Fiscal Third Quarter 2021 Results
Revenue for the fiscal third quarter 2021 was $404.2 million, a decrease of 1.0% compared to $408.3 million in fiscal third quarter 2020. Industry-wide inventory challenges hampered sales of new and pre-owned boats in the fiscal third quarter 2021, compared to the prior year. Finance & insurance income was down in-line with boat sales. Partially offsetting this was a 58% increase in service, parts & other sales which grew $10.9 million in the fiscal third quarter 2021 as a result of the Company’s intensified focus on expanding this high margin, less cyclical business.
During the fiscal third quarter 2021 same-store sales decreased 11%, following a 44% increase in the third quarter 2020 and is the result of the industry-wide supply-chain challenges. Same store sales for the third quarter and year-to-date 2021 when compared to the comparable periods in 2019 were 14% and 26%, respectively.
Gross profit totaled $127.0 million for the fiscal third quarter 2021, up $32.3 million from $94.7 million for the fiscal third quarter 2020. Gross profit margin of 31.4% increased 822 basis points compared to the prior year driven by the mix of boats sold and the sharp increase in high margin service, parts & other sales during the quarter.
Fiscal third quarter 2021 selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $60.5 million, or 15.0% of revenue, compared to $43.1 million, or 10.6% of revenue, in the fiscal third quarter of 2020. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was due mainly to higher variable personnel costs driven by the increased level of profitability in the current year.
Net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2021 totaled $51.6 million, compared to $40.6 million in the fiscal third quarter of 2020. The significant increase was primarily due the mix of boats sold, the heightened level of gross profit during the quarter and the increase in service, parts & other sales.
Fiscal third quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA (see reconciliation of Non-GAAP financial measures) increased to $65.5 million, compared to $49.3 million for the fiscal third quarter of 2020.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $113.2 million, an increase of $25.3 million compared to $88.0 million as of June 30, 2020. Total inventory as of June 30, 2021 decreased sequentially to $116.9 million compared to $186.1 million on March 31, 2021, due to the supply-chain shortages across the industry. Total long-term debt at June 30, 2021 was $115.7 million, less cash and cash equivalents yield net debt of $2.5 million, before the July 19, 2021 dividend payment.
Fiscal Year 2021 Guidance
The Company is raising its fiscal full year 2021 outlook for Adjusted EBITDA to be in the range of $150 million to $155 million and diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $6.60 to $6.80, excluding any acquisitions that may be completed later in the year. However, based on continued broad-based inventory challenges in the industry near-term, OneWater now expects same store sales to increase approximately 10%. This outlook assumes OneWater’s manufacturers can maintain production at the current pace allowing us to deliver presold units and build inventory, in the face of industry-wide supply chain constraints.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
This press release and our related earnings call contain certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance. Management believes these measures may be useful in performing meaningful comparisons of past and present operating results, to understand the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and how management views the business. Reconciliations of reported GAAP measures to adjusted non-GAAP measures are included in the financial schedules contained in this press release. These measures, however, should not be construed as an alternative to any other measure of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. Because our non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently by other companies, our definition of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. We have not reconciled non‐GAAP forward-looking measures, including Adjusted EBITDA guidance, to their corresponding GAAP measures due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections, particularly with respect to acquisition contingent consideration and transaction costs. Acquisition contingent consideration and transaction costs are affected by the acquisition, integration and post-acquisition performance of our acquirees which is difficult to predict and subject to change. Accordingly, reconciliations of forward looking Adjusted EBITDA is not available without unreasonable effort.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense – other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and other (income) expense, further adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as the change in the fair value of warrant liability, gain (loss) on contingent consideration, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs. See reconciliation below.
Our board of directors, management team and lenders use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other items (such as the fair value adjustment of the warrants, gain or loss on contingent consideration, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing our financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
Same-Store Sales
We define same-store sales as sales from our stores excluding new and acquired stores. New and acquired stores become eligible for inclusion in the comparable store base at the end of the store’s thirteenth month of operations under our ownership and revenues are only included for identical months in the same-store base periods. Stores relocated within an existing market remain in the comparable store base for all periods. Additionally, amounts related to closed stores are excluded from each comparative base period. We use same-store sales to assess the organic growth of our revenue on a same-store basis. We believe that our assessment on a same-store basis represents an important indicator of comparative financial results and provides relevant information to assess our performance.
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release and statements made during the above referenced conference call may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, prospects, plans and objectives of management, growth rate and its expectations regarding future revenue, operating income or loss or earnings or loss per share.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, but are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us, which are inherently subject to uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our expectations expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements may not turn out to be correct.
