NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harley-Davidson, Inc. and its subsidiaries and certain variable interest entities (VIEs) related to secured financing as the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company has a controlling equity interest in LiveWire Group, Inc. As the controlling shareholder, the Company consolidates LiveWire Group, Inc. results with additional adjustments to recognize non-controlling shareholder interests.

The Company operates in three reportable segments: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC), LiveWire and Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS).

Substantially all of the Company’s international subsidiaries use their respective local currency as their functional currency. Assets and liabilities of international subsidiaries have been translated at period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses have been translated using average exchange rates for the period. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is different from an entity's functional currency are remeasured from the transactional currency to the entity's functional currency on a monthly basis. The aggregate transaction gain (loss) resulting from foreign currency remeasurements was $(3.8) million and $1.1 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and $(6.7) million and $4.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the Consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods then ended, and the Consolidated statements of shareholders' equity for the three month periods within the six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements – The Company assesses the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy.

Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and yield curves. The Company uses the market approach to derive the fair value for its Level 2 fair value measurements. Foreign currency contracts, commodity contracts, and cross-currency swaps are valued using quoted forward rates and prices; interest rate caps are valued using quoted interest rates and yield curves; LiveWire warrants, including public (Level 1) and private placement (Level 2) warrants, are valued using the closing market price of the public warrants as the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants.

Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include the Company's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

2. New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). ASU 2023-07 is

intended to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The main provisions of ASU 2023-07 require a public entity to disclose on an annual and interim basis: (i) significant segment expenses provided to the chief operating decision maker, (ii) an amount representing the difference between segment revenue less segment expenses disclosed under the significant segment expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss and a description of its composition, (iii) all annual disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets currently required under Topic 280 in interim periods, (iv) clarification that if the chief operating decision maker uses more than one measure of a segment's profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit, (v) the title and position of the chief operating decision maker and an explanation of how the chief operating decision maker uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and (vi) all disclosures required by ASU 2023-07 and all existing segment disclosures under Topic 280 for an entity with a single reportable segment. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The main provisions of ASU 2023-09 require a public entity to disclose on an annual basis (i) specific prescribed categories in the income tax rate reconciliation, (ii) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, (iii) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (iv) the amount of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which the amount of income taxes paid is equal to greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid, (v) income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (vi) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. ASU 2023-09 also removes certain disclosure requirements related to unrecognized tax benefits and cumulative unrecognized temporary differences. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.

3. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred. Taxes that are collected from a customer concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

7. Finance Receivables

Finance receivables include both retail and wholesale finance receivables, including amounts held by consolidated VIEs. Finance receivables are recorded in the financial statements at amortized cost net of an allowance for credit losses.

The Company provides retail financial services to customers of its dealers in the U.S. and Canada. The origination of retail loans is a separate and distinct transaction between the Company and the retail customer, unrelated to the Company’s sale of product to its dealers. Retail finance receivables consist of secured promissory notes and secured installment sales contracts and are primarily related to dealer sales of motorcycles to retail customers. The Company holds either titles or liens on titles to vehicles financed by promissory notes and installment sales contracts.

The Company offers wholesale financing to its dealers in the U.S. and Canada. Wholesale finance receivables are related primarily to the Company's sale of motorcycles, related parts and accessories and apparel to dealers. Wholesale loans to dealers are generally secured by financed inventory or property.

The Company’s finance receivables are reported at amortized cost, net of the allowance for credit losses. Amortized cost includes the principal outstanding, accrued interest, and deferred loan fees and costs. The Company's allowance for credit losses reflects expected lifetime credit losses on its finance receivables. Based on differences in the nature of the finance receivables and the underlying methodology for calculating the allowance for credit losses, the Company segments its finance receivables into the retail and wholesale portfolios. The Company further disaggregates each portfolio by credit quality indicators. As the credit risk varies between the retail and wholesale portfolios, the Company utilizes different credit quality indicators for each portfolio.

The retail portfolio primarily consists of a large number of small balance, homogeneous finance receivables. The Company performs a collective evaluation of the adequacy of the retail allowance for credit losses. The Company utilizes a vintage-based loss forecast methodology that includes decompositions for probability of default, exposure at default, attrition rate, and recovery balance rate. Reasonable and supportable economic forecasts for a two-year period are incorporated into the methodology to reflect the estimated impact of changes in future economic conditions, such as unemployment rates, household obligations or other relevant factors, over the two-year reasonable and supportable period. For periods beyond the Company’s reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company reverts to its average historical loss experience using a mean-reversion process over a three-year period. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, or term as well as other relevant factors.

The wholesale portfolio is primarily composed of large balance, non-homogeneous loans. The Company’s evaluation for the wholesale allowance for credit losses is first based on a loan-by-loan review to determine whether the loans share similar risk characteristics. The Company individually evaluates loans that do not share risk characteristics. Loans identified as those for which foreclosure is probable are classified as Non-Performing, and a specific allowance for credit losses is established when appropriate. The specific allowance is determined based on the amortized cost of the related finance receivable and the estimated fair value of the collateral, less selling costs and the cash that the Company expects to receive. Finance receivables in the wholesale portfolio not individually assessed are aggregated, based on similar risk characteristics, according to the Company’s internal risk rating system and measured collectively. The related allowance for credit losses is based on factors such as the specific borrower’s financial performance and ability to repay, the Company’s past credit loss experience, reasonable and supportable economic forecasts, and the value of the underlying collateral and expected recoveries.

The Company considers various third-party economic forecast scenarios as part of estimating the allowance for expected credit losses and applies a probability-weighting to those economic forecast scenarios. Each quarter, the Company's outlook on economic conditions impacts the Company's retail and wholesale estimates for expected credit losses. At the end of the second quarter of 2024, the Company's probability weighting of its economic forecast scenarios was weighted towards more pessimistic scenarios given continued challenging macro-economic conditions including a persistently high interest rate environment, ongoing elevated inflation levels and muted consumer confidence.

Additionally, the historical experience incorporated into the portfolio-specific models does not fully reflect the Company's comprehensive expectations regarding the future. As such, the Company incorporated qualitative factors to establish an appropriate allowance for credit losses balance. These factors include motorcycle recovery value considerations, delinquency adjustments, specific problem loan trends, and changes in other portfolio-specific loan characteristics. During the first half of 2024, the Company experienced increased retail credit losses driven by several factors connected to the macro-economic environment and related customer and industry dynamics, including the impact of higher motorcycle payments and general inflationary pressures on customers. Additionally, the Company experienced downward pressure on recovery values at auction during the first half of 2024.

Due to the use of projections and assumptions in estimating the losses, the amount of losses incurred by the Company in either portfolio could differ from the amounts estimated. Further, the Company’s allowance for credit losses incorporates known conditions at the balance sheet date and the Company’s expectations surrounding the economic forecasts. The

The Company manages retail credit risk through its credit approval process and ongoing collection efforts. The Company uses FICO scores, a standard credit rating measurement, to differentiate the expected default rates of retail credit applicants, enabling the Company to better evaluate credit applicants for approval and to tailor pricing according to this assessment. For the Company’s U.S. and Canadian retail finance receivables, the Company determines the credit quality indicator for each loan at origination and does not update the credit quality indicator subsequent to the loan origination date.

As loan performance by credit quality indicator differs between the U.S. and Canadian retail loans, the Company’s credit quality indicators vary for the two portfolios. For U.S. retail finance receivables, those with a FICO score of 740 or above at origination are generally considered super prime, loans with a FICO score between 640 and 740 are generally categorized as prime, and loans with FICO score below 640 are generally considered sub-prime. For Canadian retail finance receivables, those with a FICO score of 700 or above at origination are generally considered super prime, loans with a FICO score between 620 and 700 are generally categorized as prime, and loans with FICO score below 620 are generally considered sub-prime.

The Company's credit risk on the wholesale portfolio is different from that of the retail portfolio. Whereas the retail portfolio represents a relatively homogeneous pool of retail finance receivables that exhibit more consistent loss patterns, the wholesale portfolio exposures are less consistent. The Company utilizes an internal credit risk rating system to manage credit risk exposure consistently across wholesale borrowers and individually evaluates credit risk factors for each borrower. The Company uses the following internal credit quality indicators, based on an internal risk rating system, listed from highest level of risk to lowest level of risk for the wholesale portfolio: Doubtful, Substandard, Special Mention, Medium Risk and Low Risk. Based upon the Company’s review, the dealers classified in the Doubtful category are the dealers with the greatest likelihood of being charged-off, while the dealers classified as Low Risk are least likely to be charged-off. Additionally, the Company classifies dealers identified as those in which foreclosure is probable as Non-Performing. The internal rating system considers factors such as the specific borrower's ability to repay and the estimated value of any collateral. Dealer risk rating classifications are reviewed and updated by the Company on a quarterly basis.

Retail finance receivables are contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the specified due date. Retail finance receivables at amortized cost, excluding accrued interest, are generally charged-off when the receivable is 120 days or more delinquent, the related asset is repossessed, or the receivable is otherwise deemed uncollectible. The Company reverses accrued interest related to charged-off accounts against Financial Services interest income when the account is charged-off. The Company reversed $7.6 million and $6.2 million of accrued interest against Financial Services interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and $17.1 million and $13.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30,2023, respectively. All retail finance receivables accrue interest until either collected or charged-off. Due to the timely write-off of accrued interest, the Company made the election provided under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses to exclude accrued interest from its allowance for credit losses. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023, all retail finance receivables were accounted for as interest-earning receivables.

Wholesale finance receivables are delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the contractual due date. Wholesale finance receivables are written down once the Company determines that the specific borrower does not have the ability to repay the loan in full. Interest continues to accrue on past due finance receivables until the date the Company determines that foreclosure is probable, and the finance receivable is placed on non-accrual status. The Company will resume accruing interest on these accounts when payments are current according to the terms of the loans and future payments are reasonably assured. While on non-accrual status, all cash received is applied to principal or interest as appropriate. Once an account is charged-off, the Company will reverse the associated accrued interest against interest income. As the Company

Table of Contents

follows a non-accrual policy for interest, the allowance for credit losses excludes accrued interest for the wholesale portfolio. There were no charged-off accounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023. As such, the Company did not reverse any wholesale accrued interest in those periods. During the three month period ended June 30, 2024, $5.6 million of wholesale finance receivables related to two dealers were classified as non-accrual. There were no dealers on non-accrual status at December 31, 2023 or June 30, 2023.

Generally, it is the Company’s policy not to change the terms and conditions of finance receivables. However, to minimize economic loss, the Company may modify certain finance receivables as troubled loan modifications. Total finance receivables subject to troubled loan modifications were not significant as of June 30, 2024, December 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023. In accordance with its policies, in certain situations, the Company may offer short-term adjustments to customer payment due dates without affecting the associated interest rate or loan term.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to risks from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. To reduce its exposure to such risks, the Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments. All derivative transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to regularly reviewed policies and procedures which prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

The Company sells products in foreign currencies and utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to the Euro, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso. The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts generally have maturities of less than one year.

The Company utilizes commodity contracts to mitigate the effects of commodity price fluctuations related to metals and fuel consumed in its motorcycle operations. The Company's commodity contracts generally have maturities of less than one year.

The Company periodically utilizes treasury rate and swap rate lock contracts to fix the interest rate on a portion of the principal related to an anticipated issuance of long-term debt and cross-currency swaps to mitigate the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its foreign currency-denominated debt. The Company also utilizes interest rate caps to facilitate certain asset-backed securitization transactions.

All derivative financial instruments are recognized on the Consolidated balance sheets at fair value. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC Topic 815), the accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative financial

Table of Contents

instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into income when the hedged item affects income. Refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements for more detail on derivatives activity included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company assesses, both at the inception of each hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged items. No component of a designated hedging derivative financial instrument’s gain or loss is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Derivative financial instruments not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign currency, commodity risks and interest rate risks. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments are recorded directly in income. Cash flow activity associated with the Company's derivative financial instruments is recorded in Cash flows from operating activities on the Consolidated statement of cash flows. Derivative assets and liabilities are reported in Other current assets and Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets, respectively, other than long-term balances noted below.

The Company is exposed to credit loss risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties to its derivative financial instruments. Although no assurances can be given, the Company does not expect any of the counterparties to its derivative financial instruments to fail to meet their obligations. To manage credit loss risk, the Company evaluates counterparties based on credit ratings and, on a quarterly basis, evaluates each hedge’s net position relative to the counterparty’s ability to cover their position.

10. Asset-Backed Financing

The Company participates in asset-backed financing both through asset-backed securitization transactions and through asset-backed commercial paper conduit facilities. In the Company's asset-backed financing programs, the Company transfers retail motorcycle finance receivables to special purpose entities (SPEs), which are considered VIEs under U.S. GAAP. Each SPE then converts those assets into cash through the issuance of debt. The Company retains servicing rights for all of the retail motorcycle finance receivables transferred to SPEs as part of an asset-backed financing. The accounting treatment for asset-backed financings depends on the terms of the related transaction and the Company’s continuing involvement with the VIE.

In transactions where the Company has power over the significant activities of the VIE and has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that are potentially significant to the VIE, the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidates the VIE within its consolidated financial statements. On a consolidated basis, the asset-backed financing is treated as a secured borrowing in this type of transaction and is referred to as an on-balance sheet asset-backed financing.

In transactions where the Company is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the Company must determine whether it can achieve a sale for accounting purposes under ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. To achieve a sale for accounting purposes, the assets being transferred must be legally isolated, not be constrained by restrictions from further transfer, and be deemed to be beyond the Company’s control. If the Company does not meet all of these criteria for sale accounting, then the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing and is referred to as an on-balance sheet asset-backed financing.

If the Company meets all three of the sale criteria above, the transaction is recorded as a sale for accounting purposes and is referred to as an off-balance sheet asset-backed financing. Upon sale, the retail motorcycle finance receivables are removed from the Company’s Consolidated balance sheets and a gain or loss is recognized for the difference between the cash proceeds received, the assets derecognized, and the liabilities recognized as part of the transaction. The gain or loss on sale is recorded in Financial services revenue on the Consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is not required, and does not currently intend, to provide any additional financial support to the on- or off-balance sheet VIEs associated with these transactions. Investors and creditors in these transactions only have recourse to the assets held by the VIEs.

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Securitization VIEs – The Company transfers U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs that in turn issue secured notes to investors, with various maturities and interest rates, secured by future collections of the purchased U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables. Each on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization SPE is a separate legal entity, and the U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables included in the asset-backed securitizations are only available for payment of the secured debt and other obligations arising from the asset-backed securitization transactions and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors until the associated secured debt and other obligations are satisfied. Restricted cash balances held by the SPEs are used only to support the securitizations. There are no amortization schedules for the secured notes; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. The secured notes currently have various contractual maturities ranging from 2025 to 2031.

The Company is the primary beneficiary of its on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization VIEs because it retains servicing rights and a residual interest in the VIEs in the form of a debt security. As the servicer, the Company is the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As a residual interest holder, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Quarterly transfers of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs, the respective proceeds, and the respective proceeds, net of discounts and issuance costs were as follows (in millions):

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed U.S. Commercial Paper Conduit Facility VIE – In November 2023, the Company renewed its $1.50 billion revolving facility agreement (the U.S. Conduit Facility) with third-party banks and their asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits. Under the revolving facility agreement, the Company may transfer U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE, which in turn may issue debt to those third-party banks and their asset-backed U.S. commercial paper

Table of Contents

conduits. From November 2020 through November 2022, the U.S. Conduit Facility allowed for uncommitted additional borrowings of up to $300.0 million at the lenders’ discretion. At June 30, 2023, $18.4 million remained outstanding under the uncommitted additional borrowings previously allowed. Availability under the U.S. Conduit Facility is based on, among other things, the amount of eligible U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables held by the SPE as collateral.

Under the U.S. Conduit Facility, the assets of the SPE are restricted as collateral for the payment of the debt or other obligations arising in the transaction and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors. The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing commercial paper rates if funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper. The interest rate on all outstanding debt and future borrowings, if not funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper, is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), with provisions for a transition to other benchmark rates in the future, if necessary. In addition to interest, a program fee is assessed based on the outstanding debt principal balance. The U.S. Conduit Facility also provides for an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment. Prior to November 2022, when calculating the unused fee, the aggregate commitment did not include any unused portion of the $300.0 million uncommitted additional borrowings allowed. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the U.S. Conduit Facility, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables held by the SPE is approximately 5 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of June 30, 2024, the U.S. Conduit Facility had an expiration date of November 20, 2024.

The Company is the primary beneficiary of its U.S. Conduit Facility VIE because it retains servicing rights and a residual interest in the VIE in the form of a debt security. As the servicer, the Company is the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As a residual interest holder, the Company has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the VIE.

There were no finance receivable transfers under the U.S. Conduit Facility during the second quarter of 2024 or first half of 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company transferred $334.8 million of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE which, in turn, issued $306.0 million of debt under the U.S. Conduit Facility.

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – In June 2024, the Company renewed and amended its revolving facility agreement (Canadian Conduit) with a Canadian bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduit. Under the renewed and amended agreement, the Canadian Conduit is contractually committed, at the Company's option, to purchase eligible Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables for proceeds up to C$165.0 million, which was a C$40.0 million increase in the total commitment. The transferred assets are restricted as collateral for the payment of the associated debt. The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing market interest rates plus a specified margin. The Canadian Conduit also provides for a program fee and an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the Canadian Conduit, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables is approximately 5 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of June 30, 2024, the Canadian Conduit had an expiration date of June 30, 2025.

The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the Canadian bank-sponsored, multi-seller conduit VIE; therefore, the Company does not consolidate the VIE. However, the Company treats the conduit facility as a secured borrowing as it maintains effective control over the assets transferred to the VIE and, therefore, does not meet the requirements for sale accounting.

As the Company participates in and does not consolidate the Canadian bank-sponsored, multi-seller conduit VIE, the maximum exposure to loss associated with this VIE, which would only be incurred in the unlikely event that all the finance receivables and underlying collateral have no residual value, was $16.4 million at June 30, 2024. The maximum exposure is not an indication of the Company's expected loss exposure.

Quarterly transfers of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit and the respective proceeds were as follows (in millions):

Finance Receivables, net – The carrying value of retail and wholesale finance receivables is amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses. The fair value of retail finance receivables is generally calculated by discounting future cash flows using an estimated discount rate that reflects current credit, interest rate and prepayment risks associated with similar types of instruments. Fair value is determined based on Level 3 inputs. The amortized cost basis of wholesale finance receivables approximates fair value because they are generally either short-term or have interest rates that adjust with changes in market interest rates.

Deposits, net – The carrying value of deposits is amortized cost, net of fees. The fair value of deposits is estimated based upon rates currently available for deposits with similar terms and maturities. Fair value is calculated using Level 3 inputs.

Debt – The carrying value of debt is generally cost, net of unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair value of unsecured commercial paper is calculated using Level 2 inputs and approximates carrying value due to its short maturity. The fair value of debt provided under the U.S. Conduit Facility and the Canadian Conduit Facility is calculated using Level 2 inputs and approximates carrying value since the interest rates charged under the facilities are tied directly to market rates and fluctuate as market rates change. The fair values of the medium-term notes and senior notes are estimated based upon rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of the fixed-rate debt related to on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions is estimated based on pricing currently available for transactions with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of the floating-rate debt related to on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions is calculated using Level 2 inputs and approximates carrying value since the interest rates charged are tied directly to market rates and fluctuate as market rates change.

12. Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns

The Company currently provides a standard two-year limited warranty on all new motorcycles sold worldwide, except in certain markets, where the Company currently provides a standard three-year limited warranty. The Company also provides a five-year limited warranty on the battery for electric motorcycles. In addition, the Company provides a one-year warranty for parts and accessories. The warranty coverage for the retail customer generally begins when the product is sold to a retail customer. The Company accrues for future warranty claims at the time of shipment using an estimated cost based primarily on historical Company claim information.

Table of Contents

Additionally, the Company has from time to time initiated certain voluntary recall campaigns. The Company records estimated recall costs when the liability is both probable and estimable. This generally occurs when the Company's management approves and commits to a recall. The warranty and recall liability is included in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the Company’s warranty and recall liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Other Claims – The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, commercial, employee, environmental and other matters. In determining costs to accrue related to these items, the Company carefully analyzes cases and considers the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes, as well as the potential range of possible loss. The Company accrues for matters when losses are both probable and estimable. Any amounts accrued for these matters are monitored on an ongoing basis and are updated based on new developments or new information as it becomes available for each matter. The Company also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and there are no material exposures to loss in excess of amounts accrued and insured for losses related to these matters.

Supply Matters – During the second quarter of 2022, the Company received information from a Tier 2 supplier, Proterial Cable America, Inc. ("PCA" f/k/a Hitachi Cable America, Inc.), concerning a potential regulatory compliance matter relating to PCA's brake hose assemblies. As a result, out of an abundance of caution, the Company suspended all vehicle assembly and shipments for approximately two weeks during the second quarter of 2022. Since then, the Company has been working through the regulatory compliance matter with PCA, the Company’s relevant Tier-1 suppliers, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the agency responsible for brake hose assembly compliance in the United States.

In connection with this matter, in July 2022, PCA notified NHTSA of a population of brake hose assemblies manufactured between May and July of 2022 that were non-compliant with select NHTSA laboratory test standards. Based on that filing, in August 2022, the Company notified NHTSA of the corresponding population of Harley-Davidson motorcycles containing those brake hose assemblies. In October 2022, PCA amended its original notification, expanding its population of non-compliant brake hose assemblies to include units produced by PCA for use in Harley-Davidson motorcycles beginning as early as model year 2008. In December 2022, the Company amended its August notification, expanding the population to also include Harley-Davidson motorcycles that contained PCA's newly identified brake hose assemblies. In March 2023, PCA again amended its NHTSA notification, identifying additional compliance issues with the previously identified brake hose assemblies. The Company followed PCA's March amendment with a derivative amended notification to NHTSA in May 2023.

In June 2023, the Company received a letter from PCA advising that PCA was investigating a new, separate potential quality issue with brake hose assemblies produced by PCA after the Company’s 2022 production suspension. Due to this issue, the Company was forced to suspend production of most of the motorcycles manufactured at its York facility and run limited motorcycle manufacturing operations there for approximately two weeks. The Company continued to manufacture, among other motorcycles, the 2023 CVO Road Glide and Street Glide, which do not use PCA's brake hose assemblies. It also continued its normal motorcycle manufacturing operations at its international facilities. In connection with this matter, in late June 2023, PCA filed a new and separate NHTSA notification, identifying certain brake hose assemblies produced between June of 2022 and June of 2023 as noncompliant with select NHTSA laboratory test standards. The Company followed PCA’s June 2023 notification by filing a derivative notification with NHTSA in early July 2023.

As permitted by federal law, both PCA and the Company have utilized NHTSA’s standard process to petition the agency to determine that these compliance issues are inconsequential to motor vehicle safety ("Inconsequentiality Determinations"). If NHTSA makes the Inconsequentiality Determinations requested, the Company will be exempt from conducting a field action or recall of its motorcycles related to these matters.

In its inconsequentiality petitions, the Company has presented NHTSA with: (1) extensive independent, third-party and internal testing demonstrating that the brake hose assemblies at issue are robust to extreme conditions - which far exceed maximum expected motorcycle lifetime demands - with no impact to brake performance; and (2) real-world field safety data showing no documented crashes or injuries attributable to the identified compliance issues for the relevant affected populations. The Company believes its petitions are closely comparable to inconsequentiality petitions that have resulted in successful inconsequentiality determinations in the past. The Company is also confident that its position that the compliance issues are inconsequential to motor vehicle safety is strong and, therefore, no field action or recall will be necessary.

Based on its expectation that NHTSA will make Inconsequentiality Determinations, the Company does not expect that these regulatory noncompliance matters will result in material costs in the future, and no costs have been accrued to date. However, it is possible that a field action or recall could be required that could cause the Company to incur material costs. There are several variables and uncertainties associated with any potential field action or recall that are not yet fully known including, but not limited to, the population of brake hose assemblies and motorcycles, the specific field action or recall required, the complexity and cost of the required repair, the need for and availability of replacement parts, the suppliers of replacement parts and the number of motorcycle owners that would participate. The Company estimates, based on its available information and assumptions, that the cost of a potential field action or recall in the aggregate, if any were to occur, could range from approximately $100 million to $400 million. The Company continues to evaluate and update its estimates as

it learns more about these regulatory matters, including the variables and uncertainties discussed above. The Company also continues to maintain its expectation that NHTSA will make the requested Inconsequentiality Determinations and that these regulatory matters will not result in any material field action or recall costs. If a material field action or recall were to result, the Company would seek full recovery of those amounts.

Overview(1)

Net income attributable to Harley-Davidson, Inc. was $218.3 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $178.0 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023.

In the second quarter of 2024, HDMC segment operating income was $197.9 million, up $3.6 million from the second quarter of 2023. The increase in operating income from the HDMC segment for the second quarter of 2024 was driven primarily by higher motorcycle shipments and favorable mix partially offset by unfavorable impacts related to pricing and promotional costs to promote the sale of model year 2023 carryover inventory at dealers as well as higher manufacturing costs and operating expenses compared to the same quarter last year. Operating loss from the LiveWire segment in the second quarter of 2024 was $28.2 million compared to an operating loss of $32.0 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to lower operating expenses. Operating income from the HDFS segment in the second quarter of 2024 was $71.4 million, up $12.4 million compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to higher interest income partially offset by higher interest and operating expenses.

Worldwide retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the second quarter of 2024 declined 3% compared to the second quarter of 2023. Retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles continued to be impacted by a challenging macro environment including high interest rates adversely impacting consumer discretionary spending. Retail sales in North America were down 0.6% with a decline in Canada offsetting a slight increase in the United States. Despite challenging conditions, retail sales were up 0.3% in the United States as they were positively impacted by sales of the Company's new model year 2024 Touring motorcycles. Retail sales were down 1.3% in EMEA and 16.0% in Asia-Pacific. Refer to the Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Retail Sales and Registration Data section for further discussion of retail sales results.

Key Factors Impacting the Company(1)

Table of Contents

Interest Rates - Interest rates increased significantly during 2022 and into 2023 as central banks attempted to reduce inflation. The current higher interest rate environment has adversely impacted HDFS' interest income margin due to a higher cost of funds that is only partially offset by increased interest rates on financing products sold by HDFS. Additionally, higher interest rates have adversely impacted consumer discretionary purchases, like purchases of the Company's motorcycles, as higher borrowing costs have made these purchases less affordable or impacted the consumer's ability to obtain financing. While the Company expects interest rates to moderate, interest rates remained heightened during the first six months of 2024.

Suspension of Additional European Union Tariffs – In April 2021, the Company received notification from the Economic Ministry of Belgium that, following a request from the European Union (EU), the Company would be subject to revocation of the Binding Origin Information (BOI) decisions that allowed it to supply its EU markets with certain motorcycles produced at its Thailand manufacturing facility at tariff rates of 6%. As a result of the revocation, all non-electric motorcycles that Harley-Davidson imported into the EU, regardless of origin, were subject to a total tariff rate of 31% from April 19, 2021 through the end of 2021. On October 30, 2021, the U.S. and EU announced an agreement related to the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum that were implemented in 2018 by the U.S. and the subsequent rebalancing tariff measures taken by the EU. This agreement suspended the additional tariffs initially imposed by the EU on the Company's motorcycles, reducing the total EU tariff rate on the Company’s motorcycles from 31% to 6%, effective January 1, 2022. The lower 6% tariff rate applies to all motorcycles imported by the Company into the EU, regardless of origin. Under the initial agreement between the U.S. and the EU, the lower tariff rate remained in effect until December 31, 2023. In December 2023, the EU extended its suspension of the additional tariffs through March 31, 2025 and the U.S. extended its suspension of the additional tariffs through December 31, 2025. The U.S. and EU will monitor and review the operation of the extended agreement, seeking to conclude the negotiations on steel and aluminum tariffs by March 31, 2025. These negotiations are ongoing, and there are no assurances the U.S. and EU will reach a resolution that concludes the trade conflict on steel and aluminum tariffs beyond March 31, 2025.

To date, the Company continues to pursue its appeals of the revocation of the BOI decisions and the denial of its application for temporary extended reliance on the 6% tariff rate (for motorcycles produced in Thailand and ordered prior to April 19, 2021), although there is no assurance that these appeals will continue or be successful.

Guidance(1)

On July 25, 2024, the Company reaffirmed its expectations for HDFS and LiveWire for 2024 and revised its expectations for both HDMC and the Company's planned share repurchases:

Based on results for the first half of 2024, the Company now expects HDMC revenue to be down 5% to down 9% in 2024 compared to 2023. The Company's previous expectation was for HDMC revenue to be flat to down 9% compared to 2023. The Company continues to expect that, for the full-year 2024, wholesale unit shipments of Harley-Davidson motorcycles will be in balance with dealer retail unit sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles resulting in a dealer inventory level at the end of 2024 that is similar to the end of 2023. Therefore, the Company now expects both wholesale shipments and retail sales to be within a range of approximately 163,000 to 168,000 units for the full year of 2024, down from its previous expectation for wholesale shipments and retail sales that were within a range of approximately 163,000 to 178,000 units in 2024. Based on the updated unit expectations for 2024, retail unit sales in 2024 are expected to be flat to up 3% compared to 2023 and wholesale unit shipments are expected be down 7% to down 10% compared to 2023. In addition, the Company's revenue expectation for 2024 also reflects expectations that (i) pricing will be down slightly compared to 2023 given the elimination of the pricing surcharge late in 2023 and a fine-tuned pricing strategy in 2024, especially with respect to the Company's new Touring models, (ii) the impact of motorcycle shipment mix will be favorable compared to 2023 given the Company's continued focus on core products as part of The Hardwire strategy and (iii) there will be an adverse impact from foreign currency exchange rates in 2024.

Given the updated expectations for revenue and wholesale unit shipments, the Company now expects HDMC operating margin as a percent of revenue to be 10.6% to 11.6% in 2024, which is lower than its previous expectation of 12.6% to 13.6% in 2024. The Company continues to believe the expected decline in operating margin in 2024 compared to 2023 will be due to (i) lower expected wholesale unit volumes compared to 2023 and the resulting negative impact of higher costs per unit, (ii) lower overall pricing compared to 2023 and continued modest supply chain inflation, and (iii) the impact of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. Finally, the Company also expects some incremental manufacturing costs in 2024 due primarily to the re-alignment of factory processes in the initial year of production of its new model year 2024 Touring motorcycles.

The Company continues to expect LiveWire motorcycle sales of 1,000 to 1,500 units in 2024 and expects LiveWire's operating loss for 2024 to be $105 million to $115 million.

The Company continues to expect HDFS operating income to be flat to up 5% in 2024 compared to 2023. The Company expects HDFS results to stabilize in 2024 as it compares to the higher interest rate environment that began in 2022 and with a

moderation in borrowing costs in 2024 based on anticipated actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve. The Company also expects the average yield on the retail and wholesale finance receivable portfolios to be more in-line with the recent higher interest rate environment as the retail portfolio shifts to include a higher mix of recent loans with higher interest rates resulting in greater interest revenue. Additionally, the Company expects the credit loss rate will begin to moderate in the second half of 2024 and into 2025 compared to the second half of 2023 through the first half of 2024 as consumers adjust to the existing economic environment.

In 2022 the Company set a productivity target to eliminate $400 million of incremental cost incurred since 2020 by 2025. This target originally included a positive impact from manufacturing leverage of approximately $50 million to $70 million based on an anticipated reduction in the fixed cost per motorcycle associated with increasing production volumes. Given the decrease in production volumes in 2023 and the expected decrease in 2024, the Company has adjusted the target by removing the impact of manufacturing leverage and increasing productivity objectives in other areas. The total productivity target remains at $400 million. Excluding the impact of manufacturing leverage, the Company achieved approximately $24 million in productivity savings in 2022 and approximately $123 million in 2023. The previously reported productivity savings, which included the impact of manufacturing leverage (whether positive or negative) were approximately $50 million and $70 million in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The Company remains focused on production efficiency, logistics network optimization and supplier cost optimization through consolidation and regionalization in 2024. The Company continues to expect approximately $100 million of additional cost productivity savings in 2024 and achieved savings of approximately $50 million during the first half of 2024.

The Company continues to expect capital investments in 2024 of between $225 and $250 million. The Company plans to continue to invest in product development and capability enhancements that support The Hardwire strategy. The Company's focus remains on core product innovation, investments in manufacturing to automate and reduce costs to improve productivity as well as planned investments for LiveWire. 

The Company's capital allocation priorities remain to fund profitable growth through The Hardwire initiatives, to pay dividends, and to execute share repurchases on a discretionary basis. In July 2024, the Company announced plans to repurchase approximately $1 billion of shares on a discretionary basis in aggregate starting in the third quarter of 2024 through the end of 2026. As a result, the Company now plans to repurchase up to $500 million of shares in 2024. Share repurchases in 2024 were previously planned to be at a level similar to 2023 which included $350 million of discretionary share repurchases. The Company believes this plan highlights its operating discipline, its overall cash flow generation and long-term earnings power as reflected by its continued commitment to deliver a 15% HDMC operating income margin by the end of 2025.

The Company reported operating income of $241.1 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $221.3 million in the same period last year. The HDMC segment reported operating income of $197.9 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $3.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. Operating loss from the LiveWire segment increased $3.8 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. Operating income from the HDFS segment increased $12.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2023. Refer to the HDMC Segment, LiveWire Segment and HDFS Segment sections for a more detailed discussion of the factors affecting operating results.

Other income in the second quarter of 2024 was higher than in the second quarter of 2023, impacted by a benefit related to LiveWire's warrant liability, which decreased in fair value, partially offset by lower non-operating income related to the Company's defined benefit plans.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 18.4% compared to 25.1% for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the second quarter was attributable to changes in the mix of earnings for foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at rates that differ from the U.S. statutory rate.

Diluted earnings per share was $1.63 in the second quarter of 2024, up 33.6% from the same period last year. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding decreased from 145.8 million in the second quarter of 2023 to 134.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, driven by the Company's discretionary repurchases of common stock. Refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources for additional information concerning the Company's share repurchase activity.

(a)Data source for retail sales figures shown above is new sales warranty and registration information provided by dealers and compiled by the Company. The Company must rely on information that its dealers supply concerning new retail sales, and the Company does not regularly verify the information that its dealers supply. This information is subject to revision.

During the second quarter of 2024, retail sales in North America were down 0.6% with a decline in Canada offsetting a slight increase in the United States. The improvement in the United States was more than offset by a decline in international markets, including a 16.0% decrease in Asia Pacific as well as a 1.3% decrease in Europe.

U.S. retail sales were positively impacted by the Company's new 2024 model year motorcycles driven by sales of the new Touring models despite a continued challenging macro environment which included high interest rates adversely impacting consumer discretionary spending. The Company's retail sales also benefited from promotions focused on the sale of model year 2023 carryover inventory at dealers. Retail sales in Asia Pacific, Canada and Europe were soft primarily due to challenging macroeconomic conditions. In Asia Pacific, the decline in retail sales was primarily due to lower sales in China, while lower retail unit sales in Europe were led by a decline in Germany.

Worldwide retail inventory of new motorcycles was approximately 68,000 units at the end of the second quarter of 2024, or up approximately 47% compared to the end of the second quarter of 2023, but remained lower than historical levels experienced prior to 2020. The Company believes current overall dealer inventory of new motorcycles is appropriate during the riding season and considering the recent launch of new model year 2024 motorcycles. Retail inventory of new motorcycles is based on units at the end of the quarter rather than average monthly inventory levels within the quarter.

Three months ended June 30, 2024	$	1,348.9	$	915.8	$	433.1

Factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2024 were as follows:

•The increase in volume was primarily due to higher motorcycle shipments.

•Revenue was adversely impacted by the elimination of the pricing surcharge late in 2023 and a fine-tuned pricing strategy for 2024 as well as higher promotional costs to promote the sale of model year 2023 carryover inventory at dealers.

•Revenue and gross profit were unfavorably impacted by weaker average foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar compared to the same quarter last year.

•Changes in the shipment mix had a favorable impact on gross profit as the Company shipped a greater proportion of Grand American Touring models during the quarter.

•Raw material costs benefited from continued moderation in the rate of inflation.

•Manufacturing and other costs were negatively impacted by continued moderate inflation and a ratification bonus related to the new collective bargaining agreements with hourly employees in Wisconsin. These negative impacts were partially offset by productivity gains related to reduced reliance on expedited freight and reduced ocean freight rates.

Operating expenses were up in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in warranty expenses and employee exit costs for select headcount reductions that the Company made in connection with its on-going effort to aggressively manage operating expenses and increase productivity.

During the second quarter of 2024, revenue decreased by $0.6 million, or 8.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower electric balance bike volumes partially offset by an increase in electric motorcycle units sold during the quarter as compared to the same period last year. Cost of sales decreased by $1.7 million, or 17.4%, during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter of 2023 due primarily to lower electric balance bike volumes.

Operating income	$	71,363	$	58,985	$	12,378	21.0	%

Interest income was higher for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher average outstanding finance receivables at a higher average yield. Other income decreased in part due to reduced investment income and unfavorable licensing revenue. Interest expense increased due to higher average interest rates on higher average outstanding debt and deposits.

The provision for credit losses decreased $1.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2023 driven by a favorable change in the allowance for credit losses partially offset by higher actual credit losses. The favorable change in the allowance for credit losses was due to a smaller increase in the retail reserve rate and slower receivables growth compared to the second quarter of 2023.

The allowance for credit losses considers current economic conditions and the Company’s outlook on future conditions. At the end of the second quarter of 2024, the Company's outlook on economic conditions and its probability weighting of its economic forecast scenarios was weighted toward more pessimistic scenarios given continued challenging macro-economic conditions, including a persistently high interest rate environment, elevated inflation levels, and muted consumer confidence. Refer to the Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to the Six Months ended June 30, 2023 for a discussion of 2024 annualized credit losses.

Operating expenses increased $4.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2023 due in part to a loss on a securitization interest rate cap derivative valuation versus a gain in the prior year and higher repossession costs.

The Company reported operating income of $504.2 million in the first six months of 2024 compared to $590.9 million in the same period last year. HDMC segment operating income was $436.4 million in the first six months of 2024, down $93.7 million compared to the same period last year. Operating loss from the LiveWire segment increased $0.9 million compared to the first six months of 2023. Operating income from the HDFS segment increased $7.8 million compared to the first six months of 2023. Refer to the HDMC Segment, LiveWire Segment and HDFS Segment discussions for a more detailed analysis of the factors affecting operating income.

Other income in the first six months of 2024 was higher than the same period last year impacted by a benefit related to LiveWire's warrant liability, which decreased in fair value, partially offset by lower non-operating income related to the Company's defined benefit plans.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2024 was 19.3% compared to 23.8% for the same period in 2023. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2024 was attributable to changes in the mix of earnings for foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at rates that differ from the U.S. statutory rate.

Diluted earnings per share was $3.34 in the first six months of 2024, up from diluted earnings per share of $3.27 for the same period last year, despite lower net income, due to the impact of lower diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding decreased from 147.4 million in the first six months of 2023 to 135.5 million in the first six months of 2024, driven by the Company's discretionary repurchases of common stock.

Worldwide retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles were down 1.7% during the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period last year driven primarily by a declines in Asia Pacific and Europe, partially offset by an increase in the United States. Retail sales in the United States were positively impacted by the Company's new 2024 model year Touring models despite a continued challenging macro environment which included high interest rates adversely impacting consumer discretionary spending. The Company's retail sales also benefited from promotions focused on the sale of model year 2023 carryover inventory at dealers. Retail sales in Asia Pacific and Europe were soft primarily due to challenging macroeconomic conditions. In Asia Pacific, the decline in retail sales was primarily due to lower sales in China, while lower retail unit sales in Europe were driven primarily by declines in Germany.

Factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the first six months of 2023 to the first six months of 2024 were as follows:

•The increase in volume was primarily due to higher motorcycle shipments.

•Revenue was adversely impacted by the elimination of the pricing surcharge late in 2023, a fine-tuned pricing strategy for 2024 and higher promotional costs to promote the sale of model year 2023 carryover inventory at dealers.

•Revenue and gross profit were negatively impacted by weaker average foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar as well as unfavorable net foreign currency losses associated with hedging recorded in cost of goods sold.

•Changes in the shipment mix of motorcycles had a favorable impact on gross profit as the Company shipped a greater proportion of Grand American Touring models in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

•Raw material costs benefited from continued moderation in the rate of inflation.

•Manufacturing and other costs were negatively impacted by lower manufacturing leverage, continued moderate inflation and a ratification bonus related to the new collective bargaining agreements with hourly employees in Wisconsin. The lower manufacturing leverage related to units shipped at the start of 2024 but produced in the fourth quarter of 2023, in advance of the new model year launch, when production volumes were lower compared to the prior year period which resulted in a higher fixed cost per unit. These negative impacts were partially offset by productivity gains, including reduced reliance on expedited freight as well as reduced ocean freight rates.

Operating expenses were higher in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period last year primarily due to an increase in warranty expenses and employee exit costs for select headcount reductions that the Company made in connection its on-going effort to aggressively manage operating expenses and increase productivity.

During the first six months of 2024, revenue decreased by $3.6 million, or 24.6%, compared to the first six months of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower electric balance bike volumes partially offset by an increase in electric motorcycle volumes sold during the first six months of 2024 as compared to the same period last year. Cost of sales increased by $0.4 million, or 2.5%, during the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 on higher electric motorcycle volumes.

Interest income was higher for the first six months of 2024, primarily due to higher average outstanding finance receivables at a higher average yield. Other income decreased largely due to lower investment income and lower licensing and insurance revenues. Interest expense increased due to higher average interest rates on higher average outstanding debt and deposits.

The provision for credit losses was $7.4 million higher in the first six months of 2024 as compared to the prior year primarily due to higher actual credit losses partially offset by a favorable change in the allowance for credit losses. The favorable change in the allowance for credit losses in the first six months of 2024 was primarily due to a smaller increase in the reserve rate as compared to the first six months of 2023. The Company's outlook on economic conditions and its

probability weighting of its economic forecast scenarios at the end of the second quarter of 2024 were weighted towards more pessimistic scenarios given continued challenging macro‐economic conditions, including a persistently high interest rate environment, elevated inflation levels, and muted consumer confidence. The Company’s expectations surrounding its economic forecasts may change in future periods as additional information becomes available.

Annualized credit losses on the Company's retail motorcycle loans were 3.12% at the end of the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2.61% at the end of the second quarter of 2023. The 30-day delinquency rate for retail motorcycle loans at June 30, 2024 increased to 3.92% from 3.63% at June 30, 2023. The unfavorable retail credit loss and delinquency performance were driven by several factors connected to the macro-economic environment and related customer and industry dynamics, including the impact of higher motorcycle payments and general inflationary pressures on customers. Additionally, the Company continues to experience downward pressure on recovery values at auction.

Operating expenses increased $10.7 million in the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 due in part to higher repossession costs, unfavorable foreign currency rates, and higher tax-related expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s strategy is to maintain a minimum of twelve months of its projected liquidity requirements through a combination of cash and cash equivalents and availability under its credit facilities. The Company believes its current cash, cash equivalents and availability under its credit facilities are sufficient to meet its liquidity requirements, consistent with this strategy.

The Company expects to fund its on-going operations (excluding the origination of finance receivables) and its capital allocation priorities including capital expenditures, dividends and discretionary share repurchases primarily with cash flows from operating activities and cash and cash equivalents on hand.(1) The Company expects to fund the origination of finance receivables primarily with unsecured debt, unsecured commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper conduit facilities, committed unsecured bank facilities, asset-backed securitizations and brokered certificates of deposit.(1)

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and availability under its credit and conduit facilities at June 30, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

To access the debt capital markets, the Company relies on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings. Generally, lower credit ratings result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to debt capital markets. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw the Company's ratings based on its assessment of the Company's current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. The Company’s short-term debt ratings affect its ability to issue unsecured commercial paper. The Company’s short- and long-term debt ratings, as of June 30, 2024 were as follows:

Operating Activities

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the first half of 2024 compared to the first half of 2023 benefited from changes in working capital, partially offset by higher net cash outflows related to wholesale finance receivables and lower net income. Working capital was positively impacted primarily by a larger decrease in inventory in the first half of 2024 as compared to same period last year and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the first half of 2024 as compared to decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the first half of 2023.

The Company's ongoing operating cash requirements include those related to existing contractual commitments which it expects to fund with cash inflows from operating activities. The Company's purchase orders for inventory used in manufacturing generally do not become firm commitments until 90 days prior to expected delivery. The Company's material contractual operating cash commitments at June 30, 2024 relate to leases, retirement plan obligations and income taxes. The Company's long-term lease obligations and future payments are discussed further in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There are no required qualified pension plan contributions in 2024. The Company’s expected future contributions and benefit payments related to its defined benefit retirement plans are discussed further in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company has a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $18.5 million and related accrued interest and penalties of $8.7 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the period of cash settlement for either the liability for unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties. The Company continues to expect that it will fund its ongoing operating cash requirements related to the origination of finance receivables with the issuance of debt.

Investing Activities

The Company’s most significant investing activities consist of capital expenditures and retail finance receivable originations and collections. Capital expenditures were $87.8 million in the first half of 2024 compared to $86.5 million in the same period last year. The Company's 2024 plan includes estimated capital investments between $225 million and $250 million, all of which the Company expects to fund with net cash flow generated by operations.(1)

Net cash outflows for finance receivables during the first half of 2024 were $49.5 million higher compared to the same period last year due to lower retail finance receivable collections, partially offset by lower originations of finance receivables. The Company funds its finance receivables net lending activity through the issuance of debt, discussed in "Financing Activities" below.

Financing Activities

The Company’s financing activities consist primarily of dividend payments, share repurchases, and debt activity.

The Company paid dividends of $0.345 and $0.330 per share totaling $47.4 million and $48.2 million during the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Cash outflows for share repurchases were $209.7 million in the first half of 2024 compared to $169.6 million in the same period last year. Share repurchases during the first half of 2024 include $200.0 million or 5.5 million shares of common stock related to discretionary repurchases and $9.7 million or 0.3 million shares of common stock employees surrendered to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance shares. As of June 30, 2024, there were 4.2 million shares remaining on a board-approved share repurchase authorization. On July 18, 2024, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 24.4 million additional shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis, resulting in 28.6 million shares remaining on a board-approved share repurchase authorization as of that date. In July 2024, the Company announced plans to repurchase approximately $1 billion of shares on a discretionary basis in aggregate starting in the third quarter of 2024 through the end of 2026. As a result, the Company now plans to repurchase up to $500 million of shares in 2024. The Company expects to fund the share repurchases with cash flow from operations.

Financing cash flows related to debt and brokered certificates of deposit activity resulted in net cash inflows of $0.4 billion in the first six months of 2024 compared to net cash inflows of $0.2 billion in the same period last year.

Deposits – HDFS offers brokered certificates of deposit to customers indirectly through contractual arrangements with third-party banks and/or securities brokerage firms through its bank subsidiary. The Company had $504.1 million and $439.9 million, net of fees, of interest-bearing brokered certificates of deposit outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The deposits are classified as short- and long-term liabilities based upon the term of each brokered certificate of deposit issued. Each separate brokered certificate of deposit is issued under a master certificate, and as such, all outstanding brokered certificates of deposit are considered below the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance coverage limits.

Credit Facilities – In April 2024, the Company extended its existing $710.0 million five-year credit facility that was due to mature in April 2025 so that it now matures in April 2029 and amended the language of its existing $710.0 million five-year credit facility that matures in April 2027 so that it conforms in all respects to the April 2029 credit facility other than maturity date. The five-year credit facilities (together, the Global Credit Facilities) bear interest at variable rates, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on certain criteria, such as credit ratings. The Global Credit Facilities also require the Company to pay a fee based on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments. The Global Credit Facilities are committed facilities primarily used to support the Company's unsecured commercial paper program.

Unsecured Commercial Paper – Subject to limitations, the Company could issue unsecured commercial paper of up to $1.42 billion as of June 30, 2024 supported by the Global Credit Facilities, as discussed above. Outstanding unsecured commercial paper may not exceed the unused portion of the Global Credit Facilities. Maturities may range up to 365 days from the issuance date. The Company intends to repay unsecured commercial paper as it matures with additional unsecured commercial paper or through other means, such as borrowing under the Global Credit Facilities, borrowing under its asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduit facility or through the use of operating cash flow and cash on hand.(1)

The U.S. dollar-denominated medium-term notes provide for semi-annual interest payments and the foreign currency-denominated medium-term notes provide for annual interest payments. Principal on the medium-term notes is due at maturity. Unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs on the medium-term notes reduced the outstanding balance by $16.6 million and $18.9 million at June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. There were no medium-term note maturities during the first half of 2024. During the second quarter of 2023, $706.7 million of 4.94% medium-term notes matured, and the principal and accrued interest were paid in full. During the first quarter of 2023, $350.0 million of 3.35% medium-term notes matured, and the principal and accrued interest were paid in full.

Senior Notes – In July 2015, the Company issued $750.0 million of unsecured senior notes in an underwritten offering. The senior notes provide for semi-annual interest payments and principal due at maturity. $450.0 million of the senior notes mature in July 2025 and have an interest rate of 3.50%, and $300.0 million of the senior notes mature in July 2045 and have an interest rate of 4.625%. The Company used the proceeds from the debt to repurchase shares of its common stock in 2015.

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – In June 2024, the Company renewed and amended its revolving facility agreement (Canadian Conduit) with a Canadian bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduit. Under the renewed and amended agreement, the Canadian Conduit is contractually committed, at the Company's option, to purchase eligible Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables for proceeds up to C$165.0 million, which was a C$40.0 million increase in the total commitment. The transferred assets are restricted as collateral for the payment of the associated debt. The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing market interest rates plus a specified margin. The Canadian Conduit also provides for a program fee and an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the Canadian Conduit, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables is approximately 5 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement between the Company and the lenders, as of June 30, 2024, the Canadian Conduit had an expiration date of June 30, 2025.

Quarterly transfers of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit and the respective proceeds were as follows (in millions):


	2024				2023
	Transfers		Proceeds		Transfers		Proceeds
First quarter	$	34.9	$	28.6	$	—	$	—

	$	55.5	$	45.5	$	40.5	$	33.5

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed U.S. Commercial Paper Conduit Facilities VIE – In November 2023, the Company renewed its $1.50 billion revolving facility agreement (the U.S. Conduit Facility) with third-party banks and their asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits. Under the revolving facility agreement, the Company may transfer U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE, which in turn may issue debt to those third-party banks and their asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits. From November 2020 through November 2022, the U.S. Conduit Facility allowed for uncommitted additional borrowings of up to $300.0 million at the lenders’ discretion. At June 30, 2023, $18.4 million remained outstanding under the

Table of Contents

uncommitted additional borrowings previously allowed. Availability under the U.S. Conduit Facility is based on, among other things, the amount of eligible U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables held by the SPE as collateral.

The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing commercial paper rates if funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper. The interest rate on all borrowings, if not funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper, is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), with provisions for a transition to other benchmark rates in the future, if necessary. In addition to interest, a program fee is assessed based on the outstanding debt principal balance. The U.S. Conduit Facility also provides for an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the U.S. Conduit Facility, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables held by the SPE is approximately 5 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of June 30, 2024, the U.S. Conduit Facility had an expiration date of November 20, 2024.

Asset-Backed Securitization VIEs – For all of its asset-backed securitization transactions, the Company transfers U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to separate VIEs, which in turn issue secured notes with various maturities and interest rates to investors. All of the notes held by the VIEs are secured by future collections of the purchased U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables. The U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables included in the asset-backed securitization transactions are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company's creditors until the associated debt and other obligations are satisfied. Restricted cash balances held by the VIEs are used only to support the securitizations.

The accounting treatment for asset-backed securitizations depends on the terms of the related transaction and the Company’s continuing involvement with the VIE. The Company's current outstanding asset-backed securitizations do not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sale because, in addition to retaining servicing rights, the Company retains a financial interest in the VIE in the form of a debt security. These transactions are treated as secured borrowings, and as such, the retail motorcycle finance receivables remain on the balance sheet with a corresponding obligation reflected as debt. There is no amortization schedule for the secured notes; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related retail motorcycle finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. The secured notes currently have various contractual maturities ranging from 2025 to 2031.

Quarterly transfers of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs, the respective proceeds, and the respective proceeds, net of discounts and issuance costs were as follows (in millions):


	2024						2023

On February 14, 2024, Harley-Davidson, Inc. entered into a Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “Convertible Term Loan”) with LiveWire Group, Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of LiveWire Group, Inc. whereby LiveWire may obtain term loans in one or more advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The outstanding principal under the Convertible Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum, as calculated on the date of each advance and as of each June 1 and December 1 thereafter. The interest rate is calculated based on the sum of (i) the forward-

Table of Contents

looking term rate based on SOFR for a six-month interest period, plus (ii) 4.00%. The Convertible Term Loan does not include affirmative covenants impacting the operations of LiveWire. The Convertible Term Loan includes negative covenants restricting the ability of LiveWire to incur indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, make investments, make fundamental changes, make dividends or other restricted payments and enter into affiliate transactions. The Convertible Term Loan has a maturity date of the earlier of (i) 24 months from the date of the first draw on the loan or (ii) October 31, 2026. In the event that the Convertible Term Loan cannot be settled in cash by LiveWire at maturity, unless otherwise agreed between Harley-Davidson, Inc. and LiveWire, the Convertible Term Loan will be converted to equity of LiveWire Group, Inc. at a conversion price per share of LiveWire Group, Inc. common stock equal to 90% of the volume weighted average price per share of common stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. As of June 30, 2024, there had been no draws and there was no outstanding balance under the Convertible Term Loan.

Operating and Financial Covenants – Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc. and the Company are subject to various operating and financial covenants related to the credit facilities and various operating covenants under the medium-term and senior notes and the U.S. and Canadian asset-backed commercial paper conduit facilities.

In addition, the ratio of the Company's consolidated debt to the Company's consolidated debt and consolidated shareholders’ equity (where the Company's consolidated debt in each case excludes that of Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc. and its subsidiaries, and the Company's consolidated shareholders’ equity excludes AOCL), cannot exceed 0.7 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. No financial covenants are required under the medium-term or senior notes or the U.S. or Canadian asset-backed commercial paper conduit facilities.

As of June 30, 2024, Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc. and the Company remained in compliance with all of the then existing covenants.

The Company’s ability to sell its motorcycles and related products and services and to meet its financial expectations also depends on the ability of the Company’s dealers to sell its motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends on the capability and financial capacity of its dealers to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from the Company. In addition, the Company’s dealers and distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related products and services as a result of weather, economic conditions, or other factors.

HDFS' retail credit losses have normalized in recent quarters to higher levels after a period of historically low levels of credit losses. Further, the Company believes that HDFS's retail credit losses will continue to change over time due to changing consumer credit behavior, macroeconomic conditions, including the impact of inflation and HDFS's efforts to increase prudently structured loan approvals to sub-prime borrowers. In addition, HDFS’s efforts to adjust underwriting criteria based on market and economic conditions and the actions that the Company has taken and could take that impact motorcycle values may impact HDFS's retail credit losses.

The Company's operations, demand for its products, and its liquidity could be adversely impacted by work stoppages, facility closures, strikes, natural causes, widespread infectious disease, terrorism, war or other hostilities, including the conflict in Ukraine and the Red Sea conflict, or other factors. Refer to Risk Factors under Item 1.A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a discussion of additional risk factors and a more complete discussion of some of the cautionary statements noted above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. To reduce such risks, the Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to regularly reviewed policies and procedures, which prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. Sensitivity analysis is used to manage and monitor foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks. Further disclosure relating to the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments is included in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements.

HDMC Segment

The Company sells its motorcycles and related products internationally and in most markets those sales are made in the foreign country’s local currency. As a result, the HDMC segment operating results are affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies. The Company’s most significant foreign currency exchange rate risk resulting from the sale of motorcycles and related products relates to the Euro, Australian dollar, Japanese yen, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Chinese yuan, Singapore dollar, Thai baht and Pound sterling. The Company utilizes foreign currency contracts to mitigate the effect of certain currencies' fluctuations on HDMC segment operating results. The foreign currency contracts are entered into with banks and allow the Company to exchange currencies at a future date, based on a fixed exchange rate. There have been no material changes to the foreign currency exchange rate market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company purchases commodities for the use in the production of motorcycles. As a result, HDMC segment operating income is affected by changes in commodity prices. The Company uses derivative financial instruments on a limited basis to hedge the prices of certain commodities. There have been no material changes to the commodity market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

LiveWire Segment

LiveWire sells its electric motorcycles, electric balance bikes and related products internationally, and in most markets, those sales are made in the foreign country’s local currency. As a result, LiveWire’s operating results are affected by fluctuations in the values of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies; however, the impact of such fluctuations on LiveWire’s operations to date have not been material given the majority of LiveWire’s sales are currently in the U.S. LiveWire plans to expand its business and operations internationally and expects its exposure to currency rate risk to increase as it grows its international presence.

HDFS Segment

The Company has interest rate-sensitive financial instruments including financial receivables, debt and interest rate derivative financial instruments. As a result, HDFS operating income is affected by changes in interest rates. The Company utilizes interest rate caps to reduce the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on its asset-backed securitization transactions. There have been no material changes to the interest rate market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

HDFS also has short-term commercial paper and debt issued through the commercial paper conduit facilities that is subject to changes in interest rates, which it does not hedge. There have been no material changes to the interest rate market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company has foreign denominated medium-term notes, and as a result, HDFS operating income is affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies and interest rates.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information required under this Item 1 of Part II is contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements, and such information is incorporated herein by reference in this Item 1 of Part II.

H-D Japan Matter - As reported, on or about July 30, 2024, the Fair Trade Commission in Japan ("Japan FTC") initiated an investigation into Harley-Davidson Japan KK ("H-D Japan"), a subsidiary of the Company, for alleged improper activity, including setting excessive sales quotas for H-D Japan’s motorcycle dealers. H-D Japan is evaluating the matter and cooperating with the Japan FTC in its investigation. The Company does not expect that this matter will result in material costs in the future, and no costs have been accrued to date. The Company is not aware of activity similar to the alleged activity occurring outside Japan.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in Harley-Davidson, Inc. involves risks, including the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have not materially changed except as set forth below. This risk factor has been updated to reflect the new expiration date of the current collective bargaining agreements with hourly employees in Wisconsin.

•The Company's motorcycle operations are dependent upon unionized labor. A substantial portion of the hourly production employees working in the Company's motorcycle operations are represented by unions and covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company is currently a party to three collective bargaining agreements with local affiliates of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers and the United Steelworkers of America. The current collective bargaining agreement with hourly employees in Pennsylvania will expire on October 15, 2027 and the agreements with employees in Wisconsin will expire on March 31, 2029. There is no certainty that the Company will be successful in negotiating new agreements with these unions that extend beyond the current expiration dates or that these new agreements will be on terms that will allow the Company to be competitive. The Company's decisions regarding opening, closing, expanding, contracting or restructuring its facilities may require changes to existing or new bargaining agreements. Failure to renew agreements when they expire or to establish new collective bargaining agreements on terms acceptable to the Company and the unions could result in the relocation of production facilities, work stoppages or other labor disruptions, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.

The Company disclaims any obligation to update these risk factors or any other forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation, and specifically disclaims any such obligation, to update these risk factors or any other forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.

The Company's share repurchases, which consisted of shares repurchased on a discretionary basis and shares of common stock that employees surrendered to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance shares, were as follows during the quarter ended June 30, 2024:


2024 Fiscal Month	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs

	2,931,576	$	35	2,931,576

In August 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis with no dollar limit or expiration date. The Company repurchased 2.9 million shares on a discretionary basis during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 under this authorization. As of June 30, 2024, 4.2 million shares remained under this authorization.

On July 18, 2024, subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 24.4 million additional shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis with no dollar limit or expiration date. Subsequently, in July 2024, the Company announced plans to repurchase approximately $1 billion of shares on a discretionary basis in aggregate starting in the third quarter of 2024 through the end of 2026. As a result, the Company now plans to repurchase up to $500 million of shares in 2024.

Under the share repurchase authorization, the Company’s common stock may be purchased through any one or more of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan and discretionary purchases on the open market, block trades, accelerated share repurchases or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase authority has no expiration date but may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time.

The Company maintains a capital allocation policy to (i) fund The Hardwire strategic initiatives, including the associated capital expenditures, (ii) pay dividends and (iii) exercise discretionary share repurchases. This policy is designed to support the investment required to enhance the long-term value of the Company and to return any excess cash to shareholders.

The amount of capital to be allocated to share repurchases is approved periodically by the Company’s Board of Directors, taking into account the Company’s expected cash flow over time. The specific number of shares repurchased, if any, and the timing of repurchases are determined by Company management from time to time and will depend on a number of factors, including share price, trading volume, and general market conditions, as well as on working capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors.

The Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2020 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2022 Aspirational Incentive Stock Plan (Incentive Plans) and predecessor stock plans permit participants to satisfy all or a portion of the statutory federal, state, and local withholding tax obligations arising in connection with plan awards by electing to (a) have the Company withhold shares otherwise issuable under the award, (b) tender back shares received in connection with such award, or (c) deliver other previously owned shares, in each case having a value equal to the amount to be withheld. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company acquired 1,688 shares of common stock that employees presented to the Company to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance shares.
