Overview
We believe that we are one of the largest and fastest-growing marine retailers inthe United States with 100 retail locations, 12 distribution centers/warehouses and multiple online marketplaces as ofMarch 31, 2023 . Our retail locations are located in highly attractive markets throughout the Southeast,Gulf Coast , Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, many of which are in top twenty states for marine retail expenditures. We believe that we are a market leader by volume in sales of premium boats in 13 of the markets in which we operate. Additionally, the recent acquisitions ofT-H Marine Supplies, LLC ("T-H Marine") andOcean Bio-Chem have significantly expanded our sales of marine-related parts and accessories. The combination of our significant scale, diverse inventory, access to premium boat brands, access to a broad array of parts and accessories, and meaningful group brand equity enables us to provide a consistently professional experience as reflected in the number of our repeat customers and Dealership same-store sales growth. EffectiveAugust 9, 2022 , our reportable segments changed as a result of the Company's acquisition ofOcean Bio-Chem , which changed management's reporting structure and operating activities. We now report our operations through two reportable segments: Dealerships and Distribution. As ofMarch 31, 2023 , the Dealerships segment includes operations of 100 dealerships in 16 states includingFlorida ,Texas ,Alabama andGeorgia , among others, and represents approximately 91% and 90% of revenues for the three and six months endedMarch 31, 2023 , respectively. The Dealership segment engages in the sale of new and pre-owned boats, arranges financing and insurance products, performs repairs and maintenance services, offers marine-related parts and accessories and offers slip and storage accommodations in certain locations. In fiscal year 2022, we sold over 10,500 new and pre-owned boats, many of which were sold to customers who had a trade-in or with whom we otherwise had established relationships. The combination of our significant scale, diverse inventory and revenue streams, access to premium boat brands and meaningful brand equity enables us to provide a consistently professional experience as reflected by the number of our repeat customers and Dealership same-store sales growth. As ofMarch 31, 2023 , the Distribution segment includes the activity of three of our fully-owned businesses, PartsVu,Ocean Bio-Chem and T-H Marine and its subsidiaries, which together operate 12 distribution centers/warehouses inAlabama ,Florida ,Texas ,Oklahoma ,Indiana ,Tennessee andIllinois and represents approximately 9% and 10% of revenues for the three and six months endedMarch 31, 2023 , respectively. The Distribution segment engages in the manufacturing, assembly and distribution of primarily marine-related products for sale to distributors, big box retailers, online retailers and direct to consumers. We offer a wide array of branded parts and accessories including jack plates, rigging parts, plumbing components, LED lighting, storage systems, and appearance, cleaning, and maintenance products for the marine and ancillary industries. All revenue for the Distribution segment is reported in service, parts & other in our consolidated statements of operations. We were formed in 2014 asOneWater LLC through the combination ofSingleton Marine and Legendary Marine, which created a marine retail platform that collectively owned and operated 19 dealerships. Since the combination in 2014, we have acquired a total of 79 additional dealerships, 12 distribution centers/warehouses and multiple online marketplaces through 32 acquisitions. Our current portfolio as ofMarch 31, 2023 consists of multiple brands which are recognized on a local, regional or national basis. Because of this, we believe we are one of the largest and fastest-growing marine retailers inthe United States based on number of dealerships and total boats sold. While we have opportunistically opened new dealerships in select markets, or launched additional parts and accessory products, we believe that it is generally more effective economically and operationally to acquire existing businesses with experienced staff and established reputations. 26

The boat dealership market is highly fragmented, as evidenced by the over 4,000 boat dealers nationwide. Most competing boat retailers are operated by local business owners who own three or fewer stores; however, we do have other large competitors including MarineMax andBass Pro Shops . Despite our size, we comprise less than 3% of total industry sales. Our scale and business model allow us to leverage our extensive inventory to provide consumers with the ability to find a boat that matches their preferences (e.g., make, model, color, configuration and other options) and to deliver the boat within days while providing a personalized sales experience. In addition to boat sales, we also generate sales from related products including finance & insurance and service, parts and other sales. The recent acquisitions of T-H Marine andOcean Bio-Chem have significantly expanded our sales of marine parts and accessories. Our strategic growth in this area is also expected to materially expand our addressable market in the parts and accessories business. We are able to operate with a comparatively higher degree of profitability than other independent retailers because we allocate support resources across our broader base, focus on high margin service, parts and accessories, utilize floor plan financing and provide core back-office functions on a scale that many independent retailers are unable to match. We seek to be the leading marine retailer by total market share within each boating market and within the product segments in which we participate. To the extent that we are not, we will evaluate acquiring other local retailers in order to increase our sales, to add additional brands or to provide us with additional high-quality personnel.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and its related effects have, to date, positively impacted our sales as more customers desire to engage in outdoor recreational activities that can be enjoyed close to first or second homes, in a socially distanced manner. However, the COVID-19 pandemic also caused significant supply chain challenges as suppliers were faced with business closures and shipping delays. This led to an industry wide inventory shortage of boats, engines and certain marine parts. As ofMarch 31, 2023 , we have seen considerable improvements in the supply chain and believe we are returning to the more traditional seasonal cycles of our business. The ultimate impact of a resurgence of COVID-19 or another global pandemic and its related effects remains uncertain and depends on various factors including consumer demand, our ability to safely operate locations and the existence and extent of a prolonged economic downturn.
Trends and Other Factors Impacting Our Performance
Acquisitions
We are a highly acquisitive company. Since the combination ofSingleton Marine and Legendary Marine in 2014, we have acquired 79 additional dealerships through 27 dealer group acquisitions. Our team remains focused on expanding our dealership growth in regions with strong boating cultures, enhancing the customer experience and generating value for our shareholders. In addition to dealership acquisitions, the Company has strategically acquired parts and accessories companies as part of our growth and diversification strategy. We have acquired 12 distribution centers and warehouses through the acquisition of 5 parts and accessories companies. We plan to continue to strategically evaluate and complete acquisitions moving forward. We have an extensive acquisition track record within the marine retail industry and believe we have developed a reputation for treating sellers and their staff in an honest and fair manner. We typically retain the management team and name of the acquired group. We believe this practice preserves the acquired dealer's customer relationships and goodwill in the local marketplace. We believe our reputation and scale have positioned us as a buyer of choice for marine retailers who want to sell their businesses. Our strategy is to acquire dealerships at attractive EBITDA multiples and then grow same-store sales while benefitting from cost-reducing synergies. Historically, we have typically acquired dealerships for less than 4.0x EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis and believe that we will be able to continue to make attractive acquisitions within this range. With the expansion of our Distribution segment, we look to acquire parts and accessories manufacturing and distribution companies within a range of 5.0x - 10.0x EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis, depending on the size of the business. General Economic Conditions General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties, including the adverse economic effects of a global pandemic, supply chain constraints, or a prolonged economic downturn, could reduce consumer spending and adversely affect our business. Consumer spending on discretionary goods may also decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, higher interest rates or higher fuel costs, even if prevailing economic conditions are otherwise favorable. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate dealerships, particularly in the Southeast, can have a major impact on our overall results of operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing, inclement weather such as hurricanes and other storms, environmental conditions, and global public health concerns and events could adversely affect our operations in certain markets and in certain periods. Any extended period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence is likely to have a negative effect on our business. Our business was significantly impacted during the recessionary period that began in 2007. This period of weakness in consumer spending and depressed economic conditions had a substantial negative effect on our operating results. In response to these conditions we reduced our inventory purchases, closed certain dealerships and reduced headcount. Additionally, in an effort to counteract the downturn, we increased our focus on pre-owned sales, parts and repair services, and finance & insurance services. As a result, we surpassed our pre-recession sales levels in less than 24 months. While we believe the measures we took significantly reduced the impact of the downturn on the business, we cannot guarantee similar results in the event of a future downturn. Additionally, we cannot predict the timing or length of unfavorable economic or industry conditions, including a downturn as a result of pandemics, rising interest rates, inflation, or the extent to which they could adversely affect our operating results. 27

Although past economic conditions have adversely affected our operating results, we believe we are capable of responding in a manner that allows us to substantially outperform the industry and gain market share. We believe our ability to capture such market share enables us to align our retail strategies with the desires of customers. We expect our core strengths, including retail and acquisition strategies, will allow us to capitalize on growth opportunities as they occur, despite market conditions.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and
estimates from the information provided in the Company's Annual Report for the
year ended
How We Evaluate Our Operations
Revenue
We have a diversified revenue profile that is comprised of new boat sales, pre-owned boat sales, finance & insurance products, repair and maintenance services, and parts and accessories. During different phases of the economic cycle, consumer behavior may shift away from new boats; however, we are well-positioned to generate revenue from pre-owned boats, repair and maintenance services, and parts and accessories, which have all historically increased during periods of economic uncertainty. We generate pre-owned sales from boats traded-in for new and pre-owned boats, boats purchased from consumers, brokerage transactions, consignment sales and wholesale sales. We continue to focus on all aspects of our business including non-boat sales of finance & insurance products, repair and maintenance services, and parts and accessories. Although non-boat sales contributed 17.9% and 17.2% to revenue in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 19.3% and 15.8% to revenue in the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due to the higher gross margin on these product and service lines, non-boat sales contributed 33.6% and 28.9% to gross profit in the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 33.7% and 27.9% to gross profit in the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We have also diversified our business across geographies, dealership types (e.g., fresh water and salt water), and product offerings (e.g., focus on parts and accessories business through PartsVu, T-H Marine andOcean Bio-Chem ) in order to reduce the effects of seasonality and cyclicality of our business. In addition to seasonality, revenue and operating results may also be significantly affected by quarter-to-quarter changes in economic conditions, manufacturer incentive programs, adverse weather conditions and other developments outside of our control.
Gross Profit
We calculate gross profit as revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales consists of actual amounts paid for products, costs of services (primarily labor), transportation costs from manufacturers to our dealerships and vendor consideration. Gross profit excludes the majority of depreciation and amortization, which is presented separately in our consolidated statements of operations. Gross Profit Margin Our overall gross profit margin varies with our revenue mix. Sales of new and pre-owned boats, which have comparable margins, generally result in a lower gross profit margin than our non-boat sales. As a result, when revenue from non-boat sales increases as a percentage of total revenue, we expect our overall gross profit margin to increase.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and incentive-based compensation, advertising, rent, insurance, utilities, and other customary operating expenses. A portion of our cost structure is variable (such as sales commissions and incentive compensation), or controllable (such as advertising), which we believe allows us to adapt to changes in the retail environment over the long term. We typically evaluate our variable expenses, selling expenses and all other selling, general, and administrative expenses in the aggregate as a percentage of total revenue.
Dealership Same-Store Sales
We assess the organic growth of our Dealership segment revenue on a same-store basis. We believe that our assessment on a same-store basis represents an important indicator of comparative financial results and provides relevant information to assess our performance. New and acquired dealerships become eligible for inclusion in the comparable dealership base at the end of the dealership's thirteenth month of operations under our ownership and revenues are only included for identical months in the same-store base periods. Dealerships relocated within an existing market remain in the comparable dealership base for all periods. Additionally, amounts related to closed dealerships are excluded from each comparative base period. Because Dealership same-store sales may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. 28

Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense - other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and other (income) expense, further adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as the change in fair value of contingent consideration, loss on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs. See ''-Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measure'' for more information and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Summary of Acquisitions
The comparability of our results of operations between the periods discussed below is naturally affected by the acquisitions we have completed during such periods. We are also continuously evaluating and pursuing acquisitions on an ongoing basis, and such acquisitions, if completed, will continue to impact the comparability of our financial results. While we expect continued growth and strategic acquisitions in the future, our acquisitions may have materially different characteristics than our historical results, and such differences in economics may impact the comparability of our future results of operations to our historical results.

Other Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Future Results of Operations to Our
Historical Results of Operations
Our historical financial results discussed below may not be comparable to our
future financial results for the reasons described below.
•OneWater Inc. is subject toU.S. federal, state and local income taxes as a corporation. Our accounting predecessor,OneWater LLC , was and is treated as a partnership forU.S. federal income tax purposes, and as such, was generally not subject toU.S. federal income tax at the entity level. Rather, the tax liability with respect to its taxable income is passed through to its members. Accordingly, the financial data attributable to our predecessor contains no provision forU.S. federal income taxes or income taxes in any state or locality.OneWater Inc.'s effective tax rates were 22.8% and 21.2% for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 29

•As we further implement controls, processes and infrastructure applicable to companies with publicly traded equity securities, it is likely that we will incur additional selling, general, and administrative expenses relative to historical periods. Our future results will depend on our ability to efficiently manage our combined operations and execute our business strategy.

Revenue increased due to Dealership same-store sales growth of 11% as well as acquisition growth. The overall revenue increase is primarily attributable to a$65.3 million increase in new boat sales and a$17.0 million increase in service, parts and other sales for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . 30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
New Boat Sales
New boat sales increased by$65.3 million , or 22.5%, to$355.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$290.0 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in both unit sales and the average sales price driven by Dealership same-store sales growth and acquisition growth.
Pre-owned Boat Sales
Pre-owned boat sales were flat, decreasing by$0.5 million , or 0.6%, to$75.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$75.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . We sell a wide range of brands and sizes of pre-owned boats under different types of sales arrangements (e.g., trade-ins, brokerage, consigned and wholesale), which causes periodic and seasonal fluctuations in the average sales price. The decrease in pre-owned boat sales was primarily attributable to a decrease in consignment sales, offset by an increase in pre-owned boat sales from trade-ins.
Finance & Insurance Income
We generate revenue from arranging finance & insurance products, including financing, insurance and extended warranty contracts, to customers through various third-party financial institutions and insurance companies. Finance & insurance income increased by$0.4 million , or 2.5%, to$15.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$14.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase was primarily a result of the increase in new boat sales. We remain very focused on improving sales of finance & insurance products throughout our dealer network and implementing best practices at acquired dealer groups and existing dealerships. Finance & insurance income is recorded net of related fees, including fees charged back due to any early cancellation of loan or insurance contracts by a customer. Since finance & insurance income is fee-based, we do not incur any related cost of sale.
Service, Parts & Other Sales
Service, parts & other sales increased by$17.0 million , or 27.8%, to$78.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$61.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in service, parts & other sales is primarily due to the contributions from our recently acquired parts and accessories businesses, includingOcean Bio Chem , as well as increases across the board in labor, parts, fuel and storage sales, driven by ancillary sales generated from our increase in new boat sales at our dealerships. Total revenue for the Distribution segment was$46.0 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 .
Gross Profit
Overall, gross profit increased by$4.2 million , or 2.9%, to$146.7 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$142.5 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This increase was primarily due to the impact of the 2023 Acquisitions and 2022 Acquisitions, the Company's focus on dynamic pricing and the overall increase in Dealership same-store sales. Overall gross margins decreased 420 basis points to 28.0% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from 32.2% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 due to the factors noted below. New Boat Gross Profit New boat gross profit decreased by$1.2 million , or 1.4%, to$80.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$81.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in new boat gross profit margin. New boat gross profit margin was 22.6% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared to 28.1% in the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in new boat gross profit and gross profit margin is due primarily to a return of industry seasonality; however, new boat gross profit margins for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 remained above pre-pandemic margins.
Pre-owned Boat Gross Profit
Pre-owned boat gross profit decreased by$2.7 million , or 13.5%, to$17.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$19.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in pre-owned boat gross profit was primarily driven by the decrease in pre-owned boat gross profit margin as a result of returning industry seasonality as well as a decrease in brokerage sales. Pre-owned boat gross profit margin was 22.8% and 26.2% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We sell a wide range of brands and sizes of pre-owned boats under different types of sales arrangements (e.g., trade-ins, brokerage, consignment and wholesale), which may cause periodic and seasonal fluctuations in pre-owned boat gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Finance & Insurance Gross Profit
Finance & insurance gross profit increased by$0.4 million , or 2.5%, to$15.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$14.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Finance & insurance income is fee-based revenue for which we do not recognize incremental cost of sales. 31

Service, Parts & Other Gross Profit
Service, parts & other gross profit increased by$7.6 million , or 29.0%, to$33.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$26.3 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Service, parts & other gross profit margin was 43.3% and 42.9% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the acquisitions in our Distribution segment as well as our Dealership same-store sales growth. Selling, General & Administrative Expenses Selling, general & administrative expenses increased by$14.7 million , or 19.5%, to$90.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$75.5 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This increase was primarily due to expenses incurred to support the overall increase in revenues and gross profit. Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was flat at 17.2% and 17.1% for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due primarily to increased marketing costs associated with increased boat show participation and higher costs associated with our service, parts & other business. This increase was offset by our ability to leverage our expense structure across the increase in Dealership same-store sales.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased$0.9 million , or 19.3%, to$5.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$4.7 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase in amortization of identifiable intangible assets, primarily attributable to the 2022 Acquisitions. Transaction Costs The decrease in transaction costs of$0.5 million , or 68.9%, to$0.2 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$0.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to a reduction in acquisition activity during the second quarter of the current year compared to the previous year.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
During the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 , we recognized a loss of$1.7 million related to updated forecasts and accretion of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023. Income from Operations Income from operations decreased$10.5 million , or 17.7%, to$48.9 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$59.4 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease was primarily attributable to the$14.7 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 , partially offset by a$4.2 million increase in gross profit during the same periods.
Interest Expense - Floor Plan
Interest expense - floor plan increased$4.4 million , or 422.1%, to$5.5 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$1.0 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Floor plan related interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in the average inventory for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 as well as an increase in interest rates. Interest Expense - Other Interest expense - other increased by$5.5 million , or 177.8%, to$8.6 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$3.1 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in interest expense - other was related to the increase in our long-term debt which was primarily used to fund certain 2022 acquisitions, as well as rising interest rates.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net changed by$0.3 million , or 271.6%, to$0.2 million of income for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$0.1 million of expense for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The change was primarily related to the exchange rates gains recognized during the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the losses recognized during three months endedMarch 31, 2022 .
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased$4.8 million , or 37.7%, to$8.0 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$12.8 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease was primarily attributable to the 36.5% decrease in income before income tax expense for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared toMarch 31, 2022 . 32

Overall revenue increased primarily due to acquisition growth, driven by a$61.5 million increase in new boat sales and a$49.3 million increase in service, parts and other sales for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 , as a result of the 2022 Acquisitions and 2023 Acquisitions, as well as an increase in new boat average sales price. 33

Table of Contents
New Boat Sales
New boat sales increased by$61.5 million , or 11.7%, to$587.7 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$526.2 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average sales price as well as a mild increase in unit sales.
Pre-owned Boat Sales
Pre-owned boat sales increased by$1.9 million , or 1.4%, to$131.2 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$129.3 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . We sell a wide range of brands and sizes of pre-owned boats under different types of sales arrangements (e.g., trade-ins, brokerage, consigned and wholesale), which causes periodic and seasonal fluctuations in the average sales price. The increase in pre-owned boat sales was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of units sold as well as growth in brokerage sales. Finance & Insurance Income We generate revenue from arranging finance & insurance products, including financing, insurance and extended warranty contracts, to customers through various third-party financial institutions and insurance companies. Finance & insurance income remained flat at$24.3 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022. We remain very focused on improving sales of finance & insurance products throughout our dealer network and implementing best practices at acquired dealer groups and existing dealerships. Finance & insurance income is recorded net of related fees, including fees charged back due to any early cancellation of loan or insurance contracts by a customer. Since finance & insurance income is fee-based, we do not incur any related cost of sale.
Service, Parts & Other Sales
Service, parts & other sales increased by$49.2 million , or 49.9%, to$147.9 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$98.6 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in service, parts & other sales is primarily due to the contributions from our recently acquired parts and accessories businesses, includingOcean Bio Chem , as well as increases across the board in labor, parts, fuel and storage sales, driven by ancillary sales generated from our increase in new and pre-owned boat sales at our dealerships. Total revenue for the Distribution segment was$85.9 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 . Gross Profit Overall, gross profit increased by$13.2 million , or 5.4%, to$256.7 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$243.5 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This increase was primarily due to the impact of the 2023 Acquisitions and 2022 Acquisitions and the Company's focus on dynamic pricing. Overall gross margins decreased 250 basis points to 28.8% for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from 31.3% for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 due to the factors noted below. New Boat Gross Profit New boat gross profit decreased by$4.3 million , or 3.0%, to$137.4 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$141.7 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in new boat gross profit margin. New boat gross profit margin was 23.4% for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared to 26.9% in the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in new boat gross profit and gross profit margin is due primarily to a returning of industry seasonality; however, new boat gross profit margins for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 remained well ahead of pre-pandemic margins.
Pre-owned Boat Gross Profit
Pre-owned boat gross profit decreased by$1.3 million , or 3.8%, to$32.7 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$34.0 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease in pre-owned boat gross profit was primarily driven by a decrease in consignment sales, partially offset by an increase in our brokerage sales. Pre-owned boat gross profit as a percentage of pre-owned boat revenue was 24.9% and 26.3% for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in pre-owned gross profit margin is due primarily to the returning of industry seasonality. We sell a wide range of brands and sizes of pre-owned boats under different types of sales arrangements (e.g., trade-ins, brokerage, consignment and wholesale), which may cause periodic and seasonal fluctuations in pre-owned boat gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
Finance & Insurance Gross Profit
Finance & insurance gross profit remained flat at
months ended
is fee-based revenue for which we do not recognize incremental cost of sales.

Table of Contents
Service, Parts & Other Gross Profit
Service, parts & other gross profit increased by$18.8 million , or 43.1%, to$62.3 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$43.6 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Service, parts & other gross profit margin was 42.2% and 44.2% for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of the acquisitions in our Distribution segment. The decrease in gross profit margin percentage was due to a shift in the revenue mix towards parts & accessories which has a lower margin percentage than service and other sales.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
Selling, general & administrative expenses increased by$33.4 million , or 24.8%, to$168.0 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 from$134.6 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . This increase was primarily due to expenses incurred to support the overall increase in revenues and gross profit. Selling, general & administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 18.9% from 17.3% for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to higher administrative expenses related to acquisitions as well as higher marketing expenses related to increased boat show activity during the current period.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased$4.9 million , or 75.0%, to$11.3 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$6.5 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to depreciation of acquired tangible assets and amortization of acquired intangible assets from the 2022 Acquisitions.
Transaction Costs
The decrease in transaction costs of$2.3 million , or 58.9%, to$1.6 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$3.8 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to a reduction in acquisition activity during the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared toMarch 31, 2022 .
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
During the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 , we recognized a loss of$0.3 million related to updated forecasts and accretion of contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions completed in fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023. Income from Operations Income from operations decreased$15.3 million , or 16.9%, to$75.4 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$90.7 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease was primarily attributable to the$33.4 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 , partially offset by a$13.2 million increase in gross profit and a$7.6 million decrease in the change in fair value of contingent consideration during the same periods.
Interest Expense - Floor Plan
Interest expense - floor plan increased$8.3 million , or 432.5%, to$10.3 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$1.9 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Floor plan related interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in the average inventory for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 as well as an increase in interest rates. Interest Expense - Other Interest expense - other increased by$11.6 million , or 249.9%, to$16.2 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$4.6 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The increase in interest expense - other was related to the increase in our long-term debt which was used to fund certain 2022 acquisitions as well as rising interest rates.
Other (Income) Expense, Net
Other (income) expense, net changed by$1.5 million , or 225.7%, to$0.8 million of income for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$0.7 million of expense for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The change was primarily related to proceeds from insurance as a result of Hurricane Ian and a$0.6 million reduction in expenses related to tax rate changes on our tax receivable agreement liability during the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . 35

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense decreased$6.3 million , or 35.8%, to$11.3 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$17.7 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease was primarily attributable to the 40.4% decrease in income before income tax expense for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared toMarch 31, 2022 , partially offset by an increase in our effective tax rate.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income decreased by$27.4 million to$38.5 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to$65.8 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease was primarily attributable to the$33.4 million increase in selling, general & administrative expenses, the$11.6 million increase in interest expense - other and the$8.3 million increase in interest expense - floor plan for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The decrease was partially offset by a$13.2 million increase in gross profit, a$7.6 million decrease in the change in fair value of contingent consideration, and a$6.3 million decrease in income tax expense for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared toMarch 31, 2022 .
Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measure
We view Adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense - other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and other (income) expense, further adjusted to eliminate the effects of items such as the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs. Our board of directors, management team and lenders use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance because it allows them to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of our capital structure (such as varying levels of interest expense), asset base (such as depreciation and amortization) and other items (such as the change in the fair value of contingent consideration, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and transaction costs) that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides useful information regarding the factors and trends affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure will provide useful information to investors and analysts in assessing our financial performance and results of operations across reporting periods by excluding items we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Net income (loss) is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA. Our non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You are encouraged to evaluate each of these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in such presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that we will not modify the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA in the future, and any such modification may be material. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility. 36

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the increase in gross profit for the three months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the three months endedMarch 31, 2022 .

The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA resulted primarily from the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the increase in gross profit for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Seasonality Our business, along with the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, and such seasonality varies by geographic market. With the exception ofFlorida , we generally realize significantly lower sales and higher levels of inventories, and related floor plan borrowings, in the quarterly periods endingDecember 31 andMarch 31 . Revenue generated from our dealerships inFlorida serves to offset generally lower winter revenue in our other states and enables us to maintain a more consistent revenue stream. The onset of the public boat and recreation shows in January stimulates boat sales and typically allows us to reduce our inventory levels and related floor plan borrowings throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. The impact of seasonality on our results of operations could be materially impacted based on the location of our acquisitions. For example, our operations could be substantially more seasonal if we acquire dealer groups that operate in colder regions ofthe United States . Our business is also subject to weather patterns, which may adversely affect our results of operations. For example, prolonged winter conditions, reduced rainfall levels or excessive rain, may limit access to boating locations or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for our products and services. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and prolonged winter conditions may lead to a shorter selling season in certain locations. Hurricanes and other storms could result in disruptions of our operations or damage to our boat inventories and facilities, as has been the case whenFlorida and other markets were affected by hurricanes. We believe our geographic diversity is likely to reduce the overall impact to us of adverse weather conditions in any one market area. Additionally, due to a global pandemic, our seasonal trends may also change as a result of, among other things, location closures, disruptions to the supply chain and inventory availability, manufacturer delays, and cancellation of boat shows. 37

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
OneWater Inc. is a holding company with no operations and is the sole managing member ofOneWater LLC .OneWater Inc's principal asset consists of common units ofOneWater LLC . Our earnings and cash flows and ability to meet our obligations under the A&R Credit Facility (as defined below), and any other debt obligations will depend on the cash flows resulting from the operations of our operating subsidiaries, and the payment of distributions by such subsidiaries. Our A&R Credit Facility and Inventory Financing Facility (described below) (together, the "Credit Facilities") contain certain restrictions on distributions or transfers from our operating subsidiaries to their members or unitholders, as applicable, as described in the summaries below under "-Debt Agreements-A&R Credit Facility" and "-Inventory Financing Facility." Accordingly, the operating results of our subsidiaries may not be sufficient for them to make distributions to us. As a result, our ability to make payments under the A&R Credit Facility and any other debt obligations or to declare dividends could be limited. Our cash needs are primarily for growth through acquisitions and working capital to support our operations, including new and pre-owned boat and related parts inventories and off-season liquidity. We routinely monitor our cash flow to determine the amount of cash available to complete acquisitions. We monitor our inventories, inventory aging and current market trends to determine our current and future inventory and related floorplan financing needs. Based on current facts and circumstances, we believe we will have adequate cash flow from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facilities and proceeds from any future public or private issuances of debt or equity to fund our current operations, to make share repurchases and to fund essential capital expenditures and acquisitions for the next twelve months and beyond. Cash needs for acquisitions have historically been financed with our Credit Facilities and cash generated from operations. Our ability to utilize the A&R Credit Facility to fund acquisitions depends upon Adjusted EBITDA and compliance with covenants of the A&R Credit Facility. Cash needs for inventory have historically been financed with our Inventory Financing Facility. Our ability to fund inventory purchases and operations depends on the collateral levels and our compliance with the covenants of the Inventory Financing Facility. As ofMarch 31, 2023 , we were in compliance with all covenants under the A&R Credit Facility and the Inventory Financing Facility.
We have no material off balance sheet arrangements, except for purchase
commitments under supply agreements entered into in the normal course of
business.

The$256.5 million decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to a$260.3 million decrease in cash used in acquisitions for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was$220.4 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of$355.3 million for the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . The$134.9 million decrease in financing cash flow was primarily attributable to a$210.0 million decrease in borrowings on long-term debt, partially offset by a$75.4 million increase in net borrowings on our Inventory Financing Facility for the six months endedMarch 31, 2023 as compared to the six months endedMarch 31, 2022 . 38

Share Repurchase Program
OnMarch 30, 2022 the Board authorized a share repurchase program of up to$50 million of outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made at any time or from time to time, without prior notice, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions at prevailing market prices, or such other means as will comply with applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Rule 10b5-1 and, to the extent practicable or advisable, Rule 10b-18 thereunder, and consistent with the Company's contractual limitations and other requirements. As ofMarch 31, 2023 the Company has repurchased and retired 73,487 shares at an average price of$26.28 per share. The Company has$48.1 million remaining under the share repurchase program. The Inflation Reduction Act, which was signed into law onAugust 2022 , imposes a 1%, non-deductible excise tax on certain repurchases of common stock that occur afterDecember 31, 2022 . We expect the excise tax to apply to our share repurchase program, but do not expect the tax to have a material effect on our business. Debt Agreements Credit Facility EffectiveJuly 22, 2020 , we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into the Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Incremental Amendment and the Second Incremental Amendment and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Facility") withTruist Bank and the other lenders party thereto.

To the extentOneWater LLC has available cash and subject to the terms of any current or future debt or other agreements, the OneWater LLC Agreement will requireOneWater LLC to make pro rata cash distributions to OneWater Unit Holders, includingOneWater Inc. , in an amount sufficient to allowOneWater Inc. to pay its taxes and to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We generally expectOneWater LLC to fund such distributions out of available cash. However, except in cases whereOneWater Inc. elects to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated early due to certain mergers or other changes of control orOneWater Inc. has available cash but fails to make payments when due, generallyOneWater Inc. may elect to defer payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement if it does not have available cash to satisfy its payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or if its contractual obligations limit its ability to make these payments. Any such deferred payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will accrue interest. In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any,OneWater Inc. realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In the case of such an acceleration, where applicable, we generally expect the accelerated payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement to be funded out of the proceeds of the change of control transaction giving rise to such acceleration.OneWater Inc. intends to account for any amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement in accordance with ASC Topic 450, Contingencies.
