CLICK HERE to learn more about the lawsuit.

Important deadline: Investors who purchased or acquired Malibu Boats securities during the Class Period may, no later than June 28, 2024, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class. 

Malibu Boats is a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of recreational powerboats, including performance sport, sterndrive, and outboard boats. The Company sells boats via a network of independent dealers, including dealers operating under the common control of Tommy's Boats ("Tommy's"). In fiscal year 2023, sales to Tommy's dealers represented approximately 10.7% of the Company's consolidated net sales and approximately 23.3% of consolidated sales for Malibu brand boats.

The truth regarding Malibu Boats' sales performance emerged on April 11, 2024, after the market closed, when Malibu Boats revealed that Tommy's had filed a lawsuit against the Company. The suit alleged the Company "engaged in an elaborate scheme" to "pump nearly $100 million" worth of inventory into Tommy dealerships since late 2022 to "artificially inflate Malibu's sales performance."

Following this news, the Company's stock price fell $3.34, or 7.99%, to close at $38.48 per share on April 12, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume. The Company's common stock price continued to fall the next consecutive trading session, falling $2.34 or 6% to close at $36.14 per share on April 15, on unusually heavy trading volume.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation. The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff selects counsel to represent the lead plaintiff and the class and these attorneys, if approved by the court, are lead or class counsel. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Communicating with any counsel is not necessary to participate or share in any recovery achieved in this case. Any member of the purported class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of his/her choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an inactive class member.
