Polaris Reports 2019 Third Quarter Results

October 22, 2019 6:00 AM EDT

Q3 2019 Highlights

Reported and adjusted sales for the third quarter of 2019 increased 7% to $1,772 million

Reported net income was $1.42 per diluted share; adjusted net income for the same period was $1.68 per diluted share

North American side-by-side retail sales were up low-single digits compared to last year with both RANGER and RZR retail sales up during the quarter

Gross profit margin for the third quarter was 24.6%, up 30 basis points over prior year. Adjusted gross profit margin was 24.9%, up 10 basis points versus last year due to positive product mix, despite the absorption of approximately 140 basis points of tariff costs and negative foreign exchange impact

Polaris narrowed its full year 2019 earnings guidance by maintaining the upper end of the net income range and increasing the lower end of the range and now expects earnings to be in the $6.20 to $6.30 per diluted share range. Full year 2019 adjusted sales growth guidance is expected to be up approximately 12% over the prior year.

CEO Commentary

"Through the strength of our brand portfolio and solid execution from our team, Polaris delivered 7 percent revenue growth and modest margin expansion amid mounting macroeconomic ambiguity. We augmented our industry-leading Off-Road Vehicle lineup with the introduction of our Model Year ’20 products, and continued to improve dealer satisfaction and engagement. We also launched our evolved Polaris brand and Think Outside tagline. This more modern compass appeals to broader demographics - as seen in Polaris Adventures bringing 90 percent new customers to the brand or the uptick in millennial purchases of the RZR and RANGER. Indeed, our RANGER/GENERAL and RZR brands continue to perform well, driving growth in side-by-sides despite an increasingly competitive market. We converted this growth into increased profitability, as our strategic supply chain investments, which are driving organization-wide value enhancement, began realizing cost savings in the quarter. Our commitment to being a customer-centric, highly efficient growth company remains steadfast, and coupled with industry-leading innovation, it will further solidify our position as the global leader in Powersports.”

-- Scott Wine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Inc.

Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII) (the "Company") today released third quarter 2019 results with sales of $1,772 million on a reported and adjusted basis, up 7 percent from reported and adjusted sales of $1,651 million and $1,653 million for the third quarter of 2018, respectively. The Company reported third quarter 2019 net income of $88 million, or 1.42 per diluted share, compared with net income of $96 million, or 1.50 per diluted share, for the 2018 third quarter. Adjusted net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $104 million, or $1.68 per diluted share compared to $118 million, or $1.86 per diluted share in the 2018 third quarter.

Gross profit increased 9 percent to $437 million for the third quarter of 2019 from $401 million in the third quarter of 2018. Reported gross profit margin was 24.6 percent of sales for the third quarter of 2019, up 30 basis points compared to 24.3 percent of sales for the third quarter of 2018. Adjusted gross profit for the third quarter 2019 was $441 million, or 24.9 percent of adjusted sales compared to the third quarter of 2018 adjusted gross profit of $410 million, or 24.8 percent of adjusted sales. Adjusted gross profit margins were up 10 basis points during the quarter. Adjusted gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 excludes the negative impact of $5 million of restructuring and realignment costs, and adjusted gross profit for the third quarter of 2018 excludes the negative impact of $4 million of restructuring and realignment costs, $3 million of acquisition-related costs, and $1 million of Victory Motorcycles® wind-down costs.

Operating expenses increased 16 percent for the third quarter of 2019 to $328 million, or 18.5 percent of sales, from $284 million, or 17.2 percent of sales, in the same period in 2018. Operating expenses in dollars and as a percent of sales, increased primarily due to the addition of the new multi-brand distribution center in Nevada, the costs associated with the 65th anniversary celebration and summer dealer meeting and ongoing investment in research and development.

Income from financial services was $22 million for the third quarter of 2019, up 1 percent compared with $21 million for the third quarter of 2018. Wholesale credit income increased due to higher dealer inventory levels while retail credit income declined due to slightly lower penetration rates during the quarter.

Interest expense was $20 million for both 2019 and 2018 third quarters.

Equity in loss of other affiliates was $4 million for the third quarter of 2019 compared to $111 thousand for the same period last year primarily due to the write-down of certain investments during the quarter.

Other income, net, was $2 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $4 million in the third quarter of 2018. Other income is the result of 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 third quarter of 2019 was $20 million, or 18.3 percent of pretax income, compared with $28 million, or 22.4 percent of pretax income for the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to additional Section 199 benefits realized from the filing of amended tax returns in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018.

Off-Road Vehicles (“ORV”) and Snowmobiles segment sales, including PG&A, totaled $1,152 million for the third quarter of 2019, up eleven percent over $1,036 million for the third quarter of 2018 driven by growth in side-by-side sales and timing of snowmobile shipments. PG&A sales for ORV and Snowmobiles combined increased 10 percent in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter last year. Gross profit increased 11 percent to $324 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $291 million in the third quarter of 2018. Gross profit percentage increased four basis points during the 2019 third quarter.

ORV wholegood sales for the third quarter of 2019 increased eight percent primarily driven by increased price and mix. Polaris North American ORV retail sales were flat for the quarter with side-by-side vehicles up low-single digits percent and ATV vehicles down mid-single digits percent. The North American ORV industry was up mid-single digits percent compared to the third quarter last year.

Snowmobile wholegood sales in the third quarter of 2019 were $106 million, up 53 percent compared to $69 million in the third quarter last year. Snowmobile sales were favorably impacted by the timing of shipments for the Company's pre-season snowmobile orders.

Motorcycles segment sales, including PG&A, totaled $150 million, down three percent compared to the third quarter of 2018. Both Indian and Slingshot reported sales decline during the quarter. Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 was $12 million compared to $20 million in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to tariff costs and negative mix.

North American consumer retail sales for Polaris Indian motorcycles decreased mid-teens percent during the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to the weak mid to heavy-weight two-wheel motorcycle industry that was down high-single digits percent and retail pressure from heavy competitive promotional spending. North American consumer retail sales for Polaris' motorcycle segment, including both Indian Motorcycles and Slingshot, decreased low-double digit percent during the third quarter of 2019, while the North American Motorcycle industry retail sales for mid to heavy-weight motorcycles including three-wheel vehicles, was down low-single digits percent in the third quarter of 2019.

Global Adjacent Markets segment sales, including PG&A, increased 18 percent to $114 million in the 2019 third quarter compared to $96 million in the 2018 third quarter primarily due to strong commercial, government and defense sales, and growth in Polaris Adventures. Gross profit increased 29 percent to $31 million or 27.3 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $24 million or 25.1 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2018, due to increased volume and favorable product mix.

Aftermarket segment sales of $236 million in the 2019 third quarter increased three percent compared to $230 million in the 2018 third quarter. TAP sales of $193 million in the third quarter of 2019 increased two percent compared to $189 million in the third quarter of 2018. The Company's other aftermarket brands increased sales by five percent. Gross profit decreased to $62 million in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $66 million in the third quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher tariff costs.

Boats segment sales decreased 11 percent to $119 million in the 2019 third quarter compared to $134 million in the 2018 third quarter primarily due to a slowing marine industry. Gross profit increased 10 percent to $22 million or 18.8 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $20 million or 15.1 percent of sales in the third quarter of 2018 due to favorable product mix.

Supplemental Data:

Parts, Garments, and Accessories (“PG&A”) sales increased 11 percent for the 2019 third quarter primarily driven by growth in all segments and categories.

International sales to customers outside of North America, including PG&A, totaled $187 million for the third quarter of 2019, up eight percent from the same period in 2018. The increase in sales is attributable to growth in ORV, motorcycles and Global Adjacent markets.

NON-GAAP ADJUSTMENTS
2019 Third Quarter Results & Full Year Guidance

Restructuring, Realignment and Acquisition Related Costs
Polaris announced in 2017 that it was making changes to its network to consolidate production and distribution of like products and better leverage plant capacity and embarked on a multi-phase supply chain transformation initiative to continue to leverage its supply chain as a strategic asset. Additionally, the Company has recorded acquisitions and integration related costs associated with the TAP and Boat Holdings acquisitions. For the third quarter of 2019, the Company has recorded combined costs totaling $7 million.

Intangible amortization related to acquisitions
As a result of the Boat Holdings acquisition, Polaris' amortization of intangible assets increased by approximately $20 million on an annual basis. Given the significant increase in non-cash amortization associated with this acquisition along with intangible amortization from prior acquisitions, the Company has moved to an adjusted net income metric, excluding intangible amortization from all acquisitions. The Company believes this treatment will provide additional transparency into the true, ongoing earnings performance of its business. For the third quarter of 2019, Polaris excluded $10 million of intangible amortization related to acquisitions.

Eicher-Polaris Joint Venture Impairment in India
Regulatory changes have negatively impacted the likelihood of success of the joint venture, and as a result, in late-February 2018, the Board of Directors of the joint venture approved the wind-down of the joint venture. For the full year ended December 31, 2018, Polaris has recorded charges totaling $27 million, including the impairment of the Company's equity investment in the Eicher-Polaris joint venture in India and wind down costs. No costs were recorded in 2019.

2019 Adjusted Guidance
2019 guidance excludes the pre-tax effect of acquisition integration costs of approximately $5 million to $10 million, supply chain transformation and network realignment costs of approximately $25 million to $30 million, and approximately $17 million to $20 million for class action litigation-related expenses. Intangible amortization of approximately $40 million related to all acquisitions has also been excluded. 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 restructuring and realignment costs and acquisition integration costs that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.
