Wilmington, NC, March 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: “OTH”, or “Off the Hook Yachts”), a vertically integrated marine marketplace and the largest buyer and seller of used boats in the nation, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company will host a live conference call today at 4:30 P.M. EST.
“We achieved record revenue of $120 million, expanded our national broker network, and continued to build out the infrastructure that we believe positions the Company for continued double-digit growth. Our vertically integrated model—combining brokerage, wholesale inventory acquisition, financing through Azure Funding, and our growing premier brokerage division—continues to differentiate Off the Hook Yachts in the marine industry,” said Brian John, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Off The Hook Yachts.
“Despite a more cautious macro environment for discretionary purchases, the number of boats that we sold grew by more than 30% year-over-year and continued to strengthen our leading market position in the pre-owned segment, where we believe long-term demand remains strong. With expanded floorplan capacity, increased broker productivity, and a growing national footprint, we believe OTH is well-positioned to accelerate growth in 2026 and continue building one of the leading platforms in the recreational marine market,” added Mr. John.

Full-Year 2025 Financial Discussion
Revenue increased 21.1% to $119.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $99.0 million in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a higher floorplan limit that allowed the Company to sustain greater utilization of the Company’s floorplan financing facility throughout the year. Average monthly utilization increased 78%, or $10 million, to $23.4 million in 2025. In addition, the launch of Autograph Yacht Group and the addition of new brokers increased the number of new and pre-owned boats sold in 2025. Pre-owned boat sales increased 20% to $101.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $84.8 million in 2024. The Company sold approximately 426 pre-owned boats in 2025, compared to 321 pre-owned boats in 2024. The average price per pre-owned boat sale transaction was $449,420 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $509,694 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company sells a wide range of brands and sizes of pre-owned boats under different types of sales arrangements that include, trade-ins, brokerage and consignment, which often causes periodic and seasonal fluctuations in the average sales price.
New boat sales increased 32.0%, to $14.5 million in 2025, compared to $11.0 million, in 2024, reflecting increased marketing efforts and a more focused sales initiative for select new boat brands. The Company sold 21 new boats in 2025, compared to approximately 17 new boats, in the same period of 2024.
Revenue from finance-related activities through Azure Funding was $2.6 million, compared to
$3.0 million, in the same period of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a higher mix of cash purchases among high-end buyers, as well as continued elevated marine loan interest rates relative to historical averages. Over 85% of these loans come from non-OTH brokers and dealers reflecting an opportunity for OTH to increase the attachment rate of Azure financing with each boat sale and thereby growing this high margin business internally.
Gross profit increased 30.6% to $11.5 million, compared to $8.8 million, in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher overall sales volume and continued improvements in inventory sourcing and purchasing strategies, particularly within the pre-owned boat segment. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 70 basis points to 9.6% in 2025, compared to 8.9%, in the same period in 2024. Pre-owned boat gross profit increased 32.1% to $8.4 million, compared to $6.3 million, in the same period in 2024, while new boat gross profit increased modestly to $0.8 million from $0.7 million, in the same period in 2024. Azure Finance related gross profit was $1.5 million, compared to $1.7 million, in the same period of 2024.
Operating expenses were $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5.8 million, in 2024. The increase was driven by increased marketing investments and infrastructure investments to support the Company’s continued growth and expansion following its initial public offering, as well as $1.8 million of stock-based compensation recognized during the year. The Company expects operating expenses as a percentage of revenue to decline over time as it continues to scale the business and realize operating leverage that comes from the addition of high-margin businesses that are growing from a small base, like the Azure Finance division.
Interest expense related to floorplan financing increased to $1.9 million, compared to $1.1 million in the same period in 2024, reflecting increased utilization of the Company’s inventory financing facilities.
Net loss for 2025 was $1.6 million, compared to net income of $1.0 million, in the same period of 2024. The change was primarily driven by higher operating expenses associated with scaling the business and expenses related to becoming a public company.
Adjusted EBITDA was $0.5 million, compared to $1.2 million, in 2024, reflecting increased operating costs associated with the Company’s growth initiatives and public company infrastructure.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $12.4 million in cash, compared to $2.27 million on September 30, 2025.
Working capital improved to $9.4 million on December 31, 2025, compared to negative $0.4 million on December 31, 2024. The improvement was primarily driven by the successful completion of the Company’s initial public offering in November 2025, which generated approximately $13.4 million in cash proceeds, strengthening the Company’s liquidity position and balance sheet.
Total assets were $48.4 million on December 31, 2025, compared to $31.6 million on December 31, 2024. Total liabilities were $36.2 million, consisting primarily of $25.3 million in floorplan notes payable, as well as accounts payable, customer deposits, and operating lease liabilities.
The Company believes its current cash position, combined with operating cash flow and available inventory financing facilities, provides sufficient liquidity to support planned growth investments.
Fourth Quarter Financial Discussion
Fourth quarter revenues of $37.3 million, increased 25.2%, compared to fourth quarter revenues of $29.8 million, in 2024, this revenue increase was due to the increase in floor plan and the addition of Autograph Yachts. Revenue from arranging financing products, including financing, insurance and extended warranty contracts, to customers through various fourth-party financial institutions and insurance companies, was $0.820 million as compared to $0.845 million, in the same period of 2024.
We sold 62% more boats in the fourth quarter of 2025 selling 117 in the fourth quarter of 2025 versus 72 boats in the same period of 2024. We believe sales can continue to grow at a higher rate going forward due to an increased broker pool and a larger amount of capital to grow our floor plan and increase the number of boats we can transact.
The Company plans to increase the attachment rate of Azure financing with our boat sales and thereby growing the business internally.
Gross profit was $3.1 million compared to $1.9 million in the same period of 2024. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by 20 basis points. Our boat sales gross profit increased $2.7 million which we believe results from our purchasing team’s skillful buying decisions for our pre-owned boat inventory.
Operating expenses totaled $4.9 million compared to $1.8 million in the same period of 2024. The increase in SG&A primarily reflects investments in go-to-market capacity and public company infrastructure to support substantially higher expected revenue over the next several years.
Floor plan interest expense was $0.578 million compared to $0.482 million for 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement OTH’s financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, OTH presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are defined below, should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
OTH is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures to assist investors in seeing OTH’s operating results through the eyes of management and because OTH believes that these measures provide a useful tool for investors to use in assessing OTH’s operating performance against prior period operating results and against business objectives. OTH uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its operating results and for financial and operational decision-making.
The accompanying tables provide more detail on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to the non-GAAP financial measures described above and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define and calculate adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) before interest income or expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the items as described in the reconciliation below.
These include, but are not limited to the following:
- non-cash expenses, such as depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation
- interest expense and income tax expense or benefit
The following tables present a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to our net (loss) income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods presented. We believe this information will be useful for investors to facilitate comparisons of our operating performance and identify trends in our business.
