OneWater Marine reports Q4 adjusted EPS (36c), consensus 15c

Reports Q4 revenue $377.9M, consensus $419.95M. “Our team demonstrated remarkable resilience and execution amidst a challenging retail environment as consumer behavior and industry inventory reset in fiscal 2024. Our revenue and brand diversification, coupled with our geographic reach, helped mitigate the impact of macroeconomic uncertainty and severe weather, underscoring the strength of our business model,” commented Austin Singleton, Chief Executive Officer at OneWater. “As we closed out the fiscal year, Hurricane Helene struck the West Coast of Florida, causing extensive damage. Our thoughts remain with those affected, and we are actively supporting local recovery efforts. In preparation for the storm we temporarily closed several stores, and insurance companies halted writing new policies, disrupting sales during the last 10 days of the month and significantly impacting our fourth quarter results. Currently, all retail locations are operational, and we are ready to assist customers as they resume their boat buying journey. Looking to fiscal 2025, we expect a slower start to the year given the ongoing impacts from Hurricanes Helene and Milton; however, we are cautiously optimistic in our full year outlook. Customers are active, our inventory positioning remains healthy, and we expect our recent cost actions to continue to benefit us as we move through the year.”
