MasterCraft Reports $154.1 Million Net Sales
The boat maker's first three-month transition period, ended Oct. 4, was lifted by its May merger with Marine Products Corp.
Updated on Nov. 12, 2026 in Corporate Finance
MasterCraft Boat Holdings reported net sales of $154.1 million for the first three months of its transition period, which ended Oct. 4, an increase of $85.1 million, or 123.4%, from the prior-year period. The gain was mainly driven by the Recreation and Sport Fishing segment added through the May 15 merger with Marine Products Corp.
Why it matters
The results show the combined company's early performance after the merger, with growth coming from higher unit volumes, a richer model mix and higher prices in its performance and wake and leisure segments. The company also changed its fiscal year-end from June 30 to Dec. 31 to align with Marine Products' calendar.
Net sales of $154.1 million rose 123.4% from the prior-year period, while excluding the Marine Products brands (Chaparral and Robalo) growth was 37.4%, or $25.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, reached $20.1 million, up $13.1 million, but the company has not yet reported results for the six-month transition period.
The players
MasterCraft Boat Holdings
MasterCraft Boat Holdings is a U.S. recreational boat manufacturer known for its wakeboard and wake boats, which reported the financial results and outlook.
Marine Products Corp.
Marine Products Corp. is a publicly traded boat manufacturer whose Chaparral and Robalo brands were combined with MasterCraft through a May merger.
The details
The sales increase was driven by higher unit volumes, a more favorable model mix, and higher prices in the performance and wake and leisure segments, with the largest contribution from the Recreation and Sport Fishing segment added through the merger. MasterCraft also projected consolidated net sales of $293 million to $297 million and adjusted EBITDA of $32 million to $34 million for the six-month transition period running July 1 through Dec. 31, with capital expenditures of approximately $9 million.
Timeline
May 15: Merger with Marine Products Corp. completed
Oct. 4: First three-month transition period ended
July 1 through Dec. 31: Six-month transition period covered by the outlook
Market Landscape
The change to a December fiscal year-end to match Marine Products places MasterCraft's consolidated reporting on the same calendar as the combined recreational boat business following the May merger. This alignment is typical of companies integrating an acquired business, and it sets up the six-month transition period as the first reporting window for the combined entity.
Investors tracking MasterCraft now have a reporting window that closes Dec. 31 rather than June 30, which changes when the next full-period results arrive. The projected adjusted EBITDA of $32 million to $34 million gives shareholders a benchmark to measure the combined company's performance against in coming filings.
The takeaway
Combined results can look very different from the prior year when an acquisition is added mid-period, so comparing growth both with and without the acquired business gives a clearer view of underlying performance.
What happens next
MasterCraft is scheduled to report results for the six-month transition period running July 1 through Dec. 31, against its projected net sales of $293 million to $297 million.
