Letter to shareholders for the year ended 
January 31, 2022 – José Boisjoli

FY22 has been exceptional in many ways and will be a year to 
remember for BRP and all its stakeholders. Our talented teams 
navigated in a volatile environment to build on last year’s momentum 
and deliver the Company’s strongest financial results to date. Despite 
managing through supply chain disruptions and low network 
inventory, we were able to outpace the industry in retail sales in North 
America and continue gaining market share in powersports. In 
addition, we increased production capacity and introduced several 
new market-shaping products, positioning us well for the future as 
we continue powering ahead. 

ATTAINED RECORD FINANCIAL RESULTS 

In FY22, we reached historical financial milestones on 
several fronts, with revenues of $7.6 billion, up 28% over 
FY21. Diluted earnings per share more than doubled to 
$9.31 and Normalized1 diluted earnings per share 
increased 84% to $9.92, ending above our guidance range 
between $9.00 and $9.75. This exceptional performance 
was driven by continued strong consumer demand, the solid 
execution of our team, and our manufacturing agility.

In fact, consumer interest for powersports is not slowing 
down. Customer repurchase rates, website visits and 
pre-orders for many products are higher than they have ever 
been. Likewise, new entrants, who historically accounted 
for about 20% of buyers, now represent closer to 30%, 
and have a more diversified profile than our traditional 
customers. These are all positive trends for medium to 
long-term growth in our industry. Despite this surge in 
consumer demand, our low level of network inventory, 
coupled with ongoing supply chain disruptions, limited our 
ability to fully meet demand and grow retail in FY22. 

LEVERAGED OUR MODULAR DESIGN APPROACH 
AND GAINED MARKET SHARE

The shortage of key components, combined with the 
logistics congestion at different ports worldwide, created 
significant supply chain disruptions in the latter part of the 
year. The limited availability of semiconductors resulted in 
some of our units having to be retrofitted, thus increasing 
our work in process and creating delays in the timing of 
certain deliveries. That said, we took advantage of our modular 
design approach and diversified product portfolio to leverage 
common components across our different product lines based 
on seasonality. This strategy allowed us to optimize production 
output as well as maximize shipments and retail. 

BRP  I  2022 ANNUAL REVIEW  I  2 

1 See Non-IFRS measures section on p. 33.

As a result, we continued to outpace the industry in North 
America in FY22. Although our retail performance was down 
6% for the year, the industry decreased mid-teen%. We ended 
the year with about 30% market share, gaining about three 
percentage points over FY21, or about 10 percentage points 
over the past six years. Ski-Doo, Sea-Doo and Can-Am 3WV 
closed their seasons with the no. 1 position in their respective 
markets. These gains reflect the traction of our strong brands 
and the dedication of our teams. 

Moreover, we announced a $300 million investment over 
the next five years to electrify each of our existing product 
lines by the end of calendar 2026. Furthermore, with the 
motorcycle industry shifting to electric, we seized the 
opportunity to reclaim our motorcycle heritage and announced 
our first EV models to the market. The upcoming launch 
in mid-2024 of our all-electric lineup of Can-Am 2-wheel 
motorcycles is expected to further solidify our dealer value 
proposition, attract new consumers and, ultimately, drive 
future growth.

WELL-POSITIONED TO CONTINUE OUTPACING 
THE INDUSTRY

During FY22, we increased our production capacity and 
introduced several market-shaping products. We expect that 
these initiatives will allow us to gain market share in existing 
segments and expand our addressable market into adjacent 
segments, positioning us well to continue to outpace the 
industry. Furthermore, with investments of over $600 million 
in capital expenditures and nearly $300 million in research 
and development this year, we expect to remain ahead of 
the curve.

In terms of capacity projects, we completed the ramp-up of 
Juárez 3 (SSV) and Querétaro (PWC), effectively increasing 
capacity by 50% and 30% respectively. We also successfully 
repurposed our Sturtevant facility to assemble the Sea-Doo 
Switch. Furthermore, given the strong demand for SSVs and 
our ongoing market share gains, we announced the start of 
the phase II expansion of our Juárez 3 facility, with the 
objective of doubling its production capacity. Production 
ramp up is planned in the first quarter of FY24.

We introduced new products across all our product lines 
which generated excitement among dealers and consumers 
alike, including the Sea-Doo Switch which is seen as a 
game changer for the pontoon category. FY22 also marked 
the highly successful introduction of Lynx snowmobiles to 
North America.

BALANCED CAPITAL ALLOCATION AND SOLID 
FINANCIAL POSITION

We generated $770 million of cash flow from operations in 
FY22, lower than last year, as our higher profitability was 
partially offset by unfavourable changes in working capital. 
These variations were primarily driven by higher raw material 
and work in process inventory, which were negatively 
impacted by supply chain disruptions. We deployed our 
capital in a balanced manner, using cash mainly to invest 
in capital expenditures, repay debt and repurchase shares 
for $682 million through the combination of a Substantial 
Issuer Bid and Normal Course Issuer Bid. We ended the 
year in a solid financial position with a net debt to 
Normalized1 EBITDA ratio of 1.2x. 

CONFIDENT FOR THE FUTURE 

Looking ahead, we expect to deliver another record year in 
FY23. Our guidance calls for solid growth ranging between 
24% and 29% in revenues, and between 11% and 14% in 
diluted Normalized1 EPS. We are confident about achieving 
this profitability objective and sustaining growth in FY24 
and beyond based on multiple growth drivers. These include 
ongoing consumer interest in powersports, robust demand 
for our product lineups, and disruptive product introductions, 
namely with new boats powered by our new Ghost engine 

family. Furthermore, we expect to leverage additional production 
capacity and the upcoming replenishment cycle, combined 
with opportunities related to new entrants and our investment 
in electric vehicles.

Additionally, at the beginning of FY23, we proudly launched 
our CSR25 program, which clearly reflects our intention to 
be the industry leader in corporate citizenship and to reinvent 
how we move people in a more sustainable way. The program 
includes more ambitious environmental targets than ever 
before, and concrete initiatives for 2025 and beyond. It also 
strengthens our commitment to giving back to the communities 
where we are present. To ensure we can have the most lasting 
impact, we are rallying our whole organization and our full 
network around one global cause, Riding Out Intimidation.

In closing, I would like to thank all our stakeholders for 
their agility, dedication and resilience in this challenging 
period. More particularly, our employees and suppliers for 
their relentless efforts, as well as our dealers and consumers 
for their patience and loyalty. Lastly, I thank my fellow Board 
members for their judicious advice, and our shareholders 
for their ongoing support of BRP.

AND EVEN MORE SO SINCE 2019. IN FY22, WE CONTINUED TO OUTSTRIP THE MOTORCYCLE 
INDUSTRY IN OPENING THE ROAD AND BRINGING THE THRILL OF THE RIDING EXPERIENCE 
TO ALL, AND OUR EFFORTS WERE RECOGNIZED AROUND THE WORLD. #WECANALLRIDE

STREAKING AHEAD WITH CAN-AM ON-ROAD

MAKING OUR MARK FOR WOMEN OF ON-ROAD

Retail sales for Can-Am On-Road continued to break records 
in FY22, with a solid growth compared to the previous year. 
In fact, the size (in number of retail units) of the Can-Am 
On-Road business in North America is now triple what it 
was in FY18.

Our Facebook community’s membership increased 
by 70% to reach 11,800, while the campaign 
was recognized with nearly 20 awards from around 
the globe, including for “Engaged Community” 
(US Effie Awards), and “Demonstrated Growth” 
(ANA Multicultural Excellence Awards).

OPENING THE ROADS TO MORE PEOPLE

Can-Am Ryker is attracting more new entrants than ever 
before, and is proudly welcoming younger and more diverse 
owners than the motorcycle industry average. In FY22, 55% 
of Ryker buyers had never owned a motorcycle, an increase 
from the previous year, and better than the 34% industry 
average. Additionally, according to the statistics collected 
by the US Department of Motor Vehicles, 70% of owners 
were under 55, 38% identified as female, and 49% as 
ethnically non-European, compared to motorcycle industry 
averages of 65%, 21% and 32% respectively (Source: IHS 
Data US Ryker vs On-Hwy Market).

PROVIDING THE KEY TO RIDE

Our Rider Education program is still key to enabling a 
wider range of people to access the sport. Registrations 
to obtain a licence for a Can-Am 3WV at our 150+ partner 
riding schools in North America continued to rise, by 
8% to 15,000 in FY22.

GROWING THE CAN-AM RYKER FAMILY

In keeping with our mission of increasing access to the 
open road, we brought the Can-Am Ryker Rally to the 
next level, making it more capable, rugged, and fun. 
We have also introduced the new Can-Am Ryker Sport 
to address the demand for a more sporty, convenient 
and comfortable Ryker with premium features.

CAN-AM OFF-ROAD VEHICLES CONTINUE TO STOKE ENTHUSIASM FOR OFF-ROAD LIVIN’, WHETHER 
ON THE RANCH, ON THE TRAIL, OR ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN. PROVIDING EVERYTHING NEEDED 
TO HAUL TIMBER, HUNT, RACE, OR TAKE ON ANY LANDSCAPE, WITH A HOST OF ADEPTS TO SHOW 
HOW IT’S DONE, THE BRAND IS CONTINUING TO GROW IN POPULARITY.

GAINING GROUND THROUGH STRONG MOMENTUM 
IN NORTH AMERICA

The brand reached an all-time high in consideration of our 
products for purchase of 57% among off-road consumers, 
leading to market share gains. Side-by-side vehicles (SSV) 
pulled ahead of the competition to become the second 
player in market share in the SSV Ute-Rec segment, by far 
the largest of the industry. Meanwhile, all-terrain vehicles 
(ATV) maintained overall market share in a growing industry, 
grabbing the top spot in the Top Rec-Ute segment. The 
volume of new entrants purchasing Can-Am Off-Road was 
up 40% for SSV and up 22% for ATV, compared to FY21.

CONNECTING WITH OUR COMMUNITIES

Can-Am Off-Road communities are varied, going from hunters 
to racers. Our brand platform Off-Road Livin’ celebrates 
them all, showcasing real people and real stories that 
generate positive sentiment and inspire strong connection 
with the brand. On October 8, Can-Am initiated the first 
ever International Off-Road Day, a global, culturally relevant 
moment for the off-road community, with group rides, and 
events with ambassadors, consumers and dealers around 
the world. 

BRP  I  2022 ANNUAL REVIEW  I  11 

PARTNERING WITH CHAMPIONS

Across the globe, over 60 ambassadors, covering a wide 
range of passions, set the scene for Can-Am storytelling 
and engaging with different communities. They embody 
who we are and fully embrace Off-Road Livin’. Their 
partnership has increased engagement with the brand by 
28% compared to last year.

SWEEPING THE PODIUMS

We’ve won all top three positions at the prestigious King 
of the Hammers SSV race three years in a row – something 
no other brand has ever done. It’s been five years running 
at the Dakar Rally. And we’ve been putting in consistent 
appearances at the top of the podium wherever our racers 
compete, winning first place at the Baja 1000 in Turbo 
and Open Division, at the UTV World Championships, and 
at the Mint 400 in the Turbo, Unlimited, and Rally classes.

PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF PERFORMANCE

To celebrate 10 years since entering the side-by-
side category, Can-Am completely redesigned the 
Commander, allowing us to gain significant market 
share points in the segment. Always upping the 
ante, we also became, in FY22, the first side-by-
side manufacturer to offer a 200 hp engine, 
with the refined Turbo RR powerpack for the 
Maverick X3, leading the category.

INNOVATION, AND A LOYAL COMMUNITY OF ENTHUSIASTIC RIDERS WHO LOVE 
TO SHARE THEIR PASSION.

CONTINUING TO BREAK COMMERCIAL RECORDS

DEBUTING THE MOST POWERFUL SKI-DOO EVER

This year, we brought back our legendary Mach Z muscle 
sled featuring our new Rotax 900 ACE Turbo R. Our riders 
know that the heart of any muscle sled is the engine and 
we delivered an eyeball-flattening 180 hp with exclusive 
launch control for the quickest holeshot. Sales of the 
limited edition of the Mach Z with our new engine were far 
above our target, with more than double the number of 
units planned.

For the third year in a row, Ski-Doo achieved a new 
record-high market share, remaining the #1 brand in North 
America. Demand for snowmobiles was so strong that spring 
2021 orders were higher than ever before, setting a record 
never seen in the 63 years of Ski-Doo’s existence.

CREATING CONNECTIONS WITH ALL RIDERS

Ski-Doo’s focus this year was on creating engaging content 
that evokes That Ski-Doo Feeling, as well as being present 
for its community. We were able to connect in meaningful 
ways with all riders, experienced or new entrants. The 
percentage of newcomers doubled, from 3% to 6%. 

GENERATING A BUZZ AMONG RIDERS WITH THE INDUSTRY’S 
FIRST SEMI-AUTOMATIC SUSPENSION

Smart-Shox, the most intuitive suspension ever unleashed 
on a snowmobile, adjusts shocks automatically, up to 
50 times per second, offering never-before-seen handling 
and comfort on every ride, regardless of the terrain or riding 
style. Introduced in FY22, riders couldn’t get enough: 
the number of customers who chose this option surpassed 
our expectations.

FOR 55 YEARS, LYNX SNOWMOBILES HAVE EARNED A REPUTATION FOR TAMING NORTHERN 
EUROPEAN WINTERS. WHETHER WORKING OUTDOORS, OR HAVING FUN ON THE TRAILS OR 
RACE TRACK, LYNX IS KNOWN FOR ITS POWER AND PERFORMANCE. IN 2021, THE #1 
SNOWMOBILE BRAND IN EUROPE VENTURED INTO NEW PLAYGROUNDS, BRINGING AN 
ENTIRELY NEW NORDIC RIDING STYLE TO NORTH AMERICA THAT MANY HARDCORE 
ENTHUSIASTS HAD BEEN CRAVING FOR YEARS.

MAINTAINING THE TOP POSITION IN EUROPE

TRAILBLAZING NEW SUSPENSION TECHNOLOGY

In FY22, Lynx remained the market leader in Europe as the 
#1 brand in Finland, Sweden and Norway in market share, 
and the #1 imported brand in Russia. The 2022 lineup was 
well received by hardcore snowmobilers, and Lynx achieved 
a record-high number of spring certificates.

The new PPS3 rear suspension, featured on the Rave 
RE model, offers more controlled weight transfer and 
wider comfort zone while maintaining its legendary 
performance in rough conditions. 

OPENING UP THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET

For the first time in decades, a new sled brand made its 
way to North America: Lynx. Two models were introduced 
in February 2021 to pre-order only: the Rave RE for trails, 
and the BoonDocker for deep snow. The launch was very 
successful, with sales reaching close to 170% of the 
first-year target, split 50/50 between models, and owners 
groups of advanced riders reacting positively to this new 
sledding experience. 

CONTINUING OUR RACING HERITAGE

Petter Nårsa from Sweden won the FIM Snowcross World 
Championship, riding a Lynx, in the brand’s home town 
of Rovaniemi, Finland! This was the ninth gold medal for 
a Lynx rider since 2004, when the competition was held 
for the first time.

DEBUTING THE MOST POWERFUL LYNX EVER

The new Rotax 900 ACE Turbo R, at 180 hp, is our 
most powerful snowmobile engine to date. The option 
made its debut on the Lynx Xterrain RE model in 
FY22, amplifying the thrill of the ride. 

EXPANDING WIDE TRACK OFFERING

To better serve its commercial customers, such 
as ski resorts, Lynx launched the 500 mm wide 
track 59 Ranger Alpine model. Thanks to this 
new offering, along with the existing 600 mm 
wide track 69 Ranger Alpine model, Lynx now 
has a complete lineup of heavy-duty utility 
snowmobiles specifically designed for use in 
challenging alpine conditions.

THE MOST COMPLETE EVER FOR FUN ON THE WATER. THE LAUNCH OF AN INDUSTRY-
DISRUPTING, ENTRY-LEVEL PONTOON AND A COMPLETE FISHING LINEUP ENABLE A 
WIDE RANGE OF CUSTOMERS TO LIVE THEIR BEST SEA-DOO LIFE. 

OUTSTRIPPING THE COMPETITION

INTRODUCING A FISHPRO FOR EVERYONE

To further expand the fast-growing PWC fishing segment, 
Sea-Doo also added two new models to its fishing lineup 
this year, building on the proven popularity of the Sea-Doo 
FishPro introduced in FY19. The FishPro Trophy targets 
sport fishing pros with its modular swivel seat, its unique 
anchoring system, its quick-connect livewell, and a touch 
screen with fish-finder and navigation system. It was awarded 
the 2022 Innovation Award at the Miami International 
Boat Show in the Personal Watercraft category. The FishPro 
Scout is an affordable option for the occasional angler, 
and sports a redesigned 51L LinQ fishing cooler, adjustable 
rod holders, an electronic fish locator and additional 
storage options.

Globally, Sea-Doo’s leading market share continued to 
increase for the fourth year in a row. In North America, the 
brand not only kept its #1 spot in all segments this year, 
but also topped the podium in all markets. More and more 
people are discovering the joys of living the Sea-Doo Life, 
with almost 50% of purchases around the world made by 
first-time PWC buyers.

ENTERING A NEW ERA OF ON-WATER FUN

With the launch of the innovative Sea-Doo Switch in FY22, 
we are changing the face of the boating world. By reinventing 
the entry-level offering in the pontoon category, we are making 
it easier for families to enjoy time on the water. A totally 
different kind of pontoon, the Switch boasts a completely 
flexible interior layout that can be easily reconfigured as the 
day evolves. Playful aesthetics and effortless maneuverability 
put the focus on fun, and its exceptional affordability 
makes it more accessible.

We have seen a strong early momentum for the Switch, 
which almost sold out in its first season. It is also making 
waves wherever it goes, already earning multiple nominations 
and awards. The Sea-Doo Switch has received the 2022 
Minneapolis Innovation Award in the pontoon boat category, 
recognizing ground-breaking new consumer marine products.

PARTS , ACCESSORIES 
AND  APPAREL (PA&A )

BRP PARTS, ACCESSORIES AND APPAREL (PA&A) ARE DESIGNED TO ENHANCE 
THE OVERALL RIDING EXPERIENCE, AND HAVE CONSTITUTED A STEADILY GROWING 
BUSINESS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, WITH TYPICALLY HIGH PROFIT MARGINS. 
THEY ARE TAKING ON NEW IMPORTANCE AS THEY BECOME AN INTEGRAL PART OF 
THE EXPERIENCE – NOT JUST AN ADD-ON – EXTENDING THE FUNCTIONALITY 
OF OUR PRODUCTS.

REACHING A HISTORIC MILESTONE

PERSONALIZING THE EXPERIENCE

The PA&A business surpassed the $1 billion mark in 
wholesale revenues in FY22 for the first time. Riders have 
hit the water, the snow, the trails and the road more often 
than before, increasing product usage which drove higher 
replacement part revenues. Strong unit retail also generated 
increased accessories sales, notably thanks to our proprietary 
LinQ ecosystem, which is now fully deployed across all 
Powersports brands. Other key sources of growth include 
XPS Lubricants and Care products, developed by BRP.

DRIVING PURCHASE DECISIONS

Accessories are now well integrated into the customer’s 
online purchasing journey. When using the “Customize your 
own” option online, customers receive recommendations for 
curated bundles of accessories to enhance their experience 
with the new vehicle. The strategy proved to be very successful 
with the launch of the new Sea-Doo Switch this year.

In FY22, more than 80 new accessories were launched to 
complement the new Sea-Doo Switch lineup. This strategy 
was an integral part of the pontoon’s design – not only 
enhancing, but fully personalizing the on-board experience. 
Dealer and customer accessory pre-orders even exceeded 
expectations, making Sea-Doo Switch the highest dollar-
per-unit contributor of all brands in its inaugural year.

PUMPING UP THE VOLUME

In our accessories business, audio systems are all 
the rage, as riders are looking to enhance their 
experience and set their soundtrack for the day. 
These accessories are driving dollar-per-unit growth 
in most of our brands. Success stories include our 
Can-Am Ryker Audio System, as well as new 
premium offerings for our Can-Am Defender and 
Sea-Doo Switch powered by our collaboration with 
high-end brand JL Audio.

OEM  ENGINES

ROTAX ENGINES ARE NOT JUST THE HEART OF BRP’S PRODUCTS. THEY ALSO LEAD 
THE LIGHT SPORT AND ULTRALIGHT AIRCRAFT MARKET, AND ARE SUPPLIED TO 
MORE THAN 80% OF ALL AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURERS IN THIS SEGMENT. ALSO, 
ROTAX COMBUSTION AND ELECTRIC ENGINES CONTINUE TO MAKE THEIR MARK 
IN THE KARTING WORLD. DRAWING ON A MORE THAN 100-YEAR HISTORY OF 
INNOVATION, BRP-ROTAX CONTINUES TO PUSH THE LIMITS OF POWERTRAINS, 
AS DEMONSTRATED AGAIN THIS YEAR.

FLYING TOWARDS NEW HORIZONS

A Rotax-powered Comco Ikarus C42 microlight aircraft, 
flown by a British Royal Air Force pilot, made the world’s 
first flight using 100% synthetic fuel in November 2021. 
The multi-fuel capability of our aircraft engines, that can 
fly with unleaded, leaded MOGAS or AVGAS fuel, was the 
perfect match for this innovative project. 

developed in house, ended the season as a new e-powered 
category in the RMC Grand Finals in the Kingdom of Bahrain. 
The Grand Finals saw 378 drivers, from over 60 countries, 
competing in seven categories during this action-packed 
week. We are already setting the stage for the 22nd edition 
of the RMC Grand Finals in Portugal, where former Formula 1 
driver Antonio Pizzonia will battle it out in the MAX DD2 
Masters category.

BOOSTING THE IN-FLIGHT EXPERIENCE

The renowned 915iS engine is now available with a new 
24-volt power supply option, which will enable pilots 
to upgrade their cockpits without adding engine weight. 
It enables 24V aircraft board systems, supports digital 
displays and glass cockpit, and adds reserves for 
auxiliary instruments, tablets and gadgets.

CELEBRATING OUR 10 MILLIONTH ENGINE

In FY22, Rotax celebrated the successful production of its 
10 millionth engine in Gunskirchen, Austria. Built on over 
100 years of ingenuity, Rotax powertrains are recognized for 
their performance, fuel efficiency and emissions profile, all 
over the world.

RUNNING THE KARTING SHOW

We have had another successful and spectacular racing 
season with big starting grids in the national and international 
Rotax Max Challenge (RMC) events. Beginning their second 
racing year, the Rotax Project E20 e-karts toured Europe 
with demo days and race events, showcasing their impressive 
power output. The e-karts, powered by an electric powerpack

GRO UP

Around the world, people make memories on the water 

every day. By creating the BRP Marine group in 2018, we 

aimed to elevate that experience. In FY22, building on the 

behind-the-scenes work done previously, we turned our 

attention to how we showcase our brands, laying the 

infrastructure to do so.

WITH A LONG HISTORY, AND A FAITHFUL FOLLOWING AMONG THOSE WHO LOVE 
FISHING AND THE OUTDOORS, ALUMACRAFT HAS BEGUN TO GAIN NEW GROUND. 
THIS YEAR, A NEW VISUAL IDENTITY, WEBSITE, AND DEALER MARKETING TOOLS 
WERE PUT IN PLACE TO HELP THE BRAND BECOME EVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL.

OUTPACING THE INDUSTRY

TAKING DEALER PROGRAMS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Alumacraft retail performance on Large Vee and Mid Vee 
boats increased significantly compared to the previous 
season, outpacing the entire US aluminum fishing boat 
industry (16’ - 25’) which grew by 5.1%.

ADVANCING A STRONG BRAND

We launched a new Alumacraft visual identity, designed 
to build greater brand awareness and recognition, and 
contribute to BRP’s growth. An all-new Alumacraft website 
also launched on the same technology platform as our 
Powersports brands, for increased efficiency and economies 
of scale. This system enables an optimal customer 
experience across digital platforms. 

We made new Alumacraft marketing tools and services 
available to boost dealer competitiveness, including the 
first-ever Dealer Co-Op Paid Media plans, applying our 
tried-and-tested Powersports model. This turnkey program 
gives dealers access to top-notch media placement agencies 
at an affordable price, maximizing ROI of dealer Co-Op 
funds. What’s more, we have standardized suppliers and 
automated processes for Alumacraft to help keep us 
lean, including the Co-Op Claim Centre services, Lead 
Management System, and Customer Satisfaction Index 
Survey Management.

FOR OVER THREE AND A HALF DECADES, MANITOU HAS BEEN MAKING WAVES IN 
PONTOONS BY PROVIDING OUTSTANDING PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE – IT 
WAS AWARDED A NATIONAL MARINE MANUFACTURERS’ ASSOCIATION CUSTOMER 
SATISFACTION INDEX AWARD FOR THE 20TH YEAR IN A ROW. ON TOP OF THIS, 
MANITOU ADOPTED SOME OF BRP’S TRIED-AND-TRUE PROGRAMS AND TOOLS THIS 
YEAR, AND IS NOW BETTER EQUIPPED THAN EVER TO STAND OUT AND DELIVER 
UNRIVALED EXPERIENCES.

GROWING SALES TO GAIN MARKET SHARE

OPENING THE THROTTLE ON DEALER PROGRAMS

By the end of the summer season, retail sales for Manitou 
recorded a solid increase compared to the same time the 
previous year, with notable growth in each pontoon segment. 
While the US pontoon industry as a whole stayed flat, Manitou’s 
market share also reflected growth. To support the strong, 
sustained demand we have seen for our Manitou boats, we 
announced at the beginning of FY23 an investment to expand 
our production capacity in Lansing and to add manufacturing 
and warehousing capacity in St. John’s, nearly doubling our 
workforce in the state of Michigan. 

Manitou took dealer marketing tools and services to the 
next level, with the launch of Dealer Co-Op Paid Media 
Plans. This new turnkey program gives dealers access to 
first-rate media placement providers at an affordable price, 
optimizes use of Co-Op funds, and promotes the Manitou 
brand and dealerships across key markets. Other programs, 
such as our Co-Op Claim Centre services, Lead Management 
System, and Customer Satisfaction Index Survey Management, 
all serve to further standardize suppliers and automate 
processes, thus keeping BRP lean.

BUILDING A POWERFUL BRAND

In an effort to raise awareness for the brand, Manitou also 
got a brand new look. The revamped Manitou website 
went live on the same technology platform as our Powersports 
brands, for optimal customer experience across 
digital platforms.

AUSTRALIA’S FAVOURITE ALUMINUM BOAT, QUINTREX HEADS A STAR CAST OF 
ICONIC BRANDS THAT INCLUDE STACER, SAVAGE AND YELLOWFIN PLATE. BUILDING 
ON PRODUCTION ADVANCES MADE IN FY21, OUR AUSTRALIAN OPERATIONS UPPED 
THE ANTE IN FY22, LAYING THE FOUNDATION TO CONTINUE THEIR UPWARD TREND.

CONTINUING TO LEAD THE MARKET

FACILITATING VALUE-ADDED SALES

To make it less confusing and, therefore, easier for 
customers to get the right options for their lifestyle, we 
introduced option packages – “Boat Bundles” – on our 
new Quintrex product lineups. We also launched the Pro 
version which already includes all the most frequently 
requested options. This strategy creates value for dealers 
as well as for BRP, in addition to making the buying 
process a breeze for our customers.

In FY22, we further solidified our leadership position in 
aluminum boats in Australia. We gained market share points, 
thanks to flagship brands Quintrex and Stacer. We also 
experienced strong retail growth year over year, spurred by 
sustained demand for recreational boats in Australia.

POWERING UP BRAND MARKETING

Designed to complement the national brand marketing 
strategy, turnkey marketing solutions for our dealers were 
launched across multiple channels, inspiring high uptake 
in the network.

BOOSTING PRODUCTION

To meet market demand, production capacity has increased 
at the Coomera plant, bringing with it efficiency gains. This 
capacity increase alone is equivalent to the production 
output of our competitors.

RA I S ING  THE BAR ON 
COR POR AT E  SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

AS AN ORGANIZATION BUILT ON PASSION, TRUST, DRIVE, AND INGENUITY, WE ARE COMMITTED TO ACTIVELY CREATING 
A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR OUR EMPLOYEES, OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR CUSTOMERS, AND ALL OUR STAKEHOLDERS. 

Structured to foster value creation around three main pillars—Environment, Social, 
and Governance—CSR25 is designed to meet specific objectives which focus on BRP’s 
employees, communities, operations and products.

CSR25 is an integrated part of BRP’s business strategy. Our Board of Directors and 
Executive Management team are fully dedicated to driving our CSR efforts on the path to 
success, with the support of five senior executives who leverage their own expertise to 
lead specific pillars and a dedicated team of CSR professionals.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program has continued to evolve, and 
although the pandemic slowed some of our initiatives, our commitment never 
wavered. Throughout FY22, as we made progress on our existing objectives, we 
worked diligently to design our most ambitious program yet, CSR25, unveiled on 
April 11, 2022.

INTRODUCING CSR25

With bold targets and tangible initiatives, CSR25 demonstrates our commitment 
to doing what is right and becoming the industry leader in corporate citizenship. 
Specifically, its objectives include:

•   Reduce the carbon footprint of our products and operations.

•   Make a positive and lasting impact in our communities and the daily lives 

of our employees.

•   Continue to make sound strategic decisions, uphold high ethical standards, 

and conduct our operations in a sustainable manner.

ALL. THIS COMMITMENT IS CLEAR IN THE AMBITIOUS GOALS 
WE HAVE SET FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS OF OUR FACILITIES, 
PRODUCTS, AND SUPPLY CHAIN.

ACC EL E RAT ING  EL ECTRIC VEHICLE R&D

To meet these ambitious goals, we are investing CA$300 million over the 
next five years in product development, infrastructure, production tooling 
and facilities, including the expansion of electric power unit development 
capacity at our BRP-Rotax facility in Gunskirchen (Austria), and the creation 
of the BRP Electric Vehicle Development Centre in Valcourt (Québec). 
We also committed to introducing an electric model in each of our 
existing product lines by the end of 2026. Furthermore, we recently 
confirmed our first EV models with the upcoming launch of an all-
electric lineup of 2-wheel Can-Am motorcycles, which represents 
an additional investment.

TA KI N G A STAND  AGAINST 
INT IM IDATION

PROMOTING 
RESPONSIBLE RIDING

CREATING A WORKPLACE  
WHERE EVERYONE CAN THRIVE

People across BRP have long been highly engaged in 
community initiatives, volunteering, and financial giving. 
In 2022, in an effort to maximize our social impact within 
the communities we serve, we adopted a global collective 
cause. With so many worthy causes to choose from, we 
applied strict selection criteria, such as full alignment with 
our values and mission, extreme relevance to adults and 
children in all markets where BRP operates, and high 
potential to inspire and mobilize a wide range of stakeholders.

We have chosen to rally against intimidation. Through this 
firm stance, we acknowledge that intimidation is an important 
social challenge that can affect us at work, at home, and 
at play, and we commit to focusing our efforts and our drive 
to Ride Out Intimidation. As an employer and a corporate 
citizen with a strong presence in multiple communities 
around the world, we will inspire and contribute to behavior 
change. We believe inclusivity starts where intimidation ends.

Also key to the CSR25 Social pillar is our enhanced 
Responsible Rider program. We believe that when we empower 
all riders to ride responsibly—to look out for each other and 
safeguard our trails and playgrounds—we inspire an industry 
to welcome newcomers, build a more caring community, and 
generate positive experiences.

The Responsible Rider program combines action, education, 
and community empowerment, to enable every member of 
the powersports and marine communities to ride responsibly 
and rethink the way we approach safety, environment, and 
riding etiquette. 

We want to be the first powersports vehicles and boats 
manufacturer to talk loudly and proudly about responsible 
riding, and position ourselves as the safest and most 
caring brand. 

We aim to foster an even more inclusive culture in which 
everyone feels they belong. We have embarked on a diversity, 
equity and inclusion (DE&I) journey. Our DE&I Strategic 
Framework provides the foundation for establishing priorities, 
defining measures, and setting targets. We have created a DE&I 
Council composed of employees from diverse backgrounds 
and workplaces, and led by two senior executives who will 
implement a strong action plan. We are implementing data 
strategies to help us measure our progress, and specific 
DE&I employee resource groups are also being formed to 
help us remove barriers and reach targets.

Unless otherwise stated, the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual 
Review are made as of the date of this Annual Review and the Company has 
no intention and undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-
looking statements, including to reflect future events, changes in circumstances, 
or changes in beliefs, unless required by applicable securities regulations. In 
the event that the Company does update any forward-looking statements contained 
in this Annual Review, no inference should be made that the Company will 
make additional updates with respect to that statement, related matters or any 
other forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements contained in 
this Annual Review are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS 
The Company made a number of economic, market and operational assumptions 
in preparing and making certain forward-looking statements contained in this 
Annual Review, including the following: reasonable industry growth ranging 
from slightly down to up high-single digits; market share that will remain 
constant or moderately increase; stable global and North American economic 
conditions and a limited impact from the military hostilities in Ukraine and 
the ongoing global health crisis; main currencies in which the Company operates 
will remain at near current levels; inflation is expected to remain elevated 
from strong demand, supply shortages and high energy prices, and is expected 
to gradually decline as central banks gradually increase interest rates; there 
will be no significant changes in tax laws or free trade arrangements or treaties 
applicable to the Company; the Company’s current margins, will remain at 
current or improved levels; the supply base will remain able to support product 
development and planned production rates on commercially acceptable terms 
in a timely manner; no new trade barriers will be imposed amongst jurisdictions 
in which the Company carries operations; the absence of unusually adverse 
weather conditions, especially in peak seasons. BRP cautions that its assumptions 
may not materialize and that current economic conditions may render such 
assumptions, although believed reasonable at the time they were made, 
subject to greater uncertainty.

NON-IFRS MEASURES 
The Company’s financial statements, available under the Company’s profiles on 
SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, have been prepared 
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

This Annual Review makes reference to certain non-IFRS financial measures. These 
measures are not recognized measures under IFRS, do not have a standardized 
meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to 
similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are 
provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing 
further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s 
perspective. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a 
substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS.

The Company believes non-IFRS measures are important supplemental measures 
of financial performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing 
on the Company’s financial performance and thus highlight trends in its core 
business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. 
The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested 
parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, 
many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. Management 
also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate financial performance 

comparisons from period to period, prepare annual operating budgets, assess 
the Company’s ability to meet its future debt service, capital expenditure and 
working capital requirements, and also, as a component in the determination 
of the short-term incentive compensation for the Company’s employees. Because 
other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the 
Company does, these metrics are not comparable to similarly titled measures 
reported by other companies. “Normalized EBITDA” is defined as net income 
before financing costs, financing income, income tax expense (recovery), 
depreciation expense and normalized elements as described in the 2022 MD&A 
(as defined below), such as transaction costs, restructuring costs and impairment 
charges. “Normalized net income” is defined as net income before normalized 
elements as described in the 2022 MD&A, such as foreign exchange gain on 
long-term debt and lease liabilities, transaction costs and restructuring costs, 
and adjusted to reflect the tax effect on these elements. The Company refers 
the reader to the “Non-IFRS Measures” and “Selected Consolidated Financial 
Information” sections of the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for 
Fiscal 2022 dated March 24, 2022 (the “2022 MD&A”), which are incorporated 
by reference herein, for definitions and reconciliations of Normalized EBITDA 
and Normalized net income presented by the Company to the most directly 
comparable IFRS measure. The Company’s 2022 MD&A is available under the 
Company’s profiles on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
