recreational boating as an enjoyable, safe outdoor activity for multiple generations of family and friends Despite on-going supply chain challenges, we succeeded in producing more boats in a streamlined model lineup that continues to gather industry accolades We finished the year with improving production processes and a dealer network that continues to need inventory, while at the same time monitoring the macroeconomic landscape for signs of a potential slowdown that could reduce recreational boat demand R266 SKY DECK We also generated record net sales and net income for Marine Products Corporation and a thirteenth straight year of strong profitability in 2022 Net sales for 2022 were $381 0 million, an increase of 27 8 percent compared with $298 0 million in 2021 Net sales increased due to a 23 7 percent increase in average selling prices and a 4 0 percent increase in unit sales Selling prices among each of our Chaparral and Robalo models increased as our customers’ preferences continued to migrate to larger boats In addition, selling prices increased as we were forced to pass increases in materials, labor and transportation costs to our dealers and retail customers Our best-selling models in both 2021 and 2022 were two of our Chaparral sterndrive sport boats Other highlights included strong sales of several of our mid-range Robalo center console models, as well as increased sales of our largest boat, the Robalo 360 Center Console Gross profit in 2022 was $93 7 million, an increase of 37 3 percent compared with $68 3 million in 2021 Gross margin was 25 percent of net sales in 2022 compared to 23 percent of net sales in 2021 Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased due to a model mix that continues to shift toward larger boats as well as price increases instituted during the year Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $41 9 million in 2022 compared to $31 9 million Marine Products Corporation generated record net income of $40.3 million in 2022, 39 percent higher than 2021 net income of $29.0 million. in 2021, due principally to expenses that vary with sales and profitability, such as incentive compensation and warranty expense Our costs used to support our dealers’ efforts in boat shows increased as well, as more winter boat shows were held in 2022 than in 2021 Operating income in 2022 was $51 8 million, or 14 percent of net sales, compared with $36 4 million, or 12 percent of net sales, in 2021 Interest income was $338 thousand in 2022, a significant increase compared with $16 thousand in 2021 Interest income increased due to higher interest yields earned on our cash balances during 2022 Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)(1) were $53 7 million in 2022, an increase of $15 5 million or 41 percent compared to $38 2 million in 2021 Marine Products Corporation generated record net income of $40 3 million in 2022, 39 percent higher than 2021 net income of $29 0 million Our effective tax rate was 23 percent in 2022, slightly higher that the effective tax rate of 20 percent in 2021 Diluted earnings per share were a record $1 18 in 2022, compared to $0 85 in 2021 During 2022 our Board of Directors continued the Company’s regular quarterly cash dividend for the eleventh consecutive year, increasing it in the fourth quarter of 2022 to $0 14 per share Total cash dividends per share in 2022 were $0 50 per share, an increase of $0 04 per share or nine percent compared to 2021 We continue to view our dividend policy as a vital component of long-term shareholder value creation and were pleased that we had the ability to increase our dividend during 2022 Marine Products Corporation generated $49 3 million in net cash provided by operating activities during 2022, a significant increase compared to $457 thousand in 2021 The significant increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to record net income and the result of our success late in the year in managing inventory by completing and shipping boats that had been near completion earlier in the year As we begin 2023 we believe the supply chain issues that caused our working capital increases are being resolved, though we still have opportunities to improve our production and inventory management and reduce inventory to more normalized levels (1) EBITDA is a financial measure that does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) Additional disclosures regarding this non-GAAP financial measure, including a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, is found on page 62 of this Marine Products Corporation 2022 Annual Report Capital expenditures of $2 5 million were higher than capital expenditures of $1 2 million in 2021 as we purchased some new trailers and upgraded our information technology systems and production facilities In addition, we distributed $17 1 million in dividends, an increase of $1 4 million compared to $15 6 million in 2021 As a result, we finished 2022 with $43 2 million in cash, a $29 1 million increase compared to $14 1 million in cash at the end of 2021 We are pleased with this significant increase in cash and will continue to manage our inventories and working capital to enhance our cash position further during 2023 We are pleased to report continued strong market share within our product lines During 2022 Robalo held a market share of 4 2 percent within its size range in the outboard fiberglass category, the third highest market share In combination with Chaparral’s outboard products, Marine Products’ outboard offerings held a market share of 5 4 percent Chaparral’s sterndrive market improved slightly to 19 8 percent during 2022 and it continued to rank second in its size category During May 2022 we announced leadership changes to the Company when our longtime CEO, Richard A Hubbell was named Executive Chairman of our Board of Directors, I was named Chief Executive Officer, and we added Michael L Schmit to the executive team as our new Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary The continuity of the leadership team along with bringing new financial talent into the Company has served us well as we maintain our strong financial performance at Marine Products Corporation 270 OSX Our priorities for 2023 include continuing to manage our suppliers to optimize availability and deliveries of the raw materials and fabricated components that constitute our supply chain This continued management is critical to product quality, efficiency and profitability, and working capital requirements In addition, we will monitor all relevant indicators of consumer demand during the critical 2023 retail selling season should it be impacted by higher interest rates, economic softening or declining consumer confidence As we finish a second consecutive record year and look toward 2023, we want to thank our employees who build quality products and ensure that they reach our dealer network We also commend our suppliers who worked with us this year to solve availability issues and helped us lower our working capital requirements and increase shipments to our dealers Finally, we acknowledge and thank our dealers and retail customers, many of whom have multi-generational relationships with us Our retail customers continue to choose recreational boating, along with Chaparral and Robalo’s range of quality products, and our dealers continue to dedicate their efforts to bringing our products to market and providing a lifetime of

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements made in this report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements regarding: the Company’s belief that it intends to remain a leading manufacturer of recreational powerboats for sale to a broad range of consumers worldwide; the Company’s belief that Chaparral will continue to expand the range of its offerings through insightful, innovative product design and quality manufacturing processes to reach an increasingly discerning recreational boating market; the Company’s belief that there is currently an adequate supply of engines, resins and fiberglass available in the market; the Company’s plans to continue seeking the most advantageous purchasing arrangements from its suppliers; the Company’s plans to continue purchasing sterndrive engines through the American Boatbuilders Association (“ABA”) on a voluntary basis in order to receive volume-based purchase discounts; the Company’s belief that its allocation of production among its dealers will continue during 2023 and its belief that it will be able to continue to resell any boat for which an order has been cancelled during the near term; the Company’s belief that dealer inventories of its boat models are insufficient to meet the current level of retail customer demand during the 2023 retail selling season; the Company’s belief that its strong market share is primarily due to the success of its larger SSX models and the Surf Series; the Company’s belief that increases in the cost of certain components, international tariffs, operating costs, and the impact of environmental regulation have increased the cost of boats and boat ownership in recent years and that these trends may continue; the Company’s belief that it is well positioned to take advantage of industry conditions; the Company’s belief that its membership in the ABA positions itself as a significant third-party customer of major suppliers of sterndrive engines; the Company’s belief that its corporate infrastructure and marketing and sales capabilities, in addition to its financial strength, and its nationwide presence, enable it to compete effectively against its competitors; the Company’s marketing strategy seeks to increase market share by enabling the Company to expand its presence by building dedicated sales, marketing and distribution systems; the Company’s plans to increase selectively the quantity of its dealers to improve the quality and effectiveness of its dealer network; the Company’s plans to capitalize on its strong dealer network by educating its dealers on the sales and servicing of its products and helping them provide more comprehensive customer service, with the goal of increasing customer satisfaction, customer retention and future sales;

the Company’s belief that quarterly operating results for the second quarter traditionally record the highest sales volume for the year because this corresponds with the highest retail sales volume period; the Company’s belief that price increases have had no discernible impact on the Company’s sales due to high consumer demand and strong order backlogs, so they have allowed the Company to maintain its profit margins; the Company’s belief that while the recent increase in inflation creates a risk to retail demand for recreational boats, such factors are currently not expected to impact production and sales; the Company’s belief that it maintains all requisite licenses and permits and is in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations; the Company’s belief that the ultimate outcome of any litigation will not have a material effect on its liquidity, financial condition or results of operations; the Company’s plans to continue to monitor retail demand, the actions of its competitors, dealer inventory levels and the availability of dealer and consumer financing for the purchase of its products and to adjust its production levels as deemed appropriate;

the Company’s belief that retail demand will continue to exceed the recreational boating industry’s production capacity for the foreseeable future, though it notes that fuel prices, higher interest rates, and concerns regarding a possible recession in 2023 may reduce consumer demand during 2023;

BUSINESS Marine Products manufactures fiberglass motorized boats distributed and marketed through its independent dealer network. Marine Products’ product offerings include Chaparral sterndrive and outboard 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 and sport fishing boat markets. The Company sells its products to a network of 210 domestic and 88 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. 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 over 57 years of boatbuilding experience, Chaparral continues to expand the range of its offerings through insightful, innovative product design and quality manufacturing processes in order to reach an increasingly discerning recreational boating market. The Company manufactures Chaparral sterndrive pleasure boats including SSi and SSX models, and the Chaparral Surf Series. The Company also manufactures Chaparral outboard pleasure boats which include OSX Luxury Sportboats and SSi outboard models. In addition to the outboard models manufactured by Chaparral, the Company also manufactures Robalo outboard sport 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 models manufactured under the Robalo name include center consoles, dual consoles and Cayman Bay Boats. The most recent available industry statistics [source: Statistical Surveys, Inc. report dated September 30, 2022] indicate that Robalo Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 1 1 Part I Item 1. — Business is the third largest manufacturer of outboard boats in lengths from 18 to 36 feet in the United States with a market share of 4.2 percent. Additionally, the combination of Robalo and Chaparral outboards holds the second highest position in the outboard market of this size range, with a market share of 5.4 percent. PRODUCTS Marine Products distinguishes itself by offering a wide range of products to the family recreational markets through its Chaparral brands and to the sport fishing market through its Robalo brands.

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 and a transferable one-year limited warranty to the original owner. Chaparral also includes a five-year limited structural deck warranty. 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. 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. During the period beginning in the second quarter of 2020, at various times Marine Products experienced significant shortages in, and delayed shipments of, several of these raw materials and component parts used in manufacturing its products. These shortages have reduced our ability to meet the existing levels of dealer and consumer demand and have also increased working capital requirements during this period. During the third and fourth quarters of 2022, however, many of these shortages or delays began to ease, which allowed Marine Products to complete and ship more boats. As a result, unit sales during the fourth quarter of 2022 were the highest of any quarter during the year, and working capital requirements began to decline as well. Part I Item 1. — Business Marine Products does not manufacture the engines installed in its boats. Engines are generally specified by the dealers at the time of ordering a boat, usually based on 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 outboard engine supply contracts with Yamaha and Mercury Marine which 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, as well as copper and steel. The costs of these commodities fluctuate in response to changes in global economic conditions. SALES AND DISTRIBUTION Domestic sales are generated through our independent dealer network of approximately 73 Chaparral dealers, 47 Robalo dealers and 90 dealers that sell both brands located in markets throughout the United States. Marine Products also has 88 international dealers. 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. No single dealer accounted for 10 percent or more of net sales during 2022, 2021 or 2020. 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. In addition, Marine Products has developed virtual marketing programs which include online product demonstrations and virtual reality software and hardware which promote the features of its products. The Company’s virtual marketing efforts have become increasingly important beginning in 2020, when social distancing requirements resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic limited customer interaction at boat dealers’ facilities and reduced in-person boat shows during the winter boat show season. Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 1 3 Part I Item 1. — Business Marine Products continues to seek new dealers in many areas throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe, South America, Asia, and the Middle East. In general, Marine Products requires full payment in U.S. dollars 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. During 2022, the Company’s international net sales increased 61.2 percent compared to 2021 despite the impact of trade tariffs enacted during 2018, most notably in Mexico and the European Union which was lifted during the second quarter of 2022. International net sales as a percentage of total net sales were 6.7 percent in 2022, 5.3 percent in 2021, and 4.9 percent in 2020. Marine Products’ sales orders are indicators of strong interest from its dealers. Historically, dealers have in most cases taken delivery of all their orders. In a typical ordering, production and delivery cycle, the Company monitors dealer inventory levels in order to inform its production scheduling and to ensure that dealers do not hold excess inventory. During 2021 and 2022, however, extraordinarily high dealer and consumer demand combined with the Company’s production delays caused by supply chain disruptions have caused dealer inventories to fall to historic lows. The combination of low inventory levels and continued high demand has forced the Company to allocate its production to dealers to fulfill as many orders as possible and rebuild dealer inventories to levels that both the Company and its dealers believe to be appropriate. Marine Products believes that this allocation of production will continue during 2023. In the past, Marine Products has been able to resell any boat for which an order has been cancelled and believes that this ability will continue during the near term. Approximately 58 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 self-finance. 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. 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 limit, subject to a minimum of $8.0 million, is based on a specified percentage of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our dealers less repurchases during the prior 12 month period, which was a repurchase limit of $8.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of $4.3 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year. Accordingly, the aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions was approximately $12.3 million as of December 31, 2022. In the event that a dealer defaults on a credit line, the qualified lender may then invoke the manufacturer’s 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 2023 model year (which commenced July 1, 2022), Marine Products offered its dealers several sales incentive programs based on dollar volume and timing of dealer purchases. Program incentives offered include sales discounts and payment of floor plan financing interest charged by qualified floor plan lenders to dealers generally through April 30, 2023. 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 do not believe that dealer inventories of our boat models as of December 31, 2022 are sufficient to meet the current level of retail customer demand. The sales order backlog as of December 31, 2022 was 1,544 boats with estimated net sales of approximately $115.0 million. This represents an approximate 16.6 week backlog based on recent production levels. The sales order backlog as of December 31, 2021 was 2,457 boats with estimated net sales of approximately $166.0 million. This represented an approximate 30.0 week backlog based on production levels at that time. The Company’s backlog measured in weeks at December 31, 2022 was less meaningful than in past periods because the Company is allocating its productions to its dealers rather than manufacturing boats in response to dealer orders as has been its past practice. 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. Due to the high retail demand, over 96 percent of our boats have been in dealer inventory less than 1 4 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K Part I Item 1. — Business 12 months as of December 31, 2022. The Company typically does not manufacture a significant number of boats for its own inventory. The Company occasionally manufactures boats for 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. In support of its new product development efforts, Marine Products incurred research and development costs of $437 thousand in 2022, $776 thousand in 2021, and $751 thousand in 2020. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW The recreational marine market in the United States is a mature market, with 2021 retail expenditures of approximately $57 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 12 million recreational 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 three lines of Chaparral boats and in the outboard category with its Robalo sport fishing boats, Chaparral OSX Sport Luxury, and selected Chaparral SSi models. Management believes that the five largest states for boat sales at the present time are Florida, Texas, Michigan, North Carolina and Minnesota. Marine Products has dealers in each of these states. Industry retail sales of new outboard boats in the United States during 2022 totaled 47,099 units and accounted for approximately 71 percent of the total new fiberglass powerboats sold between 18 and 36 feet in hull length. Retail sales of new outboard boats had an estimated total retail value of $3.7 billion, with an average retail price per unit of approximately $79,000. Approximately 58 percent of the Company’s unit sales to dealers in 2022 were outboard boats compared to 62 percent in 2021. Retail sales of new sterndrive boats in the United States during 2022 totaled 6,552 units and accounted for approximately 10 percent of the total new fiberglass powerboats sold in the 21 to 34 feet hull length. Retail sales of new sterndrive boats had an estimated total retail value of $880 million, with an average retail price per unit of approximately $134,000. Approximately 42 percent of the Company’s unit sales to dealers in 2022 were sterndrive boats compared to 38 percent in 2021. The table below reflects the estimated annual sales within the recreational marine market segment by category for 2022 and 2021 (source: Info-Link Technologies, Inc.): 2022 2021 Boats Sales ($ B) 6,552 $ 0.9 47,099 3.7 2.0 66,116 $ 6.6 12,465 Boats 7,165 53,471 12,871 73,507 Sales ($ B) $ 0.8 3.8 1.8 $ 6.4 Sterndrive Boats Outboard Boats Inboard Boats Total Chaparral’s products are categorized as sterndrive boats and outboard boats, and Robalo’s products are categorized as outboard boats. Industry-wide sterndrive boat unit sales have declined steadily during the last three years. The recreational boat manufacturing market remains highly fragmented, although several large public companies own, or have started to acquire, a diversified group of recreational boat manufacturers. We estimate that the boat manufacturing industry includes fewer than 20 sterndrive manufacturers and approximately 75 outboard boat manufacturers with significant unit production, with a large number 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, 2022, the top five outboard model manufacturers, which include Marine Products Corporation’s Robalo brands, have a combined market share of approximately 24 percent, compared to 28 percent during the same period in the prior year. Also according to Statistical Surveys, Inc., the top five sterndrive model manufacturers, – which includes Chaparral, have a combined market share of approximately 74 percent, the same as during the same period in the prior year. Chaparral’s market share in sterndrive units during this period was approximately 19.8 percent, a slight increase compared to the same period in the prior year. 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. As noted elsewhere, consumer demand began to increase significantly during the second quarter of 2020 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 1 5 Part I Item 1. — Business as the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged American consumers to seek safe outdoor activities involving a limited number of people. 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, international tariffs, 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; and > a lack of financial strength among retail boat dealers and many manufacturers. BUSINESS STRATEGIES Recreational boating is a mature industry. According to Info-Link Technologies, Inc., retail sales of new powerboats of all types decreased at a compounded annual rate of approximately 2.3 percent between 2018 and 2022. During this period, Marine Products experienced a compounded annual decline rate of approximately 5.1 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. At the end of 2022, the Company’s dealer inventories were approximately 70.0 percent higher than they were at the end of 2021, and our unit order backlog was 37.2 percent lower than it was at the end of 2021. In spite of high retail and dealer demand, and historically low dealer inventories, our unit order backlog is lower at the end of 2022 than at the end of 2021 because current supply chain issues prevent us from forecasting our production accurately during the near term. We believe that dealer inventories are not sufficient to meet retail demand during the 2023 retail selling season. Chaparral has grown its sterndrive market share in its size category from 5.9 percent in fiscal 1996 to 19.8 percent during the latest reported period ended September 30, 2022 (the most recent information available to us from Statistical Surveys, Inc.). During 2022, Marine Products generated its highest unit sales volume to dealers within two of Chaparral’s sterndrive SSI models. In general, our model mix during 2022 shifted to larger boats, which generate higher average selling prices. Our high-volume models support 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 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 23 independent boat manufacturers that have formed a buying group to pool their purchasing power 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 298 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 2022 we continued to develop our nationally advertised fixed retail pricing strategy. 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 encourages consistent pricing across our dealer network. Marine Products also realizes that innovative marketing is an increasingly important component of the full customer experience and is leading the way with marketing and branding that consistently present a luxury-oriented message that integrate themselves into the boater’s entire experience. A component of Marine Products’ overall strategy is to consider making strategic acquisitions which complement existing product lines, expand its geographic presence in the marketplace and strengthen its capabilities depending upon availability, price and complementary product lines. We periodically review potential acquisition targets. 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 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) outboard boat manufacturers in the 1 6 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K United States based on retail unit sales in 2022. According to Statistical Surveys, Inc., the companies set forth below represent approximately 47 percent of all United States retail outboard boat registrations with hull lengths of 18 to 36 feet for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022 (latest data available to us). 1.

Carolina Skiff The sterndrive engine powered market encompasses a wide variety of boats, accounting for approximately 10 percent of traditional powerboat retail unit sales during 2022. Marine Products Corporation’ Chaparral brand was the second largest manufacturer of sterndrive boats in lengths from 21 to 34 feet during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2022 and its share of the market during this period was approximately 19.8 percent. Primary competitors for Chaparral in the sterndrive market during 2022 included Cobalt4, Sea Ray5, Regal, Crownline and Monterey. 1 Includes Bayliner, Boston Whaler and Sea Ray outboard units 2 Includes Robalo and Chaparral outboard units 3 Division or subsidiary of MasterCraft Boat Holdings, Inc. 4 Division or subsidiary of Malibu Boats, Inc. 5 Division or subsidiary of Brunswick Corporation 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 facility inspections 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. 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 Part I Item 1. — Business in the European Community must be compliant with the International for Standardization requirements which specify Organization 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. 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. Compliance with these EPA regulations has increased Marine Products’ cost and 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. HUMAN CAPITAL The table below shows the number of employees at December 31, 2022 and 2021: At December 31, Employees 2022 935 2021 880 The recreational boating therefore industry headcount is subject to change based on production levels which are a function of dealer and consumer demand. The Company’s key human capital management objectives are focused on fostering talent in the following areas: is cyclical and Diversity and Equality – The Company’s workforce reflects the diversity of the community in which it operates. Our dedicated team of employees work toward a common purpose. We provide employment in a small community which we have supported as the largest employer since 1976 under the same management. Our company is strong in its values, relationships and consistency in management. The Board of Directors has a human capital and compensation committee that, among other things, monitors compliance with applicable non-discrimination laws related to race, gender and other protected classes. The Committee provides quarterly reports to the Board, including discussion of any significant compliance matters. Development and Training – The Company’s management team and all its employees are expected to exhibit and promote honest, ethical and respectful conduct in the workplace. We have implemented and maintained a corporate compliance program to provide guidance for everyone associated with the Company, including its employees, officers and directors (the “Code”). Annual review of Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 1 7 Part I Item 1. — Business the Code is required, and the Code prohibits unlawful or unethical activity, including discrimination, and directs our employees, officers, and directors to avoid actions that, even if not unlawful or unethical, might create an appearance of illegality or impropriety. In addition, the Company provides annual training for preventing, identifying, reporting and stopping any type of unlawful discrimination. Employee Retention – Marine Products monitors voluntary employee turnover and reports these statistics to senior operational management. From time to time, the Company has rewarded employee tenure through various bonus programs for its hourly employees based on attendance and job performance. Compensation and Benefits – The Company focuses on attracting and retaining employees by providing compensation and benefit packages that are competitive in the market, taking into account the location and responsibilities of the job. We provide competitive financial benefits such as a 401(k) retirement plan with a company match, and generally grant awards of restricted stock for certain of our salaried employees. The Company provides a health insurance option that includes a local primary physician who provides immediate care or medical consultation to its employees at reduced or no cost, as well as certain maintenance medications at reduced or no cost. Under this program, an employee with a health concern visits the physician’s office, which is close to our manufacturing facility, and either receives care or is referred to another facility for testing or additional care. We believe that this program improves employee well-being by facilitating their access to health care. Safety – Marine Products monitors several safety measures and reports them to senior operational management on a regular basis. Management reviews safety incidents, and the Company works to remediate operational issues that may be potential causes of any frequent incidents. In addition, the Company awards safety bonuses to the drivers of its company-owned vehicles based on their driving records. to response In the COVID-19 pandemic, Marine Products temporarily suspended manufacturing operations for five weeks at the end of the first quarter of 2020, out of concern for the well-being of its employees and their families, and at the recommendation of local and state authorities. The Company also coordinated testing for employees at a local physician’s office. The Company has since resumed operations and implemented additional safety measures for its employees including providing face masks and hand sanitizer as well as social distancing where possible. The Company encourages vaccinations and has created opportunities for employees to conveniently receive vaccinations at their job site. PROPRIETARY MATTERS Marine Products owns several 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. 1 8 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K SEASONALITY Marine Products’ quarterly operating results are affected by weather and general economic conditions. Quarterly operating results for the second quarter traditionally record the highest sales volume for the year because this corresponds with the highest retail sales volume period. For similar reasons, quarterly operating results for the fourth quarter often record the lowest sales volume for the year. However, in 2020 Marine Products recorded the lowest quarterly sales volume of the year in the second quarter because of our temporary production facility closure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the highest sales volume of the year in the fourth quarter of 2020, due to high retail demand which extended beyond the traditional retail selling season for recreational boats. Marine Products did not experience traditional seasonal sales patterns during 2021 and 2022 because retail customers were concerned about low dealer inventories and were willing to purchase a boat outside of the typical boating season. In addition, Marine Products recorded the highest quarterly sales volume of 2022 during the fourth quarter due to improvement in our supply chain and transportation availability. Boat demand remained very high throughout 2021 and 2022 and we believe that these consumer behaviors will continue in 2023. The results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in any future period. INFLATION During 2021 and 2022, inflation in the general economy has increased to its highest level in more than 40 years due to economic growth following the COVID-19 pandemic, labor shortages and U.S. fiscal policy. As a result, the market prices of the raw materials used by the Company’s manufacturing processes increased during these periods. In addition, the Company purchases components of which there are a limited number of suppliers, most of whom are experiencing significant customer orders impacting their ability to provide needed supply quantities. The costs of most of these components increased as demand from recreational boat manufacturers has increased and supply chains have remained constrained. These cost increases are exacerbated by higher transportation costs, which are included in the total cost of these components. In response to historically high consumer demand as well as higher raw materials and components costs, the Company increased the prices for its products periodically beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and continuing through the beginning of the 2023 model year. During the third and fourth quarters of 2022, the prices of many raw materials used in the Company’s manufacturing processes began to decline, and transportation became more available and less expensive, thus easing the Company’s cost pressures. As of the end of 2022, the Company’s price increases during this period have had no discernible impact on the Company’s sales due to high consumer demand and strong order backlogs, so they have allowed Marine Products to maintain its profit margins. However, if in the future the Company is forced to raise the prices of its products due to increased raw materials and component costs, it may not be able to continue to pass these increased costs along to dealers and consumers, which could impact the Company’s profit margins. Furthermore, such higher product prices may compel consumers to choose smaller boats, boats with fewer features or delay the purchase of a boat altogether. Part I Item 1.A. — Risk Factors 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. The Company believes that the recent increases in interest rates creates a risk to retail demand for recreational boats. However, we do not believe that this risk will impact production and sales in the near future due to other factors, such as historically low dealer inventories, high dealer order backlog, and indications of consumer demand that extend into the 2023 retail selling season. AVAILABILITY OF FILINGS Marine Products makes available free of charge on its website, MarineProductsCorp.com, 10-K, the annual 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. report on Form ITEM 1.A. RISK FACTORS RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS 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 2023 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. to Marine Products’ Dependence on its Network of Independent Boat Dealers May Affect its Operating Results and Sales. Virtually all 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 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. 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’ 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 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 1 9 Part I Item 1.A. — Risk Factors 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’ Single Operational Location Creates Risk for its Sales, Profits and the Value of its Assets. Marine Products’ manufacturing operations are conducted in a single location in Nashville, Georgia. To support our operations, several of our suppliers have also established facilities close to our manufacturing facility to provide timely delivery of fabricated components to us. Catastrophic weather, civil unrest or other unanticipated events beyond our control may disrupt both our and our suppliers’ ability to conduct manufacturing operations or transport our finished boats to our dealer network. We do not own or have access to alternate manufacturing locations. In the event of such events or conditions, we may incur damage to our work- in-process and finished goods inventory and will incur impairment charges to the value of that inventory. Furthermore, our sales and profits may be adversely affected during and immediately after such events or conditions due to our inability to manufacture and deliver boats to our dealer network. 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. Because Marine Products Relies on Third-party Suppliers, Marine Products may be Unable to Obtain Adequate Raw Materials, Engines and Components Which Could Increase our Working Capital Requirements and 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. Marine Products has only four suppliers for the three types of engines it purchases. 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’ 2 0 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 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. As noted, we rely on third parties to supply a number of raw materials used in our manufacturing processes. Prices for these raw materials fluctuate, often unpredictably, due to market forces beyond our control. When prices of these raw materials increase, we attempt to preserve our profit margins by increasing the prices of our products. During 2021, we experienced increases in raw materials prices and successfully preserved our profitability by increasing prices for our products. However, if inflation continues in the prices of these or other raw materials or parts and components, there is no assurance that we can continue to increase the prices of our products and preserve our profitability. intends to pursue acquisitions and Marine Products may be Unable to Identify, Complete or Successfully Integrate Acquisitions. Marine Products 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. Increasing Expectations from Customers, Investors and Other Stakeholders Regarding Our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Practices may affect Our Business, may Create Additional Costs for us, or Expose Us to Related Risks. Many companies are receiving greater attention from stakeholders regarding their ESG practices, as well as their oversight of relevant ESG issues. The various stakeholders are placing growing importance on our potential environmental and social issue risk exposure and the impact of our choices. This trend appears likely to continue. Increased focus on ESG and related decision-making may negatively impact us as customers, investors and other stakeholders may choose to not work with us or reallocate capital or decline to make an investment as a result of their assessment of our ESG practices. Companies that do not comport with, or do not adapt to, these evolving investor and stakeholder ESG-related expectations and standards, or that are assessed as not having responded appropriately to the growing focus on ESG matters, may have their brand and reputation harmed, and we or our stock price may be adversely affected even though we may be in full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations. Part I Item 1.A. — Risk Factors RISK MANAGEMENT RISKS 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. 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 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. RISKS RELATED TO OUR LABOR FORCE 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. GENERAL RISKS 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 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. We currently have an effective Form S-3 registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission that would allow the sale of significant blocks of our common stock by us and certain of our largest shareholders. RISKS RELATED TO OUR CAPITAL AND OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE Marine Products’ Executive Officers, Directors and Their Affiliates Together Have a Substantial Ownership Interest, and 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 Gary W. Rollins, Pamela R. Rollins, Amy Rollins Kreisler and Timothy C. Rollins, each of whom is a director of the Company, 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 and independent nominating and compensation committees. Marine Products’ executive officers, directors and their affiliates hold directly or through indirect beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, approximately 76 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. Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 2 1 RISKS RELATED TO DIGITAL OPERATIONS, CYBERSECURITY AND BUSINESS DISRUPTION Our operations rely on digital systems and processes that are subject to cyber-attacks or other threats that could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition. Our operations are dependent on digital technologies and services. We use these technologies and services for internal purposes, including data storage, processing and transmissions, as well as in our interactions with customers and suppliers. Digital technologies are subject to the risk of cyber-attacks, both from internal and external threats. Internal threats in cybersecurity are caused by the misuse of access to networks and assets by individuals within the Company by maliciously or negligently disclosing, modifying or deleting sensitive information. Individuals within the Company include current employees, contractors and partners. External threats in cybersecurity are caused by unauthorized parties attempting to gain access to our networks and assets by exploiting security vulnerabilities or through the introduction of malicious code, such as viruses, worms, Trojan horses and ransomware. In response to the risk of cyber-attacks, we regularly review and update processes to prevent unauthorized access to our networks and assets and misuse of data. We provide security awareness training for all employees, and closely manage the accounts and privileges of all employees and contractors. We also maintain an up-to-date incident response plan to quickly address cybersecurity incidents. If our systems for protecting against cybersecurity risks prove to be insufficient, we could be adversely affected by, among other things, loss of or damage to intellectual property, proprietary or confidential information, or customer, supplier, or employee data, as well as, interruption of our business operations and increased costs required to prevent, respond to, or mitigate cybersecurity attacks. These risks could harm our reputation and our relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other third parties, and may result in claims against us. These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated results of operations and consolidated financial condition. Part I Item 1.B — Unresolved Staff Comments Our Executive Officers, Directors and Their Affiliates Together Have a Substantial Ownership Interest, and the Availability of Marine Products’ Common Stock to the Investing Public May be Limited. The availability of Marine Products’ common stock to the investing public may be limited to those shares not held by the executive officers, directors and their affiliates, which could negatively impact Marine Products’ stock trading prices and affect the ability of minority stockholders to sell their shares. Future sales by executive officers, directors and their affiliates of all or a portion of their shares could also negatively affect the trading price of our common stock. The Controlling Group Could Take Actions That Could Negatively Impact Our Results of Operations, Financial Condition or Stock Price. The Controlling Group may from time to time and at any time, in their sole discretion, acquire or cause to be acquired, additional equity or other instruments of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or derivative instruments the value of which is linked to Company securities, or dispose or cause to be disposed, such equity or other securities or instruments, in any amount that the Controlling Group may determine in their sole discretion, through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. In addition, depending upon a variety of factors, the Controlling Group may at any time engage in discussions with the Company and its affiliates, and other persons, including retained outside advisers, concerning the Company’s business, management, strategic alternatives and direction, and in their sole discretion, consider, formulate and implement various plans or proposals intended to enhance the value of their investment in the Company. In the event the Controlling Group were to engage in any of these actions, our common stock price could be negatively impacted, such actions could cause volatility in the market for our common stock or could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and our financial condition. 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 director nominations, 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 1.B.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS PRESENTATION The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document. See also “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 10. Discussions of 2021 items and year-to-year comparisons of 2021 and 2020 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which Item is incorporated herein by reference. 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 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 which are competitive in the market, > Coordinating a complex supply chain to ensure that raw materials and parts used in manufacturing our products are delivered on a timely basis, > 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 dealer’s expectations regarding our production allocations during periods in which dealer demand exceeds our production capacity, > 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, > Designing our products and marketing strategies to create a positive, memorable experience for our customers, within an evolving environment which calls for the increased use of technology to conduct virtual marketing and product demonstration, > 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, evolving customer preferences for socially distanced recreational activities, interest rates, dealer orders placed at our annual dealer conferences, and retail attendance and orders at annual winter boat show exhibitions and through virtual marketing events. 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 and preferences, because pleasure boating is a discretionary expenditure and consumers have many competing activities for their leisure time. Pleasure boating is also impacted by interest rates, the availability of financing and shifting consumer preferences towards safe activities which do not involve large crowds. During 2022, aggregate retail sales of the boating segments in which Marine Products operates increased by approximately 3.5 percent compared to the prior year. Our consolidated net sales increased in 2022 compared to 2021 due to a 4.0 percent increase in unit sales to dealers coupled with a 23.7 percent increase in the average gross selling price per boat. Management will continue to monitor retail demand among the various segments in the recreational boat market, the actions of our competitors, dealer inventory levels and Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 2 5 Part II Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations the availability of dealer and consumer financing for the purchase of our products and adjust our production levels as deemed appropriate. We periodically monitor our market share in various categories 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, 2022 (latest data available to us), Robalo’s share of the 18 to 36 foot outboard sport fishing boat market was 4.2 percent, the third highest market share within this category. Chaparral’s market share in the 19 to 34 foot sterndrive category was 19.8 percent, an increase in comparison to the same period in the prior year and the second highest market share in this category during this period. Marine Products Corporation’s share of the outboard recreational market, including both Robalo and Chaparral’s outboard units, was 5.4 percent of the total market within its size range for the 12 months ended September 30, 2022 which was the third highest share among manufacturers of various outboard brands during this period. 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 the strong retail demand for new recreational boats which began with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue through 2023 though growth may moderate as retail demand is satisfied and consumers return to more normal lifestyles coupled with economic concerns and other factors such as interest rates. Beginning in the second quarter of 2020, many consumers chose recreational boating when they left urban areas to spend time in vacation homes or in smaller groups, often located near recreational bodies of water. Recreational boating is a leisure activity that supports this transition because people perceive it to be a safe outdoor activity which does not involve large groups of people. We believe that retail demand will continue to exceed the recreational boating industry’s production capacity for the foreseeable future, though we note that fuel prices, higher interest rates, and concerns regarding a possible recession in 2023 may reduce consumer demand during 2023. Since many recreational boat buyers finance their purchases, higher interest rates may force them to choose smaller, less expensive boats or forgo the purchase of a boat altogether. In spite of strong consumer demand, industry retail unit sales in 2021 and 2022 declined compared to comparable prior year periods. The Company believes that these declines have been caused by the industry’s supply chain and labor problems which are preventing recreational boat manufacturers from producing sufficient units to meet retail and consumer demand. The overall cost of boat ownership has increased over the last several years. In particular, the cost to purchase a boat has increased because of increased materials and labor costs and higher interest rates, which increase the financing costs of boat ownership. In addition, the price of fuel has fluctuated over the past several years, creating uncertainty regarding the cost of operating a boat. The higher cost of boat ownership may discourage consumers from purchasing recreational boats. For years, Marine Products and other boat manufacturers have been improving their customer service capabilities, marketing strategies and sales promotions 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. Since the 2021 model year, Marine Products has produced a smaller number of models than in previous years in order to increase production efficiency. In addition, the average size of the models the Company is producing has increased in response to evolving retail demand, although concern regarding higher fuel prices may encourage consumers to purchase smaller boats, which use less fuel. In a typical year, Marine Products and its dealers present our new models to retail customers during the winter boat show season, which takes place during the fourth and first calendar quarters. The industry will conduct more boat shows in 2023 than in the previous two years due to the easing of COVID-19 – related restrictions, so we plan to attend more boat shows during 2023 than during the previous two years. Due to strong demand across the recreational sector, key materials and components are in tight supply. Supply chain disruptions have delayed the receipt of both raw materials and key components used in our manufacturing process, thus delaying production and deliveries to our dealers. Although these disruptions began to moderate during the fourth quarter of 2022, they still impact our ability to meet dealer and retail demand. Transportation shortages have further impacted our ability to deliver finished products to our dealers, though these issues began to moderate during the third and fourth quarters of 2022. These production and shipment delays caused our working capital requirements to increase significantly starting in the third quarter of 2021, although our inventory levels began to decline during the fourth quarter of 2022 as these issues began to improve. Our financial results during 2023 will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to meet dealer and consumer demand in the face of ongoing supply chain challenges which have impacted our manufacturing operations. Additional factors that could impact our results include the availability and cost of credit to our dealers and consumers, increasing fuel costs, the continued acceptance of our new products in the recreational boating market, the near-term effectiveness of our marketing efforts, the availability and cost of labor and certain of our raw materials and key components used in manufacturing our products and the availability of qualified employee and contract drivers to deliver our finished products to dealers. 2 6 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K Part II Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Total number of boats sold Average gross selling price per boat (in thousands) Net sales (in thousands) Gross profit margin percent Percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses to net sales Operating income (in thousands) Warranty expense (in thousands) YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021 Net Sales. Marine Products’ net sales increased by $83.0 million or 27.8 percent in 2022 compared to 2021. The increase was primarily due to a 4.0 percent increase in the number of boats sold, as well as an increase in parts and accessories sales, coupled with a 23.7 percent increase in the average gross selling price per boat. Unit sales increased in all of our Chaparral models as well as many Robalo models during 2022 compared to the prior year due to our success in finishing and shipping substantially completed boats from inventory as a result of improvement of supply chain issues. Average selling prices increased compared to the prior year primarily due to a favorable model mix coupled with price increases to cover increased costs including primarily materials and components. Domestic net sales were $355.4 million, an increase of 26.0 percent compared to the prior year. In 2022, international net sales were $25.6 million, an increase of 61.2 percent compared to the prior year. Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased 25.0 percent in 2022 compared to 2021 consistent with the increase in net sales. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold decreased to 75.4 percent in 2022 compared to 77.1 percent in 2021 primarily LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Years ended December 31, 2022 4,331 76.8 380,995 24.6% 11.0% 51,796 5,903 $ $ $ $ 2021 4,165 62.1 298,014 22.9% 10.7% 36,392 3,702 $ $ $ $ 2020 3,689 56.1 239,825 22.4% 12.2% 24,361 2,845 $ $ $ $ due to price increases and a favorable model mix during 2022 compared to the prior year. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 31.5 percent in 2022 compared to 2021 primarily due to an increase in costs that vary with sales and profitability, such as incentive compensation, sales commissions and warranty expense. In addition, the Company recorded a $1.2 million pension settlement charge in 2022 associated with its defined benefit pension plan. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 11.0 percent in 2022 compared to 10.7 percent in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, warranty expense was 1.5 percent in 2022 and 1.2 percent in 2021. Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net increased due to an increased cash balance and higher investment yields to $338 thousand in 2022 compared to $16 thousand in 2021. Marine Products generated interest income primarily from investments of excess cash in money market funds. Additionally, interest expense is recorded for the revolving credit facility, including fees on the unused portion of the facility. Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision increased to $11.8 million in 2022 compared to $7.4 million in 2021. The effective tax rate increased slightly from 22.6 percent in 2022 to 20.3 percent in 2021. Cash and Cash Flow The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $43.2 million at December 31, 2022, $14.1 million at December 31, 2021 and $31.6 million at December 31, 2020. The following table sets forth the historical cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31: (in thousands) Net cash provided by operating activities Net cash used in investing activities Net cash used in financing activities 2022 $ 49,348 $ (2,500) (17,779) 2021 457 (1,248) (16,680) 2020 $ 29,874 (2,065) (16,040) Cash provided by operating activities in 2022 increased $48.9 million compared to 2021. The net cash provided by operating activities in 2022 includes net income of $40.3 million coupled with a favorable change in other accrued expenses of $4.0 million and net favorable changes in other components of our working capital (including accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable) totaling $2.2 million. The net favorable changes in accrued expenses and accounts payable are primarily due to higher production levels and profitability. Additionally, the favorable change in inventory is due to finishing and shipping substantially completed boats from inventory Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 2 7 Part II Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as a result of improvement of supply chain issues in the current year in comparison to the prior year which was negatively impacted by supply chain disruptions of critical components needed to complete boats. Cash used for investing activities in 2022 was $2.5 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2021. This increase is primarily due to higher capital expenditures in 2022 in comparison to the same period of the prior year. Cash used for financing activities in 2022 increased $1.1 million compared to 2021 primarily due to increased dividends paid to common shareholders, partially offset by a reduction in the cost of stock repurchases related to the vesting of restricted shares. Cash Requirements Management expects that capital expenditures during 2023 will be approximately $4.0 million. The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan (“Plan”), sponsored by RPC. The Company did not make any cash contributions to this plan in 2022. During 2021, the Company initiated actions to terminate the defined benefit pension plan which are expected to be completed in early 2023. We do not currently expect the Company to make any contributions to the Plan in 2023. On January 24, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per common share payable March 10, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 10, 2023. The Company has a contractual agreement with one employee that provides for a monthly payment equal to a percentage of profits (defined as pretax income before goodwill amortization and certain allocated corporate expenses) which effective June 1, 2022 was revised to seven percent of profits, as defined, compared to 10 percent of profits in the prior periods. The Company has a stock buyback program initially adopted in 2001 and subsequently amended in 2013 and 2019 that authorizes the aggregrate repurchase of 8,250,000 shares in the open market. The Company did not repurchase any shares under this program in 2022 and 2021. There are 1,570,428 shares that remain available for repurchase as of December 31, 2022. The program does not have a predetermined expiration date. The Company has entered into agreements with third-party floor plan lenders where it has agreed, in the event of default by a qualifying 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 had no repurchases of dealer inventory in 2022 and 2021. See further information regarding repurchase obligations 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES” of the Consolidated Financial Statements which is incorporated herein by reference. in “NOTE The Company believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, its overall strong capitalization, cash generated by operations and the Company’s ability to sell up to approximately $150 million in shares of its common stock under the Company’s shelf registration statement will provide sufficient capital to meet the Company’s 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. The Company also has a revolving line of credit facility to increase its flexibility for managing its investment in its working capital. On November 12, 2021, the Company obtained a $20 million revolving credit facility that matures November 2026. The facility contains customary terms and conditions, including restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. The facility includes (i) a $5 million sublimit for swingline loans, (ii) a $2.5 million aggregate sublimit for all letters of credit, and (iii) a committed accordion which can increase the aggregate commitments by the greater of $35 million and EBITDA over the most recently completed twelve month period at the time of incurrence. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreement.

For additional information with respect to MPC’s contractual obligations, see Note 7: Long-term debt and Note 14: Leases of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and which is incorporated herein by reference. 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 investment fund and not publicly available. OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS To assist dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of their 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 2 8 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K Part II Item 7. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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. The Company had no repurchases of dealer inventory under contractual agreements during 2022 and 2021. Management continues to monitor the risk of additional defaults and resulting repurchase obligations 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, 2022, the Company believes the fair value of its guarantee liability is immaterial. See further information regarding repurchase obligations 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES” of the Consolidated Financial Statements which is incorporated herein by reference. in “NOTE The Company currently has an agreement with one of the floor plan lenders whereby the contractual repurchase limit, subject to a minimum of $8.0 million, is based on a specified percentage of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our dealers less repurchases during the prior 12 month period, which was a repurchase limit of $8.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of $4.3 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year. Accordingly, the aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions was approximately $12.3 million as of December 31, 2022. 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 See “NOTE the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference, for a description of related party transactions. 13: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS” of CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES 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 policies that require significant judgments or estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The Company believes that, of its significant accounting policies and estimates, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity. Sales incentives and discounts – The Company sells its boats through its network of independent dealers and recognizes the revenues its customers based on from contracts with consideration received in exchange for the goods sold. 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 estimate incentive payments of the Company, the volume and timing of inventory financed by specific dealers, and the identification of boats sold subject to certain incentives. Settlement of the incentives generally occurs from three to twelve months after the sale. The Company regularly analyzes the historical incentive trends and adjusts 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 5.6 percent in 2022, 5.8 percent in 2021, and 6.7 percent in 2020. A 0.25 percentage point change in cost of incentives as a percentage of gross sales during 2022 would have increased or decreased net sales, gross margin and operating income by approximately $0.8 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 1.5 percent in 2022, 1.2 percent in 2021 and 2020. A 0.10 percentage point increase in the estimated warranty expense as a percentage of net sales during 2022 would have increased selling, general and administrative expenses and reduced operating income by approximately $0.4 million.

ITEM 7.A. 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 investments primarily in money market funds which are not subject to material interest rate risk exposure. Marine Products does not expect any material changes in market risk exposures or how those risks are managed. 3 0 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 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, 2022 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, 2022. The independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, has audited the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, and has also issued their report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, included in this report on page 32.

Schmit Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 3 1 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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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, 2022, and our report dated February 27, 2023 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. GRANT THORNTON LLP Atlanta, Georgia February 27, 2023  3 2 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Marine Products Corporation OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Marine Products Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedule included under Item 15(2) (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, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in 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, 2022, 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 27, 2023 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 regarding 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. CRITICAL AUDIT MATTER The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. WARRANTY LIABILITY As described further in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company provides a lifetime limited structural hull warranty, a five-year structural deck warranty, and a one-year limited warranty to the original owner for all boats sold to dealers. The estimated cost of warranty claims is recorded by the Company at the time of the boat sale based on historical claims experience and may subsequently be adjusted based on items such as production quality. We identified the warranty liability ("warranty") as a critical audit matter. The principal consideration for our determination that warranty is a critical audit matter is that the warranty liability has a higher degree of estimation uncertainty related to the estimation of anticipated future warranty claims. The estimation uncertainty and subjectivity in determining the liability resulted in the need for significant auditor judgement when assessing the reasonableness of the inputs and assumptions utilized by the Company. Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 3 3 Our audit procedures related to this matter included the following, among others. > We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s warranty liability estimation process. For example, we tested controls over the development of the assumptions and the verification of the completeness and accuracy of the information used in developing the warranty liability. > We tested the process used to develop the estimate using information related to recent production trends and the historical experience of the Company. > We compared the Company’s prior year warranty liability related to anticipated claims in the current year to actual claims paid in the current year to evaluate the historical accuracy of the Company’s estimate. GRANT THORNTON LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2004.

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”, “MPC” or the “Company”). 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 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 10 percent or more of net sales during 2022, 2021 or 2020. Net sales to the Company’s international dealers were approximately $25.6 million in 2022, $15.9 million in 2021, and $11.8 million in 2020. 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, 2022, 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 24, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.14 per share payable March 10, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 10, 2023. Subject to industry conditions and Marine Products’ 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, sales incentives and discounts, and warranty costs. Sales Recognition Marine Products recognizes revenues from contracts with its customers based on the amount of consideration it receives in exchange for the goods sold. See Note 2: Net Sales for additional information. 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. The Company had prepaid expenses related to unamortized product brochure costs of $194,000 as of December 31, 2022 and $132,000 as of December 31, 2021. Advertising expenses totaled approximately $2,147,000 in 2022, $1,645,000 in 2021 and $2,013,000 in 2020 and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. 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. MPC maintains cash equivalents and investments in one or more large financial institutions, and MPC’s policy restricts investment in any securities rated less than “investment grade” by national rating services. Accounts Receivable The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from dealers located in markets throughout the United States. Approximately 58 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 4 0 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 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 credit loss allowance 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, 2022 and 2021. 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 indefinite – lived 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, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Investments The Company maintains certain securities in the non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan that have been classified as trading. See Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans for further information regarding these securities. 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, 2022 and 2021 is as follows: (in thousands) 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of year $ 4,641 $ 5,030 Less: Payments made during the year (4,845) (4,091) Add: Warranty provision for the current year Changes to warranty provision for prior years 5,737 3,817 166 (115) Balance at end of year $ 5,699 $ 4,641 Insurance Accruals The Company fully insures its risks related to general liability, product liability and vehicle liability, whereas the health insurance plan up to a maximum annual claim amount for each covered employee and related dependents and workers’ compensation are self-funded. 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 $437,000 in 2022, $776,000 in 2021, and $751,000 in 2020. 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 can be reasonably estimated. Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 4 1 Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 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 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. Leases The Company determines at contract inception, if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease based on whether the Company obtains the right to control the use of specifically identifiable property, plant and equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has elected not to separate non-lease components from lease components for its leases. Variable lease payments are recognized as expense when incurred. Retirement Income Plan (“Plan”) Marine Products participates in the tax-qualified, defined benefit, noncontributory, trusteed retirement income plan sponsored by RPC, Inc. (“RPC”) that provides monthly benefits upon normal retirement at age 65, or reduced early retirement benefits at age 59 ½ or at age 55 or older with 15 or more years of service, to substantially all employees with at least one year of service prior to 2002. In 2002, RPC’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to cease all future retirement benefit accruals under the defined benefit pension plan. During 2021, the Company initiated actions to terminate the defined benefit pension plan. See Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans for a full description and status of this plan and the related accounting and funding policies. 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 12: Employee Benefit Plans 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 12: Employee Benefit Plans for further information on restricted stock granted to employees. Restricted shares of common stock (participating securities) outstanding and a reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as follows: (in thousands) Net income available for stockholders: 2022 2021 2020 $ 40,347 $ 29,026 $ 19,444 Less: Adjustments for earnings attributable to participating securities (858) (566) (416) Net income used in calculating earnings per share $ 39,489 $ 28,460 $ 19,028 Weighted average shares outstanding (including participating securities) Adjustment for participating securities Shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share 34,183 (743) 33,440 33,984 (672) 33,312 33,926 (734) 33,192 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 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 10: Fair Value Measurements 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 The FASB issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”s): Recently Adopted Accounting Standards ASU No. 2020-04 — Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): The amendments in this ASU provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the impact of the reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments, which are elective, provide expedients to contract modifications, affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The Company adopted these provisions in the second quarter of 2022 and expects to replace LIBOR, currently used to accrue interest in its revolving credit agreement, with the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based on the occurrence of any of the triggering events in the agreement. Adoption of these provisions did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 4 2 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted ASU No. 2021-08 — Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU address diversity in practice related to the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination, by adopting guidance requiring an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer would recognize and measure the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities in the same manner that they were recognized and measured in the acquiree's financial statements before the acquisition. The Company plans to adopt these provisions prospectively to business combinations occurring after January 1, 2023 and does not expect adoption to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2: NET SALES Accounting Policy MPC’s contract revenues are generated principally from selling: (1) fiberglass motorized boats and accessories and (2) parts to independent dealers. Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Satisfaction of contract terms occur with the transfer of title of our boats, accessories, and parts to our dealers. Net sales are measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the goods to the dealer. The amount of consideration we expect to receive consists of the sales price adjusted for dealer incentives. The expected costs associated with our base warranties continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold as they are deemed to be assurance-type warranties (see Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies). Incidental promotional items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. 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. Nature of Goods MPC’s performance obligations within its contracts consists of: (1) boats and accessories and (2) parts. The Company transfers control and recognizes revenue on the satisfaction of its performance obligations (point in time) as follows: > Boats and accessories (domestic sales) — upon delivery and acceptance by the dealer. > Boats and accessories (international sales) — upon delivery to shipping port. > Parts – upon shipment/delivery to carrier. Payment Terms For most domestic customers, MPC manufactures and delivers boats and accessories and parts ahead of payment — i.e., MPC has fulfilled its performance obligations prior to submitting an invoice to the dealer. MPC invoices the customer when the products are delivered and receives the related compensation, typically within seven to ten business days after invoicing. For some domestic customers and all international customers, MPC requires payment Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data prior to transferring control of the goods. These amounts are classified as deferred revenue and recognized when control has transferred, which generally occurs within three months of receiving the payment. When the Company enters into contracts with its customers, it generally expects there to be no significant timing difference between the date the goods have been delivered to the customer (satisfaction of the performance obligation) and the date cash consideration is received. Accordingly, there is no financing component to the Company’s arrangements with its customers. Significant Judgments Determining the transaction price — The transaction price for MPC’s boats and accessories is the invoice price adjusted for dealer incentives. Key inputs and assumptions utilized in determining variable consideration related to dealer incentives include: > Inputs: Current model year boat sales, total potential program incentive percentage, prior model year results of dealer incentive activity (i.e., incentive earned as a percentage of total incentive potential). > Assumption: Current model year incentive activity will closely reflect prior model year actual results, adjusted as necessary for dealer purchasing trends or economic factors. Other — Our contracts with dealers do not provide them with a right of return. Accordingly, we do not have any obligations recorded for returns or refunds.

The agreement includes (i) a $5 million sublimit for swingline loans, (ii) a $2.5 million aggregate sublimit for all letters of credit, and (iii) a committed accordion which can increase the aggregate commitments by the greater of $35 million and EBITDA over the most recently completed twelve month period at the time of incurrence. The facility is secured by a first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all personal property of MPC and the guarantors including, without limitation, all accounts, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, goods, documents, contracts, trademarks, patents, copyrights, intercompany obligations, stock, securities and notes owned by borrower or any guarantor. The agreement will terminate on November 12, 2026. Revolving borrowings under the agreement will accrue interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus the applicable percentage, as defined. The applicable percentage will be between 150 and 250 basis points for all loans based on MPC’s net leverage ratio. In addition, the Company pays facility fees under the agreement ranging from 25 to 45 basis points, based on MPC’s net leverage ratio, on the unused revolving commitment. The credit agreement contains certain financial covenants including: (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 2.50:1.00 and (ii) a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25:1.00 both determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Additionally, the agreement contains customary covenants including affirmative and negative covenants and events of default (each with customary exceptions, thresholds and exclusions). As of December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The Company has incurred total loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with this revolving credit facility in the aggregate of $195,000 in 2022. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan, and the remaining net balance is classified as part of non-current other assets. As of December 31, 2022, MPC had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Interest incurred, which includes facility fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and the amortization of loan costs, on the credit facility were $90,000 in 2022 and $10,000 in 2021. Interest paid was $32,000 in 2022 and there were no payments made in 2021. NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES The following table lists the components of the provision for income taxes: (in thousands) Current provision: Federal State Deferred (benefit) provision: Federal State Total income tax provision 2022 2021 2020 $ 12,225 $ 1,360 $ 7,176 346 4,741 582 (1,687) (111) (248) 108 (410) 99 $ 11,787 $ 7,382 $ 5,012 A reconciliation between the federal statutory rate and Marine Products’ effective tax rate is as follows: Federal statutory rate State income taxes, net of federal benefit Research and experimentation credit Non-deductible expenses Change in contingencies Adjustments related to vesting of restricted stock Other 2022 21.0% 2021 21.0% 2020 21.0% 1.3 (0.7) 0.3 0.8 (0.1) — 0.9 (0.9) (0.8) 0.4 (1.0) 0.7 1.4 (1.5) 0.1 0.1 (1.5) 0.9 Effective tax rate 22.6% 20.3% 20.5% Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: (in thousands) December 31, Deferred tax assets: Warranty costs Stock-based compensation Pension State NOL’s Capitalized research and development All others, net Total deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities: 2022 2021 $ 1,254 $ 866 3,099 221 1,300 789 7,529 1,021 780 3,196 283 — 589 5,869 Depreciation and amortization expense Basis differences in joint venture (1,092) (410) (1,033) (444) Net deferred tax assets $ 6,027 $ 4,392 Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Total net income tax payments were $13,022,000 in 2022, $7,493,000 in 2021, and $4,099,000 in 2020. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards related to state income taxes of approximately $4.6 million (gross) that will expire between 2030 and 2034. The Company does not have a valuation allowance related to net operating loss carryforwards due to implemented tax planning strategies. 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, 2022 and 2021. During 2022, the Company recognized an increase in its liability for unrecognized tax benefits related primarily to prior year positions and disclosed as part of other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. This liability, if released, would affect our effective rate. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: (in thousands) 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of the year $ 539 $ 401 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year Additions for tax positions of prior years 393 126 32 106 Balance at end of the year $ 1,058 $ 539 It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefits with respect to the Company’s 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, or conclusions of ongoing examinations or reviews. 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, the uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain open and subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. In general, the Company’s 2019 through 2021 tax years remain open to examination. Additional years may be open to the extent attributes are being carried forward to an open year. NOTE 9: ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS Accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of changes related to the pension plan for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 as follows: (in thousands) 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of the year $ (2,576) $ (1,947) Change during the year: Before-tax amount Tax benefit Reclassification adjustment, net of taxes Amortization of net loss Total activity in the year 632 (139) 88 581 (879) 193 57 (629) Balance at end of the year $ (1,995) $ (2,576) Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 4 5 Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 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. 2. Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 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. There are no available- for-sale securities held as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. Trading securities are comprised of SERP assets, as described in Note 12, 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. The expected holding period for these assets measured at net asset value is unknown. Trading securities were $9,881,000 as of December 31, 2022 and $12,264,000 as of December 31, 2021. 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, 2022 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 11: 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. The Company had no repurchases of dealer inventory under contractual agreements during 2022 and 2021 as a result of dealer defaults. 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, subject to a minimum of $8.0 million, is based on a specified percentage of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our dealers less repurchases during the prior 12 month period, which was $8.0 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $4.3 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year. Accordingly, the aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions was approximately $12.3 million as of December 31, 2022. This repurchase obligation risk is mitigated by the value of the boat repurchased. 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 $1,058,000 as of December 31, 2022 compared to $539,000 as of December 31, 2021. Employment Agreement – The Company has a contractual agreement with one employee, that provides for a monthly payment to the employee equal to a percentage of profits (defined as pretax income before goodwill adjustments and certain allocated corporate expenses) in addition to a base salary. As of June 1, 2022, this agreement was revised to seven percent of profits, as defined, compared to ten percent of profits in the prior periods. The expense in connection with this employment agreement was approximately $5,508,000 in 2022, $4,765,000 in 2021 and $3,586,000 in 2020 and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. NOTE 12: 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 $7.1 million as 4 6 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of December 31, 2022 and $9.7 million as of December 31, 2021. 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 $9,881,000 as of December 31, 2022 and $12,264,000 as of December 31, 2021. The SERP assets are reported in other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and changes to the fair value of the assets are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Trading (losses) gains related to the SERP assets totaled $(2,383,000) in 2022, $1,643,000 in 2021 and $906,000 in 2020. The SERP liabilities include participant deferrals net of distributions and are stated at a fair value of $14,440,000 as of December 31, 2022 and $15,564,000 as of December 31, 2021. The SERP liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets in long-term pension liabilities and any change in the fair value is recorded as compensation cost within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities represented unrealized (losses) gains of $(2,315,000) in 2022, and $1,647,000 in 2021 and $1,395,000 in 2020. Retirement Income Plan (“Plan”) Marine Products participates in the tax-qualified, defined benefit, noncontributory, trusteed retirement income plan sponsored by RPC that covers substantially all employees with at least one year of service prior to 2002. During 2021, the Company initiated actions to terminate the defined benefit pension plan and as such, the year-end pension obligation has been valued on a termination basis. As part of the termination process, the Company offered a lump-sum window in the fourth quarter of 2022 and used the following assumptions to calculate the projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2022 - (i) updated census data and removed participants who elected to receive a lump-sum during the lump-sum window; (ii) annuities to be purchased for all remaining participants effective March 1, 2023 and (iii) using appropriate discount rates and mortality tables for participants depending on their pay status. We do not currently expect the Company to make any contributions to the Plan in 2023. A $1.2 million settlement loss representing the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2022 and is recorded as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company expects to recognize a pre-tax, non-cash settlement charge representing the unamortized net loss in the Plan which was approximately $2.6 million as of December 31, 2022. The final amount is subject to change based on the actual return on plan assets and the periodic actuarial updates of the net losses in the Plan. For the year ending December 31, 2022, the Company has utilized an expected return on plan assets of zero percent based on the current short-term rates and investment horizon as a result of the expected Plan termination. Subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Company completed an annuity purchase to transfer risk from the Plan to a commercial annuity provider for all of the remaining Plan participants through the liquidation of its investments in the Plan. The Company’s fair value of the plan assets exceeded the projected benefit obligation for its Plan by $356,000 and thus the Plan was over-funded as of December 31, 2022. The following table sets forth the funded status of the Plan and the amounts recognized in Marine Products’ consolidated balance sheets: (in thousands) December 31, Accumulated benefit obligation at end of year Change in projected benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year Service cost Interest cost Actuarial loss Benefits paid Settlement Projected benefit obligation at end of year Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year Actual return on plan assets Benefits paid Settlements Fair value of plan assets at end of year Funded status at end of year 2022 3,146 $ $ 5,832 — 133 (1,045) (322) (1,452) $ 3,146 $ 6,870 (1,594) (322) (1,452) 3,502 356 $ $ 2021 5,832 5,576 — 147 347 (238) — 5,832 7,351 (243) (238) — 6,870 1,038 $ $ $ $ $ $ Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 4 7 Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (in thousands) December 31, Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets consist of: Pension plan assets Noncurrent other assets 2022 356 — 356 $ $ 2021 — 1,038 1,038 $ $ The funded status of the Plan was recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in pension plan assets as of both December 31, 2022 and other noncurrents assets as of December 31, 2021.

The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for this qualified plan. As part of the plan termination, the Company expects to recognize a non-cash settlement charge for the remaining balance in the accumulated other comprehensive loss at that time. Amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as pension liabilities consist of: (in thousands) December 31, SERP liability 2022 2021 $ (14,440) $ (15,564) Marine Products’ funding policy is to contribute to the Plan the amount required, if any, under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Company did not contribute to the plan in 2022 and 2021. The components of net periodic benefit cost of the Plan are summarized as follows: (in thousands) Service cost for benefits earned during the period $ $ 2022 — 133 — 113 1,180 $ 1,426 $ 2021 — 147 (289) 73 — (69) 2020 — 230 (292) 98 647 683 $ $ Interest cost Expected return on plan assets Amortization of net losses Settlement loss Net periodic cost (benefit) The Company recognized pre-tax decreases to the funded status in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $(744,000) in 2022, $806,000 in 2021 and $(899,000) in 2020. There were no previously unrecognized prior service costs during 2022, 2021 and 2020. Non- cash settlement charges shown above represent the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses previously reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the lump-sum window offered in each of the years. The pre-tax amounts recognized in other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are summarized as follows: (in thousands) Net loss (gain) Amortization of net loss Settlement loss $ 2022 549 (113) (1,180) Amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) $ (744) 2021 879 (73) — 806 $ $ 2020 (154) (98) (647) (899) $ $ 4 8 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The weighted average assumptions as of December 31 used to determine the projected benefit obligation and net benefit cost were as follows: December 31, Projected Benefit Obligation: Discount rate Rate of compensation increase Net Benefit Cost: Discount rate Expected return on plan assets Rate of compensation increase 2022 2021 2020 Note (1) N/A Note (1) —% N/A Note (1) N/A 2.70% 4.00% N/A 2.70% N/A 3.70% 4.00% N/A (1) Projected benefit obligation as of December 31, 2022 reflects proposed termination of the Plan and is calculated based on various assumptions in accordance with the Plan agreement. The plan’s weighted average asset allocation at December 31, 2022 and 2021 by asset category along with the target allocation for 2023 are as follows: Asset Category Cash and cash equivalents Fixed income securities Total Target Allocation for 2023 0% - 5% 15% - 100% Percentage of Plan Assets as of December 31 2022 3.7% 96.3 100.0% 2021 1.4% 98.6 100.0% The Company’s Plan investments consist primarily of fixed-income securities that include corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, sovereign bonds, and U.S. Treasuries. For each of the asset categories in the Plan, the investment strategy is intended to minimize the level of risk as compared to the Plan’s liability and to minimize the cost of providing pension benefits. The investment policy establishes a target allocation for each asset class which is rebalanced as required. While not limited in approach, the Plan utilizes fixed income funds in which the underlying securities are marketable, to achieve this target allocation. The Company’s investments consist primarily of fixed-income securities that include corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, sovereign bonds, and U.S. Treasuries. 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 while minimizing the level of risk 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 fixed income funds in which the underlying securities are marketable, to achieve this target allocation. The following tables present our plan assets using the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. See Note 10: Fair Value Measurements for a brief description of the three levels under the fair value hierarchy.

Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K 4 9 Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data The Company estimates that the future benefits payable for the Plan are as follows: (in thousands) 2023 401(k) Plan $ 3,171 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. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company began matching 100 percent of employee’s contributions for each dollar of a participant’s contribution to the 401(k) Plan for the first three percent of his or her annual compensation, and fifty percent for each dollar of a participant’s contribution to the 401(k) Plan for the next three percent of his or her annual compensation. Employees vest in the Company’s contributions after two years of service. The charges to expense for Marine Products’ contributions to the 401(k) plan were $1,170,000 in 2022, $976,000 in 2021 and $603,000 in 2020. Stock Incentive Plans 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, 2022, there were 1,095,547 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. Pre-tax stock-based employee compensation expense was approximately $2,707,000 ($2,111,000 after tax) for 2022, $2,289,000 ($1,785,000 after tax) for 2021, and $3,102,000 (2,420,000 after tax) for 2020. We have not issued any stock options since 2003 and have no immediate plans to issue additional stock options. Restricted Stock Marine Products grants selected employees and directors 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 time lapse restricted shares granted by the Company in 2023 will vest ratably over a period of four years and the shares granted in 2022 will vest ratably over a period of five years. Prior to 2022, the time lapse restricted shares vested one-fifth per year beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. 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 following is a summary of the changes in non-vested restricted shares for the year ended December 31, 2022: Non-vested shares at January 1, 2022 Granted Vested Forfeited Non-vested shares at December 31, 2022 Shares 671,370 311,703 (193,403) (25,500) 764,170 The following is a summary of the changes in non-vested restricted shares for the year ended December 31, 2021: Non-vested shares at January 1, 2021 Granted Vested Forfeited Non-vested shares at December 31, 2021 5 0 Marine Products Corporation 2022 10-K Shares 678,220 189,750 (194,800) (1,800) 671,370 Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value $ 14.70 11.61 11.96 14.11 $ 14.15 Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value $ 12.89 16.55 10.25 11.76 $ 14.70 Part II Item 8. — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 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.

NOTE 13: 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 $922,000 in 2022, $867,000 in 2021, and $846,000 in 2020. The Company’s payable to RPC for these services was $26,000 as of December 31, 2022 and $87,000 as of December 31, 2021. Many of the Company’s directors are also directors of RPC and 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 was funded primarily by a $2,554,000 contribution by each company to 255 RC, LLC. Each of RPC and Marine Products is currently a party to an operating lease agreement with 255 RC, LLC for a period of five years. Marine Products recorded certain net operating costs comprised of rent and an allocable share of fixed costs of $160,000 in 2022, $160,000 in 2021 and $160,000 2020 for the corporate aircraft. The Company has a payable to 255 RC LLC of $1.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and $1.4 million as of December 31, 2021. 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, 2022, the investment closely approximates the underlying equity in the net assets of 255 RC, LLC and the undistributed earnings represented in retained earnings was approximately $580,000. A group that includes Gary W. Rollins, Pamela R. Rollins, Amy Rollins Kreisler and Timothy C. Rollins, each of whom is a director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of fifty percent of the Company’s voting power. NOTE 14: LEASES The Company recognizes leases with a duration greater than 12 months on the balance sheet with a Right-Of-Use (“ROU”) asset and liability at the present value of lease payments over the term. Renewal options are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. There are no residual value guarantees on the existing leases. The Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate, at lease commencement, to determine the present value of lease payments, since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return. ROU assets exclude lessor incentives received. The Company’s lease population consists primarily of office equipment. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into new leases or modified existing leases that resulted in an increase of ROU assets in exchange for operating lease liabilities as disclosed below. leases. As of The Company does not have any finance December 31, 2022, the Company had no operating leases that had not yet commenced.
