Recent events – Highlights from Club BRP 2026
- The Company sustained its momentum in driving innovation with the launch of several industry-firsts and breakthrough products, namely the new generation of the Can-Am Defender SSV, the Can-Am Outlander Electric ATV, the Can-Am Outlander MAX 6x6 – the ultimate utility ATV – as well as the highly-anticipated 300 hp Rotax engine on certain Sea-Doo Switch models.
"We are pleased with our second-quarter results which, in the macroeconomic context, were better than expected. We are coming off a successful dealer event, during which we unveiled a significant number of industry-leading products and witnessed a strong upswing in dealer sentiment. The timing of these new introductions could not be better given our healthier inventory levels," said
"In the short term, we anticipate a solid second half of the year, as reflected in the FY26 guidance we have issued. Looking ahead, with our comprehensive product portfolio, leaner inventory position, and solid dealer network, we are the best-positioned to benefit from the industry rebound. We remain focused on building a strong future and driving long-term profitable growth for BRP and our dealers," concluded

CAUTION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this press release, including, but not limited to, statements relating to the Company's Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance & Outlook and related assumptions (including without limitation Revenues, Normalized EBITDA, Normalized Earnings per Share – Diluted, Net Income, Depreciation Expenses Adjusted, Net Financing Costs Adjusted, Effective Tax Rates, Weighted Average Number of Shares – diluted and Capital Expenditures), statements relating to the declaration and payment of dividends, statements about the Company's current and future plans, prospects, expectations, anticipations, estimates and intentions, results, levels of activity, performance, objectives, targets, goals or achievements, priorities and strategies, including its continued focus on tight network inventory management, product mix, production and pricing efficiencies, sustained promotional efforts and proactive production management to maintain dealer value proposition, financial position, including its approach to foreign exchange fluctuations, market position, including expected market share volatility notably in light of fluctuating inventory levels from other OEMs, capabilities, competitive strengths, beliefs, the prospects and trends of the industries in which the Company operates, including softer industry demand trends and sustained promotional intensity and pricing actions, the expected demand for products and services in the markets in which the Company competes, the ongoing commitment to invest in research and product development activities and push the boundaries of innovation, including the expectation of regular flow of new product introductions and development of market-shaping products, the projected design, characteristics, capacity or performance of future products and their expected scheduled entry to market, expected financial requirements and the availability of capital resources and liquidity, the Company's ability to complete its process for the sale of its Marine businesses as expected and to manage and mitigate the risks associated therewith, including the ability to separate the Marine businesses within the anticipated time periods, at expected cost levels and expected proceeds, the impact of the sale of the Marine businesses, including its ability to double down on Powersports and capitalize on market opportunities, and any other future events or developments and other statements that are not historical facts constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The words "may", "will", "would", "should", "could", "expects", "forecasts", "plans", "intends", "trends", "indications", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "outlook", "predicts", "projects", "likely" or "potential" or the negative or other variations of these words or other comparable words or phrases, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are presented for the purpose of assisting readers in understanding certain key elements of the Company's current objectives, goals, targets, strategic priorities, expectations and plans, and in obtaining a better understanding of the Company's business and anticipated operating environment. Readers are cautioned that such information may not be appropriate for other purposes; readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein. Forward-looking statements, by their very nature, involve inherent risks and uncertainties and are based on a number of assumptions, both general and specific, as further described below.
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 2025 ("the 2025 MD&A") for the fiscal year ended on
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
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 |
|
|
|
|
|||
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.
