MARINEMAX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.

COMPANY BACKGROUND:

We are the largest recreational boat and yacht retailer in the United States. We engage primarily in the retail sale, brokerage, and service of new and used boats, motors, trailers, marine parts and accessories and offer slip and storage accommodations in certain locations. In addition, we arrange related boat financing, insurance, and extended service contracts.  We also offer the charter of power and sailing yachts in the British Virgin Islands.  As of June 30, 2017, we operated through 62 retail locations in 17 states, consisting of Alabama, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Texas. Our MarineMax Vacations operation maintains a facility in Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

We are the nation’s largest retailer of Sea Ray and Boston Whaler recreational boats and yachts, which are manufactured by Brunswick Corporation (“Brunswick”). Sales of new Brunswick boats accounted for approximately 40% of our revenue in fiscal 2016.  Sales of new Sea Ray and Boston Whaler boats, both divisions of Brunswick, accounted for approximately 24% and 14%, respectively, of our revenue in fiscal 2016. Brunswick is a world leading manufacturer of marine products and marine engines. We believe we represented approximately 53% of Brunswick’s Sea Ray boat sales, during our fiscal 2016.

We have dealership agreements with Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Meridian, and Mercury Marine, all subsidiaries or divisions of Brunswick. We also have dealer agreements with Italy-based Azimut-Benetti Group’s product line for Azimut Yachts. These agreements allow us to purchase, stock, sell, and service these manufacturers’ boats and products. These agreements also allow us to use these manufacturers’ names, trade symbols, and intellectual property in our operations.

We have multi-year dealer agreements with Brunswick covering Sea Ray products that appoint us as the exclusive dealer of Sea Ray boats in our geographic markets. We are the exclusive dealer for Boston Whaler through multi-year dealer agreements for many of our geographic markets. In addition, we are the exclusive dealer for Azimut Yachts for the entire United States through a multi-year dealer agreement. Sales of new Azimut boats accounted for approximately 11% of our revenue in fiscal 2016. We believe non-Brunswick brands offer a migration for our existing customer base or fill a void in our product offerings, and accordingly, do not compete with the business generated from our other prominent brands.

As is typical in the industry, we deal with most of our manufacturers, other than Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Meridian, and Azimut Yachts, under renewable annual dealer agreements, each of which gives us the right to sell various makes and models of boats within a given geographic region. Any change or termination of these agreements, or the agreements discussed above, for any reason, or changes in competitive, regulatory, or marketing practices, including rebate or incentive programs, could adversely affect our results of operations. Although there are a limited number of manufacturers of the type of boats and products that we sell, we believe that adequate alternative sources would be available to replace any manufacturer other than Sea Ray and Azimut as a product source. These alternative sources may not be available at the time of any interruption, and alternative products may not be available at comparable terms, which could affect operating results adversely.

General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets we serve and adversely affect our business. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate dealerships, particularly Florida in which we generated approximately 52%, 53%, and 55% of our revenue during fiscal 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, can have a major impact on our operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing, military base closings, inclement weather such as Hurricane Sandy in 2012, environmental conditions, and specific events, such as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, also could adversely affect, and in certain instances have adversely affected, our operations in certain markets.

 

In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods. Consumer spending on luxury goods also may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. As a result, an economic downturn could impact us more than certain of our competitors due to our strategic focus on a higher end of our market. Although we have expanded our operations during periods of stagnant or modestly declining industry trends, the cyclical nature of the recreational boating industry or the lack of industry growth may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence is likely to have a negative effect on our business.

 

 

7


 

Lower consumer spending resulting from a downturn in the housing market and other economic factors adversely affected our business in fiscal 2007, and continued weakness in consumer spending and de pressed economic conditions had a substantial negative effect on our business and industry for several years after fiscal 2007. These conditions caused us to substantially reduce our acquisition program, delay new store openings, reduce our inventory purch ases, engage in inventory reduction efforts, close a number of our retail locations, reduce our headcount, and amend and replace our credit facility. Acquisitions and new store openings remain important strategies to our company, and we have recently close d on certain acquisitions, and we plan to accelerate our growth through these strategies as economic conditions continue to improve. However, we cannot predict the length of unfavorable economic or industry conditions or the extent to which they will conti nue to adversely affect our operating results nor can we predict the effectiveness of the measures we have taken to address this environment.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. All adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2017, our financial instruments consisted of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, customer deposits, and short-term borrowings. The carrying amounts of our financial instruments reported on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2017, approximated fair value due either to length to maturity or existence of variable interest rates, which approximate prevailing market rates.  The operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods.

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by us in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include valuation allowances, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of long-lived assets, and valuation of accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references to “MarineMax” mean MarineMax, Inc. prior to its acquisition of five previously independent recreational boat dealers in March 1998 (including their related real estate companies) and all references to the “Company,” “our company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean, as a combined company, MarineMax, Inc. and the 27 recreational boat dealers, two boat brokerage operations, and two full-service yacht repair operations acquired as of June 30, 2017 (the “acquired dealers,” and together with the brokerage and repair operations, “operating subsidiaries” or the “acquired companies”).

In order to provide comparability between periods presented, certain amounts have been reclassified from the previously reported unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentation for the current period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), a converged standard on revenue recognition. The new pronouncement requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer, as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. While we are continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we currently do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, or will cause a significant change to our current accounting policies or internal controls over financial reporting for revenue recognition on boat, motor, and trailer sales, parts and service operations, brokerage commissions, slip and storage services, charter rentals, and fee income generated from finance and insurance products.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 201 5-11, “Inventory (Topic 330)” (“ASU 2015-11”).  The pronouncement was issued to simplify the measurement of inventory and change the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This pronouncement is effective for rep orting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We elected to early adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or internal controls.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. While we are continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have a significant and material impact to our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet given our current lease agreements for our leased retail locations. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our other unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on a preliminary assessment, we expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. We are continuing our assessment, which may identify additional impacts this standard will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and internal controls over financial reporting.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”).  This update was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The amendments in this update cover such areas as the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies, the classification of those excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, an accounting policy election for forfeitures, the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes and still qualify for equity classification and the classification of those taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We elected to early adopt the new guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 which required us to reflect any adjustments as of October 1, 2015, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The primary effect of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital for all periods in fiscal 2016. This early adoption resulted in an approximately $5.2 million increase in deferred tax assets and retained earnings as of October 1, 2015, the beginning of fiscal 2016. The adoption in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of ASU 2016-09 resulted in additional income tax expense of $242,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and an additional income tax expense of $376,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 from the previously reported income tax provisions in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 .

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)” (“ASU 2017-04”). This update removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the impairment loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or internal controls.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

We recognize revenue from boat, motor, and trailer sales, and parts and service operations at the time the boat, motor, trailer, or part is delivered to or accepted by the customer or the service is completed. We recognize deferred revenue from service operations and slip and storage services on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract as services are completed. We recognize commissions earned from a brokerage sale at the time the related brokerage transaction closes. We recognize income from the rentals of chartering power and sailing yachts on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract as services are completed. We recognize commissions earned by us for placing notes with financial institutions in connection with customer boat financing when we recognize the related boat sales. We recognize marketing fees earned on credit, life, accident, disability, gap, and hull insurance products sold by third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the insurance product as evidenced by contract execution or when the related boat sale is recognized. Pursuant to negotiated agreements with financial and insurance institutions, we are charged back for a portion of these fees should the customer terminate or default on the related finance or insurance contract before it is outstanding for a stipulated minimum period of time. We base the chargeback allowance, which was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole as of June 30, 2017, on our experience with repayments or defaults on the related finance or insurance contracts.

We also recognize commissions earned on extended warranty service contracts sold on behalf of third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the service contract terms as evidenced by contract execution or recognition of the related boat sale. We are charged back for a portion of these commissions should the customer terminate or default on the service contract prior to its scheduled maturity. We determined the chargeback allowance, which was not material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements taken as a whole as of June 30, 2017, based upon our experience with terminations or defaults on the service contracts.

 

 

5.

INVENTORIES:

Inventory costs consist of the amount paid to acquire inventory, net of vendor consideration and purchase discounts, the cost of equipment added, reconditioning costs, and transportation costs relating to acquiring inventory for sale. We state new and used boat, motor, and trailer inventories at the lower of cost, determined on a specific-identification basis, or net realizable value. We state parts and accessories at the lower of cost, determined on an average cost basis, or net realizable value. We utilize our historical experience, the aging of the inventories, and our consideration of current market trends as the basis for determining a lower of cost or net realizable value valuation allowance.  As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, our lower of cost or net realizable value valuation allowance for new and used boat, motor, and trailer inventories was $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively. If events occur and market conditions change, causing the fair value to fall below carrying value, the lower of cost or net realizable value valuation allowance could increase.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS:

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360-10-40, “Property, Plant, and Equipment - Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360-10-40”), requires that long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Any impairment recognized in accordance with ASC 360-10-40 is permanent and may not be restored. The analysis is performed at a regional level for indicators of permanent impairment given the geographical interdependencies among our locations. Based upon our most recent analysis, which excludes fixed assets classified as held for sale which are recorded at fair value, we believe no impairment of long-lived assets existed as of June 30, 2017.

 

 

7.

INCOME TAXES:

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled.  We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized by considering all available positive and negative evidence.  As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, we had a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets of $454,000.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017 we recognized an income tax provision of $9.3 and $9.1 million, respectively. During the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017 we recognized an income tax provision of $11.5 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017 was 40.2% and 39.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017 was 40.4% and 38.7%, respectively. The adoption in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of ASU 2016-09 resulted in an increase in income tax expense of $242,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 , and an increase in income tax expense of $376,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 .

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:

In May 2017, we amended and restated our Inventory Financing Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”), originally entered into in June 2010, as subsequently amended, with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance LLC (formerly GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation). The May 2017 amendment and restatement extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to October 2020, and the Amended Credit Facility includes two additional one-year extension periods, with lender approval. The May 2017 amendment and restatement, among other things, modified the amount of borrowing availability and maturity date of the Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Facility provides a floor plan financing commitment of up to $350.0 million, an increase from the previous limit of $300.0 million, subject to borrowing base availability resulting from the amount and aging of our inventory.

The Amended Credit Facility has certain financial covenants as specified in the agreement. The covenants include provisions that our leverage ratio must not exceed 2.75 to 1.0 and that our current ratio must be greater than 1.2 to 1.0. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility is 345 basis points above the one-month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”). There is an unused line fee of ten basis points on the unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility.

 

Advances under the Amended Credit Facility are initiated by the acquisition of eligible new and used inventory or are re-advances against eligible new and used inventory that have been partially paid-off. Advances on new inventory will generally mature 1,080 days from the original invoice date. Advances on used inventory will mature 361 days from the date we acquire the used inventory. Each advance is subject to a curtailment schedule, which requires that we pay down the balance of each advance on a periodic basis starting after six months. The curtailment schedule varies based on the type and value of the inventory. The collateral for the Amended Credit Facility is all of our personal property with certain limited exceptions. None of our real estate has been pledged for collateral for the Amended Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2017, our indebtedness associated with financing our inventory and working capital needs totaled approximately $241.6 million. As of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the interest rate on the outstanding short-term borrowings was approximately 3.9% and 4.5%, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, our additional available borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility were approximately $49.4 million based upon the outstanding borrowing base availability.

As is common in our industry, we receive interest assistance directly from boat manufacturers, including Brunswick. The interest assistance programs vary by manufacturer, but generally include periods of free financing or reduced interest rate programs. The interest assistance may be paid directly to us or our lender depending on the arrangements the manufacturer has established. We classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders.

The availability and costs of borrowed funds can adversely affect our ability to obtain adequate boat inventory and the holding costs of that inventory as well as the ability and willingness of our customers to finance boat purchases. As of June 30, 2017, we had no long-term debt. However, we rely on our Amended Credit Facility to purchase our inventory of boats. The aging of our inventory limits our borrowing capacity as defined curtailments reduce the allowable advance rate as our inventory ages. Our access to funds under our Amended Credit Facility also depends upon the ability of our lenders to meet their funding commitments, particularly if they experience shortages of capital or experience excessive volumes of borrowing requests from others during a short period of time. Unfavorable economic conditions, weak consumer spending, turmoil in the credit markets, and lender difficulties, among other potential reasons, could interfere with our ability to utilize our Amended Credit Facility to fund our operations. Any inability to utilize our Amended Credit Facility could require us to seek other sources of funding to repay amounts outstanding under the credit agreements or replace or supplement our credit agreements, which may not be possible at all or under commercially reasonable terms.

Similarly, decreases in the availability of credit and increases in the cost of credit adversely affect the ability of our customers to purchase boats from us and thereby adversely affect our ability to sell our products and impact the profitability of our finance and insurance activities.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

We account for our stock-based compensation plans following the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”).  In accordance with ASC 718, we use the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing all stock-based compensation and shares purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We measure compensation for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units at fair value on the grant date based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of our common stock. We recognize compensation cost for all awards in operations, net of estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

During the three months June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $3.2 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cash received from option exercises under all share-based compensation arrangements and the employee stock purchase plan for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, was approximately $656,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, was approximately $1.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. We currently expect to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.

THE INCENTIVE STOCK PLANS:

During February 2017, our shareholders approved a proposal to amend the 2011 Stock-Based Compensation Plan (“2011 Plan”) to increase the 2,200,456 share threshold by 1,000,000 shares to 3,200,456 shares.  During January 2011, our shareholders approved a proposal to authorize our 2011 Plan, which replaced our 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2007 Plan”). Our 2011 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, bonus stock, dividend equivalents, other stock related awards, and performance awards (collectively “awards”), that may be settled in cash, stock, or other property. Our 2011 Plan is designed to attract, motivate, retain, and reward our executives, employees, officers, directors, and independent contractors by providing such persons with annual and long-term performance incentives to expend their maximum efforts in the creation of shareholder value. Subsequent to the February 2017 amendment described above, the total number of shares of our common stock that may be subject to awards under the 2011 Plan is equal to 3,000,000 shares, plus: (i) any shares available for issuance and not subject to an award under the 2007 Plan, which was 200,456 shares at the time of approval of the 2011 Plan; (ii) the number of shares with respect to which awards granted under the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan terminate without the issuance of the shares or where the shares are forfeited or repurchased; (iii) with respect to awards granted under the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the number of shares that are not issued as a result of the award being settled for cash or otherwise not issued in connection with the exercise or payment of the award; and (iv) the number of shares that are surrendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of any award or any tax withholding requirements in connection with any award granted under the 2011 Plan or the 2007 Plan. The 2011 Plan terminates in January 2021, and awards may be granted at any time during the life of the 2011 Plan. The dates on which awards vest are determined by the Board of Directors or the Plan Administrator. The Board of Directors has appointed the Compensation Committee as the Plan Administrator. The exercise prices of options are determined by the Board of Directors or the Plan Administrator and are at least equal to the fair market value of shares of common stock on the date of grant. The term of options under the 2011 Plan may not exceed ten years. The options granted have varying vesting periods. To date, we have not settled or been under any obligation to settle any awards in cash.

No options were granted for the nine months ended June 30, 2017. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2016 was $6.88. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017 was $950,000 and $1.6 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, there was approximately $1.3 million and $268,000, respectively, of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.9 years and 0.3 years, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017 was approximately $152,000 and $2.5 million, respectively.

We used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of options granted. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN:

During February 2012, our shareholders approved a proposal to amend our 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“Stock Purchase Plan”) to increase the number of shares available under that plan by 500,000 shares. The Stock Purchase Plan as amended provides for up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock to be available for purchase by our regular employees who have completed at least one year of continuous service. In addition, there were 52,837 shares of common stock available under our 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which have been made available for issuance under our Stock Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan provides for implementation of up to 10 annual offerings beginning on the first day of October starting in 2008, with each offering terminating on September 30 of the following year. Each annual offering may be divided into two six-month offerings. For each offering, the purchase price per share will be the lower of: (i) 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the first day of the offering or (ii) 85% of the closing price of the common stock on the last day of the offering. The purchase price is paid through periodic payroll deductions not to exceed 10% of the participant’s earnings during each offering period. However, no participant may purchase more than $25,000 worth of common stock annually.

We used the Black-Scholes model to estimate the fair value of options granted to purchase shares issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS:

We have granted non-vested (restricted) stock awards (“restricted stock”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to employees and executive officers pursuant to the 2011 Plan and the 2007 Plan. The restricted stock awards and RSUs have varying vesting periods, but generally become fully vested between two and four years after the grant date, depending on the specific award, performance targets level of achievement for performance based awards granted to executive officers, and vesting period for time based awards. Executive officer performance based awards are granted at the target amount of shares that may be earned and the actual amount of the award earned generally could range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares based on the actual specified performance target met. We accounted for the restricted stock awards granted using the measurement and recognition provisions of ASC 718. Accordingly, the fair value of the restricted stock awards, including performance based awards, is measured on the grant date and recognized in earnings over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

We are party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While it is not feasible to determine the actual outcome of these actions as of June 30, 2017, we believe that these matters should not have a material adverse effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our “expectations,” “anticipations,” “intentions,” “beliefs,” or “strategies” regarding the future. These forward-looking statements include statements relating to market risks such as interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange rate risk; economic and industry conditions and corresponding effects on consumer behavior and operating results; environmental conditions; inclement weather; certain specific and isolated events; our future estimates, assumptions and judgments, including statements regarding whether such estimates, assumptions and judgments would have a material adverse effect on our operating results; the impact of changes in accounting policy and standards; our plans to accelerate our growth through acquisitions and new store openings; our belief that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next 12 months, except for possible significant acquisitions; and the seasonality and cyclicality of our business and the effect of such seasonality and cyclicality on our business, financial results and inventory levels. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016.

General

We are the largest recreational boat and yacht retailer in the United States with fiscal 2016 revenue in excess of $940 million. Through our current 62 retail locations in 17 states, we sell new and used recreational boats and related marine products, including engines, trailers, parts, and accessories. We also arrange related boat financing, insurance, and extended service contracts; provide boat repair and maintenance services; offer yacht and boat brokerage sales; and, where available, offer slip and storage accommodations, as well as the charter of power and sailing yachts in the British Virgin Islands.

MarineMax was incorporated in January 1998 (and reincorporated in Florida in March 2015). We commenced operations with the acquisition of five independent recreational boat dealers on March 1, 1998. Since the initial acquisitions in March 1998, we have, as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on 10-Q, acquired 27 recreational boat dealers, two boat brokerage operations, and two full-service yacht repair facilities. As a part of our acquisition strategy, we frequently engage in discussions with various recreational boat dealers regarding their potential acquisition by us. Potential acquisition discussions frequently take place over a long period of time and involve difficult business integration and other issues, including, in some cases, management succession and related matters. As a result of these and other factors, a number of potential acquisitions that from time to time appear likely to occur do not result in binding legal agreements and are not consummated. We completed no acquisitions in fiscal 2015, three acquisitions in fiscal 2016, and one acquisition to date in fiscal 2017.

General economic conditions and consumer spending patterns can negatively impact our operating results. Unfavorable local, regional, national, or global economic developments or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects could reduce consumer spending in the markets we serve and adversely affect our business. Economic conditions in areas in which we operate dealerships, particularly Florida in which we generated approximately 52%, 53%, and 55% of our revenue during fiscal 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, can have a major impact on our operations. Local influences, such as corporate downsizing, military base closings, and inclement weather such as hurricanes and other storms, environmental conditions, and specific events, such as the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, also could adversely affect, and in certain instances have adversely affected, our operations in certain markets.

In an economic downturn, consumer discretionary spending levels generally decline, at times resulting in disproportionately large reductions in the sale of luxury goods. Consumer spending on luxury goods also may decline as a result of lower consumer confidence levels, even if prevailing economic conditions are favorable. As a result, an economic downturn could impact us more than certain of our competitors due to our strategic focus on a higher end of our market. Although we have expanded our operations during periods of stagnant or modestly declining industry trends, the cyclical nature of the recreational boating industry or the lack of industry growth may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any period of adverse economic conditions or low consumer confidence is likely to have a negative effect on our business.

Lower consumer spending resulting from a downturn in the housing market and other economic factors adversely affected our business in fiscal 2007, and continued weakness in consumer spending and depressed economic conditions had a substantial negative effect on our business and industry for several years after fiscal 2007. These conditions caused us to substantially reduce our acquisition program, delay new store openings, reduce our inventory purchases, engage in inventory reduction efforts, close a number of our retail locations, reduce our headcount, and amend and replace our credit facility. Acquisitions and new store openings remain important strategies to our company, and we plan to accelerate our growth through these strategies as economic conditions continue to improve. However, we cannot predict the length of unfavorable economic or industry conditions or the extent to which they will

 

16


 

continue to adversely affect our operating results nor can we predict the effectiveness of the measures we have taken to address this environment.

Although economic conditions have adversely affected our operating results, we believe we have capitalized on our core strengths to substantially outperform the industry, resulting in market share gains. Our ability to capture such market share supports the alignment of our retailing strategies with the desires of consumers. We believe the steps we have taken to address weak market conditions have yielded, and will yield in the future, an increase in revenue. If general economic trends continue to improve, we expect our core strengths and retailing strategies will position us to capitalize on growth opportunities as they occur and will allow us to emerge from the current economic environment with greater earnings potential.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and risks related to these policies on our business operations are discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.

In the ordinary course of business, we make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions (including future earnings) that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, including contingent assets and liabilities such as contingent consideration liabilities from acquisitions, which are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective, and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from boat, motor, and trailer sales and parts and service operations at the time the boat, motor, trailer, or part is delivered to or accepted by the customer or the service is completed. We recognize deferred revenue from service operations and slip and storage services on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract or when service is completed. We recognize commissions earned from a brokerage sale at the time the related brokerage transaction closes. We recognize commissions earned by us for placing notes with financial institutions in connection with customer boat financing when we recognize the related boat sales. We recognize marketing fees earned on credit, life, accident, disability, gap, and hull insurance products sold by third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the insurance product as evidenced by contract execution or when the related boat sale is recognized. We recognize income from the rentals of chartering power and sailing yachts on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract or when service is completed. We also recognize commissions earned on extended warranty service contracts sold on behalf of third-party insurance companies at the later of customer acceptance of the service contract terms as evidenced by contract execution or recognition of the related boat sale.

Certain finance and extended warranty commissions and marketing fees on insurance products may be charged back if a customer terminates or defaults on the underlying contract within a specified period of time. Based upon our experience of terminations and defaults, we maintain a chargeback allowance that was not material to our financial statements taken as a whole as of June 30, 2017. Should results differ materially from our historical experiences, we would need to modify our estimate of future chargebacks, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating margins. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our estimate of future chargebacks which would result in a material effect on our operating results.

Vendor Consideration Received

We account for consideration received from our vendors in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 605-50, “Revenue Recognition - Customer Payments and Incentives” (“ASC 605-50”). ASC 605-50 requires us to classify interest assistance received from manufacturers as a reduction of inventory cost and related cost of sales as opposed to netting the assistance against our interest expense incurred with our lenders. Pursuant to ASC 605-50, amounts received by us under our co-op assistance programs from our manufacturers are netted against related advertising expenses. Our consideration received from our vendors contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment regarding a number of factors, including our ability to collect amounts due from vendors and the ability to meet certain criteria stipulated by our vendors. We do not

 

17


 

believe there is a reasonable like lihood that there will be a change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our vendor considerations which would result in a material effect on our operating results.

Inventories

Inventory costs consist of the amount paid to acquire inventory, net of vendor consideration and purchase discounts, the cost of equipment added, reconditioning costs, and transportation costs relating to acquiring inventory for sale. We state new and used boat, motor, and trailer inventories at the lower of cost, determined on a specific-identification basis, or net realizable value. We state parts and accessories at the lower of cost, determined on an average cost basis, or net realizable value. We utilize our historical experience, the aging of the inventories, and our consideration of current market trends as the basis for determining a lower of cost or net realizable value valuation allowance. Our lower of cost or net realizable value valuation allowance contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment regarding the amount at which the inventory will ultimately be sold which considers forecasted market trends, model changes, and new product introductions. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our lower of cost or net realizable value valuation allowance which would result in a material effect on our operating results. As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, our lower of cost or net realizable value valuation allowance for new and used boat, motor, and trailer inventories was $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively. If events occur and market conditions change, causing the fair value to fall below carrying value, the lower of cost or net realizable value valuation allowance could increase.

Goodwill

We account for goodwill in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” (“ASC 350”), which provides that the excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired is recorded as goodwill. In January 2017, we purchased Hall Marine Group, a privately owned boat dealer in the Southeast United States with locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, resulting in the recording of $16.0 million in goodwill. In total, current and previous acquisitions have resulted in the recording of $25.9 million in goodwill. In accordance with ASC 350, we review goodwill for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our annual impairment test is performed during the fourth fiscal quarter. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value we would recognize an impairment loss in accordance with ASC 350. As of June 30, 2017, and based upon our most recent analysis, we determined through our qualitative assessment that it is not “more likely than not” that the fair values of our reporting units are less than their carrying values. As a result, we were not required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The qualitative assessment requires us to make judgments and assumptions regarding macroeconomic and industry conditions, our financial performance, and other factors. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a change in the judgments and assumptions used in our qualitative assessment which would result in a material effect on our operating results.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360-10-40, “Property, Plant, and Equipment - Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360-10-40”), requires that long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent our best estimate based on currently available information and reasonable and supportable assumptions. Our impairment loss calculations contain uncertainties because they require us to make assumptions and to apply judgment in order to estimate expected future cash flows. Any impairment recognized in accordance with ASC 360-10-40 is permanent and may not be restored. The analysis is performed at a regional level for indicators of permanent impairment given the geographical interdependencies among our locations. Based upon our most recent analysis, which excludes fixed assets classified as held for sale which are recorded at fair value, we believe no impairment of long-lived assets existed as of June 30, 2017. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a change in the future estimates or assumptions used to test for recoverability which would result in a material effect on our operating results.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation plans following the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). In accordance with ASC 718, we use the Black-Scholes valuation model for valuing all stock-based compensation and shares purchased under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We measure compensation for restricted stock awards and restricted stock units at fair value on the grant date based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of our common stock. We recognize compensation cost for all awards in operations, net of estimated forfeitures,

 

18


 

on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. Our valuation models and generally accepted valuation techniques require us to make assumptions and to apply judgment to determine the fair value of our awards. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the volatility of our stock price, expected dividend yield, employee turnover rates and employee stock option exercise behaviors. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our stock-based compensation which would result in a material effect on our operating results .

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We measure deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which we expect those temporary differences to be recovered or settled.  We record valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized by considering all available positive and negative evidence.

Pursuant to ASC 740, we must consider all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets.  ASC 740 provides for four possible sources of taxable income to realize deferred tax assets: 1) taxable income in prior carryback years, 2) reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, 3) tax planning strategies and 4) projected future taxable income.  As of September 30, 2016, we have no available taxable income in prior carryback years, limited reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities or prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.  Therefore, the recoverability of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating future taxable income.

The determination of releasing valuation allowances against deferred tax assets is made, in part, pursuant to our assessment as to whether it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient future taxable income against which benefits of the deferred tax assets may or may not be realized. Significant judgment is required in making estimates regarding our ability to generate income in future periods.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, we reached the conclusion that it was appropriate to release the majority of our valuation allowance against our state net operating loss deferred tax assets due to our operating performance in fiscal 2016 being greater than projected at fiscal 2015 year end. We considered forecasts of future operating results and the utilization of net operating losses within the statutory mandated carryforward periods and determined it was more likely than not that the majority of our state net operating loss deferred tax assets would be realized.  As a result of the release of a portion of our deferred tax asset valuation allowance, we recorded approximately $1.1 million reduction in our income tax provision.  A portion of the valuation allowance was retained based on particular jurisdictions.  Specifically, the valuation allowance was retained for states with shorter statutory carryforward periods and states where our economic presence, as defined by the jurisdiction’s tax laws, has been reduced.

The application of income tax law is inherently complex.  Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. Under ASC 740, the impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return must be recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. As such, we are required to make subjective assumptions and judgments regarding our effective tax rate and our income tax exposure. Our effective income tax rate is affected by changes in tax law in the jurisdictions in which we currently operate, tax jurisdictions of new retail locations, our earnings, and the results of tax audits. We believe that the judgments and estimates discussed herein are reasonable.

Recent Accounting Pronounceme nts

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), a converged standard on revenue recognition. The new pronouncement requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also specifies the accounting for some costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer, as well as enhanced disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. While we are continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we currently do not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, or will cause a significant change to our current accounting policies or internal controls over financial reporting for revenue recognition on boat, motor, and trailer sales, parts and service operations, brokerage commissions, slip and storage services, charter rentals, and fee income generated from finance and insurance products.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330)” (“ASU 2015-11”). The pronouncement was issued to simplify the measurement of inventory and change the measurement from lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. This pronouncement is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We elected to early adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or internal controls.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). This update requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and also disclose key information about leasing arrangements.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual period. While we are continuing to evaluate the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe the adoption of ASU 2016-02 may have a significant and material impact to our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet given our current lease agreements for our leased retail locations. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on our other unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on a preliminary assessment, we expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in a material increase in the assets and liabilities recorded on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. We are continuing our assessment, which may identify additional impacts this standard will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and internal controls over financial reporting.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”).  This update was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The amendments in this update cover such areas as the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies, the classification of those excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, an accounting policy election for forfeitures, the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes and still qualify for equity classification and the classification of those taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We elected to early adopt the new guidance in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 which required us to reflect any adjustments as of October 1, 2015, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. The primary effect of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital for all periods in fiscal 2016. This early adoption resulted in an approximately $5.2 million increase in deferred tax assets and retained earnings as of October 1, 2015, the beginning of fiscal 2016. The adoption in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of ASU 2016-09 resulted in additional income tax expense of $242,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and an additional income tax expense of $376,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 from the previously reported income tax provisions in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the third quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2016 .

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)” (“ASU 2017-04”).  This update removes the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. As a result, under ASU 2017-04, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the impairment loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.  The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or internal controls.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following discussion compares the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, with the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this report.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenue.   Revenue decreased $15.8 million, or 4.6%, to $329.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $345.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Of this decrease, $34.6 million was attributable to a 10.0% decrease in comparable-store sales, which was partially offset by an approximate $18.8 million increase related primarily to stores acquired that were not eligible for inclusion in the comparable-store base.  The decrease in our comparable-store revenue was due primarily to decreases in large boat and yacht sales.

Gross Profit.   Gross profit increased $5.9 million, or 7.5%, to $84.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $78.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 25.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 22.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily the result of improved margins on new and used boat sales. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily attributable to the increase in our gross margins. Additionally, our higher margin brokerage, finance and insurance products, service, parts and accessories products, storage, and charter services increased as a percentage of revenue, contributing to our overall margins increasing accordingly.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expense increased $5.2 million, or 9.6%, to $59.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $54.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 18.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 15.7% for the three months June 30, 2016. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions.

Interest Expense.   Interest expense increased $424,000, or 28.8%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Interest expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 0.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 0.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of increased borrowings.

Income Taxes.    Income tax expense decreased to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017   from $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Our effective income tax rate was 39.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The adoption in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of ASU 2016-09 resulted in an increase in income tax expense of $29,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $242,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 the effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased to 40.2%.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2017 Compared with Nine Months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenue.   Revenue increased $87.0 million, or 12.2%, to $801.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017, from $714.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. Of this increase, $39.0 million was attributable to a 5.5% increase in comparable-store sales and an approximate $48.0 million net increase related primarily to stores acquired, opened, or closed that were not eligible for inclusion in the comparable-store base.  The increase in our comparable-store sales was primarily due to incremental increases in new and used boat sales.  We believe that improving industry conditions resulting from improved economic conditions contributed to our comparable-store sales growth.

Gross Profit.   Gross profit increased $29.4 million, or 17.4%, to $199.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017, from $169.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue increased to 24.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 from 23.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue was primarily the result of improved margins on new and used boat sales. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily attributable to the increase in comparable-store sales and improved margins.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased $24.7 million, or 18.1%, to $161.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017, from $136.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 20.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2017, from 19.1% for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions and increased business .

Interest Expense.   Interest expense increased $1.2 million, or 28.7%, to $5.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 from $4.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.   Interest expense as a percentage of revenu e increased to 0.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 from 0.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 .  The increase in interest expense was primarily a result of increased borrowings.

Income Taxes.    Income tax expense increased to $12.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 from $11.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. Our effective income tax rate was 38.7% for the nine months ended June 30, 2017. The adoption in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of ASU 2016-09 resulted in an income tax benefit of $22,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2017, and an increase in income tax expense of $376,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.  As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 the effective income tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 increased to 40.4%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash needs are primarily for working capital to support operations, including new and used boat and related parts inventories, off-season liquidity, and growth through acquisitions and new store openings. Acquisitions and new store openings remain important strategies to our company, and we have recently completed certain acquisitions, and we plan to accelerate our growth through these strategies. However, we cannot predict the length of economic or financial conditions. We regularly monitor the aging of our inventories and current market trends to evaluate our current and future inventory needs. We also use this evaluation in conjunction with our review of our current and expected operating performance and expected business levels to determine the adequacy of our financing needs.

These cash needs have historically been financed with cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility. Our ability to utilize the Amended Credit Facility to fund operations depends upon the collateral levels and compliance with the covenants of the Amended Credit Facility. Turmoil in the credit markets and weakness in the retail markets may interfere with our ability to remain in compliance with the covenants of the Amended Credit Facility and therefore our ability to utilize the Amended Credit Facility to fund operations. As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended Credit Facility. We currently depend upon dividends and other payments from our dealerships and the Amended Credit Facility to fund our current operations and meet our cash needs. As 100% owner of each of our dealerships, we determine the amounts of such distributions subject to applicable law, and currently, no agreements exist that restrict this flow of funds from our dealerships.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 cash used in operating activities was approximately $5.7 million, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, cash provided by operating activities was approximately $24.0 million.   For the nine months ended June 30, 2017, cash used in operating activities was primarily related to an increase of inventory driven by timing of boats received, increases in accounts receivable, and decreases in customer deposits, partially offset by seasonal increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as our net income adjusted for non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization expense, deferred income tax provision, and stock-based compensation expense . For the nine months ended June 30, 2016, cash provided by operating activities was primarily related to our net income adjusted for non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization expenses, deferred income tax provision, stock based compensation expenses, seasonal increases in accounts payable, increases in customer deposits, and accrued expenses, partially offset by increases in inventory driven by timing of boats received and growth in the business, and increases in accounts receivable as a result of our relatively successful sales efforts at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, cash used in investing activities was approximately $30.1 million and $25.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, cash used in investing activities was primarily used to purchase inventory and property and equipment associated with business acquisitions and property and equipment associated with improving existing retail facilities .

For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, cash provided by financing activities was approximately $56.2 million and $24.3 million, respectively, and was primarily attributable to net short-term borrowings as a result of increased inventory levels and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from our stock based compensation plans, partially offset by the repurchase of common stock under the share repurchase program.

In May 2017, we amended and restated our Inventory Financing Agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”), originally entered into in June 2010, as subsequently amended, with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance LLC (formerly GE Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation). The May 2017 amendment and restatement extended the maturity date of the Credit Facility to October 2020, and the Amended Credit Facility includes two additional one-year extension periods, with lender approval. The May 2017 amendment and restatement, among other things, modified the amount of borrowing availability and maturity date of the Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Facility provides a floor plan financing commitment of up to $350.0 million, an increase from the previous limit of $300 million, subject to borrowing base availability resulting from the amount and aging of our inventory.

 

22


 

The Amended Credit Facility has certain financial covenants as specified in the agreement. The covenants include provisions that our leverage ratio must not exceed 2.75 to 1.0 and that our current ratio must be greater than 1.2 to 1.0. The interest rate for amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility is 345 basis points above the one-month LIBOR. There is an unused line f ee of ten basis points on the unused portion of the Amended Credit Facility .

Advances under the Amended Credit Facility are initiated by the acquisition of eligible new and used inventory or are re-advances against eligible new and used inventory that have been partially paid-off. Advances on new inventory will generally mature 1,080 days from the original invoice date. Advances on used inventory will mature 361 days from the date we acquire the used inventory. Each advance is subject to a curtailment schedule, which requires that we pay down the balance of each advance on a periodic basis starting after six months. The curtailment schedule varies based on the type and value of the inventory. The collateral for the Amended Credit Facility is all of our personal property with certain limited exceptions. None of our real estate has been pledged for collateral for the Amended Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2017, our indebtedness associated with financing our inventory and working capital needs totaled approximately $241.6 million. As of June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2017, the interest rate on the outstanding short-term borrowings was approximately 3.9% and 4.5%, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, our additional available borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility were approximately $49.4 million based upon the outstanding borrowing base availability. The aging of our inventory limits our borrowing capacity as defined curtailments reduce the allowable advance rate as our inventory ages.

Except as specified in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we have no material commitments for capital for the next 12 months. We believe that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to finance our operations for at least the next 12 months, except for possible significant acquisitions.

Impact of Seasonality and Weather on Operations

Our business, as well as the entire recreational boating industry, is highly seasonal, with seasonality varying in different geographic markets. With the exception of Florida, we generally realize significantly lower sales and higher levels of inventories, and related short-term borrowings, in the quarterly periods ending December 31 and March 31. The onset of the public boat and recreation shows in January generally stimulates boat sales and typically allows us to reduce our inventory levels and related short-term borrowings throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. Our business could become substantially more seasonal if we acquire dealers that operate in colder regions of the United States or close retail locations in warm climates.

Our business is also subject to weather patterns, which may adversely affect our results of operations. For example, prolonged or severe winter conditions, drought conditions (or merely reduced rainfall levels) or excessive rain, may limit access to area boating locations or render boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for our products and services. In addition, unseasonably cool weather and prolonged or severe winter conditions may lead to a shorter selling season in certain locations. Hurricanes and other storms could result in disruptions of our operations or damage to our boat inventories and facilities, as has been the case when Florida and other markets were affected by hurricanes. Although our geographic diversity is likely to reduce the overall impact to us of adverse weather conditions in any one market area, these conditions will continue to represent potential, material adverse risks to us and our future financial performance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2017, all of our short-term debt bore interest at a variable rate, tied to LIBOR as a reference rate. Changes in the underlying LIBOR interest rate on our short-term debt could affect our earnings. For example, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in the interest rate on our short-term debt would result in an increase of approximately $2.4 million in annual pre-tax interest expense. This estimated increase is based upon the outstanding balance of our short-term debt as of June 30, 2017 and assumes no mitigating changes by us to reduce the outstanding balances and no additional interest assistance that could be received from vendors due to the interest rate increase.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Products purchased from European-based and Chinese-based manufacturers are transacted in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate may impact the retail price at which we can sell foreign products. Accordingly, fluctuations in the value of other currencies compared with the U.S. dollar may impact the price points at which we can profitably sell such foreign products, and such price points may not be competitive with other products in the United States. Thus, such fluctuations in exchange rates ultimately

 

23


 

may impact the amount of revenue, cost of goods sold, cas h flows, and earnings we recognize for such foreign products. We cannot predict the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results. In certain cases, we may enter into foreign currency cash flow hedges to reduce the variability of cash flow s associated with forecasted purchases of boats and yachts from European-based and Chinese-based manufacturers. We are not currently engaged in foreign currency exchange hedging transactions to manage our foreign currency exposure. If and when we do engage in foreign currency exchange hedging transactions, there can be no assurance that our strategies will adequately protect our operating results from the effects of exchange rate fluctuations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Although our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

If a Vendor is disapproved for any reason set forth above, such disapproval will only affect Dealers ability to request, and Lenders obligation to make, subsequent Loans and will not require immediate repayment of previous advances with respect to inventory purchased from such disapproved Vendor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Agent may disapprove Sea Pro as a Vendor by written notice, and following such disapproval, Sea Pro shall cease to be a Vendor under this Agreement, if Sea Pro is disapproved at any time, in Agent s sole discretion, as a vendor with respect to Agent s general portfolio of financing.

 

(iv) Each Lender shall have the obligation to fund its Ratable Share of a Loan upon issuance by CDF of an Approval.

(v) On each Settlement Date on or before 2:00 p.m. central time, Agent shall deliver notice to each Lender of the amount of Loans Lender has funded and such Lender’s Ratable Share multiplied by Net Outstandings, and: (A) if the amount of Loans Lender has funded is less than Lender’s Ratable Share multiplied by the Net Outstandings calculated as of such Settlement Date, then Lender shall remit such deficiency to Agent (on behalf of CDF) by 5:00 p.m. central time on the Business Day immediately following such Settlement Date, and (B) if the amount of Loans Lender has funded is more than Lender’s Ratable Share multiplied by the Net Outstandings calculated as of such Settlement Date, then Agent (on behalf of CDF) will remit such excess to such Lender by 5:00 p.m. central time on the Business Day immediately following such Settlement Date. Each payment due to Agent or Lenders will be paid in immediately available funds according to the electronic transfer instructions set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto, and, if not timely paid in accordance with this Agreement, will bear interest until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Lender Rate.  If CDF is acting as Agent, it shall be deemed to have paid its deficiency or received its excess as set forth above on each Settlement Date.  Each Lender hereby waives any right it may now or in the future have to set-off its obligation to make any payment to CDF or Agent under this Agreement against any obligation of CDF or Agent to such Lender, whether under this Agreement or any other agreement between CDF and such Lender or Agent and such Lender .   

 

(vi) The amount of Loans each Lender has funded shall bear interest at the Lender Rate, as such rate may change pursuant to the terms of the applicable Program Terms Letter. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and assess for the actual number of days elapsed.  Provided Lender is not a Non-Funding Lender, then the amount of Monthly Interest, if any, payable to Lender, less any Administrative Fee due to Agent pursuant to a Fee Letter between Agent and Lender, shall be distributed by Agent to Lender monthly in arrears on the latter of: (A) the fifteenth (15 th ) day of the applicable month, or if the fifteenth (15 th ) is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, or (B) within five (5) Business Days after Agent’s receipt thereof from Dealers.  To the extent that Lender is entitled to receive interest income in excess of the Monthly Interest, if such additional interest has not previously been distributed to Lender, then Lender shall be entitled to receive an additional payment from Agent equivalent to Lender’s Ratable Share of such interest income.  Any amounts due to Lender for income in excess of the Monthly Interest shall be reflected and paid with Monthly Interest as set forth above.  Lenders acknowledge and agree that the rate of return paid on any Loan is dependent on numerous factors, including discounts and subsidies offered by Vendors.  Application of any Collections received by Agent as interest in cash or good collected funds representing payment of interest on the Loans may result in the payment of interest to Lender in excess of the rate set forth in this subsection.

7. Insurance .

 

(a) All risk of loss, damage to or destruction of Collateral shall at all times be on Dealers. Each Dealer shall keep all of its tangible Collateral insured for full value against all insurable risks, under policies delivered to Agent, on terms and with insurers reasonably acceptable to Agent, with loss payable to Agent on behalf of Lenders (with respect to any claim in excess of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) per occurrence), assignee or additional insured, as appropriate.  Such insurance shall be subject to cancellation or change only (i) upon ten (10) days written notice to Agent for non-payment of premium or (ii) upon thirty (30) days written notice to Agent for all other reasons, and shall provide that Agent’s interests will not be impaired by any failure of Dealers to comply with the terms of such insurance or by any exercise of remedies by Agent with respect to the property insured.  With respect to any claim during the continuance of any Default, Agent is authorized, but not required, to act as attorney‑in‑fact for each Dealer in adjusting and settling any insurance claims under any such policy and in endorsing any checks or drafts drawn by insurers.  To facilitate the exercise of such rights by Agent, each Dealer has executed and delivered to Agent a Power of Attorney, which Agent agrees not to exercise any rights under unless a Default has occurred and is continuing.  In addition, at any time (before and after the occurrence of any Default), (A) each Dealer shall promptly remit to Agent in the form received, with all necessary endorsements, all proceeds of such insurance which such Dealer may receive, and (B) Agent, at its election, shall either apply any proceeds of insurance it may receive toward payment of the Obligations or pay such proceeds to such Dealer or any other Dealer.

 

(b) Except as otherwise required by Section 7(a) of this Agreement, Dealers shall (i) keep their insurable property adequately insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers to such extent and against such risks, including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage, as is customary with companies similarly situated and in the same or similar businesses, (ii) maintain in full force and effect public liability and workers compensation insurance, in amounts customary for such similar companies to cover normal risks, by insurers reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (iii) maintain such other insurance as may be required by law or reasonably requested by Agent.  Dealers shall deliver evidence of renewal of each insurance policy on or before the date of its expiration, and from time to time shall deliver to Agent, on or before the date hereof, and thereafter upon demand, evidence of the maintenance of such insurance.  Dealers shall delivery promptly to Agent copies of all reports provided to insurers by any Dealer.

 

(c) The following notice is given pursuant to Section 180/10 of the Collateral Protection Act set forth in Chapter 815 Section 180/1 of the Illinois Compiled Statutes; nothing contained in such notice shall be deemed to limit or modify the terms of this Agreement:   Unless EACH Dealer provides evidence of THE insurance coverage required by SUCH DEALER’S Agreement WITH Agent and lenders, Agent may purchase insurance at such DEALER’S expense to protect Agent’s and lenders’ interest in SUCH Dealer’s collateral.  This insurance may, but need not, protect SUCH Dealer’s interest.  The coverage that Agent purchases may not pay any claim that SUCH Dealer makes or any claim that is made against SUCH Dealer in connection with the collateral.  SUCH Dealer may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent evidence that SUCH Dealer has obtained insurance as required under this Agreement.  If Agent purchases insurance for ANY collateral, DealerS will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including the insurance premium, interest and any other chaRges Agent may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance.  The costs of the insurance may be added to DEALERs’ total outstanding balance or obligation.  The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance A Dealer may be able to obtain on its own.

9. Payment Terms .  Each Dealer will pay Agent for the benefit of Lenders, the principal amount of the Obligations owed by such Dealer on each item of Collateral financed by Lenders upon the occurrence of any of the following events, subject to the Program Terms Letter: (a) when such Collateral is lost, stolen or materially damaged and such loss or damage is the subject of an insurance claim payable to Agent as loss payee for the benefit of Lenders, (i) a portion of the principal amount of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral equal to such principal amount, minus the insurance claim amount (net of any applicable deductible) immediately after such loss or damage or after the determination of the claim amount or the deductible amount, as applicable, and (ii) the remaining principal amount of the Obligations with respect to such Collateral immediately upon the earlier of (A) receipt of any proceeds of such insurance (including, without limitation, receipt of any proceeds made payable to such Dealer and Agent jointly) or rejection or denial of such claim and (B) thirty (30) days (or such later date as Agent may agree in writing) after such loss or damage; (b) when such Collateral is lost, stolen or materially damaged and such loss or damage is not the subject of an insurance claim payable to Agent as loss payee for the benefit of Lenders, immediately after such loss or damage; (c) when Collateral is sold, transferred, rented, leased, consigned (unless Dealer has complied with Agent’s documentation requirements and Agent has consented in writing to such consignment arrangement), otherwise disposed of, or its payment term has matured, immediately upon the earlier of (i) Dealer’s receipt of the proceeds thereof, and (ii) seven (7) calendar days after such occurrence; and (d) when otherwise required under the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, each Dealer will pay Agent the required principal amount of the Obligations owed Lenders on each item of Collateral financed by Lenders in strict accordance with any curtailment schedule or other curtailment or repayment provisions for such Collateral as described in the Program Terms Letter.  The initial payment terms, curtailment terms and advance rates with respect to Dealers’ financing program hereunder are set forth in the Program Terms Letter.  Subsequent financing program terms, or changes to Dealers’ then current financing program terms, may be set forth in an amended Program Terms Letter executed by the parties thereto.  If a Dealer is required to make immediate payment to Agent of any past due obligation discovered during any Collateral review, or at any other time, Agent’s acceptance of such payment shall not be construed to have waived or amended the terms of its financing program.  Each Dealer will send all payments to Agent as directed.  Agent may apply: (1) payments to reduce finance charges first and then principal, regardless of a Dealer’s instructions; and (2) principal payments to the oldest (earliest) invoice for Collateral financed by Lenders, but, in any event, all principal payments, may, in Agent’s sole discretion, first be applied to such Collateral which is sold, lost, stolen, damaged, rented, leased, or otherwise disposed of or unaccounted for.  Any Vendor Credit granted to any Dealer for any Collateral will not reduce the Obligations Dealers owe Lenders until Agent has received payment therefor in cash.  Each Dealer will: (A) pay Agent even if any Collateral is defective or fails to conform to any warranties extended by any third party; and (B) indemnify and hold Agent and each Lender harmless against all claims and defenses asserted by any buyer of any Collateral.  Each payment under the Loan Documents shall be paid in U.S. dollars and without setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. Each Dealer waives all rights of setoff such Dealer may have against Agent or any Lender.  Any payment hereunder which would otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, shall be due on the next succeeding Business Day, with such extension of time included in any calculation of applicable finance charges.  In addition to the other provisions of this Agreement, in order to adequately secure Dealers’

Obligations to Agent and Lenders, Dealers shall, at Agent s request, immediately pay Agent the amount necessary to reduce the sum of outstanding advances hereunder to an amount which does not exceed the amount available to be borrowed pursuant to the provisions of the Program Terms Letter.  

 

10. Calculation of Charges .

 

(a) Dealers shall pay fees, charges and interest (collectively, “ Charges ”) with respect to each advance in accordance with this Agreement and pursuant to the terms of the Program Terms Letter.  Dealers shall pay Agent its customary Charges for any check or other item which is returned unpaid to Agent.  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the following additional provisions shall be applicable to Charges:  (i) any reference to “ One month Libor ” rate shall mean for any calendar month the “One month Libor” rate published in the “Money Rates” column of The Wall Street Journal on the first Business Day of such month; (ii) all Charges shall be paid by Dealers monthly pursuant to the terms of the billing statement in which such Charges appear; (iii) interest on each advance and principal amount of the Obligations related thereto shall be computed each calendar month on the sum of the daily balances thereof during such month divided by thirty (30) and (A) in the case where a monthly rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by the monthly rate provided for in this Agreement; or (B) in the case where an annual rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by one-twelfth of the annual rate provided for in this Agreement; or (C) in the case where a daily rate of interest is provided for, multiplied by such daily rate and multiplied by thirty (30); (iv) interest on an advance shall begin to accrue on the “ Start Date ” which shall be defined as the earlier of: (A) the invoice date referred to in the Vendor’s Invoice; or (B) the ship date referred to in the Vendor’s Invoice; or (C) the date any one or more Lenders make such advance; provided , however , if a Vendor fails to fully pay, by honoring or paying any Lender Credit or otherwise, the interest or other cost of financing such inventory during the period between the Start Date and the end of the Free Floor Period, then Dealers shall pay such interest to Agent  on behalf of Lenders on demand as if there were no Free Floor Period with respect to such inventory; (v) for the purpose of computing Charges, any payment will be credited pursuant to Agent’s payment recognition policy, as in effect from time to time; and (vi) advances or any part thereof not paid when due (and Charges not paid when due, at the option of Agent, shall become part of the principal amount of the Obligations and) shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(b) Agent and Lenders intend to strictly conform to the usury laws governing this Agreement. Regardless of any provision contained herein, in any Transaction Statement, or in any other document, neither Agent nor any Lender shall ever be deemed to have contracted for, charged or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest, any amount in excess of the maximum amount allowed by applicable law.  If Agent or any Lender ever receives any amount which, if considered to be interest, would exceed the maximum amount permitted by law, Agent or such Lender will apply such excess amount to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance which any Dealer owes, and then will pay any remaining excess to such Dealer.  In determining whether the interest paid or payable exceeds the highest lawful rate, Dealers, Agent and each Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (1) characterize any non-principal payment (other than payments which are expressly designated as interest payments hereunder) as an expense or fee rather than as interest, (2) exclude voluntary pre-payments and the effect thereof, and (3) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire term of this Agreement so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term. Agent will recognize and credit payments made by check, ACH, federal wire, or other acceptable means, according to its payment recognition policies from time to time in effect, or as otherwise agreed.  Information regarding Agent payment recognition policies is available from Dealers’ Agent representative or the Agent website, or will be communicated pursuant to Section 11(b) of this Agreement.

 

11. Billing Statement/Fees; Right to Modify Charges and Other Terms .

 

(a) Agent will transmit or otherwise send to each Dealer a monthly billing statement identifying all charges due on such Dealer’s account pursuant to this Agreement.  The charges specified on each billing statement will be (1) due and payable no later than the fifteenth (15 th ) day of the month in which such billing statement is transmitted to or received by Dealer, and (2) an account stated, unless Agent receives a Dealer’s written objection thereto within fifteen (15) days after it is transmitted or otherwise sent to Dealers.  If Agent does not receive, by the 25 th day of any given month, payment of all charges accrued to a Dealer’s account with any one or more Lenders during the immediately preceding month, Dealers will (to the extent allowed by law and if requested by Agent) pay Agent a late fee equal to the greater of five dollars ($5.00) or five percent (5%) of the amount of such charges (payment of such fee does not waive the default caused by the late payment).  Agent may adjust the billing statement at any time to conform to applicable law and this Agreement.

(b) Agent may charge one or more fees in connection with the servicing and administration of a Dealer’s account, for its own account as set forth herein and in the Program Terms Letter (and for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders other than CDF, in its capacity as Agent, shall have no interest in any such fees).

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Default, Agent, acting on behalf of Lenders pursuant to Section 21(a) , shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction and other applicable law and all the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement.  Upon the occurrence of a Default, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall:

 

(i) terminate any obligations Agent or any Lender has under this Agreement and any outstanding credit approvals immediately and/or declare any and all Obligations immediately due and payable without notice or demand;

 

(ii) exercise control over any Deposit Accounts (as defined in Article 9 of the Illinois Uniform Commercial Code) included in the Collateral and apply any balances on deposit therein to the Obligations in such order and amount as Agent may elect;

 

(iii) enter any premises of any one or more of Dealers, with or without process of law, without force, to search for, take possession of, and remove the Collateral, or any part thereof;

20. Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

(a) Binding Effect .  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Dealers, Agent and the Lenders and when Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it.  Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of Dealers, Agent and each Lender and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly provided herein, no Dealer shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

(b) Right to Assign .  Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign (a “ Sale ”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Allocation and its rights and obligations with respect to any Loan pursuant to any Loan Document) to (i) any existing Lender, (ii) any Affiliate of any existing Lender or (iii) any other Person (other than a Disqualified Person) approved in writing by Agent and a Dealer, which Dealer approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed to have been given if no Dealer provides a response to a request for approval within ten (10) Business Days after such request is sent (provided that no Dealer approval shall be required if any Default has occurred and is continuing); provided, however, that (w) for each Loan pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan Document, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable assignment) of the Allocation subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’ s (together with its Affiliates) entire interest in such facility or is made with the prior consent of Agent, (x) such Sales shall be effective only upon the acknowledgement in writing of such Sale by Agent, and (y) interest accrued prior to and through the date of any such Sale may not be assigned.  “ Disqualified Person ” means any business competitor of any Dealer that is in the same or similar line of business as any Dealer (other than the business of providing financial services) and such competitor has been identified as such in a writing by any Dealer delivered to Agent.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 20, any Lender may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any prospective assignee, SPV or rating agency rating the obligations of such Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, CDF, as Agent and/or a Lender, has the right to complete a Sale of all or any portion of its interest in the Loan and Loan Documents to any Person in connection with a sale or other transfer of all or a material portion of CDF’s business to a third party, without the consent of any Dealer or any Lender.

(c) Procedure .  The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Agent (or, if previously agreed with Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the Assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Loan Document subject to such Sale, any tax forms required by the assignee to be delivered and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 to Agent, unless waived or reduced by Agent; provided, that (i) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (ii) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale (unless waived or reduced by Agent).  Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such Assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of subsection 20(b), upon Agent (and Dealers, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Agent shall record or cause the information contained in such Assignment to be recorded in a record of ownership kept by Agent.

(d) Effectiveness .  Subject to the recording of an Assignment by Agent in a record of ownership, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Transactions Statement have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Statements, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(e) Participants and Grant of Option to Fund to SPVs .  In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 20, each Lender may, (i) with notice to Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (ii) without notice to or consent from Agent or the Dealers, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (A) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (B) such Lender s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Dealers and other Lenders towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in any register maintained by Agent, except that each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case shall an SPV granted an option pursuant to this clause (e) or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (C) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (v) of Section 17(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled.  

(f) Assignments to Affiliate SPVs .  In addition to the other rights provided elsewhere in this Section 20 , each Lender that is an Affiliate of the Agent may, with notice to Agent in such form as shall be acceptable to the Agent (but without the consent of any Person and without compliance with any limitation or procedure specified in subsection 20(b) or 20(c) ), sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or any portion of its rights, title or interests hereunder with respect to any Loans or other Obligations (including any interest accrued or to accrue thereon) to an SPV that is an Affiliate of such Lender, and such SPV may thereafter, with notice to Agent, assign such Obligation to any other SPV that is an Affiliate of such Lender or re-assign all or a portion of its interests in any Obligations to the Lender holding the related Allocation.  Upon any assignment pursuant to this clause (f), any assignee SPV shall have all the rights of a Lender hereunder, including the right to receive all payments with respect to the assigned Obligations; provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such assignment, no such assignee SPV shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and such Lender (and not such SPV) shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender to continue to make Loans hereunder.    

(g) Agreements with Respect to SPVs . No party hereto shall institute against any SPV that funds or purchases any Obligation pursuant to clauses (e) or (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding indebtedness of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to be reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability).  The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Loans and the payment in full of the Obligations.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 20, any SPV may disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency rating the obligations of such SPV.  For the avoidance of doubt, an SPV that is a securitization trust formed by or at the direction of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, as depositor, shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Lender.  

(h) Participant Register . Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Dealers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person other than Agent except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the

(i) Each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Dealer) promptly upon demand, severally and ratably, for any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and other expenses paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Dealer) that may be incurred by Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement of, or the taking of any other action (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding (including, without limitation, preparation for and/or response to any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto) or otherwise) in respect of, or legal advice with respect to its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

(ii) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Dealer), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including, to the extent not indemnified by Dealer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

(iii) To the extent required by any applicable law, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding tax.  If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), or Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender under a Loan Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

NOTE: PORTIONS OF THIS EXHIBIT INDICATED BY “[****]” ARE SUBJECT TO A CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST, AND HAVE BEEN OMITTED FROM THIS EXHIBIT.  COMPLETE, UNREDACTED COPIES OF THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AS PART OF THIS COMPANY’S CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUEST.

 

(i) Release of Collateral or Guarantors .  Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (ii) below, release or subordinate) any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders against (i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Dealer in a transaction permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted as a purchase money security interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Lenders, upon (A) termination of this Agreement, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations under the Loan Documents that Agent has theretofore been notified in writing by the holder of such Obligation are then due and payable, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations, in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to Agent and each Lender that is, or may be, owed such Obligations (excluding contingent Obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and (D) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Agent and the Lenders of liability releases from the Lenders each in form and substance acceptable to Agent.

22. Non-Funding Lenders; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Non-Funding Lenders .

(i) Responsibility .  The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Loan or any payment required by it under any Loan Document on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “ Other Lender ”) of its obligations to make such Loan or make any other such required payment on such date, and neither Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any Other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or make any other required payment under any Loan Document.

(ii) Voting Rights .  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its Loans included in the determination of “Required Lenders”) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, provided that (A)  the Allocation of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased, extended or reinstated, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven, and (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced in such a manner that by its terms affects such Non-Funding Lender more adversely than other Lenders, in each case without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender.  

(iii) Payments to a Non-Funding Lender .  Agent shall be authorized to use all payments received by Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Lenders.  Following such payment in full of the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, Agent shall be entitled to hold such funds as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Allocation and to use such amount to pay such Non-Funding Lender’s funding obligations hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in cash and this Agreement terminated.  Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender.  With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Loans, any amounts applied by Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Loan and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the proceeds of such Loans shall be applied to pay the unpaid principal of the Loans owing to the other Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Loans are held by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Shares.  Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to the Loans. In the event that Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (iv) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender.

(iv) Cure .  A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender (A) fully pays to Agent the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon and (B) timely funds the next Loan required to be funded by such Lender or makes the next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender.  Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

(v) Fees .  A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Dealers shall not be required to pay, such Lender s portion of the Unused Line Fee (set forth in the Program Terms Letter) during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof.  

(b) Replacement of Lenders .  Within forty-five (45) days after any failure by any Lender other than Agent or an Affiliate of Agent to consent to a requested amendment, waiver or modification to any Loan Document in which Required Lenders have already consented to such amendment, waiver or modification but the consent of each Lender (or each Lender directly affected thereby, as applicable) is required with respect thereto, Dealers may, at their option, notify Agent and such non-consenting Lender of Dealers’ intention to obtain, at Dealers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“ Replacement Lender ”) for such non-consenting Lender, which Replacement Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent.  In the event the Dealers obtain a Replacement Lender within sixty (60) days following notice of its intention to do so, such non-consenting Lender shall sell and assign its Loans and remaining Allocation to such Replacement Lender, at par, provided that the Dealers have reimbursed such non-consenting Lender for its costs for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment.  In the event that a replaced Lender does not execute an Assignment pursuant to Section 20(c) of this Agreement within five (5) Business Days after receipt by such replaced Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this section and presentation to such replaced Lender of an Assignment evidencing an assignment pursuant to this section, the Dealers shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute such an Assignment on behalf of such replaced Lender, and any such Assignment so executed by the Dealers, the Replacement Lender and Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section 22(b) and Section 20(c).  Upon any such Assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of Section 20(c), such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

 

23. Notices .  Except as required by law or as otherwise provided herein, all notices or other communications to be given under the Agreement or under the UCC shall be in writing served either personally, by deposit with a reputable overnight courier with charges prepaid, or by deposit in the United States mail, first‑class postage prepaid or provided for, addressed, as applicable, to (a) Dealers at their chief executive offices shown below or to any office to which Agent sends billing statements, (b) to Agent at its address shown beneath its signature hereunder, to the attention of its Credit Department, (c) to any Lender at the address such Lender shall designate on the Loan Document, or (d) at such other address designated by such party by notice to the other.  Any such communication shall be deemed to have been given upon delivery in the case of personal delivery, one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the United States mail except that any notice of change of address shall not be effective until actually received.  

 

24. Severability .  If any provision of this Agreement or its application is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will not be impaired or affected and will remain binding and enforceable.

 

25. Receipt of Agreement .  Each Dealer acknowledges that it has received a true and complete copy of this Agreement.  Each Dealer has read and understands this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Agent and each Lender may rely on any facsimile copy, electronic data transmission, or electronic data storage of: this Agreement, any Transaction Statement, billing statement, financing statement, authorization to pre-file financing statements, invoice from a Vendor, financial statements or other reports, which will be deemed an original, and the best evidence thereof for all purposes.

 

26. Acceptance by Agent .  If Agent is the sole Lender, Agent may accept this Agreement by issuance of an approval to a Vendor for the purchase of inventory by Dealers or by making an advance hereunder.  

 

27. Miscellaneous . Time is of the essence regarding each Dealer’s performance of its obligations to Agent and Lenders.  Each Dealer’s liability to Agent and Lenders is direct and unconditional and will not be affected by the release or nonperfection of any security interest granted hereunder. Subject to the consent of each Lender, Agent may refrain from or postpone enforcement of this Agreement or any other agreements between Agent and a Dealer without prejudice, and the failure to strictly enforce these agreements will not create a course of dealing which waives, amends or modifies such agreements. Any waiver by Agent of a Default shall only be effective if approved by Lenders pursuant to Section 17(a) and transmitted to a Dealer in a writing signed by Agent.  The express terms of this Agreement will not be modified by any course of dealing, usage of trade, or custom of trade which may deviate from the terms hereof.  If a Dealer fails to pay any taxes, fees or other obligations which may materially impair Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in the Collateral, or fails to keep any Collateral insured, Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Lenders,  may, but shall not be required to, pay such amounts.  Such paid amounts will be: (a) additional Obligations which Dealers owe under this Agreement, which are subject to finance charges as provided herein and shall be secured by the Collateral; and (b) due and payable immediately in full upon demand to Dealers.  Section titles used herein are for convenience only, and do not define or limit the contents of any Section.  All words used herein shall be understood and construed to be of such number and gender as the circumstances may require.

30. BINDING ARBITRATION .

 

(a) Arbitrable Claims . Except as otherwise specified below, all actions, disputes, claims and controversies under common law, statutory law or in equity of any type or nature whatsoever, whether arising before or after the date of this Agreement, and whether directly or indirectly relating to: (i) this Agreement and/or any amendments and addenda hereto, or the breach, invalidity or termination hereof; (ii) any previous or subsequent agreement between Agent and any one or more Lenders and/or any one or more Dealers; (iii) any act committed by Agent or by any parent company, subsidiary or affiliated company of Agent (the “ Agent Companies ”), or by any employee, agent, officer or director of an Agent Company whether or not arising within the scope and course of employment or other contractual representation of the Agent Companies provided that such act arises under a relationship, transaction or dealing between and any one or more Lenders and/or any one or more Dealers; and/or (iv) any other relationship, transaction or dealing between or among Agent and any one or more Dealers (collectively the “ Disputes ”), will be subject to and resolved by binding arbitration.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that either party may pursue claims against the other that do not exceed Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000.00) in the aggregate in a court of competent jurisdiction.  Service of arbitration claims shall be acceptable if made by U.S. mail or overnight delivery to the address for the party described herein.

 

(b) Administrative Body .  All arbitration hereunder will be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of either: (i) The American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”); or (ii) United States Arbitration & Mediation (“ USA&M ”).  The party first filing an arbitration claim shall designate which arbitration forum and rules are to be applied for all disputes between the parties. The arbitration rules are currently found at www.adr.org for AAA, and at www.usam-midwest.com for USA&M.

(c) Hearings .  Each party hereby consents to a documentary hearing for all arbitration claims by submitting the dispute to the arbitrator(s) by written briefs and affidavits, along with relevant documents. However, arbitration claims will be submitted by way of an oral hearing if any party requests an oral hearing within forty (40) days after service of the claim and that party remits the appropriate deposit for fees and arbitrator compensation within ten (10) days of making the request.    Each party agrees that failure to timely pay all fees and arbitrator compensation billed to the party requesting the oral hearing will be deemed such party s consent to submitting the Dispute to the arbitrator on documents and such party s waiver of its request for an oral hearing.  The site of all oral arbitration hearings will be in the Division of the Federal Judicial District in which the designated arbitration association maintains a regional office that is closest to Dealers.

 

(d) Discovery .  Discovery permitted in any arbitration proceeding commenced hereunder is limited as follows. No later than forty (40) days after the filing and service of a claim for arbitration, the parties in contested cases will exchange detailed statements setting forth the facts supporting the claim(s) and all defenses to be raised during the arbitration, and a list of all exhibits and witnesses. No later than twenty-one (21) days prior to the oral arbitration hearing, the parties will exchange a final list of all exhibits and all witnesses, including any designation of any expert witness(es) together with a summary of their testimony; a copy of all documents and a detailed description of any property to be introduced at the hearing. Under no circumstances will the use of interrogatories, requests for admission, requests for the production of documents or the taking of depositions be permitted. However, in the event of the designation of any expert witness(es), the following will occur: (i) all information and documents relied upon by the expert witness(es) will be delivered to the opposing party; (ii) the opposing party will be permitted to depose the expert witness(es); (iii) the opposing party will be permitted to designate rebuttal expert witness(es); and (iv) the arbitration hearing will be continued to the earliest possible date that enables the foregoing limited discovery to be accomplished.

 

(e) Exemplary or Punitive Damages .  The arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to award exemplary or punitive damages.

 

(f) Confidentiality of Awards .  All arbitration proceedings, including testimony or evidence at hearings, will be kept confidential, although any award or order rendered by the arbitrator(s) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement may be confirmed as a judgment or order in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction within the federal judicial district which includes the residence of the party against whom such award or order was entered. This Agreement concerns transactions involving commerce among the several states. The Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 et seq., as amended (“ FAA ”) will govern all arbitration(s) and confirmation proceedings hereunder.

 

(g) Prejudgment and Provisional Remedies .  Nothing herein will be construed to prevent Agent’s or a Dealer’s use of bankruptcy, receivership, injunction, repossession, replevin, claim and delivery, sequestration, seizure, attachment, foreclosure, and/or any other prejudgment or provisional action or remedy relating to any Collateral for any current or future debt owed by either party to the other. Any such action or remedy will not waive Agent’s or a Dealer’s right to compel arbitration of any Dispute.

 

(h) Attorneys’ Fees .  If either a Dealer or Agent brings any other action for judicial relief with respect to any Dispute (other than those set forth in Sections 30(a) or 30(g) of this Agreement), the party bringing such action will be liable for and immediately pay all of the other party’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred to stay or dismiss such action and remove or refer such Dispute to arbitration. If either a Dealer or Agent brings or appeals an action to vacate or modify an arbitration award and such party does not prevail, such party will pay all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the other party in defending such action.  Additionally, if a Dealer sues Agent or institutes any arbitration claim or counterclaim against Agent in which Agent is the prevailing party, Dealers will pay all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Agent in the course of defending such action or proceeding.

(i) Limitations .  Any arbitration proceeding must be instituted: (i) with respect to any Dispute for the collection of any debt owed by either party to the other, within two (2) years after the date the last payment by or on behalf of the payor was received and applied in respect of such debt by the payee; and (ii) with respect to any other Dispute, within two (2) years after the date the incident giving rise thereto occurred, whether or not any damage was sustained or capable of ascertainment or either party knew of such incident.  Failure to institute an arbitration proceeding within such period will constitute an absolute bar and waiver to the institution of any proceeding, whether arbitration or a court proceeding, with respect to such Dispute.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this limitations provision will be suspended temporarily as of the date any of the following events occur and will not resume until the date following the date either party is no longer subject to (A) bankruptcy, (B) receivership, (C) any proceeding regarding an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (D) any legal proceeding, civil or criminal, which prohibits either party from foreclosing any interest it might have in the collateral of the other party.  

 

(j) Survival After Termination .  The agreement to arbitrate will survive the termination of this Agreement.

31. Multiple Dealers; Joint and Several Liability; Designation of Authorized Representatives .

 

(a) All Loans and advances by Lenders to any Dealer and all other Obligations of any Dealer shall constitute one general obligation of all of the Dealers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dealers shall be primarily and jointly and severally liable for all Obligations of any Dealer under this Agreement and any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent a Dealer is deemed to be a guarantor of another Dealer hereunder, such Dealer’s liability for any credit extended to or for the benefit of such other Dealer shall be deemed to be a guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely a guaranty of collection. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Dealer hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notices of any nature whatsoever with respect to any of the Obligations, and any requirement that Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Dealer, any other Person or any Collateral. Each Dealer agrees that any rights of subrogation, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights it may have against any other Dealer with respect to its liability hereunder or otherwise, whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law, shall be subject, junior and subordinate in all respect to all Obligations of such Dealer under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and that the enforcement of such rights shall be stayed until such time as the Dealers shall have indefeasibly paid in full all of the Obligations and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any duty to make a Loan to or for the benefit of any Dealer. The liability of each Dealer shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any other agreement between or among Agent, Dealers and, if applicable, Lenders (ii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty or any release of any guarantor or any other Person liable in whole or in part for all or any of the Obligations, (iii) the disallowance or avoidance of all or any portion the claim(s) of Agent or any Lender for repayment of the Obligations of any guarantor to Agent or any interest of Agent or any Lender in any security for such Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, a Dealer or a guarantor or any other surety.

 

(b) Each Dealer (each, a “ Principal ”) hereby appoints each other Dealer (each, a “ Dealer Representative ”) as the Principal’s agent and attorney-in-fact (1) to take any action, (2) to execute any document or instrument, (3) to consent or agree to any amendment or other modification of this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and Lender and/or any waiver of or departure from any of the terms hereof or thereof, (4) to perform any Obligation of the Principal, and (5) to give or receive any notice by or to any Dealer hereunder or thereunder; and in each case without regard to whether any such action is done in the name of a Dealer Representative or a Principal and, if done in the name of a Dealer Representative, without regard to whether such Dealer Representative’s capacity as agent or attorney-in-fact is so designated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Dealer Representative may request extensions of credit to or on behalf of any one or more of the Dealers and/or incur any other Obligations for the account of any one or more of the Dealers, and in any such event all of the Dealers shall be fully and jointly and severally bound by and liable for the actions of such Dealer Representative. Lender shall be entitled to rely absolutely and without duty of inquiry or investigation upon any agreement, request, communication or other notice given by a Dealer Representative under this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and Lender (including without limitation, any request by a Dealer Representative to make credit extensions to or on behalf of itself and/or any one or more other Dealers) until three (3) Business Days after Lender shall have received written notice from each Principal of the revocation of this agency and power of attorney, which revocation shall constitute a Default.

(c) Each Dealer hereby authorizes any officer (and the Cash Manager and Treasury Manager in connection with (i) remittances to and from the [****], and (ii) requests pre-owned inventory advances pursuant to Section 2(b) of this Agreement) to act on behalf of such Dealer in connection with this Agreement, the certificates and documents contemplated hereby, and the transactions referenced herein and therein.  Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely absolutely and without duty of inquiry or investigation upon any agreement, request, communication or other notice given by such authorized persons under this Agreement and/or any other agreements between or among any one or more of the Dealers and Agent (including without limitation, any request by such authorized representative to make credit extensions to or on behalf of such Dealer) until three (3) Business Days after Agent shall have received written notice from such Dealer of the revocation of such Person’s authority and the identity of each additional Person authorized to act on behalf of such Dealer thereafter.

 

32. Governing Law .  This Agreement and all agreements between or among Agent and any one or more Lenders and/or any one or more Dealers have been substantially negotiated and will be substantially performed in the state of Illinois. All Disputes will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of such state, except to the extent inconsistent with the provisions of the FAA, which will control and govern all arbitration proceedings hereunder.

 

33. INVALIDITY/UNENFORCEABILITY OF BINDING ARBITRATION . IF THIS AGREEMENT IS FOUND TO BE NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE WILL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY.  DEALERS AND AGENT WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.  SIMILARLY, IF THIS AGREEMENT OR A PARTICULAR DISPUTE HEREUNDER IS NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, DEALERS HEREBY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY LOCAL, STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN ILLINOIS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION WHICH DEALERS MAY HAVE BASED ON IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS TO THE CONDUCT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
