Quarterly revenues of $67.2 million beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $64 million by 5.5%. However, the top line declined 59.7% on a year-over-year basis. The downside was primarily caused by lower unit volume and unfavorable model mix and options.
During the fiscal fourth quarter, net sales in the MasterCraft segment came in at $44.4 million compared with $129.3 million reported in the prior-year quarter. Net sales in the Pontoon segment declined 59.8% year over year to $9.9 million. During the quarter, revenues from the Aviara segment increased 2.3% year over year to $12.9 million.
