Gross profit fell 19.3% to $17.536m, with gross margin narrowing to 24.6% from 32.4%, and operating profit declined 54.9% to about $5.3m. The company attributed this to the higher proportion of lower-margin trade-in/pre-owned boats and less favourable foreign exchange. It also reported a net order book of $144.7m as at 31 December 2025, compared with $156.6m at 30 June 2025. Earnings per share declined to 1.57 cents from 4.05 cents, whilst revenue rose 6.2% to $71.4m. Net cash used in operating activities was $14.2m for the period, compared with positive operating cash flow in the previous year, mainly due to higher working capital tied up in inventories. Inventories increased to $44.9m from $28.9m as at 30 June 2025, reflecting additional demonstration boats and trade-in or pre-owned vessels held for sale. Cash and fixed deposits stood at $24.161m as at 31 December 2025, whilst total borrowings were $10.6m and deferred consideration amounted to about $24.2m. An interim dividend of 0.5 cent per share was declared, payable on 27 March 2026. ### Related Stocks - [Grand Banks Yachts Limited (G50.SG)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/G50.SG.md) ## Related News & Research - [Three Chinese Ships 'Successfully' Make Strait of Hormuz Transit, Foreign Ministry Says](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281363134.md) - [S.Korea presidential policy adviser: expects FX rates to gradually stabilise](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281436965.md) - [Viking Announces Float Out of Newest Nile River Ships](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281374904.md) - [LNG tanker with a massive hole](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281510100.md) - [Saab AB Approves Dividend for the Year 2025, Payable on 10 April 2026 and on 9 October 2026](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281402391.md)
