“10-K Item 1A: 'Some components ... are available from a sole supplier or a limited number of suppliers.'”
“10-K Item 1: 'Our top ten dealers represented 42.8%, 40.4% and 41.1%, of our net sales for fiscal year 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'We currently purchase engines from General Motors LLC, or General Motors, that we then prepare for marine use for certain Malibu, Axis and Cobalt boats.'”
“10-K Item 1: 'Sales to our dealers under common control of OneWater Marine, Inc. represented approximately 24.7%, 23.7% and 17.2% of consolidated net sales in fiscal years 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively'”
Malibu Boats discloses concentration risk across suppliers and dealers that compounds in a few places. On the supply side, some components are available from a sole supplier or a limited number of suppliers, a high-share dependency that could constrain production if disrupted, and the company separately purchases engines from General Motors for use across certain Malibu, Axis, and Cobalt boats, a medium-share supplier dependency layered on top of the broader sole-source risk. On the distribution side, the company's top ten dealers represented approximately 42.8% of net sales in fiscal 2025, up from 40.4% in fiscal 2024 and 41.1% in fiscal 2023 — a medium-share dependency on a relatively narrow dealer network. Within that group, dealers under common control of OneWater Marine, Inc. represented approximately 24.7% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025, up from 23.7% in fiscal 2024 and 17.2% in fiscal 2023 — a low-share but rising single-dealer-group dependency. The combination of a concentrated dealer base, with one dealer group's share climbing steadily, alongside supplier concentration in both components generally and General Motors specifically, means disruptions on either the sell-in or sell-through side of the business would touch a meaningful share of results.
