Merger costs push Marine Products (NYSE: MPX) to Q1 2026 loss
Marine Products Corporation reported higher sales but a quarterly loss as it moves toward a planned merger with MasterCraft. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 rose 12.8% to $66.5 million, driven mainly by a 15% increase in price/mix while unit boat sales slipped 1%.
The company recorded a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.2 million, or $0.06 per share, a year earlier. Results were significantly impacted by $5.0 million in merger-related costs, which turned operating income of $2.6 million in the prior-year period into an operating loss of $2.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes these merger expenses, was $3.0 million versus $3.4 million a year ago.
Marine Products ended the quarter with $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and no borrowings under its $20.0 million revolving credit facility, while generating $9.1 million in operating cash flow. The company continues to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share, with a new dividend declared for payment in May 2026.
Under the February 2026 merger agreement, each Marine Products share will be converted at closing into 0.232 shares of MasterCraft common stock plus $2.43 in cash, subject to shareholder approvals and other customary conditions. The company also notes new risk disclosures around elevated fuel prices and geopolitical tensions affecting boating demand and input costs.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Q1 2026 profitability weakened: Marine Products posted a net loss of $2.1 million versus $2.2 million in net income a year earlier, as $5.0 million of merger-related expenses and higher cost of goods sold more than offset a 12.8% increase in net sales.
Insights
Stronger sales but merger costs drove a small quarterly loss.
Marine Products grew Q1 2026 net sales to $66.5 million, up 12.8% year over year, mainly from a 15% price/mix increase while boat units were essentially flat. Gross profit was stable at $11.1 million, but higher materials, overhead and labor lifted cost of goods sold to 83.4% of sales.
The headline swing to a $2.1 million net loss from $2.2 million profit is largely explained by $5.0 million of merger-related costs tied to the proposed combination with MasterCraft. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding these costs, slipped modestly to $3.0 million with a 4.6% margin, reflecting some operating pressure but not a collapse in core profitability.
Liquidity remains solid with $45.8 million of cash, no revolver borrowings on a $20.0 million facility, and free cash flow of $8.6 million for the quarter. However, floor-plan repurchase guarantees totaling $28.8 million and new risks from elevated fuel prices and the S trait of Hormuz disruption underscore sensitivity to macro and geopolitical conditions as the 2026 merger process advances.

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
ASU 2025-11: Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements: This ASU updates existing guidance related to interim reporting. This amendment provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The provisions in this ASU are effective beginning in the first quarter of 2028. Early adoption is permitted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adoption of these provisions on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2025-06: Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software: This ASU updates existing guidance related to the capitalization of development costs for internal-use software. These amendments update the threshold required to start capitalizing software costs and remove references to a sequential software development method.

Early adoption is permitted on either a prospective or retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of adoption of these provisions on the consolidated financial statements.
4. NET SALES
Accounting Policy:
MPC’s contract revenues are generated principally from selling to independent dealers the following: (1) fiberglass motorized boats and accessories and (2) parts. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Satisfaction of contract terms occurs with the transfer of title of our boats and accessories and parts to our dealers. Net sales are measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the goods to the dealer. The amount of consideration we expect to receive consists of the sales price adjusted for dealer incentives. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold as they are deemed to be assurance-type warranties. See the note titled Warranty Costs. Incidental promotional items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Fees charged to customers for shipping and handling are included in Net sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related costs incurred by the Company are included in Cost of goods sold.
Nature of goods:
MPC’s performance obligations within its contracts consist of: (1) boats and accessories and (2) parts. The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue on the satisfaction of its performance obligations (point in time) as follows:
| ● | Boats and accessories (domestic sales) – upon delivery and acceptance by the dealer |
| ● | Boats and accessories (international sales) – upon delivery to shipping port |
8
Table of Contents
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
| ● | Parts – upon shipment/delivery to carrier |
Payment terms:
For most domestic customers, MPC manufactures and delivers boats and accessories and parts ahead of payment - i.e., MPC has fulfilled its performance obligations prior to submitting an invoice to the dealer. MPC invoices the customer when the products are delivered and typically receives the payment within seven to ten business days after invoicing. For some domestic customers and all international customers, MPC requires payment prior to transferring control of the goods. These amounts are classified as deferred revenue and recognized when control has transferred, which generally occurs within three months of receiving the payment.
When the Company enters into contracts with its customers, it generally expects there to be no significant timing difference between the date the goods have been delivered to the customer (satisfaction of the performance obligation) and the date cash consideration is received. Accordingly, there is no financing component to the Company’s arrangements with its customers.
Significant judgments:
Determining the transaction price
The transaction price for MPC’s boats and accessories is the invoice price adjusted for dealer incentives. Key inputs and assumptions in determining variable consideration related to dealer incentives include:
| ● | Inputs: Current model year boat sales, total potential program incentive percentage, prior model year results of dealer incentive activity (i.e., incentive earned as a percentage of total incentive potential). |
| ● | Assumption: Current model year incentive activity will closely reflect prior model year actual results, adjusted as necessary for dealer purchasing trends or economic factors. |
Other:
Our contracts with dealers do not provide them with a right of return. Accordingly, we do not have any obligations recorded for returns or refunds.
Disaggregation of revenues:

Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each outstanding Marine Products restricted stock award ("Marine Products RSAs”), will accelerate and vest in full and be treated in the same manner as shares of Marine Products common stock for purposes of receiving the Merger Consideration, except that Marine Products RSAs awarded in 2026 and held by employees who continue with the combined company following the closing date (the “Assumed RSAs”) will convert into MasterCraft RSAs, with the same time-vesting restrictions as the existing Marine Products RSAs, provided that the Assumed RSAs will also include double-trigger change-in-control vesting provisions following the Mergers. In addition, each unvested Marine Products performance stock unit (“Marine Products PSU”) with an incomplete performance period as of the closing date of the Mergers will vest based on “target” performance and be treated in the same manner as shares of Marine Products common stock for purposes of receiving the Merger Consideration, while each unvested Marine Products PSU with a completed performance period as of the closing date of the Mergers will vest based on “actual” performance and be treated in the same manner as shares of Marine Products common stock for purposes of receiving the Merger Consideration.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:
1.Level 1 — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
2.Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
3.Level 3 — Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.
The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of quarterly reporting periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, there were

Lawsuits:
The Company is a defendant in certain lawsuits which allege that plaintiffs have been injured or incurred damages as a result of Company business activities or the use of the Company’s products. The Company is vigorously contesting these actions. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, is of the opinion that the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Marine Products.
Litigation Related to the Proposed Transaction with MasterCraft:
Stockholders have filed and may continue to file lawsuits challenging the Mergers, which may name us, MasterCraft, members of our Board, members of the MasterCraft board, or others as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of any claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Mergers on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of the Mergers or may prevent the Mergers from being completed altogether.

Repurchase Obligations:
The Company is a party to various agreements with third-party lenders that provide floor plan financing to qualifying dealers whereby the Company guarantees varying amounts of debt on boats in dealer inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the dealer and the third-party lender. The agreements provide for the return of repossessed boats to the Company in new and unused condition subject to normal wear and tear as defined, in exchange for the Company’s assumption of specified percentages of the debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits by the lenders. The Company had
Management continues to monitor the risk of defaults and resulting repurchase obligations based in part on information provided by third-party floor plan lenders and will adjust the guarantee liability at the end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK
Marine Products Corporation, through our wholly owned subsidiaries Chaparral and Robalo, is a leading manufacturer of recreational fiberglass powerboats. Our sales and profits are generated by selling the products that we manufacture to a network of independent dealers who in turn sell the products to retail customers. These dealers are located throughout the continental United States and in several international markets. Many of these dealers finance their inventory through third-party floorplan lenders, who pay Marine Products generally within seven to ten days after delivery of the products to the dealers.
The discussion on business and financial strategies of the Company set forth under the heading “Business Strategies” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 is incorporated herein by reference. There have been no significant changes in the strategies since year-end although management continues to consider other potential opportunities to maximize stockholder value.
In executing these strategies and attempting to optimize our financial returns, management closely monitors dealer orders and inventories, the production mix of various models, and indications of demand such as consumer confidence, inflation concerns, interest rates, dealer orders placed at our annual dealer conferences, and retail attendance and orders at annual winter boat show exhibitions. We also consider trends related to certain key financial and other data, including our historical and forecasted financial results, market share, unit sales of our products, average selling price per boat, and gross profit margins, among others, as indicators of the success of our strategies. Our financial results are affected by consumer confidence — because pleasure boating is a discretionary expenditure, interest rates — because many retail customers finance the purchase of their boats, and other socioeconomic and environmental factors such as availability of leisure time, consumer preferences, demographics and the weather.
On February 5, 2026, we entered into the Merger Agreement with MasterCraft and the other parties thereto. Details of the transaction with MasterCraft are further described in the note titled Proposed Transaction with MasterCraft in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Consolidated net sales increased 12.8% to $66.5 million for the first quarter of 2026 in comparison to the same period of the prior year due primarily to a price/mix increase of 15% slightly offset by a 1% decrease in number of boats sold. Gross profit increased to $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, from $11.0 million in the same period of the prior year. Operating loss was $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, down from operating income of $2.6 million in the same period of the prior year. Net loss was $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, a decrease from net income of $2.2 million in the same period of the prior year. Diluted loss per share was $0.06 for the first quarter of 2026, down from diluted earnings per share of $0.06 in the same period of the prior year. Interest rates have remained elevated, and any sustained decrease could be another catalyst for dealers and consumers to increase spending. The Company continues to focus on reducing costs and aligning production to expected demand level.
Higher selling prices for boats following rapid inflation and higher interest rates in recent years have both contributed to higher costs of boat ownership, curbing consumer demand following several years of high post-pandemic sales. We have adjusted production levels to more closely align with expected demand; however, dealers remain cautious with their field inventory levels due to lower retail demand compared to recent years and higher financing costs.
Our financial results generally depend on a number of factors, including economic trends, demand for discretionary products, the impact of interest rates on consumer financing options and dealer inventory carrying costs, the effectiveness of the Company’s incentive programs, the success of new model launches, and the Company’s ability to manage manufacturing costs. We also expect to incur substantial costs in connection with the transaction with MasterCraft. While interest rates began to decrease during 2024 and decreased in 2025, the Company believes it may take further interest rate relief to drive increased consumer appetite for new boat purchases. However, the impact of tariffs on prices of imported manufacturing materials and components could contribute to inflation and limit further interest rate reductions. Additionally, the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz has resulted in elevated fuel prices and could cause fuel prices to increase even further. Elevated fuel costs can negatively impact demand for our products by increasing the overall cost of boat ownership and as a result could materially adversely impact our

business. The Company actively monitors dealer inventories and order patterns for changes in demand and adjusts production levels accordingly.
HOW WE EVALUATE OUR OPERATIONS
We use Earnings (loss) per share, and the non-GAAP financial measures Earnings (Loss) Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization [“EBITDA/(LBITDA)”], EBITDA/(LBITDA) margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow to evaluate and analyze the Company’s operating performance. We believe that presenting EBITDA/(LBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and EBITDA/(LBITDA) margin enables a comparison of our operating performance consistently over various time periods without regard to changes in our capital structure. In addition, we believe that free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating Marine Products’ financial condition and liquidity. Marine Products’ definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, since the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions, if any.
EBITDA/(LBITDA) and EBITDA/(LBITDA) margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income, net income margin, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Similarly, free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, GAAP presentation of net cash provided by operating, investing and financing activities, as a measure of our financial condition and liquidity.
See section titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a reconciliation of EBITDA/(LBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income and EBITDA/(LBITDA) margin and Adjusted EBITDA margin to net income (loss) margin, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to Operating Cash Flow, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $7.5 million or 12.8% compared to the same period in 2025. The change in net sales during the quarter compared to the prior year was primarily due to a price/mix increase of 15% slightly offset by a 1% decrease in the number of boats sold. The Company’s field inventory in units at the end of the first quarter of 2026 was approximately 2% below the first quarter of 2025. In the first quarter of 2026, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 6.6% of net sales compared to 8.0% of net sales in the same period of the prior year.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $55.5 million, an increase of $7.4 million or 15.4% compared to the same period in 2025. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 83.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 81.4% for the same period in the prior year due to higher overhead and labor costs in the current period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $8.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 5.8% compared to the same period in 2025. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 13.3% of net sales in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 14.1% for the same period in 2025.
Merger related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $5.0 million for various transaction fees associated with the Mergers.
Interest income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased to $325 thousand from $442 thousand in the same period of the prior year due to lower average cash balances. Marine Products generates interest income primarily from investments of excess cash in money market funds. Additionally, interest expense is recorded for the revolving credit facility, including fees on the unused portion of the facility and the amortization of loan costs.
Income tax (benefit) provision for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was an income tax benefit of $329.0 thousand compared to an income tax provision of $849.0 thousand for the same period in 2025. The effective tax rate was 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 27.8% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the impact of detrimental discrete adjustments on a pretax loss in 2026 compared to a pretax income in 2025.
Net (loss) income and diluted (loss) earnings per share. Net loss of $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or $0.06 diluted loss per share, decreased from net income of $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share. Net loss was negatively impacted by $5.0 million due to merger related costs incurred during the first quarter of 2026. Net loss margin was 3.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to net income margin of 3.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily due to increased cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses as discussed above. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 4.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 5.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Net cash provided by operating activities and Free cash flow. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $1.7 million to $9.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a net loss in 2026 compared to net income in 2025, partially offset by net favorable working capital adjustments during the first quarter of 2026. Free cash flow decreased $2.1 million due to the decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, coupled with higher capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the same period of the prior year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures
Marine Products has disclosed non-GAAP financial measures of (LBITDA)/ EBITDA, (LBITDA) EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow in the Results of Operations section above. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance or liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $1.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the decrease in net income partially offset by net favorable working capital adjustments. Working capital was source of cash of $8.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $6.7 million in the same period of the prior year. In the first quarter of 2026, working capital was a source of cash due primarily to a net favorable change of $7.8 million in accounts payable resulting from increased activity levels and higher merger related costs in comparison to the same period of the prior year.
Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $0.4 million in comparison to the same period in the prior year due to higher capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $0.3 million in comparison to the same period in 2025.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
The Company believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents, its overall strong capitalization and cash generated by operations will be sufficient to meet the Company’s requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing purposes are influenced by its capital position and the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations and are currently subject to limitations imposed by the Merger Agreement during the time period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers. The Company also has a revolving line of credit facility, described below, to increase its flexibility for managing its investment in its working capital or for funding other purposes. However, the Merger Agreement generally caps the amount of indebtedness that the Company can incur outside the ordinary course of business at $1 million during the time period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers except as specifically approved by MasterCraft.
The Company has a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that expires on May 5, 2028, which permits it to offer common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, depositary shares, purchase contracts and units containing two or more of the foregoing, in one or more offerings in an aggregate amount of up to $150 million. The Form S-3 is intended to provide us the flexibility to conduct registered sales of our securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs. However, the Company’s ability to issue securities is currently restricted by the Merger Agreement during the time period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers except as specifically approved by MasterCraft.
Cash Requirements
If the Mergers are not completed during 2026, management expects that capital expenditures during 2026 will be approximately $1 million to $5 million, of which $496 thousand has been spent through March 31, 2026. Also, the Merger Agreement sets specific limits the Company’s ability to make unbudgeted capital expenditures during the time period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers except as specifically approved by MasterCraft.
In connection with the Mergers, we expect to incur transaction-related costs, including fees for financial and legal advisors and proxy solicitors. We must pay substantially all of these costs and expenses whether or not the Mergers are completed. We expect our existing cash balances together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund these costs. Actual costs may differ from these estimates depending on the timing of the closing, regulatory requirements, or other unforeseen developments. In addition, the Merger Agreement could require us to pay a termination fee of $11.6 million, in cash, under certain specified circumstances, including upon a change of recommendation by our board of directors or upon termination of the Merger Agreement in order to accept a “superior proposal.” For further information, refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors - Risks Related to the Mergers” included in the Marine Products Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Company adopted a stock buyback program in 2001 that as subsequently amended authorized the aggregate repurchase of 8,250,000 shares in the open market. The Company did not repurchase any shares under this program in three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. There are 1,570,428 shares that remain available for repurchase as of March 31, 2026, but the Merger Agreement generally prohibits any further repurchases under this program during the time period between the execution of the Merger Agreement
20
Table of Contents
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
and the completion of the Mergers except as specifically approved by MasterCraft. The program by its terms does not have a predetermined expiration date.
On April 28, 2026, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share payable May 14, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 8, 2026. Subject to industry conditions and Marine Products’ earnings, financial condition, and other relevant factors, the Company expects to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends to stockholders of common stock should the Mergers not close. Any additional regular, quarterly or special cash dividends during the time period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers would require the approval of MasterCraft.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
To assist dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of its boats for inventory, the Company has entered into agreements with various third-party floor plan lenders whereby the Company guarantees varying amounts of debt for qualifying dealers on boats in inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the dealer and the third-party lender. The agreements provide for the return of all repossessed boats to the Company in new and unused condition as defined, in exchange for the Company’s assumption of specified percentages of the debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits which vary by lender. The Company had no material financial impact associated with repurchases under these contractual agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement we have agreed to limit repurchases pursuant to floorplan financing arrangements to $500,000 individually or $1,000,000 in the aggregate during the time period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers except as specifically approved by MasterCraft.
Management continues to monitor the risk of defaults and resulting repurchase obligations based in part on information provided by the third-party floor plan lenders and will adjust the guarantee liability at the end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time.
The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit is based on the highest of the following criteria: (i) a specified percentage of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our dealers, (ii) the total average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our two highest dealers for the three highest monthly receivables balances during the past twelve months, or (iii) $8.0 million, less repurchases during the prior 12 month period. As defined by the agreement, the repurchase limit for this lender was $8.4 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company also has an agreement with an additional floorplan lender whereby the contractual repurchase limit is based on the highest of the following criteria: (i) a specified percentage of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our dealers, or (ii) $18.8 million through June 30, 2026, reducing to $3.0 million beginning July 1, 2026. As defined by the agreement, the repurchase limit for this lender was $18.8 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of $1.6 million with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with all floor plan financing institutions of $28.8 million as of March 31, 2026. Although the Company has these agreements with financial institutions, in certain situations, the Company may decide for business reasons to repurchase boats in excess of these contractual amounts. However, as noted above, pursuant to the Merger Agreement we have agreed to limit repurchases pursuant to floorplan financing arrangements to $500,000 individually or $1,000,000 in the aggregate during the time period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the completion of the Mergers except as specifically approved by MasterCraft.

(“LOR”) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “the Selling Stockholders”) and their permitted transferees, we have filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that expires on May 5, 2028. The Form S-3 shelf registration statement registers for resale up to 24,419,029 shares of our common stock, which represents substantially all of the Company securities held by the Selling Stockholders. In addition, they have, subject to certain conditions and limitations, certain piggy-back registration rights with respect to registrations initiated by us.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See the note titled Recent Accounting Standards in the Notes of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and expected effects on results of operations and financial condition, if known.
SEASONALITY
Marine Products’ quarterly operating results are affected by weather and general economic conditions. Quarterly operating results for the second quarter have historically recorded the highest sales volume for the year because this corresponds with the highest retail sales volume period. For similar reasons, quarterly operating results for the fourth quarter often record the lowest sales volume for the year. The results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period.
INFLATION
New boat buyers typically finance their purchases. The Company believes that previous increases in interest rates (which were generally linked to higher inflation) reduced retail demand for smaller boats, since purchasers of smaller boats are typically more sensitive to increases in the cost of boat ownership and typically finance their purchases. Higher interest rates also impact many of our dealers, as their inventories are financed and they bear much of the carrying costs related to boats held in inventory. Lastly, the Company incurs higher costs from rising interest rates because we often pay a portion of dealer floor plan interest as part of our dealer sales incentive programs. Although economic uncertainty continues to impact the marine industry, we are encouraged by the potential for lower interest rates helping the finance buyer.
As a result of post-pandemic supply chain disruptions and general inflation, the market prices of the raw materials and components used by the Company’s manufacturing processes increased and remain elevated. In response, the Company increased the prices for its products, and they remain historically high. In 2025 and through the three months ended March 31, 2026, input cost inflation was immaterial, though many items remain elevated compared to historical levels. The Company believes the cost of boat ownership has risen enough over the last several years to impact retail demand. Therefore, it may be more difficult to raise prices in the future to compensate for increased costs of raw materials and components, which could impact the Company’s sales and profit margins. As discussed above, the ongoing tariff developments could result in a resumption in inflationary pressures.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made in this report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “may,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “project,” “estimate,” and similar expressions used in this document that do not relate to historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The ongoing conflict involving Iran, the blockage of the Strait of Hormuz and resulting elevated oil prices could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
We are currently experiencing an armed conflict involving Iran in the Middle East, an actual blockage of the Strait of Hormuz and elevated global oil prices, any of which, and especially all of which together, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical transit point for a significant portion of the world’s crude oil supply, is presently blocked, and global oil markets have reacted with oil prices at recent highs. These conditions have led, and may continue to lead, to significant increases in fuel prices for our dealers and retail customers. Elevated and volatile fuel costs can negatively impact demand for our products by increasing the overall cost of boat ownership and use, reducing discretionary spending on recreational boating and causing consumers to delay or forego purchases or upgrades. Higher fuel prices may also reduce utilization of existing boats, which can negatively affect dealer profitability, dealer inventory decisions and trade-in activity, thereby adversely impacting our sales volumes and pricing.
In addition, the current conflict involving Iran and related geopolitical instability are contributing to broader commodity and supply chain disruptions that increase our product costs. Many of the raw materials, components and finished goods used in our manufacturing operations, including resins, fiberglass, foam, metals, electronic components and propulsion systems, are sensitive to changes in energy and transportation costs, as well as to global shipping capacity and routing. The actual closure and blockage of the Strait of Hormuz have increased, and may continue to increase, shipping transit times, freight rates and insurance costs for us and our suppliers, including on routes that do not directly transit the Strait, due to knock-on effects on global logistics networks. These conditions may result in higher input costs, parts shortages, delivery delays and reduced production efficiency. Although we may attempt to mitigate these impacts through pricing actions, alternative sourcing or adjustments to production, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fully offset higher costs or maintain our margins without adversely affecting demand. If the current blockage of the Strait of Hormuz and related oil price increases persist or worsen, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

FAQ
How did Marine Products (MPX) perform financially in Q1 2026?
Marine Products posted Q1 2026 net sales of $66.5 million, up 12.8% from a year earlier, but reported a net loss of $2.1 million versus $2.2 million in prior-year net income. The loss mainly reflects $5.0 million of merger-related costs and higher production expenses.
What is the merger consideration for Marine Products (MPX) shareholders in the MasterCraft deal?
At closing, each Marine Products common share is expected to convert into 0.232 shares of MasterCraft common stock plus $2.43 in cash, without interest. This stock-and-cash package, called the merger consideration, is subject to shareholder approvals and other customary closing conditions before it becomes effective.
How did the MasterCraft merger costs affect Marine Products’ Q1 2026 results?
Marine Products recorded $5.0 million in merger-related costs during Q1 2026, primarily transaction fees. These expenses turned prior-year operating income of $2.6 million into a $2.7 million operating loss and were the main driver of the shift from profit to a quarterly net loss.
What was Marine Products’ cash position and debt level as of March 31, 2026?
As of March 31, 2026, Marine Products held $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and had no outstanding borrowings under its $20.0 million revolving credit facility. The company also generated $9.1 million in net cash from operating activities during the quarter.
What non-GAAP metrics does Marine Products (MPX) highlight for Q1 2026?
Marine Products emphasizes Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million with a 4.6% margin in Q1 2026, slightly below $3.4 million a year earlier. Free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures, totaled $8.6 million for the quarter.
How are higher fuel prices and the Strait of Hormuz blockage affecting Marine Products?
Marine Products warns that elevated fuel prices and the current Strait of Hormuz blockage could raise boat ownership costs, dampen demand, and pressure dealer profitability. The company also cites potential impacts from higher input costs, shipping delays, and supply chain disruptions on its operations and margins.
What dividend did Marine Products declare after Q1 2026?
On April 28, 2026, the board declared a regular cash dividend of $0.14 per share, payable May 14, 2026 to shareholders of record on May 8, 2026. The company indicates it expects to continue regular quarterly dividends if the planned MasterCraft mergers do not close.
