MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 24, 2017--Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) today reported third quarter 2017 sales of $1,478.7 million, up 25percent from $1,185.1 million for the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted sales, which excludes the impact from Victory Motorcycles ® net sales for the third quarter of2017, were $1,480.3 million for the 2017 third quarter, up 25 percent. The Company reported third quarter 2017 net income of $81.9 million, or $1.28 per dilutedshare, compared with net income of $32.3 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the 2016 third quarter. The reported net income includes costs related to the winddown of Victory Motorcycles, certain Transamerican Auto Parts ("TAP") integration costs, and manufacturing network realignment costs. Adjusted net income forthe quarter ended September 30, 2017, excluding these costs, was $93.5 million, or $1.46 per diluted share.
“Our emphatic return to profitable growth in the third quarter was a testament to the power of the Polaris brand, the strength of our dealer network and thecompetitive drive of the Polaris team. During the quarter, strong retail growth in both North America and nearly all of our International markets drove record salesand highlighted our ongoing product innovation, improving product quality and sharpened execution. We delivered North American unit retail sales growth of 13percent and overall Company sales growth of 25 percent, about half of which was organic, while lowering North American dealer inventory seven percent year-over-year. Results were strong throughout our portfolio, led by Indian Motorcycles’ exceptional performance as they accelerated share gains and outpaced adeclining North American motorcycle market while also delivering strong growth in Europe, Australia and Asia. I am particularly proud of the improvedperformance from our Off-Road Vehicle business, which was fueled by a well-planned and executed Factory Authorized Clearance sale and the strong reception ofour model year 2018 introductions. Encouragingly, RZR retail sales were especially strong in the quarter, and we had our best ATV retail quarter in two years.Delivering such strong results, while also launching the all new RANGER XP 1000, the best utility side-by-side ever built, is a fitting way for Matt Homan to wrapup his influential 15 year run with Polaris. I want to thank Matt for his significant contribution and wish him continued success in his career. Welcoming ChrisMusso earlier this month was also a major victory and we are excited to have him grab the reins of our industry-leading ORV business,” commented Scott Wine,Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Industries.
“Most importantly, strong total Company sales growth translated to bottom-line improvement. Despite higher than expected costs for warranty and re-work andcomplications from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, we delivered significant operating profit growth and earnings per share expansion for the quarter. With stronggrowth in revenue, profitability and cash flow I feel very good about the performance of the Polaris team and our improved outlook for the fourth Quarter andbeyond,” said Wine.
Off-Road Vehicle (“ORV”) and Snowmobile segment sales, including their respective PG&A related sales, were $1,007.4 million for the third quarter of 2017,up 12 percent over $895.6 million for the third quarter of the prior year driven primarily by improved side-by-sides shipments. PG&A sales for ORV andSnowmobiles combined, increased five percent in the 2017 third quarter compared to the third quarter last year. Gross profit increased 34 percent to $296.9million, or 29.5 percent of sales, in the third quarter of 2017, compared to $221.6 million, or 24.7 percent of sales, in the third quarter of 2016. Gross profitpercentage increased primarily due to product mix as well as lower year over year warranty costs.
ORV wholegood sales for the third quarter of 2017 increased 13 percent primarily driven by strong RZR shipments. Polaris North American ORV unit retailsales for the third quarter of 2017 were up mid-teens percent from the 2016 third quarter, with both side-by-side vehicles and ATVs up mid-teens percent.The North American ORV industry was up high-single digits percent compared to the third quarter last year. ORV dealer inventory was down 12 percent inthe 2017 third quarter compared to the same period last year.
Snowmobile wholegood sales in the third quarter of 2017 increased 20 percent to $144.2 million due to timing of shipments year-over-year, as the Companymanufactured and shipped its snowmobiles later in 2016.
Motorcycle segment sales, including PG&A, totaled $155.1 million, a decrease of 14 percent compared to $181.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2016which included $39.4 million of Victory Motorcycle wholegood, accessory and apparel sales. Indian motorcycle wholegood sales increased in the low twentypercent range in the third quarter driven by new product introductions and improving brand awareness. This increase somewhat offset lower Slingshot ® sales.Gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 was $10.4 million compared to $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted for the Victory Motorcycles winddown costs of $7.6 million, motorcycle gross profit was $17.9 million, down from the third quarter last year due primarily to lower Slingshot volume.
North American consumer retail demand for the Polaris motorcycle segment, including Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot, was up mid-single digits percent duringthe 2017 third quarter. Indian Motorcycles increased retail sales 16 percent, partly driven by new model introductions including the new Chieftain Elite andLimited models and Roadmaster Classic. Indian Motorcycle market share surpassed the ten percent mark in September. Slingshot's retail sales were down althoughthe rate of decline decelerated during the quarter. Motorcycle industry retail sales, 900cc and above, were down high-single digits percent in the 2017 third quarter.
Global Adjacent Markets segment sales along with its PG&A related sales, increased 17 percent to $91.6 million in the 2017 third quarter compared to $78.5million in the 2016 third quarter. Reported gross profit decreased 27 percent to $16.0 million, or 17.5 percent of sales, in the third quarter of 2017, compared to$21.8 million, or 27.8 percent of sales, in the third quarter of 2016. Adjusted gross profit, excluding the manufacturing realignment costs, increased 2 percent to$22.2 million, or 24.2 percent of sales for the third quarter 2017. Work and Transportation group wholegood sales were up 17 percent during the third quarter of2017 primarily due to an increase in sales in the Company's Aixam quadricycles and Goupil light-utility businesses.
Aftermarket segment sales, which include Transamerican Auto Parts ("TAP"), along with the Company's other aftermarket brands of Klim ® , Kolpin ® , ProArmor ® , Trail Tech ® and 509 ® , increased significantly to $224.7 million in the 2017 third quarter compared to $29.9 million in the 2016 third quarter. TAPadded $190.6 million of sales in the third quarter of 2017. Gross profit increased significantly to $63.2 million, or 28.1 percent of sales in third quarter of 2017,compared to $10.6 million, or 35.5 percent of sales, in the third quarter of 2016. Sales and gross profit dollars were up primarily due to the addition of TAPacquired in the fourth quarter of 2016. TAP sales grew four percent in the third quarter of 2017 compared to last year on a proforma basis, had Polaris owned TAPfor the full year 2016.
SupplementalData:
Parts,Garments,andAccessories(“PG&A”)sales, excluding Aftermarket segment sales, increased seven percent for the 2017 third quarter. All segmentsand categories increased sales during the quarter.
Internationalsalesto customers outside of North America, including PG&A, totaled $156.8 million for the third quarter of 2017, up 11 percent, from thesame period in 2016. Sales in EMEA and Asia Pacific increased low-double digits percent in the third quarter with Latin America growing sales mid-singledigits during the quarter.
Gross profit increased 40 percent to $364.0 million for the third quarter of 2017 from $260.8 million in the third quarter of 2016. As a percentage of sales,reported gross profit margin was 24.6 percent compared with 22.0 percent of sales for the third quarter of 2016. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2017 includesthe negative impact of $7.6 million of Victory Motorcycles wind down costs and manufacturing network realignment costs of $6.2 million. Excluding these items,adjusted gross profit was $377.7 million, or 25.5 percent of sales. Gross profit margins on an adjusted basis improved due to increased volume, lower warranty,significant gross VIP cost savings and positive product mix, somewhat offset by higher promotional costs. Sequentially, adjusted gross profit margins were 130basis points lower than the 2017 second quarter primarily due to higher warranty and the added costs from a combination of supply chain and natural disasterrelated headwinds during the quarter.
Operating expenses increased 19 percent for the third quarter of 2017 to $265.2 million from $222.6 million in the same period in 2016, which included $1.3million in Victory wind down costs and $3.5 million of TAP integration expenses. Excluding these costs, operating expenses increased primarily due to theaddition of operating expenses from TAP, as well as increased research and development expenses and increased selling and marketing costs related to theintroduction of new products, offset somewhat by lower legal related expenses.
Income from financial services was $18.1 million for the third quarter of 2017, down six percent compared with $19.2 million for the third quarter of 2016. Thedecrease is attributable to lower income generated from the wholesale portfolio due to the lower dealer inventory levels.
Non-operating other expense (income), net , was $2.4 million of income for the third quarter of 2017, versus $5.7 million of expense in the third quarter of 2016.The change primarily relates to foreign currency exchange rate movements and the corresponding effects on foreign currency transactions related to theCompany’s foreign subsidiaries.
The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2017 was $27.3 million or 25.0 percent of pretax income compared with $13.5 million or 29.5 percent ofpretax income for the third quarter of 2016. The decrease in the provision for income taxes as a percent of pretax income is primarily due to the benefit recognizedfrom certain favorable outcomes of federal tax audits in the 2017 third quarter and the adoption of the new employee share-based accounting standard adopted inthe first quarter of 2017.
Financial Position and Cash Flow Net cash provided by operating activities was $494.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $426.2 million for the same period in2016. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the 2017 period was due to the timing of accounts payable and accrued expense payments, aswell as collection of tax receivables, somewhat offset by lower net income and higher factory inventory. Total debt at September 30, 2017, including capital leaseobligations and notes payable, was $920.0 million. The Company’s debt-to-total capital ratio was 51 percent at September 30, 2017, compared to 32 percent a yearago due primarily to the financing of the TAP acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents were $132.3 million at September 30, 2017, up from $122.7 million for thesame period in 2016.
Share Buyback Activity During the third quarter of 2017, the Company repurchased and retired 257,000 shares of its common stock for $23.3 million. Year-to-date through September 30,2017, the Company has repurchased and retired 1,015,000 shares of its common stock for $88.9 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has authorizationfrom its Board of Directors to repurchase up to an additional 6.4 million shares of Polaris common stock.

The Company nowexpects adjusted net income to be in the range of $4.75 to $4.85 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net income of $3.48 per diluted share for 2016. Full year2017 adjusted sales are now anticipated to increase in the range of 18 percent to 19 percent over 2016 sales of $4,516.6 million.

The decision is expected to improve the long-termprofitability of Polaris and its global motorcycle business, while materially improving the Company’s competitive position in the industry.
