CEO Commentary

Our continued strength in the third quarter reflects the broad-based consumer demand for our industry leading Powersports products, and tremendous execution by our Polaris team and dealers. Their focus and determination enabled Polaris to generate double-digit sales increases in ORV, Motorcycles and Boats, which were somewhat limited by supply chain capacity constraints. I am extremely proud of the diligent and efficient efforts of our team to mitigate these supplier disruptions and drive a three-year high in quarterly gross profit margins. Demand has remained strong to start the fourth quarter and we expect our sales and earnings momentum to continue for the rest of the year. This pushes our expectations for overall Company performance to exceed our pre-Covid-19 targets for 2020, demonstrating our confidence in the team to accelerate production as we manage through continued challenges. Thanks to the dedication, innovation and customer-centric work of our entire Polaris team, whom we are working relentlessly to keep safe, we are realizing tremendous progress from our strategic investments in supply chain and digital transformation, electrification, and breakthrough product development programs. I am very optimistic about the future growth and profitability prospects for Polaris and our stakeholders.

Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII) (the "Company") today released third quarter 2020 results with reported sales of $1,955 million, up 10 percent from reported sales of $1,772 million for the third quarter of 2019. The Company reported third quarter 2020 net income of $167 million, or $2.66 per diluted share, compared with net income of $88 million, or $1.42 per diluted share, for the 2019 third quarter. Adjusted net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $179 million, or $2.85 per diluted share compared to $104 million, or $1.68 per diluted share in the 2019 third quarter.

Retail demand remained strong during the quarter benefiting Company performance as both new and existing customers continued taking advantage of off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, motorcycles and boats to enjoy the outdoors while maintaining social distancing etiquette.

Gross profit increased 22 percent to $535 million for the third quarter of 2020 from $437 million in the third quarter of 2019. Reported gross profit margin was 27.3 percent of sales for the third quarter of 2020, up 271 basis points compared to 24.6 percent of sales for the third quarter of 2019. The improvement in gross profits was primarily driven by positive product mix and lower promotional costs incurred during the quarter. Adjusted gross profit for the third quarter 2020 was $537 million, or 27.5 percent of adjusted sales compared to the third quarter of 2019 adjusted gross profit of $441 million, or 24.9 percent of sales. Adjusted gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 and 2019 excludes the negative impact of $2 million and $5 million of restructuring and realignment costs, respectively.

Operating expenses decreased four percent for the third quarter of 2020 to $313 million from $328 million in the same period in 2019. Operating expenses were lower primarily due to the Company's ongoing cautionary approach to spending given the pandemic-generated economic uncertainty.

Income from financial services was $18 million for the third quarter of 2020, down 17 percent compared with $22 million for the third quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in wholesale financing income during the quarter due to lower dealer inventory levels.

Non-Operating Expenses (Reported)(in millions) Three months ended September 30,

2020 2019 Change

Interest expense $ 17.3 $ 19.8 (13 )%

Equity in loss of other affiliates $ - $ 4.0 NM

Other (income) expense, net $ 3.2 $ (1.7 ) NM

Provision for income taxes $ 52.0 $ 19.8 NM



NM = Not meaningful

Interest expense was $17 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared to $20 million for the same period last year due to lower interest rates.

Other (income) expense, net, was $3.2 million of expense in the third quarter of 2020 compared to $1.7 million of income in the third quarter of 2019. Other (income) expense is the result of currency exchange rate movements and the corresponding effects on currency transactions related to the Company's international subsidiaries.

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2020 was $52 million, or 23.7 percent of pretax income, compared with $20 million, or 18.3 percent of pretax income, for the third quarter of 2019. The increase in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to domestic manufacturing deduction benefits realized from the filing of amended returns in the third quarter of 2019.

Off-Road Vehicles ("ORV") and Snowmobiles segment sales, including PG&A, totaled $1,289 million for the third quarter of 2020, up twelve percent compared to $1,152 million for the third quarter of 2019 driven by broad based strength across ATV and side-by-side sales. PG&A sales for ORV and Snowmobiles combined increased 32 percent in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter last year. Gross profit increased 23 percent to $378 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $308 million in the third quarter of 2019. Gross profit percentage increased 255 basis points during the 2020 third quarter compared to the prior year due to strong retail demand, and as a result, lower promotional and floor-plan financing costs, in addition to positive product mix.

ORV wholegood sales for the third quarter of 2020 increased 13 percent. Polaris North American ORV retail sales increased low-double digits percent for the quarter with both side-by-side vehicles and ATV vehicles up low-double digits percent. The North American ORV industry was up low-twenties percent compared to the third quarter last year.

Snowmobile wholegood sales in the third quarter of 2020 were $70 million, down 34 percent compared to $106 million in the third quarter last year. Snowmobile sales were impacted by the timing of shipments for the Company's pre-season snowmobile orders year-over-year and intermittent supply-chain disruptions.

Motorcycles segment sales, including PG&A, totaled $167 million, up 11 percent compared to the third quarter of 2019, driven primarily from increased sales of Slingshot and PG&A. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2020 was $16 million compared to $9 million in the third quarter of 2019. The increase in gross profit margin was driven by a decrease in promotional costs and lower European Union retaliatory tariffs as more motorcycles were produced in the Poland manufacturing facility for the region.

North American consumer retail sales for Indian Motorcycle increased in the low-forty percent range during the third quarter of 2020 in a weak mid to heavy-weight two-wheel motorcycle industry that was down low-single digits percent. North American consumer retail sales for Polaris' motorcycle segment, including both Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot, increased in the mid-forty percent range during the third quarter of 2020, while the North American motorcycle industry retail sales for mid- to heavy-weight motorcycles including three-wheel vehicles, was up low-single digits percent in the third quarter of 2020.

Global Adjacent Markets segment sales, including PG&A, decreased 6 percent to $107 million in the 2020 third quarter compared to $114 million in the 2019 third quarter driven by ongoing spending restraints in industrial, educational, government and rental organizations during the pandemic. Gross profit increased two percent to $32 million or 29.7 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $31 million or 27.0 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2019. Gross profit percentage increased during the quarter primarily due to positive product mix.

Aftermarket segment sales of $237 million in the 2020 third quarter increased slightly compared to $236 million in the 2019 third quarter. Transamerican Auto Parts (TAP) sales of $194 million in the third quarter of 2020 increased one percent compared to $193 million in the third quarter of 2019. The Company's other aftermarket brands sales were down one percent compared to the third quarter of 2019. Gross profit increased three percent to $64 million or 26.9 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $62 million or 26.2 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2019.

Boats segment sales increased 30 percent to $155 million in the 2020 third quarter compared to $119 million in the 2019 third quarter, driven by broad based strength across all brands. Gross profit increased 49 percent to $33 million or 21.5 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $22 million or 18.8 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2019 due to volume and positive product mix.

Supplemental Data:

Parts, Garments, and Accessories ("PG&A") sales increased 28 percent for the 2020 third quarter.

International sales to customers outside of North America, including PG&A, totaled $203 million for the third quarter of 2020, up nine percent from the same period in 2019.

NON-GAAP ADJUSTMENTS Third Quarter 2020 Results & Full Year Guidance

Restructuring, Realignment and Acquisition Related Costs

Polaris announced in 2017 that it was making changes to its network to consolidate production and distribution of like products and better leverage plant capacity and embarked on a multi-phase supply chain transformation initiative to continue to leverage its supply chain as a strategic asset. Additionally, the Company has recorded acquisitions and integration related costs associated with the TAP and Boat Holdings acquisitions. Currently, the Company is also executing certain corporate restructuring across the organization to increase efficiency and focus its business including the wind-down of the Rinker, Striper and Larson FX boat brands. For the third quarter of 2020, the Company has recorded combined costs totaling $3 million which was included as a NON-GAAP adjustment.

Intangible amortization related to acquisitions

As a result of the Boat Holdings acquisition, Polaris' amortization of intangible assets increased significantly on an annual basis. Given the significant increase in non-cash amortization associated with this acquisition along with intangible amortization from prior acquisitions, the Company has moved to an adjusted net income metric, excluding intangible amortization from all acquisitions. The Company believes this treatment will provide additional transparency into the true, ongoing earnings performance of its business. For the third quarter of 2020, Polaris included $9 million of intangible amortization related to acquisitions as a NON-GAAP adjustment.

2020 Adjusted Guidance

2020 guidance excludes the pre-tax effect of supply chain transformation, restructuring and network realignment costs of approximately $35 million to $40 million, and approximately $20 million to $25 million for class action litigation-related expenses. Intangible amortization of approximately $35 million related to all acquisitions has also been excluded, along with the $379 million non-cash impairment charge related to the Company's Aftermarket segment. The Company has not provided reconciliations of guidance for adjusted diluted net income per share, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include restructuring and realignment costs and acquisition integration costs that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.
