PERFORMANCE SUMMARY (Reported)
MINNEAPOLIS (January 31, 2023) - Polaris Inc. (NYSE: PII) (the "Company") today released fourth quarter and full year 2022 results.

International sales of $296 million represented 12 percent of total company sales and increased seven percent versus the fourth quarter of 2021.

| Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2022 Earnings Results | ||||
As reported, fourth quarter net income from continuing operations attributable to Polaris of $197 million increased 116 percent and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations ("EPS") of $3.36 increased 129 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to Polaris for the quarter was $202 million, up 48 percent and adjusted EPS was $3.46, up 57 percent, in each case as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
Gross profit margin increased 367 basis points to 23.8 percent for the fourth quarter. Adjusted gross profit margin of 23.8 percent increased 358 basis points driven by higher volumes and favorable pricing partially offset by warranty costs.
Operating expenses were $331 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $254 million in the fourth quarter of 2021 due to higher marketing and G&A expense. Operating expenses, as a percentage of sales, of 13.8 percent were up in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

Off Road segment results were primarily driven by these factors:
•Sales were driven by higher pricing and favorable product mix.
•Parts, Garments and Accessories (PG&A) sales increased eight percent.

•Snow season-to-date unit retail sales were down due to sale and ship holds associated with recalls.
•Polaris North America ORV unit retail sales were down mid-single digits percent. Estimated North America industry ORV unit retail sales were down low-single digits percent.

•Sales were bolstered by a modestly improving supply chain environment, as well as favorable mix and price.
•PG&A sales were essentially flat.

•North America unit retail sales for Indian Motorcycle were up low-single digits percent. North America unit retail sales for the comparable motorcycle industry were down mid-single digits percent.
Marine segment results were primarily driven by these factors:
•Sales results were driven by higher pricing and favorable product mix, as well as healthier inventory levels heading into boat show season.

The Company has not provided reconciliations of guidance for adjusted diluted net income per share, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K.

These items include restructuring and realignment costs and acquisition integration costs that are difficult to predict in advance in order to include in a GAAP estimate.

Restructuring and Realignment Costs
Polaris announced in 2017 that it was making changes to its network to consolidate production and distribution of like products and better leverage plant capacity and embarked on a multi-phase supply chain transformation initiative to continue to leverage its supply chain as a strategic asset. The Company is also executing certain corporate restructuring activities across the organization to increase efficiency and focus its business including divesting of the GEM, Taylor-Dunn and Transamerican Auto Parts businesses. For the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company has recorded combined costs totaling $0.7 million which was included as a non-GAAP adjustment.
Intangible Amortization Related to Acquisitions
The Company uses an adjusted net income metric which excludes intangible amortization from all historical business acquisitions. The Company believes this non-GAAP information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses because the amount and timing of such charges are significantly impacted by the timing, size, number and nature of the acquisitions the Company completes. For the fourth quarter of 2022, Polaris recorded $4.5 million of intangible amortization related to acquisitions as a non-GAAP adjustment.
2023 Adjusted Guidance
2023 guidance excludes the pre-tax effect of supply chain transformation, restructuring and network realignment costs of approximately $5 million, and approximately $10 million for class action litigation-related expenses. Intangible amortization of approximately $20 million related to all acquisitions has also been excluded.
