However, our strategy to produce units that were missing a few components and retrofitted when components BY STRONG CONSUMER DEMAND were available, either at our plants or by dealers, paid off. With improvements in the second half, this initiative allowed us to rapidly convert units to retail, enabling BRP to significantly FOR OUR LINEUPS, REFLECTING outpace the industry. Additionally, a cybersecurity incident forced temporary production halts in all of our facilities during the summer, but our teams’ prompt reaction limited its THE STRENGTH OF OUR BRANDS impact and lost production had been mostly recaptured by year-end. BECOMING THE #1 POWERSPORTS OEM IN NORTH AMERICA AND FORGING AHEAD AND OUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN WITH OUR MARINE STRATEGY Our performance was also driven by strong consumer demand for our lineups, reflecting the SOLID MOMENTUM IN DEALERS’ strength of our brands and our ability to maintain solid momentum in dealers’ showrooms. We recorded a 6% increase in our North American Powersports retail sales, concluding FY23 SHOWROOMS. with a market share of nearly 35%. This represents an exceptional 5 percentage point gain over the previous year, with strong results across the portfolio and important gains in off-road, supported by additional production capacity at our Juarez 3 facility. Early in FY23, we also became the leading Powersports OEM in terms of average retail units per dealer in North America, a position further strengthened by year-end. I am very proud of this accomplishment, as becoming the #1 OEM was one of our main objectives when BRP became a standalone organization 20 years ago. Our Marine Group had a few setbacks in FY23 leading to a slight revenue decrease compared to the previous fiscal year. While our retail performance was impacted, primarily due to supply chain factors, we remain positive about our outlook for that business, and we announced the construction of a new facility in Mexico to meet anticipated demand growth. EXPANDING OUR PRODUCT PORTFOLIO AND MAKING STRIDES IN EV Innovation is at the core of our DNA. We are known for pushing the boundaries of technology and for developing market-shaping products. FY23 was no exception. We invested over $365 million in research and development, and introduced countless product innovations to gain further traction in our key markets. For snowmobiles, we unveiled our new cutting-edge REV Gen5 platform for Ski-Doo and Radien2 platform for Lynx. Can-Am also brought fun to the entire family with new youth all-terrain vehicles (ATV), as well as a suite of updates to its on-road and off-road lineups. Early in FY24, we announced an all-new platform for the Outlander mid-cc ATV, our most significant upgrade in almost 10 years, which should allow us to gain more share in a category that represents over 50% of the market. On the water, we introduced the Sea-Doo Explorer Pro, specifically intended for longer excursions, and brought PWC performance to a whole new level with the Sea-Doo RXP-X Apex 300.
