BRP PRESENTS ITS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027

BRP grew revenue but swung to a quarterly loss as tariffs and a supplier issue compressed margins, while full-year guidance was raised but remains below FY2026 earnings levels.

BRP (DOO) reported Q2 FY2027 revenues of $2,236.8 million, up 18.5% year over year, but posted a net loss of $136.8 million.

Growth was driven mainly by higher off-road vehicle (ORV) shipments and favourable side-by-side (SSV) mix, while lower personal watercraft (PWC) volumes weighed on Seasonal Products. Gross margin fell to 11.7% from 21.1%, hurt by U.S. Section 232 tariffs and a supplier financial restructuring that reduced gross profit by $74.8 million and 330 basis points. Normalized EBITDA dropped 34.9% to $138.8 million and normalized diluted EPS declined to a loss of $0.18.

For FY2027, BRP now guides to total revenues of $9.225–$9.475 billion, normalized EBITDA of $1.025–$1.075 billion, normalized diluted EPS of $4.00–$4.50, and net income of $160–$195 million. Q3 normalized EPS is expected to be down about 50%–60% versus last year.

Key Terms

normalized ebitda, normalized diluted eps, section 232 tariffs, non-ifrs measures
4 terms
normalized ebitda financial
"Normalized EBITDA of $138.8 million, a decrease of 34.9% compared to last year"
Normalized EBITDA is a measure of a company's profitability that adjusts earnings to remove irregular or one-time items, such as unusual expenses or income, to reflect its typical operating performance. It helps investors compare companies more accurately by presenting a clearer picture of ongoing profitability, free from short-term fluctuations or special circumstances that might distort the results.
normalized diluted eps financial
"Normalized Diluted EPS [1] [2] | 5.21 | $4.00 to $4.50"
Normalized diluted EPS is a per-share profit figure that shows a company’s recurring earnings after assuming all potential shares (like options or convertible securities) are converted, and after removing one-time gains or losses and other unusual items. Investors use it like a cleaned-up yardstick to compare underlying profitability across quarters and companies, because it smooths out temporary spikes or drops and reflects earnings available to all possible shareholders.
section 232 tariffs regulatory
"primarily due to the impacts of Section 232 tariffs on Steel, Aluminum and Copper"
A U.S. law authority that lets the government impose import duties if certain goods are judged to threaten national security, commonly used for metals like steel or aluminum. For investors, these tariffs act like a sudden price hike or import tax on a company's raw materials or foreign competitors, which can raise costs, change profit margins, shift supply chains, and alter competitive advantage across affected industries.
non-ifrs measures financial
"See "Non-IFRS Measures" section of this press release"
Non-IFRS measures are financial figures that companies create on their own to show aspects of their performance, beyond what standard accounting rules require. They can help investors better understand how a company is really doing by highlighting information that might be more relevant or easier to interpret, much like a sports coach emphasizes certain stats to showcase team strengths not captured by official scores.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

The three-month period ended July 31, 2026 marked the second consecutive quarter of Fiscal 2027 with double-digit revenue growth compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by higher ORV shipments to support retail demand and a favourable SSV mix resulting from the introduction of new models. Revenue growth was partially offset by lower PWC deliveries, mostly reflecting units that were shipped earlier in the first quarter. Gross profit and gross profit margin decreased compared to last year, primarily due to the impacts of Section 232 tariffs on Steel, Aluminum and Copper imports into the United States, as well as the effect of a supplier financial restructuring. The supplier financial restructuring represented an unfavourable impact of $74.8 million or 330 bps on gross profit and gross profit margin respectively. These impacts were partially offset by the positive effects of higher volumes and lower sales programs mainly in ORV.

The Company's North American retail sales were up 1% for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026 compared to the same period last year. The increase in retail sales was driven by positive industry trends in SSV and market share gains in ORV, which were partially offset by lower retail sales in Seasonal Products.

Revenues
Revenues increased by $348.6 million, or 18.5%, to $2,236.8 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $1,888.2 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2025. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a higher volume of units sold in ORV to support retail demand and a favourable SSV product mix resulting from the introduction of new models. The increase was partially offset by a lower volume of units sold in PWC, mostly reflecting units that were shipped earlier in the first quarter. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $46 million.

  • Year-Round Products (66% of Q2-FY27 revenues): Revenues from Year-Round Products increased by $371.3 million, or 33.3%, to $1,485.1 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $1,113.8 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2025. The increase in revenues from Year-Round Products was primarily attributable to a higher volume of units sold in ORV to support retail demand and a favourable SSV product mix resulting from the introduction of new models. The increase was also attributable to lower sales programs across all product lines. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $37 million.
  • Seasonal Products (19% of Q2-FY27 revenues): Revenues from Seasonal Products decreased by $42.0 million, or 8.9%, to $427.7 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $469.7 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2025. The decrease in revenues from Seasonal Products was primarily attributable to a lower volume of units sold in PWC, mostly reflecting units that were shipped earlier in the first quarter. The decrease was partially offset by lower sales programs in Snowmobile. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $5 million.
  • PA&A, OEM Engines and Others (15% of Q2-FY27 revenues): Revenues from PA&A, OEM Engines and Others increased by $19.3 million, or 6.3%, to $324.0 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $304.7 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2025. The increase in revenues from PA&A, OEM Engines and Others was primarily attributable to a higher volume of PA&A sold, coupled with favourable pricing. The increase was partially offset by unfavourable product mix in OEM Engines. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $4 million.

North American Retail Sales

The Company's North American retail sales increased by 1% for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026 compared to the same period last year. The increase in retail sales was driven by positive industry trends in SSV and market share gains in ORV, which were partially offset by lower retail sales in Seasonal Products.

  • North American Year-Round Products retail sales increased on a percentage basis in the low-single digits compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 2025. The Year-Round Products industry sales increased in the low-single digits over the same period.
  • North American Seasonal Products retail sales decreased on a percentage basis in the low-single digits compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 2025. The Seasonal Products industry sales increased on a percentage basis in the low-single digits over the same period.

Gross profit
Gross profit decreased by $135.2 million, or 34.0%, to $262.5 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $397.7 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2025. Gross profit margin percentage decreased by 940 basis points to 11.7% for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to 21.1% for the three-month period ended July 31, 2025. Gross profit and gross profit margin decreased compared to last year, primarily due to the impacts of Section 232 tariffs on Steel, Aluminum and Copper imports into the United States, as well as the effect of a supplier financial restructuring. These impacts were partially offset by the positive effects of higher volumes and lower sales programs mainly in ORV. The decrease in gross profit includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $17 million.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $5.2 million, or 1.7%, to $312.5 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $307.3 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2025. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to higher investments in R&D to support product development, partially offset by lower G&A expenses due to a special long-term incentive program and the costs associated with executive management transition during the three-month period ended July 31, 2025. The increase in operating expenses includes an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation of $1 million.

Normalized EBITDA [1]
Normalized EBITDA [1] decreased by $74.4 million, or 34.9%, to $138.8 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $213.2 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2025. The decrease in Normalized EBITDA [1] was primarily due to lower gross profit combined with increased operating expenses.

Net (Loss) Income
Net income decreased by $193.9 million, or 339.6%, to $(136.8) million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $57.1 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2025. The decrease in net income was primarily due to lower gross profit, an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt and increased operating expenses.

Normalized Net (Loss) Income [1]
Normalized net income [1] decreased by $79.9 million, or 119.4%, to $(13.0) million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $66.9 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2025.

The increase in net income from discontinued operations was primarily due to the closing of the sales of Alumacraft's and Manitou's assets during the three-month periods ended July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2025 respectively.

SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 2026

Revenues
Revenues increased by $893.5 million, or 23.9%, to $4,628.6 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $3,735.1 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2025. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a higher volume of units sold across most product lines and favourable product mix in ORV. The increase was also attributable to lower sales programs and favourable pricing across most product lines. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $31 million.

Normalized EBITDA [1]
Normalized EBITDA [1] increased by $59.2 million, or 14.3%, to $473.2 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $414.0 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2025.

The decrease in net income was primarily due to an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt and to a higher income tax expense.

Normalized Net Income [1]
Normalized net income [1] increased by $20.0 million, or 19.7%, to $121.5 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $101.5 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2025. The increase in Normalized net income [1] was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses.

See "Non-IFRS Measures" section of this press release.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Consolidated net cash flows generated from operating activities totaled $686.8 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2026, compared to $373.1 million generated for the six-month period ended July 31, 2025. The increase was mainly due to favourable changes in working capital and lower income taxes paid, partially offset by lower profitability. The favourable changes in working capital were driven by higher provisions and a decrease in trade receivables, partially offset by an increase in inventories.

The Company invested $126.2 million of its liquidity in capital expenditures for the introduction of new products and modernization of the Company's software infrastructure to support future growth.

During the six-month period ended July 31, 2026, the Company also returned $231.7 million to its shareholders through quarterly dividend payouts and share repurchase programs.

Dividend
On September 2, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share for holders of its multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares. The dividend will be paid on October 13, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 29, 2026.

Unless otherwise stated, the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Company has no intention and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs, unless required by applicable securities regulations.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS
The Company made a number of economic, market and operational assumptions in preparing and making certain forward-looking statements contained in this Press Release, including without limitation the following assumptions: industries in both Seasonal and Year-Round Products consistent with current trends and continuously challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environments; expected market share volatility; main currencies in which the Company operates will remain at near current levels; there will be no significant changes in tax laws or treaties applicable to the Company; the supply base will remain able to support product development and planned production rates on commercially acceptable terms in a timely manner; the absence of unusually adverse weather conditions, especially in peak seasons. BRP cautions that its assumptions may not materialize, and that the currently challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environments in which it evolves, including specifically the uncertainty around the potential evolution of tariffs, duties and other trade restrictions (and any retaliatory measures), as well as the ongoing instability in the Middle East and its potential negative impact on the global economy, may render such assumptions, although believed reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. These assumptions reflect certain U.S. tariffs currently in effect; however, they do not fully incorporate the potential expansion of U.S. tariffs, including tariffs on all imports from Canada and Mexico, and potential retaliatory tariffs. Given the fast-evolving situation and the high degree of uncertainty around the duration of a potential trade war, it is difficult to predict how the effects would flow through the economy. New and existing tariffs could significantly affect the outlooks for economic growth, consumer spending, inflation and the Canadian dollar.

NON-IFRS MEASURES
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company's results of operations from management's perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company's financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS measures including the following:

Non-IFRS measures

Definition

Reason for use


Normalized EBITDA

Net income before financing costs, financing income, income tax expense (recovery), depreciation expense and normalized elements.

Assist investors in determining the financial performance of the Company's operating activities on a consistent basis by excluding certain non-cash elements such as depreciation expense, impairment charge, foreign exchange gain or loss on the Company's long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign exchange gain or loss on certain of the Company's lease liabilities. Other elements, such as restructuring and wind-down costs, non-recurring gain or loss and acquisition-related costs, may be excluded from net income in the determination of Normalized EBITDA as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.




Normalized net income

Net income before normalized elements adjusted to reflect the tax effect on these elements

In addition to the financial performance of operating activities, this measure considers the impact of investing activities, financing activities and income taxes on the Company's financial results.





Normalized income tax expense

Income tax expense adjusted to reflect the tax effect on normalized elements and to normalize specific tax elements

Assist investors in determining the tax expense relating to the normalized items explained above, as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.





Normalized effective tax rate

Based on Normalized net income before Normalized income tax expense

Assist investors in determining the effective tax rate including the normalized items explained above, as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.





Normalized earnings per share – basic and diluted

Calculated by dividing the Normalized net income by the weighted average number of shares – basic and diluted

Assist investors in determining the normalized financial performance of the Company's activities on a per share basis.













Free cash flow

Cash flows from operating activities less additions to PP&E and intangible assets

Assist investors in assessing the Company's liquidity generation abilities that could be available for shareholders, debt repayment and business combination, after capital expenditure



 

The Company believes non-IFRS measures are important supplemental measures of financial performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on the Company's financial performance and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate financial performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets, assess the Company's ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and also as a component in the determination of the short-term incentive compensation for the Company's employees. Because other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the Company does, these metrics are not comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company refers the reader to the tables below for the reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures presented by the Company to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

FAQ

What were BRP (DOO) Q2 FY2027 revenues and earnings?

BRP reported Q2 FY2027 revenues of $2,236.8 million, an 18.5% increase year over year. The company posted a net loss of $136.8 million, compared with net income of $57.1 million in the prior-year quarter, and a diluted loss per share of $1.88.

How did BRP's gross margin and Normalized EBITDA change in Q2 FY2027?

In Q2 FY2027, BRP’s gross profit fell to $262.5 million and gross margin dropped to 11.7% from 21.1% a year earlier. Normalized EBITDA decreased 34.9% to $138.8 million, mainly reflecting lower gross profit and slightly higher operating expenses.

What FY2027 financial guidance did BRP (DOO) provide for revenue and earnings?

For FY2027, BRP guides to total revenues of $9.225–$9.475 billion, normalized EBITDA of $1.025–$1.075 billion, normalized diluted EPS of $4.00–$4.50, and net income of $160–$195 million. The company also assumes about 73 million diluted shares outstanding.

Why did BRP report a net loss in Q2 FY2027 despite higher revenue?

BRP’s net loss of $136.8 million in Q2 FY2027 stemmed mainly from sharply lower gross profit, an unfavourable foreign exchange variation on U.S.-dollar long-term debt, and increased operating expenses. The company cites U.S. Section 232 tariffs and a supplier financial restructuring as major margin pressures.

How did BRP's North American retail sales and ORV market share perform in Q2 FY2027?

In Q2 FY2027, BRP’s North American Powersports retail sales increased 1% year over year. The company highlights positive industry trends in SSV and market share gains in ORV, partially offset by lower retail sales in Seasonal Products such as PWC and snowmobiles.

What outlook did BRP give for Q3 FY2027 Normalized diluted EPS?

For Q3 FY2027, BRP expects Normalized diluted EPS to be down approximately 50% to 60% versus the same quarter of FY2026. The company attributes this anticipated decline mainly to the increased impact of tariffs on its cost structure.

What new products and initiatives did BRP announce around Club BRP 2027?

Around Club BRP 2027, BRP committed to major off-road product announcements every six months for four years. It unveiled the Sea-Doo RXP-X Senna 350, an upgraded Spark lineup, a second-generation Can-Am Defender HD10, significant Can-Am Ryker evolution, and launched BRP Financial Services in the U.S.
