CEO Commentary
The Polaris team once again demonstrated its strength and agility to deliver a strong finish to an exceptionally unusual year. While 2020 brought many unforeseen challenges, we emerged from the abrupt shutdown of the global economy early in the year to leverage the surge in demand across the Powersports industry and outdoor recreation, growing full year adjusted sales and earnings 4% and 22%, respectively. Our highly innovative product line-up of ORVs, snowmobiles and boats brought in new customers and powersports enthusiasts to Polaris. Over the year, we introduced over 120 new products across our portfolio and over 900 new accessories in our PG&A business and Aftermarket segment, combined. While supply chain challenges remain front and center for Polaris and most of the industry as we enter 2021, the operational track record of our team gives me great confidence in our ability to navigate those constraints, rebuild dealer inventories, and continue to bring to market the highest quality, most innovative products and services in the powersports industry.
-- Mike Speetzen, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Inc.

Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII) (the "Company") today released fourth quarter 2020 results with reported sales of $2,156 million, up 24 percent from reported sales of $1,736 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company reported fourth quarter 2020 net income of $199 million, or $3.15 per diluted share, compared with net income of $99 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, for the 2019 fourth quarter. Adjusted net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $211 million, or $3.34 per diluted share compared to $115 million, or $1.83 per diluted share in the 2019 fourth quarter.
Retail demand and industry tailwinds remained strong during the quarter benefiting Company performance as both new and existing customers continued taking advantage of off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, motorcycles and boats to enjoy the outdoors while maintaining social distancing etiquette.
Gross profit increased 30 percent to $550 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 from $423 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Reported gross profit margin was 25.5 percent of sales for the fourth quarter of 2020, up 112 basis points compared to 24.4 percent of sales for the fourth quarter of 2019. The improvement in gross profits was primarily driven by positive product mix and lower promotional costs incurred during the quarter, offset somewhat by costs related to supplier constraints. Adjusted gross profit for the fourth quarter 2020 was $552 million, or 25.6 percent of adjusted sales compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 adjusted gross profit of $428 million, or 24.7 percent of sales. Adjusted gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2020 and 2019 excludes the negative impact of $2 million and $5 million of restructuring and realignment costs, respectively.
Operating expenses decreased one percent for the fourth quarter of 2020 to $304 million from $308 million in the same period in 2019. Operating expenses were lower due to decreased compensation expense related to the CEO departure, in addition to lower non-essential expenses driven by the Company's ongoing cautionary approach to spending given the pandemic-generated economic uncertainty.
Income from financial services was $17 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, down 17 percent compared with $21 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in wholesale financing income during the quarter due to lower dealer inventory levels.

Interest expense was $15 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $17 million for the same period last year due to lower interest rates and lower debt levels.
Other (income) expense, net, was $0.7 million of expense in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $1.3 million of income in the fourth quarter of 2019. Other (income) expense is the result of currency exchange rate movements and the corresponding effects on currency transactions related to the Company’s international subsidiaries.
The provision for income taxes for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $49 million, or 19.9 percent of pretax income, compared with $22 million, or 18.2 percent of pretax income, for the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in the effective income tax rate is primarily due to the increase in pretax income, as the beneficial impact of discrete items decreases with higher pretax earnings as compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Off-Road Vehicles (“ORV”) and Snowmobiles segment sales, including PG&A, totaled $1,468 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, up 29 percent compared to $1,140 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 driven by broad based strength across ATV and side-by-side sales. PG&A sales for ORV and Snowmobiles combined increased 35 percent in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter last year. Gross profit increased 29 percent to $387 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $299 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross profit percentage increased 11 basis points during the 2020 fourth quarter compared to the prior year due to strong retail demand, positive product mix and lower promotional and floor-plan financing costs offset somewhat, by higher logistical costs and plant inefficiencies from supply chain constraints.
ORV wholegood sales for the fourth quarter of 2020 increased 33 percent. Polaris North American ORV retail sales increased low-thirties percent for the quarter with side-by-side vehicles up high-thirties percent and ATV vehicles up high-teens percent. The North American ORV industry was up high-twenties percent compared to the fourth quarter last year.
Snowmobile wholegood sales in the fourth quarter of 2020 were $183 million, up four percent compared to $176 million in the fourth quarter last year. Polaris snowmobile retail sales were up low-twenties percent during the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year while North American industry retail was up mid-teens percent for the fourth quarter compared to the prior year.
Motorcycles segment sales, including PG&A, totaled $147 million, up 23 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, driven primarily from increased sales of Slingshot and PG&A. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $1 million compared to a $5 million loss in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in gross profit margin was driven by improved quality driving lower warranty costs, along with a decrease in promotional costs offset somewhat, by negative product mix as more mid-sized vehicles were sold during the quarter and increased costs from supply chain constraints.
North American consumer retail sales for Indian Motorcycle increased low-thirties percent during the fourth quarter of 2020 in a weak mid to heavy-weight two-wheel motorcycle industry that was down mid-single digits percent. North American consumer retail sales for Polaris' motorcycle segment, including both Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot, increased high-thirties percent during the fourth quarter of 2020, 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 fourth quarter of 2020.
Global Adjacent Markets segment sales, including PG&A, increased 18 percent to $142 million in the 2020 fourth quarter compared to $120 million in the 2019 fourth quarter driven by increases in demand in North America and EMEA. Gross profit increased 18 percent to $41 million or 29.0 percent of sales in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $35 million or 28.9 percent of sales in the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross profit percentage increased during the quarter primarily due to lower warranty and promotional costs.
Aftermarket segment sales of $238 million in the 2020 fourth quarter increased eight percent compared to $221 million in the 2019 fourth quarter. Transamerican Auto Parts (TAP) sales of $186 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 increased one percent compared to $185 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The Company's other aftermarket brands sales were up 45 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Gross profit increased 33 percent to $65 million or 27.4 percent of sales in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $49 million or 22.3 percent of sales in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Boats segment sales increased 20 percent to $162 million in the 2020 fourth quarter compared to $135 million in the 2019 fourth quarter, driven by strength from all three brands, Bennington, Godfrey and Hurricane. Gross profit increased 36 percent to $35 million or 21.5 percent of sales in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $26 million or 19.0 percent of sales in the fourth quarter of 2019 primarily due to increased volume offset somewhat, by costs related to supply chain driven plant inefficiencies.
Supplemental Data:
Parts, Garments, and Accessories (“PG&A”) sales increased 31 percent for the 2020 fourth quarter with all categories and business segments growing sales during the quarter.
International sales to customers outside of North America, including PG&A, totaled $266 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, up 24 percent from the same period in 2019.

NON-GAAP ADJUSTMENTS
Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2020 Results & 2021 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. Currently, the Company is also executing certain corporate restructuring across the organization to increase efficiency and focus its business including the wind-down of the Rinker, Striper and Larson FX boat brands. For the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company has recorded combined costs totaling $2 million which was included as a NON-GAAP adjustment.
Intangible amortization related to acquisitions
As a result of the Boat Holdings acquisition, Polaris' amortization of intangible assets increased significantly 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 fourth quarter of 2020, Polaris included $7 million of intangible amortization related to acquisitions as a NON-GAAP adjustment.
2021 Adjusted Guidance
2021 guidance excludes the pre-tax effect of supply chain transformation, restructuring and network realignment costs of approximately $5 million to $10 million, and approximately $5 million to $10 million for class action litigation-related expenses. Intangible amortization of approximately $35 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.
