FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
During the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, the Company delivered double-digit revenue growth compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a favourable ORV product mix driven by the introduction of new models and features, as well as higher shipments in this product category. Revenue growth also resulted from higher PWC shipments compared to the same period last year, which had been impacted by network inventory reduction. Gross profit and gross profit margin increased compared to last year, driven by the favourable impacts of volume and pricing net of sales programs, which were partially offset by the impacts of global tariffs mainly on PA&A, provisions related to EV products, increased warranty expenses and higher incentive compensation costs. The provisions related to EV products represented an unfavourable impact of $28.5 million or 116 basis points on gross profit and gross profit margin respectively. Additionally, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $229.8 million on the EV assets and light mobility cash generating unit ("CGU"), reflecting the challenges in the EV industry and the dynamics within the light mobility market.
The Company's North American retail sales were up 12% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period last year. The increase in retail sales is driven by stronger Snowmobile industry volumes compared to last year, which had been affected by late snowfalls, and by market share gains in ORV and Snowmobile.
Revenues
Revenues increased by $339.0 million, or 16.0%, to $2,457.3 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $2,118.3 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a favourable ORV product mix driven by the introduction of new models and features, as well as higher shipments in this product category. The increase also resulted from higher PWC shipments compared to the same period last year, which had been impacted by network inventory reduction. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $18 million.
North American Retail Sales
The Company's North American retail sales increased by 12% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026 compared to the same period last year. The increase in retail sales is driven by stronger Snowmobile industry volumes compared to last year, which had been affected by late snowfalls, and by market share gains in ORV and Snowmobile.
Gross profit
Gross profit increased by $131.8 million, or 31.2%, to $553.6 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $421.8 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. Gross profit margin percentage increased by 260 basis points to 22.5% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to 19.9% for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increases in gross profit and gross profit margin were driven by the favourable impacts of volume and pricing net of sales programs, which were partially offset by the impacts of global tariffs mainly on PA&A, provisions related to EV products, increased warranty expenses and higher incentive compensation costs. The increase in gross profit includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $14 million.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $223.4 million, or 70.3%, to $541.1 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $317.7 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in operating expenses was mainly attributable to the impairment charges taken on the EV assets and light mobility CGU, as well as higher incentive compensation costs. The increase was partially offset by the reversal of the non-controlling interest liability during the three-month period ended January 31, 2026. The increase in operating expenses includes an unfavourable foreign exchange rate variation of $2 million.
Normalized EBITDA [1]
Normalized EBITDA [1] increased by $116.8 million, or 47.3%, to $363.8 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $247.0 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in normalized EBITDA [1] was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income increased by $96.3 million, or 190.7%, to $45.8 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $(50.5) million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in net income was primarily due to a favourable foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt and to higher gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses due to the impairment charges taken on the EV assets and light mobility CGU.
Normalized Net Income [1]
Normalized net income [1] increased by $86.5 million, or 112.6%, to $163.3 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $76.8 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in normalized net income [1] was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses.

See "Non-IFRS Measures" section of this press release.
Net Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
Net income from discontinued operations increased by $170.2 million, or 100.7%, to $1.1 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $(169.1) million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in net income from discontinued operations was primarily due to the impairment charges recorded on the Marine businesses' assets held for sale during the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, as well as the closing of the sales of Alumacraft's and Manitou's assets during the three-month periods ended July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2025 respectively.
TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 2026
Revenues
Revenues increased by $539.8 million, or 6.8%, to $8,442.7 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $7,902.9 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a favourable ORV product mix following the introduction of new models and features, as well as higher shipments in this product category. The increase was partially offset by lower shipments and higher sales programs across most Seasonal Products. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $103 million.
Normalized EBITDA [1]
Normalized EBITDA [1] increased by $45.6 million, or 4.3%, to $1,103.4 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $1,057.8 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in Normalized EBITDA [1] was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses.
Net Income
Net income increased by $275.8 million, or 426.9%, to $340.4 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $64.6 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in net income was primarily due to a favourable foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt and to a lower income tax expense. The increase was partially offset by lower operating income and higher net financing costs.
Normalized Net Income [1]
Normalized net income [1] increased by $20.2 million, or 5.6%, to $382.5 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $362.3 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in normalized net income [1] was primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses.
Net Loss from Discontinued Operations
Net loss from discontinued operations decreased by $226.5 million, or 81.6%, to $(51.1) million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $(277.6) million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025. The decrease in net loss from discontinued operations was primarily due to the impairment charges recorded on the Marine businesses' assets held for sale during the three-month period ended January 31, 2025, as well as the closing of the sales of Alumacraft's and Manitou's assets during the three-month periods ended July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2025 respectively.

See "Non-IFRS Measures" section of this press release.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Consolidated net cash flows generated from operating activities totaled $1,212.5 million for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $688.2 million generated for the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2025. The increase was mainly due to favourable changes in working capital, higher profitability and lower income taxes paid. The favourable changes in working capital were the result of increased trade payables and accruals due to higher average payment terms, as well as decreased trade and other receivables. The favourable changes in working capital were partially offset by a smaller decrease in inventories and unfavourable changes in provisions.
The Company invested $318.4 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, as well as closed the sales of Alumacraft's and Manitou's assets.
During the twelve-month period ended January 31, 2026, the Company also returned $113.2 million to its shareholders through quarterly dividend payouts and share repurchase programs. The Company also repaid U.S. $200.8 million of its Term Facility concurrent to its amendment.
Dividend
On March 25, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share for holders of its multiple voting shares and subordinate voting shares. The dividend will be paid on April 24, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 10, 2026.

Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, involve inherent risks and uncertainties and are based on a number of assumptions, both general and specific. The Company cautions that its assumptions may not materialize and that the currently challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environments in which it evolves, including specifically the uncertainty around the potential imposition of new duties, tariffs and other trade restrictions (and any retaliatory measures) as well as the ongoing geopolitical instability in the Middle East, 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.
In addition, many factors could cause the Company's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements or future events or developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, the following factors, which are discussed in greater detail under the heading "Risk Factors" of the Company's management's discussion and analysis for Fiscal 2026 (the "2026 MD&A") for the fiscal year ended on January 31, 2026 and in other continuous disclosure materials filed from time to time with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and the Securities and Exchange Commission: economic conditions that impact consumer spending; inability to attract, hire and retain the services of key employees, including members of its management team, or qualified employees, including employees who possess specialized market knowledge and technical skills; failure of the Company's information technology systems, difficulties in the continued implementation of its ERP system or a security breach or cyber-attack; international sales and operations subject it to additional risks; inability to successfully execute its strategic plan; any decline in the social acceptability of the Company or of the Company's products or any increased restrictions on the access or the use of the Company's products in certain locations; supply problems, termination or interruption of supply arrangements or increases in the cost of materials; indebtedness with no assurance that the Company will be able to pay its indebtedness as it becomes due; any unavailability of additional capital; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; unfavourable weather conditions, and climate change, seasonal nature of the Company's business and some of its products; reliance on a network of independent dealers and distributors to manage the retail distribution of its products and failure to establish or maintain the appropriate level of dealers and distributors; inability of dealers and distributors to secure adequate access to capital; inability to comply with laws, rules and regulations regarding product safety, health, environmental, noise pollution, privacy matters and other issues; potential vulnerability of connected products to cyber-attacks; the Company's large fixed cost base; intense competition in all product lines and any failure to compete effectively against competitors or any failure to meet consumers' evolving expectations; any failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting; reliance upon the continued strength of its reputation and brands; adverse determination in any significant product liability claim against the Company; significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls; failure to carry adequate insurance coverage; failure to successfully manage inventory levels, both at the Company's and the dealers' and distributors' levels, inability to protect the Company's intellectual property; the Company's inability to successfully execute its manufacturing strategy or to adjust to fluctuating customer demand as a result of manufacturing capacity constraints; increased freight and shipping costs or disruptions in transportation and shipping infrastructure; covenants contained in agreements to which the Company is a party affecting and, in some cases, significantly limiting or prohibiting the manner in which the Company operates its businesses; impact of tax matters and changes in tax laws; impairment of the carrying value of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful life; deterioration in relationships with the Company's non-unionized and unionized employees; pension plan liability; natural disasters, unusually adverse weather, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, boycotts and geo-political events; volatility in the market price for the Subordinate Voting Shares; dependence on the earnings of its subsidiaries and the distribution of those earnings to BRP Inc.; the significant influence of Beaudier Group and Bain Capital; and future sales of Subordinate Voting Shares by Beaudier Group, Bain Capital, directors, officers or senior management of the Company. 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.
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 industries in both Seasonal and Year-Round Products and a continuously challenging macroeconomic environment; expected market share volatility; main currencies in which the Company operates will remain at near current levels; levels of inflation, which are expected to continue to ease; there will be no significant changes in tax laws or treaties applicable to the Company; the Company's margins are expected to continue to be 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; the absence of unusually adverse weather conditions, especially in peak seasons. BRP cautions that its assumptions may not materialize, and that the currently challenging macroeconomic and geopolitical environment in which it evolves may render such assumptions, although believed reasonable at the time they were made, subject to greater uncertainty. Specifically, these assumptions do not incorporate the imposition of wide-ranging U.S. tariffs, including tariffs on all imports from Canada and Mexico, and potential retaliatory tariffs. Given the fast-evolving situation and the high degree of uncertainty around the duration of a potential trade war, it is difficult to predict how the effects would flow through the economy. New tariffs could significantly affect the outlooks for economic growth, consumer spending, inflation and the Canadian dollar.
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 – basic and diluted
Calculated by dividing the Normalized net income by the weighted average number of shares – basic and 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.
