MALIBU BOATS, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2026

Loudon, TN, November 5, 2026 - Malibu Boats, Inc. (Nasdaq: MBUU) today announced its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2026.

Highlights for Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2025:

•Net sales increased 29.9% to $252.9 million

•Unit volume increased 15.1% to 1,299 units

•Gross profit increased 35.5% to $37.8 million

•GAAP net income (loss) increased from a net loss of $0.7 million to a net income of $6.1 million

•GAAP net income (loss) available to Class A Common Stock per share (diluted) increased from a net loss of $0.04 per share to a net income of $0.30 per share

•Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.7% to $14.3 million

•Adjusted net income per share remained consistent at $0.15 per share on a basic weighted-average share count of 19.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock

•Cash flows used in operating activities was $31.1 million, reflecting seasonal working capital investment and an inventory rebuild during the quarter

•Board of Directors approved a change in fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31

•Provides transition period outlook for the three and six months ending December 31, 2026; calendar 2027 outlook to be provided concurrent with six month transition period reporting in March 2027

“Our results for the three months ended September 30, 2026 reflect a softer retail environment over the summer and our decision to manage wholesale shipments with discipline to protect dealer health, which kept net sales modestly below our guided range and constrained adjusted EBITDA. Cobalt and our Saltwater brands grew volume and Saxdor contributed meaningfully to growth, which was partially offset by softer demand in the ski/wake boat category, where Malibu continued to gain share amid a challenging environment,” said Steve Menneto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Malibu Boats, Inc. “We will continue to align wholesale shipments with retail demand to support our dealers through this cycle, and our outlook for the next quarter reflects that approach. At the same time, we are making tangible progress on our long-term priorities, from completing our first U.S.-built Saxdor boats at Fort Pierce to debuting new models across our brands at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. We remain intentional about our outlook until we see more durable evidence of a broader recovery, but our conviction in Build, Innovate, Grow and the mid-cycle opportunity in front of us remains strong.”

“Our balance sheet gives us the flexibility to support the business through the cycle,” said David Black, Chief Financial Officer of Malibu Boats, Inc. “The refinancing we completed in July extended our maturity to 2031, and we ended the quarter with approximately $213.5 million available of liquidity. Our cash flow for the quarter reflected an uptick in normal seasonal working capital, which we expect to reverse as the year progresses. With our $70 million share repurchase authorization in place, we will remain balanced and disciplined in allocating capital as we execute against our strategy.”

Exhibit 99.1

Steve Menneto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Malibu Boats, Inc., commented, "Fiscal 2026 demonstrated the power of our strategic execution. We delivered a strong finish to the year, driven by better than expected net sales, disciplined cost management, dealer network optimization, and the successful integration of Saxdor in our first four months with the business. We also invested meaningfully in innovation as our Model Year 2026 lineup added eleven new models across the portfolio that brought new features as well as value to our product line. The Saxdor integration is progressing well, with the completion of our first domestically-built Saxdor boats at our Fort Pierce, Florida facility expected in the first half of fiscal 2027. While we're seeing early signs of stabilization across the industry, we are contending with macro disruptions that continue to pressure the payment buyer, which presents a near-term headwind to an inflection in the cycle. That said, we like how we're positioned relative to the industry heading into fiscal 2027 and expect to build on the momentum we established, while remaining intentional about our outlook until we see more durable evidence of a broader recovery."

David Black, Chief Financial Officer of Malibu Boats, Inc., added, "We closed the year with a strong balance sheet and began our new fiscal year with the completion of our credit agreement refinancing, which extends our maturity through 2031 and gives us added liquidity and flexibility. Our leverage remains well below our stated maximum target, even after financing the Saxdor acquisition. While we chose to pause our open market purchases during our lender negotiations, the Board authorized a new $70 million share repurchase program for fiscal 2027 in June, and we closed our refinancing in July, underscoring our confidence in the business and our commitment to returning capital to shareholders. With that flexibility now in place, we remain opportunistic on capital allocation and are well positioned to keep investing in the business as we move through fiscal 2027."
