Term Loan - On July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a term loan facility that permitted the Company to draw up to $450.0 million on or prior to July 31, 2025. On July 24, 2025, the Company drew $450.0 million under the facility which will mature on July 1, 2027 and carries an interest rate of term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a margin based on the Company's credit rating. The Company used the proceeds to pay down the principal and interest of the $450.0 million 3.50% senior notes that matured in July 2025.
Tax Reform - On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Act) was signed into law. It includes the extension and modification of certain key provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), modification of certain Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) incentives, and other provisions. The Act also introduces a new personal vehicle loan interest deductibility provision that allows some individuals to deduct up to $10,000 per year in interest on new, U.S.-assembled personal vehicles purchased between 2025 and 2028. There are a variety of effective dates in the Act, and only certain key provisions with financial reporting implications are expected to affect the Company's financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. The Company is still evaluating the impact the Act will have on the Company's financial results and consolidated financial statements.
HDFS Transaction - On July 30, 2025, the Company entered into a transaction with two counterparties, relating to HDFS. The key aspects of the transaction include:
•Sale of Existing Retail Finance Receivables: The Company expects to sell the majority of HDFS's existing retail finance receivables, including 95% of its residual interest in retail finance receivables that were transferred to SPEs through on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions. The Company expects the sale of these retail finance receivables will result in the derecognition by the Company of finance receivables and asset-backed securitization debt related to the securitized retail finance receivables. In connection with this sale, the Company also expects to pay down the majority of HDFS's medium-term notes.

The Company expects to sell its retail finance receivables, which would result in the release of the allowance for credit losses associated with these retail finance receivables that, along with the sale of the retail finance receivables, the Company expects will result in a benefit to operating income in the second half of 2025.
•Sale of Future Retail Loan Originations: After the closing of the transaction, the Company expects the counterparties will purchase approximately two-thirds of HDFS's new retail loan originations at a premium over at least a 5-year period, allowing HDFS to reduce its equity carrying value and increase its return-on-equity. The Company expects HDFS will continue to service the future retail loan originations it sells to the counterparties and earn a loan servicing fee.
•Equity Investments in HDFS: The Company expects the counterparties will each pay cash to acquire 4.9% of HDFS based on a multiple of approximately 1.75x HDFS's post-transaction equity carrying value. Seven years after closing the transaction, each counterparty will have the right to exchange their HDFS ownership interest for Harley-Davidson common stock. Three years after closing the transaction, the Company has the right to repurchase the counterparties' ownership interest in HDFS using cash that would otherwise be available to the Company in the form of a dividend from HDFS; however, the Company may not purchase any more than one-third of the counterparties' post-closing HDFS ownership in an individual year.
The Company expects to pay down its $450 million term loan debt and execute discretionary share repurchases using cash available after the sale of finance receivables and reduction in HDFS debt.
The Company expects the transactions to close in the second half of 2025.
