Insights

MarineMax renews a sizable $100 million buyback mainly to offset equity dilution.

MarineMax has authorized a new stock repurchase plan of up to $100 million through March 2028, replacing a prior program of the same size that ran through March 2026. Under the prior plan, the company had repurchased about 1.4 million shares by March 3, 2026.

The stated intent is to mitigate dilution from restricted stock, with repurchased shares potentially reserved for reissue under employee benefit plans and other corporate uses. Repurchases can occur via open-market purchases or privately negotiated block transactions, depending on stock price, market conditions, alternative investments, and cash availability.

With 22,027,414 shares outstanding as of March 3, 2026, the economic impact will depend on how much of the authorization is ultimately used and at what prices. Actual execution details will emerge over time through future disclosures.

MarineMax Announces New Stock Repurchase Plan

OLDSMAR, Florida, March 4, 2026 – MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO) (“MarineMax” or the “Company”), the world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer, marina operator and superyacht services company, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a new stock repurchase plan. Under the new plan, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock beginning today through March 2028. This plan replaces the March 2024 Plan (the “2024 Plan”), which authorized MarineMax to purchase up to $100 million of its common stock through March 2026. Approximately 1.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock had been repurchased under the 2024 Plan as of March 3, 2026.

The new plan allows MarineMax to purchase common stock from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated block purchase transactions. The Company intends to repurchase shares to mitigate the dilutive effect of restricted stock, and shares repurchased may be reserved for later reissue in connection with employee benefit plans and other general corporate purposes. The number of shares purchased and the timing of any purchases is based upon a number of factors, including the price and availability of the Company’s stock, general market conditions, the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company from time to time, and the availability of cash.

As of March 3, 2026, the Company had 22,027,414 shares of common stock outstanding.
