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 three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2021 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.

A group that includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Gary W. Rollins, and certain companies under his control, controls in excess of 50 percent of the Company’s voting power.

2.    RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

ASU No. 2020-04 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in this ASU, provides 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 LIBOR or other reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and may be applied to contract modifications and hedging relationships from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. The Company plans to adopt these provisions when LIBOR is discontinued and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

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 these provisions prospectively to business combinations occurring after January 1, 2023 and does 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.

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:

	Three months ended

Adjustment for participating securities		(693)		(671)
Shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share		33,407		33,287

5.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan with a term of ten years expiring in April 2024. This plan provides for the issuance of various forms of stock incentives, including among others, incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted shares. As of March 31, 2022, there were approximately 1,170,650 shares available for grant.

Stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Other Information

As of March 31, 2022, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted shares was approximately $9,732,000. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.0 years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, approximately $3,000 of excess tax benefit for stock-based compensation awards was recorded as a discrete tax adjustment and classified within operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows compared to approximately $285,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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.

An analysis of the warranty accruals for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

(in thousands)	2022		2021
Balance at beginning of period	$	4,641	$	5,030
Less: Payments made during the period		(1,119)		(923)
Add: Warranty provision for the period		1,016		922
Changes to warranty provision for prior periods		81		124
Balance at March 31	$	4,619	$	5,153

The warranty accruals are reflected in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

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.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit, subject to a minimum of $8 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 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $2.4 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 $10.4 million as of March 31, 2022.

7.    BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has 1 reportable segment, its powerboat manufacturing business; therefore, the majority of segment-related disclosures are not relevant to the Company. In addition, the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition are not significantly reliant upon any single customer or product model.

8.    INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of the following:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2022		2021
(in thousands)
Raw materials and supplies	$	33,255	$	42,231
Work in process		18,621		14,390
Finished goods		26,303		16,640
Total inventories	$	78,179	$	73,261

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 first quarter of 2022 reflects an effective tax rate of 22.7 percent, compared to an effective rate of 19.3 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in the effective rate during the first quarter of 2022 is primarily due to unfavorable permanent adjustments together with detrimental discrete adjustments compared to the same period of 2021.

10.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan, a trusteed defined benefit pension plan, sponsored by RPC, Inc. (“RPC”). The following represents the net periodic cost (benefit) and related components for the plan for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company initiated actions to terminate the defined benefit pension plan, which are expected to be completed in early 2023. The Company currently expects that no additional cash contributions to the plan will be required. As of the plan termination completion date, the Company will recognize a pre-tax, non-cash settlement charge representing the unamortized net loss in the plan which was approximately $3.3 million as of March 31, 2022. The final amount is subject to change based on the actual return on plan assets and the periodic actuarial updates of the plan net losses. For the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company is utilizing an expected return on plan assets of 0 percent based on the current short-term rates and investment horizon as a result of the expected plan termination.

The Company did not contribute to this plan during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Company permits selected highly compensated employees to defer a portion of their compensation into a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”). The Company maintains certain securities primarily in mutual funds and company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies as a funding source to satisfy the obligation of the SERP that have been classified as trading and are stated at fair value totaling approximately $11,037,000 as of March 31, 2022 and $12,264,000 as of December 31, 2021. Trading losses related to the SERP assets totaled approximately $1,227,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to trading gains of approximately $63,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The SERP assets are reported in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and changes to the fair value of the assets are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

The SERP liabilities include participant deferrals net of distributions and are stated at fair value of approximately $14,742,000 as of March 31, 2022 and $15,564,000 as of December 31, 2021. The SERP liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets in long-term pension liabilities and any change in the fair value is recorded as compensation cost within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities represented unrealized losses of approximately $1,265,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to unrealized gains of approximately $163,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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:

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

14

(Unaudited)

2. 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.

3. 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. The trading securities were $11,037,000 as of March 31, 2022 and $12,264,000 as of December 31, 2021. 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 balance sheet 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.

12.  ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of pension adjustments as follows:

13.  LONG-TERM DEBT

On November 12, 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with Truist Bank which provides for a commitment of up to $20 million. The agreement includes (i) a $5 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 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, all accounts, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, goods, documents, contracts, trademarks, patents, copyrights, intercompany obligations, stock, securities and notes owned by borrower or any guarantor. The agreement will terminate on November 12, 2026.

Revolving borrowings under the agreement 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 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 March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these 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. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan, and the remaining net balance is classified as part of non-current other assets. MPC had 0 outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Interest expense incurred, which includes facility fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and the amortization of loan costs, on the credit facility were $22,000, of which $7,000 was paid, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 26, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share payable June 10, 2022 to common stockholders of record at the close of business May 10, 2022.

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 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, 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 $76.6 million were 2.2 percent lower during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to a 20.9 percent decrease in number of units sold and a decrease in parts and accessories sales, substantially offset by an increase in the average selling price per boat. In spite of strong dealer and consumer demand, unit sales volumes in most of our product categories were negatively impacted during the first quarter of 2022 as we worked diligently to overcome significant supply chain challenges to receive key components required to complete final assembly and deliver boats on a timely basis. These challenges, coupled with driver shortages have impacted our ability to deliver boats on a normal schedule. Average selling price per boat during the first quarter of 2022 increased by 23.3 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to price increases during the 2022 model year necessitated by raw materials and labor cost increases, as well as a favorable model mix of larger boats which are in high demand.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales improved slightly to 76.0 percent of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 76.4 percent for the comparable period in 2021, primarily due to a favorable model mix and price increases.

Operating income decreased 8.7 percent to $9.2 million during the first quarter of 2022 from $10.0 million during the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 9.5 percent during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher boat show expenses as well as increased employment costs.

OUTLOOK

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

We believe that the strong retail demand for new recreational boats which began during the second quarter of 2020 and throughout 2021 will continue during 2022 because of the ongoing impact on consumer preferences caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company believes 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. 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. We believe that continued retail demand resulting from this change in consumer preferences will endure during the foreseeable future.

17

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

In spite of strong consumer demand, retail sales in 2021 declined slightly compared to retail sales in 2020. The Company believes that this decline was caused by the industry’s supply chain and labor problems which prevented recreational boat manufacturers from producing sufficient units in 2021 to meet retail and consumer demand. These problems have continued during the first quarter of 2022 and may continue to negatively impact the industry’s ability to manufacture boats during the remainder of 2022. The overall cost of boat ownership has increased over the last several years. In particular, the cost to purchase a boat has increased because of increased materials and labor costs and higher interest rates, which increase the financing costs of boat ownership. In addition, the price of fuel increased during 2021 and again more significantly early 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. Marine Products reduced the number of models in its portfolio for the 2022 model year, which began in the third quarter of 2021, in order to increase production efficiency. In addition, the average size of the models the Company is producing has increased in the 2022 model year in response to evolving retail demand and the changes to the model portfolio.

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 more boat shows than in 2021, and we and our dealers attended all of the shows that were conducted. We plan to continue to develop and produce additional new products for subsequent model years.

Due to strong demand across the recreational sector, key materials and components are in tight supply. Supply chain disruptions impacted our production and sales during 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, and we believe that these challenges will continue to impact our production and sales throughout 2022. In addition, supply chain challenges have caused delays in the receipt of key components required to efficiently complete the final assembly of a significant percentage of our boats. Also, our delivery of completed boats has been negatively impacted by driver shortages. These issues have caused our working capital requirements to increase significantly. At the present time, we do not know when these problems will be resolved, so we are concentrating on production and delivery scheduling that will decrease our inventory levels to the extent possible.

Our financial results during 2022 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. Additional factors that could impact our results include interest rates, the availability of credit to our dealers and consumers, 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.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased $1.8 million or 2.2 percent compared to the same period in 2021. The change in net sales during the quarter compared to the prior year was due primarily to a 20.9 percent decrease in the number of units sold substantially offset by an increase in the average gross selling price per boat. In spite of strong dealer and consumer demand, unit sales volumes in most of our product categories were negatively impacted during the first quarter of 2022 as we worked diligently to overcome significant supply chain challenges to receive key components required to complete final assembly and deliver boats on a timely basis. These challenges coupled with driver shortages have impacted our ability to deliver boats on a normal schedule. Average selling price per boat during the first quarter of 2022 increased by 23.3 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021 due to price increases during the 2022 model year necessitated by raw materials and labor cost increases, as well as a favorable model mix of larger boats which are in high demand. Domestic net sales decreased 2.5 percent to $72.5 million and international sales increased 2.5 percent to $4.1 million compared to the first quarter of the prior year. In the first quarter of 2022, net sales outside of the United States accounted for 5.4 percent of net sales compared to 5.1 percent of net sales in the first quarter of 2021. International sales remain low due in part to continued tariffs imposed on boat imports into Mexico and the European Union.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $58.2 million compared to $59.9 million for the comparable period in 2021, a decrease of $1.7 million or 2.8 percent. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales improved slightly to 76.0 percent of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from 76.4 percent for the comparable period in 2021, due to a favorable model mix and price increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $9.2 million compared to $8.4 million for the comparable period in 2021, an increase of $0.8 million or 9.5 percent. This increase was primarily due to higher boat show expenses as well as increased employment costs in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 12.1 percent in the first quarter of 2022 from 10.8 percent in the first quarter of 2021.

Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $9.2 million compared to $10.0 million in the same period in 2021.

Interest (expense) income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased to interest expense of $17 thousand from interest income of $8 thousand the prior year. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is recorded for the revolving credit facility, including fees on the unused portion of the facility. Additionally, Marine Products generates interest income primarily from investments of excess cash in money market funds.

Income tax provision for the first quarter of 2022 reflects an effective tax rate of 22.7 percent compared to 19.3 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is primarily due to unfavorable permanent adjustments and detrimental discrete adjustments in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 were $13.6 million compared to $14.1 million at December 31, 2021. The following table sets forth the cash flows for the applicable periods:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	4,519	$	8,127
Net cash used for investing activities		(202)		(236)
Net cash used for financing activities	$	(4,797)	$	(4,448)

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $4.5 million includes net income of $7.1 million partially offset by a net unfavorable change in the primary components of our working capital (including accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable) of $4.6 million. This net unfavorable change is due primarily to increases in accounts receivable due to the timing of receipts and inventories due to increased production levels and supply chain challenges of critical components needed to complete boats on a timely basis, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable consistent with higher production levels and the timing of payments.

Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $0.2 million representing capital expenditures was similar to the same period in 2021.

Cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $0.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to increased dividends per share paid to common shareholders partially offset by a reduction in stock repurchased related to the vesting of restricted shares.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, its overall strong capitalization, cash generated by operations and the Company’s revolving credit facility will provide sufficient capital to meet the Company’s requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing purposes are influenced by its capital position and the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations.

Cash Requirements

The Company currently expects that capital expenditures in 2022 will be approximately $3.0 million, of which $0.2 million has been spent through March 31, 2022.

The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan, sponsored by RPC, Inc. (“RPC”). The Company did not contribute to this plan during the first three months of 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company initiated actions to terminate the defined benefit pension plan, which are expected to be completed in early 2023.��The Company currently expects that no additional cash contributions to the plan will be required. As of the plan termination completion date, the Company will recognize a pre-tax, non-cash settlement charge representing the unamortized net loss in the plan which was approximately $3.3 million as of March 31, 2022. The final amount is subject to change based on the actual return on plan assets and the periodic actuarial updates of the plan net losses. For the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company is utilizing an expected return on plan assets of zero percent based on the current short-term rates and investment horizon as a result of the expected plan termination.

The Company has repurchased an aggregate total of 6,679,572 shares in the open market under the Company stock repurchase program, which began in 2002. As of March 31, 2022, there are 1,570,428 shares that remain available for repurchase under the current authorization. There were no shares repurchased under this program during the first three months of 2022.

20

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

On April 26, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share payable June 10, 2022 to common stockholders of record at the close of business May 10, 2022. 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 three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

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 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 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $2.4 million with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions of approximately $10.4 million as of March 31, 2022.

CERTAIN RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In conjunction with its spin-off from RPC 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 $253 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and approximately $219 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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 $40 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021.

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. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 2 of the 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.

21

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

INFLATION

During 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, inflation in the general economy has 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. 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. The Company’s price increases during this period have had no discernible impact on the Company’s sales due to high consumer demand and strong order backlogs, so they have allowed Marine Products to maintain its profit margins. However, if the Company is forced to continue raising 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 in inflation and the Federal Reserve’s current actions to raise interest rates create 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 the 2022 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 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 in spite of strong consumer demand, retail sales in 2021 declined slightly compared to retail sales in 2020 because of the industry’s supply chain and labor problems which prevented recreational boat manufacturers from producing sufficient units in 2021 to meet retail and dealer demand; our belief that the recreational boating industry’s promotional program has incrementally benefited the industry and Marine Products; 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; our belief that our financial results during 2022 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, 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 will be approximately $3.0 million; our expectation about contributions to the multiple employer Retirement Income Plan sponsored by RPC in 2022 and beyond; our expectation to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders; statements 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 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Marine Products holds no derivative financial instruments which could expose the Company to significant market risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures – The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, March 31, 2022 (the “Evaluation Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting – Management’s evaluation of changes in internal control did not identify any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
