Executive Summary

OneWater Marine (ONEW) delivered a challenging Q4 2024, pressured by Hurricanes Helene and Milton that disrupted store operations and delayed customer purchases. Total quarterly revenue declined 16% year-over-year to $378 million, with new boat sales down 18%, pre-owned down 20%, and service parts and other down 7%. Gross profit fell 24% to $91 million, and gross margin compressed to 23.99% as the mix normalized back to pre-COVID boat-sale margins and as the company absorbed restructuring charges related to brand rationalizations. Despite these headwinds, operating income turned positive at $4.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA reached $8.0 million, signaling some margin resilience amid ongoing cost controls. Net loss for the quarter was $9.25 million, or $(0.63) per diluted share, reflecting the hurricane-driven revenue disruption and related cost impact. For the full year 2024, revenue declined 8% to roughly $1.8 billion, with gross profit of $435 million and a gross margin of 24.5%. Annual SG&A declined in dollars to $333 million (18.8% of revenue) from $346 million in 2023, aided by March and September cost-reduction actions. Operating income expanded to $65 million from $18 million in 2023, while net loss narrowed to $6 million from $39 million. On a performance-adjusted basis, OneWater generated EBITDA of $82 million in 2024 and adjusted earnings per share of $0.98. The balance sheet shows total assets of about $1.59 billion, total liabilities of approximately $1.20 billion, liquidity of $30 million, inventory around $591 million, and total debt of about $1.01 billion (net leverage ~4.9x trailing-12-month adjusted EBITDA) as of September 30, 2024. Management highlighted ongoing brand rationalization and inventory optimization as the primary drivers to reduce costs and strengthen the platform heading into 2025. The 2025 outlook is cautiously optimistic: projected sales of $1.7–$1.85 billion, same-store sales growth in the low single digits, adjusted EBITDA of $80–$110 million, and adjusted EPS of $1–$2, with expectations of improved leverage as Florida recovery progresses and promotional activity normalizes.
