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 six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 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, 2022.

A group that includes Gary W. Rollins, Pamela R. Rollins, Amy Rollins Kreisler and 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. 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 adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2023 prospectively to future business combinations and the adoption did not 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.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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:

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 June 30, 2023, there were approximately 777,199 shares available for grant.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Company issued time-lapse restricted shares to certain employees that will vest ratably over a period of four years. In addition, the Company granted performance share unit awards to its executive officers that vest based on the achievement of pre-established performance targets. The awards will be issued at different levels based on the performance achieved with a cliff vesting at the end of fiscal year ending 2025. The Company evaluated the portions of the award that are probable to vest and accordingly has accrued estimated compensation expense equal to 100 percent of the target award.

Stock-based compensation was as follows:

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Pre – tax cost	$	1,233	$	820	$	2,010	$	1,430
After tax cost		962		639		1,568		1,115

The following is a summary of the changes in non-vested restricted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2023:

		Weighted
		Average
		Grant-Date
	Shares	Fair Value
Non-vested shares at December 31, 2022	764,170	$	14.15
Granted	318,348		13.25
Vested	(243,468)		14.16
Non-vested shares at June 30, 2023	839,050	$	13.81

The total fair value of shares vested was approximately $3,220,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and approximately $2,241,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The above table does not include any of the activity related to performance share unit awards since they are not currently issued or vested.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, approximately $3,000 of excess tax benefit for stock-based compensation awards was recorded as a discrete tax adjustment and classified within Net cash provided by operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows compared to approximately $22,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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

11

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

(in thousands)	2023		2022
Balance at January 1	$	5,699	$	4,641
Less: Payments made during the period		(2,091)		(2,286)
Add: Warranty provision for the period		3,495		2,328
Changes to warranty provision for prior periods		156		104
Balance at June 30	$	7,259	$	4,787

The warranty accruals are reflected in Accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 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 $11.2 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $7.1 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 $18.3 million as of June 30, 2023.

7.    BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has one 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.

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 second quarter of 2023 reflects an effective tax rate of 16.8 percent compared to 24.0 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 the income tax provision reflects an effective tax rate of 19.6 percent compared to 23.5 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to favorable permanent adjustments coupled with beneficial discrete tax items.

10.  PENSION AND RETIREMENT 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 and related components for the plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

During the second quarter of 2023, as part of the termination of the Plan, the Company completed a transfer of participant liabilities to a government agency for participants that were not included in the first quarter transfer of liabilities to a commercial annuity provider. As part of this transfer, the Company recognized a pre-tax, non-cash settlement charge of $188 thousand in the second quarter of 2023, which represents the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company received approximately $482 thousand from RPC as reimbursement for funds paid from the Company’s assets in the Plan to settle RPC’s participant liabilities. The Company did not contribute to this Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not expect to make any additional cash contributions.

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 $10,643,000 as of June 30, 2023 and $9,881,000 as of

(Unaudited)

December 31, 2022. Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled approximately $425,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to trading losses of approximately $1,076,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled approximately $762,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to trading losses of approximately $2,303,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The SERP assets are reported in Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes to the fair value of the assets are reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The SERP liabilities include participant deferrals net of distributions and are stated at fair value of approximately $16,514,000 as of June 30, 2023 and $14,440,000 as of December 31, 2022. The SERP liabilities are reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in Retirement plan liabilities and any change in the fair value is recorded as compensation cost within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities represented unrealized gains of approximately $519,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to unrealized losses of approximately $1,060,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities represented unrealized gains of approximately $817,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to unrealized losses of approximately $2,325,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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.

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. 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.

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, 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 $116.2 million were 21.2 percent higher during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to an increase in the average selling price per boat and an increase in unit sales volumes, as well as an increase in parts and accessories sales. Unit sales volumes during the second quarter of 2023 increased 10.9 percent in comparison to the same period of the prior year as we continued to clear inventory of partially completed units caused by supply chain disruptions. These deliveries also helped to satisfy our dealers’ inventory needs during the retail selling season. Average selling price per boat during the second quarter of 2023 increased by 9.7 percent compared to the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to a favorable model mix and price increases to cover increased costs including primarily materials and components. Unit sales increased within both our Chaparral and Robalo models.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 75.3 percent of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from 76.0 percent for the comparable period in the prior year due to improved operating efficiencies and a favorable model mix.

Operating income increased 25.7 percent to $16.5 million during the second quarter of 2023 from $13.1 million during the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher net sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 23.2 percent to $12.2 million during the second quarter of 2023 from $9.9 million during the same period of the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to costs that vary with sales and profitability, such as incentive compensation, sales commissions and warranty expense.

OUTLOOK

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

We believe that the strong retail demand for new recreational boats which began with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has declined and will continue to moderate throughout 2023 as retail demand normalizes and consumers return to pre-pandemic routine lifestyles coupled with factors such as rising interest rates and higher cost of boat ownership. 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 production will satisfy current retail demand. Since many buyers of smaller recreational boats finance their purchases, higher interest rates may discourage them from the purchase of a boat.

17

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 due to increased cost of materials, key components and labor. In addition, higher interest rates have increased the financing costs of boat ownership. 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 past three model years, Marine Products has produced a smaller number of boat designs than in previous years to increase production efficiency. In addition, the average size of the models the Company is producing has increased in response to evolving retail demand, which continued into the first and second quarters 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. The industry conducted more boat shows in 2023 than in either of the previous two years due to the easing of COVID-19 – related restrictions.

Due to strong demand across the recreational sector, key materials and components have been in tight supply. Supply chain disruptions have delayed the receipt of both raw materials and key components used in our manufacturing process, thus delaying production and deliveries to our dealers. Although these disruptions began to moderate during the fourth quarter of 2022, they still impact our ability to some extent to meet dealer and retail demand. Transportation shortages impacted our ability to deliver finished products to our dealers, though these issues began to moderate during the third and fourth quarters of 2022. These production and shipment delays caused our working capital requirements to increase significantly starting in the third quarter of 2021, although our inventory levels began to decline during the fourth quarter of 2022 and further into the first and second quarter of 2023 as these issues began to improve.

Our financial results during the remainder of 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. Additional factors that could impact our results include 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.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THREE ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $20.3 million or 21.2 percent compared to the same period in 2022. The change in net sales during the quarter compared to the prior year was due primarily to increases in the average gross selling price per boat and unit sales volumes, as well as an increase in parts and accessories sales. Unit sales volumes during the second quarter of 2023 increased 10.9 percent in comparison to the same period of the prior year as we continued to clear inventory of partially completed units caused by supply chain disruptions. These deliveries also helped to satisfy our dealers’ inventory needs during the retail selling season. Unit sales increased within both our Chaparral and Robalo models during the second quarter of 2023.

Average selling price per boat during the second quarter of 2023 increased by 9.7 percent compared to the second quarter of 2022 due to a favorable model mix and price increases to cover increased costs including primarily materials and components. Domestic net sales increased 22.8 percent to $108.1 million and international net sales increased 4.0 percent to $8.1 million compared to the second quarter of the prior year.

Interest income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased to interest income, net of $723 thousand from interest expense, net of $7 thousand in the same period of the prior year due to a higher average cash balance and higher interest yields. Marine Products generates interest income primarily from investments of excess cash in money market funds. Additionally, interest expense is recorded for the revolving credit facility, including fees on the unused portion of the facility and the amortization of loan costs.

Income tax provision for the second quarter of 2023 reflects an effective tax rate of 16.8 percent compared to 24.0 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in the 2023 effective tax rate is primarily due to favorable permanent adjustments coupled with beneficial discrete tax items.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2023 were $66.2 million compared to $43.2 million at December 31, 2022. The following table sets forth the cash flows for the applicable periods:

	Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	40,785	$	17,157
Net cash used for investing activities		(7,194)		(798)
Net cash used for financing activities		(10,547)		(8,893)

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $23.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes net income of $25.9 million, a non-cash pension settlement loss of $2.3 million, coupled with a net favorable change in inventory of $11.5 million. These favorable changes are partially offset by a net unfavorable change in other components of our working capital (including accounts receivable less accounts payable and accrued expenses) totaling $2.2 million. The net favorable change in inventory is primarily due to clearing inventory of partially completed units caused by supply chain disruptions during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The net unfavorable change in other components of our working capital are primarily a result of an increase in accounts receivable of $7.0 million consistent with an increase in shipments during the current period, partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing of payments.

Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $6.4 million in comparison to the same period in 2022 due to an increase in capital expenditures for transportation equipment and warehouse space.

Cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $1.7 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to increased dividends paid to common shareholders, coupled with an increase in stock repurchases related to the vesting of restricted shares.

The Company currently expects that capital expenditures in 2023 will be approximately $8.4 million, of which $7.2 million has been spent through June 30, 2023.

The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan (Plan), sponsored by RPC, Inc. (“RPC”). The Company did not contribute to this Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and currently does not expect to make any additional contributions.

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 June 30, 2023, there were 1,570,428 shares that remained available for repurchase under the current authorization. There were no shares repurchased under this program during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

On July 25, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share payable September 11, 2023 to common stockholders of record at the close of business August 10, 2023. 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 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 $11.2 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $7.1 million with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions of approximately $18.3 million as of June 30, 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 $526 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and approximately $473 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

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 both the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022.

As part of the termination of the Retirement Income Plan, the Company received approximately $482 thousand during the second quarter of 2023 from RPC, which represents funds paid from the Company’s assets in the Plan to settle a portion of RPC’s participant liabilities.

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, 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 2022, inflation in the general economy 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 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 increased as demand from recreational boat manufacturers has increased and supply chains have remained constrained. These cost increases were 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 increased the prices for its products periodically beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and continuing through the 2023 model year. During the third and fourth quarters of 2022 and the first two quarters of 2023, 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. Price increases 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 which have allowed Marine Products to maintain its profit margins. However, the Company believes the cost of boat ownership has risen enough to impact retail demand. Therefore, it will be more difficult to raise prices in the future to compensate for increased costs of raw materials and components, which could impact the Company’s sales and profit margins.

New boat buyers typically finance their purchases. The Company believes that the recent increase in interest rates has reduced retail demand for smaller boats, since purchasers of smaller boats are typically more sensitive to increases in the cost of boat ownership.

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, inflation concerns, 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 to moderate throughout 2023 as retail demand normalizes

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

and consumers return to more pre-pandemic routine lifestyles coupled with factors such as rising interest rates and higher cost of boat ownership; our belief that recreational boating’s appeal to U.S. consumers has grown since the second quarter of 2020 because people perceive it to be a safe outdoor activity which does not involve large groups of people; our belief that production will satisfy current retail demand; statements that since many recreational boat purchasers finance their purchases, higher interest may force them to forgo the purchase of a boat; our belief that in spite of strong consumer demand, retail unit sales in 2021 and 2022 declined compared to comparable prior year periods because dealers’ inventories were depleted and supply chain and labor problems hindered recreational boat manufacturers’ output capacity; 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 belief that our financial results during 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 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; 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 2023 will be approximately $8.4 million; 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 sales and profit margins; our belief that the recent increase in interest rates has reduced retail demand for smaller boats, since purchasers of smaller boats are typically more sensitive to increases in the cost of boat ownership; statements that we do not expect any material changes in market risk exposures 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: 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; 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; 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, 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; 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; and our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily at a single financial institution. 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, 2022 and Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
