NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Polaris 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, 2022 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, equity, 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.
Reclassifications. Reclassifications of certain prior year segment results and account balances have been made to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, or cash flows, as previously reported. Refer to Note 12 for additional information.
On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Transamerican Auto Parts (“TAP”) business. The operating results of the TAP business are reported in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. All amounts and disclosures included in the Notes to consolidated financial statements reflect only the Company's continuing operations unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.
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, interest rate 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, interest rate transactions, and commodity transactions.

Fair value of other financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and current financing obligations approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s current and long-term financing obligations was approximately $2,117.6 million and $2,070.3 million, respectively, and was determined primarily 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 current and long-term financing obligations was $2,102.9 million and $2,057.8 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Property and equipment. Depreciation expense was $57.4 million and $51.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Substantially all of the Company’s property and equipment is located in North America.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred. Sales, value add, and other taxes that are collected from a customer concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point-in-time accounts for the majority of the Company’s revenue. Revenue from products or services transferred over time is discussed in the contract liabilities section.

For the majority of wholegood vehicles, boats, and 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. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue it recognizes varies with changes in marketing incentives and rebates it offers to its customers. Payment terms vary by customer and most of the Company’s sales are financed by the customer under floorplan financing arrangements whereby the Company receives payment within a few days of shipment of the product.
When the right of return exists, the Company adjusts the consideration for the estimated effect of returns. The Company estimates expected returns based on historical sales levels, the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales, type of product, type of customer, and a projection of this experience into the future. 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. 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, boats, parts, garments or accessories has transferred to the customer as an expense in cost of sales.
Financial Products. The Company sells separately-priced extended service contracts (“ESCs”) that extend mechanical coverages beyond the base limited warranty as well as prepaid maintenance agreements to vehicle owners. Each of these separately priced service contracts range from 12 months to 84 months. The Company typically receives payment at the
11

Table of Contents
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.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities relate to deferred revenue recognized for cash consideration received at contract inception in advance of the Company's performance under the respective contract and generally relate to the sale of separately priced ESCs. The Company finances its self-insured risks related to 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.
The activity in the deferred revenue reserve during the periods presented was as follows (in millions):

The amount recorded in other long-term liabilities totaled $75.9 million and $78.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 4. Divestitures and Discontinued Operations
2022 Divestitures.
On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its TAP business, an aftermarket parts business, for a sales price, net of post-closing purchase price adjustments, of $42.2 million. TAP is a vertically integrated manufacturer, distributor, retailer, and installer of off-road Jeep and truck parts and accessories. The transaction included TAP’s full portfolio of operations, including all brands, product lines, manufacturing operations, distribution facilities, more than 100 4 Wheel Parts retail locations, and more than 1,700 TAP employees.
The results of TAP have been presented as discontinued operations. TAP was historically included within the Company’s Aftermarket segment; however, as a result of the divestiture, the Company began management of its portfolio of businesses under a new basis as of June 30, 2022. The Aftermarket segment was eliminated and the results of the Company’s remaining aftermarket businesses historically included within the Aftermarket segment were reclassified to the Off Road and On Road segments. The comparative 2022 segment results were reclassified for comparability.
Results of discontinued operations were as follows (in millions):

In December 2010, the Company entered an unsecured Master Note Purchase Agreement, which has been amended and supplemented, under which it has issued senior notes. In July 2018, the Company issued $350 million of unsecured senior notes due July 2028 which remain outstanding.
The Company maintains an unsecured credit facility which consists of a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”). In July 2018, the Company amended its unsecured credit facility to increase its Term Loan Facility to $1,180 million, of which $816.0 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2023. In June 2021, the Company further amended its unsecured credit facility to increase its Revolving Loan Facility to $1.0 billion, of which $371.0 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2023, and extend the maturity date to June 2026. Interest is charged at rates based on adjusted Term SOFR.
In December 2021, the Company amended the credit facility to provide an unsecured incremental 364-day term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) in the amount of $500 million, which was fully drawn on closing. In December 2022, the Company further amended its unsecured credit facility to extend the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loan to December 15, 2023. There are no required principal payments prior to the maturity date. In addition to the payment of the $500 million Incremental Term Loan, the Company is required to make principal payments under the Term Loan Facility totaling $45.0 million over the next 12 months. These payments are classified as current maturities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The credit agreements governing the credit facility and the Master Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The
13

Table of Contents
agreements require the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 on a rolling four quarter basis. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of March 31, 2023.
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 the consolidated statements of income over the expected remaining terms of the related debt.
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, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana which manufactures boats (“Boat Holdings”). As a component of the Boat Holdings merger agreement, the Company has committed to make a series of deferred payments to the former owners following the closing date of the merger through July 2030. The original discounted payable was for $76.7 million, of which $55.3 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2023. The outstanding balance is included in long-term financing obligations and current financing obligations in the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 8. Shareholders’ Equity
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid $62.8 million to repurchase approximately 0.5 million shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2023, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $300.5 million of the Company’s common stock. The repurchase of any or all such shares authorized for repurchase will be governed by applicable SEC rules and dependent on management’s assessment of market conditions and subject to the restrictions on share repurchases set forth in the incremental amendment.
The Company paid a regular cash dividend of $0.65 per share on March 15, 2023 to holders of record at the close of business on March 1, 2023. Cash dividends declared and paid per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows:

Cash dividends declared and paid per common share$0.65 $0.64 
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”), 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 share-based awards issued under the Omnibus Plan. A reconciliation of these amounts is as follows (in millions):
Three months ended March 31,
20232022
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding 57.0 59.9

Table of Contents
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, 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 was 1.7 million compared to 1.3 million for the same period in 2022.

Note 9. Financial Services Arrangements
Polaris Acceptance, a joint venture between the Company and Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation, 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 the Company’s United States sales of snowmobiles, off-road vehicles (“ORV”), motorcycles, and related PG&A, whereby the Company receives payment within a few days of shipment of the product.
The Company’s subsidiary has a 50 percent equity interest in Polaris Acceptance. The Company’s allocable share of the income of Polaris Acceptance has been included as a component of income from financial services in the consolidated statements of income. The partnership agreement is effective through February 2027.
The Company’s total investment in Polaris Acceptance of $96.5 million as of March 31, 2023 is accounted for under the equity method and is recorded in investment in finance affiliate in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding amount of net receivables financed for dealers under this arrangement was $1,358.1 million.
The Company 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 2023, the potential 15 percent aggregate repurchase obligation is approximately $110.5 million.
A subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (“Huntington”) finances a portion of the Company’s United States sales of boats whereby the Company receives payment within a few days of shipment of the product. The Company has agreed to repurchase products repossessed by Huntington up to a maximum of 100 percent of the aggregate outstanding Huntington receivables balance. As of March 31, 2023, the potential aggregate repurchase obligation was approximately $423.2 million.
The Company has other financing arrangements related to its foreign subsidiaries in which it has agreed to repurchase repossessed products. For calendar year 2023, the potential aggregate repurchase obligations are approximately $24.4 million.
The Company’s financial exposure under these repurchase agreements is limited to the difference between the amounts unpaid by the dealer or distributor 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 these agreements during the periods presented.
The Company has agreements with third-party financing companies to provide financing options to end consumers of the Company’s products. The Company has no material contingent liabilities for residual value or credit collection risk under these agreements. The Company’s income generated from these agreements has been included as a component of income from financial services in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
Product liability. The Company is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. In 2012, the Company began purchasing excess insurance coverage for product liability claims. The Company self-insures product liability claims

before the policy date and up to the purchased 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 estimable. The Company utilizes historical trends and actuarial analysis, along with an analysis of current claims, to assist in determining the appropriate loss reserve levels. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had an accrual of $113.1 million for the probable payment of pending claims related to product liability litigation associated with the Company’s products. This accrual is included as a component of other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets.
Litigation. The Company is a defendant in lawsuits and subject to other claims arising in the normal course of business, including matters related to intellectual property, commercial matters, employment, and product liability claims. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, the Company is party to putative class actions pending against the Company in the United States which are described in more detail in Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings. 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 on the putative class actions.
In the opinion of management, it is presently unlikely that any legal proceedings pending against or involving the Company will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in many of these matters, it is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss given the variety of potential outcomes of actual and potential claims, including legal proceedings seeking punitive damages for which we are not insured, the uncertainty of future rulings, the behavior or incentives of adverse parties, and other factors outside of the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s loss reserve may change from time to time, and actual losses could exceed the amounts accrued by an amount that could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in any particular reporting period.
Regulatory. 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. 

Note 11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and commodity prices. To reduce its exposure to such risks, the Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may 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. The Company does not use any financial contracts for trading purposes. The derivative contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The amount of such credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains, if any, in such contracts. Such risk is minimized by limiting those counterparties to major financial institutions of high credit quality.
The Company conducts business in various locations throughout the world and is subject to market risk associated with certain product sourcing activities and intercompany cash flows due to changes in the value of foreign currencies in relation to its reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. 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. The Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso. The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than one year. The Company’s open foreign currency contracts, with maturities through June 2024, met the criteria for cash flow hedges.
The Company manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to optimize its interest costs. The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable interest rate payments for the Term Loan Facility. In connection with these contracts, the Company pays interest based upon a fixed rate and receives variable rate interest payments based on adjusted Term SOFR. These contracts, with maturities through February 2026, met the criteria for cash flow hedges.

Commodity hedging contracts are 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 commodity contracts generally have maturities of less than one year.

Note 12. Segment Reporting
On January 1, 2022, the Company began management of its portfolio of businesses under a new basis as a result of the divestiture of the GEM and Taylor-Dunn businesses. As such, the Global Adjacent Markets segment was eliminated and the results of the Company’s remaining businesses historically included within the Global Adjacent Markets segment were reclassified to the Off Road and On Road segments. All historical segment results were reclassified for comparability.
On June 30, 2022, the Company again began management of its portfolio of businesses under a new basis as a result of the divestiture of TAP. As such, the Aftermarket segment was eliminated and the results of the Company’s remaining aftermarket businesses historically included within the Aftermarket segment were reclassified to the Off Road and On Road segments. All historical segment results were reclassified for comparability.
The Company’s reportable segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting and are comprised of various product offerings that serve multiple end markets. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. 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 three operating segments: 1) Off Road, 2) On Road, and 3) Marine which are all reportable segments. The Corporate amounts include costs that are not allocated to segments, including certain unallocated manufacturing costs and the impacts from certain foreign currency transactions. Businesses that are presented as discontinued operations are excluded from the table below.

Item 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion pertains to the results of operations and financial position of Polaris Inc., a Minnesota corporation, for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2022. The terms “Polaris,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” as used herein refer to the business and operations of Polaris 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; military and commercial off-road vehicles; snowmobiles; motorcycles; moto-roadsters; quadricycles; boats; and related Parts, Garments and Accessories (“PG&A”), which includes 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. Unless otherwise noted, all “quarter” comparisons are from the first quarter of 2023 to the first quarter of 2022. Estimates related to industry retail sales are unaudited and based on internally-generated management estimates, including estimates based on extrapolations from third-party surveys of the industries in which we compete, and are subject to change.
Overview
First quarter sales totaled $2,179.7 million, an increase of 22 percent from last year’s first quarter sales of $1,781.5 million. Our first quarter sales to customers in North America increased 24 percent and our sales to customers outside of North America increased 16 percent. The increase in sales in the quarter was driven primarily by increased shipments, favorable product mix, and higher net pricing.
Our gross profit of $469.2 million increased 33 percent from $352.9 million in the comparable prior year first quarter. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased primarily due to increased shipments and favorable product mix. Net income from continuing operations attributable to Polaris of $113.4 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, compared to 2022 first quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to Polaris of $74.1 million, or $1.21 per diluted share. We reported first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $238.1 million, compared to 2022 first quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $164.0 million. For information on how we define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of net income from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
During the third quarter of 2022, we completed the sale of our Transamerican Auto Parts (“TAP”) business, an aftermarket parts business. The results of TAP have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased during the quarter, primarily due to increased net pricing and lower input costs, partially offset by higher finance interest costs and unfavorable product mix.
On Road:
On Road sales, inclusive of PG&A sales, increased 42 percent for the quarter primarily due to increased shipments and favorable product mix, partially offset by lower net pricing. On Road sales to customers outside of North America increased 30 percent for the quarter primarily due to favorable product mix. The average per unit sales price for the On Road segment increased approximately one percent for the quarter primarily due to favorable product mix, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income from continuing operations, excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-cash, non-recurring, or non-operating items impacting net income from continuing operations from time to time. For example, costs associated with our multi-phase supply chain transformation initiative and certain corporate restructuring activities, such as divestitures, are included as non-GAAP adjustments. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
We believe that these measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income from continuing operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

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, repurchases and retirement of common stock, capital investments, new product development and cash dividends to shareholders. The seasonality of production and shipments cause working capital requirements to fluctuate during the year and year to year.
We believe that existing cash balances, 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 at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.

Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of continuing operations:
($ in millions)Three months ended March 31,
20232022Change
Total cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities$124.2 $(38.4)$162.6 
Investing activities(89.1)(37.6)(51.5)
Financing activities(41.6)(48.5)6.9 

Operating Activities:
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was primarily the result of lower working capital additions and higher net income from continuing operations.
Investing Activities:
The primary uses of cash were for the purchase of property, equipment and tooling for continued capacity and capability at our manufacturing and distribution facilities and for product development, and distributions from and contributions to Polaris Acceptance. Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations increased due to an increase in property, equipment and tooling purchases and a net decrease in distributions from Polaris Acceptance.
26

Table of Contents
Financing Activities:
The decrease in net cash used for financing activities was primarily due to lower share repurchases, mostly offset by decreased net borrowings under debt arrangements. We recorded $45.0 million of net borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $147.8 million of net borrowings for the comparable period in 2022.
Financing Arrangements:
We are party to an unsecured Master Note Purchase Agreement, as amended and supplemented, under which we have issued senior notes. As of March 31, 2023, outstanding borrowings under the Master Note Purchase Agreement totaled $350.0 million.
We are also party to an unsecured credit agreement, which includes a $1.0 billion variable interest rate Revolving Loan Facility that matures in June 2026, under which we have unsecured borrowings. As of March 31, 2023, there were borrowings of $371.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility. Our credit agreement also includes a Term Loan Facility, on which $816.0 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2023. Interest is charged at rates based on adjusted Term SOFR for the credit facility. As of March 31, 2023, we had $621.5 million of availability on the Revolving Loan Facility.
In December 2021, the Company amended the credit facility to provide an unsecured incremental 364-day term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) in the amount of $500 million, which was fully drawn on closing. In December 2022, the Company further amended its unsecured credit facility to extend the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loan to December 15, 2023. There are no required principal payments prior to the maturity date. In addition to the payment of the $500 million Incremental Term Loan, the Company is required to make principal payments under the Term Loan Facility totaling $45 million over the next 12 months.
The credit agreements governing the facility and the Master Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The agreements also require the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 on a rolling four quarter basis.
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, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana which manufactures boats (“Boat Holdings”). As a component of the Boat Holdings merger agreement, we have committed to make a series of deferred payments to the former owners through July 2030. The original discounted payable was for $76.7 million, of which $55.3 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. Our debt to total capital ratio was 65 percent as of March 31, 2023. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023, we had letters of credit outstanding of $33.3 million, primarily related to purchase obligations for raw materials.
Share Repurchases:
As of March 31, 2023, our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $300.5 million of our common stock. We repurchased a total of 0.5 million shares of our common stock for $62.8 million during the first three months of 2023, which had a favorable impact on diluted net income from continuing operations per share of one cent.
Wholesale Customer Financing Arrangements:
We have arrangements with certain finance companies to provide secured floor plan financing for our dealers. These arrangements provide liquidity by financing dealer purchases of our products without the use of our working capital. A majority of the worldwide sales of snowmobiles, ORVs, motorcycles, boats and related PG&A are financed under similar arrangements whereby we receive payment within a few days of shipment of the product. We participate in the cost of dealer financing up to certain limits.
Under these arrangements, we have agreed to repurchase products repossessed by these finance companies. As of March 31, 2023, the potential aggregate repurchase obligations were approximately $558.1 million. Our financial exposure under these repurchase agreements 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 these agreements during the periods presented.

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, 2022 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
28

Table of Contents
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Refer below for further discussion on commodity cost risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk.
Inflation:
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 our end products. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials are subject to price fluctuations. We generally buy these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. Based on our current outlook for commodity prices, the total impact of commodities, including tariff costs, is expected to have a positive impact on our gross profit margins for full-year 2023 when compared to 2022.
Foreign Exchange Rates:
The changing relationships of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies can have a material impact on our financial results.
Euro: We have operations in the Eurozone through wholly owned subsidiaries and distributors. We also purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in Euros. Fluctuations in the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate impacts 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, Mexico and Australia, through wholly owned subsidiaries. We also sell to certain distributors in other countries. We also purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in these foreign currencies. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to these other currencies impacts sales, cost of sales and net income.
We actively manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates by entering into foreign exchange hedging contracts. A portion of our foreign currency exposure is mitigated with the following open foreign currency hedging contracts as of March 31, 2023:
Foreign Currency 
Foreign currency hedging contracts
Currency PositionNotional amounts (in millions of U.S. Dollars)
Average exchange rate of open contracts 
Australian DollarLong$15.6 $0.69 to 1 AUD
Canadian DollarLong94.7 $0.74 to 1 CAD
Mexican PesoShort113.1 20 Peso to $1
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, after consideration of the existing foreign currency hedging contracts, foreign currencies had a negative impact on net income compared to 2022. We expect currencies to have a negative impact on full-year net income from continuing operations in 2023 compared to 2022.
The assets and liabilities in all our international 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 consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and expenses in all of our international entities are translated at the average foreign exchange rate in effect for each month of the year. 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.
Interest Rates:  
We are a party to an unsecured credit agreement with various lenders consisting of a $1.0 billion revolving loan facility, a $1.2 billion term loan facility, and a $500 million incremental term loan. Interest accrues on the revolving loan, term loans, and the incremental term loan at variable rates based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined. As of March 31, 2023, there was $371.0 million outstanding on the revolving loan, $816.0 million outstanding on the term loan, and $500 million outstanding on the incremental term loan. We enter into interest rate swaps in order to maintain a balanced risk of fixed and floating interest rates associated with our debt. We expect interest rates to have a negative impact on full-year net income from continuing operations in 2023 compared to 2022.

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 Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 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 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 control over financial reporting during the latest fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are involved in a number of legal proceedings incidental to our business, none of which is presently expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or the financial results of our business.
As of the date hereof, we are party to putative class actions brought by the same plaintiff’s counsel and largely repeating the same allegations regarding various state consumer protection laws focused on rollover protection structures’ certifications for various Polaris off-road vehicles sold in California and Oregon. The first case brought related to this matter—Guzman—was first reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The district court granted summary judgment against both plaintiffs’ claims, which the plaintiffs appealed. The Ninth Circuit issued two rulings in September 2022 that reversed the district court’s summary judgment rulings and remanded the case to the district court with instructions to dismiss one plaintiff’s claims without prejudice. The plaintiff whose claims were dismissed without prejudice refiled a putative class action in California State Court under the name Albright. The second case—Hellman/Berlanga—was first reported in the Company’s quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2021. Additional similar putative class actions on behalf of certain plaintiffs dismissed from the Hellman/Berlanga case have been filed in Texas (Lollar), Nevada (Mitchell), and Oregon (Artoff), though the Lollar and Mitchell matters have since been dismissed, and another plaintiff from the Hellman/Berlanga matter, Michael Hellman, has been dismissed.
As previously reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, the district court in In re Polaris dismissed half of the plaintiffs and their claims related to alleged fire hazards in certain Polaris products. Plaintiffs’ counsel voluntarily dismissed the remaining plaintiffs to appeal. The Eighth Circuit affirmed dismissal of the claims brought by plaintiffs who had appealed. On April 28, 2022, the In re Polaris plaintiffs’ counsel filed a new, substantially similar putative class action in California State Court, seeking damages for alleged economic loss: James DeBiasio v. Polaris Industries Inc. (County of Los Angeles, Ca.). We removed the matter to federal court (C.D. Cal.) in June 2022 and have moved to dismiss the plaintiff’s claims; plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case. The district court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand and granted our motion to dismiss, allowing plaintiff to file an amended complaint. We moved to dismiss plaintiff’s amended complaint, which the Court denied in March 2023.
As previously reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, the district court in Johannessohn denied class certification related to plaintiffs’ claims of excessive heat hazards in Sportsman ATVs. The Eighth Circuit subsequently affirmed that denial. On June 13, 2022, the Johannessohn plaintiffs’ counsel filed a new, substantially similar putative class action in Minnesota state court, seeking damages for alleged economic loss: Jay Miller, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Polaris Inc. (4th Dist. Minn.). After we moved to dismiss, the Miller court dismissed plaintiff’s class claims with prejudice, leaving only his individual claims for alleged economic loss. The parties to the Johannessohn and Miller cases, as well as the parties to two other related cases filed by the Johannessohn
30

Table of Contents
plaintiffs’ counsel against the Company in Minnesota federal court (McClure and Herron), have agreed in principle to settle those matters on a non-class basis. That settlement is not yet final.
With respect to each of these putative class action lawsuits, we are unable to provide any reasonable evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or any reasonable 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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.
