Marine Products Corporation reported a consolidated net sales increase of 3% to $244.4 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, compared to $236.6 million in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by a 9% increase in price/mix, although it was partially offset by a 6% decrease in unit sales to dealers. Gross profit rose to $46.8 million from $45.5 million in the previous year, while operating income decreased to $14.0 million from $18.3 million. Net income also saw a decline, falling to $11.4 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, down from $17.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in 2024.
The company experienced significant changes in its financial performance compared to the previous fiscal period, with net income margin decreasing to 4.7% from 7.5% in 2024. The decline in profitability was attributed to lower revenues, increased selling, general, and administrative expenses, and higher research and development investments. Additionally, the effective tax rate rose to 27.8% in 2025, influenced by unfavorable permanent adjustments related to the liquidation of company-owned life insurance policies.
Strategically, Marine Products announced a merger agreement with MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. on February 5, 2026. The merger will involve a stock-and-cash transaction where each share of Marine Products common stock will convert into 0.232 shares of MasterCraft common stock and $2.43 in cash. The completion of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder approvals and regulatory clearances. The company anticipates incurring substantial costs related to the merger, which may impact its financial results in the near term.
Operationally, Marine Products reported a total of 2,354 boats sold in 2025, a decrease from 2,492 in 2024. The average gross selling price per boat increased to $93,600 from $85,700 in the previous year. The company’s dealer network consists of 192 domestic and 84 international dealers, with international sales accounting for 4.5% of total net sales in 2025. The sales order backlog as of December 31, 2025, was 766 boats, representing an estimated net sales value of approximately $68.9 million.
Looking ahead, Marine Products expects to continue paying regular quarterly cash dividends to common stockholders until the merger closes, although the Merger Agreement limits the amount of dividends to $0.14 per share. The company believes that existing cash balances, along with cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to fund the costs associated with the merger. However, it also acknowledges that further interest rate relief may be necessary to stimulate consumer demand for new boat purchases, as elevated interest rates have contributed to a decrease in retail demand.
