Executive summary

  • Net sales rose 3.1% year-over-year to $235.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, driven by the Saxdor acquisition and favorable model/segment mix, despite a decline in unit volume.

  • Gross profit declined 9.7% to $41.3 million, with gross margin down 250 basis points to 17.5% due to higher per-unit costs and fixed cost deleveraging.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $22.7 million (9.6% margin), down from $28.3 million (12.4% margin) year-over-year.

  • GAAP net loss was $2.4 million versus net income of $13.2 million last year, mainly due to acquisition and integration expenses.

  • Acquisition of Saxdor Yachts completed in March 2026, expanding the portfolio into premium adventure dayboats and establishing a global platform.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
