What the filing says
On March 2, 2026, Malibu Boats acquired Saxdor (premium adventure dayboat brand) for net consideration of ~$118.3M cash and ~$41.7M in Class A shares plus contingent consideration (~$32.6M). FY2026 net sales rose 13.3% to $914.6M (+$107M), but GAAP net income collapsed 88.8% to $1.7M (from $15.2M) due to acquisition integration costs ($14.8M), amortization step-up ($3.1M), and margin compression from inflationary material/labor costs. The Board authorized a $70M share repurchase program for FY2027 (paused during refinancing; credit facility extended to July 2031).
Why this rating
Major M&A adds 9.2% revenue (~$84.3M Saxdor in 4 months) but crushes near-term GAAP earnings 89%, compressing margins from 1.9% to 0.2%. Relative to $518M market cap, ~$192M deal is ~37% of equity value—material. Upside: adjusted EBITDA stable (−1.1%), strong FCF (+48.3%), debt manageable. Downside: macro headwinds acknowledged, integration risk, FY27 guidance modest (8–9% EBITDA margin).
