MarineMax recently reported its fourth quarter and full year results for fiscal 2024, highlighting challenges and resilience amid adverse weather conditions.

Key financial metrics for the fiscal year include a total revenue of $2.43 billion, a 1% increase in same-store sales, and a gross profit margin of 33.0%. The company faced a decrease in net income to $38.1 million for the year, as compared to $109.3 million in fiscal 2023, primarily due to the impact of severe weather and increased interest expenses.
