Operating Income Margin13.5%19.6%-6.1 pts.

Third quarter global motorcycle shipments decreased 20 percent, due to the production suspension announced in late Q2 2023, prudent dealer inventory management and market conditions, in line with our latest guidance. Revenue was down 9 percent, with improved mix and global pricing partially offsetting unit declines. Parts & Accessories revenue was down 8 percent largely in-line with revenue from Motorcycles. Apparel revenue was down 29 percent driven by lower volumes in North America.

Third quarter gross margin was down 2.7 points behind the impacts of lower volumes, unfavorable manufacturing impacts, and foreign currency, more than offsetting the benefits of pricing and shipment mix. Third quarter operating income margin fell by 6.1 points due to higher operating expense, including higher people costs and marketing spend.

Global retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the third quarter were down 16 percent versus prior year, adversely impacted primarily by macro conditions in key geographies. North America retail performance was down 15 percent, impacted by both the high interest rate environment in North America and discontinuation of legacy Sportster at the end of 2022. The decline in EMEA of 13 percent was driven by weakness in the German regional market and the planned unit mix shift towards the profitable core product segments. The decline in APAC of 24 percent was primarily driven by weaker than expected demand in China. Latin America sales declines were driven by weakness in Brazil, partially offset by growth in Mexico.

Revenue$244$21215%

HDFS revenue was up $32 million in the third quarter, an increase of 15% versus prior year, driven primarily by higher interest income. HDFS operating income decline of $22 million, or down 27 percent, was driven by an increased provision for credit losses and higher interest expense. 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 $7.7 billion, which was up 4 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, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other factors.

In recent years, Harley-Davidson Financial Services 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 adjust underwriting criteria based on market and economic conditions, as well as actions that the Company has taken and could take that impact motorcycle values.

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, 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.
