MONTREAL, Jan. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) ("Vision Marine" or the "Company"), an electric marine propulsion company designing and manufacturing high-voltage powertrain systems, and operating a premium recreational boat retail network, today reported financial results for the three-month period ended November 30, 2025. The first quarter of fiscal 2026 represents a meaningful operational inflection point for Vision Marine, as the Company generated $1.9 million of cash provided by operating activities, marking its first positive operating cash flow quarter following a period in which operations had historically consumed cash. This quarter reflects the early stages of integrating Nautical Ventures Group Inc. ("NVG" or "Nautical Ventures") and the initial implementation of operating efficiencies and organizational alignment, which are only beginning. We are striving to continue optimization of operations throughout fiscal 2026, as management remains focused on achieving EBITDA-positive and cash-flow-positive operations as swiftly as practicable to create long-term shareholder value. As at November 30, 2025, Vision Marine reported cash of $2.3 million and a working capital surplus of approximately $4.7 million. These figures do not include the Company's $9.6 million of gross proceeds of equity financing completed on December 19, 2025. Combined with $1.9 million of cash provided by operating activities during the quarter, driven primarily by the early execution of operating efficiencies, these items reflect a strengthening liquidity profile as the Company executes its 2026 operational optimization initiatives. Total revenues for the quarter were $15.7 million, compared to $0.1 million in the prior-year period, driven primarily by the scale of the Company's expanded U.S. retail platform following the inclusion of NVG's dealership operations. Gross profit for the quarter totalled $4.2 million or 27%, reflecting the operating leverage of the expanded retail network. The Company reported a net loss before taxes of $4.3 million for the quarter, compared to $1.1 million in the prior-year period. The increase reflects the strategic acquisition of NVG, which significantly expanded the Company's operating footprint, as well as a $1.1 million reduction in non-cash gains related to mark-to-market movements on derivative liabilities. For the three-month period ended November 30, 2025, the Company recorded an EBITDA loss of $2.3 million compared to $2.0 million in the prior-year period. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is reconciled to net loss in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the period. Management believes EBITDA provides a useful supplemental measure for evaluating operating performance, particularly during transitional acquisition integration phases, as the Company prioritizes cash-flow generation and operational optimization during fiscal 2026. The increase in EBITDA loss was driven primarily by the inclusion of NVG's results. "Generating positive operating cash flow in the first quarter following the Nautical Ventures acquisition represents an important step in stabilizing our financial foundation," said Alexandre Mongeon, Chief Executive Officer of Vision Marine. "Our focus remains on disciplined inventory management, integration execution, and strengthening liquidity as we execute on planned divestitures of non-core real-estate assets in the coming quarters, further strengthening the balance sheet without dilution. The Company's focus is on fundamentals, including cash flow generation, margin expansion, strengthening the balance sheet, and generate new revenue growth opportunities from our marina and with our E-Motion™ 180E electric propulsion system." Raffi Sossoyan, Chief Financial Officer of Vision Marine, added, "this quarter represents a clear inflection point for the business. Following a period where operations historically consumed cash, we have now generated positive operating cash flow. Combined with the $9.6 million in gross proceeds of equity financing completed subsequent to quarter-end, we believe the Company has the liquidity required to continue executing its near-term operational plans. These include cost-reduction initiatives, further right-sizing of Nautical Ventures operations, disciplined inventory management, and balance-sheet strengthening, all undertaken in a challenging macroeconomic and recreational boating environment." Outlook Management's outlook for fiscal 2026 is centered on strengthening the core operating fundamentals of the combined platform as integration progresses, with particular emphasis on cash-flow generation, margin improvement, and balance-sheet resilience. Key priorities include: Completing the integration of Nautical Ventures over the next year, during which further operational alignment and optimization initiatives are anticipated; Monetizing select non-core real-estate assets, with the objective of completing such initiatives within approximately two to three quarters, to generate additional non-dilutive liquidity in support of operations and balance-sheet strengthening; Further optimizing inventory levels and working-capital efficiency; Strengthening lender and financing relationships; Advancing initiatives to support long-term liquidity and operational performance; and Expanding aftersales and maintenance programs across its boat portfolio, including E-Motion™ 180E installation and servicing, and offering financing and insurance at the point of sale to enhance the customer purchase experience and support the development of recurring revenue streams Non-GAAP Financial Measure EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not have a standardized meaning under IFRS. As a result, EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Management uses EBITDA as a supplemental measure to assess operating performance by excluding non-cash and financing-related items. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable IFRS measure, is included in the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three-month period ended November 30, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on a report on Form 6-K on the date hereof.

MONTREAL, Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) ("Vision Marine" or the "Company") today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, underscoring a year of significant commercial expansion driven by the acquisition of Nautical Ventures Group Inc. ("Nautical Ventures"), recognized by Boating Industry magazine as the 2024 Boating Industry Top 100 Dealer of the Year and a leading dealership network in Florida, the capital of U.S. recreational boating. The acquisition marked a turning point in Vision Marine's market presence, providing direct access to one of the most active marine regions in North America and opening new avenues for growth across retail, services, and electric product integration. Between the date of acquisition on June 20, 2025, and the end of Vision Marine's fiscal year on August 31, 2025, Nautical Ventures generated US$12.8 million in revenue and US$4.7 million of gross profit, representing a gross profit percentage of 36.8%. Full audited financial statements and MD&A, including net loss for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, are available in the Company's filings made today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 20-F) and the Canadian securities regulators. Since the beginning of fiscal 2026, Nautical Ventures has continued to experience strong customer engagement and robust sales activity across its key brands, such as Beneteau, Axopar, Highfield, Northstar, Wellcraft, Starcraft, EdgeWater, Nimbus and more. The Company intends to report full first-quarter results for the three-month period ending November 30, 2025, in January 2026. Operational progress further strengthened the Company's foundation. Since June 20, 2025, Nautical Ventures' outstanding floor-plan financing balance was reduced from US$42 million on June 20, 2025, to US$32.5 million at fiscal year end August 31, 2025, and further reduced to approximately US$22.1 million as of November 28, 2025. In addition, the consolidation of operations of two North Palm Beach locations is expected to generate approximately US$1.6 million in annual operational savings. As part of the Nautical Ventures acquisition structure, Vision Marine holds a real estate receivable entitling the Company to receive the net proceeds generated from the future sale of four Florida real estate properties. This receivable balance is currently US$6.6 million following the sale of the two North Palm Beach properties subsequent to year-end.

"Its strong retail performance and strategic positioning in Florida allow us to expand product offerings, strengthen consumer reach, and accelerate electric adoption across key market segments.
