MasterCraft Reports Fiscal 2017 Second-Quarter and Year-To-Date

Results

Company Continues to Deliver Gross Margin and Earnings Gains

VONORE, Tenn. – February 9, 2017 – MasterCraft (NASDAQ: MCFT) today announced financial results for its fiscal 2017 second quarter ended January 1, 2017.

 

Highlights:

·

Company launches XT21, an agile new mid-sized multi-purpose crossover boat

·

Net sales for the second quarter declined 7.4 percent compared to the prior-year, while net sales year-to-date rose slightly to $111.8 million, up from $111.2 million in the prior-year period in line with the Company’s guidance

 

 

 

·

Gross margin rose 10 basis points to 27.9 percent for the second quarter, up from 27.8 percent in the prior-year period, and up 60 basis points year-to-date to 28.7 percent from a year earlier

·

Net income for the second quarter totaled $4.0 million, up from $1.9 million in the prior-year period; net income totaled $11.0 million for the year-to-date period up from $0.6 million a year earlier

·

Diluted and basic earnings per share grew to $0.22 for the second quarter, up from $0.10 a year earlier and up year-to-date to $0.59 per share compared to $0.03 in the prior-year period 

·

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, decreased for the second quarter to $9.0 million from $10.5 million and increased year-to-date to $22.3 million from $21.2 million a year earlier

·

Fully diluted pro forma Adjusted net income per share, a non-GAAP measure, declined to $0.26 for the second quarter, down from $0.33 a year earlier and grew year-to-date to $0.67 per share compared to $0.63 in the prior-year period

·

Second-quarter cash conversion cycle was 5.7 days, improved from 6.2 in the year-earlier period

 

Terry McNew, MasterCraft’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We were pleased to see low double-digit growth in retail demand during the first half of our fiscal year. Market reception for our recently released XT20 has been strong, and the second-quarter launch of the XT21 will allow this series to continue setting the new industry standard in premium features and performance for towboat activities. In the first half of 2017, we continued our solid operational performance delivering gains in gross margins, net income and earnings per share, as well as improving on our already outstanding working capital management. Lower shipments to dealers in the second quarter of 2017 were in line with our expectations and reflected the timing of production compared to the prior year, as well as efforts to manage retailer pipeline inventories.”

 

Second-Quarter Results

Net sales for the second quarter ended January 1, 2017, decreased $4.1 million or 7.4 percent, to $51.1 million from $55.2 million for the prior-year period. The decline was due to a reduction in unit sales volume of 65 units, or 9.3 percent, partially offset by an increase of


 

2.2 percent in net sales per unit due to price gains and increased sales of higher content option packages.

 

Gross profit for the second quarter, decreased $1.1 million, or 7.0 percent, to $14.3 million, compared to $15.4 million in the prior-year period due to lower sales volume and overhead absorption associated with lower unit production. Gross margin rose slightly to 27.9 percent from 27.8 percent for the prior-year period resulting primarily from increased sales of higher content option packages which increased average gross profit per unit by 2.6 percent.

 

Said McNew, “We continued to grow our gross margin delivering second-quarter gains for the sixth quarter in a row. While international markets continue to present challenges—an industry-wide trend that’s not unique to MasterCraft—domestic demand for our boats remains solid. Across the organization, we’re intently focused on delivering profitable, sustainable market share growth, and driving efficiency in every area of the business.”

 

Selling and marketing expense decreased $0.5 million, or 15.2 percent, to $2.4 million for the second quarter ended January 1, 2017 compared to the year-earlier quarter. General and administrative expense totaled $4.8 million versus $9.6 million for the prior-year period. This decrease resulted mainly from a $6.6 million decrease in stock-based compensation costs, partially offset by higher litigation costs and medical insurance costs.

 

Fiscal second-quarter net income totaled $4.0 million, up from $1.9 million in the year-earlier quarter. Adjusted net income decreased to $4.9 million, or $0.26 per share, on a pro forma, fully diluted weighted average share count of 18.7 million shares. This compares with Adjusted net income of $6.2 million, or $0.33 per share, in the prior-year period. The decline was primarily due to higher medical insurance costs and reduced overhead absorption associated with lower unit production.

 

EBITDA increased to $7.9 million from $3.6 million in the prior-year period primarily due to a $6.6 million decrease in stock-based compensation costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 150 basis points to 17.6 percent, from 19.1 percent in the prior-year period, primarily due to higher medical insurance costs.  Adjusted EBITDA was $9.0 million, a 14.5 percent decrease from $10.5 million in the prior-year period. See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted net income to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

Year-To-Date Second-Quarter 2017 Results

Net sales for the fiscal year-to-date ended January 1, 2017, increased $0.6 million or 0.5 percent, to $111.8 million from $111.2 million for the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in our net sales per unit, which increased by 2.7 percent due primarily to price increases, as well as increased sales of higher content option packages, partially offset by a reduction in unit volume of 29 units, or 2.1 percent.

 

Gross profit for the fiscal year-to-date ended January 1, 2017, increased $0.9 million, or 2.9 percent, to $32.1 million, compared to $31.2 million in the prior-year period. Gross margin rose to 28.7 percent from 28.1 percent for the prior-year period resulting primarily from 


 

increased sales of higher content option packages which increased average gross profit per unit by 5.1 percent.

 

Selling and marketing expense decreased $0.9 million, or 16.1 percent, to $4.5 million for the fiscal year-to-date ended January 1, 2017, compared to the year-earlier period. This decrease resulted mainly from reduced spending on the MasterCraft Throwdown event as well as reductions in selling and marketing expenditures tied to the timing of new product launch activity. General and administrative expense totaled $8.9 million versus $18.9 million for the prior-year period. This decrease resulted mainly from a $11.9 million decrease in stock-based compensation costs, partially offset by higher litigation costs and medical insurance costs.

 

Fiscal year-to-date net income totaled $11.0 million, up from $0.5 million in the year-earlier period, reflecting reduced stock-based compensation costs recorded in the prior year. Adjusted net income increased to $12.5 million, or $0.67 per share, on a pro forma, fully diluted weighted average share count of 18.7 million shares. This compares favorably with Adjusted net income of $11.9 million, or $0.63 per share, in the prior-year period.

 

EBITDA increased to $20.3 million from $5.1 million in the prior-year-to-date period. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 90 basis points to 20.0 percent, from 19.1 percent in the prior-year-to-date period. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.3 million, a 5.3 percent increase from $21.2 million in the prior year. See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted net income to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

In December 2016, MasterCraft completed two secondary offerings for a total of 2,995,000 shares of its common stock held by affiliates of Wayzata Investment Partners. The public offering price for the first offering consisting of 1,495,000 shares was $13.35 per share which included 195,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of its over-allotment option.  The public offering price for the second offering consisting of 1,500,000 shares was $13.45 per share. No shares were sold by the Company in either offering, and the Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares. As a result of the recent offerings,  Wayzata Investment Partners ownership percentage of our common stock has dropped below 10 percent.

 

Key Milestones

MasterCraft continued to advance its strong product introduction pipeline, unveiling the all-new XT21, an agile, mid-sized, multi-purpose crossover boat. Building on the success of the recently released XT20 model, the XT21 is MasterCraft’s latest addition to its new do-everything XT crossover boats that deliver premium comfort and performance at a more affordable price.

 

The new XT21 is a middleweight crossover boat that is easy to transport and operate and can accommodate a crew of 14. The all-new hull on the XT21 delivers responsive handling with minimum bow rise and improves performance in every on-water activity-from large wakes, to endless waves and smooth skiing.

 


 

Said McNew, “Like all MasterCraft boats, the optional award-winning Gen 2 Surf System has been custom designed for the new hull to create three zones of perfectly sculpted and sizeable curling surf waves. The XT21 also can be outfitted with the revolutionary Dockstar Handling System, an innovative flanking rudder system that makes maneuvering in tight spots and crowded marinas a breeze. Moreover, customers have the option of adding our new ‘Cool Feel’ vinyl that stays cool to the touch even after extended exposure to direct sunlight—which is an industry first.”

 

Continued McNew, “In terms of financial discipline, we continue to deliver best-in-class working capital management. Our combined balance of trade receivables and inventories was $13.8 million at the end of our fiscal 2017 second quarter compared to $16.2 million at the end of fiscal 2016. We also continue to improve on our already outstanding cash conversion cycle days which runs in the single digits compared to a watercraft industry average of 55 days. Superior working capital management affords opportunities to enhance shareholder return in a variety of ways and is a hallmark of a well-managed company.”

 

Outlook

Concluded McNew, “MasterCraft has delivered a solid fiscal 2017 first half with net sales and EBITDA growth in line with our expectations and we’re optimistic about the future. We remain committed to our five-pronged growth strategy: developing new and innovative products; further penetrating the entry-level and mid-line segment of the performance sport boat category; capturing share from adjacent boating categories; strengthening our dealer network; and driving margin expansion through continuous operational excellence.”

 

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, MasterCraft reiterates its forecast for net sales growth in the low- to mid-single digits and continued growth in Adjusted EBITDA margin with a forecast in the low 19 percent range. Net sales growth will result in continued growth in net income, EBITDA and Adjusted net income, despite increased interest expense due to the refinancing completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.

Non-GAAP Measures

We define EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges and other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operations, including change in common stock warrant fair value, fees and expenses related to the Company’s initial public offering and follow on offering and our stock-based compensation. We define Adjusted net income as net (loss) income adjusted to eliminate certain non-cash charges and other items that we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operations, including change in common stock warrant fair value, fees and expenses related to the Company’s initial public offering and follow-on offering, our stock-based compensation and an adjustment for income tax expense at a normalized annual effective tax rate. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA expressed as a percentage of sales. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not measures of net (loss) income or operating income as determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which we refer to as “GAAP.” Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are not measures of performance in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of cash flow for management’s discretionary use. We believe that the inclusion of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted net income is appropriate to provide additional information to investors because securities analysts, noteholders and other investors use these non GAAP financial measures to assess our operating performance across periods on a consistent basis and to evaluate the relative risk of an investment in our securities. We use Adjusted net income to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP alone measures. We believe Adjusted net income assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes non-cash items and items not indicative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

 


 

·

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our tax expense or any cash requirements to pay income taxes;

·

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest payments on our indebtedness; and

·

Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of earnings or charges resulting from matters we do not consider to be indicative of our ongoing operations, but may nonetheless have a material impact on our results of operations.

 

In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including companies in our industry.
