FY27 Quarterly Outlook ^[5]

The Company expects Q1 Fiscal 2027 Normalized EBITDA ^[1] to be up approximatively 40% versus the same three-month period in Fiscal 2026.

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.

• Year-Round Products (54% of Q4-FY26 revenues): Revenues from Year-Round Products increased by $189.2 million, or 16.8%, to $1,317.2 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $1,128.0 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in revenues from Year-Round Products was primarily attributable to a favourable product mix and to a higher volume of units sold in ORV driven by the introduction of new models and features. The increase was also attributable to favourable pricing net of sales programs across most product lines, partially offset by lower volume of units sold in 3WV. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $8 million.
• Seasonal Products (32% of Q4-FY26 revenues): Revenues from Seasonal Products increased by $118.8 million, or 17.5%, to $796.4 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $677.6 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in revenues from Seasonal Products was primarily attributable to a higher volume of units sold in PWC compared to the same period last year, which had been impacted by network inventory reduction. The increase was also attributable to a higher volume of units sold and favourable product mix in Snowmobile, as well as favourable pricing net of sales programs across most product lines. The increase was partially offset by a lower volume of units sold in Pontoon. The increase includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $7 million.
• PA&A, OEM Engines and Others (14% of Q4-FY26 revenues): Revenues from PA&A, OEM Engines and Others increased by $31.0 million, or 9.9%, to $343.7 million for the three-month period ended January 31, 2026, compared to $312.7 million for the corresponding period ended January 31, 2025. The increase in revenues from PA&A, OEM Engines and Others was primarily attributable to a higher volume of PA&A sold and favourable pricing net of sales programs, partially offset by unfavourable product mix in OEM Engines. The increase also includes a favourable foreign exchange rate variation of $3 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.

• North American Year-Round Products retail sales increased on a percentage basis in the high-single digits compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The Year-Round Products industry sales were flat over the same period.
• North American Seasonal Products retail sales increased on a percentage basis in the mid-teens range compared to the three-month period ended January 31, 2025. The Seasonal Products industry sales increased on a percentage basis in the high-single digits over the same period.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Reconciliation Tables ^[2]

The following tables present the reconciliation of non-IFRS measures compared to their respective IFRS measures:

The following table ^[2] presents the reconciliation of items as included in the Normalized net income ^[1] and Normalized EBITDA ^[1] compared to respective IFRS measures as well as the Normalized EPS – basic and diluted ^[1] calculation.
