The Past Ten Years Polaris Industries Inc. The Past 10 Years Sales and EPS Sales Up 9% to 11% Sales up 88% EPS up 121% (1997 - 2007) EPS $3.40 to $3.48 (+10% to +12%)


 

Total Return to Shareholders January 1, 1998 thru July 17, 2008 Total Return to Shareholders


 

Important Accomplishments Growth - roughly doubled in size Successfully grew to #1 in Side-by-Side business First company in 60 years to successfully enter motorcycle business Increased global presence - established 7 subsidiaries Substantially upgraded facilities, processes, and technology Much improved product quality Successfully grew PG&A business Launched military business Built and developed a very strong team Delivered consistently with an innovative, ethical culture


 

Disappointments Lost market share in snowmobiles and ATVs Decline in Sales / EPS in 2006 Failed to complete KTM transaction Closed PWC business Polaris Professional Series Financial Services Retail Credit with HSBC


 

Future of Polaris 10-Year Strategy Direction


 

Polaris' World is Changing Some core markets declining The demographics and macro trends are starting to become more challenging Our world is truly global Worldwide supply chain 24/7 media Global competitors Polaris has strong market positions today but we cannot stand still. We never have before. The Rate of Change and Challenge is Escalating Rapidly


 

Macro Trends Present Challenges to Polaris' Core Markets Urbanization - people are moving to cities Decline of hunt and farm consumers Aging population in North American and Europe Population trends away from Polaris' traditional core customers Consumer lifestyles Higher costs of energy - green movement Globalization Climate change These Trends Are Not Favorable to Polaris 10 Years Out


 

10 Year Direction - Process Overview 3 study groups with Board members and management Blank sheet of paper - several options considered Two areas of focus: 2007 - 2010 - Medium Term 2011 - 2017 - Long Term Expect Polaris to be successful over both periods $5 Billion in sales by 2017 is an aggressive goal, but is achievable with sensible investments and good execution


 

Conclusions - Medium Term - Through 2010 Polaris is in a much better position today vs. 18 months ago The basic strategy is working We are optimistic about the medium term (through 2010) Good top line growth through 2010 EPS growth faster than sales through 2010 The product plan is very strong for the next several years Main Drivers Aggressive Ranger SxS growth Protect core. ATVs and snowmobiles Respectable growth in military, international, sport and adjacent markets Victory touring market build out Operational Excellence There are several "moving parts" to the plan which must be integrated and delivered "Transformation" of the existing business through Operational Excellence Several big product launches Diversification (launching of adjacent markets and globalization) More Global. More On Road. More Outside Powersports.


 

Long Term Vision - Through 2017 (10 Year Plan) The existing business is likely to be attractive, but more challenging, ten years out. Many key macro changes will be working against us in our existing business (land access, green movement, demographics, etc.) The keys to long term success of our existing business are: Leading the side-by-side category, which should continue to grow. Transforming the business through Operational Excellence Building a large motorcycle business focused on cruisers, touring, and possibly additional categories Defending the ATV and snowmobile markets as they change. In addition to our existing businesses, we must diversify intelligently Build a more global business > 25% of total sales Build a more on road business > 25% of total sales More outside powersports > 25% of total sales $5 Billion in Sales is Possible if Successful
