• BRP also formally launched its Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin all-electric motorcycle lineup, marking its official entry into the electric motorcycle industry.

VALCOURT, QC, Sept. 6, 2024 /CNW/ - BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO) today reported its financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2024. All financial information is in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. The complete financial results are available on SEDAR+ and EDGAR as well as in the section Quarterly Reports of BRP's website.

"Our results were in line with expectations and reflect our ongoing focus on reducing network inventory to maintain our dealer value proposition. We have made great strides on that front, but the retail environment is more challenging with the economic context pressuring consumer demand. As such, our priority is to continue to proactively manage production and inventory levels, which leads us to revise our year-end guidance," said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP.

"We are coming off a successful dealer event, during which we introduced industry-leading innovations, including our Can-Am electric motorcycles, reflecting our ongoing commitment to investing in R&D. Looking ahead, we have every confidence in our long-term strategy, and remain focused on building a strong future.

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

As planned, the Company maintained its focus on reducing network inventory levels during the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, resulting in a decrease in the volume of shipments, consequently leading to a decline in revenues compared to the same period last year. The decrease in the volume of shipments, higher sales programs due to increased promotional intensity and decreased leverage of fixed costs as a result of reduced shipments have led to a decrease in the gross profit and gross profit margin compared to the same period last year. This decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix.

The Company's North American quarterly retail sales for Powersport Products were down 18% for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024. The decrease is mainly explained by softer industry demand in both Seasonal and Year-Round Products.

Revenues

Revenues decreased by $936.1 million, or 33.7%, to $1,841.9 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $2,778.0 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a lower volume sold across all product lines, as the Company maintained its focus on reducing network inventory levels, and higher sales programs. The decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix across most product lines. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $29 million.

• Year-Round Products ^[5] (54% of Q2-FY25 revenues): Revenues from Year-Round Products decreased by $476.6 million, or 32.6%, to $985.0 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $1,461.6 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues from Year-Round Products was primarily attributable to a lower volume sold across all product lines, as the Company maintained its focus on reducing network inventory levels, and higher sales programs. The decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix of SSV and 3WV. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $18 million.
  
  
• Seasonal Products ^[5] (29% of Q2-FY25 revenues): Revenues from Seasonal Products decreased by $355.7 million, or 39.6%, to $541.8 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $897.5 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues from Seasonal Products was primarily attributable to a lower volume sold across all product lines, as the Company maintained its focus on reducing network inventory levels, and higher sales programs. The decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix across all product lines. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $8 million.
  
  
• Powersports PA&A and OEM Engines ^[5] (14% of Q2-FY25 revenues): Revenues from Powersports PA&A and OEM Engines decreased by $35.9 million, or 12.2%, to $258.3 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $294.2 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues from Powersports PA&A and OEM Engines was primarily attributable to a lower volume sold due to a high network inventory level in Snowmobile and decrease in retail in other product lines. The decrease also includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $3 million.
  
  
• Marine ^[5] (3% of Q2-FY25 revenues): Revenues from the Marine segment decreased by $67.5 million, or 53.2%, to $59.4 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $126.9 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues from the Marine segment was mainly attributable to a lower volume sold due to high dealer inventory, softer consumer demand in the industry, and higher sales programs.

[5] The inter-segment transactions are included in the analysis.

North American Retail Sales

The Company's North American retail sales for Powersports Products decreased by 18% for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024 compared to the same period last year. The decrease is mainly explained by softer industry demand in both Seasonal and Year-Round Products.

• North American Year-Round Products retail sales decreased on a percentage basis in the low teens range compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 2023. In comparison, the Year-Round Products industry decreased on a percentage basis in the mid-single digits over the same period.
• North American Seasonal Products retail sales decreased on a percentage basis in the high-twenties range compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 2023. The Seasonal Products industry decreased on a percentage basis in the high-teens range over the same period.

The Company's North American retail sales for Marine Products increased by 35% compared to the three-month period ended July 31, 2023, given a low retail volume period as basis of comparison.

Gross profit
Gross profit decreased by $321.1 million, or 46.0%, to $376.5 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $697.6 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2023. Gross profit margin percentage decreased by 470 basis points to 20.4% from 25.1% for the three-month period ended July 31, 2023. The decreases in gross profit and gross profit margin percentage were the result of a lower volume sold, higher sales programs, and decreased leverage of fixed costs as a result of reduced shipments. The decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix across most product lines. The decrease in gross profit includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $9 million.

Operating expenses
Operating expenses decreased by $16.7 million, or 5.2%, to $302.1 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $318.8 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly attributable to lower R&D expenses due to the recognition of R&D subsidies from prior years. The decrease was partially offset by restructuring and reorganization costs. The decrease in operating expenses includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $2 million.

Normalized EBITDA ^[1]
Normalized EBITDA ^[1] decreased by $274.6 million, or 58.0%, to $198.5 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $473.1 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in normalized EBITDA ^[1] was primarily due to lower gross margin, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

Net Income
Net income decreased by $331.5 million to $7.2 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $338.7 million for the three-month period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a lower operating income, resulting from a lower gross margin, in addition to an increase in financing costs and an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt. The decrease was partially offset by a lower income tax expense.

[5] The inter-segment transactions are included in the analysis.

SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 2024

Revenues
Revenues decreased by $1,333.8 million, or 25.6%, to $3,873.6 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $5,207.4 million for the corresponding period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a lower volume sold across all product lines, as the Company maintained its focus on reducing network inventory levels, and higher sales programs. The decrease was partially offset by favourable product mix across most product lines. The decrease includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $46 million.

Normalized EBITDA ^[1]
Normalized EBITDA ^[1] decreased by $404.5 million, or 47.6%, to $445.7 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $850.2 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in Normalized EBITDA ^[1] was primarily due to a lower gross margin, slightly offset by lower operating expenses.

Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) decreased by $493.4 million to $(0.2) million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2024, compared to $493.2 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily due to lower operating income, resulting from a lower gross margin, in addition to an increase in financing costs and an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt. The decrease was partially offset by a lower income tax expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generated net cash flows from operating activities totaling $253.0 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2024 compared to net cash flows of $748.2 million for the six-month period ended July 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to lower profitability and unfavourable changes in working capital, partially offset by lower income taxes paid. The unfavourable changes in working capital were the result of maintaining higher provisions, which reflected the industry's promotional intensity, and a decrease in trade payables due to a reduction in purchasing activities.

The Company invested $180.7 million of its liquidity in capital expenditures for the introduction of new products and modernization of the Company's software infrastructure to support future growth.

During the six-month period ended July 31, 2024, the Company also returned $246.2 million to its shareholders through quarterly dividend payouts and its share repurchase programs.

Dividend
On September 5, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share for holders of its multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares. The dividend will be paid on October 11, 2024 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 27, 2024.

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.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

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 without limitation the following assumptions: softer industry demand in both Seasonal and Year-Round Products and an increasingly challenging macroeconomic environment; expected market share volatility; no further deterioration of the conflict in the Middle-East; no return of the mandatory inspections implemented on all cargo trucks crossing the Mexico-Texas border to an extent that would result in major business disruptions; main currencies in which the Company operates will remain at near current levels; easing, but still elevated, levels of inflation; there will be no significant changes in tax laws or free trade arrangements or treaties applicable to the Company; the Company's margins are expected to be further pressured by lower volumes; 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 the currently challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environments in which it evolves may render such assumptions, although believed reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. 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.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

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:

Non-IFRS measures	Definition	Reason for use
Normalized EBITDA	Net income before financing costs, financing income, income tax expense (recovery), depreciation expense and normalized elements.	Assist investors in determining the financial performance of the Company's operating activities on a consistent basis by excluding certain non-cash elements such as depreciation expense, impairment charge, foreign exchange gain or loss on the Company's long-term debt denominated in U.S. dollars and foreign exchange gain or loss on certain of the Company's lease liabilities. Other elements, such as restructuring and wind-down costs, non-recurring gain or loss and acquisition-related costs, may be excluded from net income in the determination of Normalized EBITDA as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.
Normalized net income	Net income before normalized elements adjusted to reflect the tax effect on these elements	In addition to the financial performance of operating activities, this measure considers the impact of investing activities, financing activities and income taxes on the Company's financial results.
Normalized income tax expense	Income tax expense adjusted to reflect the tax effect on normalized elements and to normalize specific tax elements	Assist investors in determining the tax expense relating to the normalized items explained above, as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.
Normalized effective tax rate	Based on Normalized net income before Normalized income tax expense	Assist investors in determining the effective tax rate including the normalized items explained above, as they are considered not being reflective of the operational performance of the Company.
Normalized earnings per share – diluted	Calculated by dividing the Normalized net income by the weighted average number of shares – diluted	Assist investors in determining the normalized financial performance of the Company's activities on a per share basis.
Free cash flow	Cash flows from operating activities less additions to PP&E and intangible assets	Assist investors in assessing the Company's liquidity generation abilities that could be available for shareholders, debt repayment and business combination, after capital expenditure

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 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 tables below for the reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures presented by the Company to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.
