FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Harley-Davidson Delivers Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Successfully Completing the Third Year of Hardwire Strategic Plan


MILWAUKEE (February 8, 2024) - Harley-Davidson, Inc. (“Harley-Davidson,” “HDI,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HOG) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2023 results.

“In the third year of our Hardwire strategy we have made progress in key elements of our strategic plan - focusing on our most profitable products and markets, which we believe will continue to yield benefits to the business and have set us up for long-term value creation despite the current challenging environment for the industry,” said Jochen Zeitz, Chairman, President and CEO, Harley-Davidson. “We are excited by the early read of our new Model Year launch, the most comprehensive product development in the touring platform in well over 10 years, that will redefine the Harley-Davidson Grand American Touring experience for years to come and lay the foundation to drive retail sales growth in ’24.”

The result was driven by an operating loss of $44 million at HDMC, a decline of 10 percent at HDFS, and an operating loss of $35 million in the LiveWire segment.

For the full year, consolidated revenue was up 1 percent, driven by a revenue increase of 16 percent at HDFS, partially offset by a revenue decline of 1 percent at HDMC.

In the fourth quarter, global motorcycle shipments at HDMC decreased 13 percent due to prudent dealer inventory management and market conditions. Revenue was down 14 percent, due to lower volumes, where improved mix was offset by incentive spend. Parts & Accessories revenue was down 14 percent largely in-line with revenue from Motorcycles. Apparel revenue was down 21 percent driven by high dealer inventory levels resulting in lower replenishment.

Fourth quarter gross margin was down 3.6 points behind the impacts of lower volume, higher sales incentives, and other manufacturing costs, more than offsetting the benefits of shipment mix and lower raw material costs. Fourth quarter operating margin fell by 2.1 points due to the factors above, where operating expenses were lower in the quarter due in part to LiveWire transaction costs in the prior year’s period.

In the fourth quarter, global retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles were down 11 percent versus prior year. North America retail performance was down 9 percent and continues to be impacted by both the high interest rate environment and the discontinuation of legacy Sportster at the end of 2022 in the region. The decline in EMEA of 22 percent was driven by weakness in the France and German markets. The decline in APAC of 10 percent was driven by

weakness in the Australian and New Zealand markets. Latin America sales increases were driven by growth in both Brazil and in Mexico.

For the full year, global retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles were down 9 percent versus prior year. North American retail performance continues to be adversely impacted by higher interest rates, economic uncertainty, and lower sales of non-core motorcycles. EMEA retail has been adversely impacted by sluggish economic growth and the planned mix shift towards the profitable core product segments. APAC retail performance experienced strong growth in the first half of the year but slowed in the second half of the year, with overall growth in Japan for the year.

HDFS revenue was up $32 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 15 percent versus prior year, driven primarily by higher interest income. HDFS operating income decline of $6 million, or down 10 percent, was driven by higher interest expense, higher operating expenses, and an increased provision for credit losses. The increase in the provision for credit losses was driven by several factors relating to the current macroeconomic environment. Total quarter ending net finance receivables were $7.5 billion, which was up 5 percent versus prior year, driven primarily by an increase in wholesale commercial lending receivables.

The Company’s ability to sell its motorcycles and related products and services and to meet its financial expectations also depends on the ability of the Company’s dealers to sell its motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends on the capability and financial capacity of its dealers to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from the Company. In addition, the Company’s dealers and distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related products and services as a result of weather, economic conditions, or other factors.

In recent years, Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS) experienced historically low levels of retail credit losses, but credit losses have been normalizing to higher levels in recent quarters. Further, the Company believes that HDFS's retail credit losses will continue to change over time due to changing consumer credit behavior, macroeconomic conditions including the impact of inflation and HDFS's efforts to increase prudently structured loan approvals to sub-prime borrowers. In addition, HDFS’s efforts to adjust underwriting criteria based on market and economic conditions and the actions that the Company has taken and could take that impact motorcycle values may impact HDFS’s retail credit losses.

The Company's operations, demand for its products, and its liquidity could be adversely impacted by work stoppages, facility closures, strikes, natural causes, widespread infectious disease, terrorism, war or other hostilities, including the conflict in Ukraine and the conflict between Israel and Hamas, or other factors. Refer to “Risk Factors” under Item 1.A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of additional risk factors and a more complete discussion of some of the cautionary statements noted above.
