事業および業績の動向
マスタークラフトのプレミアムライン「Xシリーズ」が最大の成長要因となりました。販売台数の増加、好ましい製品ミックス、規律ある価格設定、割引の縮小が、売上高とマージンの双方の拡大を支えました。新モデル3機種すべてが9月四半期中にフル生産へ移行する見込みです。
経営陣によると、スキー/ウェイクボードカテゴリーやパワーボート市場全般の縮小にもかかわらず、2026年度のマスタークラフトの小売販売台数は1桁台前半の増加となりました。また、ロバロはスポーツフィッシングカテゴリーの好調さを背景に、1桁台後半の小売成長を達成しました。
既存事業におけるディーラー在庫は前年比で約30%減少して年度を終え、在庫回転率はコロナ禍前の水準を上回りました。シャパラルとロバロも在庫削減と回転率向上を達成して年度を締めくくりました。経営陣は、販促の過熱感がより健全な水準に落ち着き、プレミアム顧客層の購買意欲も引き続き底堅いと述べています。
レクリエーション&スポーツフィッシングセグメントは、買収後の6週間の所有期間中に3,330万ドルの売上高と180万ドルの調整後EBITDAを計上しました。経営陣は、企業結合会計の影響や季節的要因、計画的な投資があるため、初期の収益性は同セグメントの長期的な収益力を反映していないと述べています。
同社は、ディーラー関係、製造、調達、製品技術全般にわたり統合によるシナジーを追求しています。シャパラルの設計・レイアウト能力とマスタークラフトのウェイク・サーフに関するノウハウを融合させるため、「シャパラル・サーフ(Chaparral Surf)」プラットフォームの生産を一時停止しています。
経営陣の見通し(ガイダンス)
マスタークラフトは決算期を12月期に変更します。今回のガイダンスは2026年7月から12月までの6カ月間の経過期間を対象としており、経営陣はこの期間を季節的に需要が減少する時期と説明しています。
| ガイダンス指標 | 2026年9月四半期 | 2026年7月〜12月経過期間 |
|---|---|---|
| 売上高 | 約1億4,700万ドル | 2億8,700万〜2億9,100万ドル |
| 調整後EBITDA | 約1,600万ドル | 2,900万〜3,200万ドル |
| 調整後EPS | 約0.40ドル | 0.66〜0.76ドル |
| 設備投資額 | — | 約900万ドル |
見通しでは、小売市場の需要が約5%〜10%減少することを前提としています。経営陣は生産の規律を維持し、卸売出荷量を小売需要に連動させるとともに、シャパラルとロバロの出荷量および平均販売価格を第4四半期末(Exit Rate)に近い水準で維持する計画です。
リスクと注目点
- 経営陣によると、小売市場の回復時期が後ずれしており、特にエントリーレベルのポンツーンボートやランナバウトカテゴリーで強い圧力がかかっています。
- 金利上昇、インフレ、不透明な経済情勢が低価格帯を志向する消費者の負担となり続けている一方で、プレミアム層およびコア顧客層は比較的堅調さを維持しています。
- 同社は、ポンツーンカテゴリーの足元の環境を反映し、クレスト(Crest)の特定の無形資産に関連して1,010万ドルの非現金減損損失を計上しました。
- 企業結合会計処理の影響により、計上されたシャパラルおよびロバロの収益性が押し下げられました。この6週間の実績には、棚卸資産のステップアップ評価に伴う費用260万ドルと減価償却費110万ドルが含まれています。
- 「シャパラル・サーフ」の生産は、プラットフォームの技術向上および顧客体験の強化を図るため、一時的に停止されています。
アナリストQ&Aの主なポイント
経営陣によると、買収後6週間の所有期間におけるシャパラルおよびロバロの報告ベースの売上総利益率は0.9%でしたが、棚卸資産のステップアップ評価の影響を除けば約9%になっていました。調整後EBITDAマージンは約5.5%であり、シナジーの進展や初期のブランド投資の吸収が進むまでは同水準で推移すると見込んでいます。
経過期間中、シャパラルとロバロの販売台数は第4四半期のランレートと同程度にとどまる見通しです。経営陣は、市場が一段と悪化しない限り、追加の流通在庫削減を追求するのではなく、卸売出荷を小売需要に適合させることが目的であると強調しました。
マリン・プロダクツ(Marine Products)との事業統合に関して、初期想定からの最大の変更点は小売の回復遅れであったと経営陣は述べました。一方で、獲得可能な最大市場(TAM)の拡大、価格帯の多角化、ならびにディーラー網、オペレーション、調達におけるシナジーの可能性に支えられ、戦略的妥当性に対する確信は高まっているとしています。
同社ではすでに一部のディーラーが、拡大された5ブランドのポートフォリオから新たなブランドの取り扱いを開始しています。また、統合チームは拠点間での製造ノウハウの共有や、購買シナジーの評価を進めています。

Thank you for standing by and welcome to the MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2026 Earnings Conference Call. Please be advised that today's call is being recorded.
[Operator Instructions]
I will now hand the conference over to Alec Harmon, Senior Director, Strategy and Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
Alec Harmon
Thank you, Rebecca, and welcome, everyone. Thank you for joining us today as we discuss the fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2026 performance of MasterCraft Boat Holdings. As a reminder, today's call is being webcast live and will also be archived on our website for future listening.
With me on this morning's call is Brad Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, and Scott Kent, Chief Financial Officer. Brad will begin with an overview of our operational performance. After that, Scott will discuss our financial performance. Brad will then offer some closing remarks before we open the call for questions.
Before we begin, we would like to remind participants that the information contained in this call is current only as of today, September 10, 2026. The company assumes no obligation to update any statements, including forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements and subject to the safe harbor disclaimer in today's press release.
Additionally, on this conference call, we will discuss non-GAAP measures that include or exclude items not indicative of our ongoing operations. For each non-GAAP measure, we will also provide the most directly comparable GAAP measure in today's press release, which will include a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to our GAAP results.
Before turning to our results, I would like to provide some important context for the quarter and year. On May 15, we completed our combination with Marine Products Corporation, welcoming the Chaparral and Robalo brands to the MasterCraft Boat Holdings or MCBH family. As a result, our fourth quarter and full year results include a partial 6-week contribution from these brands. To help frame the underlying performance of our business and for comparative purposes, we will speak to our full year results on both a total combined company basis and on a legacy basis.
In connection with the combination, we have also realigned our reportable segments. Our former MasterCraft segment is now our Performance and Wake segment. Our former Pontoon segment is now our Leisure segment, and the newly combined Chaparral and Robalo brands are reported within our Recreation and Sport Fishing segment.
As a reminder, unless otherwise noted, the following commentary is made on a continuing operations basis, and all references to specific quarters and periods will be on a fiscal basis. Because we are changing to a December fiscal year-end, today's outlook will cover the 6-month transition period from July 2026 through December 2026, which Scott will discuss in greater detail later in the call. With that, I will turn the call over to Brad.
Bradley Nelson
Thank you, Alec, and good morning, everyone. Fiscal 2026 was a defining year for MasterCraft Boat Holdings. Strong execution across our legacy business drove results to significantly outperform expectations despite a challenging macroeconomic and retail environment. We grew net sales, expanded adjusted EBITDA nearly 80%, a margin improvement of more than 500 basis points year-over-year, and completed the transformational combination with Chaparral and Robalo.
These results reflect the durability of our foundation and our disciplined execution against the priorities we established at the beginning of the year, which were aligning production with demand, strengthening dealer health, improving operational efficiency, and delivering differentiated innovation that resonates with dealers and consumers. Those actions positioned us to outperform the broader market while building an even stronger foundation for the future.
On a legacy basis, fiscal 2026 net sales were $315.6 million, and adjusted EBITDA was $43.8 million. These results exceeded the increased guidance we issued last quarter and demonstrate the earnings power of our legacy business in a challenging market. The MasterCraft brand was at the center of that success. Strong retail performance and the successful rollout of the next-generation X-Series drove favorable premium mix, strengthened brand momentum, and improved profitability. This more than offset lower industry volumes and served as a primary driver of growth across our business.
Including the initial contribution from Chaparral and Robalo, total company net sales were $348.9 million, up 22.8% year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA was $45.6 million, up 87.1% year-over-year.
Turning to the fourth quarter. Our performance was particularly encouraging given the difficult prior year comparison, which benefited from the launch of the ultra-premium XStar. Against that backdrop, our legacy business delivered 21.5% year-over-year net sales growth and expanded adjusted EBITDA margin 730 basis points to 19.3% from 12.0% in the prior year period. These results reflect the strength of MasterCraft's premium product portfolio, continued momentum across the lineup, healthy dealer inventories, and disciplined cost management.
Including the 6-week contribution from Chaparral and Robalo, total company fourth quarter net sales were $129.9 million, up 63.4% year-over-year. And adjusted EBITDA was $20.5 million, up 114.9% year-over-year. The new Recreation and Sport Fishing segment contributed $33.3 million of revenue and $1.8 million of adjusted EBITDA during the abbreviated 6-week window of ownership. We do not believe the segment's initial reported profitability is representative of its underlying earnings power or long-term potential. Scott will provide additional detail on these items shortly.
On a consolidated basis, a key reason for our outperformance was disciplined channel management. Dealer health remains a significant competitive advantage for MCBH. Field inventory in our legacy business finished the year down approximately 30% year-over-year with turns improving to better than pre-pandemic levels. Chaparral and Robalo also ended the year with lower inventory levels and higher turns.
The broader retail environment remained mixed throughout the year. Premium and core customers remained relatively resilient, while value-oriented customers faced pressure from higher interest rates, inflation, and broader economic uncertainty. Even in that environment, our differentiated products, disciplined execution, and strong dealer health enabled us to outperform the broader market.
MasterCraft's retail performance is a clear example of that dynamic. Entering the year, we expected category retail to decline 5% to 10%, with the market finishing slightly lower than our estimated range. We significantly outperformed that expectation with MasterCraft retail finishing up low-single digits and outperforming both the ski/wake category and the broader powerboat market.
In our Recreation and Sport Fishing segment, Robalo was another standout performer, delivering retail growth in the high-single digits and continuing to benefit from strong product momentum within the attractive sport fishing category. Together, MasterCraft and Robalo helped MCBH outperform a broader powerboat industry that declined mid- to high-single digits.
Looking ahead, we continue to plan prudently and currently expect retail market demand to be down approximately 5% to 10% over the next 6 months following current calendar year-to-date trends. As we evaluate conditions across the portfolio, retail dynamics remain challenged across marine categories, especially within the entry-level pontoon and runabout markets. Consistent with our disciplined approach to channel management, we continue to expect to align wholesale production with retail demand. That assumption is incorporated into the guidance Scott will discuss later in the call.
Alongside pipeline management and dealer health, differentiated innovation continues to be one of our most important competitive advantages. Within MasterCraft, the X-Series continued to gain momentum throughout the year. With the reintroduction of the X23 alongside the X22 and X24, and building on the success of the XStar, dealer and consumer response has been outstanding. The X-Series drove significant revenue and profitability growth throughout both the fourth quarter and full year, and we believe this product expansion has further strengthened our leadership position in the premium ski/wake category.
Within Leisure, we improved segment profitability this year through disciplined cost management and operational efficiencies. Looking ahead to the new model year, we have responded directly to dealer feedback by improving performance across the lineup through meaningful enhancements in both speed, design, and handling.
We also introduced the new Crest Conquest SE Tritoon and announced an industry-first integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with on-water navigation directly from the factory. These initiatives improve the ownership experience and provide consumers with compelling reasons to choose our brands.
Within our newly acquired brands, we are encouraged by the product and innovation road maps alongside the strength of the existing portfolio. Chaparral recently introduced the all-new SSX4 OB, expanding the brand's premium outboard bowrider offering. Separately, our sterndrive lineup now features the new E-Z Step, an innovative water entry design that received a 2026 NMMA Innovation Award.
Robalo continues to build momentum in the dual console category with products such as the R277 and new R237, both filling strategic white space and expanding Robalo's ability to attract incremental customers.
As we deepen our understanding of these newly acquired businesses, our approach is clear: protect what makes each brand strong in its market, invest behind the products and categories where we see the greatest opportunity to create value, and use the scale and capabilities of MCBH to accelerate that value creation.
One early example of how we are creating value across the portfolio is the Chaparral Surf platform. We have temporarily paused production in these models while we enhance the technology and overall customer experience. By combining Chaparral's strength in ride, design, and layout with MasterCraft's deep wake and surf expertise, we believe we can deliver an even stronger product offering for consumers and dealers. This is an early example of how we intend to leverage the capabilities of the combined company to drive product innovation and long-term value creation.
Since closing the transaction, we've spent significant time with the Chaparral and Robalo teams, dealers, and products. Our conviction in the long-term opportunities created by the combination has only increased. These are strong brands with talented teams, loyal customers, and attractive market positions.
Our integration and synergy efforts are underway with structured work streams in place. In the near term, we are prioritizing and investing in attractive opportunities to enhance innovation, expand dealer relationships with our robust product set, share technologies, and leverage manufacturing and sourcing best practices.
Our capital allocation priorities remain unchanged: maintain a strong balance sheet, invest in innovation and growth, which includes synergy work, returning capital to shareholders through share repurchases, and maintaining a disciplined approach to M&A. Overall, we executed well in a challenging market, delivered results that exceeded expectations, expanded profitability, and completed a transformational acquisition that strengthens the future of MCBH. With that, I'll turn the call over to Scott.
Scott Kent
Thanks, Brad, and good morning, everyone. Fiscal 2026 was a strong year -- was a year of strong execution and meaningful transformation for our company. I'll start by reviewing our fourth quarter and full year results, then provide additional details regarding the impact of the Marine Products acquisition, and finish with our outlook for the 6-month transition period.
For the fourth quarter, legacy net sales were $96.6 million, an increase of $17.1 million or 21.5% compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher volumes of our premium X-Series models, disciplined pricing, and lower discounts. Including $33.3 million of net sales from Chaparral and Robalo during the 6-week ownership period, consolidated fourth quarter net sales were $129.9 million, an increase of $50.4 million or 63.4% compared to the prior year period.
These same factors impacting net sales also supported strong margin performance across our legacy business. Gross margins expanded approximately 690 basis points to 30%, driven by improved fixed cost absorption on higher unit volumes, lower discounts, and strong operating execution. Including Chaparral and Robalo, consolidated gross margin declined 60 basis points compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting purchase accounting impact associated with the Marine Products combination.
As part of our year-end -- year-end impairment assessment, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $10.1 million in our Leisure segment related to certain Crest brand intangible assets. This charge reflects current conditions within the pontoon category, is excluded from our adjusted results, has no impact on our liquidity or cash flows. We continue to view pontoons as an attractive long-term category and remain focused on strengthening the segment through disciplined inventory management, targeted product innovation, and improved execution as retail and market conditions stabilize.
The non-cash impairment charge, together with acquisition-related purchase accounting impact and transaction costs, resulted in a GAAP net loss for the quarter. Loss from continuing operations was $7 million or a loss of $0.35 per diluted share compared to income from continuing operations of $5.5 million or $0.33 per diluted share in the prior year period. Due to the extent of the one-time acquisition-related and non-cash items affecting GAAP results this quarter, we believe our adjusted results better reflect the underlying strength and operating performance of the business, which I will cover now.
On a legacy basis, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $18.6 million, an increase of $9.1 million or 95.6% compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 730 basis points to 19.3%, up from 12% a year ago, reflecting strong performance across our legacy businesses. In the partial period contribution -- including the partial period contribution from Chaparral and Robalo, consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $20.5 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.8%. Consolidated adjusted net income was $13.5 million or $0.67 per diluted share compared to $6.6 million or $0.40 per diluted share a year ago.
Turning to the full year. Legacy net sales were $315.6 million, up $31.4 million or 11% compared to fiscal 2025. Including the impact of the Chaparral and Robalo businesses, net sales were $348.9 million, an increase of $64.7 million or 22.8%. Profitability also improved meaningfully for the year. Legacy gross margins expanded 520 basis points to 25.2%, supported by the same operating drivers that benefited our fourth quarter results.
Including Chaparral and Robalo, consolidated gross margin was 22.9%, an increase of 290 basis points compared to fiscal 2025, despite the purchase accounting impacts related to Marine Products combination. Legacy adjusted EBITDA increased 79.6%, up $43.8 million compared to $24.4 million in fiscal 2025, with margins expanding 530 basis points to 13.9%, up from 8.6% in the prior year. Including the partial period contribution from Chaparral and Robalo, consolidated adjusted EBITDA increased 87.1% to $45.6 million. Consolidated adjusted net income was $30.2 million or $1.76 per diluted share compared to $15.1 million or $0.92 per diluted share in the prior year.
Turning to the balance sheet. We remain disciplined and continue to generate cash through a transformational year. We generated $22.3 million of free cash flow for the year after funding $8.1 million of capital expenditures and absorbing transaction-related costs associated with the Marine Products combination. We ended the year with $43.9 million in cash, no debt outstanding, and full availability under our $75 million revolving credit facility.
Before discussing the consolidated outlook, I want to highlight a few items related to the Chaparral and Robalo acquisition, including the impact of purchase accounting. In the fourth quarter, we reported $2.8 million for a step-up in inventory value, of which $2.6 million was recognized as cost of sales expense in Q4 with the remainder being recognized in Q1.
Q4 intangible amortization expense was $2.9 million, including $2.6 million for a short-lived backlog intangible that fully amortized in fiscal year '26. We expect amortization to normalize at approximately $0.6 million per quarter. Depreciation included in the gross margin was $1.1 million in Q4 and is expected to normalize at approximately $2.7 million per quarter.
A couple of items of note on Chaparral and Robalo volumes versus our prior market recovery and growth assumptions. Due to delayed retail recovery, we are moderating production levels to align wholesale and retail demand, which will result in holding shipments and average selling prices near our Q4 exit rate. Additionally, as Brad mentioned, we have also temporarily paused production of the Chaparral Surf Series to further enhance the platform. While timing of market recovery is delayed, our confidence in the long-term opportunity is grounded in our proven ability to create value through strong execution and meaningful product innovation.
Now turning to our consolidated results or consolidated outlook. As Alec mentioned earlier, we are transitioning our fiscal year to align with calendar year. And today, we are providing guidance for the 6-month transition period covering July through December 2026. This guidance reflects the combined company, including Chaparral and Robalo, and covers a seasonally low volume period for our business.
For the upcoming September quarter, we expect net sales of approximately $147 million, adjusted EBITDA of approximately $16 million, and adjusted earnings per share of approximately $0.40. For the 6-month transition period, we expect net sales of between $287 million and $291 million, adjusted EBITDA between $29 million and $32 million, and adjusted earnings per share between $0.66 and $0.76. We expect capital expenditures of approximately $9 million in the period.
These results reflect strong growth from our legacy brands despite our expectations that the retail environment will decline approximately 5% to 10%. Our ability to grow in a down market reflects consistent execution against proven core strategies. The MasterCraft X-Series is a clear example of this strategy in action. During the first quarter of the prior year, we paused X-Series production to support dealer sell-through of outgoing models and facilitate a disciplined transition to the next-generation lineup.
In the upcoming September quarter, all 3 new X-Series models will be in full production. While this production timing creates an unusual year-over-year comparison, it also positions us with a complete premium product lineup and strong momentum entering the transition period. Looking ahead, we will continue to evaluate market conditions, dealer inventory levels, and product launch timing as we closely align wholesale production with retail demand and focus on executing our strategic priorities.
We have the balance sheet and cash flows to invest not only in the synergy opportunities created by the acquisition, but also in our ongoing focus on new differentiated products that will continue -- that will continue to win in the marketplace. We remain confident in the strength of our portfolio, the long-term earnings power of the combined company, and our ability to create value despite challenging market conditions. With that, I'll turn it back to Brad for closing remarks.
Bradley Nelson
Thanks, Scott. We executed well and delivered results that exceeded our expectations while expanding profitability and broadening our growth platform. What gives me confidence is that these results were earned, not market-driven. Our teams executed with discipline, remained focused on the fundamentals, and consistently delivered against our priorities. As a result, we strengthened dealer health, gained retail share, and expanded our platform for future growth.
There is real energy and excitement across the organization as we enter our next chapter as a larger, more diversified company. With our 5 brands, we now have a broader portfolio spanning attractive recreational boating categories, expanded reach across inland and coastal markets, and greater opportunity to serve dealers and customers with differentiated products and a wider range of price points.
The macroeconomic and retail environment remains challenging. However, our long-term view and execution-minded focus has not changed. We believe our portfolio of leading brands, established dealer network, strong balance sheet, and flexible operating model position us well to navigate near-term uncertainty, drive growth, and create value as market conditions stabilize.
I want to thank our team members, dealer partners, suppliers, and shareholders for their support this year. And once again, welcome the Chaparral and Robalo teams to the company. We are excited about what we are building together, and we remain confident in the long-term value creation potential of MCBH. Operator, you may now open the line for questions.

Your first question comes from Craig Kennison with Baird.
質疑応答
Craig Kennison
Regarding your guidance for the next 6-month stub period, could you help us unpack the contribution of Chaparral and Robalo to those results?
Scott Kent
Sure. So I guess I'll start by reminding you, we are kind of at a low point in the market, and this is also our low season as we go into the next 6-month stub period. But as you think about the results for the 6-week period of Chaparral and Robalo, just keep in mind, they are impacted by purchase accounting items in that 6-week period, most of which is the inventory step-up, which was $2.6 million.
So our public gross margins in the K are going to show 0.9% for the gross margins for the Chaparral and Robalo business for that 6-week ownership period. Those margins would actually be 9% without the inventory step-up. The margins are also impacted by higher depreciation as we wrote up all of our fixed assets in the purchase accounting process.
So the depreciation in that 6-week period was $1.1 million, and that will obviously have an ongoing impact in the future as well. But we approximate $2.7 million on a go-forward quarterly basis for what the depreciation will run for the Chaparral and Robalo businesses.
Now all of that ultimately led to an adjusted EBITDA, which excludes both the depreciation as well as the inventory step-up that came in at about 5.5% for that 6-week period.
As we look forward into that business, I think you can think of the margins, at least for the adjusted EBITDA are going to be somewhere in that same range on a go-forward basis until we get through some of our synergies and some of the initial investments we're putting into the brands.
Craig Kennison
That's very helpful. Just thinking about the revenue contribution over the next 6 months embedded in your guidance for those 2 brands, how should we think about that?
Scott Kent
So as I was trying to say in my sort of prepared remarks, we're keeping the volumes fairly flat, the run rate volume fairly flat and how we exited Q4 for that business as well. Just keep in mind that it was 6 weeks' worth of activity in that fourth quarter period for us, but the run rate of that should continue into the 6-month or 6-month transition period as well.
Bradley Nelson
Craig, which also really aligns production and wholesale with retail generally.
Craig Kennison
Got it. That makes sense. And maybe, Brad, if I could just ask you, curious, any early surprises or challenges associated with the Marine Products? I'm sure there are many surprises as you dig in deeper?
Bradley Nelson
Not many. I mean the only thing that's really changed from our early assumptions is the retail environment and recovery of the retail environment has just been pushed out some here as we continue to bounce at the low part of the market. But in general, on the fundamentals of the business from an addressable market perspective that more than doubles our participation with a wide range of price points now with a larger platform for product channel and even operational leverage, we've been really thrilled with that.
We've got active synergy plans in place that we're excited, accelerating value creation there. But in general, our conviction and confidence around this has only increased.

Your next question comes from Noah Zatzkin with KeyBanc Capital Markets.
Noah Zatzkin
I guess, first, just kind of on the industry retail commentary. What did you kind of see play out through the quarter? And maybe what are you seeing now? Any kind of change in retail performance for you guys or the broader industry as things progressed?
Scott Kent
As I think we mentioned, the 5% to 10% we're sort of assuming for the industry across really all of our segments was really a reflection of kind of the current calendar year trend that's been going on across our segments. Some are a little better, some are a little worse in that 5% to 10% range. But we're just assuming that, that sort of continues through the rest of the season.
Keep in mind, the rest of the 6-month period is the low point of retail. So it's harder on a calendar year basis to catch up much. So we still believe in the quarter as well as for the calendar year, we'll still be in that 5% to 10% range.
Noah Zatzkin
Got it. Very helpful. And then maybe just now kind of exiting selling season, just any comments on what you're seeing in terms of inventory positions kind of across the industry and how you're feeling?
Scott Kent
I do think that over the last 2 years, the entire industry has been trying to bring down inventory levels coming out of the kind of COVID highs of retail. That certainly has continued. I think the entire industry is healthier than it used to be, and we're certainly in that way -- in that as well.
So I think as we kind of mentioned, the legacy brands for our pipeline are down about 20% or 30% on the legacy side and about 20%, including our new Chaparral and Robalo brands. So we think we've done what we need to do to bring down inventories. And as we've kind of tried to say, as you think forward, we're going to do a lot better trying to align wholesale to retail and not really focus on trying to get any further pipeline reductions unless the market just continues to go down, and we have to follow the market. So...
Bradley Nelson
Also, Noah, just to build on that a little bit, on the positive front, as Scott mentioned, dealer inventory is clean. Promotional intensity is healthier than it's been. Premium customers remain engaged in our brands and boating participation supports the long term.
So although we're managing relatively conservatively today through this period with retail recovery delay, when that broadens, we're prepared for upside there. So that delayed retail recovery is really a timing issue in our view, not a change in any long-term fundamentals in the marine space.

Your next question comes from Gregory Miller with Truist Securities.
Gregory Miller
You mentioned a number of items that you're working on in the Recreation and Sport Fishing segment, innovation, dealer relations and manufacturing. I thought to focus on dealer relations, and I'm just curious what changes you're working and implementing post acquisition.
Bradley Nelson
Well, across the board, as we accelerate value creation of a larger group here with presence with 5 brands in all these categories, first of all, let me just say we're protecting what makes our brands special. And that includes Chaparral, Robalo, keeping them strong while we use scale and process and cross-company expertise to drive even more value.
So with synergy plans in general as it relates to dealers, you can imagine with that added scale, product diversity, brand leverage, there's all kinds of discussions happening. We've already seen successes of dealers picking up new brands within our portfolios, of which there are also numerous other discussions ongoing as that unfolds. Every one of those conversations creates value opportunity for the future. It's one of our core synergy items that we're deeply engaged in right now today, and that will continue to unfold over time.
Gregory Miller
Okay. And I think you may have addressed this a little bit in the call already, but from a manufacturing or plant operations context, have you made any changes to the Georgia plant since you finished acquisition?
Bradley Nelson
Well, the teams are working together on all kinds of best practice sharing, and that goes in all directions. It's not just MasterCraft injection into the Georgia facility. There's best practices there that we're applying in reverse. There's a handful of high-priority operational items at play there. We have structured integration and synergy teams very disciplined working through that. And in time, that will prove out as we look at -- and that also includes purchasing synergies as well on the sourcing side.
Operator
There are no further questions at this time. This concludes today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.
