Reworded paragraphs (38)
Previous wording
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were not authorized by the statute. The Company was previously subject to such tariffs under IEEPA. Because the process, timing, and amount of any IEEPA tariff recovery are uncertain, we have not recorded any benefit from a potential refund at this time.
Current wording
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were not authorized by the statute. The Company was previously subject to such tariffs under IEEPA. During the three months ended July 4, 2026, the Company submitted claims within the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries ("CAPE") system for processing tariff refunds and were subsequently accepted during the quarter totaling $34.3 million. These accepted claims for the recovery of IEEPA tariffs were deemed probable under the loss recovery model as of July 4, 2026. The Company recognized a reduction in Cost of sales of $30.4 million within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Additionally, $3.9 million of that tariff receivable is a reduction to inventory for certain tariff costs that were still capitalized within inventory. As of July 4, 2026, the total $30.9 million outstanding IEEPA tariff receivables are reflected within Prepaid expenses and other on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although the Company has assessed the recovery of these previously paid IEEPA tariffs is probable based on currently available information, the timing of cash receipts remains dependent upon the processing of refund claims by the CBP and U.S. Department of Treasury.
Previous wording
Net sales increased 12.8% during the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025. This increase reflected improved wholesale and retail trends, continued market share gains in propulsion and several boat categories, strong OEM demand for propulsion, components and electronics, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, pricing actions commencing in the second half of 2025, and solid boating participation driving aftermarket performance. For the third consecutive quarter, year-over-year net sales increased across all segments. The Propulsion segment delivered significant sales growth resulting primarily from an improved market, strong OEM orders, wholesale acceleration, and continued global share gains. The Engine P&A segment benefited from healthy boater participation and continued distribution share gains, which led to sales improvement compared to the prior year. Navico Group reported sales growth over the prior year quarter as growth across all business lines was supported by improving OEM demand, steady aftermarket performance, and operational efficiency. Finally, the Boat segment sales grew over prior year driven by higher wholesale shipments and stabilized retail conditions, favorable mix, and continued momentum in the Business Acceleration portfolio. Freedom Boat Club added four new locations, increased trips and improved same store sales. Our international net sales increased 20 percent on a GAAP basis and increased 11 percent on a constant currency basis in the first quarter compared with the prior year.
Current wording
Net sales increased 7.7% during the second quarter of 2026 compared with the second quarter of 2025. Sales growth reflected steady OEM orders, continued strong P&A and aftermarket performance driven by healthy boating participation, pricing taken in previous periods, and improved mix. Adjusted operating earnings and margins increased as the benefits of the higher sales, favorable mix, and strong operating execution, in addition to IEEPA refunds, more than offset inflationary pressures, increased variable compensation, incremental tariffs, and accelerated product development investment. The Propulsion segment delivered sales growth resulting primarily from healthy OEM orders, steady market share, and pricing actions taken in recent quarters. Strong boater participation and continued distribution gains drove higher sales and margin for Engine P&A segment. Navico Group segment reported sales growth over the prior year quarter as growth across all business lines was supported by improving OEM demand, steady aftermarket performance, and improved operational efficiency. Finally, Boat segment grew both sales and margin, benefiting from increased focus on premium and core brands, pricing actions, operational efficiencies, and continued growth in Freedom Boat Club. Freedom Boat Club increased trips and improved same store sales. Our international net sales increased 11 percent on a GAAP basis and increased 7 percent on a constant currency basis in the second quarter.
Previous wording
Operating earnings in the first quarter of 2026 were $50.3 million and $82.6 million on a GAAP and as adjusted basis, respectively. This compares to operating earnings during the first quarter of 2025 of $56.3 million and $72.1 million on a GAAP and As Adjusted basis, respectively. Adjusted operating earnings increased due to increased sales, favorable mix, pricing, improved absorption and disciplined cost management more than offsetting the impact of incremental tariffs implemented after the first quarter of 2025.

Previous wording
Changes in Foreign Currency Rates. Percentage changes in net sales expressed in constant currency reflect the impact that changes in currency exchange rates had on comparisons of net sales. To determine this information, net sales transacted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparative period. The percentage change in net sales expressed on a constant currency basis better reflects the changes in the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Approximately 24 percent of our annual net sales are transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Our most material exposures include sales in Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, and Brazilian real.
