Stockholders' Equity Stockholders’ Equity
Equity-Based Compensation
We maintain the OneWater Marine Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) to incentivize individuals providing services to OneWater Inc and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The LTIP provides for the grant, from time to time, at the discretion of the board of directors of OneWater Marine Inc. (the “Board”) or a committee thereof, of (1) stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) restricted stock, (4) restricted stock units, (5) stock awards, (6) dividend equivalents, (7) other stock-based awards, (8) cash awards, (9) substitute awards and (10) performance awards. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the LTIP that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options (which generally are stock options that meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code) is 1,637,399. The LTIP is and will continue to be administered by the Board, except to the extent the Board elects a committee of directors to administer the LTIP. Class A common stock subject to an award that expires or is cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares (including forfeiture of restricted stock awards) and shares withheld to pay the exercise price of, or to satisfy the withholding obligations with respect to, an award will again be available for delivery pursuant to other awards under the LTIP.
2025 Awards
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Board approved the grant of 152,072 performance-based restricted stock units, which represents 100% of the target award. Performance-based restricted stock units provide an opportunity for the recipient to receive a number of shares of our common stock based on our performance goals. A performance-based restricted stock unit equals one share of common stock of the Company. The performance-based restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments commencing on October 1, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the Company achieved 152% of the performance target.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Board approved the grant of 211,978 time-based restricted stock units. Of this amount, 36,596 restricted stock units fully vest on October 1, 2025 and the remaining 175,382 restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments commencing on October 1, 2025.
Compensation cost for time-based restricted stock units is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date immediately preceding the grant and is recognized on a graded basis over the applicable vesting periods. Compensation cost for performance share units is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date immediately preceding the grant and the ultimate performance level achieved and is recognized on a graded basis over the applicable vesting period. The Company recognized $10.0 million, $7.9 million and $8.2 million of compensation expense for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which includes $5.1 million, $2.9 million, and $3.5 million of compensation expense for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for performance-based units.
The following table further summarizes activity related to restricted stock units for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

As of September 30, 2025, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding equity awards was $5.0 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years.
We issue shares of our Class A common stock upon the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units. These shares are issued from our authorized and not outstanding common stock. In addition, in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units, we repurchase a portion of shares equal to the amount of employee income tax withholding. We recognize forfeitures of performance-based restricted stock units and time-based restricted stock units as the forfeitures occur.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to OneWater Inc by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares.
The following table sets forth the calculation of net loss per share for the years ended September 30, 2025, 2024, and 2023 (in thousands, except per share data):

Shares of Class B common stock and unvested restricted stock units do not share in the income (losses) of the Company and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate presentation of basic and diluted net loss per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.
The following number of weighted-average potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of including such potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive upon conversion (in thousands):

On March 30, 2022, the Board approved a share repurchase program up to $50.0 million. No shares of Class A common stock were repurchased by the Company during the year ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025 the Company has repurchased and retired 73,487 shares of Class A common stock under the repurchase program for a purchase price of approximately $1.9 million. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $48.1 million remained available for future purchase under the repurchase program. The repurchase program does not have a predetermined expiration date.
Any such share repurchases may be subject to a U.S. federal excise tax. Subject to certain exceptions and adjustments, the amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the aggregate fair market value of the shares of stock repurchased by the corporation during a taxable year, net of the aggregate fair market value of certain new stock issuances by the repurchasing corporation during the same taxable year. In the past, there have been proposals to increase the amount of the excise tax from 1% to 4%; however, it is unclear whether such a change in the amount of the excise tax will be enacted and, if enacted, how soon any change would take effect.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
At the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), held on February 23, 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the OneWater Marine Inc. 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which was approved and adopted by the Board as of January 13, 2021 (the “Adoption Date”), subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting. The effective date of the ESPP is February 23, 2021, and, unless earlier terminated, the ESPP will expire on the twentieth anniversary of the Adoption Date. The ESPP will be administered by the Board or by one or more committees to which the Board delegates such administration.
The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a discount through participation in discrete offering periods. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Up to a maximum of 510,145 additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock may be issued under the ESPP as of September 30, 2025, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the ESPP. On the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the ESPP, beginning on October 1, and ending on (and including) September 30, the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the ESPP will increase by a number of shares equal to the least of (i) 1% of the outstanding shares on the Adoption Date, or (ii) such lesser number of shares (including zero) that the administrator determines for purposes of the annual increase for that fiscal year. The number of shares of Class A common stock that may be granted to any single participant in any single option period will be subject to certain limitations set forth in the plan.
The Company recorded equity-based compensation for the ESPP of $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.7 million during the years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had current liabilities of $0.2 million and $0.3 million. respectively, for future purchases of shares under the ESPP. During the year ended September 30, 2025, 93,477 shares were issued under the ESPP at an average price per share of $12.69. During the year ended September 30, 2024, 59,089 shares were issued under the ESPP at an average price per share of $25.72.
We used a Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of the options granted to purchase shares issued pursuant to the ESPP. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Non-Controlling Interest
As discussed in Note 1, OneWater Inc consolidates the financial results of OneWater LLC and its subsidiaries. Prior to March 31, 2025, OneWater Inc reported non-controlling interests attributable to the portion of OneWater LLC Units not owned by OneWater Inc. Holders of OneWater LLC Units could exchange their LLC Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of Class B common stock of OneWater Inc, for shares of Class A common stock of OneWater Inc on a one-for-one basis or, at OneWater LLC’s election, cash. During the year ended September 30, 2025, the remaining OneWater LLC Units were exchanged for 1,429,940 shares of Class A common stock of OneWater Inc., and the corresponding remaining 1,429,940 shares of Class B common stock of OneWater Inc. were cancelled. As of September 30, 2025, OneWater Inc owns 100.0% of the economic interest of OneWater LLC and, accordingly, going forward will no longer report a non-controlling interest related to OneWater LLC Units.
As discussed in Note 4, the Company acquired an 80% economic interest in Quality Boats during the year ended September 30, 2022. The Company had the exclusive right, but not obligation, to acquire the remaining 20% economic interest at any time before January 1, 2027. On October 31, 2023, the Company exercised the right to acquire the remaining 20% economic interest in Quality Boats.
