Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 12 | Asset sale / liquidity | Positive | +4.0% | Announced Fort Lauderdale property sale to unlock non-dilutive cash and cut costs. |
| May 06 | Financing and ATM | Neutral | -18.3% | Expanded floor plan facility and detailed ATM share issuance under existing program. |
| Apr 29 | TSXV trading start | Positive | +17.7% | Confirmed TSXV trading commencement to broaden investor base alongside Nasdaq listing. |

News tied to capital markets access sometimes aligned positively, while financing-related updates, including ATM usage, often saw negative price reactions even when operational metrics improved.
Over the last few months, VMAR has focused on integrating Nautical Ventures, improving its balance sheet, and broadening capital markets access. A Q2 update on Apr 15 highlighted revenue of $14.53M, gross profit of $4.40M, and a smaller net loss, yet the stock fell. Dual-listing steps with the TSXV on Apr 27 and Apr 29 produced mixed reactions. The May 6 floor plan renewal and ATM update were followed by a sharp drop, while the May 12 Fort Lauderdale sale news was received positively. Today’s shareholder update emphasizes the same themes of NVG integration, inventory and floor plan reductions, and non-dilutive liquidity generation.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights Vision Marine’s shift from pure technology development toward commercial execution. Management reports a more than 400% year-over-year increase in electric boat sales under contract, inventory and floor plan reductions of 37% and 57%, and cost cuts of 10%–15% at Nautical Ventures. The update also details new credit facilities and property monetizations expected to add about US$5.0M of non-dilutive liquidity. Investors may watch whether these steps move EBITDA closer to breakeven and support sustained cash and working capital levels.

Update to Shareholders for the six-month period ended February 28, 2026
Vision Marine was built to bring high-voltage electric marine into real-world adoption. Over the first six months of fiscal 2026, we have made important progress toward that objective by connecting our technology with direct market access, service infrastructure, and on-water customer deployment, creating a clearer path from innovation to commercial execution. Together, these elements reflect Vision Marine's evolution from advanced electric marine innovation into a scalable commercial platform designed to position the Company at the forefront of the future electric boating market.
Our technology was built for real-world adoption, and we are now executing on the next phase of growth: expanding our path to market and supporting broader customer adoption. Customers need to experience it, dealers need to support it, and products need to be delivered through a reliable retail and service network. The acquisition of Nautical Ventures Group Inc. ("Nautical Ventures") supports that transition by adding direct retail access, service support, and on-water deployment capabilities. For shareholders, this is where execution becomes tangible: Vision Marine is building the retail, service, and customer access infrastructure needed to move electric propulsion from innovation into commercial deployment.
This model is now producing measurable commercial and operational results. Electric boat sales under contract increased by more than
To support this next phase of commercial execution, we materially improved the operating profile of the retail platform and strengthened the foundation needed to scale electric boating adoption. From the acquisition date up to February 28, 2026, total boats and tenders in inventory at the Nautical Ventures segment have been reduced by approximately
To support the next phase of commercial growth, we have also continued strengthening our financial flexibility. Nautical Ventures recently secured a new
As part of the same execution discipline, we continued improving the cost structure of the Nautical Ventures platform, supporting a more disciplined and scalable operating model. Through ongoing operational optimization and integration initiatives implemented during the period, Nautical Ventures implemented operating expenditure reductions expected to lower the platform's cost structure by approximately
From a technology and product perspective, we continue to advance our electric propulsion strategy through products and partnerships that bring electric boating closer to real customer adoption. The SPECTR 26 pontoon reflects our approach to bringing a fully integrated electric product to market within the pontoon category, one of the fastest growing and most relevant segments in recreational boating. Our collaboration with Sterk supports the integration of Vision Marine's propulsion systems into premium performance platforms and demonstrates the flexibility of our technology across multiple boating categories, customer segments, and on-water use cases.
From a commercial execution standpoint, the expansion of the Nautical Ventures brand portfolio, including AIATA and Twin Vee, strengthens our market reach through expanded distribution, premium brand representation, and exclusive market coverage across key recreational boating segments giving Vision Marine additional channels to place its technology in front of customers, support deployment, and expand adoption across boating markets.
Vision Marine has also recently commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol VMAR, complementing its Nasdaq listing and expanding access to North American capital markets while increasing visibility among Canadian and U.S. investors as we continue to execute our electric marine growth strategy.
We believe recreational boating is entering a long-term transition toward electric propulsion and more technology-driven on-water experiences. We believe that the progress achieved over the past six months reflects more than operational execution. It reflects the successful integration of technology, retail access, service infrastructure, and customer deployment into one operating platform designed to support scalable electric propulsion adoption and to help define how electric boating can move from an emerging category into a practical, customer-ready market.
That is the foundation we are building on as we continue to expand Vision Marine's position within the through continued execution of the recreational boating market.
Sincerely,
Alexandre Mongeon
