Marine Products Corporation experienced an increase in net sales and gross profit in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year, driven by price/mix increases and improved manufacturing cost absorption. However, net income, diluted EPS, and EBITDA declined due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses, including increased R&D investments and warranty costs.
Net sales increased by 7% to $53.1 million, primarily due to a 7% price/mix increase.
Gross profit rose by 11% to $10.2 million, with gross margin improving by 80 basis points to 19.2%.
Net income decreased to $2.7 million from $3.4 million in the prior year, and diluted EPS fell to $0.07 from $0.10.
EBITDA was $3.7 million, down from $4.3 million, with EBITDA margin decreasing by 170 basis points to 6.9%.
Management is cautiously optimistic about reaching a turning point in the industry, with dealer inventory adjusting to stabilizing demand and strong interest in larger boats and new model year offerings. They anticipate potential benefits from lower interest rates for finance buyers and improved clarity on tariffs.
