The group says that its increase in revenue was largely driven by the sale of nine trade-in boats in FY2025, of which seven were sold in 2HFY2025 compared to none in FY2024. The growth in revenue was also driven by the sale of two pre-owned boats and two stock boats sold in 2HFY2025.
Grand Banks Yachts says that due to the large number of trade-in boat sales which typically have lower margins, higher production hours, higher material costs and weakening of the US dollar, gross profit for 2HFY2025 and FY2025 declined.
Meanwhile, total operating expenses increased 10.9% y-o-y to $23.9 million in line with higher revenue.
