COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 11: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lawsuits The Company is a defendant in certain lawsuits which allege that plaintiffs have been injured or incurred damages as a result of Company business activities or 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, in exchange for the Company’s assumption of the debt obligation on those boats, as contractually defined by each lender. The Company had no material repurchases of dealer inventory under contractual agreements during 2024 and 2023 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 is based on the highest of the following criteria: (i) a specified percentage of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our dealers, (ii) the total average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for our two highest dealers for the three highest monthly receivables balances during the past twelve months, or (iii) $8.0 million, less repurchases during the prior 12 month period. As defined by the agreement, the repurchase limit for this lender was $19.6 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $5.4 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year. Accordingly, the aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions was approximately $25.0 million as of December 31, 2024. This repurchase obligation risk is mitigated by the value of any boats repurchased. In 2024, the Company entered into a three-year floor plan financing agreement with a single third-party lender which will be phased in beginning in the first quarter of 2025 to replace a majority of the existing agreements with the current third-party lenders. The agreement is substantially similar to the current arrangements with the existing third-party floor plan lenders and provides for certain additional incentives to the Company and qualifying dealers over the term of the agreement. ​ 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. See the note titled Income Taxes for further information related to those liabilities. Short-Term Cash Incentive Compensation In addition to recording Short-Term Cash Incentive (“STCI”) compensation expense for executive officers, STCI expense has been recorded for certain non-executive employees based on a percentage of Pre-Tax Profit (“PTP incentive”), defined as pretax income before goodwill adjustments and certain allocated corporate expenses. Through the third quarter of 2023, this PTP incentive was 16% in the aggregate per year and was subject to either a contractual arrangement or a discretionary determination. The PTP incentive under a contractual agreement with one employee, in the amount of seven percent per year, was discontinued at the end of the third quarter of 2023. Effective October 1, 2023, the PTP incentive, subject to a discretionary determination, is nine percent in the aggregate per year for three employees. Total STCI expense for the reported years was as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
(in thousands) |  | ​ |  | 2024 |  | 2023 | ​ | 2022
STCI expense | ​ | ​ | ​ | $ | 2,698 | ​ | $ | 10,651 | ​ | $ | 12,039
​ These amounts are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
