POLARIS INDUSTRIES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Polaris Industries Inc. (“Polaris” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures of results of operations, financial position and changes in cash flow in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Accordingly, such statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. Due to the seasonality trends for certain products and to certain changes in production and shipping cycles, results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the complete year.
Fair value measurements. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
In making fair value measurements, observable market data must be used when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its non-qualified deferred compensation assets and liabilities, and the income approach for foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities, and for the income approach, the Company uses significant other observable inputs to value its derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency and commodity transactions.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

Fair value of other financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and short-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt, capital lease
7
obligations and notes payable, approximate their fair values. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, capital lease obligations and notes payable was approximately $1,117,197,000 and $922,123,000, respectively, and was determined using Level 2 inputs, including quoted market prices or discounted cash flows based on quoted market rates for similar types of debt. The carrying value of long-term debt, capital lease obligations and notes payable including current maturities was $1,112,622,000 and $913,012,000 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Inventories. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs, including depreciation expense associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value. The major components of inventories are as follows (in thousands):

Less: reserves | (46,693 | ) | (47,119 | ) | |||
Inventories | $ | 925,243 | $ | 783,961 | |||
Product warranties. Polaris provides a limited warranty for its vehicles for a period of six months to two years, depending on the product. Polaris provides longer warranties in certain geographical markets as determined by local regulations and market conditions and may also provide longer warranties related to certain promotional programs. Polaris’ standard warranties require the Company or its dealers to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the consumer. The warranty reserve is established at the time of sale to the dealer or distributor based on management’s best estimate using historical rates and trends. Adjustments to the warranty reserve are made from time to time as actual claims become known in order to properly estimate the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual in any given period include the following: change in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix, changes in warranty coverage periods, snowfall and its impact on snowmobile usage, product recalls and any significant changes in sales volume. The activity in the warranty reserve during the periods presented was as follows (in thousands):

New accounting pronouncements.
Revenue from contracts with customers. Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows as of the adoption date or for the three or six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company has included the disclosures required by ASU 2014-09 in Note 2.
Statement of cash flows. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Prior periods were retrospectively adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-18, the Company recorded a decrease of $1,006,000 in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to reclassifying the changes in our restricted cash balance from operating activities to the cash and cash equivalent balances within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires most lessees to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities, but recognize expenses in a manner similar with current accounting standards. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is effective
8
for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company developed a project plan to guide the implementation of ASU 2016-02. The Company made progress on this plan including surveying the Company’s businesses, assessing the Company’s portfolio of leases, compiling information on active leases, and selecting a lease accounting software. The Company is currently identifying and implementing appropriate changes to its policies, business processes, systems and controls to support lease accounting and disclosures under Topic 842. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
Derivatives and hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU better aligns accounting rules with a company’s risk management activities; better reflects economic results of hedging in financial statements; and simplifies hedge accounting treatment. The standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this new standard on the financial statements.
Income Taxes. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, requires companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings.
The Company has applied the guidance in ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, when accounting for the enactment-date effects of the Act. At June 30, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Act, as the Company is in the process of analyzing certain aspects of the Act, obtaining information, and refining its calculations of the Act’s impact. There have been no material measurement period adjustments made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 related to the provisional amounts recorded and disclosed in the Company’s fiscal 2017 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. The Company expects to complete the accounting for the tax effects of the Act during 2018.
There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with the Company’s customer are satisfied which generally occurs with the transfer of control of the wholegood vehicles, parts, garments or accessories, and upon completion of the service or over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract, for services. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Sales, value add, and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. The expected costs associated with the Company’s limited warranties and field service bulletin actions continue to be recognized as expense when the products are sold. The Company recognizes revenue for vehicle service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance beyond the Company’s limited warranties over the life of the contract.
ORV/Snowmobiles, Motorcycles and Global Adjacent Markets segments
Wholegood vehicles and parts, garments and accessories. For the majority of wholegood vehicles, parts, garments and accessories (PG&A), the Company transfers control and recognizes a sale when it ships the product from its manufacturing facility, distribution center, or vehicle holding center to its customer (primarily dealers and distributors). The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue it recognizes varies with changes in marketing incentives and returns it offers to its dealers and their customers. Sales returns are not material. The Company adjusts its estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration it expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed.
Depending on the terms of the arrangement, the Company may also defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because it has to satisfy a future obligation (e.g., free extended service contracts). The Company uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over vehicles, parts, garments or accessories have transferred to the customer as an expense in Cost of sales.
Extended Service Contracts. The Company sells separately-priced service contracts that extend mechanical and maintenance coverages beyond its base limited warranty agreements to vehicle owners. The separately priced service contracts range from 12 months to 84 months. The Company primarily receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract.
Aftermarket segment
The Company’s Aftermarket products are sold through dealer, distributor, retail, and e-commerce channels. The Company transfers control and recognizes a sale when products are shipped or delivered to its customer. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue it recognizes varies with changes in marketing incentives and return rights it offers to its customers and their customers. When the Company gives its customers the right to return eligible parts and accessories, it estimates the expected returns based on an analysis of historical experience. The Company adjusts its estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration it expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed.
Service revenue. At the Company’s Transamerican Auto Parts (“TAP”) retail stores (4 Wheel Parts), it offers installation services for parts that the retail store sells. Service revenues are recognized upon completion of the service.

The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over parts, garments or accessories have transferred to the customer as an expense in cost of sales.
Deferred revenue
In 2016, Polaris began financing its self-insured risks related to extended service contracts (“ESCs”). The premiums for ESCs are primarily recognized in income in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred over the contract period. Warranty costs are recognized as incurred. Revenues related to sales of its extended warranty program and related accrued costs for claims are deferred and amortized over the warranty period, generally five years, while warranty administrative costs are recognized as incurred. TAP recognizes revenues related to sales of its extended warranty programs for tires and other products over the term of the warranty period, which varies from two to five years.
At January 1, 2018, $45,760,000 of unearned revenue associated with outstanding contracts was reported in other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities. At June 30, 2018, the unearned amount was $52,620,000. The Company expects to recognize approximately $22,265,000 of the unearned amount in 2018 and $30,355,000 thereafter.

Note 3. Share-Based Compensation
The amount of compensation cost for share-based awards to be recognized during a period is based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company analyzes historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and records share-based compensation expense for those awards expected to vest.
Total share-based compensation expenses were comprised as follows (in thousands):

Shares allocated to eligible participants’ accounts vest at various percentage rates based on years of service and require no cash payments from the recipient.
At June 30, 2018, there was $134,342,000 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested share-based equity awards. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.67 years. Included in unrecognized share-based compensation expense is approximately $37,441,000 related to stock options and $96,901,000 for restricted stock.

In December 2013, the Company entered into a First Supplement to Master Note Purchase Agreement, under which the Company issued $100,000,000 of unsecured senior notes due December 2020.
The unsecured revolving loan facility and the Master Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that require Polaris to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. Polaris was in compliance with all such covenants at June 30, 2018.
The debt issuance costs are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the related long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense in our consolidated statements of income over the expected remaining terms of the related debt.

Net income per share
Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including shares earned under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (“Director Plan”) and the ESOP and deferred stock units under the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). Diluted income per share is computed under the treasury stock method and is calculated to compute the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and certain shares issued under the Omnibus Plan. A reconciliation of these amounts is as follows (in thousands):
Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, | ||||||||
2018 | 2017 | 2018 | 2017 | ||||||

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the number of options that were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the option exercise price was greater than the market price, and therefore, the effect would have been anti-dilutive, were 1,812,000 and 1,677,000, respectively, compared to 3,626,000 and 3,398,000 for the same periods in 2017.

Note 7. Financial Services Arrangements
Polaris Acceptance, a joint venture between Polaris and Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, a direct subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), which is supported by a partnership agreement between their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, finances substantially all of Polaris’ United States sales whereby Polaris receives payment within a few days of shipment of the product.
Polaris’ subsidiary has a 50 percent equity interest in Polaris Acceptance. Polaris Acceptance sells a majority of its receivable portfolio to a securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) arranged by Wells Fargo. The sale of receivables from
14
Polaris Acceptance to the Securitization Facility is accounted for in Polaris Acceptance’s financial statements as a “true-sale” under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 860. Polaris’ allocable share of the income of Polaris Acceptance has been included as a component of income from financial services in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The partnership agreement is effective through February 2022.
Polaris’ total investment in Polaris Acceptance of $92,954,000 at June 30, 2018 is accounted for under the equity method, and is recorded in investment in finance affiliate in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2018, the outstanding amount of net receivables financed for dealers under this arrangement was $1,172,207,000, which included $539,732,000 in the Polaris Acceptance portfolio and $632,475,000 of receivables within the Securitization Facility (“Securitized Receivables”).
Polaris has agreed to repurchase products repossessed by Polaris Acceptance up to an annual maximum of 15 percent of the aggregate average month-end outstanding Polaris Acceptance receivables and Securitized Receivables during the prior calendar year. For calendar year 2018, the potential 15 percent aggregate repurchase obligation is approximately $164,969,000. Polaris’ financial exposure under this arrangement is limited to the difference between the amounts unpaid by the dealer with respect to the repossessed product plus costs of repossession and the amount received on the resale of the repossessed product. No material losses have been incurred under this agreement during the periods presented.
Polaris has agreements with Performance Finance, Sheffield Financial and Synchrony Bank, under which these financial institutions provide financing to end consumers of Polaris products. Polaris’ income generated from these agreements has been included as a component of income from financial services in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Polaris also administers and provides extended service contracts to consumers and certain insurance contracts to dealers and consumers through various third-party suppliers. Polaris finances its self-insured risks related to extended service contracts, but does not retain any insurance or financial risk under any of the other arrangements. Polaris’ service fee income generated from these arrangements has been included as a component of income from financial services in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Note 8. Investment in Other Affiliates
The Company has certain investments in nonmarketable securities of strategic companies. As of December 31, 2017, the Company’s investment in Eicher-Polaris Private Limited (EPPL) represented the majority of these investments and is recorded as a component of other long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
EPPL is a joint venture established in 2012 with Eicher Motors Limited (“Eicher”). Polaris and Eicher each control 50 percent of the joint venture, which is intended to design, develop and manufacture a full range of new vehicles for India and other emerging markets. The investment in EPPL is accounted for under the equity method, with Polaris’ proportionate share of income or loss recorded within the consolidated financial statements on a one month lag due to financial information not being available timely.
During the first quarter of 2018, the Board of Directors of EPPL approved a shut down of the operations of the EPPL joint venture. As a result of the expected closure, the Company fully impaired its investment in EPPL by recognizing an impairment charge of $18,733,000 within Equity in loss of other affiliates in the consolidated statement of income. The Company has recognized $3,817,000 and $23,447,000 of costs, including impairment, associated with the wind-down of EPPL for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in EPPL was $0 and $18,616,000, respectively.
Polaris will impair or write off an investment and recognize a loss if and when events or circumstances indicate there is impairment in the investment that is other-than-temporary. When necessary, Polaris evaluates investments in nonmarketable securities for impairment, utilizing Level 3 fair value inputs. As a result of the Victory® Motorcycles wind down, the Company recognized an impairment of substantially all of its cost-method investment in Brammo, Inc. in the first quarter of 2017. See Note 12 for additional discussion related to charges incurred related to the Victory Motorcycles wind down.
In October 2017, an agreement was signed to sell the assets of Brammo, Inc. to a third party. The sale was completed in the fourth quarter of 2017, and as a result of the sale, Polaris recognized a gain, which is included in Other expense (income), net on the 2017 consolidated statements of income. During the first quarter of 2018, Polaris received additional distributions from Brammo and recognized a gain of $13,478,000, which is included in Other expense (income) on the consolidated statements of income.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Polaris is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. The Company carries excess insurance coverage for catastrophic product liability claims. Polaris self-insures product liability claims before the policy date and up to the purchased catastrophic insurance coverage after the policy date. The estimated costs resulting from any losses are charged to operating expenses when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably determinable. The Company utilizes historical trends and actuarial analysis tools, along with an analysis of current claims, to assist in determining the appropriate loss reserve levels. At June 30, 2018, the Company had an accrual of $49,195,000 for the probable payment of pending claims related to continuing product liability litigation associated with Polaris products. This accrual is included as a component of other accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Polaris is a defendant in lawsuits and subject to other claims arising in the normal course of business, including putative class action lawsuits. As of June 30, 2018, the Company is aware of two putative class actions pending against Polaris in the United States. As these proceedings are in the early stages, the Company is unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or an estimate of the range of possible loss. In the opinion of management, it is unlikely that any legal proceedings pending against or involving Polaris will have a material adverse effect on Polaris’ financial position or results of operations.
In the normal course of business, the Company’s products are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to safety, environmental and other regulations promulgated by the United States federal government and individual states, as well as international regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in fines, penalties or other costs.
On April 2, 2018, the Company agreed to a $27,250,000 settlement with the Consumer Product Safety Commission that resolves two 2016 late-reporting claims. The settlement was paid in the second quarter of 2018.
Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. From time to time, the primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price fluctuations. Derivative contracts on various currencies are entered into in order to manage foreign currency exposures associated with certain product sourcing activities and intercompany cash flows. Interest rate swaps are occasionally entered into in order to maintain a balanced risk of fixed and floating interest rates associated with the Company’s long-term debt. Commodity hedging contracts are occasionally entered into in order to manage fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials that are integrated into the Company’s end products.
The Company’s foreign currency management objective is to mitigate the potential impact of currency fluctuations on the value of its U.S. dollar cash flows and to reduce the variability of certain cash flows at the subsidiary level. The Company actively manages certain forecasted foreign currency exposures and uses a centralized currency management operation to take advantage of potential opportunities to naturally offset foreign currency exposures against each other. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, can vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. Polaris does not use any financial contracts for trading purposes.
At June 30, 2018, Polaris had the following open foreign currency contracts (in thousands):
Foreign Currency | Notional Amounts (in U.S. Dollars) | Net Unrealized Gain | ||||||
Australian Dollar | $ | 17,658 | $ | 985 | ||||
Canadian Dollar | 132,052 | 5,336 | ||||||
Mexican Peso | 20,760 | (390 | ) | |||||
Total | $ | 170,470 | $ | 5,931 | ||||
These contracts, with maturities through September 2019, met the criteria for cash flow hedges, and the unrealized gains or losses, after tax, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into the statements of income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects the statements of income. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in the current statement of income.
The amount of gains (losses), net of tax, related to the effective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $580,000 and $5,109,000, respectively, compared to $(1,397,000) and $(1,041,000) for the same respective periods in 2017.
See Note 6 for information about the amount of gains and losses, net of tax, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into the statements of income for derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments. The ineffective portion of foreign currency contracts was not material for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2018.
Note 11. Segment Reporting
The Company’s reportable segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which generally segregates the operating segments by product line, inclusive of wholegoods and PG&A. The internal reporting of these operating segments is defined based, in part, on the reporting and review process used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company has five operating segments: 1) ORV, 2) Snowmobiles, 3) Motorcycles, 4) Global Adjacent Markets and 5) Aftermarket, and four reportable segments: 1) ORV/Snowmobiles, 2) Motorcycles, 3) Global Adjacent Markets, and 4) Aftermarket.
The ORV/Snowmobiles segment includes the aggregated results of our ORV and Snowmobiles operating segments. The Motorcycles, Global Adjacent Markets and Aftermarket segments include the results for those respective operating segments. The Corporate amounts include costs that are not allocated to individual segments, which include incentive-based compensation and other unallocated manufacturing costs. Additionally, given the commonality of customers, manufacturing and asset management, the Company does not maintain separate balance sheets for each segment. Accordingly, the segment information presented below is limited to sales and gross profit data (in thousands):

Note 12. Victory Motorcycles Wind Down
In January 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a strategic plan to wind down the Victory Motorcycles brand. The Company began wind down activities during the first quarter of 2017. As a result of the activities, the Company recognized total pretax charges of $1,242,000 and $2,630,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively, compared to $10,683,000 and $56,465,000 for the same respective periods in 2017, that are within the scope of ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420). These totals exclude the positive pretax impact of $1,668,000 and $2,387,000 incurred for other wind-down activities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and the negative pretax impact of $168,000 and $11,966,000 incurred for other wind-down activities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The Company estimates that the total impact of wind down activities in 2018 will be $5,000,000, inclusive of promotional activity. Substantially all costs related to wind down activities are expected to be recognized by the end of 2018.
As a result of the wind down activities, the Company has incurred expenses within the scope of ASC 420 consisting of dealer termination, supplier termination, dealer litigation, employee separation, asset impairment charges, including the impairment of a cost method investment, inventory write-down charges and other costs. The wind down expenses have been included as components of cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses or other expense (income), net, in the consolidated statements of income. Charges related to the wind down plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 within the scope of ASC 420 were as follows (in thousands):

Note 13. Subsequent Event
On July 2, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 29, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Boat Holdings, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company which manufactures boats (“Boat Holdings”). Headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, Boat Holdings had approximately $560,000,000 of sales in 2017.
The transaction was structured as an acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Boat Holdings for aggregate consideration of $825,000,000, subject to customary adjustments based on, among other things, the amount of cash, debt and working capital in the business of Boat Holdings at the closing date. A portion of the aggregate consideration equal to $100,000,000 will be paid in the form of a series of deferred annual payments over 12 years following the closing date.
The Company funded the purchase price for the acquisition by amending, extending, and up-sizing the Credit Facility and the proceeds of the issuance of 4.23% Senior Notes, Series 2018, due July 3, 2028, described in Note 4.
Due to the limited time since the date of the acquisition, it is impracticable for the Company to make certain business combination disclosures at this time as the Company is still gathering information necessary to provide those disclosures.
Item 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The following discussion pertains to the results of operations and financial position of Polaris Industries Inc., a Minnesota corporation, for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to the three and six month period ended June 30, 2017. The terms “Polaris,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” as used herein refer to the business and operations of Polaris Industries Inc., its subsidiaries and its predecessors, which began doing business in 1954. We design, engineer and manufacture powersports vehicles, which include Off-Road Vehicles (ORV), including all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and side-by-side vehicles; motorcycles; Global Adjacent Markets vehicles, including Commercial, Government, and Defense vehicles; and related Parts, Garments and Accessories (PG&A), as well as Aftermarket accessories and apparel. Due to the seasonality of certain products and to certain changes in production and shipping cycles, results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the complete year.
We reported net income of $92.5 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, compared to 2017 second quarter net income of $62.0 million, or $0.97 per diluted share. Second quarter sales totaled $1,502.5 million, an increase of 10 percent from last year’s second quarter sales of $1,364.9 million. The sales increase was driven primarily by strong ORV and Global Adjacent Market sales. Our unit retail sales to consumers in North America increased six percent in the second quarter of 2018, primarily driven by increased retail demand for ATVs and side-by-sides. Our second quarter sales to North American customers increased 11 percent, driven by growth in ORV. Our sales to customers outside of North America increased 7 percent, primarily driven by foreign exchange movements and strong sales in the Company’s EMEA business for ORV and motorcycles. Our gross profit of $385.2 million increased 10 percent from $350.4 million in the comparable prior year second quarter. The increase in gross profit dollars during the quarter was primarily driven by increased sales. The slight decrease in gross profit margins was driven by the impact of commodity, freight and tariff cost pressure, partially offset by lower warranty costs, Value Improvement Process (“VIP”) savings, freight surcharges, and favorable exchange rates. Additionally, quarter gross profit in 2018 was affected negatively as a result of $5.2 million of wind-down, realignment and supply chain transformation costs, while 2017 was impacted negatively by $8.9 million of Victory Motorcycle wind down costs and $4.3 million of restructuring and realignment costs. Our liquidity remained adequate with $181.8 million of cash on hand and $359.6 million of availability on the revolving loan facility at June 30, 2018.
As a result of our decision to wind down the Victory Motorcycles brand, total non-recurring wind down activities had a positive pretax impact of $0.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2018 and a negative pretax impact of $0.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2018. Total wind down activities had a negative pretax impact of $10.9 million and $68.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. We estimate the total pre-tax
19
impact of non-recurring wind down activities in 2018 to be approximately $5.0 million. Substantially all costs related to wind down activities are expected to be recognized by the end of 2018.
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of Boat Holdings, LLC, a privately held limited liability company which manufactures boats (“Boat Holdings”). Headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana, Boat Holdings had approximately $560.0 million of sales in 2017.
The transaction was structured as an acquisition of 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Boat Holdings for aggregate consideration of $825.0 million, subject to customary adjustments based on, among other things, the amount of cash, debt and working capital in the business of Boat Holdings at the closing date. A portion of the aggregate consideration equal to $100.0 million will be paid in the form of a series of deferred annual payments over 12 years following the closing date. The Company funded the purchase price for the acquisition by amending, extending, and up-sizing the Credit Facility and the proceeds of the issuance of 4.23% Senior Notes, Series 2018, due July 3, 2028.
Results of Operations
Unless otherwise noted, all “quarter” comparisons are from the second quarter 2018 to the second quarter 2017, and all “year-to-date” comparisons are from the six month period ended June 30, 2018 to the six month period ended June 30, 2017.
Sales:
Quarter sales were $1,502.5 million, a 10 percent increase from $1,364.9 million of quarter sales in the prior year. Year to date sales were $2,800.0 million, an 11 percent increase from $2,518.7 million of sales in the comparable prior year period. The following table is an analysis of the percentage change in total Company sales:

ORV/Snowmobiles
ORVs: Quarter and year-to-date sales, including PG&A, increased 18 percent primarily due to strong RANGER®, RZR®, and ATV shipments. Sales outside North America increased six percent in the quarter, primarily due to increased side-by-side shipments. The quarter average per unit sales price increased three percent compared to the prior year.
Our North American ORV quarter unit retail sales to consumers increased mid-single digit percent compared to the 2017 second quarter, with consumer purchases of side-by-side vehicles, which include RANGER, RZR, and Polaris GENERAL™, and ATVs increasing mid-single digit percent over the prior year. Side-by-Sides and ATVs again gained market share during the quarter in their respective categories. The Company estimates that North American industry ORV retail sales were flat from the second quarter of 2017. Polaris’ North American dealer unit inventory was up high single digit percent compared to the second quarter of 2017 due to increased shipments of newly introduced products.
20
Snowmobiles: Historically, the first half of the year are slow quarters for shipments to dealers due to the seasonality of the business. Quarter and year-to-date sales at June 30, 2018 were $7.3 million and $45.2 million, respectively, compared to $10.5 million and $42.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The changes are due to the timing of shipments year-over-year.
Motorcycles
Quarter and year-to-date sales decreased compared to the prior year, due to a weak motorcycle industry and timing of shipments for Indian Motorcycles® year over year. Slingshot® sales were down also due to the weak motorcycle industry. The quarter average per unit sales price decreased six percent, excluding Victory Motorcycles, driven by a shift in sales mix towards more mid-sized motorcycles.
North American consumer retail sales for Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot increased low-single digits percent for the quarter. Indian Motorcycle retail sales increased mid-single digit percent and gained market share. Slingshot retail sales decreased mid-single digit percent during the quarter. North American industry retail sales, 900cc and above, decreased mid-single digit percent in the quarter. North American Polaris dealer inventory decreased low-single digits percent in the 2018 second quarter compared to the same period last year due to moderated shipments in an overall weak motorcycle market.
Global Adjacent Markets
Quarter and year-to-date sales increased due primarily to strong Commercial, Government, and Defense sales, including our light-utility business at Goupil.
Aftermarket
Quarter and year-to-date sales, which include Transamerican Auto Parts (TAP), along with our other aftermarket brands of Klim, Kolpin, ProArmor, Trail Tech and 509, increased one percent. Growth at TAP's retail stores and online platforms were largely offset by lower accessory sales for the new Jeep Wrangler which was available for sale later than anticipated.

The slight decrease in gross profit margins was driven by unfavorable mix and the impact of commodity, freight and tariff cost pressure, partially offset by lower warranty costs, VIP savings, and favorable exchange rates. Additionally, year-to-date gross profit in 2018 was affected negatively as a result of $11.0 million of wind-down, realignment and supply chain transformation costs, while 2017 was impacted negatively by $47.4 million of Victory Motorcycle wind down costs, $13.0 million of acquisition-related costs, and $4.3 million of restructuring and realignment costs. We expect commodity price increases, higher freight costs, and additional tariffs to continue throughout the remainder of 2018 and adversely affect our gross profit.
ORV/Snowmobiles. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased for the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to unfavorable product mix, higher commodity costs and freight pressures, offset by lower warranty expense.
Motorcycles. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased for the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to lower costs associated with the wind down of Victory Motorcycles, partially offset by higher warranty costs.
Global Adjacent Markets. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased for the quarter, primarily due to sales mix and due to $4.3 million of manufacturing network realignment costs incurred in the second quarter of 2017. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was flat year-to-date.
Aftermarket. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased for the quarter, primarily due to product mix. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased year-to-date primarily due to the negative impact of $13.0 million of inventory step-up adjustments related to the TAP acquisition included in the prior year comparable period.

Operating expenses, in absolute dollars, for the quarter and year-to-date periods increased primarily due to higher research and development expenses to support ongoing product refinement and innovation. Operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, for the quarter and year-to-date periods decreased primarily due to realized efficiencies in selling, marketing, and general and administrative spend.

Interest expense: Quarter and year-to-date interest expense increased primarily due to higher interest rates.
Equity in loss of other affiliates: As a result of the decision by the Eicher-Polaris Private Limited (EPPL) Board of Directors to shut down the operations of the EPPL joint venture, we impaired our investment in EPPL and incurred additional wind-down related costs in 2018. The impairment and wind-down costs resulted in quarter and year-to-date increases in Equity in loss of other affiliates. Additional costs associated with the wind down of the joint venture, if any, are expected to be immaterial for the remainder of 2018.
Other expense (income), net: The quarter and year-to-date change primarily relates to foreign currency exchange rate movements and the corresponding effects on foreign currency transactions and balance sheet positions related to our foreign subsidiaries from period to period. The year-to-date change also includes a gain on our investment in Brammo Inc. in 2018.
23
Provision for income taxes: The decrease in the effective income tax rates from the prior year periods is primarily due to the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate to 21% as a result of U.S.Tax Reform and an increase in excess tax benefits related to stock based compensation.
Weighted average shares outstanding: Over the time period within and between the comparable quarter and year-to-date periods, weighted average shares outstanding increased approximately two percent due primarily to the dilutive effects of stock issuances under employee compensation plans, partially offset by share repurchases during the periods.
Cash Dividends:
We paid a regular cash dividend of $0.60 per share on June 15, 2018 to holders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2018. On July 25, 2018, the Polaris Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.60 per share
payable on September 17, 2018 to holders of record of such shares at the close of business on August 31, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of funds have been cash provided by operating and financing activities. Our primary uses of funds have been for acquisitions, repurchase and retirement of common stock, capital investment, new product development and cash dividends to shareholders.
We believe that existing cash balances and cash flow to be generated from operating activities and borrowing capacity under the credit facility arrangement will be sufficient to fund operations, new product development, cash dividends, share repurchases and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. At this time, management is not aware of any factors that would have a material adverse impact on cash flow.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:
($ in millions) | Six months ended June 30, | ||||||||||
2018 | 2017 | Change | |||||||||
Total cash provided by (used for): | |||||||||||
Operating activities | $ | 165.2 | $ | 263.0 | $ | (97.8 | ) | ||||

Increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 48.3 | $ | (1.0 | ) | $ | 49.3 | ||||
Operating activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was $165.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $263.0 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the 2018 period was primarily due to planned higher factory inventory related to the higher sales and the model year changeover.
Investing activities: The primary use of cash was for the purchase of property and equipment and tooling for continued capacity and capability at our manufacturing facilities.
Financing activities: Cash used by financing activities changed primarily due to net borrowings under debt arrangements, capital lease obligations and notes payable of $200.9 million compared to net repayments of $78.6 million in the 2017 comparable period. Common stock repurchases were $192.4 million compared to $65.6 million in the 2017 comparable period and proceeds from the issuance of stock under employee plans were $43.4 million and $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additionally, we paid cash dividends of $75.7 million and $72.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The seasonality of production and shipments cause working capital requirements to fluctuate during the year.
Debt and Capital
We are party to a $600.0 million variable interest rate bank lending agreement and a Master Note Purchase Agreement, as amended and supplemented, under which we have unsecured borrowings. We are also party to a $750.0 million term loan facility, of which $670.0 million is outstanding as of June 30, 2018.
On July 2, 2018, in connection with the acquisition of Boat Holdings, LLC, we amended the revolving loan facility to increase the facility to $700.0 million and increase the term loan facility to $1,180.0 million. The expiration date of the facility was extended to July 2023, and interest will continue to be charged at rates based on a LIBOR or “prime” base rate.
24
Additionally, on July 2, 2018, we entered into a Master Note Purchase Agreement to issue $350.0 million of 4.23% unsecured senior notes due July 2028.
We enter into leasing arrangements to finance the use of certain property and equipment.
We have a mortgage note payable agreement for land, on which we built our Huntsville, Alabama manufacturing facility in 2016. The original mortgage note payable was for $14.5 million, of which $10.9 million is outstanding as of June 30, 2018. The payment of principal and interest for the note payable is forgivable if we satisfy certain job commitments over the term of the note. We have met the required commitments to date and expect to comply with the commitments in the future.
Debt, capital lease obligations, notes payable, and the average related interest rates at June 30, 2018 were as follows:
($ in millions) | Average interest rate at June 30, 2018 | Maturity | June 30, 2018 | ||||

Our debt to total capital ratio was 56 percent at both June 30, 2018 and 2017.
Additionally, at June 30, 2018, we had letters of credit outstanding of $11.9 million, primarily related to purchase obligations for raw materials.
Share Repurchases
Our Board of Directors has authorized the cumulative repurchase of up to 86.5 million shares of our common stock. Of that total, approximately 81.6 million shares have been repurchased cumulatively from 1996 through June 30, 2018. We repurchased approximately 1.6 million shares of our common stock for $192.4 million during the first six months of 2018, which had an immaterial impact on earnings per share. We have authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional 4.9 million shares of our common stock as of June 30, 2018. The repurchase of any or all such shares authorized remaining for repurchase will be governed by applicable SEC rules.
Other Financial Arrangements
Polaris Acceptance, a joint venture between Polaris and Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance (“WFCDF”), a direct subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”), which is supported by a partnership agreement between their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, finances substantially all of our U.S. sales, whereby we receive payment within a few days of shipment of the product. The partnership agreement is effective through February 2022.
Polaris Acceptance sells a majority of its receivables portfolio (the “Securitized Receivables”) to a securitization facility (“Securitization Facility”) arranged by Wells Fargo, a WFCDF affiliate. Polaris Acceptance is not responsible for any continuing servicing costs or obligations with respect to the Securitized Receivables. At June 30, 2018, the outstanding amount of net receivables financed for dealers under this arrangement, including Securitized Receivables, was $1,172.2 million, a nine percent increase from $1,078.0 million at June 30, 2017.
We account for our investment in Polaris Acceptance under the equity method. Polaris Acceptance is funded through equal equity cash investments from the partners and a loan from an affiliate of WFCDF. We do not guarantee the outstanding indebtedness of Polaris Acceptance. The partnership agreement provides that all income and losses of Polaris Acceptance are shared 50 percent by our wholly owned subsidiary and 50 percent by WFCDF’s subsidiary. Our total investment in Polaris Acceptance at June 30, 2018 was $93.0 million. Our exposure to losses of Polaris Acceptance is limited to our equity in Polaris Acceptance. Credit losses in the Polaris Acceptance portfolio have been modest, averaging less than one percent of the portfolio.
We have agreed to repurchase products repossessed by Polaris Acceptance up to an annual maximum of 15 percent of the aggregate average month-end outstanding Polaris Acceptance receivables and Securitized Receivables during the prior calendar year. For calendar year 2018, the potential 15 percent aggregate repurchase obligation is approximately $165.0
25
million. Our financial exposure under this arrangement is limited to the difference between the amount paid to the finance company for repurchases and the amount received on the resale of the repossessed product. No material losses have been incurred under this agreement.
See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of Polaris Acceptance.
We have agreements with certain financial institutions, under which these financial institutions provide financing to end consumers of our products in the United States. The income generated from these agreements has been included as a component of income from financial services in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. At June 30, 2018, the agreements in place were as follows:
Financial institution | Agreement expiration date |
Performance Finance | December 2021 |
Sheffield Financial | December 2020 |
Synchrony Bank | December 2020 |
Inflation and Foreign Exchange Rates
The changing relationships of the U.S. dollar to the Mexican peso, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar, the Euro, the Swiss franc and other foreign currencies have had a material impact from time to time. We actively manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates by entering into foreign exchange hedging contracts.
Mexican Peso: With increased production at our Monterrey, Mexico facility, our costs in the Mexican peso have continued to increase. We also market and sell to customers in Mexico through a wholly owned subsidiary. Fluctuations in the peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate primarily impact sales, cost of sales, and net income.
Canadian Dollar: We operate in Canada through a wholly owned subsidiary. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar impacts both sales and net income.
Other currencies: We operate in various countries, principally in Europe and Australia, through wholly owned subsidiaries. We also sell to certain distributors in other countries. We purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in Euros and other foreign currencies. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to these other currencies impacts sales, cost of sales and net income.
At June 30, 2018, we had the following open foreign currency hedging contracts:
Foreign Currency | Foreign currency hedging contracts | |||||||
Currency Position | Notional amounts (in thousands of U.S. Dollars) | Average exchange rate of open contracts | ||||||
Australian Dollar (AUD) | Long | $ | 17,658 | $0.78 to 1 AUD | ||||
Canadian Dollar (CAD) | Long | 132,052 | $0.79 to 1 CAD | |||||
Mexican Peso | Short | 20,760 | 20.0 Peso to $1 | |||||
The assets and liabilities in all our foreign entities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net in the shareholders’ equity section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and expenses in our foreign entities are translated at the average foreign exchange rate in effect for each month of the quarter. Certain assets and liabilities related to intercompany positions reported on our consolidated balance sheet that are denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency are translated at the foreign exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the associated gains and losses are included in net income. We expect currencies to have a slightly favorable impact on net income in 2018 compared to 2017.
We are subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials, including steel, aluminum, petroleum-based resins, certain rare earth metals and diesel fuel. In addition, we are a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, rubber and others, which are integrated into the Company’s end products. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials are subject to price fluctuations. This includes the effects of new or modified tariffs or penalties on raw materials, commodities, and products manufactured outside of the United States. We generally buy these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process and from time to time will enter into derivative contracts to hedge a portion of the exposure to commodity risk. At June 30, 2018, we did not have any
26
outstanding commodity derivative contracts in place. Based on our current outlook for commodity prices, the total impact of commodities is expected to have a negative impact on our gross profit margins for 2018 when compared to 2017.
We are a party to a credit agreement with various lenders consisting of a $600 million revolving loan facility and a $750 million term loan facility. Interest accrues on the revolving loan at variable rates based on LIBOR or “prime” plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined. At June 30, 2018, we had an outstanding balance of $240.0 million on the revolving loan facility, and an outstanding balance of $670.0 million on the term loan facility.

Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain matters discussed in this report are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These “forward-looking statements,” including but not limited to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on sales and net income, and commodity price changes on gross profit margins, can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as the Company or management “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe the Company’s future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may also be made from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone, conferences and/or webcasts open to the public. Shareholders, potential investors and others are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause results in future periods to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made in this report, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading titled “Item 1A-Risk Factors” appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to the factors discussed above, among the other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: future conduct of litigation processes; product recalls and warranty expenses; overall economic conditions, including inflation and consumer confidence and spending; interruptions in informal supply arrangements; raw material, commodity and transportation costs; tariffs and other changes to international trade policies; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; product offerings, promotional activities and pricing strategies by competitors; disruptions in manufacturing facilities; the ability to provide products that respond to consumer’s needs and preferences; strategic partners’ sensitivity to economic conditions; acquisition integration costs; environmental and product safety regulatory activity; appropriate levels of dealer and distributor relationships; uncertainty in the retail and wholesale credit markets and relationships with Performance Finance, Sheffield Financial and Synchrony Bank; the ability to protect our intellectual property; the ability to manage our international operations; effects of weather; impairment of goodwill or trade names; the ability to comply with our outstanding debt agreements; changes in tax policy; attracting and retaining skilled employees; and disruptions or breaches of information technology systems. The Company does not undertake any duty to any person to provide updates to its forward-looking statements.
Item 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a complete discussion on the Company’s market risk. There have been no material changes in market risk from those disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Item 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Executive Vice President — Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of
27
1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President — Finance and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
Part II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, and from time to time may become, subject to various legal claims or litigation arising in the normal course of business activities, such as intellectual property, commercial and product liability claims, lawsuits, class actions and other legal matters. Generally, such actions seek compensatory or punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, injunctive relief, or a combination thereof. Adverse and/or unexpected developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur. If a potential settlement or resolution is probable and reasonably estimable, we record the estimated liability based on knowledge, circumstances, and assumptions existing at the time. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not presently believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
As of the date hereof, we are aware of two putative class actions pending against Polaris in the U.S. One putative class action is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota and arises out of allegations that certain Polaris products suffer from unresolved fire hazards allegedly resulting in economic loss, and is the result of the consolidation of the three putative class actions we reported in our April 26, 2018 quarterly report and that were filed between April 5-10, 2018: James Bruner, Jose Luna, Clint Halvorsrod, Robert Lenz, Michael Zeeck, Chad Rogers, Richard Berens, Steve Bailey, Michael Jacks, Bryan Forrest and Ed Beattie, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Polaris Industries/Sales Inc. (D. Minn.), June 15, 2018. The second putative class action also is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota and alleges excessive heat hazards on certain other Polaris products and seeks damages for alleged personal injury and economic loss: Riley Johannesshon, Daniel Badilla, James Kelley, Kevin Wonders, William Bates and James Pinion, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Polaris Industries (D. Minn.), October 4, 2016. As these proceedings are still in the early stages, we are unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or an estimate of the range of possible loss.
Item 1A – RISK FACTORS
Please consider the factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our fiscal 2017 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in such report, which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, or future results, with the exception of the following risk factor which amends and supersedes its equivalent previously discussed in our fiscal 2017 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K and our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2018:
Increases in the cost of raw material, commodity and transportation costs and shortages of certain raw materials could negatively impact our business.
The primary commodities used in manufacturing our products are aluminum, steel, petroleum-based resins and certain rare earth metals used in our charging systems, as well as diesel fuel to transport the products. Our profitability is affected by significant fluctuations in the prices of the raw materials and commodities we use in our products. Additionally, the current political landscape has introduced significant uncertainty with respect to future trade regulations and existing international trade agreements. The U.S. has initiated tariffs on certain foreign goods, including raw materials, commodities, and products manufactured outside the United States that are used in our manufacturing processes, which has increased our cost of sales. In response, certain foreign governments have imposed tariffs on certain U.S. goods, and are considering imposing additional tariffs on other U.S. goods, including goods that we sell internationally. The tariffs imposed to date, the possibility of additional retaliatory trade actions stemming from these tariffs, and the potential negative outcome of the U.S. Government’s section 232 investigation regarding automobiles and automobile parts could continue to increase our cost of sales, both directly and as a result of price increases implemented by domestic suppliers, which we may not be able to pass on to our customers, and/or could result in decreased demand for our products. All of these could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
