Mar. 31, 2015
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement	Income Taxes and Tax Receivable Agreement Malibu Boats, Inc. is taxed as a C corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and is therefore subject to both federal and state taxation at a corporate level. The LLC continues to operate in the United States as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Income taxes are computed in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, and reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding income tax amounts. The Company has deferred tax assets and liabilities and maintains valuation allowances where it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. To the extent the Company determines that it will not realize the benefit of some or all of its deferred tax assets, such deferred tax assets will be adjusted through the Company’s provision for income taxes in the period in which this determination is made. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had recorded no valuation allowances against deferred tax assets. The Company’s consolidated interim effective tax rate is based upon expected annual income from operations, statutory tax rates and tax laws in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Significant or unusual items, including adjustments to accruals for tax uncertainties, are recognized in the quarter in which the related event occurs. The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.4% and 0.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The principal differences in the Company's effective tax rate and the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 relate to the impact of the non-controlling interests in the LLC, which is a pass-through entity for U.S. federal tax purposes, and the impact of an out-of-period state deferred tax adjustment of $844 primarily associated with benefits recognized for the Tennessee jobs tax credit identified and recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The out-of-period state deferred tax adjustment is reflected as a reduction of the Company's provision for income taxes in the current period. The Company believes the out-of-period tax adjustment is not material to fiscal 2015 or previously issued financial statements. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 also reflects the impact of the Company's share of the LLC's permanent items such as stock compensation expense attributable to profits interests as well as nondeductible offering and acquisition related costs. The Company recorded $1,479 of net deferred tax liabilities in connection with the acquisition of Malibu Boats Pty Ltd. This net deferred tax liability represents the tax effects of fair value adjustments that were recorded with no corresponding adjustment to the tax basis of underlying assets and liabilities as the transaction was non-taxable. Tax Receivable Agreement As a result of exchanges of LLC Units into Class A Common Stock and purchases by the Company of LLC Units from holders of LLC Units, the Company will become entitled to a proportionate share of the existing tax basis of the assets of the LLC at the time of such exchanges or purchases. In addition, such exchanges and purchases of LLC Units are expected to result in increases in the tax basis of the assets of the LLC that otherwise would not have been available. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amount of tax that the Company would otherwise be required to pay in the future. These increases in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. In connection with the Recapitalization and IPO in fiscal 2014, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with the pre-IPO owners of the LLC that provides for the payment by the Company to the pre-IPO owners (or their permitted assignees) of 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that the Company is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to the Company entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including those attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These payment obligations are obligations of the Company and not of the LLC. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefit deemed realized by the Company will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of the Company (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that the Company would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of the LLC as a result of the purchases or exchanges, and had the Company not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Tax Receivable Agreement further provides that, upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the Company (or its successor) would owe to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement that would be based on certain assumptions, including a deemed exchange of LLC Units and that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax basis and other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company also is entitled to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, which, if terminated, would obligate the Company to make early termination payments to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC. In addition, a pre-IPO owner may elect to unilaterally terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to such pre-IPO owner, which would obligate the Company to pay to such existing owner certain payments for tax benefits received through the taxable year of the election. In connection with completion of the follow-on offering on July 15, 2014, the Company recorded deferred tax assets of $38,499 associated with basis differences in assets upon acquiring the additional interest in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC and in anticipation of making an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company also recorded a tax receivable agreement liability of $34,028 representing 85% of the tax savings that the Company will receive in connection with the Section 754 election. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had recorded deferred tax assets of $56,802 associated with basis differences in assets upon acquiring an interest in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC. The aggregate tax receivable agreement liabilities were $47,664 representing 85% of the tax savings that the Company will receive in connection with the anticipated Section 754 election. No amounts are currently due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In accordance with the Tax Receivable Agreement, the first payment is anticipated to occur 45 days after filing the federal tax return due on March 15, 2016.
