Marine Products Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results And Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend

, /PRNewswire/ -- Marine Products Corporation (NYSE: MPX) (the "Company"), a leading manufacturer of fiberglass boats, announced its unaudited results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. * Non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA, EBITDA margin, and free cash flow are reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures in the appendices of this earnings release. * All comparisons are year-over-year to 2Q:24 unless stated otherwise. Second Quarter 2025 Results Net sales decreased 3% year-over-year to $67.7 million Net income was $4.2 million, down 25% year-over-year, and diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) was $0.12; Net income margin decreased 190 basis points to 6.1% Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) was $5.6 million, down 13% year-over-year; EBITDA margin decreased 100 basis points to 8.3% The Company generated strong operating cash flow and free cashflow and ended the quarter with approximately $50.2 million in cash and no debt Effective management of field inventory has allowed us to maintain reasonable production levels and manage operational efficiencies during the quarter Management Commentary "Second quarter results reflected a stabilization of demand and a more balanced environment," stated Ben M. Palmer, Marine Products' President and Chief Executive Officer. "Second quarter sales were down 3% year-over-year; however, shipments and sales grew sequentially again this quarter and are now solidly off second half of 2024 lows. We are excited about our model year 2026 introductions, which feature new models, enhancements across the entire portfolio, and thoughtful approaches to offer cost-effective alternatives." "Tariffs and macro risks remain top of mind, with dealers and retail consumers remaining cautious overall. Thus far, supplier cost increases have been manageable, alleviating the concern that the 2026 model year pricing would be up significantly, but risks still persist as tariff policies continue to evolve. The interest rate outlook continues to be cloudy although there are market expectations for rate cuts later this year." "We are extremely proud of the responsiveness and resiliency our employees, operations, and dealers have shown in this environment. Our strong balance sheet, cash position and disciplined management of production levels relative to retail demand and field inventory afford us the ability to continue to invest in the business internally and through strategic opportunities," concluded Palmer. 2Q:25 Consolidated Financial Results (year-over-year comparisons versus 2Q:24) Net sales were $67.7 million, down 3%. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to a 13% decrease in the number of boats sold during the quarter, substantially offset by a price/mix increase of 10%. The year-over-year sales decline was more modest versus recent quarters as comparisons ease and field inventories return to more balanced levels. The Company's field unit inventory at the end of 2Q:25 was approximately 11% below 2Q:24. Gross profit was $12.9 million, down 2%. Gross margin was 19.1%, up 20 basis points versus the prior year period. Gross margin improved as production schedules stabilized with demand resulting in manufacturing cost efficiencies. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.1 million, up 9%, and represented 12.0% of net sales, up 130 basis points versus the prior year period. The increase in SG&A expenses was largely due to an increase in R&D investments and timing of incentive compensation accruals. Interest income of $476 thousand decreased due to lower cash balances as a result of the Company's special dividend paid during the second quarter of 2024. Income tax provision was $1.1 million, or 21.3% of income before income taxes, up 560 basis points. Net income and diluted EPS were $4.2 million and $0.12, respectively, down from $5.6 million and $0.14, respectively, in 2Q:24. Net income margin was 6.1%, down 190 basis points. EBITDA was $5.6 million, down from $6.5 million. EBITDA margin was 8.3%, down 100 basis points from last year's second quarter. Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation Cash and cash equivalents were $50.2 million at the end of 2Q:25, with no outstanding borrowings under the Company's $20 million revolving credit facility. Net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow were $9.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively, year-to-date through 2Q:25. The Company expects full year 2025 capital expenditures to be approximately $3 million. Payment of dividends totaled $9.8 million year-to-date through 2Q:25. Additionally, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.14 per share payable on September 10, 2025, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on August 11, 2025.

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: our belief in demand stabilization and a more balance environment; our excitement about the model year 2026 introductions; our belief in product enhancements and our thoughtful approach to the market; our belief that tariffs and macro risks remain top of mind causing dealers and retail consumers to remain cautious overall; our belief that supplier cost increases have been manageable and have alleviated pricing concerns that the 2026 model year pricing would be up significantly; our belief that tariffs remain a risk as tariff policies continue to evolve; our belief that the interest rate outlook remains cloudy and that the market expects rate cuts this year; our belief in the responsiveness and resiliency our employees, operations, and dealers in the current environment; our belief that our strong balance sheet, cash position and disciplined management of production levels relative to retail demand and field inventory afford us the ability to invest in the business internally and through strategic opportunities; our expectation that full year 2025 capital expenditures will be approximately $3 million; our belief that the Company continues to diversify its product lines through product innovation; and our belief that our premium brands, a solid capital structure, and a strong independent dealer network allows us to capitalize on opportunities to increase our market share and generate superior financial performance to build long-term shareholder value. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur or our strategies not to succeed as expected include the following: negative economic conditions, including increased tariffs, unavailability of credit and possible decreases in the level of consumer confidence impacting discretionary spending; business interruptions due to, e.g., adverse weather conditions, supply chain disruptions and/or further increased interest rates; our retail incentives and allowances may not successfully increase consumer demand as anticipated; due to negative impacts to the overall economy, industry or competition, our adjustments to production levels may not match demand; increased cost of boat ownership makes it more difficult to raise prices in the future to compensate for increased costs; our new model launches may not match dealer and consumer preferences, which are inherently uncertain; and our ability to manage manufacturing costs may be constrained in light of lower production levels. Additional factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from management's projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations are contained in Marine Products' Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the year ended December 31, 2024.

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 EBITDA and EBITDA margin enables investors to compare our operating performance consistently over various time periods without regard to changes in our 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.
