OTH Share Buyback Plan
On January 8th OTH announced a share repurchase program for Company to repurchase up to $1.0 million of its outstanding OTH common stock from time to time. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company’s management at its discretion.
“Today’s stock price and market capitalization do not, in management’s view, fully reflect the underlying value of our business, our cash-generation potential, or the long-term opportunity we see ahead,” said Brian John, Chief Executive Officer of OTH. “We believe we are building a category-defining platform in the pre-owned boat market, powered by technology, inventory expertise, and a growing national footprint. This share repurchase authorization underscores our confidence in the Company’s strategy and our commitment to disciplined capital allocation on behalf of shareholders.”
OTH expects to fund repurchases from existing cash on hand and future cash flows. OTH will continue to prioritize investments that support profitable growth, including inventory expansion, technology initiatives, and strategic real estate and operational build-outs.
Substantial Q4 2025 Momentum in Luxury Yacht Sales for Autograph Yacht Group
On January 5th OTH announced strong fourth-quarter 2025 momentum at Autograph Yacht Group, the Company’s internally created luxury yacht brokerage division launched in October 2025.
In its first quarter of operations, OTH Autograph rapidly established traction in the upper end of the market focusing on yachts generally ranging from $500,000 to $20 million and up, while also strengthening the broader OTH platform through meaningful operational synergies with the Company’s AI-driven used-boat wholesale trading capabilities and Azure Funding, the Company’s marine finance division.
While traditional yacht brokerages typically cannot embrace trade-ins, Autograph Yacht Group does, powered by the OTH platform, a proprietary, industry-leading AI engine that supports Autograph’s brokerage operations, creating a clear competitive advantage. The system is designed to intelligently match buyers and sellers by analyzing client preferences, vessel data, market conditions, and transaction history which enhances deal velocity, pricing accuracy and overall client experience.

The OTH Autograph boutique brokerage model blends expert valuation, strategic marketing, and personalized service designed specifically for high-discretion clients seeking a more curated sales experience. OTH Autograph currently operates from waterfront offices in Jupiter and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, providing local expertise in one of the most active luxury boating corridors in the U.S.

Off The Hook Yachts Reminds Boat Buyers that the “One Big Beautiful Bill”
Reinstated 100% Bonus Depreciation for Boats Bought by January 19, 2026
On December 1st OTH reminded U.S. boat buyers that the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA), signed into law in July 2025, has reinstated 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying business assets—including boats and yachts—through January 19, 2026.
This powerful tax incentive allows eligible buyers to deduct the entire purchase price of a qualifying vessel in the first year it is placed into service, provided it is used more than 50% for legitimate business purposes. Together with aggressive year-end pricing and the unmatched OTH nationwide inventory, 2025–2026 represent a historic window of affordability for business buyers.
