MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Polaris Industries Inc. (NYSE: PII) today reported record fourth quarter
2017 sales of $1,431 million, up 18 percent from $1,218 million for the
fourth quarter of 2016. Adjusted sales for the fourth quarter of 2017
were $1,430 million, up 17 percent from the prior year period. The
Company reported fourth quarter 2017 net income of $31 million, or $0.49
per diluted share, compared with net income of $63 million, or $0.97 per
diluted share, for the 2016 fourth quarter. The reported net income
includes costs related to the wind down of Victory®
Motorcycles, Transamerican Auto Parts ("TAP") integration costs,
restructuring and realignment costs and impacts from U.S. tax reform.
Adjusted net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, excluding
these costs, was $95 million, or $1.47 per diluted share.
“I am proud of the Polaris team and excited to see their dedication and
hard work pay off as we returned the company to sustainable profitable
growth in 2017. Indian Motorcycles® massively outperformed
the Motorcycle industry, building on its existing momentum with a flood
of product news and a very successful year on the race track. We
accelerated North American demand for side-by-sides throughout the year
led by strong retail sales of RANGER® and Polaris
GENERAL™ along with increased international sales growth in all regions
outside North America. Additionally, we made significant investments and
improvements in our people, processes, product innovation and quality,
which led to notable execution improvements in our Off-Road Vehicle
business, marked progress on the TAP integration, and a substantial
upgrade of our quality control systems and infrastructure,” commented
Scott Wine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Industries.
“Between strong demand and our intense focus on delivering high quality
products, in the fourth quarter we experienced some delays in getting
certain model year 2018 Off-Road vehicles into showrooms, which
ultimately affected our North American retail sales velocity. We are
implementing corrective actions to ensure our dealers have the
appropriate mix of inventory on hand as we approach the upcoming peak
retail selling season," continued Wine.
“Looking forward, I could not be more excited about the momentum we have
built. Dealer inventory is approaching optimal levels, our delivery
issues are being addressed, and our product innovation, which continues
to resonate well with consumers, will receive an added boost from
increased engineering spend. Furthermore, today we are unveiling our
revised strategic framework, reaffirming our dedication to bolstering
our market leadership position through a focus on superior productivity,
safety, quality, and customer service. These updated goals and
objectives emphasize top-line growth and margin expansion, which
translates to greater than five percent compound annual sales growth and
15 percent compound annual net income growth over the next five years.
The entire Polaris team is energized and committed to being the Best in
Powersports Plus, growing adjacencies and global markets while
simultaneously improving the safety and quality of our products.
Ultimately we are striving to build a productivity powerhouse, driving
accelerated earnings leverage and asset utilization, that delivers
consistently increasing value for our stakeholders,” Wine concluded.
Off-Road Vehicle (“ORV”) and Snowmobile
segment sales, including their respective PG&A related sales, were $994
million for the fourth quarter of 2017, up 13 percent over $881 million
for the fourth quarter of 2016 driven primarily by improved side-by-side
shipments. PG&A sales for ORV and Snowmobiles combined, increased nine
percent in the 2017 fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter last
year. Gross profit increased 11 percent to $279 million, or 28.0 percent
of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to $252 million, or
28.6 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2016. Gross profit
percentage decreased primarily due to higher warranty and negative
product mix offset somewhat by lower promotional costs.
ORV wholegood sales for the fourth quarter of 2017
increased 14 percent primarily driven by strong RZR®
and RANGER shipments. Polaris North American ORV unit retail
sales for the fourth quarter of 2017 were down low-single digits percent
from the 2016 fourth quarter, with side-by-side vehicles down low-single
digits percent and ATVs flat. The North American ORV industry was up
low-single digits percent compared to the fourth quarter last year. ORV
dealer inventory was down 6 percent in the 2017 fourth quarter compared
to the same period last year.
Snowmobile wholegood sales in the fourth quarter of 2017
increased 11 percent to $131 million, due to the timing of shipments.
Polaris snowmobile retail sales were down low double digits percent
during the fourth quarter due to low snowfall levels across the snowbelt
regions in North America.
Motorcycle segment sales,
including PG&A, totaled $103 million, a decrease of two percent compared
to $104 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2016 which included
$25 million of Victory Motorcycle wholegood, accessory and apparel
sales. Indian Motorcycles wholegood sales increased in the high-single
digit percent range in the fourth quarter, while Slingshot®
sales more than doubled. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2017 was
$5 million compared to $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.
Adjusted for the Victory Motorcycles wind down costs of $3 million,
motorcycle gross profit was $8 million, up from the fourth quarter last
year due to higher sales volume for both Indian Motorcycles and
Slingshot and lower warranty costs.
North American consumer retail demand for the Polaris motorcycle
segment, including Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot, increased about 30
percent during the 2017 fourth quarter. Indian Motorcycle retail sales
increased about 17 percent, with both heavyweight and mid-sized
motorcycles increasing at similar mid-teens percent levels. Indian
Motorcycle continued to gain significant market share for the 2017
fourth quarter and full year on a year-over-year basis. Slingshot's
retail sales were up significantly due to improved product availability
compared to the fourth quarter last year. Motorcycle industry retail
sales, 900cc and above, were down high-single digits percent in the 2017
fourth quarter.
Global Adjacent Markets segment
sales along with its PG&A related sales, increased 19 percent to $117
million in the 2017 fourth quarter compared to $98 million in the 2016
fourth quarter. Reported gross profit increased two percent to $30
million, or 25.4 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2017,
compared to $29 million, or 29.5 percent of sales, in the fourth quarter
of 2016. Adjusted gross profit, excluding the manufacturing realignment
costs, increased four percent to $30 million, or 25.8 percent of sales
for the fourth quarter 2017. Commercial/Government/Defense group
wholegood sales were up 24 percent during the fourth quarter of 2017
primarily due to an increase in sales in the Company's Goupil
light-utility business and military sales.
Aftermarket segment sales,
which include Transamerican Auto Parts ("TAP"), along with the Company's
other aftermarket brands of Klim®, Kolpin®, Pro
Armor®, Trail Tech® and 509®, increased
62 percent to $218 million in the 2017 fourth quarter compared to $134
million in the 2016 fourth quarter. TAP sales increased $83 million to
$192 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Gross profit increased
significantly to $61 million, or 27.9 percent of sales in fourth quarter
of 2017, compared to $28 million, or 20.9 percent of sales, in the
fourth quarter of 2016. Adjusted gross profit in Q4 2016 was $37
million, or 27.4 percent of sales, adjusted for a $9 million TAP
inventory step-up charge. Sales and gross profit dollars were up
primarily due to the addition of TAP for the entire fourth quarter of
2017 as TAP was acquired in November of 2016. TAP sales grew four
percent in the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to last year on a
proforma basis, had Polaris owned TAP for the full year 2016.
Supplemental Data:
Parts, Garments, and Accessories (“PG&A”) sales,
excluding Aftermarket segment sales, increased eight percent for the
2017 fourth quarter. Excluding Victory Motorcycles, all segments and
categories increased sales during the quarter.
International sales to customers outside of North America,
including PG&A, totaled $211 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, up
18 percent, from the same period in 2016. In the fourth quarter, sales
in EMEA grew low-twenties percent, Asia Pacific increased high-single
digits percent, and Latin America sales rose mid-teens percent.
Gross profit increased 18 percent to $368 million for the fourth
quarter of 2017 from $313 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. As a
percentage of sales, reported gross profit margin was 25.7 percent of
sales for the fourth quarter of both 2017 and 2016. Gross profit for the
fourth quarter of 2017 includes the negative impact of $3 million of
Victory Motorcycles wind down costs and $2 million of realignment costs.
Excluding these items, fourth quarter 2017 adjusted gross profit was
$373 million, or 26.1 percent of sales. For the fourth quarter of 2016
adjusted gross profit of $322 million, or 26.4 percent of sales,
excludes the negative impact of a $9 million purchase accounting
adjustment related to the TAP acquisition acquired in the 2016 fourth
quarter. Gross profit margins on an adjusted basis decreased due to
negative product mix, higher incentive compensation expenses and
increased commodity costs offset somewhat, by increased volume, lower
promotional costs and ongoing gross VIP cost savings.
Operating expenses increased 13 percent for the fourth quarter of
2017 to $264 million from $233 million in the same period in 2016, which
included $1 million in Victory Motorcycles wind down costs, $3 million
of TAP integration expenses and $9 million of corporate restructuring
charges. Excluding these costs, operating expenses increased primarily
due to the addition of operating expenses from TAP, higher variable
compensation expenses, as well as increased research and development
expenses and increased selling and marketing costs related to new
products, offset somewhat by lower legal related expenses.
Income from financial services was $19 million for the fourth
quarter of 2017, down four percent compared with $19 million for the
fourth quarter of 2016. The decrease is attributable to lower income
generated from the wholesale portfolio due to the lower dealer inventory
levels.
Non-operating other expense (income), net, was $5 million
of income for the fourth quarter of 2017, versus $6 million of expense
in the fourth quarter of 2016. The change primarily relates to a gain on
a sale of Brammo in addition to foreign currency exchange rate movements
and the corresponding effects on foreign currency transactions related
to the Company’s foreign subsidiaries.
The provision for income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2017 was
$87 million or 73.3 percent of pretax income compared with $23 million
or 26.8 percent of pretax income for the fourth quarter of 2016. The
increase in the provision for income taxes as a percent of pretax income
is due to the non-cash $55 million write-down of deferred tax assets as
a result of the passing of the U.S. tax reform bill in the fourth
quarter of 2017.
Financial Position and Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities was $580 million for the year
ended December 31, 2017, compared to $572 million for the same period in
2016. 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, somewhat offset by higher factory inventory. Total
debt at December 31, 2017, including capital lease obligations and notes
payable, was $913 million. The Company’s debt-to-total capital ratio was
49 percent at December 31, 2017, compared to 57 percent a year ago due
primarily to repayments on the revolving and term loan facilities. Cash
and cash equivalents were $138 million at December 31, 2017, up from
$127 million for the same period in 2016.
Share Buyback Activity
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company repurchased and retired
13,000 shares of its common stock for $2 million. For the full year
ending December 31, 2017, the Company has repurchased and retired
1,028,000 shares of its common stock for $90 million. As of December 31,
2017, the Company has authorization from its Board of Directors to
repurchase up to an additional 6.4 million shares of Polaris common
stock.
2018 Business Outlook
For full year 2018, the Company expects adjusted net income to be in the
range of $6.00 to $6.20 per diluted share, compared with adjusted net
income of $4.85 per diluted share for 2017. The 2018 full year guidance
takes into account the impact of the corporate tax adjustments included
in the recently passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by the U.S. Congress. Full
year 2018 adjusted sales are anticipated to increase in the range of
three percent to five percent over 2017 adjusted sales of $5,428 million.
Vision and Strategy update
Polaris today updated its long-term Strategic Objectives first
introduced in 2009. The five major objectives are as follow: being the
Best in Powersports Plus, Growth through
Adjacencies, Global Market Leadership,
making Safety & Quality a Competitive Advantage
and becoming a Productivity Powerhouse.
These objectives emphasize sales and net income growth which translates
into annual sales growth of greater than five percent compounded
annually and net income growth of greater than 15 percent compounded
annually through 2022 on an adjusted basis.
Wind Down of Victory Motorcycles
Polaris announced on January 9, 2017 its intention to wind down its
Victory Motorcycles operations. The decision is expected to improve the
long-term profitability of Polaris and its global motorcycle business,
while materially improving the Company’s competitive position in the
industry. The Company will record costs, anticipated to be in the range
of $80 million to $90 million through 2018, associated with supporting
Victory dealers in selling their remaining inventory, the disposal of
factory inventory, tooling, and other physical assets, and the
cancellation of various supplier arrangements. In 2017, the Company
recorded pretax costs of $77 million. These costs are excluded from
Polaris’ 2017 sales and earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis.
Restructuring and Realignment
Polaris announced on April 24, 2017 that it was making changes to its
network to consolidate production of like products and better leverage
plant capacity. Changes include discontinuing manufacturing at its plant
in Milford, Iowa, and transferring Milford production to existing
Polaris facilities in Huntsville, Ala.; Roseau, Minn.; and Anaheim,
Calif. Additionally, the Company has transferred fabrication operations
for its Pro Armor aftermarket products from its facility in Riverside,
Calif., to its Transamerican Auto Parts facility in Chula Vista, Calif.
In 2017, the Company incurred costs of $11 million, associated with the
manufacturing realignment, and are recorded in the income statement
within the respective gross profit and operating expenses. In addition,
the Company has recorded restructuring costs totaling $11 million in the
2017 fourth quarter related to realigning and streamlining the Company's
sales and service groups. These costs are excluded from Polaris’ 2017
sales and earnings guidance on a non-GAAP basis.

POLARIS INDUSTRIES INC.
NON-GAAP ADJUSTMENTS TO FULL YEAR
2018 GUIDANCE
2018 Adjusted Guidance: 2018 guidance excludes the pre-tax effect
of acquisition integration costs of approx. $10 million, supply chain
transformation costs of approx. $10 million to $20 million and the
remaining impacts associated with the Victory wind down which is
estimated to be in the range of $5 million to $10 million. 2018 adjusted
sales guidance excludes any Victory wholegood, accessories and apparel
sales and corresponding promotional costs as the Company is in the
process of exiting the brand. The Company has not provided
reconciliations of guidance for adjusted diluted net income per share,
in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item
10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. The Company is unable, without
unreasonable efforts, to forecast certain items required to develop
meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures. These items include costs
associated with the Victory wind down that are difficult to predict in
advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.
