(Positive)
Tags

NextBoat (NYSE American:NXB) reported fiscal Q2 2026 revenue of $59.1 million, up 88.4% year-over-year, driven by contributions from the Apex Marine and Bellhart acquisitions, higher floor plan capacity, and expansion of its Off The Hook and Autograph Yacht Group broker networks. The company sold a record 255 boats, with pre-owned boat sales up 104.4% and transaction volume up about 138%.

Q2 gross profit rose 100.1% to $9.5 million, with margin improving to 16.1% from 15.2%. However, higher operating costs and interest led to a net loss of $2.1 million versus prior-year net income of $0.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $0.8 million, roughly flat year-over-year. For full-year 2026, NextBoat maintained revenue guidance of $165–$170 million. Total assets increased to $100.5 million, while total liabilities rose to $88.4 million, including floor plan notes payable of $51.6 million.

News Explained

June 30 cash was $7,737,601 versus $12,428,774 at year-end, while the higher share count mechanically lowers existing holders’ ownership percentages.

The fiscal second-quarter results release reports the period ended June 30, 2026, with 25,084,128 shares issued and outstanding versus 24,020,000 at December 31, 2025, so existing holders’ percentage ownership is lower absent offsetting changes.

The supplied dilution definition describes this as a mechanical reduction in an existing holder’s ownership percentage when additional shares increase the total share count; the release does not quantify any holder-specific change.

The balance sheet reports cash and equivalents of $7,737,601 on June 30, 2026, versus $12,428,774 at December 31, 2025.

The latest supplied Q1 fundamentals show $5,330,457 of cash and equivalents and $20,867,206 of operating cash outflow; that Q1 cash balance equals 23 days of the last reported operating cash use.

The six-month adjusted EBITDA measure was a loss of $540,793, versus income of $1,139,386 for the comparable 2025 period.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, floor plan financing, non-gaap financial measures, share-based compensation
4 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA1 of $0.8 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
floor plan financing financial
"higher insurance costs related to increased inventory levels under floorplan financing arrangements"
A short-term loan arrangement that lets a retailer or dealer buy inventory — often vehicles, appliances, or other high-cost goods — with the items themselves serving as collateral; the lender pays the supplier and the dealer repays the loan as each item sells. Investors care because this financing shapes a seller’s cash flow and profit margins like a running credit line: tighter terms, higher interest, or repossessions can quickly stress a business’s liquidity and signal increased financial risk.
non-gaap financial measures financial
"These non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined below"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
share-based compensation financial
"the Company recognized share-based compensation of $1.7 million"
Share-based compensation is when a company pays employees, executives or directors with its own stock or rights to buy stock instead of, or in addition to, cash. Think of it like receiving store gift cards instead of extra paycheck — it can motivate staff to boost the company’s value, but it also increases the number of shares outstanding and can shrink each existing owner’s slice of profits and voting power. Investors watch it because it affects reported earnings, share count and the alignment between management and shareholders.

Second quarter 2026 revenue increased 88.4% year-over-year to a record $59.1 million

Record number of units transacted, 138% year-over-year increase

WILMINGTON, NC / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2026 / NextBoat Inc. (NYSE American:NXB) ("NextBoat" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated, technology-driven marine marketplace and one of the largest buyers and sellers of used boats in the United States, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

2026 Second Quarter Highlights

  • Revenue increased 88.4% to $59.1 million compared to $31.3 million in the second quarter of 2025

  • Pre-owned boat sales increased 104.4% compared to the second quarter of 2025

  • Sold 255 boats during the second quarter, a Company record

  • Gross profit increased 100.1% to $9.5 million compared to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2025

  • Expanded the Company's broker network to 111 brokers

  • Advanced strategic partnership with MarineMax, Inc. as NextBoat's preferred wholesale and trade-in partner

  • Executed 2 strategic acquisitions

  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $0.8 million

"We achieved record revenue of $59.1 million, expanded our national broker network, executed two acquisitions and continued to build out our infrastructure. We are not simply focused on selling more boats. We are focused on increasing the number of transactions we can process, increasing the revenue we generate from each transaction, and increasing the proportion of our revenue that comes from higher-margin businesses. That is the opportunity we see ahead," said Brian John, Chief Executive Officer of NextBoat.

"Transaction volume was up approximately 138% year-over-year, and our team grew right alongside it - our closing team tripled and our organization grew about 42% year-over-year to build the machine that makes this possible. That's not incremental progress - that's a company hitting its stride," added Blake Phillips, Chief Operating Officer of NextBoat.

Second Quarter 2026 Results

Overall, revenue increased by $27.7 million, or 88.4%, to $59.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, from $31.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the contribution of the Apex Marine and Bellhart businesses acquired during the quarter, an increase in our floor plan limit that supported higher inventory utilization throughout the period, and the continued expansion of our broker network at Off The Hook and our premier brokerage division, Autograph Yacht Group. These factors contributed to an increase in the number of pre-owned boats sold and brokerage deals closed.

Gross profit increased by $4.8 million, or 100.1%, to $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue was 16.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to 15.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by the higher-margin service, brokerage and finance revenue added through the Apex Marine and Bellhart acquisitions.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses consist primarily of insurance, utilities, and other customary operating expenses. SG&A increased $1.0 million, or 259.7%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the operating cost base of the Apex Marine and Bellhart businesses acquired during the quarter, higher indirect marketing expenses, and higher insurance costs related to increased inventory levels under floorplan financing arrangements, each in line with the Company's planned business expansion for 2026.

Salaries and wages expense increased $3.6 million, or 127.8%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Leading into and following our initial public offering, salaries and wages increased as we aligned our compensation with public-company market benchmarks and enhanced retention packages to ensure we can attract, motivate, and retain the talent required to deliver long-term shareholder value, and as we added the employee base of the businesses acquired during the quarter. Further, the Company recognized share-based compensation of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026. These equity awards have several vesting conditions including service-based and performance-based requirements and vest between one and five years.

Interest expense, net increased $0.6 million, or 109.6%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, driven primarily by higher average floor plan borrowings outstanding during the quarter and by debt assumed in the acquisitions and debt incurred to facilitate the Apex Marine and Bellhart transactions.

The Company recorded a net loss of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to net income of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA1 was an income of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to income of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a slight increase less than $0.1 million.

Fiscal 2026 Guidance

For full year 2026, the Company maintains its revenue guidance in a range of $165 million to $170 million.
