Recent Developments

Although our financial results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2013 are not yet finalized, the following information reflects our preliminary expectations with respect to our financial results based on information currently available to management:

Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2012

Net Sales. We expect to report net sales between $43.6 million and $43.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to net sales of $37.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of 15.3% to 16.1%. The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales volume as well as a higher average price per boat. We expect to report an increase in unit sales volume of 10.1% from 601 boats for the three months ended December 31, 2012 to 661 boats for the three months ended December 31, 2013, driven by increased dealer demand for our expanded product offering.

Adjusted EBITDA. We expect to report adjusted EBITDA between $8.2 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of 20.6% to 27.9%. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of increased unit sales volume and higher margins per unit. For the definition of adjusted EBITDA, see “Prospectus Summary–Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data–GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the prospectus.


Comparison of the Six Months Ended December 31, 2013 to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2012

Net Sales. We expect to report net sales between $86.9 million and $87.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to net sales of $71.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of 22.4% to 22.9%. The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to an increase in unit sales volume as well as a higher average price per boat. We expect to report an increase in unit sales volume of 14.9%, from 1,151 boats for the six months ended December 31, 2012, to 1,322 boats for the six months ended December 31, 2013, driven by increased dealer demand for our expanded product offering.

Adjusted EBITDA. We expect to report adjusted EBITDA between $16.4 million and $16.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $12.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, representing an increase of 33.4% to 37.4%. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of increased unit sales volume and higher margins per unit. For the definition of adjusted EBITDA, see “Prospectus Summary–Summary Historical and Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data–GAAP Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the prospectus.
