NextBoat Inc. Announces Fiscal Second Quarter 2026 Results

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

“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.

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