CEO COMMENTARY

We maintained our focus on executing for customers, dealers and shareholders. Our results were bolstered by easing supply chain headwinds that enabled us to increase ship volumes and take advantage of our strong pricing strategy, resulting in record sales in the quarter. We believe we are well positioned to meet our commitments for the year, while our team remains highly vigilant and agile should indicators point to shifts in consumer behavior or new market dynamics. Looking forward, our diverse portfolio, commitment to innovation, strong financial position and track record of successfully navigating in various operating environments gives me incredible confidence in Polaris’ ability to deliver long-term profitable growth and shareholder value.

-- Mike Speetzen, Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Inc.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY (Reported)

MINNEAPOLIS (October 25, 2022) - Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII) (the "Company") today released third quarter 2022 results, which ended September 30, 2022. The Company reported worldwide sales of $2,341 million, up 32 percent versus the third quarter of 2021. North America sales of $2,069 million represented 88 percent of total company sales and increased 35 percent from $1,532 million in 2021. International sales of $272 million represented 12 percent of total company sales and increased 10 percent versus the third quarter in 2021. Sales in the third quarter of 2022 were propelled by accelerated shipments towards the latter part of the quarter, as well as higher pricing and favorable mix.

As reported, third quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to Polaris of $190 million increased 63 percent and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") of $3.17 increased 69 percent compared to the third quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Polaris for the quarter was $195 million, up 58 percent and adjusted EPS was $3.25, up 64 percent, in each case as compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Gross profit margin increased 26 basis points to 23.9 percent. Adjusted gross profit margin of 23.9 percent increased 15 basis points driven by higher pricing.

Operating expenses were $317 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $273 million in the third quarter of 2021 due to higher sales and marketing and R&D expense. Operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, of 13.5 percent were down in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Restructuring and Realignment Costs

Polaris announced in 2017 that it was making changes to its network to consolidate production and distribution of like products and better leverage plant capacity and embarked on a multi-phase supply chain transformation initiative to continue to leverage its supply chain as a strategic asset. The Company is also executing certain corporate restructuring across the organization to increase efficiency and focus its business including divesting of the GEM, Taylor-Dunn and Transamerican Auto Parts businesses. For the third quarter of 2022, the Company has recorded combined costs totaling $1.2 million which was included as a NON-GAAP adjustment.

Intangible amortization related to acquisitions

The Company uses an adjusted net income metric which excludes intangible amortization from all historical business acquisitions. The Company believes this NON-GAAP information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions the Company completes. For the third quarter of 2022, Polaris recorded $5 million of intangible amortization related to acquisitions as a NON-GAAP adjustment.

2022 Adjusted Guidance

2022 guidance excludes the pre-tax effect of supply chain transformation, restructuring and network realignment costs of approximately $10 million, and approximately $5 to $10 million for class action litigation-related expenses. Intangible amortization of approximately $20 million related to all acquisitions has also been excluded. The Company has not provided reconciliations of guidance for adjusted diluted net income per share, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include restructuring and realignment costs and acquisition integration costs that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.
