Joe Altobello's questions to BRP Inc (DOOO) leadership • Q1 2026
Question
Martin Mitela, on behalf of Joe Altobello, asked about a proposed U.S. bill that would allow interest write-offs for products with final assembly in the U.S. and whether it would create a disadvantage for BRP.
Answer
CFO Sebastien Martel acknowledged the company is monitoring the bill, which has not yet been enacted. He pointed out potential limitations, such as income caps and usage of itemized deductions, that might reduce its impact. He also suggested that such a provision could be viewed as a subsidy and become a point of discussion in broader trade negotiations like the USMCA review.
