Our product, our dealers and our leadership of Malibu continue to set us apart from all our competitors.

Exhibit 99.1
Lower retail inventory levels fueled demand in fiscal year 2017 and these healthy levels continue to fuel demand in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The U.S. continues to more than offset weakness internationally as a result of oil and gas in Canada and currency issues in the rest of the world. On a positive note, we continue to believe the decrease in retail sales over the previous two or three years has abated and we are now showing recovery at the retail level which we believe will lead to recovery at the wholesale level.
Mr. Springer continued, “Our new product has been anticipated and now is being received very well. The 23 LSV, the performance sports boat segment’s best seller in history and every single year for the last eight years is new and will be a strong addition for Malibu. We were able to keep pricing at $79,995 on the 21 VLX introduced last year. The 21 VLX was a very high demand boat last year and retaining the pricing at the first-year introduction price point will be impactful for fiscal year 2018. Another new Malibu will be introduced for the first time in November. For Axis this year, the T22 and the A24 are both new boats we believe will perform very well. In addition, the patented, innovative Power Wedge 2 is now available on every Axis model.
Fiscal year 2017 was a record year, the best in Malibu's history on our above referenced financial and operational metrics as well as driving considerable market share gains. We have worked hard and positioned ourselves well to be able to drive increased performance in our business and are planning for another strong year in fiscal 2018.”

Comparison of the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2017 to the Fourth Quarter Ended June 30, 2016
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $8.4 million, or 12.6%, to $75.1 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. Included in net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were net sales of $5.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, attributable to our Australian business. Unit volume for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased 82 units, or 8.9%, to 1,004 units compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in units was primarily driven by demand for our new models such as the Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX and 22 and 24 MXZs. Net sales per unit increased 3.4% to $74,807 per unit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily driven by year over year price increases, a mix shift from Axis to Malibu and lower discount activity, offset by higher rebate expense associated with our new rebate program for model year 2017. Net sales per unit in the U.S., excluding sales to our Australian operations, increased 3.2% to $75,048 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $6.2 million, or 12.7%, to $55.1 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in cost of sales was driven primarily by increased volumes and higher material content and labor hours driven by the mix shift from Axis to Malibu. Included in cost of sales were $0.1 million in costs related to our engines vertical integration initiative.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $2.2 million, or 12.4%, to $20.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in gross profit resulted primarily from increased volumes. Gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 26.7%.

Exhibit 99.1
Selling and marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased 52.8% to $2.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the timing of sponsorship events and photo shoots. As a percentage of sales, selling and marketing expenses increased 80 basis points from 2.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 to 3.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
General and administrative expense increased $1.3 million, or 16.2%, to $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in general and administrative expenses was driven in part by an increase in acquisition related expenses tied to our acquisition of Cobalt Boats, LLC (“Cobalt”) on July 6, 2017, product development activities in connection with our engines vertical integration initiative, and higher incentive compensation offset by a decrease in legal expenses due to the prior year charge of $3.3 million related to a jury verdict rendered against us in litigation with Marine Power Holding, LLC ("Marine Power") and prior year legal expenses attributable to the MasterCraft Boat Company, LLC ("Mastercraft") litigation which was settled on May 2, 2017.
Operating income for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 increased to $8.0 million from operating income of $7.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. Net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 increased 151.0% to $10.3 million and net income margin increased to 13.7% from 6.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016. The increase in net income was primarily due to a decrease of $8.1 million in our tax receivable agreement liability related to tax legislation enacted during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 which lowered the tax rate used to estimate the future tax benefit expected to be realized by us on increased tax basis from previous sales and exchanges of units ("LLC Units") in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (the "LLC") by the pre-IPO owners. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 increased 14.4% to $15.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 20.6% from 20.3% in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016.
Comparison of the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2017 to the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2016
Net sales for fiscal year 2017 increased $29.0 million, or 11.5%, to $281.9 million, compared to fiscal year 2016. Included in net sales for fiscal years 2017 and 2016 were net sales of $23.0 million and $20.8 million, respectively, attributable to our Australian business. Unit volume for fiscal year 2017 increased 246 units, or 6.9%, to 3,815 units compared to fiscal year 2016. The increase in units was primarily driven by demand for our new models such as the Malibu Wakesetter 21 VLX and 22 and 24 MXZs and optional features. Net sales per unit for fiscal year 2017 increased 4.3% to $73,902 compared to fiscal year 2016, primarily driven by year over year price increases, a mix shift from Axis to Malibu, and lower discount activity, offset by higher rebate expense associated with our new rebate program for model year 2017. Net sales per unit in the U.S., excluding sales to our Australian operations, increased 3.6% to $73,878 for fiscal year 2017 as compared to fiscal year 2016.
Cost of sales for fiscal year 2017 increased $20.8 million, or 11.1%, to $206.9 million compared to fiscal year 2016. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by increased volumes, higher material content and labor hours driven by the mix shift from Axis to Malibu as well as higher warranty expense. Included in cost of sales were $0.3 million in costs related to our engines vertical integration initiative.
Gross profit for fiscal year 2017 increased $8.2 million, or 12.3%, compared to fiscal year 2016. The increase in gross profit resulted primarily from higher volumes. Gross margin for fiscal year 2017 increased 20 basis points to 26.6% compared to fiscal year 2016 due primarily to lower material cost margin, offset partially by higher labor and warranty expenses.
Selling and marketing expense for fiscal year 2017 increased $1.1 million, or 15.3%, to $8.6 million compared to fiscal year 2016 primarily due to increased payroll, commissions and related costs attributable to additional headcount. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expense increased 10 basis points from 3.0% for fiscal year 2016 to 3.1% for fiscal year 2017. General and administrative expense for fiscal year 2017 increased $3.5 million, or 16.6%, to $24.8 million compared to fiscal year 2016. The increase in general and administrative expenses was driven in part by an increase in acquisition related expenses tied to our acquisition of Cobalt on July 6, 2017, product development activities in connection with our engines vertical integration initiative, increased legal expenses for our Mastercraft litigation which was settled in the fourth quarter in fiscal year 2017, and higher incentive compensation, offset by a $1.1 million reduction in the Marine Power litigation judgment following a

court verdict in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 and lower stock compensation expense associated, in part, with share-based equity awards granted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016.
Operating income for fiscal year 2017 increased to $39.4 million from operating income of $35.9 million for fiscal year 2016. Net income for fiscal year 2017 increased 53.1% to $31.1 million, and net income margin increased to 11.0% from 8.0% for fiscal year 2016. The increase in net income was primarily due to a decrease of $8.1 million in our tax receivable agreement liability related to tax legislation enacted during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 which lowered the tax rate used to estimate the future tax benefit expected to be realized by us on increased tax basis from previous sales and exchanges of LLC Units by the pre-IPO owners. Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2017 increased 15.5% to $55.7 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 19.8% from 19.1% for fiscal year 2016.

Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). Forward-looking statements can be identified by such words and phrases as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “continue” and similar expressions, comparable terminology or the negative thereof, and includes the statement in this press release regarding the expected demand and acceptance for our new model year 2018 offerings.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: the successful integration of Cobalt into our business, general industry, economic and business conditions, demand for our products, the success of our engines integration strategy, changes in consumer preferences, competition within our industry, our reliance on our network of independent dealers, our ability to manage our manufacturing levels and our large fixed cost base, the successful introduction of our new products, and other factors affecting us detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these risks and uncertainties are outside our control, and there may be other risks and uncertainties which we do not currently anticipate because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation (and we expressly disclaim any obligation) to update or supplement any forward-looking statements that may become untrue because of subsequent events, whether because of new information, future events, changes in

assumptions or otherwise. Comparison of results for current and prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

Exhibit 99.1
Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes the following financial measures defined as non-GAAP financial measures by the SEC: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income and Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income per Share. These measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historical costs of depreciable assets. Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should also not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computations of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash, non-recurring or non-operating expenses, including certain professional fees, litigation related expenses, acquisition related expenses, non-cash compensation expense, expenses related to our engine development initiative and adjustments to our tax receivable agreement liability. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin allow investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance and compare our results of operations from period to period on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of core operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assist in highlighting trends in our operating results without regard to our financing methods, capital structures, and non-recurring or non-operating expenses. We exclude the items listed above from net income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures, the methods by which assets were acquired and other factors.
We define Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income as net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. (i) excluding income tax expense, (ii) excluding the effect of non-recurring or non-cash items, (iii) assuming the exchange of all LLC Units into shares of Class A Common Stock, which results in the elimination of non-controlling interest in the LLC, and (iv) reflecting an adjustment for income tax expense on fully distributed net income before income taxes at our estimated effective income tax rate. Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure because it represents net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc., before non-recurring or non-cash items and the effects of non-controlling interests in the LLC. We use Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period that, when viewed in combination with our results prepared in accordance with GAAP, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than GAAP measures alone. We believe Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income assists our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our net income on a consistent basis from period to period because it removes non-cash or non-recurring items, and eliminates the variability of non-controlling interest as a result of member owner exchanges of LLC Units into shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, because Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is susceptible to varying calculations, the Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income measures, as presented in this release, may differ from and may, therefore, not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
A reconciliation of our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and of our net income attributable to Malibu Boats, Inc. to Adjusted Fully Distributed Net Income is provided under "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures".
