Valcourt, Quebec, August 30, 2018 – BRP Inc. (TSX:DOO) today reported its financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended July 31, 2018.

"We outpaced the North American powersports industry with 16% growth in retail this quarter. Our Side-by-Side vehicle retail growth continued to be robust and with the great summer weve had, our Sea-Doo PWC retail was very strong in all markets. Based on the solid first half of the year and a positive outlook for the remaining six months, we are comfortable increasing our guidance with a normalized EPS growth rate of 30% to 35% for FY19, despite inflationary and other headwinds, said José Boisjoli, president and CEO.
Boisjoli added, "We are now in the fourth year of our 2020 challenge, and the alignment of the BRP team around our Growth, Agility and Lean objectives is well-demonstrated by the healthy results we are delivering. Given this momentum, we expect to achieve our objective to deliver at least $3.50 of normalized EPS in FY20, one year earlier than initially planned.
