Twin Vee PowerCats Co. (NASDAQ: VEEE) is a pioneering company based in Fort Pierce, Florida, renowned for designing, manufacturing, and marketing recreational and commercial power catamaran boats. Established in 1994, the company has built a solid reputation as one of the most recognizable brands in the catamaran sport boat segment, often celebrated for producing the 'Best Riding Boats on the Water.'
Formerly known as Valuerich, Inc., Twin Vee PowerCats Co. rebranded in April 2016 and has since expanded its operations to encompass three main segments: gas-powered boats, electric-powered boats (through its subsidiary Forza X1, Inc.), and a franchise segment for selling standardized boat models across the United States.
The company’s revenue primarily stems from the sale of boats, motors, and trailers via a network of independent dealers. Their product lineup caters to diverse activities, including fishing, diving, water skiing, eco-tours, and commercial transport. Recent achievements include the development of the second generation GFX-2 model line, featuring advanced design, styling, and technological innovations that set it apart from competitors.
Financially, Twin Vee PowerCats Co. reported a 4% increase in consolidated revenue for 2023, amounting to $33,425,912. Despite this, the company faced a consolidated net loss of $7,192,176, attributed to high development costs and market conditions. The electric boat segment, led by Forza X1, Inc., contributed significantly to these losses but remains a cornerstone of Twin Vee's future growth strategy.
Joseph Visconti, CEO and President of Twin Vee, underscores the challenging economic landscape marked by rising interest rates and reduced consumer demand. In response, the company is focusing on cost control, product development, and expanding its dealer network. Notable projects include the introduction of new models like the Twin Vee Gen 2 400 GFX and the 280 GFX, as well as enhancing production capabilities at their Fort Pierce facility.
Recent partnerships, like the collaboration with Raymarine to integrate high-performance marine navigation technology into their boats, further exemplify Twin Vee's commitment to innovation. The company also hosts annual dealer meetings, fostering strong relationships with dealers and showcasing upcoming models and technological advancements.
