The Floridant/10333150

WILMINGTON, N.C. - Floridant -- Off The Hook YS, Inc. (N Y S E American: OTH) is rapidly emerging as a high-growth, tech-enabled leader in the fragmented and highly lucrative pre-owned boat market. With a powerful combination of proprietary AI technology, aggressive acquisition strategy, and expanding global footprint, OTH is positioning itself for accelerated revenue growth and market dominance in 2026 and beyond.

AI-Powered Disruption: NextBoat Set to Transform Marine Transactions

At the center of OTH's growth thesis is the launch of NextBoat AI, an industry-first platform designed to eliminate inefficiencies in boat buying and selling. Built on years of proprietary transaction data and refined across thousands of deals, this platform enables faster, smarter, and more accurate vessel matching.

Debuting at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, NextBoat AI directly addresses fragmented inventory discovery and slow transaction cycles—two of the biggest pain points in the marine industry. This innovation positions OTH not just as a dealer, but as a technology disruptor with scalable potential.

Strong Financial Momentum with Clear Line of Sight to Growth

$OTH financial trajectory underscores its bullish outlook:

• 2026 projected revenue: $140M–$145M
• Over $100M in boats acquired annually
• $82.6M revenue in first 9 months of 2025 (+19.3% YoY)
• $60M inventory financing capacity fueling expansion

The company's vertically integrated model—combining brokerage, wholesale, financing, and AI-driven sales—creates multiple revenue streams and margin expansion opportunities.

Strategic Acquisitions Driving Scale and Efficiency

OTH is executing a disciplined roll-up strategy to consolidate market share and improve operational leverage:

• APEX Marine acquisition (pending): Adds four South Florida facilities, in-house refurbishment, and global buyer access
• Chesapeake Bay waterfront hub: Eliminates costly third-party storage while boosting inventory velocity and margins
• Luxury brokerage division: Already secured $100M in listings and closed $35M in deals since launch

These moves significantly enhance OTH's ability to control inventory, reduce costs, and increase transaction speed.

Expanding Geographic Reach Unlocks New Markets

Through strategic partnerships, OTH is rapidly extending its footprint without heavy infrastructure costs:

• Jefferson Beach Yacht Sales: Opens Great Lakes and Florida markets with high-volume trade flow
• CFR Yacht Sales (Puerto Rico): Launches Caribbean and Latin America expansion

This asset-light expansion model allows OTH to scale nationally and internationally while maintaining operational efficiency.

Shareholder Value Front and Center

Management is reinforcing confidence with capital allocation strategies designed to reward investors:

• $1 million share repurchase program
• Think Equity price target: $10 per share
• Continued investment in high-ROI growth initiatives

This dual focus on growth and shareholder returns strengthens the overall investment case.
