven by the $100.0 million settlement of product liability cases in June 2023. Additionally, there was a decrease in compensation and personnel-related expenses partially offset by increases in legal and professional fees, licenses and permits, and IT infrastructure expenses. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased 350 basis points to 9.2% for fiscal year 2024 compared to 12.7% for fiscal year 2023. In fiscal year 2024, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $49.2 million and an impairment charge to trade names of $39.2 million, both related to Maverick Boat Group. We did not recognize any impairment charges in fiscal year 2023. Selling and marketing expense for fiscal year 2024 decreased $1.2 million, or 5.1% to $22.8 million compared to fiscal year 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease related to boat show and related events. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expense increased 100 basis points to 2.7% for fiscal year 2024 compared to 1.7% for fiscal year 2023. Amortization expense for fiscal year 2024 remained flat at $6.8 million.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Removed

Our provision (benefit) for income taxes for fiscal year 2024 decreased $34.9 million, or 104.0% to ($1.3 million) compared to fiscal year 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by lower pre-tax earnings, including impairment charges related to our Maverick Boat Group reporting unit. For fiscal year 2024, our effective tax rate of 2.3% was reduced by the impairment charges related to our Maverick Boat Group reporting unit. For fiscal year 2023, our effective tax rate of 23.7% differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of U.S. state taxes. This increase in the effective tax rate was partially offset by the benefit of the research and development tax credit as well as the impact of non-controlling interests in the LLC.

Removed

Non-controlling interest represents the ownership interests of the members of the LLC other than us and the amount recorded as non-controlling interest in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) is computed by multiplying pre-tax income (loss) for the applicable fiscal year by the percentage ownership in the LLC not directly attributable to us. For fiscal years 2024 and 2023, the weighted average non-controlling interest attributable to ownership interests in the LLC not directly attributable to us was 1.9% and 2.6%, respectively.

Reworded

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment expense and non-cash, non-operating expenses or other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses, including abandonment of construction in process, litigation settlements, acquisition and integration related expenses, adjustment to earnout liability, certain professional fees, non-cash compensation expense 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 (loss) as determined by GAAP. Management believes adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin allow investors to evaluate the Company’s 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 our core operating performance. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structure and non-recurring or non-operating expenses.

Adjusted net income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used and disclosed by management in order to give management and its investors and analysts a more accurate picture of our underlying earnings performance. Adjusted net income per share, excludes items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Removed

Adjusted net income per share is a newly disclosed non-GAAP financial measure in fiscal 2025. Going forward, we will be disclosing adjusted net income instead of adjusted fully distributed net income (loss). Adjusted net income per share is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used and disclosed by management in order to give management and its investors and analysts a more accurate picture of our underlying earnings performance. Adjusted net income per share, similar to adjusted fully distributed net income (loss), excludes items that management does not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. However, unlike adjusted fully distributed net income (loss), adjusted net income does not assume the exchange of all LLC Units into shares of Class A Common stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interests in the LLC. When we completed our IPO in 2014, Malibu Boats, Inc. held approximately 49.3% of the economic interest in the LLC, which has since increased to approximately 98.6% of the economic interest in the LLC as of June 30, 2025. As a result, the weighted average non-controlling interest attributable to ownership interests in the LLC not directly attributable to us was only 1.6% for fiscal year 2025. We believe adjusted fully distributed net income per share is not as meaningful now as it was in the immediate years following our IPO because the amount recorded as non-controlling interest has a much less significant impact to our earnings performance.

Reworded

We define adjusted net income per share as net income (loss) attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. per share, excluding income tax expense (benefit), before goodwill and other intangible asset impairment expense and non-cash, non-operating expenses, or other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses, including abandonment of construction in process, litigation settlements, acquisition related amortization, acquisition and integration related expenses, adjustment to earnout liability, certain professional fees and non-cash compensation expense, and reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on adjusted income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate.

Reworded

DuringOther than the risk factors below related to our acquisition of Saxdor, during the quarter ended DecemberMarch 31, 2025,2026, there were no material changes to the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors”" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025.

Added

With our recent acquisition of Saxdor and our continued operations in Australia, our operations and sales in international markets will require significant management attention, expose us to difficulties presented by international economic, political, legal, and business factors, and may not be successful or produce desired levels of sales and profitability.

Added

In March 2026, we acquired Saxdor. Saxdor sells premium adventure dayboats worldwide and has three engineering and manufacturing facilities in Finland and Poland. The acquisition of Saxdor significantly increases our international operations and will require substantial management attention as we integrate Saxdor into our current operations. In addition to our Saxdor acquisition, we continue to sell our products throughout the world and we manufacture some boats in Australia for our Malibu segment.

Added

The countries in which we operate, including the U.S., Finland, Poland and Australia, could face economic and geopolitical challenges and may experience significant fluctuations in gross domestic product, interest rates and currency exchange rates, as well as civil disturbances, government instability, nationalization and the imposition of unexpected taxes or other charges by government authorities. This can result in economic and political instability, which could negatively affect our operations in those countries and our ability to sell our boats in those markets.

Added

Doing business on a worldwide basis also requires us to comply with the laws and regulations of various foreign jurisdictions. These laws and regulations place restrictions on our operations, trade practices, partners and investment decisions. In particular, our operations are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption and trade control laws and regulations, such as the FCPA, export controls and economic sanctions programs, including those administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or the OFAC. As a result of doing business in foreign countries and with foreign partners, we are exposed to a heightened risk of violating anti-corruption and trade control laws and sanctions regulations.

Added

In addition, legal systems in markets in which we operate may have different liability standards, which could make it more difficult for us to enforce our legal rights in such countries. Doing business in countries around the world has and may continue to expose us to heightened risks and negatively impact our earnings and cash flows.

Added

Our results after the acquisition of Saxdor may suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded operations following the acquisition.

Added

The size of our business and geographic presence have expanded following our acquisition of Saxdor. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to manage this expanded business, which will pose substantial challenges for management, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of additional operations, including in Finland and Poland where Saxdor has three engineering and manufacturing facilities, and associated increased costs and complexity. There can be no assurances we will be successful or that we will realize the benefits from our acquisition of Saxdor.

Added

We have incurred and will continue to incur significant transaction expenses and acquisition-related integration costs in connection with the acquisition of Saxdor.

Added

We incurred non-recurring, legal and advisory costs in connection with the acquisition of Saxdor and we anticipate that we will incur integration-related charges in connection with the integration of Saxdor. These transaction expenses and integration costs are charged as an expense in the period incurred. The significant transaction costs and integration costs could materially affect our results of operations in the period in which such charges are recorded. Although we believe that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the business, will offset incremental transaction and integration costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term, or at all.

Added

The Saxdor business may underperform relative to our expectations.

Added

We will need to integrate the operations of Saxdor into our business. We may not be able to maintain the levels of revenue, earnings or operating efficiency that we and Saxdor have achieved or might achieve separately. The business and financial performance of Saxdor are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the loss of, or changes to, its relationships with its dealers and suppliers, increased product liability and warranty claims, and negative publicity or other events that could diminish the value of the Saxdor family of brands. We may be unable to achieve the same growth, revenues and profitability that Saxdor achieved in the past.

Added

Changes in currency exchange rates can adversely affect our results.

Added

A portion of our sales are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. With our recent acquisition of Saxdor, we anticipate a much larger portion of our sales than in the past will be denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, with most of Saxdor’s sales denominated in the euro. Since our acquisition of Saxdor on March 2, 2026, sales in Europe accounted for approximately 75% of Saxdor’s total revenue. We also continue to sell our other brands worldwide. Consequently, a strong U.S. dollar may adversely affect reported revenues. We maintain a portion of our manufacturing operations in Poland and Australia which partially mitigates the impact of the volatility of the U.S. dollar in those countries. A portion of our selling, general and administrative costs are transacted in the Polish zloty and Australian dollars as a result.

Added

We also sell U.S. manufactured products into certain international markets in U.S. dollars, including the sale of products into Canada, Europe and Latin America. Demand for our products in these markets may also be adversely affected by a volatile U.S. dollar. We do not currently use hedging or other derivative instruments to mitigate our foreign currency risks.

Added

Risks and requirements related to transacting business in foreign countries may result in increased liabilities including penalties and fines as well as reputational harm.

Added

Our activities are subject to various trade and economic sanctions and export control laws and regulations administered by the United States, including the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Export Administration Regulations and the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control economic and trade sanctions programs, and other laws and regulations of a similar nature administered by foreign governmental authorities with relevant jurisdiction, including Australia, Finland, and Poland. We also are subject to various anti-corruption laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and U.K. Bribery Act. These laws and regulations may impose restrictions on our business, including our ability to export, reexport, or transfer our products or provide our services to certain countries, territories, entities, or individuals, without authorization from the cognizant government authorities. Relevant licensing processes can be time-consuming, and favorable outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

Added

These laws and regulations are subject to frequent change, and compliance can be time- and resource-intensive. Although we have training programs in place for our employees, we cannot guarantee that our rules will be followed, nor can we guarantee full compliance with applicable export control and sanctions laws and regulations. Violations of these regimes can result in significant financial penalties, loss of licensing privileges, other administrative penalties, reputational harm, and adverse business impact.

Added

Climatic events, including hurricanes, tornadoes, or other disruptions, may adversely impact our operations and financial condition, disrupt the business of our suppliers, and may not be adequately covered by insurance.

Added

Climatic events in the areas where we operate have caused, and future climatic events may cause, disruptions and in some cases delays or suspensions in our operations that may adversely impact our business. We rely on the continuous operation of our facilities in Tennessee, Florida, Kansas, California, Poland, Finland and Australia. Any natural or environmental disaster to our facilities due to fire, flood, hurricanes, earthquake, or other severe climatic events could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, we have plants located in regions of the United States, such as Florida and Kansas, that have been and may be exposed to extreme weather, such as tropical storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes. An increased frequency and/or severity of storms, hurricanes, or tornadoes could impair our ability to operate by severely damaging our facilities and restricting our ability to deliver products to our customers. The occurrence of any disruption at any of our facilities, even for a short period of time, may have an adverse effect on our productivity and profitability, during and after the period of the disruption, including by causing delays in receiving supplies from our vendors and creating logistical challenges for delivery of our product to our dealers and customers. These disruptions may also cause personal injury and loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment and environmental damage. Although we maintain property, casualty and business interruption insurance of the types and in the amounts that we believe are customary for the industry, we are not fully insured against all potential natural disasters or other disruptions to our facilities.

Added

We and the third parties with whom we work are subject to stringent and evolving U.S. and foreign laws, regulations and rules, contractual obligations, industry standards, policies and other obligations related to data privacy and security. Our (or the third parties with whom we work) actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation (including class claims) and mass arbitration demands; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers or sales and other adverse business consequences.

Added

In the ordinary course of business, we collect, receive, store, process, generate, use, transfer, disclose, make accessible, protect, secure, dispose of, transmit, and share (collectively, process) personal data and other sensitive information, including proprietary and confidential business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, and sensitive third-party data (collectively, sensitive information).

Added

Our data processing activities subject us to numerous data privacy and security obligations, such as laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security policies, contractual requirements, and other obligations relating to data privacy and security. In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach notification laws, personal data privacy laws, consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act), and other similar laws (e.g., wiretapping laws).

Added

Numerous U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that impose certain obligations on covered businesses, including providing specific disclosures in privacy notices and affording residents with certain rights concerning their personal data. As applicable, such rights may include the right to access, correct, or delete certain personal data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling, and automated decision-making. Certain states also impose stricter requirements for processing certain personal data, including sensitive information, such as conducting data privacy impact assessments. These state laws allow for statutory fines for noncompliance. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, ( "CCPA") applies to personal data of consumers, business representatives, and employees who are California residents, and requires businesses to provide specific disclosures in privacy notices and honor requests of such individuals to exercise certain privacy rights. The CCPA provides for fines and allows private litigants affected by certain data breaches to recover significant statutory damages. Similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels, and we expect more states to pass similar laws in the future.

Added

Outside the United States, an increasing number of laws, regulations, and industry standards govern data privacy and security. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR"), the United Kingdom’s GDPR ("UK GDPR") (collectively, "GDPR"), and Australia’s Privacy Act impose strict requirements for processing personal data. For example, under the GDPR, companies may face temporary or definitive bans on data processing and other corrective actions; fines of up to 20 million Euros under the EU GDPR, 17.5 million pounds sterling under the UK GDPR or, in each case, 4% of annual global revenue, whichever is greater; or private litigation related to processing of personal data brought by classes of data subjects or consumer protection organizations authorized at law to represent their interests.

Added

In the ordinary course of business, we may transfer personal data from Europe and other jurisdictions to the United States or other countries. Europe and other jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring data to be localized or limiting the transfer of personal data to other countries. In particular, the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK) have significantly restricted the transfer of personal data to the United States and other countries whose privacy laws it generally believes are inadequate. Other jurisdictions may adopt or have already adopted similarly stringent data localization and cross-border data transfer laws. Although there are currently various mechanisms that may be used to transfer personal data from the EEA and UK to the United States in compliance with law, such as the EEA standard contractual clauses, the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK extension thereto ("DPF Framework") (which allows for transfers to relevant U.S.-based organizations who self-certify compliance and participate in the DPF Framework), these mechanisms are subject to legal challenges, and there is no assurance that we can satisfy or rely on these measures to lawfully transfer personal data to the United States.

Added

If there is no lawful manner for us to transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK or other jurisdictions to the United States, or if the requirements for a legally-compliant transfer are too onerous, we could face significant adverse consequences, including the interruption or degradation of our operations, the need to relocate part of or all of our business or data processing activities to other jurisdictions (such as Europe) at significant expense, increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines and penalties, the inability to transfer data and work with partners, vendors and other third parties, and injunctions against our processing or transferring of personal data necessary to operate our business. Additionally, companies that transfer personal data out of the EEA and UK to other jurisdictions, particularly to the United States, are subject to increased scrutiny from regulators, individual litigants, and activist groups. Some European regulators have ordered certain companies to suspend or permanently cease certain transfers out of Europe for allegedly violating the GDPR’s cross-border data transfer limitations.

Added

Additionally, under various privacy laws and other obligations, we may be required to obtain certain consents to process personal data. For example, some of our data processing practices may be challenged under wiretapping laws, if we share consumer information with third parties through various methods, including chatbot and session replay providers, or via third-party marketing pixels. These practices may be subject to increased challenges by class action plaintiffs. Our inability or failure to obtain consent for these practices could result in adverse consequences, including class action litigation and mass arbitration demands.

Added

Our employees and personnel use generative artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies and/or automated decision-making technologies to perform their work, and the disclosure and use of personal data in AI technologies is subject to various privacy laws and other privacy obligations. Governments have passed and are likely to pass additional laws and regulations regulating AI and/or automated decision-making technologies. Our use of this technology could result in additional compliance costs, regulatory investigations and actions, and lawsuits. We also use machine learning and AI technologies, including generative AI, in our products and services. The development and use of AI technologies present various privacy and security risks that may impact our business. AI technologies are subject to privacy and data security laws, as well as increasing regulation and scrutiny. Further, countries and states are applying their data and consumer protection laws to AI technologies, and particularly generative AI and interactive chatbots. Several jurisdictions around the globe, including Europe and certain U.S. states, have proposed, enacted, or are considering laws governing the development and use of AI technologies, such as the EU’s AI Act, the Colorado Artificial Intelligence Act, the Utah Artificial Intelligence Policy Act, and the CCPA regulations on automated decision-making technology. For example, the EU AI Act sets out a risk-based framework, subjecting certain AI technologies to numerous compliance obligations, including transparency, conformity and risk assessment, monitoring and human oversight requirements. Under the EU AI Act, non-compliant companies may be subject to administrative fines of up to 35 million Euros or 7% of a company’s total worldwide annual turnover for the preceding financial year, whichever is the higher. Certain of our activities subject us to the EU AI Act and depending on how the EU AI Act is implemented and interpreted, we may have to adapt our business practices, contractual arrangements, and services to comply with such obligations. We expect other jurisdictions will adopt similar laws. If we are unable to use generative AI, it could make our business less efficient and result in competitive disadvantages.

Added

In addition to data privacy and security laws, we are, or may be contractually subject to industry standards adopted by industry groups and, we are, or may become subject to such obligations in the future. For example, we are or may be subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ("PCI DSS"). The PCI DSS requires companies to adopt certain measures to ensure the security of cardholder information, including using and maintaining firewalls, adopting proper password protections for certain devices and software, and restricting data access. Noncompliance with PCI-DSS can result in penalties ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 per month by credit card companies, litigation, damage to our reputation, and revenue losses.

Added

We are also bound by contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and our efforts to comply with such obligations may not be successful. We publish privacy policies, marketing materials and other statements, regarding data privacy, artificial intelligence, and data security. Regulators in the United States are increasingly scrutinizing these statements, and if these policies, materials or statements are found to be deficient, lacking in transparency, deceptive, unfair, misleading, or misrepresentative of our practices, we may be subject to investigation, enforcement actions by regulators or other adverse consequences.

Added

Obligations related to data privacy and security (and consumers’ data privacy expectations) are quickly changing, becoming increasingly stringent, and creating uncertainty. Additionally, these obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which may be inconsistent or conflict among jurisdictions. We may at times fail (or be perceived to have failed) in our efforts to comply with our data privacy and security obligations. Moreover, despite our efforts, our personnel or third parties with whom we work may fail to comply with such obligations, which could negatively impact our business operations. If we or the third parties with whom we work fail, or are perceived to have failed, to address or comply with applicable data privacy and security obligations, we could face significant consequences, including but not limited to: government enforcement actions (e.g., investigations, fines, penalties, audits, inspections, and similar); litigation (including class-action claims) and mass arbitration demands; additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; bans or restrictions on processing personal data; and orders to destroy or not use personal data.

Added

In particular, plaintiffs have become increasingly more active in bringing privacy-related claims against companies, including class claims and mass arbitration demands. Some of these claims allow for the recovery of statutory damages on a per violation basis, and, if viable, carry the potential for monumental statutory damages, depending on the volume of data and the number of violations. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, or financial condition, including but not limited to: loss of customers; interruptions or stoppages in our business operations; inability to process personal data or to operate in certain jurisdictions; limited ability to develop or commercialize our products; expenditure of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or changes to our business model or operations.

Added

If our information technology systems or those of third parties with whom we work or our data, are or were compromised, we could experience adverse consequences resulting from such compromise, including but not limited to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of our business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers or sales; and other adverse consequences.

Added

In the ordinary course of our business, we and the third parties with whom we work, process sensitive information, including intellectual property; our proprietary business information and that of our dealers, suppliers, and other business partners; and personal information of consumers and employees. Cyber-attacks, malicious internet-based activity, online and offline fraud, and other similar activities threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our sensitive information and information technology systems, and those of the third parties with whom we work. Such threats are prevalent and continue to rise, are increasingly difficult to detect, and come from a variety of sources, including traditional computer "hackers," threat actors, "hacktivists," organized criminal threat actors, personnel (such as through theft or misuse), sophisticated nation states, and nation-state-supported actors.

Added

Some actors now engage and are expected to continue to engage in cyber-attacks, including without limitation nation-state actors for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. During times of war and other major conflicts, we, the third parties with whom we work, and our customers, may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of these attacks, including retaliatory cyber-attacks, that could materially disrupt our systems and operations, supply chain, and ability to produce, sell and distribute our products.

Added

We and the third parties with whom we work are subject to a variety of evolving threats, including but not limited to social-engineering attacks (including through deep fakes, which may be increasingly more difficult to identify as fake, and phishing attacks), malicious code (such as viruses and worms), malware (including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), denial-of-service attacks, credential stuffing attacks, credential harvesting, personnel misconduct or error, ransomware attacks, supply-chain attacks, software bugs, server malfunctions, software or hardware failures, loss of data or other information technology assets, adware, telecommunications failures, attacks enhanced or facilitated by AI, and other similar threats. We have in the past been targeted by such attacks and likely will continue to be targeted in the future. In particular, severe ransomware attacks are becoming more prevalent – particularly for companies like ours that are engaged in critical infrastructure or manufacturing – and can lead to significant interruptions in our operations, ability to provide our products, loss of sensitive information and income, reputational harm, and diversion of funds. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but we may be unwilling or unable to make such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting such payments.

Added

It may be difficult and/or costly to detect, investigate, mitigate, contain, and remediate a security incident. Our efforts to do so may not be successful. Actions taken by us or the third parties with whom we work to detect, investigate, mitigate, contain, and remediate a security incident could result in outages, data losses, and disruptions of our business. Threat actors may also gain access to other networks and systems after a compromise of our networks and systems. Future or past business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose us to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as our systems could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities’ systems and technologies. Furthermore, we may discover security issues that were not found during due diligence of such acquired or integrated entities, and it may be difficult to integrate companies into our information technology environment and security program.

Added

We rely on third parties to operate critical business systems to process sensitive information in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, commercial transactions, customer interactions, manufacturing, branding, employee tracking, and other functions. We also rely on third parties to provide other products, services, parts, to sell our products or otherwise to operate our business. Our ability to monitor these third parties’ information security practices is limited, and these third parties may not have adequate information security measures in place. If the third parties with whom we work experience a security incident or other interruption, we could experience adverse consequences. While we may be entitled to damages if the third parties with whom we work fail to satisfy their privacy or security-related obligations to us, any award may be insufficient to cover our damages, or we may be unable to recover such award. In addition, supply-chain attacks have increased in frequency and severity, and we cannot guarantee that third parties’ infrastructure in our supply chain or that of the third parties with whom we work have not been compromised.

Added

While we have implemented security measures designed to protect against security incidents, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective. We take steps designed to detect, mitigate, and remediate vulnerabilities in our information systems (such as our hardware and/or software, including that of third parties with whom we work). We have not and may not in the future, however, detect and remediate all such vulnerabilities on a timely basis. Further, we have and may in the future experience delays in deploying remedial measures and patches designed to address identified vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities could be exploited and result in a security incident.

Added

Any of the previously identified or similar threats have in the past and may in the future cause a security incident or other interruption that have in the past and may in the future result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure of, or access to our sensitive information or our information technology systems, or those of the third parties with whom we work. A security incident or other interruption could disrupt our ability (and that of third parties with whom we work) to provide our products. For example, we have been the target of unsuccessful phishing attempts in the past, and expect such attempts will continue in the future. Additionally, if we experience a security incident impacting the electronic components embedded into our products, such as the navigation or operating systems, this could prevent or cause customers to stop using our products, deter new customers from using our products, adversely affect the reputation of our business, or cause us to experience other similar harms.

Added

We expend significant resources or modify our business activities to try to protect against security incidents. Certain data privacy and security obligations have required us to implement and maintain specific security measures or industry-standard or reasonable security measures to protect our information technology systems and sensitive information. Applicable data privacy and security obligations may require us, or we may voluntarily choose, to notify relevant stakeholders, including affected individuals, customers, regulators, and investors, of security incidents, or to take other actions, such as providing credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. Such disclosures and related actions can be costly, and the disclosure or the failure to comply with such applicable requirements could lead to adverse consequences.

Added

If we (or a third party with whom we work) experience a security incident or are perceived to have experienced a security incident, we may experience adverse consequences, such as government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; litigation (including class claims); indemnification obligations; negative publicity; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; diversion of management attention; interruptions in our operations (including availability of data); financial loss; and other similar harms. Security incidents and attendant consequences may prevent or cause customers to stop using our products, deter new customers from using our products, and negatively impact our ability to grow and operate our business.

Added

Our contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even when they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in our contracts are sufficient to protect us from liabilities, damages, or claims related to our data privacy and security obligations. We cannot be sure that our insurance coverage will be adequate or sufficient to protect us from or to mitigate liabilities arising out of our privacy and security practices, that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that such coverage will pay future claims.

Added

In addition to experiencing a security incident, third parties may gather, collect, or infer sensitive information about us from public sources, data brokers, or other means that reveals competitively sensitive details about our organization and could be used to undermine our competitive advantage or market position.

Added

Additionally, sensitive information about or from the Company or our customers could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed as a result of or in connection with our employees’, personnels’, or vendors’ use of generative AI technologies.

SecondThird Quarter Fiscal 2026 Results (Unaudited)

Reworded

Due to high dealer flooring costs and a continued soft retail environment, we expect our dealers to reduce their inventories furtherfor inthe remainder of fiscal 2026. Additionally, we expect the retail market to continue to decline infor the remainder of fiscal 2026 due to continued macroeconomic uncertainty.

Reworded

We aim to increase our market share across the boating categories in which we compete through new product development, improved distribution, new models, and innovative features. We believe our strong brands, new product pipeline, strong dealer network and ability to increase production will allow us to maintain, and potentially expand, our leading market positions. Our newest acquisition, Saxdor, is in the early stages of integration into the business and expected synergies will be realized over the coming years. We believe enhancing manufacturing capabilities combined with diligent management of dealer networks will position Saxdor for continued growth.

Our financial results and operations have been, and will continue to be, impacted by events outside of our control, including trade policies and tariffs, inflationary pressures, interest rates, material shortages, weather events and global economic uncertainty. The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty. Last year, the U.S. presidential administration announced substantial new tariffs affecting a wide range of products and jurisdictions and has indicated an intention to continue negotiating trade policies.jurisdictions. In response, some countries have implemented, and other countries may implement, countermeasures in response to U.S. tariffs. We estimate that 18-20%18 to 20% of our cost of sales for our brands located in the U.S. are sourced from outside the United States and thus we have the potential to be materially impacted by tariffs in future periods. We are continuing to monitor the potential long-term impact of tariffs and are taking a proactive approach to mitigating material supply chain risks. We expect additional material costs to be incurred infor the remainder of fiscal year2026 2026and into fiscal 2027 due to new tariff exposure of approximately 1.5% to 3% of cost of sales, assuming current tariff rates. We expect to largely offset these added costs viaby recent price increases.

Other expense (income),expense, net for the sixnine months ended DecemberMarch 31, 20252026 decreased by $1.1$0.4 million, or 113.3%30.1% to other income of $0.1$1.0 million. The decrease in other expense (income) was due to other income from an adjustment in our tax receivable agreement liability mainly due to decreased blended federal and state tax rates used as a result of OB3 tax reform changes, and in turn, a decrease in the future benefit we expect to pay under our tax receivable agreement with pre-IPO owners. The decrease in other expense was partially offset by an increase in interest expense. Interest expense increased because of additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility to partially finance the purchase price for the Saxdor acquisition.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net (loss) income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non-cash, non-operating expenses or other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses, including certain professional fees, litigation settlements, acquisition and integration related expenses, non-cash compensation expenseexpense, 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 (loss) income as determined by GAAP. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin allow investors to evaluate the Company’s 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 our core operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structure and non-recurring or non-operating expenses.

We define adjusted net (loss) income per share as net (loss) income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. per share, excluding income tax (benefit) expense, before non-cash, non-operating expenses, or other expenses that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing expenses, including litigation settlements, acquisition related amortization, acquisition and integration related expenses, certain professional fees and non-cash compensation expense, and reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on adjusted (loss) income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate.

Reworded

We exclude the items listed above from net (loss) income per share in arriving at adjusted net (loss) income per share because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors. Adjusted net (loss) income per share has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net (loss) income per share as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity. Certain items excluded are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance. Our presentation of adjusted net (loss) income per share should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of this measure may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net (loss) income per share attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. as determined in accordance with GAAP to adjusted net (loss) income per share for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

We believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to finance our operating activities for at least the next twelve months and beyond.
