NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which consisted of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, ~~2021~~2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the annual report of Marine Products Corporation (“Marine Products,” the “Company” or “MPC”) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

A group that includes ~~a member of the Company’s Board of Directors,~~ Gary W. Rollins, Pamela R. Rollins, Amy Rollins Kreisler and ~~certain companies under his control,~~Timothy C. Rollins, each of whom is a director of the Company, controls in excess of fifty percent of the Company’s voting power.

2.RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The FASB issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs):

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

~~ASU No. 2020-04 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848).~~ ~~The~~ amendments in this ASU provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the impact of the reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments, which are elective, provide expedients to contract modifications, affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference ~~London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)~~ or other reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The Company adopted these provisions in the second quarter of 2022 and expects to replace LIBOR, currently used to accrue interest in its revolving credit agreement, with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) based on the occurrence of any of the triggering events in the agreement. Adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

~~Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:~~

ASU No. 2021-08 — Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU address diversity in practice related to the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination, by adopting guidance requiring an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer would recognize and measure the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities in the same manner that they were recognized and measured in the acquiree's financial statements before the acquisition. The Company ~~plans to adopt~~adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2023 prospectively to future business combinations ~~occurring after January 1, 2023~~ and ~~does~~the adoption did not ~~expect adoption to~~ have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. NET SALES

Accounting Policy:

MPC’s contract revenues are generated principally from selling: (1) fiberglass motorized boats and accessories and (2) parts to independent dealers. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Satisfaction of contract terms occur with the transfer of title of our boats and accessories and parts to our dealers. Net sales are measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the goods to the dealer. The amount of consideration we expect to receive consists of the sales price adjusted for dealer incentives. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold as they are deemed to be assurance-type warranties (see Note 6). Incidental promotional items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Fees charged to customers for shipping and handling are included in Net sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and the related costs incurred by the Company are included in Cost of goods sold.

Nature of goods:

MPC’s performance obligations within its contracts consist of: (1) boats and accessories and (2) parts. The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue on the satisfaction of its performance obligations (point in time) as follows:

●

Boats and accessories (domestic sales) – upon delivery and acceptance by the dealer

●

Boats and accessories (international sales) – upon delivery to shipping port

●

Parts – upon shipment/delivery to carrier

Payment terms:

For most domestic customers, MPC manufactures and delivers boats and accessories and parts ahead of payment - i.e., MPC has fulfilled its performance obligations prior to submitting an invoice to the dealer. MPC invoices the customer when the products are delivered and typically receives the payment within seven to ten business days after invoicing. For some domestic customers and all international customers, MPC requires payment prior to transferring control of the goods. These amounts are classified as deferred revenue and recognized when control has transferred, which generally occurs within three months of receiving the payment.

When the Company enters into contracts with its customers, it generally expects there to be no significant timing difference between the date the goods have been delivered to the customer (satisfaction of the performance obligation) and the date cash consideration is received. Accordingly, there is no financing component to the Company’s arrangements with its customers.

Significant judgments:

Determining the transaction price

The transaction price for MPC’s boats and accessories is the invoice price adjusted for dealer incentives. Key inputs and assumptions in determining variable consideration related to dealer incentives include:

●

Inputs: Current model year boat sales, total potential program incentive percentage, prior model year results of dealer incentive activity (i.e., incentive earned as a percentage of total incentive potential).

●

Assumption: Current model year incentive activity will closely reflect prior model year actual results, adjusted as necessary for dealer purchasing trends or economic factors.

Other:

Our contracts with dealers do not provide them with a right of return. Accordingly, we do not have any obligations recorded for returns or refunds.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. In addition, the Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered participating securities. Restricted shares of common stock (participating securities) outstanding and a reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows:

6. WARRANTY COSTS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

Warranty Costs:

For its Chaparral and Robalo products, Marine Products provides a lifetime limited structural hull warranty and a transferable one-year limited warranty to the original owner. Chaparral also includes a five-year limited structural deck warranty. Warranties for additional items are provided for periods of one to five years and are not transferrable. Additionally, as it relates to the second subsequent owner, a five-year transferrable hull warranty and the remainder of the original one-year limited warranty on certain components are available. The five-year transferable hull warranty terminates five years after the date of the original retail purchase. Claim costs related to components are generally absorbed by the original component manufacturer.

The manufacturers of the engines, generators, and navigation electronics included on our boats provide and administer their own warranties for various lengths of time.

Repurchase Obligations:

The Company is a party to various agreements with third party lenders that provide floor plan financing to qualifying dealers whereby the Company guarantees varying amounts of debt on boats in dealer inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the dealer and the third-party lender. The agreements provide for the return of repossessed boats to the Company in new and unused condition subject to normal wear and tear as defined, in exchange for the Company’s assumption of specified percentages of the debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits by the lenders. The Company had no material repurchases under the contractual agreements during the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2021.~~2022.

Management continues to monitor the risk of defaults and resulting repurchase obligations based in part on information provided by third-party floor plan lenders and will adjust the guarantee liability at the end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time.

The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit, subject to a minimum of $8.0 million, is based on a specified percentage of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our dealers less repurchases during the prior 12 month period, which was a repurchase limit of ~~$8.0~~$8.3 million as of ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately ~~$2.2~~$6.3 million with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with all floor plan financing institutions of approximately ~~$10.2~~$14.6 million as of ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

9. INCOME TAXES

The Company determines its periodic income tax provision based upon the current period income and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for discrete items including tax credits and changes to prior year estimates. The estimated tax rate is adjusted, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during the fiscal year to the Company’s current annual estimated tax rate.

Income tax provision for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 reflects an effective tax rate of ~~22.3~~22.9 percent compared to ~~19.9~~22.7 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. ~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the income tax provision reflects an effective tax rate~~

Table of ~~23.0 percent compared to 20.1 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to an unfavorable change in permanent differences.~~Contents

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

Trading securities are comprised of SERP assets, as described in Note 10, and are recorded primarily at their net cash surrender values calculated using their net asset values, which approximate fair value, as provided by the issuing insurance company or investment company. Significant observable inputs, in addition to quoted market prices, are used to value the trading securities. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of quarterly reporting periods.

The carrying amount of other financial instruments reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company currently does not use the fair value option to measure any of its existing financial instruments and has not determined whether or not it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the future.

14. NOTES PAYABLE TO BANKS

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with Truist Bank which provides a credit facility of $20.0 million. The facility includes (i) a $5.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, (ii) a $2.5 million aggregate sublimit for all letters of credit, and (iii) a committed accordion which can increase the aggregate commitments by the greater of $35.0 million and consolidated EBITDA over the most recently completed twelve month period at the time of incurrence. The facility is secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all personal property of MPC and the guarantors including, without limitation, certain assets owned by the borrower or any guarantor. The facility will terminate on November 12, 2026.

Revolving borrowings under the facility will accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus the applicable percentage, as defined. The applicable percentage will be between 150 and 250 basis points for all loans based on MPC’s net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company pays facility fees under the agreement ranging from 25 to 45 basis points, based on MPC’s net leverage ratio, on the unused revolving commitment. The Company expects to replace LIBOR with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) based on the occurrence of any of the triggering events in the revolving credit agreement.

The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants including: (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00 and (ii) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 both determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter.

Additionally, the agreement contains customary covenants including affirmative and negative covenants and events of default (each with customary exceptions, thresholds and exclusions). As of ~~September 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

The Company has incurred total loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with this revolving credit facility in the aggregate of $195,000.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Marine Products Corporation, through our wholly owned subsidiaries Chaparral and Robalo, is a leading manufacturer of recreational fiberglass powerboats. Our sales and profits are generated by selling the products that we manufacture to a network of independent dealers who in turn sell the products to retail customers. These dealers are located throughout the continental United States and in several international markets. Many of these dealers finance their inventory through third-party floorplan lenders, who pay Marine Products generally within seven to ten days after delivery of the products to the dealers.

The discussion on business and financial strategies of the Company set forth under the heading “Overview” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2021~~2022 is incorporated herein by reference. There have been no significant changes in the strategies since year-end.

In executing these strategies and attempting to optimize our financial returns, management closely monitors dealer orders and inventories, the production mix of various models, and indications of near term demand such as consumer confidence, inflation concerns, interest rates, dealer orders placed at our annual dealer conferences, and retail attendance and orders at annual winter boat show exhibitions. We also consider trends related to certain key financial and other data, including our historical and forecasted financial results, market share, unit sales of our products, average selling price per boat, and gross profit margins, among others, as indicators of the success of our strategies. Our financial results are affected by consumer confidence — because pleasure boating is a discretionary expenditure, interest rates — because many retail customers finance the purchase of their boats, and other socioeconomic and environmental factors such as availability of leisure time, consumer preferences, demographics and the weather.

Our net sales of ~~$100.1~~$118.9 million were ~~31.9~~55.2 percent higher during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 compared to the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 primarily due to an increase in the average selling price per ~~boat.~~boat and an increase in unit sales volumes, as well as an increase in parts and accessories sales. Unit sales volumes ~~were essentially the same~~ during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 increased 39.5 percent in comparison to the same period of the prior ~~year.~~year as we continued to clear inventory of partially completed units and increased production to satisfy dealer and retail demand. Average selling price per boat during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 increased by ~~32.8~~12.1 percent compared to the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 primarily due to a favorable model mix ~~and price increases to cover~~among most of our models. Unit sales increased ~~costs including materials and components. The full product line of~~overall within both our Chaparral and Robalo ~~models sold well during the quarter.~~models.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales ~~improved to 75.0~~was 75.6 percent of net sales for the three months ended ~~September 30, 2022 from 78.8~~March 31, 2023 compared to 76.0 percent for the comparable period in the prior ~~year, primarily due to price increases and a favorable model mix.~~year.

Operating income increased ~~75.9~~58.3 percent to ~~$14.7~~$14.5 million during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 from ~~$8.3~~$9.2 million during the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses ~~as a percentage of net sales were comparable at 10.3~~increased 57.3 percent to $14.5 million during the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2022 and 10.2 percent in~~2023 from $9.2 million during the same period inof the prior year. In the first quarter of 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses include a non-cash settlement loss of $2.1 million related to the termination of the defined benefit pension plan. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to the pension settlement loss as well as costs that vary with sales and profitability, such as incentive compensation, sales commissions and warranty expense.

OUTLOOK

The discussion of the outlook for ~~2022~~2023 is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

We believe that the strong retail demand for new recreational boats which began ~~during~~with the ~~third quarter~~onset of ~~2020 and continued throughout 2021~~the COVID-19 pandemic will continue ~~for the remainder of 2022 because of the ongoing impact on consumer preferences caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company believes that recreational boating’s appeal~~through 2023 though growth may moderate as retail demand is satisfied and consumers return to ~~U.S. consumers has grown because people perceive it to be a safe outdoor activity which does not involve large groups of people.~~more normal lifestyles coupled with economic concerns and other factors such as rising interest rates. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, many consumers chose recreational boating when they left urban areas to spend time in vacation homes or in smaller groups, often located near recreational bodies of water. Recreational boating is a leisure activity that supports this transition because people perceive it to be a safe outdoor activity which does not involve large groups of people. We believe that retail demand will continue to exceed the recreational boating industry’s production capacity for the foreseeable future, though we note that ~~high~~ fuel prices, higher interest rates, and concerns regarding a possible recession in 2023 may reduce consumer demand during ~~the fourth quarter of 2022. In addition, interest rates for consumer loans have risen during 2022.~~2023. Since many buyers of smaller recreational ~~boat buyers~~boats finance their purchases, higher interest rates may force them to ~~choose smaller, less expensive boats or~~ forgo the purchase of a ~~boat altogether.~~

In spite of strong consumer demand, retail sales in 2021 and the first nine months of 2022 declined compared to comparable prior year periods. The Company believes that these declines have been caused by the industry’s supply chain and labor problems which are preventing recreational boat manufacturers from producing sufficient units to meet retail and consumer demand. The overall cost ofboat.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Despite strong consumer demand, industry retail sales declined in 2021 and 2022 because dealers’ inventories were depleted, and supply chain and labor problems hindered recreational boat manufacturers’ output capacity. The cost of boat ownership has increased over the last several ~~years. In particular, the cost~~years due to ~~purchase a boat has increased because of~~ increased materials and labor ~~costs and~~costs. In addition, higher interest rates ~~which increase~~have increased the financing costs of boat ownership. ~~In addition, the price of fuel increased during 2021 and again more significantly in 2022, which increases the cost of operating a boat.~~ The higher cost of boat ownership may discourage consumers from purchasing recreational boats. For years, Marine Products and other boat manufacturers have been improving their customer service capabilities, marketing strategies and sales promotions to attract more consumers to recreational boating as well as improve consumers’ boating experiences. The Company provides financial incentives to its dealers for receiving favorable customer satisfaction surveys. In addition, the recreational boating industry conducts a promotional program which involves advertising and consumer targeting efforts, as well as other activities designed to increase the potential consumer market for pleasure boats. Many manufacturers, including Marine Products, participate in this program. Management believes that these efforts have incrementally benefited the industry and Marine Products. During the ~~2022~~past three model ~~year~~years, Marine Products has produced a smaller number of models than in previous years ~~in order~~ to increase production efficiency. ~~The Company intends to continue to produce a similarly smaller number of models during the 2023 model year, which began in July.~~ In addition, the average size of the models the Company is producing has increased in response to evolving retail demand, ~~although concern regarding higher fuel prices may encourage consumers to purchase smaller boats,~~ which ~~use less fuel.~~continued into the first quarter of 2023.

In a typical year, Marine Products and its dealers present our new models to retail customers during the winter boat show season, which takes place during the fourth and first calendar quarters. ~~There were a limited number of winter boat shows during the first quarter of 2022 due to ongoing pandemic-related restrictions, although there were~~The industry conducted more boat shows in 2023 than in ~~2021, and we and our dealers attended all~~either of the ~~shows in our market that were conducted. We plan~~previous two years due to ~~continue to attend upcoming boats shows and believe that~~ the ~~number~~easing of ~~boat shows will increase as pandemic-related restrictions continue to ease.~~COVID-19 – related restrictions.

Due to strong demand across the recreational sector, key materials and components ~~are~~have been in tight supply. Supply chain disruptions impacted our production and sales during 2021 and the first nine months of 2022, and we believe that these challenges will continue to impact our production and sales for the remainder of 2022. In addition, supply chain challenges have ~~caused delays in~~delayed the receipt of both raw materials and key components ~~required~~used in our manufacturing process, thus delaying production and deliveries to ~~efficiently complete~~our dealers.

Additional factors that could impact our results include ~~interest rates,~~ the availability and cost of credit to our dealers and consumers, declines in consumer confidence due to fears of a recession, increasing fuel costs, the continued acceptance of our new products in the recreational boating market, the near-term effectiveness of our marketing efforts, the availability and cost of labor and certain of our raw materials and key components used in manufacturing our products and the availability of qualified employee and contract drivers to deliver our finished products to dealers.

~~Net sales~~ for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased $51.0 million or 23.0 percent compared to the same period in 2021. The change in net sales during the current period compared to the prior year was due primarily to an increase in the average gross selling price per boat, partially offset by a 3.2 percent decrease in the number of units sold. Unit sales volumes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were negatively impacted by supply chain challenges during the first nine months of 2022. Average selling price per boat during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 27.4 percent compared to the same period of 2021 due to a favorable model mix and model price increases to cover increased costs including primarily materials and components.

The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to industry conditions and Marine Products’ earnings, financial condition, and other relevant factors.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

To assist dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of its boats for inventory, the Company has entered into agreements with various third-party floor plan lenders whereby the Company guarantees varying amounts of debt for qualifying dealers on boats in inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the dealer and the third-party lender. The agreements provide for the return of all repossessed boats to the Company in a new and unused condition as defined, in exchange for the Company’s assumption of specified percentages of the debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits which vary by lender. The Company had no material repurchases of dealer inventory during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Management continues to monitor the risk of defaults and resulting repurchase obligations based in part on information provided by the third-party floor plan lenders and will adjust the guarantee liability at the end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time.

The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit, subject to minimum of $8.0 million, is based on a specified percentage of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our dealers less repurchases during the prior 12 month period, which was a repurchase limit of ~~$8.0~~$8.3 million as of ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately ~~$2.2~~$6.3 million with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions of approximately ~~$10.2~~$14.6 million as of ~~September 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

CERTAIN RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In conjunction with its spin-off from RPC, Inc. in 2001, the Company and RPC entered into various agreements that define their relationship after the spin-off. RPC charged the Company for its allocable share of administrative costs incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products totaling approximately ~~$682~~$306 thousand for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and approximately ~~$670~~$253 thousand for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

Marine Products and RPC own 50 percent each of a limited liability company called 255 RC, LLC that was created for the joint purchase and ownership of a corporate aircraft. Marine Products recorded certain net operating costs comprised of rent and an allocable share of fixed costs of ~~$120~~$40 thousand for both the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~September 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2023, as part of the termination of the defined benefit pension plan, the Company and RPC completed an annuity purchase to transfer the risk from the Plan to a commercial annuity provider for substantially all of the remaining Plan participants through the liquidation of investments in the Plan. In connection with this, the Company recorded a receivable of approximately $430 thousand from RPC which represents funds paid from the Company’s assets in the Plan to settle a portion of RPC’s participant liabilities as of March 31, 2023. The Company expects this amount will be repaid in the second quarter of 2023.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 2 in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and expected effects on results of operations and financial condition, if known.

SEASONALITY

Marine Products’ quarterly operating results are affected by weather and general economic conditions. Quarterly operating results for the second quarter have historically recorded the highest sales volume for the year because this corresponds with the highest retail sales volume period. The results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period.

INFLATION

During 2021 and ~~the first nine months of~~ 2022, inflation in the general economy ~~has~~had increased to its highest level in more than 40 years due to economic growth following the COVID-19 pandemic, labor shortages and U.S. fiscal policy. As a result, the market prices of the raw materials used by the Company’s manufacturing processes ~~have increased.~~increased during these periods. In addition, the Company purchases components of which there are a limited number of suppliers, most of whom are experiencing significant customer orders impacting their ability to provide needed supply quantities. The costs of most of these components ~~have~~ increased as demand from recreational boat manufacturers has increased and supply chains have remained constrained. These cost increases are exacerbated by higher transportation costs, which are included in the total cost of these components. In response to historically high consumer demand as well as higher raw materials and components costs, the Company ~~has~~ increased the prices for its products periodically beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and continuing through the beginning of the 2023 model year. ~~The~~During the third and fourth quarters of 2022, the prices of many raw materials used in the Company’s manufacturing processes began to decline, and transportation became more available and less expensive, thus easing the Company’s cost pressures. Thus far, price increases ~~during this period~~of raw materials and component costs in recent periods have had no discernible negative impact on the Company’s sales due to high consumer demand and strong order backlogs ~~so they have~~which has allowed Marine Products to maintain its profit margins. However, if in the future the Company is forced to ~~continue raising~~raise the prices of its products due to increased raw materials and component costs, it may not be able to continue to pass these increased costs along to dealers and consumers, which could impact the Company’s profit margins. Furthermore, such higher product prices may compel consumers to choose smaller boats, boats with fewer features or delay the purchase of a boat altogether.

New boat buyers typically finance their purchases. Higher inflation typically results in higher interest rates that could translate into an increased cost of boat ownership. The Company believes that the recent ~~increase~~increases in ~~inflation and the Federal Reserve’s current actions to raise~~ interest rates ~~create~~creates a risk to retail demand for recreational boats. However, we do not believe that this risk will impact production and sales in the near future due to other factors, such as historically low dealer inventories, high dealer order backlog, and indications of consumer demand that extend ~~beyond~~into the ~~2022~~2023 retail selling season.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: our plans to closely monitor dealer orders and inventories, the production mix of various models, and indications of near term demand such as consumer confidence, interest rates, dealer orders placed at our annual dealer conferences, and retail attendance and orders at annual winter boat show exhibitions; our plans to consider trends related to certain key financial and other data, including our historical and forecasted financial results, market share, unit sales of our products, average selling price per boat, and gross profit margins, among others, as indicators of the success of our strategies; our belief that our financial results are affected by consumer confidence; our belief that the strong retail demand for new recreational boats will continue during ~~2022~~2023 because of the ongoing impact on consumer preferences caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and will endure during the foreseeable future; our belief that recreational boating’s appeal to U.S. consumers has grown because people perceive it to be a safe outdoor activity which does not involve large groups of people; our belief that retail demand will continue to exceed the recreational boating industry’s production capacity for the foreseeable future and statements that high fuel prices and concerns regarding a possible recession in 2023 may reduce consumer demand during ~~the fourth quarter 2022;~~2023; statements that since many recreational boat purchasers finance their purchases, higher interest may force them to ~~choose smaller, less expensive boats or~~ forgo the purchase of a ~~boat altogether;~~boat; our belief that in spite of strong consumer demand, retail unit sales in 2021 and 2022 declined ~~slightly~~ compared to ~~retail sales in 2020~~comparable prior year periods because of the industry’s supply chain and labor problems which ~~are preventing~~have prevented recreational boat manufacturers from producing sufficient units to meet retail ~~and dealer~~ demand; our belief that the higher cost of boat ownership may discourage consumers from purchasing recreational boats; our belief that, for years, we have been improving our customer service capabilities, marketing strategies and sales promotions to attract more consumers to recreational boating as well as improve consumers’ boating experiences; our belief that the recreational boating industry’s promotional program has incrementally benefited the industry and Marine Products; our intentions to continue to produce a ~~similarly~~ smaller number of models ~~during~~than in previous years in order to increase production efficiency; statement that the ~~2023 model year, which began~~average size of the models we are producing has increased in ~~July; statements that~~response to evolving retail demand, although concern regarding higher fuel prices may encourage consumers to purchase smaller boats, which use less fuel; our plans to continue to attend upcoming boat shows and our belief that the number of boat shows will increase as pandemic-related restrictions continue to ease; our plans to continue to develop and produce additional new products for subsequent model years; our belief that supply chain disruptions will continue to impact our production and sales throughout ~~2022;~~2023; our plans to concentrate on production and delivery scheduling to decrease our inventory levels to the extent possible; our belief that our financial results during ~~2022~~2023 will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to meet dealer and consumer demand in the face of ongoing supply chain challenges which have impacted our manufacturing operations, the health of American consumers and economic recovery from the pandemic, and potential changes in consumer behavior as society recovers from the pandemic; our belief that additional factors could impact our financial results, including interest rates, the availability of credit to our dealers and consumers,

impacted our manufacturing operations, the availability and cost of credit to our dealers and consumers; increasing fuel costs, the continued acceptance of our new products in the recreational boating market, the near-term effectiveness of our marketing efforts, the availability and cost of labor and certain of our raw materials and key components used in manufacturing our products and the availability of qualified employee and contract drivers to deliver our finished products to dealers; our belief that the liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, our overall strong capitalization and cash expected to be generated from operations and the Company’s revolving credit facility will provide sufficient capital to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months; our expectations that capital expenditures in ~~2022~~2023 will be approximately ~~$2.2~~$5.4 million; ~~our expectations with respect to cash contributions to the multiple employer Retirement Income Plan sponsored by RPC in 2022 and beyond and the expected plan termination in early 2023;~~ our expectation to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders; our plans to continue to monitor the risk of defaults and resulting repurchase obligations based in part on information provided by third-party floor plan lenders and our plans to adjust the guarantee liability at the end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time; our belief that if we are forced to continue raising the prices of our products due to increased raw materials and component costs, we may not be able to continue to pass these increased costs along to the dealers and consumers, which could impact the Company’s profit margins; our belief that higher product prices may compel consumers to choose smaller boats, boats with fewer features or delay the purchase of a boat altogether; statements, generally, regarding the potential fluctuations in costs of raw materials and their effect on the costs of manufacturing our products and profit margins; our belief that our price increase will allow us to maintain or improve our profit margins and have no material impact on consumer demand; our belief about the risks of inflation and increases in interest rates and our belief that these risks will not impact production or sales in the near future due to other factors, such as historically low dealer inventories, higher dealer order backlog, and indications of consumer demand that extends beyond the ~~2022~~2023 retail selling season; statements that we do not expect any material changes in market risk exposure or how those risks are managed; and our belief that the outcome of any litigation, arising from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, will not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Marine Products.

The words “may,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “project,” “estimate,” and similar expressions used in this document that do not relate to historical facts are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. We caution you that such statements are only predictions and not guarantees of future performance and that actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisioned by the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected include the following: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy, our manufacturing operations and our supply chain; economic conditions, unavailability of credit and possible decreases in the level of consumer confidence impacting discretionary spending; business interruptions due to adverse weather conditions, increased interest rates, unanticipated changes in consumer demand and preferences, deterioration in the quality of Marine Products’ network of independent boat dealers or availability of financing of their inventory; our ability to insulate financial results against increasing commodity prices; the impact of rising gasoline prices and a weak housing market on consumer demand for our products; competition from other boat manufacturers and dealers; potential liabilities for personal injury or property damage claims relating to the use of our products; our ability to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates or strategic partners, obtain financing on satisfactory terms, complete acquisitions or strategic alliances, integrate acquired operations into our existing operations, or expand into new markets; changes in various government laws and regulations, including environmental regulations and recent U.S. Government action concerning tariffs on goods; the possibility of retaliatory tariffs imposed on the export of our products to countries on which the U.S. has imposed tariffs; the higher prices of materials, such as hydrocarbon feedstocks, copper, and steel, would increase the costs of manufacturing our products, and could negatively affect our profit margins; higher inflation, which typically results in higher interest rates that could translate into an increased cost of boat ownership and prospective buyers may choose to forego or delay boat purchases; and the existence of certain anti-takeover provisions in our governance documents, which could make a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by Marine Products’ Board of Directors more difficult or expensive. Additional discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in Marine Products Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.
