The sharp drop in operating income in Q4 2023 was driven by **multiple factors**. First, **lower wholesale volumes** played a major role, as global motorcycle shipments dropped by **13%** under prudent inventory management.  **[HOG_3372474_5]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:1]**  Additionally, the company increased **incentive spending** to support the sell-through of 2023 models, which reduced revenue by about **$40 million** in Q4.  **[HOG_3372474_6]**  Rising **manufacturing costs** coupled with lower shipment volumes led to a **360 basis point decline in gross margins, down to 22.9%**.  **[HOG_3372474_6]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:1]**  Moreover, there were **segment-specific losses**—HDMC incurred an operating loss of **$44 million** (up from a $32 million loss in the previous year)  **[HOG_3372474_5]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:1]** , while the LiveWire segment experienced an operating loss of **$35 million** due to planned development costs.  **[HOG_3372474_7]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:0]**  Finally, a **decline in consolidated revenue by 8%** further contributed to the drop in operating income.  **[HOG_3372474_5]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:0]** 

Why did Operating income drop so sharply in Q4 2023?

The steep decline in Basic EPS for Q4 2023 was primarily driven by a **significant drop in net income**. **Net income attributable to Harley-Davidson, Inc. fell from **$41.9 million** in Q4 2022 to **$25.8 million** in Q4 2023, representing an approximate **38% decline**.  **[HOG_3372474_5]** **[HOG_3372474_6]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:0]**  This drop was mainly attributed to several factors:  

- A **14% decline in revenue** at the HDMC segment due to **lower wholesale motorcycle shipments** and **higher incentive spending**.  **[HOG_3372474_5]** **[HOG_3372474_6]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:0]**   
- Worsening operating losses at HDMC, which expanded from **$32.0 million** in Q4 2022 to **$44.2 million** in Q4 2023.  **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:8]**   
- A **10% decline in operating income** at Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS), driven by **higher borrowing costs** and increased **credit loss provisions**.  **[HOG_3372474_7]**   
- Increased operating losses at the LiveWire segment, rising from **$28.6 million** to **$34.9 million**.  **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:8]**   

Even though share buybacks reduced the weighted-average shares outstanding, the combined negative impact of these factors led to the pronounced decline in Basic EPS.  **[HOG_3372474_8]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:8]** 

What caused the steep decline in Basic EPS in Q4 2023?

In Q4 2023, **Harley-Davidson's** net income declined significantly—by **38%** compared to Q4 2022—due to multiple factors. The company experienced an **8% overall revenue decline**, driven in part by a **14% drop** in HDMC revenue, compounded by lower wholesale units shipped (a **13% decrease**) and significant **incentive spend**. Moreover, the consolidated operating result turned into a **$21 million loss**, largely due to a **$44 million loss** in HDMC, a decline in operating income at HDFS driven by **higher borrowing costs**, increased credit loss provisions, and elevated operating expenses, as well as a **$35 million loss** in the LiveWire segment.  **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:8]** **[0000793952-24-000044_a8kq42023exhibit991.htm:0]** **[HOG_3372474_5]** **[HOG_3372474_7]** 

What led to the significant drop in Net income in Q4 2023?

The drastic decrease in operating income in Q3 2024 was mainly driven by the decline in the **HDMC segment**, which saw its operating income fall by **$120,116 thousand** (a **68.5% decline**) due to a **39% drop in motorcycle shipments**, lower production volumes resulting in unfavorable manufacturing leverage, and a shift toward **lower-margin markets** compounded by moderate inflation and weaker foreign currency exchange rates.  **[0000793952-24-000155_a8kq32024exhibit991.htm:0]** **[20241024CG39061:0]** **[0000793952-24-000165_hog-20240930.htm:58]**  Additionally, the **LiveWire segment** experienced a slight increase in its operating loss, and while the **HDFS segment** improved its operating income, these factors were not enough to offset the significant losses in the HDMC segment.  **[0000793952-24-000155_a8kq32024exhibit991.htm:0]** **[20241024CG39061:0]** **[0000793952-24-000165_hog-20240930.htm:58]** **[0000793952-24-000165_hog-20240930.htm:59]** 

Why did Operating income fall so drastically in Q3 2024?

The drop in revenue in Q3 2024 was primarily driven by a significant decline in the **Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC)** segment. **HDMC** revenue fell by **32%**, largely due to a **39% decrease** in wholesale motorcycle shipments as the company strategically adjusted dealer inventory levels in response to the changing retail environment. Additionally, there was a **6% decline** in Parts & Accessories revenue driven by lower customer traffic, although this was partially offset by a **10% revenue increase** in the Financial Services segment due to higher retail and commercial finance receivables and improved average yields.  **[0000793952-24-000155_a8kq32024exhibit991.htm:0]** **[20241024CG39061:0]** **[0000793952-24-000165_hog-20240930.htm:58]**

The jump in **cash and cash equivalents** in Q3 2024 was driven primarily by a significant increase in **net cash provided by operating activities**, which reached **$930,655 thousand** due to improvements in working capital management (such as reductions in inventory and accounts receivable) and lower net cash outflows for wholesale finance receivables. In addition, a slightly lower cash outflow in investing activities and higher cash inflows from financing activities—including proceeds from securitization debt and other financing measures—also contributed to the increase, along with a minor positive impact from exchange rate changes.  **[0000793952-24-000155_a8kq32024exhibit991.htm:9]** **[0000793952-24-000165_hog-20240930.htm:66]** **[HOG_3403657_6]** 

Why did Cash and cash equivalents jump in Q3 2024?

The reduction in **Long-term debt, net** in Q3 2024 was mainly driven by **repayments of medium-term notes**, significant **securitization debt activities**—including **repayments of $782,161 thousand** and **proceeds of $1,145,211 thousand**—and an overall strategic focus on **debt reduction** across the company's balance sheet.  **[0000793952-24-000155_a8kq32024exhibit991.htm:9]** 

What factors contributed to the lower Long-term debt, net in Q3 2024?

The significant drop in short-term debt in Q2 2024 was primarily attributed to a net decrease in unsecured commercial paper, which reduced by **$(379,743) thousand** during the first half of 2024, thereby driving the overall decline in the debt figure.  **[0000793952-24-000150_hog-20240630.htm:27]** **[0000793952-24-000150_hog-20240630.htm:5]** **[0000793952-24-000147_a8kq22024exhibit991.htm:9]** **[0000793952-24-000150_hog-20240630.htm:6]** **[0000793952-24-000150_hog-20240630.htm:63]** 

What led to the significant drop in Short-term debt in Q2 2024?

The current portion of long-term debt nearly doubled in Q3 2024 because Harley-Davidson reclassified a significant amount of its long‑term debt as current liabilities as those obligations neared their maturity dates. Specifically, maturing medium‑term notes (including a €600 million note issued in November 2019), asset‑backed securitization debt, and an overall shortened debt maturity structure all contributed to the increase.  **[0000793952-24-000165_hog-20240930.htm:5]** **[0000793952-24-000155_a8kq32024exhibit991.htm:9]** **[0000793952-24-000165_hog-20240930.htm:46]**
