PART I

Item 1. Business

Polaris Inc., formerly known as Polaris Industries Inc., a Minnesota corporation, was formed in 1994 and is the successor to Polaris Industries Partners LP. 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; snowmobiles; motorcycles; moto-roadsters; quadricicycles; and boats. We also design and manufacture or source parts, garments and accessories (“PG&A”), which includes aftermarket accessories and apparel. Our products are sold online and through dealers and distributors principally located in the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and Mexico.

Business Segments

We operate in three business segments; Off Road, On Road, and Marine. Our products are sold through a network of over 2,500 independent dealers in North America, over 1,500 independent international dealers through over 25 subsidiaries, and over 90 independent distributors in over 100 countries outside of North America. A majority of our dealers and distributors are multi-line and also carry competitor products, however some dealers carry our full line of products and, while relatively consistent, the actual number of dealers carrying our products can vary from time to time.

Off Road:

The Off Road segment primarily consists of ORVs and snowmobiles. ORVs are four-wheel vehicles designed for off- road use and traversing a wide variety of terrain, including dunes, trails, and mud. The vehicles can be multi-passenger or single passenger, are used for recreation in such sports as fishing and hunting and for trail and dune riding, and for utility purposes on farms, ranches, and construction sites. The ORV industry is comprised of ATVs and side-by-side vehicles. Internationally, ATVs and side-by-sides are sold primarily in Western European countries by similar manufacturers as in North America.

Estimated North America and worldwide ORV industry retail sales are summarized as follows:

See Market and Industry Data section for additional information.

Twelve months ended December 31,

The side-by-side market has been consistently strong over the past several years primarily due to continued innovation by manufacturers. In 2022, we continued to be the North America market share leader in off-road vehicles. Our ORV lineup includes the RZR sport side-by-side, the RANGER utility side-by-side, the GENERAL crossover side-by-side, and the Sportsman ATV. The full line spans 91 models, including two-, four- and six-wheel drive general purpose and recreational vehicles. In many of our segments, we offer youth, value, mid-size, premium and extreme-performance vehicles, which come in both single passenger and multi-passenger seating arrangements. Key 2022 ORV product introductions included the RANGER CREW XP 1000 NorthStar Big Game Edition, GENERAL XP 1000 Sport, and GENERAL 1000 Sport.

We design, engineer, produce or supply a variety of replacement parts and Polaris Engineered Accessories for our ORVs. ORV accessories include winches, bumper/brushguards, plows, racks, wheels and tires, pull-behinds, cab systems, lighting and audio systems, cargo box accessories, tracks and oil. We also market a full line of gear and apparel related to our ORVs, including helmets, jackets, gloves, pants and hats. Gear and apparel is designed to our specifications, purchased from independent vendors and sold by us through our dealers, distributors, and online.

3

We sell our ORVs directly to a network of over 1,400 dealers in North America and over 1,100 international dealers. Many of our ORV dealers and distributors are also authorized snowmobile dealers. We produce and deliver our products throughout the year based on dealer, distributor, and customer orders. ORV retail sales activity at the dealer level drives orders which are incorporated into each product’s production scheduling. International distributor ORV orders are taken throughout the year. We utilize our Retail Flow Management (“RFM”) ordering system for ORV dealers, which allows dealers to order daily and create a segment stocking order which helps to reduce order fulfillment times.

The ORV industry in the United States, Canada and other global markets is highly competitive. As an ORV original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), our competition primarily comes from North American and Asian manufacturers. Competition in such markets is based upon a number of factors, including price, quality, reliability, styling, product features and warranties and a manufacturer’s ability to timely produce vehicles in response to increased consumer demand.

Snowmobiles have been manufactured under the Polaris name since 1954. We estimate that worldwide industry sales of snowmobiles totaled approximately 130,000, 135,000, and 125,000 units for the 12 month seasons ended March 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

For the 12 month season ended March 31, 2022, we held the number two market share position for North America. We produce a full line of snowmobiles consisting of 68 models, ranging from youth models to utility and economy models to performance and competition models. Polaris snowmobiles are sold principally in the United States, Canada, and Northern Europe.

Key model introductions in 2022 included the new Patriot Boost Indy VR1, Patriot Boost Switchback Assault, 9R Pro RMK Slash, and 9R RMK Khaos Slash. We also launched the ProStar S4 engine available for Indy, Voyageur and Titan snowmobiles. We also manufacture a snow bike conversion kit system under the Timbersled brand and in 2022 we launched the ARO 3 Gen 2 Platform, Quick Drive Timbersled (QDT) belt drive system, and more trim levels and options.

We design, engineer, produce or supply a variety of replacement parts and Polaris Engineered Accessories for our snowmobiles and snow bike conversion kits. Snowmobile accessories include covers, traction products, reverse kits, electric starters, tracks, bags, windshields, oil and lubricants. We also market a full line of gear and apparel for our snowmobiles, including helmets, goggles, jackets, gloves, boots, bibs, pants and hats. Gear and apparel is purchased from independent vendors and sold by us through our dealers, distributors, and online.

We sell our snowmobiles directly to a network of over 580 dealers in North America, primarily located in the snowbelt regions of the United States and Canada, and over 300 international dealers. We offer a pre-order SnowCheck program in the spring for our customers that assists us in production planning. This program allows our customers to order a true factory-customized snowmobile by selecting various options, including chassis, track, suspension, colors and accessories. Manufacturing of snowmobiles generally commences in late winter of the previous season and continues through late autumn or early winter of the current season.

The global snowmobile industry is primarily comprised of North American and Japanese competitors. Competitive market share position is driven heavily by product news (styling, technology, performance) and attractiveness of promotional incentives.

Our commercial and government/defense businesses design and manufacture vehicles that support various commercial and government applications for transporting people and hauling equipment, as well as tactical defense vehicles. Our defense vehicles, which include ATVs and side-by-side vehicles with features specifically designed for military applications, provide versatile mobility for up to nine passengers, and include our DAGOR, Sportsman MV and MRZR models. We offer 39 models across our brands.

Our commercial and government/defense businesses each have their own distribution networks outside of our traditional dealer channels through which their respective vehicles are distributed. ProXD, one of our vehicle brands, is sold through a growing network of over 190 dealers and also direct to customer where permitted.

4

The Off Road segment also designs and sells various PG&A related to its vehicles and aftermarket products. These products include our OEM brands as well as other portfolio brands including Kolpin, Pro Armor, Klim, 509, and Trail Tech. Kolpin, Pro Armor and Trail Tech serve various accessory related needs, where Kolpin is a lifestyle brand specializing in purpose-built and universal-fit accessories for a variety of off-road vehicles and off-road outdoor enthusiasts and Pro Armor offers a lineup that specializes in accessories for performance side-by-side vehicles, snowmobiles and ATVs. Brands in our Apparel category include Klim, which specializes in premium technical riding gear for snowmobile and off-road activities, and 509, which is an aftermarket leader in snowmobile and off-road apparel, helmets and goggles. Kolpin, Pro Armor and Trail Tech are marketed through Apex Product Group, a unified sales, customer service, distribution and vertically integrated manufacturing organization. Apex allows us to access customers through strategic retail and e-commerce marketplaces, as well as dealerships (Polaris and non-Polaris), to reach owners of Polaris and other OEM’s products. Klim and 509 each have their own dealer/distributor networks.

On Road:

Our On Road segment designs and manufactures motorcycles, moto-roadsters, light duty hauling, and passenger vehicles.

Motorcycles are utilized as a mode of transportation as well as for recreational purposes. The industry is comprised of several segments. We currently compete in three segments: cruisers, touring (including three-wheel), and standard motorcycles. Competition in these segments of the motorcycle industry is based on a number of factors, including styling, price, quality, reliability and the dealer network supporting the brand.

Estimated combined 900cc and above cruiser, touring, and standard market segments (including the moto-roadster Slingshot®) motorcycle industry sales in North America and worldwide are summarized as follows:

See Market and Industry Data section for additional information.

Twelve months ended December 31,

In 2022, we held the number two position in North America market share for the 900cc+ category. Our motorcycles lineup includes Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot, a three-wheel open air roadster. Our 2023 model year line of motorcycles for Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot consists of 35 models. In 2022, Indian Motorcycle launched its all-new 2023 lineup featuring enhanced style and technology with its groundbreaking FTR lineup and three new limited edition Elite motorcycles. Polaris Slingshot launched its all-new 2023 lineup, including the Slingshot ROUSH® Edition as a new partnership collaboration with ROUSH® Performance.

We design, engineer, produce or source a variety of replacement parts and accessories for our motorcycles. Motorcycle accessories include saddle bags, handlebars, backrests, exhausts, windshields, seats, oil and various chrome accessories. We also market a full line of gear and apparel for our motorcycles, including helmets, jackets, leathers and hats. Gear and apparel is purchased from independent vendors and sold by us through our dealers, distributors, and online under our brand names.

Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot are distributed directly through independently owned dealers and distributors. Indian Motorcycles are sold through a network of over 200 dealers in North America and over 350 international dealers. Slingshot currently has over 350 dealers globally. We utilize our RFM ordering system for motorcycle dealers, which allows dealers to order daily and create a segment stocking order which helps to reduce order fulfillment times.

We also design and manufacture vehicles that support various commercial and industrial work applications and include products in the light-duty hauling, industrial and urban/suburban commuting sub-sectors. Our vehicle brands include Goupil and Aixam which are primarily marketed in Western Europe. We offer 14 models across these brands. These businesses each have their own distribution networks through which their respective vehicles are distributed. Goupil and Aixam sell directly to customers in France, through subsidiaries in certain Western European countries and through several dealers and distributors for markets outside such countries.

5

The On Road segment also designs and sells various PG&A related to its vehicles and aftermarket products. These products include our OEM brands as well as other portfolio brands including Klim.

Marine:

Our Marine segment designs and manufactures boats which are designed to compete in key segments of the recreational marine industry, specifically pontoon and deck boats. Inclusive of the segments in which we compete, we estimate total U.S. 2022 powerboats market sales were approximately $14.0 billion, with pontoon being one of the larger segments therein.

Our brands include Bennington, Godfrey, and Hurricane, which together provide a full offering of pontoon and deck boats. These brands are strategically positioned with over 500 base models across a range of price points. We also offer custom layouts and features and work with most engine manufacturers enabling customers to build a boat that meets their specifications. We believe that the combination of our Bennington and Godfrey brands is projected to be the market share leader in pontoon boats.

In 2022, Polaris Marine launched the MY 2023 boats for the Bennington, Godfrey and Hurricane brands. Notable launches include Bennington’s LX Sport that introduced sleek rails, sport furniture, and intuitive helm design features normally found on premium models on this mid-range boat at an attractive price; Godfrey’s Mighty G cruising and fishing series designed to be powered by electric or gas propulsion; Hurricane’s refreshed lineup of Fun Deck models (1960, 2260, 2360) and the Hurricane SunDeck 2600 OB deck boat as the flagship model with its spacious design, plush interior, and power action tower.

Our extensive, experienced and loyal network of over 550 active dealers is a competitive advantage, helping to generate steady demand. Concentrated primarily in North America, this dealer network is organized into distinct sales territories supported by experienced sales representatives and leadership. Through the use of offseason incentive programs, we adhere to level production throughout the year, minimizing disruption to the workforce and vendor network.

Polaris Adventures

Our Polaris Adventures business partners with local outfitters to deliver unique ride experiences leveraging many of our global vehicle platforms. The Polaris Adventures network completed over 350,000 rides in over 190 locations in 2022. The financial results of the Polaris Adventures business is included within the Off Road and On Road segments, based on the related vehicle.

Financial Services Arrangements

Floor plan financing. We have arrangements with Polaris Acceptance (United States), a joint venture between Polaris and a subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo affiliates (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China and New Zealand), and a subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated to provide floor plan financing for many of our dealers. A majority of our sales of ORVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, boats, and related PG&A are financed under these arrangements whereby we receive payment within a few days of shipment of our product. We participate in the cost of dealer financing and have agreed to repurchase products from the finance companies under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. No material losses have been incurred under these agreements during the periods presented. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these financial services arrangements.

Customer financing. We do not offer consumer financing directly to the end users of our products. Instead, we have agreements in place with third-party financing companies to provide financing services to those end consumers. We have no material contingent liabilities for residual value or credit collection risk under these agreements.

Manufacturing and Distribution Operations

Our products are primarily assembled at our 19 global manufacturing facilities, many of which are shared across business segments. We are vertically integrated in several key components of our manufacturing process, including plastic injection molding, precision machining, welding, clutch assembly and painting. Raw materials and other component parts are purchased from third-party vendors. We have a long-term supply contract with a boat engine manufacturer, which requires a certain volume of total engine purchases, and includes favorable pricing, as well as various growth and volume incentives.

6

Contract carriers ship our products from our manufacturing and distribution facilities to our customers. We maintain several leased wholegoods distribution centers where final set-up and up-fitting is completed for certain models before shipment to dealers, distributors, and customers.

Our products are distributed to our dealers, distributors, and customers through a network of over 40 distribution centers, including third-party providers.

Sales and Marketing

Our marketing activities are designed primarily to promote and communicate with consumers to enable the marketing and selling efforts of our dealers and distributors globally. We make available and advertise discount or rebate programs, retail financing or other incentives for our dealers and distributors to remain price competitive to accelerate retail sales to consumers. We advertise our brands directly to consumers via digital, television, print, out of home, radio, events and sponsorships. We utilize public relations and partnerships to drive earned media. We provide advertising assets and content and partially underwrite dealer and distributor advertising to a degree and on terms which vary by brand and from year to year. We also provide print materials, signage and other promotional items for use by dealers. We spent $480.8 million, $458.2 million and $429.8 million for sales and marketing activities in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our corporate headquarters facility is in Medina, Minnesota, and we maintain numerous sales and administrative facilities across the world.

Engineering, Research and Development, and New Product Introduction
