BRP Inc. reported its second-quarter profit and revenue rose compared with a year ago, helped by solid consumer demand for its recreational vehicles.
The Ski-Doo and Sea-Doo maker says it earned $338.7 million or $4.26 per diluted share for the quarter ended July 31, up from $237.7 million or $2.94 per diluted share a year earlier.
Revenue for the quarter totalled $2.78 billion, up from $2.44 billion in the same quarter last year.
On a normalized basis, BRP says it earned $3.21 per diluted share in its most recent quarter, up from a normalized profit of $2.94 per diluted share a year earlier.
In its guidance, the company says it now expects normalized earnings for its full year in a range of $12.35 to $12.85 per diluted share, up from its earlier expectations for a range of $12.25 to $12.75 per diluted share.
BRP also updated its revenue guidance for its full year to forecast growth of seven to 10 per cent compared with its earlier expectations for growth of nine to 12 per cent.
