FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
For the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company continued to deliver strong financial results which contributed to exceed its previously announced Fiscal 2023 financial guidance. The demand for our products continued to be strong, as evidenced by the increase of 21% in the Company’s North American retail sales for Powersports Products during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023 compared to the same period last year.
The increase in revenues for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023 compared to Fiscal 2022 is mainly explained by a strong consumer demand. It was supported by the additional available capacity such as the new Juarez-3 facility dedicated to SSV production, successful new product introductions, and the final completion of its substantially completed units available for retail allowing to achieve record high revenues during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023. The supply chain is gradually returning to a more stable level, however we continue to incur production inefficiencies resulting in higher production costs. Most Powersports product lines favorably contributed to the strong revenue growth compared to the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, resulting in higher profitability than last year.
Revenues
Revenues increased by $728.8 million, or 31.0%, to $3,076.3 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $2,347.5 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2022. The revenue increase was primarily driven by a higher wholesale volume across all product lines due to strong retail demand, and the introduction of the Sea-Doo pontoon. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $73 million.
- Year-Round Products [6] (41% of Q4-23 revenues): Revenues from Year-Round Products increased by $401.7 million, or 47.1%, to $1,254.8 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $853.1 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was due to a higher volume and favorable pricing across all product lines. The higher volume of SSV sold was driven by strong market demand and increased production capacity. The increase in ATV and 3WV volume was due to better product availability. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $35 million.
- Seasonal Products [7] (43% of Q4-23 revenues): Revenues from Seasonal Products increased by $270.6 million, or 25.8%, to $1,319.5 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $1,048.9 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was due to a higher volume of PWC sold along with favorable pricing across all product lines and the introduction of the Sea-Doo pontoon. The higher volume of PWC sold was driven by strong market demand and better product availability. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the volume of snowmobiles sold resulting from the suspension of sales in Russia. The increase also includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $17 million.
- Powersports PA&A and OEM Engines [7] (12% of Q4-23 revenues): Revenues from Powersports PA&A and OEM Engines increased by $67.6 million, or 21.8%, to $378.3 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $310.7 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was due to a higher volume of PA&A coming from strong unit retail sales, combined with favourable pricing and the introduction of the Sea-Doo pontoon. The increase also includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $15 million.
- Marine [7] (4% of Q4-23 revenues): Revenues from the Marine segment decreased by $10.5 million, or 7.6%, to $128.5 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $139.0 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2022. The decrease was due to a lower volume of boats sold due to supply chain disruptions, which slowed down the introduction of new products, partially offset by favourable pricing in addition to a favourable mix of boats sold. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $6 million.

North American Retail Sales
The Company’s North American retail sales for Powersports products increased by 21%, or 19% when excluding pontoons for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023 compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to PWC and SSV.
- Year-Round Products: retail sales increased on a percentage basis in the mid-thirties range compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2022.
- Seasonal Products: retail sales increased on a percentage basis in the low-teens range compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2022.
- Marine: boat retail sales decreased by 57% compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2022.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by $178.1 million, or 29.2%, to $787.6 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $609.5 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2022. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to the favorable volume of SSV and PWC sold and a favorable pricing across all product lines. Gross profit margin percentage decreased by 40 basis points to 25.6% from 26.0% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022. The slight decrease in gross profit margin percentage was attributable to higher logistics, commodities and labour costs due to inefficiencies related to supply chain disruptions and inflation, and higher sales programs resulting from historical low levels in Fiscal 2022. The decrease was partially offset by higher volume and favorable pricing.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased by $87.8 million, or 33.4%, to $350.7 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $262.9 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was mainly attributable to higher general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses, mainly for the modernization of the Company’s software infrastructure to support future growth, increases in research and development (“R&D”) expenses and selling and marketing to support future growth, and continued product investments.
Normalized EBITDA [8]
Normalized EBITDA [8] increased by $111.6 million, or 26.8%, to $528.0 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $416.4 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Net Income
Net income increased by $155.5 million or 74.2%, to $365.1 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $209.6 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a higher operating income and a favorable foreign exchange rate variation impact on the U.S. denominated long-term debt, partially offset by net financing costs and a higher income tax expense.
Revenues
Revenues increased by $2,385.5 million, or 31.2%, to $10,033.4 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $7,647.9 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a higher volume of SSV, snowmobile, 3WV and PWC sold, the introduction of Sea-Doo pontoons and favorable pricing across all product lines. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $107 million.
Normalized EBITDA [8]
Normalized EBITDA [8] increased by $244.2 million, or 16.7%, to $1,706.3 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $1,462.1 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher operating expenses, mostly in R&D and G&A.
Net Income
Net income increased by $70.8 million to $865.4 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2023, compared to $794.6 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2022. The increase in net income was primarily due to a higher operating income and lower net financing costs, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of the foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt and a higher income tax expense.

These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the factors that could affect the Company; however, these factors should be considered carefully. Unless otherwise stated, the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date of this press release and the Company has no intention and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, or changes in beliefs, unless required by applicable securities regulations. In the event that the Company does update any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, no inference should be made that the Company will make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters or any other forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
The Company made a number of economic, market and operational assumptions in preparing and making certain forward-looking statements contained in this press release, including the following: reasonable industry growth ranging from slightly down to slightly up, that is based on the assumption that supply chain disruptions continue to improve; market share will remain constant or moderately increase; stable global and North American economic conditions, a limited impact from the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic; main currencies in which the Company operates will remain at near current levels; inflation is expected to remain elevated from strong demand, supply shortages and high energy prices, and is expected to gradually decline as central banks gradually increase interest rates; there will be no significant changes in tax laws or free trade arrangements or treaties applicable to the Company; the Company’s margins, will remain at current levels; the supply base will remain able to support product development and planned production rates on commercially acceptable terms in a timely manner; no new trade barriers will be imposed amongst jurisdictions in which the Company carries operations; the absence of unusually adverse weather conditions, especially in peak seasons. The Company cautions that its assumptions may not materialize and that global economic and political conditions, combined with one or more of the risks and uncertainties discussed herein, may render such assumptions, although believed reasonable at the time they were made, inaccurate. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company or the industry to be materially different from the outlook or any future results or performance implied by such statements.
This press release makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. The Company uses non-IFRS measures including the following:

The Company believes non-IFRS measures are important supplemental measures of financial performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on the Company’s financial performance and thus highlight trends in its core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. Management also uses aforementioned non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate financial performance comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets, assess the Company’s ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and also as a component in the determination of the short-term incentive compensation for the Company’s employees. Because other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the Company does, these metrics are not comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The Company refers the reader to the table below for the reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures presented by the Company to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.
The following table presents the reconciliation of Net income to Normalized net income [1] and Normalized EBITDA [1].
