Rovaniemi, Finland, November 4, 2024 – BRP Inc. (TSX:DOO; NASDAQ:DOOO) celebrates today an important milestone in its history with the production of half a million snowmobiles on Finnish soil since 1993, in its Rovaniemi facility. This achievement not only reflects the success of its two flagship brands, Lynx and Ski-Doo, but also testifies to the expertise and know-how of BRP Finland’s close to 500 employees. The Company also announces that BRP Finland has now started to produce all of its electric snowmobiles for every BRP market worldwide, supporting the Company’s efforts to become a reference in electric recreational vehicles.

“Producing 500,000 snowmobiles in Finland is an accomplishment that I am very proud of. I want to thank BRP Finland’s employees for their dedication as well as their ability and willingness to foster a culture of continuous growth and innovation,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP. “Their deep understanding of the Scandinavian riding conditions have been key to the success of both Lynx and Ski-Doo which now have a combined market share of over 70% in Scandinavia, and over 80% in Finland. As a company, we have been investing and believing in the power of local expertise for over 35 years now, to meet and exceed the needs and expectations of our Scandinavian and worldwide customers.”

“As one of the largest powersports OEMs in Europe and the biggest private-sector employer in Rovaniemi, we are proud to be a leading business player in Scandinavia,” said Valto Ristimella, Commercial Director of BRP in Scandinavia. “With close to 500 dealers and distributors in EMEA, 150 dealers in Scandinavia, around 40 dealers in Finland, and products sold in over 15 countries worldwide, we can confidently say that BRP Finland's outreach now extends far beyond Scandinavia's borders!”

BRP Finland at the forefront of the Company’s electrification strategy

Today, the Rovaniemi site, one of BRP’s 14 manufacturing plants all over the world, plays a pivotal role in BRP's innovative and future-oriented production model and overall business strategy. As such, the Company announces that BRP Finland has now started to produce all of its electric snowmobiles for all its markets. Going electric is an example of BRP’s commitment to growing responsibly. This technological transition not only enables the Company to reduce its carbon footprint, it is also expected to represent a great business opportunity.

In the winter of 2023, BRP launched the very first electric models of its existing product lineup, the Ski-Doo Grand Touring Electric and the Lynx Adventure Electric, both dedicated exclusively to Uncharted Society, BRP’s global network of experience outfitters and tour operators. In February 2024, two additional electric snowmobiles designed for ski centers and resorts were unveiled, and they will also be available to consumers in winter 2024-25.
