There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

It is great to see BRP have a good year. This means that they are likely to continue to make, support and develop the products we love. Like many others in this industry BRP has had some very hard years. Instead of cutting back, BRP continued to innovate and introduce new products.
Plants in Mexico are for ATV, Side by Side ans Sea-Doo. Ski-Doo and Spyder are still built in Valcourt (Quebec).

Don't think they should be so quick to brag about earning 70 million while under investigation for shirking responsibility for fixing dangerous product they already sold and have not fixed. The NHTSA can read too. They are going to need to spend some of that to fix what they already sold or buy it back.

Let's put some context to the press release. It is not bragging the press release is required by law for publicly traded companies to announce the financial results. The preamble to the actual numbers is alway spun in way to make it sound the best that it can. No matter what company it is. It was published on Feb 1st. It was a big disappointment to analysts and investors. For the next 10 days the stock price continued its trend to make all time lows. Currently the stock price is a little higher but still at disappointedly low levels.

Who'd have ever thought it possible to call 70 million dollars a disappointment? :shocked:
If they don't want it...

I will leave the dice and slice to other experts. Glad to hear they made some bucks. 70 million to a corporation like BRP is not a really, really big number. However, if they don't want it I will happy take some. :roflblack:
And yes, I helped with the number. Your welcome. :yes:

The stock has only been listed for a little over a year so all time lows mean little. There is no history. It was privately held before being listed. They only raised 254 million on the IPO so in perspective 70 mil isn't that bad.

Valcourt, Québec, March 27, 2015 [FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]— BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) today reported its financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended January 31, 2015. All financial information is in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted. The complete financial results are available at www.sedar.com[/FONT][/FONT].
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]"We grew sales in all four product categories, grew revenues in international markets despite the situation in Russia and exceeded our objective for new dealers. We also launched several market-shaping products with significant volume potential and the consumer reaction so far is very promising," said José Boisjoli, president and CEO. "All in all, we had challenges throughout Fiscal Year 2015 but we stayed the course, executed on our plan and delivered solid results."
Commenting on the outlook, Boisjoli added: "We are introducing our guidance for Fiscal Year 2016 with continued revenues and EBITDA growth, mitigated by an assumption of a reduction in sales from Russia when compared to Fiscal Year 2015. The construction of our new plant in Mexico is progressing well and production is still expected to start in the back-end of Fiscal Year

I don't think it's bragging either and yes they have to post their earnings.
I'd much rather hear that they actually made some money than that they are tanking.

254 million is not the market cap of the company. Only a part of the company sold into the market on the IPO in May of 2013, at the issue price of 21.50. The market cap at the current stock price is about 940 million.
On revenue of of a little more than 3.5 billion, they made a net profit of 70 million. That's just under 2%
If you factor in the change in the US to Canadian dollar they would have barely broke even.

I like to see profits like any other business person, but... $70 million on $3.5 BILLION is 2%, pretty meager for a manufacturer of this size.
No..... At today exchange rate, it would be 56 millions US.

I'm glad they were in the black . . . hope they start doing better. I want BRP, and the Spyder, to be around for many, many years.
