LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS
Interest income was $229 thousand in 2017, a decline compared
with $355 thousand in 2016, due to a reduction in the average
balance of our investment portfolio. We continue to be satisfied
with our investment portfolio as a means to maximize the
after-tax yield and ensure the safety of principal on a significant
portion of the Company’s assets. Net income for 2017 was $19.3

Diluted earnings per share were
$0.55 in 2017, a 25.0 percent
increase compared with diluted

income, diluted earnings per
share increased by $0.05 due
The recreational boating industry generated growth again during
2017 as consumer confidence and the general U.S. economy con-
tinued to improve. The wider range of models we have developed
over the past few years continued to appeal to our consumers, led
by continued sales growth in our Robalo offshore sport fishing
boats, our Chaparral value-priced outboard models and our new
Chaparral Surf Series models.
These positive trends were
partially offset by continued
weakness in the overall stern-
drive recreational boat market.
The year 2017 marked Marine
Products Corporation’s eighth
consecutive year of increased
net sales and profitability. Net sales for 2017 were $267.3 million,
an increase of 10.8 percent compared with $241.3 million in
2016. Net sales once again improved due to higher unit sales of
our Robalo sport fishing boats, especially our Robalo Explorer
models and our larger Robalo 246. Also contributing to the sales
increases were improvements in sales of our Chaparral H2O
outboard models and the sales of our new Chaparral Surf Series
models. International sales decreased by 20.2 percent in 2017
compared with 2016. Our international sales have decreased for
several years due to the strength of the U.S. dollar and relative
to a lower average share count resulting from the partial tender
offer completed in 2016. This increase was offset by a net discrete
income tax provision of $1.7 million related to the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act, enacted during the fourth quarter of 2017. The impact
of this additional net discrete income tax provision was to
decrease diluted earnings per share in 2017 by $0.05.
During 2017 Marine Products Corporation used $6.5 million
to repurchase its common stock in the open market. While
this repurchase amount was lower than in 2016, when we
completed our partial tender offer, our repurchases in 2017 were
still high by historical standards. We continue to view open
market share repurchases as an important part of our capital
allocation strategy and an important tool at our disposal to
increase overall shareholder return. Our Board of Directors
continued the Company’s cash dividend, increasing the regular
quarterly dividend for the fifth consecutive year. Including a
year-end special dividend of $0.05 per share, Marine Products
Corporation paid dividends of $0.33 per share in 2017, an
increase of $0.09 per share compared to 2016. During its first
quarterly Board of Directors meeting in 2018, the Board of
Directors increased the quarterly cash dividend by 43 percent
to $0.10 per share. We believe that our effective tax rate in 2018
will be much lower than in prior years due to the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act, which will increase our earnings and cash flow and
allow us more options as we pursue capital allocation strategies
that benefit our shareholders.
During 2017 Marine Products Corporation generated $29.6

22.1 percent of net sales, compared with 20.9 percent of net sales
in 2016. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
to $29.3 million in 2017 from $27.4 million in 2016, primarily due
to costs that vary with sales and profitability. Operating income

as well as diligent working capital management. In addition,
we paid $11.5 million in dividends, an increase of $2.3 million
compared with $9.2 million in 2016. We finished 2017 with $20.7
million in cash and marketable securities, an $8.8 million increase
compared with $11.9 million in cash and marketable securities
at the end of 2016. We believe that this cash and marketable
securities balance continues to provide liquidity to support both
our current operations as well as future growth opportunities. We
did not complete any acquisitions in 2017, but are still receptive to
considering acquisition candidates which manufacture products
that complement our own offerings.
representing an 80 percent decline compared to industry sales in
2005. Chaparral’s sterndrive unit sales were relatively flat in 2017,
due to the success of the Chaparral Surf Series and the appeal
of other popular models such as the Chaparral 287 SSX. We are
proud of our ability to continue to innovate and produce products
that appeal to our customers, but we also recognize that the
secular decline of this magnitude in our largest product segment
is an obstacle. We have addressed this issue, and will continue to
address it, through product innovation and market knowledge.
We believe that these strengths will prove to be catalysts for
continued growth in the coming years.
246 CAYMAN BAY BOAT
As we begin 2018, we are encouraged by favorable macroeconomic
trends as well as a strong winter boat show season, which is a
strong indicator of a good retail selling season. As an indicator
of the appeal of our products, Chaparral’s sterndrive market
share remained the highest in its size category and grew
during 2017. Robalo has the fourth-largest market share in the
offshore sport fishing market, and our Vortex jet boats continue
to command a significant share of their smaller market. The
sterndrive recreational boat market continues to be weak, with
industry unit sales decreasing by 6.7 percent during 2017 and
As always, we appreciate the hard work of our employees, the
support of our dealers, and the continued loyalty of our customers
as we continue to participate in an expanding market.

CHAPARRAL’S OUTSTANDING RECORD OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
257 SSX
We celebrated Chaparral’s 50th anniversary
a few years ago and continue to be proud of
our record of achievement. Our offerings for
the 2018 model year build on our traditions of
quality, good designs, and features that appeal
to a wide variety of boating preferences. These
models were developed by a dedicated team
of designers and are produced by a skilled
team of boat builders. Along with a dedicated
dealer network that believes in putting
customers in the right product and providing
superior service after the sale, everyone
involved with Chaparral continues to create
great experiences for the boaters who choose
our products. This type of performance earned
Chaparral its 11th consecutive NMMA CSI
Award for customer satisfaction in 2017.
One of the reasons for Chaparral’s high levels
of customer satisfaction is the Chaparral 257
SSX, shown on this page. This performance-
minded sport boat combines style and
versatility to reach a destination in comfort
and style. When the 257 SSX arrives at its
destination, the bench seats convert into large
sun loungers with the flip of a switch. This
Chaparral meets the desires of boaters who
want to go somewhere in style without being
constrained by any limitations when they
arrive at their favorite recreational spot.
In our 2016 Annual Report we introduced the
Chaparral Surf Series to our shareholders.
We portrayed it as an innovation on a popular
and time-tested boat platform that we
believed would expand our market. During
2017 the Surf Series contributed to our unit
sales growth and expanded our sterndrive
market share. The most popular boat in this
series during 2017 was the 246 SSi Surf. This
model has many standard features for serious
wakesurfers, while not compromising on price
or performance. An open concept seating
arrangement, large swim platform, and port
side walk-thru transom make this the ideal
boat for watersports. Continuous innovation
that improves quality products continues to
be the driver of our long-term growth and
strong performance.

Item 1. Business
Marine Products manufactures fiberglass motorized boats distributed and marketed through its independent
dealer network. Marine Products’ product offerings include Chaparral sterndrive, outboard and jet pleasure boats
and Robalo outboard sport fishing boats.
Organization and Overview
Marine Products is a Delaware corporation incorporated on August 31, 2000, in connection with a spin-off from
RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) (“RPC”). Effective February 28, 2001, RPC accomplished the spin-off by contributing 100
percent of the issued and outstanding stock of Chaparral to Marine Products, a newly formed wholly owned
subsidiary of RPC, and then distributing the common stock of Marine Products to RPC stockholders.
Marine Products designs, manufactures and sells recreational fiberglass powerboats in the sportboat, deckboat,
cruiser, jet boat and sport fishing markets. The Company sells its products to a network of 161 domestic and 92
international independent authorized dealers. Marine Products’ mission is to enhance its customers’ boating
experience by providing them with high quality, innovative powerboats. The Company intends to remain a leading
manufacturer of recreational powerboats for sale to a broad range of consumers worldwide.
The Company manufactures Chaparral sterndrive pleasure boats including H2O Sport and Fish & Ski boats, SSi
and SSX Sportboats, Sunesta Sportdecks, and Signature Cruisers, as well as SunCoast Sportdeck outboards, Vortex
jet boats and the Surf Series, a line of Chaparral models first introduced for the 2017 model year. The most recent
available industry statistics [source: Statistical Surveys, Inc. report dated September 30, 2017] indicate that
Chaparral is the largest manufacturer of sterndrive boats in lengths from 18 to 33 feet in the United States.
Chaparral was founded in 1965 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Chaparral’s first boat was a 15-foot tri-hull design
with a retail price of less than $1,000. Over time Chaparral grew by offering exceptional quality and consumer
value. In 1976, Chaparral moved to Nashville, Georgia, where a manufacturing facility of a former boat
manufacturing company was available for purchase. This provided Chaparral an opportunity to obtain additional
manufacturing space and access to a trained workforce. With 53 years of boatbuilding experience, Chaparral
continues to expand the range of its offerings through insightful product design and quality manufacturing processes
in order to reach an increasingly discerning recreational boating market.
The Company also manufactures Robalo outboard fishing boats. Robalo was founded in 1969 and its first boat
was a 19-foot center console salt-water fishing boat, among the first of this type of boat to have an “unsinkable”
hull. The Company believes that Robalo is the fourth largest manufacturer of outboard boats in lengths from 16 to
30 feet in the United States.

Manufacturing
Marine Products’ manufacturing facilities are located in Nashville, Georgia. Marine Products utilizes five
different plants to, among other things, manufacture interiors, design new models, create fiberglass hulls and decks,
and assemble various end products. Quality control is conducted throughout the manufacturing process. When fully
assembled and inspected, the boats are loaded onto either Company-owned trailers or third-party marine transport
trailers for delivery to dealers. The manufacturing process begins with the design of a product to meet dealer and
customer needs. Plugs are constructed in the research and development phase from designs. Plugs are used to create
a mold from which prototype boats can be built. Adjustments are made to the plug design until acceptable
parameters are met. The final plug is used to create the necessary number of production molds. Molds are used to
produce the fiberglass hulls and decks. Fiberglass components are made by applying the outside finish or gel coat to
the mold, then numerous layers of fiberglass and resin are applied during the lamination process over the gel coat.
After curing, the hull and deck are removed from the molds and are trimmed and prepared for final assembly, which
includes the installation of electrical and plumbing systems, engines, upholstery, accessories and graphics.
Product Warranty
For our Chaparral and Robalo products, Marine Products provides a lifetime limited structural hull warranty, a
five-year limited structural deck warranty, and a transferable one-year limited warranty to the original owner.
Warranties for additional items are provided for periods of one to five years and are not transferrable. Additionally,
as it relates to the first subsequent owner, a five-year transferrable hull warranty and the remainder of the original
one-year limited warranty on certain components are available. The five-year transferable hull warranty terminates
five years after the date of the original retail purchase. Claim costs related to components are generally absorbed by
the original component manufacturer.
The manufacturers of the engines, generators, and navigation electronics included on our boats provide and
administer their own warranties for various lengths of time.
11
Suppliers
Marine Products’ three most significant cost components used in manufacturing its boats, are engines, resins
and fiberglass. For each of these, there is currently an adequate supply available in the market. Marine Products has
not experienced any significant shortages in any of these products. Temporary shortages, when they do occur,
usually involve manufacturers of these products adjusting model mixes, introducing new product lines or limiting
production in response to an industry-wide reduction in boat demand. Marine Products obtains most of its fiberglass
from a leading supplier. Marine Products believes that there are several alternative suppliers if this supplier fails to
provide adequate quality or quantities at acceptable prices.
Marine Products does not manufacture the engines installed in its boats. Engines are generally specified by the
dealers at the time of ordering, usually on the basis of anticipated customer preferences or actual customer orders.
Sterndrive engines are purchased through the American Boatbuilders Association (“ABA”), which has entered into
engine supply arrangements with Mercury Marine and Volvo Penta, the two currently existing suppliers of
sterndrive engines. These arrangements contain incentives and discount provisions, which may reduce the cost of the
engines purchased, if specified purchase volumes are met during specified periods of time. Although no minimum
purchases are required, Marine Products expects to continue purchasing sterndrive engines through the ABA on a
voluntary basis in order to receive volume-based purchase discounts. Marine Products does not have a long-term
supply contract with the ABA. Marine Products has an outboard engine supply contract with Yamaha and a jet
engine supply contract with BRP US Inc. These engine supply arrangements were not negotiated through the ABA.
In the event of a sudden and extended interruption in the supply of engines from any of these suppliers, our sales and
profitability could be negatively impacted. See “Risk Factors” below.
Marine Products uses other raw materials in its manufacturing processes. Among these are resins made from
hydrocarbon feedstocks, copper and steel. The costs of these commodities have fluctuated significantly over the past
several years in response to changes in global economic conditions. During the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first
quarter of 2018 the costs of several of these materials have begun to increase. See “Inflation” below.
Sales and Distribution
Domestic sales are generated through our independent dealer network of approximately 48 Chaparral dealers,
36 Robalo dealers and 77 dealers that sell both brands located in markets throughout the United States. Marine
Products also has 92 international dealers. During 2017 the financial strength of our dealer network continued to
improve primarily due to better retail sales volumes and increased availability of floorplan financing. Most of our
dealers also inventory and sell boat brands manufactured by other companies, including some that compete directly
with our brands. The territories served by any dealer are not exclusive to the dealer; however, Marine Products uses
discretion in establishing relationships with new dealers in an effort to protect the mutual interests of the existing
dealers and the Company. Marine Products’ six independent field sales representatives call upon existing dealers
and develop new dealer relationships. The field sales representatives are directed by a National Sales Coordinator,
who is responsible for developing the dealer distribution network for the Company’s products. The marketing of
boats to retail customers is primarily the responsibility of the dealer. Marine Products supports dealer marketing
efforts by supplementing local advertising, sales and marketing follow up in boating magazines, and participation in
selected regional, national, and international boat show exhibitions. No single dealer accounted for more than 10
percent of net sales during 2017, 2016 or 2015.
Marine Products continues to seek new dealers in many areas throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, South
America, Asia, Russia and the Middle East. In general, Marine Products requires full payment prior to shipping a
boat overseas. Consequently, there is no credit risk associated with these international sales or risk related to foreign
currency fluctuation. The Company’s international sales are affected by trends in consumer discretionary spending
and the value of the U.S. dollar on global currency markets, among other things. The volume of sales to international
dealers as a percentage of total net sales decreased in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to the strength of the
U.S. dollar. International net sales as a percentage of total net sales were 6.3 percent in 2017, 8.8 percent in 2016,
and 10.8 percent in 2015.
Marine Products’ sales orders are indicators of strong interest from its dealers. Historically, dealers have in most
cases taken delivery of all their orders. The Company attempts to ensure that its dealers do not accept an excessive
amount of inventory by monitoring their inventory levels. Knowledge of inventory levels at the individual dealers
facilitates production scheduling with shorter lead times in order to maintain flexibility in the event that adjustments
12
need to be made to dealer shipments. In the past, Marine Products has been able to resell any boat for which an order
has been cancelled.
Approximately 74 percent of Marine Products’ domestic shipments are made pursuant to “floor plan financing”
programs in which Marine Products’ subsidiaries participate on behalf of their dealers with major third-party
financing institutions. The remaining dealers finance their boat inventory with smaller regional financial institutions
in local markets or pay cash. Under these established arrangements with qualified lending institutions, a dealer
establishes a line of credit with one or more of these lenders for the purchase of boat inventory for sales to retail
customers in their showroom or during boat show exhibitions. In general, when a dealer purchases and takes
delivery of a boat pursuant to a floor plan financing arrangement, it draws against its line of credit and the lender
pays the invoice cost of the boat directly to Marine Products generally within ten business days. When the dealer in
turn sells the boat to a retail customer, the dealer repays the lender, thereby restoring its available credit line. Each
dealer’s floor plan credit facilities are secured by the dealer’s inventory, letters of credit, and perhaps other personal
and real property. Until recently, most dealers maintained financing arrangements with more than one lender,
although that is less common at the present time, given that there are fewer lenders. In connection with a dealer’s
floor plan financing arrangements with a qualified lending institution, Marine Products or its subsidiaries have
agreed to repurchase inventory which the lender repossesses from a dealer and returns to Marine Products in a “new
and unused” condition subject to normal wear and tear, as defined. The contractual agreements that Marine Products
or its subsidiaries have with these qualified lenders contain the Company’s assumption of specified percentages of
the debt obligation on repossessed boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits negotiated with the
lender.
The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase
amount is limited to a maximum of 16 percent of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for
dealers during the prior 12 month period, which was $12.2 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company has
contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of
approximately $6.6 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year. Accordingly, the
aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions was approximately $18.8 million as of December 31,
2017. In the event that a dealer defaults on a credit line, the qualified lender may then invoke the manufacturers’
repurchase obligation with respect to that dealer. In that event, all repurchase agreements of all manufacturers
supplying a defaulting dealer are generally invoked regardless of the boat or boats with respect to which the dealer
has defaulted. Unlike Marine Products’ obligation to repurchase boats repossessed by qualified lenders, Marine
Products is under no obligation to repurchase boats directly from dealers. Marine Products does not sponsor
financing programs to the retail consumer; any consumer financing promotions for a prospective boat purchaser
would be the responsibility of the dealer.
Marine Products’ dealer sales incentive programs are generally designed to promote early replenishment of the
stock in dealer inventories depleted throughout the prime spring and summer selling seasons, and to promote the
sales of older models in dealer inventory and particular models during specified periods. These programs help to
stabilize Marine Products’ manufacturing between the peak and off-peak periods, and promote sales of certain
models. For the 2018 model year (which commenced July 1, 2017), Marine Products offered its dealers several sales
incentive programs based on dollar volumes and timing of dealer purchases. Program incentives offered include
sales discounts, retail sales incentives and payment of floor plan financing interest charged by qualified floor plan
lenders to dealers generally through April 30, 2018. After the interest payment programs end, interest costs revert to
the dealer at rates set by the lender. A dealer makes periodic curtailment payments (principal payments) on
outstanding obligations against its dealer inventory as set forth in the floor plan financing agreements between the
dealer and its particular lender.
We believe that dealer inventories of our boat models as of December 31, 2017 are appropriate relative to the
current level of retail customer demand; approximately 57 percent of dealer inventories were current model year
units at December 31, 2017 compared to 60 percent at December 31, 2016. The sales order backlog as of December
31, 2017 was approximately 1,722 boats with estimated net sales of approximately $72.9 million. This represents an
approximate 14.4 week backlog based on recent production levels. As of December 31, 2016, the sales order
backlog was approximately 1,585 boats with estimated net sales of $60.7 million, representing an approximate 13.1
week backlog. The Company will continue to monitor the number of boats in dealer inventories and adjust its
production levels as it deems necessary to manage dealer inventory levels. The Company typically does not
manufacture a significant number of boats for its own inventory. The Company occasionally manufactures boats for
13
its own inventory because the number of boats required for immediate shipment is not always the most efficient
number of boats to produce in a given production schedule.
Research and Development
Essentially the same technologies and processes are used to produce fiberglass boats by all boat manufacturers.
The most common method to build fiberglass boats is with open-face molding. This is usually a labor-intensive,
manual process whereby employees hand spray and apply fiberglass and resin in layers on open molds to create boat
hulls, decks and other smaller fiberglass components. A single open-face mold is typically capable of producing
approximately three hulls per week.
Marine Products has been a leading innovator in the recreational boating industry. One of the Company’s most
innovative designs is the full-length “Extended V-Plane” running surface on its Chaparral boat models. Typically,
sterndrive boats have a several foot gap on the bottom rear of the hull where the engine enters the water. With the
Extended V-Plane, the running surface extends the full length to the rear of the boat. The benefit of this innovation
is more deck space, better planing performance and a more comfortable ride. Although the basic hull designs are
similar, the Company has historically introduced a variety of new models each year and periodically replaces,
updates or discontinues existing models.
Another hull design is the Hydro LiftTM used on the Robalo boat models. This variable dead rise hull design
provides a smooth ride in rough water conditions. It increases the maximum speed obtainable by a given engine
horsepower and weight of the boat. Robalo’s current models utilize the Hydro LiftTM design and we plan to continue
to provide this design on Robalo models.
A bow design known as the Wide TechTM was first used on the Chaparral Sunesta Wide TechTM and Xtreme
models for the 2008 model year, and is currently being used on Chaparral’s SSi Wide TechTM Sportboats, Sunesta
Sportdecks, and two Signature Cruisers. The Wide TechTM bow design allows the models to have the Extended V-
Plane hull, with the features and benefits that this hull design offers. In addition, the Wide TechTM bow design
provides a larger seating area, as well as additional storage space, in the front of the boat. Furthermore, it allows the
models to have a non-skid walkway on the bow, which makes entering and leaving the boat easier than in other boat
models. This bow design may be incorporated on other Chaparral boat models in subsequent model years.
In support of its new product development efforts, Marine Products incurred research and development costs of
$960 thousand in 2017, $858 thousand in 2016, and $663 thousand in 2015.
Industry Overview
The recreational marine market in the United States is a mature market, with 2016 (latest data available to us)
retail expenditures of approximately $36 billion spent on new and used boats, motors and engines, trailers,
accessories and other associated costs as estimated by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (“NMMA”).
Pleasure boats compete with all other leisure activities for consumers’ limited free time.
There are currently approximately 16 million boats owned in the United States, including outboard, inboard,
sterndrive, jet drive, sailboats and personal watercraft. Marine Products competes in the sterndrive boating category
with five lines of Chaparral boats, in the jet drive category with its Chaparral Vortex jet boats and in the outboard
category with its Robalo sport fishing boats, Chaparral SunCoast deck boats and a new Chaparral H2O outboard
model. Approximately 39 percent of the Company’s unit sales in 2017 were sterndrive boats compared to 42 percent
in 2016.
Industry sales of new sterndrive boats in the United States during 2017 totaled 10,847 (source: Info-Link
Technologies, Inc.) and accounted for approximately 15 percent of the total new fiberglass powerboats sold between
18 and 33 feet in hull length. Sales of sterndrive boats had an estimated total retail value of $869 million, or an
average retail price per boat of approximately $80,000. Management believes that the five largest states for boat
sales at the present time are Florida, Minnesota, Michigan, California and Wisconsin. Marine Products has dealers in
each of these states.
14
The U.S. domestic recreational boating industry includes sales in the segments of new and used boats, motors
and engines, trailers, and other boat accessories. The new fiberglass boat market segment with hull lengths of 18 to
33 feet, the primary market segment in which Marine Products competes, represented $4.5 billion in retail sales
during 2017. The table below reflects the estimated annual sales within this segment by category for 2017 and 2016

Chaparral’s products are categorized as sterndrive boats, jet boats and outboard boats and Robalo’s products are
categorized as outboard boats. Although industry-wide sterndrive boat unit sales have been declining, the rate of
decline in recent years has slowed. The Company introduced its first three jet boat models in 2014 and has been
pleased with their reception by dealers and customers. Based on available market share data, Chaparral’s share of
the jet boat market during the latest reported period ended September 30, 2017 was approximately 13.1 percent.
The recreational boat manufacturing market remains highly fragmented with the exception of Brunswick
Corporation, which has acquired and currently operates a number of recreational boat brands. We estimate that the
boat manufacturing industry includes fewer than 20 sterndrive manufacturers and fewer than 75 outboard boat
manufacturers with significant unit production, with the majority representing small, privately held companies with
varying degrees of professional management and manufacturing skill. According to estimates provided by Statistical
Surveys, Inc., during the latest reported period ended September 30, 2017 (latest information available), the top five
sterndrive manufacturers, which includes Chaparral, have a combined market share of approximately 59 percent;
compared to 57 percent in the same period one year ago. Chaparral’s market share in sterndrive units during this
period was approximately 16.7 percent, which represents an increase of approximately 2.0 percentage points
compared to 14.7 percent during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company believes that this
increase in market share is primarily due to the success of our value priced Chaparral H20 models, our larger SSX
models and the new Surf Series.
Several factors influence sales trends in the recreational boating industry, including general economic growth,
consumer confidence, household incomes, the availability and cost of financing for our dealers and customers,
weather, fuel prices, tax laws, demographics and consumers’ leisure time. Also, the value of residential and vacation
real estate in coastal and recreational areas influences recreational boat sales. The most recent NMMA surveys
indicate that many past boating participants do not currently participate in boating because of high costs and a lack
of leisure time. The increases in the cost of certain components, operating costs, and the impact of environmental
regulation have increased the cost of boats and boat ownership in recent years, and these trends may continue.
Competition from other leisure and recreational activities for available leisure time can also affect sales of
recreational boats.
Management believes Marine Products is well positioned to take advantage of the following conditions, which
continue to characterize the industry:
labor-intensive manufacturing processes that remain largely unautomated;
increasingly strict environmental standards derived from governmental regulations and customer
sensitivities;
a lack of focus on coordinated customer service and support by dealers and manufacturers;
a lack of financial strength among retail boat dealers and many manufacturers; and
a high degree of fragmentation and competition among the large number of sterndrive and outboard
recreational boat manufacturers.
15
Business Strategies
Recreational boating is a mature industry. According to Info-Link Technologies, Inc., sales of new boats of all
types increased at a compounded annual rate of approximately 7.9 percent between 2013 and 2017. During this
period, Marine Products experienced a compounded annual growth rate of approximately 10.4 percent in the number
of boats sold. The Company has historically grown its boat sales and net sales primarily through increasing market
share and by expanding its number of models and product lines. During 2017 the Company’s strategy was to support
our dealers’ need to maintain a higher level of inventories than in previous years, given relatively stable retail
demand and an improved dealer financing environment. At the end of 2017, the Company’s dealer inventories were
approximately 8.2 percent higher than they were at the end of 2016, and our unit order backlog remained strong. We
believe that higher inventories and the current unit order backlog are appropriate relative to expected retail demand
during the 2018 retail selling season. Chaparral has grown its sterndrive market share in the 18 to 33 feet length
category from 5.9 percent in fiscal 1996 to 16.7 percent during the latest reported period ended September 30, 2017
(the most recent information available to us from Statistical Surveys, Inc.).
During 2017, we continued to emphasize the value-priced Chaparral and Robalo models, as well as the Surf
Series, and new larger SSX models. In addition, we are experiencing a favorable consumer reception to our
Chaparral H2O outboard boats. We believe that these boat models will expand our customer base, and leverage our
strong dealer network and reputation for quality and styling. These models were partially responsible for increases in
our net sales, gross profit, operating profit, and net income.
These models align with Marine Products’ overall operating strategy, which emphasizes innovative designs and
manufacturing processes, and the production of a high quality product, while also seeking to lower manufacturing
costs through increased efficiencies in our facilities. In the current environment, this strategy also includes the
production of lower-priced, entry level models which appeal to a value-conscious consumer who wants an updated,
high quality product. In addition, we seek opportunities to leverage our buying power through economies of scale.
Management believes its membership in the ABA positions Marine Products as a significant third-party customer of
major suppliers of sterndrive engines. Marine Products’ Chaparral subsidiary is a founding member of the ABA,
which collectively represents 14 independent boat manufacturers that have formed a buying group to pool their
purchasing power in order to achieve improved pricing on engines, fiberglass, resin and many other components.
Marine Products intends to continue seeking the most advantageous purchasing arrangements from its suppliers.
Our marketing strategy seeks to increase market share by enabling Marine Products to expand its presence by
building dedicated sales, marketing and distribution systems. Marine Products has a distribution network of 253
independent dealers located throughout the United States and in several international markets. Our strategy is to
increase selectively the quantity of our dealers, and to improve the quality and effectiveness of our entire dealer
network. Marine Products seeks to capitalize on its strong dealer network by educating its dealers on the sales and
servicing of our products and helping them provide more comprehensive customer service, with the goal of
increasing customer satisfaction, customer retention and future sales. Marine Products provides promotional and
incentive programs to help its dealers increase product sales and customer satisfaction. During 2017 we continued to
expand our nationally advertised fixed retail pricing to include more of our models. We believe the nationally
advertised fixed retail pricing gives the consumer confidence that that they are getting the best possible price
resulting in higher customer satisfaction, and also encourages consistent pricing across our dealer network.
A component of Marine Products’ overall strategy is to consider making strategic acquisitions in order to
complement existing product lines, expand its geographic presence in the marketplace and strengthen its capabilities
depending upon availability, price and complementary product lines. We constantly review potential acquisition
targets and intend to continue doing so in the future.
Competition
The recreational boat industry is highly fragmented, resulting in intense competition for customers, dealers and
boat show exhibition space. There is significant competition both within markets we currently serve and in new
markets that we may enter. Marine Products’ brands compete with several large national or regional manufacturers
that have substantial financial, marketing and other resources. However, we believe that our corporate infrastructure
and marketing and sales capabilities, in addition to our financial strength, and our nationwide presence, enable us to
compete effectively against these companies. In each of our markets, Marine Products competes on the basis of
responsiveness to customer needs, the quality and range of models offered, and the competitive pricing of those
16
models. Additionally, Marine Products faces general competition from all other recreational businesses seeking to
attract consumers’ leisure time and discretionary spending dollars.
According to Statistical Surveys, Inc., the following is a list of the top ten (largest to smallest) sterndrive boat
manufacturers in the United States based on unit sales in 2017. According to Statistical Surveys, Inc., the companies
set forth below represent approximately 86 percent of all United States retail sterndrive boat registrations with hull
lengths of 18 to 33 feet for the 12 month period ended September 30, 2017.
1. Chaparral
2. Cobalt*
3. Sea Ray**
4. Regal
5. Bayliner**
6. Crownline
7. Four Winns***
8. Monterey
9. Tahoe
10. Glastron ***
The outboard engine powered market encompasses a wide variety of boats, accounting for approximately 67.6
percent of traditional powerboat unit sales during 2017. Robalo was the fourth largest manufacturer of outboard
boats in lengths from 16 to 30 feet during the 12 month period ended September 30, 2017 and its share of the market
during this period was approximately five percent. Primary competitors for Robalo during 2017 included Carolina
Skiff, Sea Hunt Boats, Key West, Nautic Star, Mako, Boston Whaler**, Bayliner, Sportsman and Hurricane.
The jet engine powered market accounted for approximately 3.9 percent of traditional powerboat unit sales
during 2017. Chaparral was the second largest jet boat manufacturer in the 20 to 24 foot range during the 12 month
period ended September 30, 2017, and its share of the market during this period was approximately 13.1 percent.
The largest manufacturer of jet boats in the 20 to 24 foot range was Yamaha. Other competitors include Scarab and
Glastron.

Environmental and Regulatory Matters
Certain materials used in boat manufacturing, including the resins used to make the decks and hulls, are toxic,
flammable, corrosive, or reactive and are classified by the federal and state governments as “hazardous materials.”
Control of these substances is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and state pollution
control agencies, which require reports and inspect facilities to monitor compliance with their regulations. The
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) standards limit the amount of emissions to which an
employee may be exposed without the need for respiratory protection or upgraded plant ventilation. Marine
Products’ manufacturing facilities are regularly inspected by OSHA and by state and local inspection agencies and
departments. Marine Products believes that its facilities comply in all material aspects with these regulations.
Although capital expenditures related to compliance with environmental laws are expected to increase during the
coming years, we do not currently anticipate that any material expenditure will be required to continue to comply
with existing environmental or safety regulations in connection with our existing manufacturing facilities.
Recreational powerboats sold in the United States must be manufactured to meet the standards of certification
required by the United States Coast Guard. In addition, boats manufactured for sale in the European Community
must be certified to meet the European Community’s imported manufactured products standards. These
certifications specify standards for the design and construction of powerboats. All boats sold by Marine Products
meet these standards. In addition, safety of recreational boats is subject to federal regulation under the Boat Safety
Act of 1971. The Boat Safety Act requires boat manufacturers to recall products for replacement of parts or
components that have demonstrated defects affecting safety. Marine Products has from time to time instituted recalls
for defective component parts produced by other manufacturers. None of the recalls has had a material adverse
effect on Marine Products.
17
The EPA has adopted regulations stipulating that many marine propulsion engines meet an air emission
standard that requires fitting a catalytic converter to the engine. These regulations also require, among other things,
that the engine manufacturer provide a warranty that the engine meets EPA emission standards. The engines used in
Marine Products’ Chaparral and Robalo product lines are subject to these regulations. These regulations are similar
to regulations adopted by the California Air Resources Board in 2007, but apply to all U.S. states and territories.
This regulation has increased the cost to manufacture the majority of the Company’s boat products. The additional
cost of complying with these EPA regulations may reduce Marine Products’ profitability, because the Company may
have to absorb the increased cost. It may also reduce Marine Products’ net sales, because the increased cost of
owning a boat may force consumers to buy a smaller or less expensive boat or forego a boat purchase, and because
increased product cost will reduce the amount of inventory that Marine Products’ dealers can carry, thus reducing
retail consumers’ choices.
Employees
As of December 31, 2017, Marine Products had approximately 891 employees (an increase from approximately
823 at December 31, 2016), of whom four were management, 50 were administrative and six were sales.
None of Marine Products’ employees are party to a collective bargaining agreement. Marine Products’ entire
workforce is currently employed in the United States and Marine Products believes that its relations with its
employees are good.
Proprietary Matters
Marine Products owns a number of trademarks, trade names and patents that it believes are important to its
business. Except for the Chaparral and Robalo trademarks, however, Marine Products is not dependent upon any
single trademark or trade name or group of trademarks or trade names. The Chaparral and Robalo trademarks are
currently registered in the United States. The current duration for such registration ranges from seven to 15 years but
each registration may be renewed an unlimited number of times.
Several of Chaparral’s and Robalo’s designs are protected under the U.S. Copyright Office’s Vessel Hull
Design Protection Act. This law grants an owner of an original vessel hull design certain exclusive rights. Protection
is offered for hull designs that are made available to the public for purchase provided that the application is made
within two years. As of December 31, 2017, there were 22 Chaparral hull designs and four Robalo hull designs
registered under the Vessel Hull Design Protection Act.
During 2008 Chaparral was granted a design patent on its Wide TechTM hull design by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. The patent has a term of 14 years and protects the Wide TechTM hull currently used on the
Sunesta Wide TechTM and Xtreme, SSi Wide TechTM and two of its Signature Cruisers from being used by other
pleasure boat manufacturers. Marine Products believes that this patent is important to its business.
Seasonality
Marine Products’ quarterly operating results are affected by weather and general economic conditions.
Quarterly operating results for the second quarter have historically recorded the highest sales volume for the year
because this corresponds with the highest retail sales volume period. The results for any quarter are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected in any future period.
Inflation
The market prices of certain materials used in manufacturing the Company’s products, especially resins that are
made with hydrocarbon feedstocks, copper and steel, have at certain periods been volatile. During 2017, the costs of
several of these raw materials have increased slightly. In addition, the cost of certain components used in the
manufacturing of the Company’s products has increased due to high demand and limited supplier capacity. As a
result, it is possible the Company will incur higher materials purchase costs in 2018. These higher prices of
materials would increase the costs of manufacturing the Company’s products, and could negatively affect our profit
margins, due to the competitive nature of the selling environment for recreational boats. Furthermore, the costs of
these raw materials remain volatile, and may decrease in the future.
New boat buyers typically finance their purchases. Higher inflation typically results in higher interest rates that
could translate into an increased cost of boat ownership. During the first quarter of 2018, there were indications that
18
inflation in the general economy was beginning to increase, and general market interest rates have increased as well.
If these trends continue during 2018, prospective buyers may choose to forego or delay their purchases or buy a less
expensive boat in the event that interest rates rise or credit is not available to finance their boat purchases.
Availability of Filings
Marine Products makes available free of charge on its website, www.marineproductscorp.com, the annual
report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those
reports on the same day as they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Economic Conditions, Availability of Credit and Consumer Confidence Levels Affect Marine Products’ Sales
Because Marine Products’ Products are Purchased with Discretionary Income
During an economic recession or when an economic recession is perceived as a threat, Marine Products will be
adversely affected as consumers have less discretionary income or are more apt to save their discretionary income
rather than spend it. During times of global political or economic uncertainty, Marine Products will be negatively
affected to the extent consumers forego or delay large discretionary purchases pending the resolution of those
uncertainties. Historical volatility in the prices and financial returns of investments and residential real estate may
force consumers to delay retirement, or to choose more modest lifestyles when they do retire. In such a case,
consumers may not purchase boats, may purchase boats later in their lives, or may purchase smaller or less
expensive boats. Tight lending and credit standards, which until recently have been in use by lenders in the United
States, can make loans for boats harder to secure, and such loans may carry unfavorable terms, which may force
consumers to forego boat purchases. These factors have also resulted in the past, and may continue to result in the
future, in a reduction in the quality and number of dealers upon which Marine Products relies to sell its products.
Marine Products Relies upon Third-Party Dealer Floor Plan Lenders Which Provide Financing to its Network of
Independent Dealers
Marine Products sells its products to a network of independent dealers, most of whom rely on one or more third-
party dealer floor plan lenders to provide financing for their inventory prior to its sale to retail customers. In general,
this source of financing is vital to Marine Products’ ability to sell products to its dealer network. While dealer floor
plan credit is currently available for many of our dealers during the 2018 model year, the Company’s sales and
profitability could be adversely affected in the event of a decline in floor plan financing availability, or if financing
terms change unfavorably.
Interest Rates and Fuel Prices Affect Marine Products’ Sales
The Company’s products are often financed by our dealers and the retail boat consumers. Higher interest rates
increase the borrowing costs and, accordingly, the cost of doing business for dealers and the cost of boat purchases
for consumers. Fuel costs can represent a large portion of the costs to operate our products. Therefore, higher
interest rates and fuel costs can adversely affect consumers’ decisions relating to recreational boating purchases.
Marine Products’ Dependence on its Network of Independent Boat Dealers may Affect its Operating Results and
Sales
Virtually all of Marine Products’ sales are derived from its network of independent boat dealers. Marine
Products has no long-term agreements with these dealers. Competition for dealers among recreational powerboat
manufacturers continues to increase based on the quality of available products, the price and value of the products,
and attention to customer service. The Company faces intense competition from other recreational powerboat
manufacturers in attracting and retaining independent boat dealers. The number of independent boat dealers
supporting the Chaparral and Robalo trade names and the quality of their marketing and servicing efforts are
essential to Marine Products’ ability to generate sales. A deterioration in the number of Marine Products’ network of
independent boat dealers could have a material adverse effect on its boat sales. Marine Products’ inability to attract
new dealers and retain those dealers, or its inability to increase sales with existing dealers, could substantially impair
its ability to execute its business plans. Although Marine Products’ management believes that the quality of its
products and services in the recreational boating market should permit it to maintain its relationship with its dealers
and its market position, there can be no assurance that Marine Products will be able to sustain its current sales levels.
19
Marine Products’ Financial Condition and Operating Results may be Adversely Affected by Boat Dealer Defaults
The Company’s products are sold through independent dealers and the financial health of these dealers is
critical to the Company’s continued success. The Company’s results can be negatively affected if a dealer defaults
because Marine Products or its subsidiaries may be contractually required to repurchase inventory up to certain
limits, although for business reasons, the Company may decide to purchase additional boats in excess of this
contractual obligation.
Marine Products’ Ability to Adjust its Business Operations to Compensate for Reduced Sales of Boats may be
Restricted in the Future
In 2008 Marine Products idled certain production facilities and reduced its number of employees to offset the
impact that reduced net sales had on the Company’s operating results and cash flows. As a result, the Company
experienced lower rates of absorption of its fixed costs. The Company’s sales improved in 2016 and 2017, thus
increasing the rate of absorption of its fixed costs and improving operating and net income.
Marine Products’ Sales are Affected by Weather Conditions
Marine Products’ business is subject to weather patterns that may adversely affect its sales. For example,
drought conditions, or merely reduced rainfall levels, or excessive rain, may close area boating locations or render
boating dangerous or inconvenient, thereby curtailing customer demand for our products. In addition, unseasonably
cool weather and prolonged winter conditions may lead to a shorter selling season in some locations. Hurricanes and
other storms could cause disruptions of our operations or damage to our boat inventories and manufacturing
facilities.
Marine Products Encounters Intense Competition Which Affects our Sales and Profits
The recreational boat industry is highly fragmented, resulting in intense competition for customers, dealers and
boat show exhibition space. This competition affects both the markets which we currently serve and new markets
that we may enter in the future. We compete with several large national or regional manufacturers that have
substantial financial, marketing and other resources.
Marine Products has Potential Liability for Personal Injury and Property Damage Claims
The products we sell or service may expose Marine Products to potential liabilities for personal injury or
property damage claims relating to the use of those products. Historically, the resolution of product liability claims
has not materially affected Marine Products’ business. Marine Products maintains product liability insurance that it
believes to be adequate. However, there can be no assurance that Marine Products will not experience legal claims
in excess of its insurance coverage or that claims will be covered by insurance. Furthermore, any significant claims
against Marine Products could result in negative publicity, which could cause Marine Products’ sales to decline.
Because Marine Products Relies on Third-party Suppliers, Marine Products may be Unable to Obtain Adequate
Raw Materials, Engines and Components Which Could Adversely Affect Sales and Profit Margins
Marine Products is dependent on third-party suppliers to provide raw materials, engines and components
essential to the construction of its various powerboats. Especially critical are the availability and cost of marine
engines and commodity raw materials used in the manufacture of Marine Products’ boats. While Marine Products’
management believes that supplier relationships currently in place are sufficient to provide the engines and materials
necessary to meet present production demands, there can be no assurance that these relationships will continue, that
these suppliers will remain in operation or that the quantity or quality of materials available from these suppliers will
be sufficient to meet Marine Products’ future needs. Disruptions in current supplier relationships or the inability of
Marine Products to continue to purchase construction materials in sufficient quantities and of sufficient quality at
acceptable prices to meet ongoing production schedules could cause a decrease in sales or a sharp increase in the
cost of goods sold. Additionally, because of this dependence, the volatility in commodity raw materials or current or
future price increases in production materials or the inability of Marine Products’ management to purchase engines
and materials required to execute its growth and acquisition strategies could reduce the number of boats Marine
Products may be able to produce for sale or cause a reduction in Marine Products’ profit margins.
20
Marine Products may be Unable to Identify, Complete or Successfully Integrate Acquisitions
Marine Products intends to pursue acquisitions and form strategic alliances that will enable Marine Products to
acquire complementary skills and capabilities, offer new products, expand its customer base, and obtain other
competitive advantages. There can be no assurance, however, that Marine Products will be able to successfully
identify suitable acquisition candidates or strategic partners, obtain financing on satisfactory terms, complete
acquisitions or strategic alliances, integrate acquired operations into its existing operations, or expand into new
markets. Once integrated, acquired operations may not achieve anticipated levels of sales or profitability, or
otherwise perform as expected. Acquisitions also involve special risks, including risks associated with unanticipated
problems, liabilities and contingencies, diversion of management resources, and possible adverse effects on earnings
and earnings per share resulting from increased interest costs, the issuance of additional securities, and difficulties
related to the integration of the acquired business. The failure to integrate acquisitions successfully may divert
management’s attention from Marine Products’ existing operations and may damage Marine Products’ relationships
with its key customers and suppliers.
Marine Products’ Success will Depend on its Key Personnel, and the Loss of any Key Personnel may Affect its
Powerboat Sales
Marine Products’ success will depend to a significant extent on the continued service of key management
personnel. The loss or interruption of the services of any senior management personnel or the inability to attract and
retain other qualified management, sales, marketing and technical employees could disrupt Marine Products’
operations and cause a decrease in its sales and profit margins.
Marine Products’ Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Employees is Crucial to its Results of Operations and
Future Growth
Marine Products relies on the existence of an available hourly workforce to manufacture its products. As with
many businesses, we are challenged at times to find qualified employees. There are no assurances that Marine
Products will be able to attract and retain qualified employees to meet current and/or future growth needs.
If Marine Products is Unable to Comply with Environmental and Other Regulatory Requirements, its Business may
be Exposed to Liability and Fines
Marine Products’ operations are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and licensing under various federal,
state and local statutes, ordinances and regulations. While Marine Products believes that it maintains all requisite
licenses and permits and is in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations, there can be no
assurance that Marine Products will be able to continue to maintain all requisite licenses and permits and comply
with applicable laws and regulations. The failure to satisfy these and other regulatory requirements could cause
Marine Products to incur fines or penalties or could increase the cost of operations. The adoption of additional laws,
rules and regulations could also increase Marine Products’ costs.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has adopted regulations affecting many marine propulsion
engines. This regulation has increased the cost of boats subject to the regulation, which may either reduce the
Company’s profitability or reduce sales.
As with boat construction in general, our manufacturing processes involve the use, handling, storage and
contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Accordingly, we are subject to
regulations regarding these substances, and the misuse or mishandling of such substances could expose Marine
Products to liability or fines.
Additionally, certain states have required or are considering requiring a license in order to operate a recreational
boat. While such licensing requirements are not expected to be unduly restrictive, regulations may discourage
potential first-time buyers, thereby reducing future sales.
Marine Products’ Stock Price has been Volatile
Historically, the market price of common stock of companies engaged in the discretionary consumer products
industry has been highly volatile. Likewise, the market price of our common stock has varied significantly in the
past. In addition, the availability of Marine Products common stock to the investing public is limited to the extent
that shares are not sold by the executive officers, directors and their affiliates, which could negatively impact the
21
trading price of Marine Products’ common stock, increase volatility and affect the ability of minority stockholders to
sell their shares. Future sales by executive officers, directors and their affiliates of all or a substantial portion of their
shares could also negatively affect the trading price of Marine Products’ common stock.
Marine Products’ Management has a Substantial Ownership Interest; Public Stockholders may have no Effective
Voice in Marine Products’ Management
The Company has elected the “Controlled Corporation” exemption under Section 303A of the New York Stock
Exchange (“NYSE”) Listed Company Manual. The Company is a “Controlled Corporation” because a group that
includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, R. Randall Rollins and his brother, Gary W. Rollins, who is also a
director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of fifty percent of the
Company’s voting power. As a “Controlled Corporation,” the Company need not comply with certain NYSE rules
including those requiring a majority of independent directors.
Marine Products’ executive officers, directors and their affiliates hold directly or through indirect beneficial
ownership, in the aggregate, approximately 71 percent of Marine Products’ outstanding shares of common stock. As
a result, these stockholders effectively control the operations of Marine Products, including the election of directors
and approval of significant corporate transactions such as acquisitions. This concentration of ownership could also
have the effect of delaying or preventing a third-party from acquiring control of Marine Products at a premium.
Provisions in Marine Products’ Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may Inhibit a Takeover of Marine Products
Marine Products’ certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other documents contain provisions including
advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and staggered terms of office for the Board of Directors.
These provisions may make a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by Marine
Products’ Board of Directors more difficult or expensive.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
Marine Products’ corporate offices are located in Atlanta, Georgia. These offices are currently shared with RPC

time after giving a 30 day notice.
Chaparral owns and maintains approximately 1,051,000 square feet of space utilized for manufacturing,
research and development, warehouse, sales office and operations in Nashville, Georgia. In addition, the Company
owns 83,000 square feet of manufacturing space in Valdosta, Georgia. The Company also leases 111,000 square feet
of warehouse space in Nashville, Georgia under a lease arrangement expiring in 2018. Marine Products’ total square
footage under roof is allocated as follows: manufacturing — 724,700, research and development — 68,500,
warehousing — 315,700, office and other — 136,100.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Marine Products is involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of its business. Marine
Products does not believe that the ultimate outcome of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on its
liquidity, financial condition or results of operations.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.

Performance Graph
The following graph shows a five-year comparison of the cumulative total stockholder return based on the
performance of the stock of the Company, assuming dividend reinvestment, as compared with both a broad equity
market index and an industry or peer group index. The indices included in the following graph are the Russell 2000
Index (“Russell 2000”) and a peer group which includes companies that are considered peers of the Company (“Peer
Group”). The companies included in the Peer Group have been weighted according to each respective issuer’s stock
market capitalization at the end of each year. The companies in the Peer Group are Brunswick Corporation,
24
MarineMax, Inc. and Malibu Boats, Inc. Malibu Boats, Inc. is included in the Peer Group because it is a pleasure
boat manufacturer with similar products and operations as the Company, as well as a market capitalization that was
similar to the market capitalization of the Company at December 31, 2017. Malibu Boats, Inc. was not previously
included in the Peer Group because its common stock did not trade on a securities exchange until the first quarter of
2014. For comparison purposes, the following graph includes the performance of the Peer Group as well as the peer
group without the inclusion of Malibu Boats, Inc. (the “Former Peer Group”).
The Russell 2000 is used because the Company is a component of the Russell 2000, and because the Russell
2000 is a stock index representing small capitalization U.S. stocks. During 2017, the components of the Russell
2000 had an average market capitalization of $2.4 billion, and a median market capitalization of $861 million.
The graph below assumes the value of $100.00 invested on December 31, 2012.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion is based upon and should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and
“Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” See also “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 8.
Overview
Marine Products, through our wholly owned subsidiaries Chaparral and Robalo, is a leading manufacturer of
recreational fiberglass powerboats. Our sales and profits are generated by selling the products that we manufacture
26
to a network of independent dealers who in turn sell the products to retail consumers. These dealers are located
throughout the continental United States and in several international markets. Dealers either remit payment upon
receipt of the product or finance their inventory through third-party floor plan lenders, who pay Marine Products
generally within ten days of delivery of the products to the dealers.
We manage our Company by focusing on the execution of the following business and financial strategies:
Manufacturing high-quality, stylish, and innovative powerboats for our dealers and retail consumers,
Providing our independent dealer network appropriate incentives, training, and other support to enhance
their success and their customers’ satisfaction, thereby facilitating their continued relationship with us,
Managing our production and dealer order backlog to optimize operating results and reduce risk in the
event of a downturn in sales of our products,
Maintaining a flexible, variable cost structure which can be reduced quickly when deemed appropriate,
Focusing on the competitive nature of the boating business and designing our products and strategies in
order to grow and maintain profitable market share,
Monitoring the recreational boat market for strong complementary product lines which we may enter
through new product development or acquisition,
Extending our brand name recognition to enhance the success of new boat models that complement our
existing offerings,
Improving our sales and profits by increasing the utilization of our manufacturing capacity,
Monitoring the activities and financial condition of our dealers and of the third-party floor plan lenders who
finance our dealers’ inventories,
Maximizing stockholder return by optimizing the balance of cash invested in the Company’s productive
assets, the payment of dividends to stockholders, and the repurchase of the Company’s common stock on
the open market, and
Aligning the interests of our management and stockholders.
In executing these strategies and attempting to optimize our financial returns, management closely monitors
dealer orders and inventories, the production mix of various models, and indications of near term demand such as
consumer confidence, interest rates, dealer orders placed at our annual dealer conferences, and retail attendance and
orders at annual winter boat show exhibitions. We also consider trends related to certain key financial and other
data, including our historical and forecasted financial results, market share, unit sales of our products, average
selling price per boat, and gross profit margins, among others, as indicators of the success of our strategies. Marine
Products’ financial results are affected by consumer confidence — because pleasure boating is a discretionary
expenditure, interest rates — because many retail customers finance the purchase of their boats, and other
socioeconomic and environmental factors such as availability of leisure time, consumer preferences, demographics
and the weather.
During 2017, several segments of the recreational boating industry improved due to stable consumer confidence
and improving residential real estate markets, as well as a stable financing environment for dealers and consumers.
Overall industry retail sales of outboard recreational boats improved during 2017, although sterndrive unit sales
declined. Our net sales improved in 2017 compared to 2016 due to higher unit sales of our Robalo sport fishing
boats, coupled with higher unit sales of our Chaparral H2O models and sales of our Chaparral Surf Series and new
larger SSX models. We achieved higher net sales, as well as increased gross profit and operating profit in 2017
compared to 2016. Management will continue to monitor retail demand among the various segments in the
recreational boat market, dealer inventory levels and the availability of dealer and consumer financing for the
purchase of our products and adjust our production levels as deemed appropriate.
We continuously monitor our market share in the 18 to 33 foot sterndrive category as one indicator of the
success of our strategies and the market’s acceptance of our products. For the 12 month period ended September 30,
27
2017 (latest data available to us), Chaparral’s market share in the 18 to 33 foot sterndrive category was 16.7 percent
compared to 14.7 percent during the same period in 2016; the highest market share in this category. Chaparral’s
market share in the 18 to 20 foot category was 12.6 percent during this period in 2017, and its market share in the 21
to 33 foot category was 18.6 percent. Chaparral’s market share concentrations within these size ranges has remained
relatively consistent during the past several years. For the 12 month period ended September 30, 2017, Robalo’s
share of the 16 to 30 foot outboard sport fishing boat market was 5.3 percent. For the same period, Chaparral’s share
of the 20 to 24 foot jet boat market was approximately 13.1 percent. We will continue to monitor our market share
and believe it to be important, but we believe that maximizing profitability takes precedence over growing our
market share. Furthermore, as we continue to expand the breadth of our product offerings within our core category
and new categories, we consider our overall market share across the various powerboat categories to be of greater
importance to the long-term health of our company than our market share within any specific type of recreational
boat.
Outlook
We believe that recreational boating retail demand in many segments of the industry continue to improve.
Attendance and sales during the 2018 winter boat shows were moderately higher than the 2017 winter boat show
season, residential real estate markets have improved, consumer confidence has stabilized, and fuel prices have
declined. A potential impediment to improving boat sales, however, is the increase in market interest rates. Since
most consumers finance their boat purchases, higher interest rates increase the cost of boat ownership.
Although industry wide retail boat sales remain lower than they were prior to the 2008 financial crisis, retail
boat sales have increased each year since 2011. We believe retail boat sales will continue to improve due to
improving consumer confidence and a growing U.S. economy. Fluctuations in fuel prices can impact our industry,
although they were relatively stable in 2017 and we do not believe that they have recently impacted sales. In general,
the overall cost of boat ownership has increased, especially in the sterndrive recreational boat market segment,
which comprises approximately 39 percent of the Company’s unit sales. The higher cost of boat ownership
discourages consumers from purchasing recreational boats. For a number of years, Marine Products as well as other
boat manufacturers have been improving their customer service capabilities, marketing strategies and sales
promotions in order to attract more consumers to recreational boating as well as improve consumers’ boating
experiences. The Company provides financial incentives to its dealers for receiving favorable customer satisfaction
surveys. In addition, the recreational boating industry conducts a promotional program which involves advertising
and consumer targeting efforts, as well as other activities designed to increase the potential consumer market for
pleasure boats. Many manufacturers, including Marine Products, participate in this program. Management believes
that these efforts have incrementally benefited the industry and Marine Products. As in past years, Marine Products
enhanced its selection of models for the 2018 model year which began on July 1, 2017. We continue to emphasize
the value-priced Chaparral and Robalo models, as well as the Surf Series, a line of Chaparral models first introduced
for the 2017 model year and new larger SSX models. In addition, we are experiencing a favorable consumer
reception to our Chaparral H2O outboard boats. We believe that these boat models will expand our customer base,
and leverage our strong dealer network and reputation for quality and styling. During 2017 we expanded our
nationally advertised fixed retail pricing to include more of our models. We plan to continue to develop and produce
additional new products for subsequent model years. Marine Products expects to benefit from the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act (“Tax Reform”) enacted during the fourth quarter of 2017. Marine Products Corporation estimates that its
annual effective tax rate for 2018 will be in the low 20 percent range. Since Marine Products believes that it will
generate continued positive financial results, the Company believes that it will benefit from this lower tax rate
through increased earnings in 2018.
Our financial results for 2018 will depend on a number of factors, including interest rates, consumer confidence,
the availability of credit to our dealers and consumers, fuel costs, the continued acceptance of our new products in
the recreational boating market, our ability to compete in the competitive pleasure boating industry, and the costs of
labor and certain of our raw materials and key components.

Year Ended December 31, 2017 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2016
Net Sales. Marine Products’ net sales increased by $26.0 million or 10.8 percent in 2017 compared to 2016. The
increase was primarily due to a 5.0 percent increase in the number of boats sold, as well as an increase in parts and
accessories sales, coupled with a 4.7 percent increase in the average gross selling price per boat. Unit sales increased
due to higher sales of our Robalo outboard sport fishing boats, as well as increased unit sales of our Chaparral H20
models and our Chaparral Surf Series models, partially offset by decreases in unit sales of our Vortex Jet boat
models. Average selling prices increased primarily due to a model mix which included increased sales of our larger
boats, including new larger SSX models. Domestic net sales were $250.4 million, an increase of 13.7 percent
compared to the prior year. International sales decreased 20.2 percent during 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due
to the strength of the U.S. dollar.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased 9.1 percent in 2017 compared to 2016. As a percentage of net
sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 77.9 percent in 2017, compared to 79.1 percent in 2016, primarily due to a
model mix which included increased sales of our larger models, coupled with improved manufacturing efficiencies
due to higher production volumes.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6.7
percent in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation consistent with improved
operating results, partially offset by lower warranty expense due to favorable warranty claims experience. Selling,
general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 11.4 percent in 2016 to 10.9 percent in
2017. As a percentage of net sales, warranty expense decreased to 1.3 percent in 2017, compared to 1.7 percent in
2016. This decrease was primarily due to lower estimates for current and future warranty claims.
Interest Income. Interest income declined to $229 thousand in 2017 compared to $355 thousand in 2016. Marine
Products generates interest income primarily from investments in tax-exempt municipal obligations. This decrease
was due to a reduction in the average balance of our marketable securities portfolio primarily as a result of the
liquidation of marketable securities to fund a portion of a Tender Offer for the Company’s common shares
completed in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision increased to $10.7 million compared to $6.7 million in 2016.
The effective tax rate in 2017 was 35.6 percent compared to 28.5 percent in 2016. The effective rate increased
primarily due to the impact of recently enacted Tax Reform in the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company revalued its
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities utilizing the new deferred income tax rate of 22 percent (federal
corporate rate of 21 percent plus a blended state rate net of federal tax benefit) resulting in a detrimental discrete
adjustment of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per share, that was recorded as a component of tax expense. The effective rate
in both periods includes the effect of beneficial permanent differences including tax-exempt interest income and
favorable U.S. manufacturing deductions. The 2016 effective tax rate also included certain beneficial permanent tax
differences generated from the implementation of state tax planning that provided for the increased use of previously
suspended net operating losses.
Year Ended December 31, 2016 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 2015
Net Sales. Marine Products’ net sales increased by $34.3 million or 16.6 percent in 2016 compared to 2015. The
increase was primarily due to a 17.8 percent increase in the number of boats sold, as well as an increase in parts and
29
accessories sales, partially offset by a 3.0 percent decrease in the average gross selling price per boat. Unit sales
increased due to higher sales of our Robalo outboard sport fishing boats, as well as increased unit sales of our
Chaparral H20 models and SunCoast outboards. Average selling prices decreased primarily due to a model mix
which included higher sales of our value priced H2O models. Domestic net sales were $220.1 million, an increase of
19.2 percent compared to the prior year. International sales decreased 5.0 percent during 2016 compared to 2015
primarily due to the strength of the U.S. dollar.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased 16.2 percent in 2016 compared to 2015. As a percentage of
net sales, cost of goods sold increased to 79.1 percent in 2016, compared to 78.8 percent in 2015, primarily due to a
model mix which included increased sales of our smaller models, partially offset by improved manufacturing
efficiencies due to higher production volumes.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 17.9
percent in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to an increase in warranty expense, coupled with costs that vary
with sales, such as sales commissions. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
increased from 11.2 percent in 2015 to 11.4 percent in 2016. As a percentage of net sales, warranty expense
increased to 1.7 percent in 2016, compared to 0.6 percent in 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in
estimates for current and future warranty claims, coupled with net favorable adjustments that were recorded for
estimated warranties in 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses also includes a net gain of approximately
$91 thousand that resulted from tax free gains on life insurance of approximately $751 thousand, partially offset by
accelerated stock compensation amortization of approximately $660 thousand related to shares held by an executive
officer that vested immediately upon his death.
Interest Income. Interest income declined to $355 thousand in 2016 compared to $420 thousand in 2015. Marine
Products generates interest income primarily from investments in tax-exempt municipal obligations. The decrease
was primarily due to net realized losses on the sale of marketable securities of $39 thousand during 2016 compared
to net realized gains of $45 thousand during 2015.
Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision was $6.7 million in 2016 and 2015. The effective tax rate in
2016 was 28.5 percent compared to 31.7 percent in 2015. The effective rate decreased primarily due to certain
beneficial tax differences generated from life insurance proceeds, favorable provision to return adjustments and a
partial release of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance associated with certain of the Company’s state net
operating losses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Flows
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $7.7 million at December 31, 2017, $2.6 million at December
31, 2016 and $8.0 million at December 31, 2015. In addition, the aggregate of short-term and long-term marketable
securities was $13.0 million at December 31, 2017, $9.3 million at December 31, 2016 and $35.0 million at
December 31, 2015. The decline in marketable securities in 2016 was primarily due to the liquidation of a portion of
the portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2016 to fund a Tender Offer for the Company’s common shares.

2017
Cash provided by operating activities increased by $13.8 million in 2017 compared to 2016. This increase was
primarily due to a net favorable change in working capital coupled with an increase in net income.
The major components of the net favorable change in working capital were as follows: an unfavorable change
in accounts receivable of $2.1 million due to the timing of payments; a favorable change of $14.3 million in
inventories primarily due to the timing of engine purchases to obtain purchase discounts; and a $3.0 million
30
favorable change in other long term liabilities primarily due to employee deferrals related to the supplemental
retirement plan.
Cash used for investing activities was $6.5 million in 2017 compared to $22.6 million provided by investing
activities in 2016. The increase in cash used for investing activities in 2017 is primarily due to net purchases of
marketable securities. The $22.6 million cash provided by investing activities in 2016 was primarily due to sales of
marketable securities to fund the Tender Offer during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Cash used for financing activities decreased $25.8 million in 2017 primarily due to a decrease in cash paid for
common stock purchases in the open market, partially offset by an increase in regular cash dividends and a $0.05
special dividend paid in the fourth quarter of 2017. Cash used for financing activities in 2016 includes $34.0 million
related the purchase of 3,500,000 common shares as part of the Tender Offer completed in the fourth quarter of 2016.
2016
Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $0.2 million in 2016 compared to 2015. This decrease was
primarily due to a net unfavorable change in working capital, partially offset by an increase in net income.
The major components of the net unfavorable change in working capital were as follows: a favorable change in
accounts payable of $1.4 million due to the timing of payments; an unfavorable change of $6.0 million in
inventories to support higher production levels in the current year; and a $1.8 million favorable change in other
accrued expenses largely attributable to the timing of payments related to retail incentives and warranty claims.
Cash provided by investing activities was $22.6 million in 2016 compared to $2.5 million used for investing
activities in 2015. The increase in cash used for investing activities is primarily due to increased sales of marketable
securities, primarily used to fund the Tender Offer during the fourth quarter of 2016.
Cash used for financing activities increased $34.1 million in 2016 primarily due to the Tender Offer completed
in the fourth quarter of 2016, partially offset by a decrease in open market share repurchases in 2016 compared to
2015. The Company paid a $0.04 per share special dividend in the fourth quarter of 2015.
Cash Requirements
Management expects that capital expenditures during 2018 will be approximately $2.1 million.
The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan, sponsored by RPC. During 2017,
the Company did not make a cash contribution to this plan in order to achieve the Company’s funding objective. We
expect that additional contributions by the Company to the Retirement Income Plan of approximately $100 thousand
will be made in 2018.
On January 23, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share
payable March 9, 2018 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 9, 2018.
Marine Products expects to benefit from the Tax Reform enacted during the fourth quarter of 2017. Marine
Products estimates that its annual effective tax rate in 2018 will be in the low 20 percent range. Since Marine
Products believes that it will generate continued positive financial results, the Company expects to benefit from this
lower tax rate through increased earnings in 2018.
The Company has an agreement with one employee that provides for a monthly payment equal to 10 percent of
profits (defined as pretax income before goodwill amortization and certain allocated corporate expenses).
In January 2008, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 3,000,000 shares that the Company may
repurchase for a total aggregate authorization of 8,250,000 shares. The Company repurchased 345,678 shares in the
open market during 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has repurchased under this program a total of
5,736,948 shares in the open market and there are 2,513,052 shares that remain available for repurchase.
The Company has entered into agreements with third-party floor plan lenders where it has agreed, in the event
of default by a dealer, to repurchase MPC boats repossessed from the dealer. These arrangements are subject to
maximum repurchase amounts and the associated risk is mitigated by the value of the boats repurchased. There were
31
no material repurchases of dealer inventory during 2017 or 2016. See further information regarding repurchase
obligations in “NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES” of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company believes that the liquidity provided by its existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities, and cash expected to be generated from operations will provide sufficient capital to meet its requirements
for at least the next twelve months. The Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and
financing purposes are influenced by its capital position and the expected amount of cash to be provided by
operations.

(1) Operating leases represent agreements for warehouse space, and various office and operating equipment.
(2) As part of the normal course of business the Company enters into purchase commitments to manage its various operating needs. However,
the Company does not have any obligations that are non-cancelable or subject to a penalty if canceled.
(3) The Company has agreements with various third-party lenders where it guarantees varying amounts of debt for qualifying dealers on boats
in dealer inventory. As of December 31, 2017, there are no payables outstanding to floor plan lenders.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in the fair value hierarchy (Level 1, 2
or 3) based on the inputs used for valuation. Assets and liabilities that are traded on an exchange with a quoted price
are classified as Level 1. Assets and liabilities that are valued using significant observable inputs in addition to
quoted market prices are classified as Level 2. The Company currently has no assets or liabilities measured on a
recurring basis that are valued using unobservable inputs and therefore no assets or liabilities measured on a
recurring basis are classified as Level 3. For defined benefit plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
(“SERP”) investments measured at net asset value, the values are computed using inputs such as cost, discounted
future cash flows, independent appraisals and market based comparable data or on net asset values calculated by the
fund and not publicly available.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
To assist dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of its boats for inventory, the Company has entered into
agreements with various third-party floor plan lenders whereby the Company guarantees varying amounts of debt
for qualifying dealers on boats in dealer inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes
effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the dealer and the third-party lender. The
agreements typically provide for the return of all repossessed boats in “new and unused” condition subject to normal
wear and tear, as defined, to the Company, in exchange for the Company’s assumption of specified percentages of
the debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits which vary by lender. There
were no material repurchases of inventory under contractual agreements during 2017 or 2016.
Management continues to monitor the risk of additional defaults and resulting repurchase obligation based
primarily upon information provided by the third-party floor plan lenders and to adjust the guarantee liability at the
end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time. As of December 31, 2017, the
Company believes the fair value of its remaining guarantee liability is immaterial. See further information regarding
32
repurchase obligations in “NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES” of the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase
obligation is limited to a maximum of 16 percent of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for
dealers during the prior 12 month period, which was $12.2 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company has
contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of
approximately $6.6 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year. Accordingly, the
aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions is approximately $18.8 million as of December 31,
2017. Although the Company has these agreements with financial institutions, in certain situations, the Company
may decide for business reasons to repurchase boats in excess of these contractual amounts.
Related Party Transactions
In conjunction with its spin-off from RPC in 2001, the Company and RPC entered into various agreements that
define the companies’ relationship after the spin-off.
The Transition Support Services Agreement provides for RPC to provide certain services, including financial
reporting and income tax administration, acquisition assistance, etc., to Marine Products until the agreement is
terminated by either party. Marine Products reimbursed RPC for its estimated allocable share of administrative costs
incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products totaling $849,000 in 2017, $739,000 in 2016, and
$753,000 in 2015. The Company’s payable to RPC for these services was $47,000 as of December 31, 2017 and
$60,000 as of December 31, 2016. All of the Company’s directors, except two, are also directors of RPC and all of
the Company’s executive officers are employees of both the Company and RPC.
RPC and Marine Products own 50 percent each of a limited liability company called 255 RC, LLC that was
created for the joint purchase and ownership of a corporate aircraft. The purchase of the aircraft was completed in
January 2015, and the purchase was funded primarily by a $2,554,000 contribution by each company to 255 RC,
LLC. Each of RPC and Marine Products is a party to an operating lease agreement with 255 RC, LLC for a period of
five years. During 2017, Marine Products recorded certain net operating costs comprised of rent and an allocable
share of fixed costs of approximately $157,000 for the corporate aircraft. The Company accounts for this investment
using the equity method and its proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in selling, general and
administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2017, the investment closely approximates the underlying equity in the
net assets of 255 RC, LLC.
The Employee Benefits Agreement provides for, among other things, the Company’s employees to continue
participating subsequent to the spin-off in two RPC sponsored benefit plans, specifically, the defined contribution
401(k) plan and the defined benefit retirement income plan.
A group that includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, R. Randall Rollins and his brother Gary W.
Rollins, who is also director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of fifty
percent of the Company’s voting power.
Critical Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, which require significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate
assumptions for calculating accounting estimates. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of
existing contracts, trends in the industry, and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.
Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of its critical accounting estimates with
the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The Company believes that, of its significant accounting policies,
the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Sales recognition - The Company sells its boats through its network of independent dealers. Sales orders used to
plan production are firm indications of interest from dealers and are cancelable at any time, although historically
very few orders are cancelled after they have been placed. The Company recognizes sales when all the following
conditions are met: (1) a fully executed sales agreement exists, (2) the price of the boat is established, (3) the dealer
takes delivery of the boat, and (4) collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured.
33
Sales incentives and discounts – The Company records incentives as a reduction of sales or as a cost of sales as
appropriate. Using historical trends and management estimates, adjusted for current changes, the Company estimates
the amount of incentives that will be paid in the future on boats sold and accrues an estimated liability. The
Company offers various incentives that promote sales to dealers, and to a lesser extent, retail customers. These
incentives are designed to encourage timely replenishment of dealer inventories after peak selling seasons, stabilize
manufacturing volumes throughout the year, and improve production model mix. The dealer incentive programs are
a combination of annual volume commitment discounts, and additional discounts at time of invoice for those dealers
who do not finance their inventory through specified floor plan financing agreements. The annual dealer volume
discounts are primarily based on July 1 through June 30 model year purchases. In addition, the Company offers at
various times other time-specific or model-specific incentives.
The factors that complicate the calculation of the cost of these incentives are the ability to forecast sales of the
Company and individual dealers, the volume and timing of inventory financed by specific dealers, identification of
which boats have been sold subject to an incentive, and the estimated lag time between sales and payment of
incentives. Settlement of the incentives generally occurs from three to twelve months after the sale. The Company
regularly analyzes the historical incentive trends and makes adjustments to recorded liabilities for changes in trends
and terms of incentive programs. Total cost of incentives recorded in net sales as a percentage of gross sales was 7.1
percent in 2017, 6.0 percent in 2016, and 6.8 percent in 2015. A 0.25 percentage point change in cost of incentives
as a percentage of gross sales during 2017 would have increased or decreased net sales, gross margin and
operating income by approximately $0.6 million.
Warranty costs -The Company records as part of selling, general and administrative expenses an experience
based estimate of the future warranty costs to be incurred when sales are recognized. The Company evaluates its
warranty obligation for each product line on a model year basis. The Company provides warranties against
manufacturing defects for various components of the boats, primarily the fiberglass deck and hull, with warranty
periods extending up to a lifetime. Warranty costs, if any, on other components of the boats are generally absorbed
by the original component manufacturer. Warranty costs can vary depending upon the size and number of
components in the boats sold, the pre-sale warranty claims, and the desired level of customer service. While we
focus on high quality manufacturing programs and processes, including actively monitoring the quality of our
component suppliers and managing the dealer and customer service warranty experience and reimbursements, our
estimated warranty obligation is based upon the warranty terms and the Company’s enforcement of those terms over
time, manufacturing defects or issues, repair costs, and the volume and mix of boat sales. The estimate of warranty
costs is regularly analyzed and is adjusted based on several factors including the actual claims that occur. Warranty
expense as a percentage of net sales was 1.3 percent in 2017, 1.7 percent in 2016, and 0.6 percent in 2015. The
decrease in warranty expense in 2017 was primarily due to an improvement in warranty claims experience, coupled
with net favorable adjustments for warranty provisions for prior years that were recorded in 2017. A 0.10 percentage
point increase in the estimated warranty expense as a percentage of net sales during 2017 would have increased
selling, general and administrative expenses and reduced operating income by approximately $0.3 million.
Income taxes - The effective income tax rate was 35.6 percent in 2017, 28.5 percent in 2016, and 31.8 percent
in 2015. The effective tax rates vary due to changes in estimates of future taxable income, fluctuations in the tax
jurisdictions in which the earnings and deductions are realized, variations in the relationship of tax-exempt income
or losses to income before taxes and favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities related to
proposed or probable assessments. As a result, the effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly or
annual basis. The effective tax rate for 2017 includes detrimental adjustments related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,
enacted on December 22, 2017.
The Company establishes a valuation allowance against the carrying value of deferred tax assets when it is
determined that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized through future taxable income. Such
amounts are charged to earnings in the period the determination is made. Likewise, if it is later determined that it is
more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would be realized, the applicable portion of the previously
provided valuation allowance is reversed. The Company considers future market growth, forecasted earnings, future
taxable income, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and prudent and feasible tax
planning strategies in determining the need for a valuation allowance.
The Company calculates the current and deferred tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could
differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed during the subsequent year. Adjustments based on
34
filed tax returns are recorded when identified, which is generally in the third quarter of the subsequent year for U.S.
federal and state provisions. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the
financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the year the differences are
expected to reverse. The newly enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act required the revaluation of our deferred tax assets
and liabilities to reflect the change in Federal income tax rates from 35 percent to 21 percent. The Company’s net
deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017 has been reduced through a discrete income tax provision adjustment of
$1.7 million related to this rate change.
The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by federal and state tax authorities,
which often result in proposed assessments. Our estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is
highly judgmental. The Company believes it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcome related
to these matters. However, future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to estimated tax liabilities
in the period the assessments are made or resolved or when statutes of limitation on potential assessments expire.
Additionally, the jurisdictions in which earnings or deductions are realized may differ from current estimates.

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement
of Inventory. Current requirements are to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be
replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximated normal profit margin. These
amendments allow inventory to be measured at lower of cost or net realizable value and eliminates the market
requirement. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted these provisions
in the first quarter of 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-
Based Payment Accounting. The amendments simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based
payment award transactions, requiring excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized as a component of
income tax expense rather than equity. This guidance also requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be
presented as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows and allows an entity to make an accounting
policy election to either estimate expected forfeitures or to account for them as they occur. The Company will
continue to estimate expected forfeitures. The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2017 on
a prospective basis. See Notes on Stock-Based Compensation and Income Taxes for the effect of adoption on
the financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
To be adopted in 2018:
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The provisions of this ASU require entities to
recognize revenue to depict transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates
a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all
relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for either a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is
applied to all of the periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to
the most current period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment reflected in
retained earnings. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative
information of an entity’s nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts
with customers. This new revenue recognition standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.
35
Current Status of Implementation:
The Company has completed a comprehensive review of a representative sample of contracts with customers.
As part of planning for the adoption of this new accounting standard, the Company has prepared technical
accounting memorandums, drafted new formal accounting policies, evaluated the impact of the standard will have
on our control environment, and is currently working on refining required disclosures. The Company adopted the
standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and the cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings upon adoption is immaterial. However, the revenue specific disclosures will be significantly
expanded beginning in 2018.
Other Pronouncements:
ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments make targeted improvements to existing U.S.
GAAP and affects accounting for equity investments and financial instruments and liabilities and related
disclosures. The amendments are effective starting in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted for
certain provisions. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and
Cash Payments. The amendments provide guidance in the presentation and classification of certain cash
receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment
costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of
insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions
received from equity method investees. The amendments are effective starting in the first quarter of 2018 with
early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each
period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the
amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company
does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The
amendments require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset
other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments eliminate the exception for an intra-entity
transfer of an asset other than inventory. Two common examples of assets included in the scope of the
amendments are intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment. The amendments do not include new
disclosure requirements; however, existing disclosure requirements might be applicable when accounting for
the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The
amendments are effective starting in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted. The amendments
are required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to
retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of
these provisions to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The
amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be
accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many
areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments provide a
more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. They also provide
more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a
business more operable. The amendments are effective beginning in the first quarter of 2018 with early
application permitted under certain circumstances. The Company expects to adopt these provisions as it
completes future acquisitions and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
ASU No. 2017-09 —Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification
Accounting. The provisions are applicable when there are changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based
payment award. The amendments require an entity to apply modification accounting for the effects of changes
to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award unless certain conditions including fair value,
36
vesting conditions and classification are met. The amendments are effective beginning in the first quarter of
2018 with early application permitted under certain circumstances. The Company does not expect the adoption
of these provisions to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
To be adopted in 2019 and later:
ASU No. 2016-02 —Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use
asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-
term lease), at the commencement of the lease term. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease
payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. The
amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and
lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition
approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented
in the financial statements. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial
statements.
ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments. The amendments require the credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and
purchased financial assets with credit deterioration should presented as an allowance rather than a write-down.
It also allows recording of credit loss reversals in current period net income. The amendments are effective
starting in the first quarter of 2020 with early application permitted a year earlier. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2017-04 —Intangibles —Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the amendments eliminate Step 2 from the
goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair
value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount
by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not
exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments are effective for annual or
any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning in 2020 applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is
permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial
statements.
ASU No. 2017-08 —Receivables —Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium
Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments shorten the amortization period for
certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call
date. However, the amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the
discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments are effective starting in the first quarter of
2019 with early application permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a modified retrospective basis
through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of
adoption. The entity is required to provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle in the period of
adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated
financial statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Marine Products holds no derivative financial instruments which could expose the Company to significant
market risk. Marine Products maintains an investment portfolio, comprised primarily of municipal debt and
corporate debt securities, which are subject to interest rate risk exposure. This risk is managed through conservative
policies to invest in high-quality obligations. Marine Products has performed an interest rate sensitivity analysis
using a duration model over the near term with a 10 percent change in interest rates. Marine Products’ portfolio is
not subject to material interest rate risk exposure based on this analysis. Marine Products does not expect any
material changes in market risk exposures or how those risks are managed.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
To the Stockholders of Marine Products Corporation:
The management of Marine Products Corporation is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the Company. Marine Products Corporation maintains a system of internal
accounting controls designed to provide reasonable assurance, at a reasonable cost, that assets are safeguarded
against loss or unauthorized use and that the financial records are adequate and can be relied upon to produce
financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The internal control system is augmented by written policies and procedures, an internal audit program and the
selection and training of qualified personnel. This system includes policies that require adherence to ethical business
standards and compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any controls system. A controls system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls
system are met. Also, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any
instances of fraud, if any, within the Company will be detected. Further, the design of a controls system must reflect
the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. The
Company intends to continually improve and refine its internal controls.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our
internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2017 based on criteria established in 2013 Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission. Based on this evaluation, management’s assessment is that Marine Products Corporation maintained
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017.
The independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, has audited the consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, and has also issued their report on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, included in this report on page 39.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Marine Products Corporation
Opinion on internal control over financial reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Marine Products Corporation (a Delaware
corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in the 2013
Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December
31, 2017, and our report dated February 28, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the
U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting
was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the

the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on
criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”), and our report dated February 28, 2018 expressed an
unqualified opinion.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with
the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the
PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Marine Products Corporation and Subsidiaries
Years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015
NOTE 1: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation and Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Marine Products Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Marine Products” or the
“Company”). Marine Products, through Chaparral Boats, Inc. (“Chaparral”) and Robalo Acquisition Company LLC
(“Robalo”), operates as a manufacturer of fiberglass powerboats and related products and services to a broad range
of consumers worldwide.
The consolidated financial statements included herein may not necessarily be indicative of the future results of
operations, financial position and cash flows of Marine Products.
The Company has only one reportable segment — its Powerboat Manufacturing business. The Company’s
results of operations and its financial condition are not significantly reliant upon any single customer or product
model. No single dealer accounted for more than 10 percent of net sales during 2017, 2016 or 2015. Net sales to the
Company’s international dealers were approximately $17 million in 2017, $21 million in 2016, and $22 million in
2015.
Nature of Operations — Marine Products is principally engaged in manufacturing powerboats and providing
related products and services. Marine Products distributes fiberglass recreational boats through a network of
domestic and international independent dealers.
Common Stock — Marine Products is authorized to issue 74,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.10 par value.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by our Board of Directors out of
legally available funds. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of common stock are entitled to ratable distribution of the
remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders.
Preferred Stock — Marine Products is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.10 par
value. As of December 31, 2017, there were no shares of preferred stock issued. The Board of Directors is
authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of preferred stock as a class
without series or, if so determined from time to time, in one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the
applicable laws of the state of Delaware and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights, exchangeability
for shares of any other class or classes of stock. Any preferred stock to be issued could rank prior to the common
stock with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation.
Share Repurchases — The Company records the cost of share repurchases in stockholders’ equity as a
reduction to common stock to the extent of par value of the shares acquired and the remainder is allocated to capital
in excess of par value and retained earnings if capital in excess of par value is depleted. The Company tracks capital
in excess of par value on a cumulative basis and for each reporting period, discloses the excess over capital in excess
of par value as part of stock purchased and retired in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
Dividend — On January 23, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a 43 percent increase to the regular cash
dividend from $0.07 per share to $0.10 per share payable March 9, 2018 to stockholders of record at the close of
business on February 9, 2018. Subject to industry conditions and Marine Products’s earnings, financial condition,
and other relevant factors, the Company expects to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends to common
stockholders.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are used
in the determination of sales incentives and discounts, warranty costs, and income taxes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Marine Products Corporation and Subsidiaries
Years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015
Sales Recognition — Marine Products recognizes sales when a fully executed agreement exists, prices are
established, products are delivered to the dealer in the case of domestic dealers and collectability is reasonably
assured. See “Deferred Revenue” below for recognition of sales to international dealers.
Deferred Revenue — Marine Products requires payment from international dealers and some domestic dealers
prior to shipment of products to these dealers. Amounts received from these dealers toward the purchase of boats are
classified as deferred revenue and recognized as sales when the products are shipped.
Shipping and Handling Charges — The shipping and handling of the Company’s products to dealers is handled
through a combination of third-party marine transporters and a company owned fleet of delivery trucks. Fees
charged to customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations and the related costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold.
Advertising — Advertising expenses are charged to expense during the period in which they are incurred.
Expenses associated with product brochures and other inventoriable marketing materials are deferred and amortized
over the related model year which approximates the consumption of these materials. As of December 31, 2017 and
2016, the Company had approximately $342,000 and $271,000 in prepaid expenses related to unamortized product
brochure costs. Advertising expenses totaled approximately $2,305,000 in 2017, $2,545,000 in 2016 and $2,480,000
in 2015 and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Sales Incentives and Discounts — Sales incentives including dealer discounts and retail sales promotions are
provided for and recorded as a reduction of sales or as a cost of sales as appropriate. The Company records the
estimated cost of these incentives at the later of the recognition of the related sales or the announcement of a
promotional program.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when
acquired are considered to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts, which at times,
may exceed federally insured limits.
Marketable Securities — Marine Products maintains investments at a large, well-capitalized financial
institution. Marine Products’ investment policy does not allow investment in any securities rated less than
“investment grade” by national rating services.
Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates
such designations as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale because the
Company does not have the intent to hold the securities to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are stated at their
fair values, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as a separate component of stockholders’
equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses, declines
in value judged to be other than temporary, interest and dividends on available-for-sale securities are included in
interest income. Net realized gains (losses) on marketable securities totaled $30,000 in 2017, ($39,000) in 2016 and
$45,000 in 2015. Of the total gains (losses) realized, reclassification from other comprehensive income totaled
approximately $30,000 in 2017, ($39,000) in 2016, and $45,000 in 2015. There were no gross unrealized gains on
marketable securities as of December 31, 2017 and $4,000 as of December 31, 2016. Gross unrealized losses on
marketable securities totaled $70,000 as of December 31, 2017 and $53,000 as of December 31, 2016. The
amortized cost basis, fair value and net unrealized loss of the available-for-sale securities are as follows:

Municipal debt obligations consist primarily of municipal notes rated AA- or higher ranging in maturity from
less than one year to over 10 years. Investments with remaining maturities of less than 12 months are considered to
be current marketable securities. Investments with remaining maturities greater than 12 months are considered to be
47
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Marine Products Corporation and Subsidiaries
Years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015
non-current marketable securities. The Company’s non-current marketable securities as of December 31, 2017 are
scheduled to mature between 2019 and 2047.
Accounts Receivable — The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from dealers located in
markets throughout the United States. Approximately 74 percent of Marine Products’ domestic shipments are made
pursuant to “floor plan financing” programs in which Marine Products’ subsidiaries participate on behalf of their
dealers with various major third-party financing institutions. Under these arrangements, a dealer establishes lines of
credit with one or more of these third-party lenders for the purchase of boat inventory for sales to retail customers in
their show room or during boat show exhibitions. When a dealer purchases and takes delivery of a boat pursuant to a
floor plan financing arrangement, it draws against its line of credit and the lender pays the invoice cost of the boat
directly to Marine Products within approximately ten business days. The Company determines its allowance for
doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past
due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and
the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes-off accounts receivable
when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the
allowance.
Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) and net
realizable value. When evidence exists that the net realizable value of inventory is lower than its cost, the Company
recognizes the difference as a loss in earnings in the period in which it occurs. Net realizable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and
transportation.
Property, Plant and Equipment — Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is provided
principally on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost of assets retired or
otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of
disposal with the resulting gain or loss credited or charged to income. Expenditures for additions, major renewals,
and betterments are capitalized while expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation expense on operating equipment used in production is included in cost of goods sold in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All other depreciation is included in selling, general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Property, plant and equipment
are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment exist.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles — Intangibles consist primarily of goodwill and trade names related to
businesses acquired. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets of
businesses acquired. The carrying amount of goodwill was $3,308,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. The
Company evaluates whether goodwill is impaired by comparing its market capitalization based on its closing stock
price (Level 1 input) to the book value of its equity on the annual evaluation date. The Company also periodically
performs a valuation of its trade names and has concluded that the fair value of these assets is not impaired. Based
on these evaluations, the Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill or trade names has occurred for the
years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.
Investments — The Company maintains certain securities in the non-qualified Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan that have been classified as trading. See Note 10 for further information regarding these securities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Marine Products Corporation and Subsidiaries
Years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015
Warranty Costs — The Company provides a lifetime limited structural hull warranty, a five-year limited
structural deck warranty, and a transferable one-year limited warranty to the original owner. Warranties for
additional items are provided for periods of one to five years and are not transferrable. Additionally, as it relates to
the first subsequent owner, a five-year transferrable hull warranty and the remainder of the original one-year limited
warranty on certain components are available. The five-year transferable hull warranty terminates five years after
the date of the original retail purchase. Claim costs related to components are generally absorbed by the original
component manufacturer. The Company accrues for estimated future warranty costs at the time of the sale based on
its historical claims experience. An analysis of the warranty accruals for the years ended December 31, 2017 and
2016 is as follows:

Insurance Accruals — The Company fully insures its risks related to general liability, product liability,
workers’ compensation, and vehicle liability, whereas the health insurance plan is self-funded up to a maximum
annual claim amount for each covered employee and related dependents. The estimated cost of claims under the
self-insurance program is accrued as the claims are incurred and may subsequently be revised based on
developments relating to such claims.
Research and Development Costs — The Company expenses research and development costs for new products
and components as incurred. Research and development costs are included in selling, general and administrative
expenses and totaled $960,000 in 2017, $858,000 in 2016, and $663,000 in 2015.
Repurchase Obligations — The Company has entered into agreements with third-party floor plan lenders where
it has agreed, in the event of default by the dealer, to repurchase MPC boats repossessed from the dealer. These
arrangements are subject to maximum repurchase amounts and the associated risk is mitigated by the value of the
boats repurchased. The Company accrues estimated losses when a loss, due primarily to the default of one of our
dealers, is determined to be probable and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable.
Income Taxes — Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial
and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
expected to reverse. The newly enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act required the revaluation of our deferred tax assets
and liabilities to reflect the change in Federal income tax rates from 35 percent to 21 percent. The Company’s net
deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017 has been reduced through a discrete income tax provision adjustment of
$1.7 million related to this rate change. The Company establishes a valuation allowance against the carrying value of
deferred tax assets if the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized through
future taxable income.
Stock-Based Compensation — Stock-based compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payment
awards, net of an estimated forfeiture rate. Thus, compensation cost is amortized for those shares expected to vest on
a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. See Note 10 for additional information.
Earnings per Share — Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. In addition, the Company has
periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore
considered participating securities. See Note 10 for further information on restricted stock granted to employees.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and marketable securities. The carrying value of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature
of such instruments. The Company’s marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities with the
exception of investments held in the non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) which are
classified as trading securities. All of these securities are carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets. See Note 8 for further information regarding the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities.
Concentration of Suppliers — The Company has only four suppliers for the three types of engines it purchases.
This concentration of suppliers could impact our sales and profitability in the event of a sudden interruption in the
delivery of these engines.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the FASB issued the following Accounting Standards Updates
(ASUs):
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
• Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement
of Inventory. Current requirements are to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be
replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximated normal profit margin. These
amendments allow inventory to be measured at lower of cost or net realizable value and eliminates the market
requirement. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted these provisions
in the first quarter of 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of these provisions did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
• ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-
Based Payment Accounting. The amendments simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based
payment award transactions, requiring excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be recognized as a component of
income tax expense rather than equity. This guidance also requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies to be
presented as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows and allows an entity to make an accounting
policy election to either estimate expected forfeitures or to account for them as they occur. The Company will
continue to estimate expected forfeitures. The Company adopted these provisions in the first quarter of 2017 on
a prospective basis. See Notes on Stock-Based Compensation and Income Taxes for the effect of adoption on
the financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted:
To be adopted in 2018:
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The provisions of this ASU require entities to
recognize revenue to depict transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard creates
a five step model that requires companies to exercise judgment when considering the terms of a contract and all
relevant facts and circumstances. The standard allows for either a full retrospective adoption in which the standard is
applied to all of the periods presented, or a modified retrospective adoption in which the standard is applied only to
the most current period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative-effect adjustment reflected in
retained earnings. The standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative
information of an entity's nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts
with customers. This new revenue recognition standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period.
Current Status of Implementation:
The Company has completed a comprehensive review of a representative sample of contracts with customers.
As part of planning for the adoption of this new accounting standard, the Company has prepared technical
accounting memorandums, drafted new formal accounting policies, evaluated the impact of the standard will have
on our control environment, and is currently working on refining required disclosures. The Company adopted the
standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method and the cumulative-effect adjustment to
retained earnings upon adoption is immaterial. However, the revenue specific disclosures will be significantly
expanded beginning in 2018.
Other Pronouncements:
• ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments make targeted improvements to existing U.S.
GAAP and affects accounting for equity investments and financial instruments and liabilities and related
disclosures. The amendments are effective starting in the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted for
certain provisions. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a material impact on
its consolidated financial statements.
• ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and
Cash Payments. The amendments provide guidance in the presentation and classification of certain cash
receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment
costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of
insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions
received from equity method investees. The amendments are effective starting in the first quarter of 2018 with
early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each
period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the
amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company
does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
• ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. The
amendments require an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset
other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The amendments eliminate the exception for an intra-entity
transfer of an asset other than inventory. Two common examples of assets included in the scope of the
amendments are intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment. The amendments do not include new
disclosure requirements; however, existing disclosure requirements might be applicable when accounting for
the current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. The
amendments are effective starting in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted. The amendments
51

Years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015
are required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to
retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of
these provisions to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
• ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The
amendments are intended to help companies and other organizations evaluate whether transactions should be
accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many
areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The amendments provide a
more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. They also provide
more consistency in applying the guidance, reduce the costs of application, and make the definition of a
business more operable. The amendments are effective beginning in the first quarter of 2018 with early
application permitted under certain circumstances. The Company expects to adopt these provisions as it
completes future acquisitions and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial
statements.
• ASU No. 2017-09 —Compensation —Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification
Accounting. The provisions are applicable when there are changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based
payment award. The amendments require an entity to apply modification accounting for the effects of changes
to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award unless certain conditions including fair value,
vesting conditions and classification are met. The amendments are effective beginning in the first quarter of
2018 with early application permitted under certain circumstances. The Company does not expect the adoption
of these provisions to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
To be adopted in 2019 and later:
• ASU No. 2016-02 —Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use
asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-
term lease), at the commencement of the lease term. The liability will be equal to the present value of lease
payments. The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs. The
amendments in this standard are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and
lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition
approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented
in the financial statements. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial
statements.
• ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments. The amendments require the credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and
purchased financial assets with credit deterioration should presented as an allowance rather than a write-down.
It also allows recording of credit loss reversals in current period net income. The amendments are effective
starting in the first quarter of 2020 with early application permitted a year earlier. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial statements.
• ASU No. 2017-04 —Intangibles —Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
Impairment. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the amendments eliminate Step 2 from the
goodwill impairment test. The annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair
value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount
by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not
exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments are effective for annual or
any interim goodwill impairment tests beginning in 2020 applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is
permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial
statements.
• ASU No. 2017-08 —Receivables —Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium
Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments shorten the amortization period for
52
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Marine Products Corporation and Subsidiaries
Years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015
certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call
date. However, the amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the
discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments are effective starting in the first quarter of
2019 with early application permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a modified retrospective basis
through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of
adoption. The entity is required to provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle in the period of
adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated
financial statements.

NOTE 6: INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”), which took effect
on January 1, 2018. Some notable provisions of the Act include a reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35
percent to 21 percent, a one-time transition tax on un-repatriated foreign earnings and profits, adjustments to
deductible compensation paid to our executive officers, and 100 percent bonus depreciation on capital expenditures.
Under the accounting rules, companies are required to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and tax rates on
deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. As a result, as of December
31, 2017, the Company recorded a discrete tax provision adjustment of $1.7 million from revaluing the Company’s
net deferred tax assets. The Company did not record any adjustments related to un-repatriated foreign earnings and
profits because the Company is primarily U.S. based and has no significant foreign entities or activities. We believe
that the adjustments resulting from these components of the Act are complete as of December 31, 2017.
However, the Company has not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the Act as it pertains to
the deduction for executive compensation, including the impact for compensation that is paid pursuant to a binding
contract that would have been deductible under the prior rules. Due to the complexity of this provision, additional
time is needed to further analyze our executive compensation program, exceptions under the binding contract rule,
the impact of vesting of restricted stock grants, dividends, and bonuses.
The ultimate impact of the Act may differ from the recorded amounts due to changes in our interpretations and
assumptions, as well as additional regulatory guidance that may be issued. We expect to complete the accounting for
tax reform with the completion of our 2017 Federal income tax return, expected to be complete by the third quarter
2018.
Also in 2017, the Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2016-09 that required excess tax benefits and
deficiencies related to the vesting of restricted stock to be recognized as a component of income tax expense rather
than in equity. This resulted in a beneficial discrete adjustment of approximately $718 thousand to the provision for
income taxes in 2017.
The following table lists the components of the provision for income taxes:

Total net income tax payments were $9,733,000 in 2017, $6,546,000 in 2016, and $5,797,000 in 2015. As of
December 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards related to state income taxes of
approximately $14.3 million and other state credits of approximately $6.9 million (gross) that will expire between
2018 and 2035. In 2016, the Company released all valuation allowances related to net operating loss carryforwards
due to implemented tax planning strategies. The Company has a valuation allowance against the corresponding
deferred tax asset on all state tax credits because the Company does not expect to utilize them.
The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense.
Accrued interest and penalties were immaterial as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
During 2017, the Company recognized an increase in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits related primarily
to state income taxes, settlements, and voluntary disclosure agreements. The liability, if recognized, would affect our

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Marine Products Corporation and Subsidiaries
Years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015
It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefits with respect to our unrecognized tax
positions will increase or decrease in the next 12 months. These changes may be the result of, among other things,
state tax settlements under voluntary disclosure agreements. However, quantification of an estimated range cannot
be made at this time.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state income tax in multiple jurisdictions. In
many cases our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain open and subject to examination by the
relevant taxing authorities. The Company’s 2014 through 2017 tax years remain open to examination. Additional
years may be open to the extent attributes are being carried forward to an open year.

The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between
assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The
hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:
1. Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
2. Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant
assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for
substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
3. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect
those that market participants would use.

The Company determines the fair value of the marketable securities that are available-for-sale through quoted
prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that
are not active. The trading securities are comprised of SERP assets, as described in Note 10, and are recorded
primarily at their net cash surrender values calculated using their net asset values, which approximate fair value, as
provided by the issuing insurance company. Significant observable inputs, in addition to quoted market prices, were
used to value the trading securities. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning
of quarterly reporting periods. For the year ended December 31, 2017 there were no significant transfers in or out of
levels 1, 2 or 3.
The carrying amount of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current
liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company
currently does not use the fair value option to measure any of its existing financial instruments and has not
determined whether or not it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the future.
NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lawsuits — The Company is a defendant in certain lawsuits which allege that plaintiffs have been damaged as a
result of the use of the Company’s products. The Company is vigorously contesting these actions. Management,
after consultation with legal counsel, is of the opinion that the outcome of these lawsuits will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of Marine Products.
Dealer Floor Plan Financing — To assist dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of its boats for
inventory, the Company has entered into agreements with various dealers and selected third-party floor plan lenders
to guarantee varying amounts of qualifying dealers’ debt obligations. The Company’s obligation under these
guarantees becomes effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the dealer and the
third party lender. The agreements provide for the return of repossessed boats to the Company in new and unused

condition subject to normal wear and tear as defined, in exchange for the Company’s assumption of specified
percentages of the debt obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits by lender.
There were no material repurchases of inventory under contractual agreements during 2017 or 2016.
Management continues to monitor the risk of additional defaults and resulting repurchase obligations based in part
on information provided by the third-party floor plan lenders and will adjust the guarantee liability at the end of each
reporting period based on information reasonably available at that time.
The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase
limit is to not exceed 16 percent of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for dealers during
the prior 12 month period, which was $12.2 million as of December 31, 2017. The Company has contractual
repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately
$6.6 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase
obligation with all financing institutions of approximately $18.8 million as of December 31, 2017. This repurchase
obligation risk is mitigated by the value of the boat repurchased.
Minimum annual operating lease obligations with terms in excess of one year, in effect at December 31, 2017,
are summarized in the following table:

Total rent expense charged to operations was approximately $353,000 in 2017, $352,000 in 2016 and
$135,000 in 2015.
Income Taxes — The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by federal and
state tax authorities, which often result in proposed assessments. Other long-term liabilities included the Company’s
estimated liabilities for these probable assessments and totaled approximately $191,000 as of December 31, 2017
compared to $43,000 as of December 31, 2016.
Employment Agreements — The Company has an agreement with one employee, that provides for a monthly
payment to the employee equal to 10 percent of profits (defined as pretax income before goodwill adjustments and
certain allocated corporate expenses) in addition to a base salary. The expense under these agreements totaled
approximately $4,068,000 in 2017, $4,202,000 in 2016 and $6,411,000 in 2015 and is included in selling, general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE 10: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) - The Company permits selected highly compensated
employees to defer a portion of their compensation into the SERP. The SERP assets are invested primarily in
company-owned life insurance (“COLI”) policies as a funding source to satisfy the obligation of the SERP. The
assets are subject to claims by creditors, and the Company can designate them to another purpose at any time.
Investments in COLI policies consist of variable life insurance policies of $6.6 million as of December 31, 2017 and
$6.0 million as of December 31, 2016. In the COLI policies, the Company is able to allocate assets across a set of
choices provided by the insurance underwriter, including fixed income securities and equity funds. The COLI
policies are recorded at their net cash surrender values, which approximates fair value, as provided by the issuing
insurance company, whose Standard & Poor’s credit rating was A+.
The Company classifies the SERP assets as trading securities as described in Note 1. The fair value of these
assets totaled $6,031,000 as of December 31, 2017 and $5,547,000 as of December 31, 2016. The SERP assets are
reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and changes related to the fair value of the assets are
included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Trading gains

(losses) related to the SERP assets totaled $470,000 in 2017, $106,000 in 2016 and $(84,000) in 2015. The SERP
liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet in pension liabilities with any change in the fair value of the SERP
liabilities recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
In connection with death of an executive officer during 2016, the Company recorded tax free gains of
approximately $751 thousand comprised of the following: $556 thousand generated by the insurance death proceeds
under a Company-owned life insurance contract of approximately $1.9 million less cash surrender value of
approximately $1.4 million, and $195 thousand as a result of insurance death benefits from a key-man life insurance
policy. The net gain is reflected as part of selling, general and administrative expenses in 2016.
Retirement Income Plan — Marine Products participates in the tax-qualified, defined benefit, noncontributory,
trusteed retirement income plan sponsored by RPC, Inc. (“RPC”) that covers substantially all employees with at
least one year of service prior to 2002.
The Company’s fair value of the plan assets exceeded the projected benefit obligation for its Retirement Income
Plan by $343,000 and thus the plan was over-funded as of December 31, 2017.

The Company’s expected return on assets assumption is derived from a detailed periodic assessment by its
management and investment advisor. It includes a review of anticipated future long-term performance of individual
asset classes and consideration of the appropriate asset allocation strategy given the anticipated requirements of the
plan to determine the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested to provide for the pension plan
benefits. While the assessment gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the
rate of return assumption is derived primarily from a long-term, prospective view. Based on its recent assessment,
the Company has concluded that its expected long-term return assumption of seven percent is reasonable.
The plan’s weighted average asset allocation at December 31, 2017 and 2016 by asset category along with the
target allocation for 2018 are as follows:

The Company’s overall investment strategy is to achieve a mix of approximately 70 percent of investments for
long-term growth and 30 percent for near-term benefit payments, with a wide diversification of asset types, fund
strategies and fund managers. Equity securities primarily include investments in large-cap and small-cap companies
domiciled domestically and internationally. Fixed-income securities include corporate bonds, mortgage-backed
securities, sovereign bonds, and U.S. Treasuries. Other types of investments include real estate funds and private
equity funds that follow several different investment strategies. For each of the asset categories in the pension plan,
the investment strategy is identical – maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets with an acceptable level of
risk in order to minimize the cost of providing pension benefits. The investment policy establishes a target allocation
for each asset class which is rebalanced as required. The plan utilizes a number of investment approaches, including
but not limited to individual market securities, equity and fixed income funds in which the underlying securities are
marketable, and debt funds to achieve this target allocation. Company management expects to make a contribution
to the pension plan of approximately $100,000 during fiscal year 2018.
Some of our assets, primarily our private equity and real estate funds, do not have readily determinable market
values given the specific investment structures involved and the nature of the underlying investments. For plan asset
reporting as of December 31, 2017, publicly traded asset pricing was used where possible. For assets without readily
determinable values, estimates were derived from investment manager statements combined with discussions
focusing on underlying fundamentals and significant events. Additionally, these investments are valued based on the
net asset value per share calculated by the funds in which the plan has invested and the valuation is based on
significant non-observable inputs which do not have a readily determinable fair value. These assets have been
excluded from the fair value hierarchy applied retrospectively based on the accounting guidance recently adopted.
The valuations are subject to judgments and assumptions of the funds which may prove to be incorrect, resulting in
risks of incorrect valuation of these investments. The Company seeks to mitigate these risks by evaluating the

appropriateness of the funds’ judgments and assumptions by reviewing the financial data included in the funds’
financial statements for reasonableness.
The following tables present our plan assets using the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

401(k) Plan— Marine Products participates in a defined contribution 401(k) plan sponsored by RPC that is
available to substantially all full-time employees with more than 90 days of service. This plan allows employees to
make tax-deferred contributions of up to 25 percent of their annual compensation, not exceeding the permissible
deduction imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matches 50 percent of each employee’s
contributions that do not exceed six percent of the employee’s compensation, as defined by the 401(k) plan.
Employees vest in the Company’s contributions after three years of service. The charges to expense for Marine
Products’ contributions to the 401(k) plan were approximately $317,000 in 2017, $270,000 in 2016 and $250,000 in
2015.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Marine Products Corporation and Subsidiaries
Years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015
Stock Incentive Plan— The Company reserved 3,000,000 shares of common stock under the 2014 Stock
Incentive Plan with a term of ten years expiring in April 2024. All future equity compensation awards by the
Company will be issued under the 2014 plan. This plan provides for the issuance of various forms of stock
incentives, including among others, incentive and non-qualified stock options and restricted shares. As of December
31, 2017, there were approximately 2,062,600 shares available for grant.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for the unvested portion of awards outstanding over the
remainder of the service period. The compensation cost recorded for these awards will be based on their fair value at
grant date less the cost of estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods to reflect actual forfeitures. Cash flows related to share-based awards to employees
that result in tax benefits in excess of recognized cumulative compensation cost (excess tax benefits) are classified
as financing cash flows.
Pre-tax stock-based employee compensation expense was approximately $2,682,000 ($1,729,000 after tax) for
2017, $2,624,000 ($1,692,000 after tax) for 2016 and $1,993,000 ($1,285,000 after tax) for 2015.
Stock Options— Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock at the date of grant except for grants of incentive stock options to owners of greater than 10 percent
of the Company’s voting securities which must be made at 110 percent of the fair market value of the Company’s
common stock. Options generally vest ratably over a period of five years and expire in 10 years, except to owners of
greater than 10 percent of the Company’s voting securities, which expire in five years.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The Company has not granted stock options to employees since 2004.
There were no options exercised in 2017 and there have been no stock options outstanding since December 31,
2014. There was no tax benefit associated with the exercise of non-qualified stock options during 2017, 2016 or
2015.
Restricted Stock— Marine Products grants selected employees time lapse restricted stock that vest after a
certain stipulated number of years from the grant date, depending on the terms of the issue. The Company has
currently issued time lapse restricted shares that vest in 20 percent increments starting with the second anniversary
of the grant, over the six year period beginning on the date of grant. During these years, grantees receive all
dividends declared and retain voting rights for the shares.
The agreements under which the restricted stock is issued provide that shares awarded may not be sold or
otherwise transferred until restrictions established under the stock plans have lapsed. Upon termination of
employment from the Company, with the exception of death (fully vests), disability or retirement (partially vests
based on duration of service), shares with restrictions are forfeited in accordance with the plan.

The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of
grant and is amortized to compensation expense on a straight line basis over the requisite service period. The
weighted average grant date fair value of these restricted stock awards was $13.39 in 2017, $5.77 in 2016 and $7.08
in 2015. The total fair value of shares vested was approximately $4,432,032 in 2017, $2,686,000 in 2016 and
$2,254,000 during 2015.
Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2016-09 in 2017, the excess tax benefits realized from tax compensation
deductions in excess of compensation expense have been reflected as follows:
• Approximately $718,000 during 2017 has been recorded as a discrete tax adjustment and classified within
operating activities as part of net income in the consolidated statements of cash flows; and
• Approximately $160,000 during 2016 were credited to capital in excess of par value and classified within
financing activities as an inflow in addition to being disclosed as an outflow within operating activities in
the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Other Information— As of December 31, 2017 total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested
restricted shares was approximately $6,458,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period
of 3.2 years.
NOTE 11: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In conjunction with its spin-off from RPC in 2001, the Company and RPC entered into various agreements that
define the companies’ relationship after the spin-off.
The Transition Support Services Agreement provides for RPC to provide certain services, including financial
reporting and income tax administration, acquisition assistance, etc., to Marine Products until the agreement is
terminated by either party. Marine Products reimbursed RPC for its estimated allocable share of administrative costs
incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products totaling $849,000 in 2017, $739,000 in 2016 and
$753,000 in 2015. The Company’s payable due to RPC for these services was $47,000 as of December 31, 2017 and
$60,000 as of December 31, 2016. The Company’s directors are also directors of RPC and all of the Company’s
executive officers are employees of both the Company and RPC.
The Employee Benefits Agreement provides for, among other things, the Company’s employees to continue
participating subsequent to the spin-off in two RPC sponsored benefit plans, specifically, the defined contribution
401(k) plan and the defined benefit retirement income plan.
RPC and Marine Products own 50 percent each of a limited liability company called 255 RC, LLC that was
created for the joint purchase and ownership of a corporate aircraft. The purchase of the aircraft was completed in
January 2015, and the purchase was funded primarily by a $2,554,000 contribution by each company to 255 RC,
LLC. Each of RPC and Marine Products is a party to an operating lease agreement with 255 RC, LLC for a period
of five years. During 2017, Marine Products recorded certain net operating costs comprised of rent and an allocable
share of fixed costs of approximately $157,000 for the corporate aircraft. The Company accounts for this investment
using the equity method and its proportionate share of income or loss is recorded in selling, general and
administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2017, the investment closely approximates the underlying equity in the
net assets of 255 RC, LLC.
A group that includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, R. Randall Rollins and his brother Gary W.
Rollins, who is also director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of fifty
percent of the Company’s voting power.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
The Annual Report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements”
under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including all statements that
look forward in time or express management’s beliefs, expectations or hopes. In particular,
such statements include, without limitation, our belief that our effective tax rate in 2018 will
be much lower than in prior years and that this reduced tax rate will increase our earnings
and cash flow and allow us more options as we pursue capital allocation strategies that
benefit our shareholders; our receptiveness to considering acquisition candidates which
manufacture products which complement our own offerings; our encouragement by
favorable macroeconomic trends as well as a strong winter boat show season; our plans to
address obstacles to our growth through product innovation and market knowledge; and
our belief that our strengths will prove to be a catalyst for continued growth in the coming
years. The actual results of the Company could differ materially from those indicated by
the forward-looking statements because of various risks and uncertainties, including,
without limitation, those identified under the title “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K included as part of this Annual Report. In addition, the payment of
future dividends is subject to Board discretion and depends on many factors, including
the Company’s available cash flow and competing uses for cash. All of the foregoing risks
and uncertainties are beyond the ability of the Company to control, and in many cases the
Company cannot predict the risks and uncertainties that could cause its actual results to
differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. The Company
does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.
