On Jan. 25, 2007, MarineMax (NYSE:HZO) released its first-quarter earnings for the period ended Dec. 31, 2006.

  • Revenues increased 29.6% driven by a 14% increase in the same-store sales.
  • Operating margins went down 200 basis points because of an increased number of "team members" and higher marketing and promotional costs.
  • Inventories increased 40.5% due to the acquisition of the Port Arrowhead Group and Surfside-3 Marina -- completed during the March 2006 quarter -- and the addition of the Cabo Yachts product line.
