    Off The Hook Highlights Post-IPO Execution and First Quarter 2026 Progress

    Wilmington, NC, April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: OTH) (“Off The Hook Yachts” or “Off The Hook” or “the Company”), a vertically integrated, AI-powered marine marketplace and one of the largest buyers and sellers of used boats in the United States, today announced a corporate update highlighting its operational momentum in the first quarter of 2026.

    Following a record 2025 in which the Company generated $119.9 million in revenue, Off The Hook has entered 2026 with continued momentum as it executes on its strategy to scale its platform through increased inventory capacity, broker network expansion, and continued investment in infrastructure and technology.

    “We went public with a clear objective: to scale the business by increasing our buying power and expanding our salesforce,” said Brian John, Chief Executive Officer of Off The Hook Yachts. “In a short period of time, we have accomplished both, positioning the Company to accelerate growth across our platform.”

    Since its IPO, the Company has significantly expanded its inventory financing capacity, with its floorplan increasing to approximately $60 million, more than doubling from pre-IPO levels. In parallel, Off The Hook has rapidly expanded its broker network, more than doubling its salesforce, strengthening its ability to source inventory and transact across a broader national footprint.

    These foundational investments have been complemented by continued expansion across the Company’s platform. Off The Hook expanded its national footprint through strategic partnerships and market entry initiatives, including expansion into the Great Lakes, Caribbean, and Latin American markets, increasing access to high-quality inventory and supporting its asset-light growth model.

    The Company has also continued to build momentum within Autograph Yacht Group, its luxury brokerage division. Since launching on September 1, 2025, Autograph has facilitated the sale of 46 boats totaling approximately $81 million in gross transaction value, including 10 company-owned vessels representing $13.2 million. The remaining transaction volume was generated through third-party brokerage activity, for which the Company recognizes commission revenue. In December alone, Autograph recorded 12 brokerage transactions totaling $27.4 million in gross proceeds, reflecting strong early traction and increasing client demand. This performance highlights the strategic role of Autograph Yacht Group in driving higher-value transactions while also supporting the Company’s broader model of sourcing, owning, and reselling select inventory to enhance revenue and profitability.

    Off The Hook has further strengthened its operating infrastructure through targeted investments and acquisitions. The pending acquisition of Apex Marine Group is expected to add four strategically located South Florida service and storage facilities, a full-service team, and in-house refurbishment capabilities, enabling the Company to process a significant portion of its inventory internally. These capabilities are expected to reduce third-party service costs, accelerate turnaround times, and improve overall operational efficiency.

    In addition, the Company established a Mid-Atlantic operational hub through the March 2026 acquisition of a strategic waterfront facility on the Chesapeake Bay, enhancing its logistics, storage, and inventory management capabilities in a key regional market.

    The Company also further expanded its South Florida presence with the opening of an additional office in Jupiter, supporting the continued growth of its brokerage operations in one of the most active marine markets in the United States.

    Off The Hook continues to invest in its proprietary technology platform, which remains central to its operating model. Built on more than a decade of transaction data, the Company’s AI-driven system is designed to improve pricing accuracy, enhance buyer-seller matching, and increase transaction efficiency across its ecosystem. In March 2026, the Company introduced NextBoat AI, a consumer-facing extension of its platform that leverages proprietary data, including off-market opportunities and real-time inventory, to help buyers identify and acquire vessels more efficiently. By aligning buyer intent with both visible and non-visible supply, the platform is designed to enhance marketplace liquidity and further accelerate transaction activity across the network.

    “We are building a platform designed to scale efficiently and capture a larger share of a highly fragmented market,” John added. “The progress we’ve made since our IPO reinforces our confidence in our strategy and in our ability to deliver sustained growth over the long term.”

The content is not intended for children, seniors, retirement accounts, or individuals with limited experience in securities trading. These communications are not intended to guide investment for long-term portfolio management or financial planning purposes.

    Relqo Media LLC does not, and has not, independently verified, investigated, audited, or substantiated any statements, representations, or claims made by the featured company, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, press releases, marketing materials, or any third-party sources.

    Any and all information regarding Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: OTH), including but not limited to business descriptions, operating updates, acquisitions, revenue projections, financing arrangements, partnerships, inventory growth, expansion plans, or strategic plans, should be assumed to be unverified, unaudited, incomplete, potentially inaccurate, and subject to change without notice.

    We make no warranties or representations as to the truthfulness, accuracy, reliability, or completeness of such information, and you should not interpret our publication of these statements as an endorsement or confirmation of their validity.

    You should not rely on any company provided claims, projections, or forward looking statements for the purpose of making an investment decision. All such statements may be speculative, overstated, selectively presented, or based on assumptions that may never materialize.

    If you choose to invest, you do so entirely at your own risk, and you should conduct thorough, independent due diligence, including reviewing SEC filings, consulting licensed investment professionals, and obtaining independent verification of any material facts, before making any investment decision.

    5. MARKET INFLUENCE AND TRADING PATTERN EXPECTATION

    Historically, promotional campaigns for microcap and small-cap securities, particularly those driven by paid advertising, often cause temporary, artificial, and unsustainable increases in share price and trading volume. These movements are typically fueled by short-term speculative interest, promotional circulation, algorithmic trading activity, and momentum-based retail buying rather than any change in the underlying business, operations, or financial condition of the company.

    You should assume and expect that:

    • OTH's share price may experience sharp, rapid, and potentially extreme increases during the period of active promotion;
    • Trading volume may spike dramatically due to speculative buying pressure, news catalysts amplified by promotional activity, and social media or online forum chatter;
    • Once buying interest subsides, selling begins, or the promotion ends, which may occur suddenly and without notice, the share price may decline precipitously, potentially returning to pre-promotion levels or lower, often within days or even hours; and
    • These price and volume movements are not reflective of intrinsic value and may have no correlation to the company's actual fundamentals or long-term business prospects.

    Past market behavior shows that such promotional price spikes are frequently followed by steep losses, which can be rapid and irreversible. If you purchase shares during or shortly after a promotional period, you should be prepared for the high probability of losing a substantial portion, or all, of your investment.

    By engaging with our content, you acknowledge and agree that you fully understand the speculative, volatile, and high-risk nature of securities subject to promotional activity, and you will not hold Relqo Media LLC responsible for any losses resulting from such trading patterns.
