Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) ("Vision Marine" or the "Company"), an electric marine technology company specializing in high-voltage marine propulsion, together with its recently acquired retail network, Nautical Ventures, an award-winning Florida-based dealership group, announced the filing of a new U.S. patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, further strengthening the intellectual property supporting its high-voltage electric marine powertrain platform.

The patent filing relates to a structural integration system that enables electric motors to be mechanically paired with conventional outboard assemblies while maintaining precise alignment and load management under marine operating conditions. The patent addresses a critical interface within electric outboard design, supporting reliable torque transfer and long-term durability without requiring proprietary lower units.

This approach enables electric propulsion to integrate with existing outboard architectures, helping reduce development costs and shorten integration timelines for boat manufacturers. By designing a complete, marine-specific high-voltage powertrain with interfaces engineered to work with proven outboard platforms, Vision Marine supports broader compatibility across systems familiar to manufacturers, dealers, and service technicians. "We design the entire high-voltage marine powertrain and engineer its interfaces to integrate with established outboard platforms," said Daniel Rathe, Chief Technology Officer of Vision Marine Technologies.

From a commercial perspective, the invention supports Vision Marine's ability to apply a standardized high-voltage propulsion architecture across multiple outboard formats. This standardization supports scalable production, consistent integration, and efficient training for service teams, while enabling broader fleet and retail adoption as electric propulsion continues to expand.

At a strategic level, the filing reinforces Vision Marine's objective of securing and strengthening a complete electric marine powertrain, engineered as a unified system rather than assembled from disconnected third-party components. By securing the mechanical interface between the motor and the lower unit, the Company strengthens its control over system performance, validation, and long-term lifecycle support.

Including this filing, Vision Marine's intellectual property portfolio now comprises 14 patent applications pending, all centered on the design, control, protection, and integration of high-voltage electric marine propulsion systems. Together, these filings support the Company's long-term strategy to secure proprietary technology intended for recreational deployment across its channels. Vision Marine believes that aligning technology development with real-world market access supports the creation of a durable and scalable platform within the evolving boating and marine propulsion landscape.
