“We posted another record quarter with sustained demand for our products. Consumer demand for BRP’s powersports line-up was also strong this quarter with retail up by more than 25% for both side-by-side vehicles (SSV) and personal watercraft (PWC) in North America. This performance is a testament to our relentless focus on executing on our strategic priorities and on bringing the most innovative products to market”, said José Boisjoli, President and CEO. 

“The fundamentals of our business are robust. We continue to drive operational excellence, and are thus well positioned to be very competitive despite the current potential headwinds caused by current market inflationary pressure. The diversified BRP product portfolio and line-up has never been as strong and the degree of positive engagement from our dealers is very high. We are excited by our momentum and are committed to delivering another record year of normalized EPS growth of 30 to 35%”, concluded Boisjoli.
