Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Marine Products Corporation reported first quarter 2026 results showing higher sales but a GAAP loss as it advances its planned merger with MasterCraft.

Net sales rose 13% year-over-year to $66.5 million, driven by a 15% price/mix increase, while boat unit volumes slipped 1%. Gross profit was $11.1 million, but gross margin declined to 16.6% due to higher labor and overhead costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $8.8 million and merger related costs were $5.0 million.

The company posted a net loss of $2.1 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.2 million and $0.06 per share a year earlier. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding merger related costs, were $0.05. (LBITDA) EBITDA was a loss of $1.9 million, while Adjusted EBITDA was $3.0 million.

Marine Products ended the quarter with $45.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, generated $9.1 million of net cash from operating activities and free cash flow of $8.6 million. Year-to-date dividend payments totaled $4.9 million, and the board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share payable on May 14, 2026.

The company highlighted its previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger with MasterCraft Boat Holdings. The Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period expired on April 6, 2026, shareholder votes are scheduled for May 12, 2026, and the transaction is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2026, subject to customary conditions.

Insights

Sales grew but margins compressed and merger costs drove a small loss.

Marine Products increased Q1 2026 net sales to $66.5 million, up 13% year-over-year, mainly from price/mix rather than higher volumes. However, gross margin fell 200 basis points to 16.6% as labor and overhead costs rose, limiting profit conversion.

Merger related costs of $5.0 million turned operating income into a loss and drove GAAP net loss of $2.1 million or $(0.06) per share. Excluding these costs, adjusted diluted EPS was $0.05, slightly below the prior year’s $0.06, and adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 million was roughly flat versus 2025.

The balance sheet remains debt-free with $45.8 million of cash and free cash flow of $8.6 million for the quarter. The pending stock-and-cash merger with MasterCraft progressed, with Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance and shareholder votes set for May 12, 2026. Actual outcomes will depend on vote results and completion of remaining closing conditions described in the merger agreement.

Free cash flow $8,555 thousand Three months ended March 31, 2026; operating cash flow minus capex
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to (LBITDA) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"Reconciliation of Operating Cash Flow to Free Cash Flow"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory
"the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”)"
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 regulatory
"the waiting period applicable to the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976"
Special Meetings of Stockholders regulatory
"at their respective Special Meetings of Stockholders to be held on May 12, 2026"
Special meetings of stockholders are gatherings called outside the regular annual meeting to vote on specific, often urgent matters such as mergers, major asset sales, or changes in board control. For investors these meetings matter because they can produce quick, binding decisions that affect a shareholder’s ownership value or control rights—think of it like an emergency family meeting to decide whether to sell the house, where the outcome directly changes everyone’s stake.
non-GAAP financial measures financial
"Marine Products Corporation has used the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Marine Products Corporation Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

ATLANTA, May 7, 2026 – Marine Products Corporation (NYSE: MPX) (the “Company”), a leading manufacturer of fiberglass boats, announced its unaudited results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

* Non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, (LBITDA) EBITDA, (LBITDA) EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the appendices of this earnings release.

* All comparisons are year-over-year to 1Q:25 unless stated otherwise.

First Quarter 2026 Results

Net sales increased 13% year-over-year to $66.5 million.
Net (loss) income was ($2.1) million, versus $2.2 million in the prior year period, and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS) was ($0.06); Net income margin decreased 680 basis points to (3.1%). Net Income was negatively impacted by $5.0 million of pretax merger related costs.
Adjusted net income was $1.8 million, and adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) was $0.05.
(Loss) Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (LBITDA) EBITDA was ($1.9) million versus $3.4 million in the prior year period; (LBITDA) EBITDA margin decreased 870 basis points to (2.9%).
The Company ended the quarter with approximately $45.8 million in cash and no debt.

1Q:26 Consolidated Financial Results (year-over-year comparisons versus 1Q:25)

Net sales were $66.5 million, up 13%. The increase in net sales was primarily due to a price/mix increase of 15% offset slightly by a 1% decrease in the number of boats sold during the quarter. The Company’s field unit inventory at the end of 1Q:26 was approximately 2% below 1Q:25.

Gross profit was $11.1 million, up 1%. Gross margin was 16.6%, down 200 basis points from the prior year period. Gross margin decreased due primarily to higher labor and overhead costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.8 million, up 6%, and represented 13.3% of net sales, down 80 basis points versus 1Q:25.

Merger related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $5.0 million.

Interest income of $325 thousand decreased due to lower cash balances.

Income tax (benefit) provision was ($329.0) thousand, or 13.7% of loss before income taxes, down 1,410 basis points primarily due to the impact of detrimental discrete adjustments on a pretax loss in 2026 compared to a pretax income in 2025.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

Cash and cash equivalents were $45.8 million at the end of 1Q:26, with no outstanding borrowings under the Company’s $20 million revolving credit facility.

Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were $9.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively, year-to-date.

Payment of dividends totaled $4.9 million year-to-date through the end of 1Q:26. Additionally, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share payable on May 14, 2026, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on May 8, 2026.

Proposed Transaction with MasterCraft

As previously announced, on February 5, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MasterCraft”), Titan Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned, direct subsidiary of MasterCraft (“Merger Sub I”), Titan Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned, direct subsidiary of MasterCraft (“Merger Sub II”) and the Company. The Merger Agreement, among other things, provides for the combination of MasterCraft and Marine Products in a stock-and-cash transaction whereby (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Marine Products (the "First Merger”), with Marine Products surviving the First Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of MasterCraft, and (ii) immediately following the First Merger, Marine Products will merge into Merger Sub II (the "Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of MasterCraft. Shareholders of each company will vote to approve all of the proposals necessary for MasterCraft to complete its acquisition of the Company at their respective Special Meetings of Stockholders to be held on May 12, 2026. Additionally, the waiting period applicable to the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, expired on April 6, 2026. The transaction is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2026, subject to satisfaction of other customary closing conditions as described in the Merger Agreement.

Conference Call Information

Due to the pending transaction with MasterCraft, the Company does not intend to hold a quarterly conference call or webcast.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include statements that look forward in time or express management’s beliefs, expectations, hopes or strategies. In particular, such statements include, without limitation: that the Company continues to diversify its product lines through product innovation. Such forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. We caution you that such statements are only predictions and not guarantees of future performance and that actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisioned by the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected include, but are not limited to, the following:  our manufacturing operations are conducted in a single location, and to support our operations, several of our suppliers have also established facilities close to our manufacturing facility to provide timely delivery of fabricated components to us; as a result, catastrophic weather, civil unrest or other unanticipated events beyond our control may disrupt both our and our suppliers’ ability to conduct manufacturing operations or transport our finished boats to our dealer network, and we do not own or have access to alternate manufacturing locations, economic conditions, unavailability of credit and possible decreases in the level of consumer confidence impacting discretionary spending, business interruptions due to adverse weather conditions, increased interest rates, increased fuel costs, unanticipated changes in consumer demand and preferences, deterioration in the quality of Marine Products’ network of independent boat dealers or availability of financing of their inventory, or in our relationships with them, continued lowering of consumer demand whether due to further increases to interest rates, overall impairment to the national and global economies, or because our designs fail to match evolving customer tastes and needs, the possibility that our strategy to increase sales in response to changing market conditions may not achieve the success we anticipate; our ability to further raise prices in the future may be limited, 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, Marine Products relies upon third-party dealer floor plan lenders which provide financing to its network of independent dealers, interest rates and fuel prices affect Marine Products' sales, Marine Products' dependence on its network of independent boat dealers may affect its operating results and sales, Marine Products' financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected by boat dealer defaults, Marine Products' sales are affected by weather conditions, which may involve long-term impact from global warming, Marine Products encounters intense competition which affects our sales and profits, because Marine Products relies on third-party suppliers, Marine Products may be unable to obtain adequate raw materials, engines and components at reasonable prices or at all, which could increase our working capital requirements and adversely affect sales and profit margins, increasing expectations from customers, investors and other stakeholders regarding our environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices may affect our business, may create additional costs for us, or expose us to related risks, Marine Products purchases materials and components for boat production, as well as conducts business internationally; these aspects of our business could be affected by tariffs in that higher tariffs could increase materials costs and/or result in higher inflation, which typically results in higher interest rates that could translate into an increased cost of boat ownership, causing prospective buyers to choose to forego or delay boat purchases, and in addition, the higher prices of materials caused by tariffs would increase the costs of manufacturing our products, and could negatively affect our profit

Non-GAAP Measures

Marine Products Corporation has used the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, (LBITDA) EBITDA, (LBITDA) EBITDA margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow in today's earnings release. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance or liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that presenting adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per share enables investors to compare our core operating performance consistently over various time periods without regard to merger related costs. Management believes that presenting (LBITDA) EBITDA and (LBITDA) EBITDA margin enable investors to compare our core operating performance consistently over various time periods without regard to changes in our capital structure, while adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin enables investors to compare our core operating performance consistently over various time periods without regard to merger related costs and capital structure. Management believes 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’ liquidity. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, Marine Products’ definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, management believes it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either 1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows, or 2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.

Set forth in the appendices below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with their most directly comparable GAAP measures. These reconciliations also appear on Marine Products Corporation’s investor website, which can be found on the Internet at www.marineproductscorp.com.
