Washingtoner/10311890

WASHINGTON, N.C. - Washingtoner -- Off The Hook YS Inc. (N Y S E American: OTH), one of America's largest buyers and sellers of pre-owned boats, is heading into year-end 2025 with accelerating momentum across its core business, a successful IPO behind it, and major new growth initiatives underway. With operations spanning the East Coast and South Florida, OTH acquires more than $100 million in boats and yachts each year and continues to scale its technology-driven platform to serve a U.S. marine industry valued at $57 billion.

Comprehensive New Research Coverage

On December 8, 2025, Digital BD Deep released an in-depth investor research report titled:
Off-The-Hook YS Digital Transformation and Margin Inflection in the Marine Industry – Structural Arbitrage in the Marine Liquidity Market.

The report profiles OTH's national presence, its role in the marine liquidity ecosystem, and its strategic expansion into luxury brokerage under the newly launched Autograph Yacht Group (AYG). It highlights OTH's growth initiatives, technology adoption, and positioning within a marine sector that remains highly fragmented and ripe for consolidation.

Upcoming Q3 Earnings Release and Conference Call

Investors will receive fresh insight into the company's financial performance when OTH reports its Q3 2025 results on Monday, December 15, 2025, after market close.

A live conference call will follow at 4:30 p.m. ET.

On December 1, the company reminded buyers of a powerful tax incentive now driving demand across the marine market. The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA), signed into law in July 2025, reinstated 100% bonus depreciation on qualifying business assets—including boats and yachts—through January 19, 2026.

Eligible buyers who use a vessel for more than 50% business purposes can deduct the full purchase price in year one, a catalyst that OTH believes will stimulate significant year-end and early-2026 activity.

"This incentive is a game-changer for anyone considering a boat purchase," said Jason Ruegg, Founder and President of OTH. "Our expanding brokerage team has already helped countless business owners identify qualifying vessels, and we expect demand to surge further."

Given its broad, all-brand inventory and national footprint, OTH is positioned to capture outsized benefit from this tax-driven buying window.

Expansion Into Luxury Brokerage: New Jupiter, Florida Headquarters

On November 25, OTH confirmed the development of a new office in Jupiter, Florida, which will serve as the headquarters for its luxury brokerage division, the Autograph Yacht Group (AYG). Led by industry veteran Mike Burke, AYG targets the high-end yacht market—a segment where Florida remains the nation's strongest hub.

The new location includes modern office space and six on-site slips for premium inventory. Build-out is underway, with completion expected in early 2026.

"The Jupiter location enhances our presence in one of the world's premier yachting markets," said Brian S. John, CEO of OTH. "It will serve both our leadership team and our expanding luxury brokerage division."

Successful IPO Supports Growth and Market Reach

On November 14, OTH completed its initial public offering of 3,750,000 shares at $4.00 per share, generating $15 million in gross proceeds. The company granted underwriters an additional 45-day option to purchase up to 562,500 shares to cover over-allotments.

Harnessing Technology and Data in a Traditionally Fragmented Market

Founded in 2012 by Jason Ruegg and headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina, OTH leverages AI-assisted valuation tools and a data-driven sales platform to streamline yacht transactions—a process historically known for opacity and slow negotiation cycles.

The company's multi-state network of offices and marinas supports brokerage, wholesale, and performance yacht sales, giving buyers and sellers access to one of the nation's broadest pre-owned inventories.

OTH has earned repeated recognition on the Inc. 500 and ranks among the Top 100 Dealers in the United States, reflecting both rapid growth and operational excellence.

Growth Outlook Beyond 2025

In addition to the $57 billion U.S. marine industry, OTH is positioned to benefit from adjacent markets. The U.S. Ship Repair and Maintenance Services Market, valued at $6.55 billion in 2025, is projected to nearly double to $11.72 billion by 2033 (7.52% CAGR). This long-term expansion provides a favorable backdrop for OTH's evolving service offerings and national footprint.
