NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Polaris Inc. (“Polaris” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures of results of operations, financial position, and changes in cash flow in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Accordingly, such statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. Due to the seasonality trends for certain products and certain changes in production and shipping cycles, results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the complete year.

Fair value measurements. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

In making fair value measurements, observable market data must be used when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its non-qualified deferred compensation assets and liabilities, and the income approach for foreign currency contracts, interest rate contracts, and commodity contracts. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities, and for the income approach, the Company uses significant other observable inputs to value its derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency, interest rate transactions, and commodity transactions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):


	Input Level	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Assets
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets	Level 1	$	48.1	$	46.7
Foreign exchange contracts, net	Level 2	$	—	$	4.6
Interest rate contracts, net	Level 2	$	4.8	$	0.9
Liabilities
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities	Level 1	$	(48.1)	$	(46.7)
Foreign exchange contracts, net	Level 2	$	(1.2)	$	—
Commodity contracts, net	Level 2	$	(2.8)	$	(1.3)

Fair value of other financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and current financing obligations, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s long-term financing obligations was approximately $2,164.2 million and $1,954.3 million, respectively, and was determined primarily using Level 2 inputs by discounting projected cash flows based on quoted market rates at which similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed. The carrying value of long-term financing obligations was $2,143.5 million and $1,908.4 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Property and equipment. The Company recorded $64.1 million and $54.2 million of depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $122.5 million and $111.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

New accounting pronouncements.

Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. ASU 2023-07 is intended to enhance financial reporting by requiring incremental disclosures for significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis by public entities required to report segment information in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. This standard will be applicable to the Company for the 2024 annual period and quarterly periods thereafter. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact ASU 2023-07 will have on its financial statement disclosures and anticipates adopting the standard for its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and filings thereafter.

SEC Climate Disclosure Rules. In March 2024, the SEC issued its final climate disclosure rule, which requires the disclosure of material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics in annual reports and registration statements. For large accelerated filers, disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Apart from the items discussed above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, there are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

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 amount of consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred. Sales, value add, and other taxes that are collected from a customer concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point-in-time accounts for the majority of the Company’s revenue. Revenue from products or services transferred over time is discussed in the contract liabilities section below.

For the majority of wholegood vehicles, boats, and parts, garments, and accessories (“PG&A”), the Company transfers control and recognizes a sale when it ships the product from its manufacturing facility, distribution center, or vehicle holding center to the customer. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue it recognizes varies with changes in marketing incentives and rebates it offers to its customers. Payment terms vary by customer and most of the Company’s sales are financed by the customer under floorplan financing arrangements whereby the Company receives payment within a few days of shipment of the product.

When the right of return exists, the Company adjusts the consideration for the estimated effect of returns. The Company estimates expected returns based on historical sales levels, the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales, type of product, type of customer, and a projection of this experience into the future. The Company adjusts its estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration it expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed.

Depending on the terms of the arrangement, the Company may also defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because it has to satisfy a future obligation. The Company uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping as an expense in cost of sales when control over vehicles, boats, or PG&A has transferred to the customer.

The Company sells separately-priced extended service contracts (“ESCs”) that extend mechanical coverages beyond the base limited warranty as well as prepaid maintenance agreements to vehicle owners. Each of these separately-priced service contracts range from 12 months to 84 months. The Company typically receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract.

Table of Contents

Contract Liabilities. Contract liabilities relate to deferred revenue recognized for cash consideration received at contract inception in advance of the Company's performance under the respective contract and generally relate to the sale of separately-priced ESCs. The Company finances its self-insured risks related to ESCs. The premiums for ESCs are primarily recognized in income over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. Warranty costs are recognized as incurred.

The activity in the deferred revenue reserve for ESCs during the periods presented was as follows (in millions):


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

Balance at end of period	$	107.6	$	108.7	$	107.6	$	108.7

The Company expects to recognize approximately $34.4 million of the unearned amount over the 12 months following June 30, 2024, compared to $34.8 million as of June 30, 2023. These amounts were recorded in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. The amount recorded in other long-term liabilities totaled $73.2 million and $73.9 million as of June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 4. Share-Based Compensation

Total share-based compensation expenses were as follows (in millions):


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Option awards	$	2.3	$	1.9	$	7.6	$	7.7

Total share-based compensation expense included in net income	$	7.7	$	9.5	$	15.5	$	18.7

In addition to the above share-based compensation expenses, the Company sponsors a qualified non-leveraged employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”). Shares allocated to eligible participants’ accounts vest at various percentage rates based on years of service and require no cash payments from the recipient.

As of June 30, 2024, there was $73.0 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested share-based equity awards. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Included in unrecognized share-based compensation expense was approximately $9.6 million related to stock options and $63.4 million for restricted stock.

Note 5. Financing Agreements

The carrying value of financing obligations and the average related interest rates were as follows (in millions):


	Average interest rate as of June 30, 2024	Maturity	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Revolving loan facility	6.16%	June 2026	$	487.5	$	228.2
Term loan facility	6.69%	June 2026	756.0		780.0

Less: Current financing obligations			54.1		54.0
Total long-term financing obligations			$	2,089.4	$	1,854.4

Debt issuance costs and discounts are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the related long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of income over the expected remaining terms of the related debt.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had open letters of credit totaling $35.9 million. The amounts are primarily related to inventory purchases and are reduced as the purchases are received.

Private senior notes. In December 2010, the Company entered into an unsecured Master Note Purchase Agreement, which has been amended and supplemented, under which it has issued senior notes. In July 2018, the Company issued $350 million of unsecured senior notes that remain outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and are due in full in July 2028.

Unsecured credit facility. The Company maintains an unsecured credit facility which consists of a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”). In July 2018, the Company amended the credit facility to increase its Term Loan Facility to $1,180 million, of which $756.0 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The Company is required to make principal payments under the Term Loan Facility totaling $45.0 million over the next 12 months. In June 2021, the Company further amended the credit facility to increase its Revolving Loan Facility to $1.0 billion, of which $487.5 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2024, and extend the maturity date to June 2026. Interest is charged at rates based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined.

In November 2023, the Company amended the credit facility to terminate all guarantees provided by subsidiaries of the Company under the credit facility, remove the requirement for subsidiaries of the Company to provide guarantees of the obligations under the credit facility, and remove certain subsidiaries of the Company as co-borrowers.

The agreements governing the credit facility and the Master Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The agreements require the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 on a rolling four quarter basis. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2024.

Public senior notes. In November 2023, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.95% Senior Notes pursuant to a public offering. The Company received approximately $492 million in net proceeds from the notes offering after deducting the underwriting discount and other fees and expenses. The notes bear interest at a rate of 6.95% per year, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears in March and September of each year. The notes mature in March of 2029. The indenture governing the notes is subject to customary covenants and make-whole provisions upon early redemption.

Acquisition-related deferred payments. On July 2, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 29, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Boat Holdings, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana that manufactures boats (“Boat Holdings”). As a component of the Boat Holdings merger agreement, the Company has committed to make a series of deferred payments to the former owners following the closing date of the merger through July 2030. The original discounted payable was for $76.7 million, of which $49.4 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2024. The outstanding balance is included in long-term financing obligations and current financing obligations in the consolidated balance sheets.

The preceding expected amortization expense is an estimate and actual amounts could differ due to additional other intangible asset acquisitions, changes in foreign currency rates, or impairments of other intangible assets.

Note 7. Shareholders’ Equity

Share repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid $82.3 million to repurchase approximately 1.0 million shares of its common stock. As of June 30, 2024, the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to an additional $1,109.3 million of the Company’s common stock.

Dividends. Cash dividends declared and paid per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:


	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Cash dividends declared and paid per common share	$	0.66	$	0.65	$	1.32	$	1.30

Net income per share. Basic net income per share was computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including shares earned under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (“Director Plan”), the ESOP and deferred stock units under the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). Diluted net income per share was computed under the treasury stock method and was calculated to compute the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and certain share-based awards issued under the Omnibus Plan. Reconciliations of these amounts are as follows (in millions):


	Three months ended June 30,		Six months ended June 30,
	2024	2023	2024	2023
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	56.1	56.8	56.3	56.9
Director Plan and deferred stock units	0.3	0.2	0.2	0.2
ESOP	0.2	0.2	0.2	0.2
Common shares outstanding—basic	56.6	57.2	56.7	57.3
Dilutive effect of restricted stock units	0.2	0.3	0.2	0.3
Dilutive effect of stock option awards	0.1	0.3	0.1	0.3
Common and potential common shares outstanding—diluted	56.9	57.8	57.0	57.9

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the number of options that were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the option exercise price was greater than the market price, and therefore the effect would have been anti-dilutive, was 2.9 million and 2.4 million, compared to 1.8 million and 1.7 million for the comparable periods in 2023.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Changes in the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance were as follows (in millions):


	Foreign Currency Translation		Cash Flow Hedging Derivatives		Retirement Plan Activity		Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	(62.6)	$	1.7	$	3.4	$	(57.5)
Reclassification to the statement of income	—		(10.8)		(0.3)		(11.1)
Change in fair value	(27.9)		8.4		—		(19.5)
Balance as of June 30, 2024	$	(90.5)	$	(0.7)	$	3.1	$	(88.1)

See Note 10 for the amount of gains and losses, net of tax, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into the statements of income for cash flow derivatives designated as hedging instruments.

Note 8. Financial Services Arrangements

Polaris Acceptance, a joint venture between the Company and Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance Corporation, a direct subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., which is supported by a partnership agreement between their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, finances substantially all of the Company’s United States sales of off-road vehicles, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and related PG&A, whereby the Company receives payment within a few days of shipment of the product.

The Company’s subsidiary has a 50 percent equity interest in Polaris Acceptance. The Company’s allocable share of the income of Polaris Acceptance has been included as a component of income from financial services in the consolidated statements of income. The partnership agreement is effective through February 2027.

The Company’s total investment in Polaris Acceptance was $142.4 million as of June 30, 2024 and is accounted for under the equity method and recorded in investment in finance affiliate in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding amount of net receivables financed for dealers under this arrangement was $1,882.2 million.

The Company has agreed to repurchase products repossessed by Polaris Acceptance up to an annual maximum of 15 percent of the aggregate average month-end outstanding Polaris Acceptance receivables and Securitized Receivables during the prior calendar year. For calendar year 2024, the potential 15 percent aggregate repurchase obligation is approximately $219.1 million.

A subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated (“Huntington”) finances a portion of the Company’s United States sales of boats whereby the Company receives payment within a few days of shipment of the product. The Company has agreed to repurchase products repossessed by Huntington up to a maximum of 100 percent of the aggregate outstanding Huntington receivables balance. As of June 30, 2024, the potential aggregate repurchase obligation was approximately $255.8 million.

The Company has other financing arrangements related to its foreign subsidiaries in which it has agreed to repurchase repossessed products. For calendar year 2024, the potential aggregate repurchase obligations are approximately $43.1 million.

The Company’s financial exposure under these repurchase agreements is limited to the difference between the amounts unpaid by the dealer or distributor with respect to the repossessed product plus costs of repossession and the amount received on the resale of the repossessed product. No material losses have been incurred under these agreements during the periods presented.

The Company has agreements with third-party financing companies to provide financing options to end consumers of the Company’s products. The Company has no material contingent liabilities for residual value or credit collection risk under these agreements. The Company’s income generated from these agreements has been included as a component of income from financial services in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Product liability. The Company is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. The Company purchases excess insurance coverage annually for product liability claims, which is subject to self-insured retention and aggregate limits. The estimated costs resulting from any losses are charged to operating expenses when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company utilizes historical trends and actuarial analysis, along with an analysis of current claims, to assist in determining the appropriate loss reserve levels. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accrual of $195.2 million for the probable payment of pending claims related to product liability litigation associated with the Company’s products. This accrual is included as a component of accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. Amounts due from insurance carriers, to the extent applicable, reduce our financial exposure to product liability claims and are included as a component of prepaid expenses and other in the consolidated balances sheets.

Litigation. The Company is subject to lawsuits and claims arising in the normal course of business, including matters related to intellectual property, commercial matters, employment, product liability claims and putative class actions. Additional details about certain of the pending putative class actions are provided in Part II, Item 1 – Legal Proceedings.

In the opinion of management, it is presently unlikely that any legal proceedings pending against or involving the Company will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in many of these matters, it is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss given the variety of potential outcomes of actual and potential claims, including legal proceedings resulting in verdicts that exceed policy limits for a given year or seeking punitive damages for certain policy years for which we may not be insured, the uncertainty of future rulings, possible class certification, the behavior or incentives of adverse parties, and other factors outside of the control of the Company.

Table of Contents

Accordingly, the Company’s loss reserve may change from time to time, and actual losses could exceed the amounts accrued by an amount that could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Regulatory. In the normal course of business, the Company’s products are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to safety, environmental, and other regulations promulgated by the United States federal government and individual states, as well as international regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in fines, penalties, or other costs.

Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain 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. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company does not use any financial contracts for trading purposes. The derivative contracts contain credit risk to the extent that our bank counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. The amount of such credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains, if any, in such contracts. Such risk is minimized by limiting those counterparties to major financial institutions of high credit quality and spreading the risk among such financial institutions.

The Company conducts business in various locations throughout the world and is subject to market risk associated with certain product sourcing activities and intercompany cash flows due to changes in the value of foreign currencies in relation to its reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. The Company’s foreign currency management objective is to mitigate the potential impact of currency fluctuations on the value of its U.S. dollar cash flows and to reduce the variability of certain cash flows at the subsidiary level. The Company actively manages certain forecasted foreign currency exposures and uses a centralized currency management operation to take advantage of potential opportunities to naturally offset foreign currency exposures. The Company utilizes foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to the Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso. The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts, with maturities through December 2025, met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges during the periods presented.

The Company mitigates its interest rate risk by managing its exposure to fixed and variable rates while attempting to optimize its interest costs. The Company enters into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable interest rate payments for the Term Loan Facility. In connection with these contracts, the Company pays interest based upon a fixed rate and receives variable rate interest payments based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined. These contracts, with maturities through February 2026, met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges during the periods presented.

Commodity hedging contracts are entered into in order to manage fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials that are integrated into the Company’s end products. The Company's commodity contracts, with maturities of less than one year, met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges during the periods presented.

The notional and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges were as follows (in millions):


	June 30, 2024						December 31, 2023
	Notional Value (in U.S. Dollars)		Fair Value — Assets		Fair Value — Liabilities		Notional Value (in U.S. Dollars)		Fair Value — Assets		Fair Value — Liabilities

Note 11. Segment Reporting

The Company’s reportable segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting and are comprised of various product offerings that serve multiple end markets. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. The internal reporting of these operating segments is based, in part, on the reporting and review process used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company has three operating segments: 1) Off Road, 2) On Road, and 3) Marine, which are all reportable segments. The Corporate amounts include costs that are not allocated to segments, including certain unallocated manufacturing costs and the impacts from certain foreign currency transactions.

Item 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion pertains to the results of operations and financial position of Polaris Inc., a Delaware corporation, for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three and six month period ended June 30, 2023. The terms “Polaris,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” as used herein refer to the business and operations of Polaris Inc., its subsidiaries and its predecessors, which began doing business in 1954. We design, engineer, manufacture and market powersports vehicles which include: off-road vehicles (“ORV”), including all-terrain vehicles (“ATV”) and side-by-side vehicles; military and commercial ORVs; snowmobiles; motorcycles; moto-roadsters; quadricycles; and boats. We also design and manufacture or source parts, garments and accessories (“PG&A”), which includes aftermarket accessories and apparel. Due to the seasonal trends for certain products and certain changes in production and shipping cycles, results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the complete year. Unless otherwise noted, all “quarter” comparisons are from the second quarter of 2024 to the second quarter of 2023 and all “year-to-date” comparisons are from the six month period ended June 30, 2024 to the six month period ended June 30, 2023. Estimates related to industry retail sales are unaudited and based on internally-generated management estimates, including estimates based on extrapolations from third-party surveys of the industries in which we compete, and are subject to change.

Overview

Second quarter sales totaled $1,961.2 million, a decrease of 12 percent from last year’s second quarter sales of $2,216.6 million. The decrease in sales for the quarter was primarily due to decreased shipments in all segments and lower net pricing driven by higher promotional costs, partially offset by product mix.

Our gross profit of $424.0 million decreased 16 percent from $505.0 million in the comparable prior year second quarter. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased primarily due to lower net pricing driven by higher promotional costs and decreased leverage of fixed costs as a result of reduced sales volumes. This decrease was partially offset by favorable operational costs.

Net income attributable to Polaris was $68.7 million, or $1.21 per diluted share, compared to 2023 second quarter net income attributable to Polaris of $134.3 million, or $2.32 per diluted share. These decreases were primarily the result of decreased shipments in all segments and lower net pricing driven by higher promotional costs. We reported second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $198.1 million, compared to 2023 second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $265.5 million. For information on how we define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA, and a reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Sales:

The decrease in sales for the quarter and year-to-date periods was due to decreased shipments and lower net pricing driven by higher promotional costs, partially offset by product mix.

The components of the consolidated sales change were as follows:


	Percent change in total Company sales compared to corresponding period of the prior year
	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 30, 2024		June 30, 2024
Volume	(15)	%	(20)	%
Product mix and price	3		4
Currency	—		—
	(12)	%	(16)	%

The volume decrease for the quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily the result of decreased shipments in all segments. Product mix and price for the quarter and year-to-date periods were favorable as a result of a higher sales mix of ORVs, partially offset by lower net pricing driven by higher promotional costs.

Sales by geographic region were as follows:

Sales in the United States decreased during the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily as a result of lower shipments in all segments.

Sales in Canada decreased during the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily as a result of decreased snowmobile shipments. Currency rate movements had an unfavorable impact of two percentage points on quarter sales and an unfavorable impact of one percentage point on year-to-date sales.

Sales in other countries decreased during the quarter and year-to-dates periods, primarily as a result of lower ORV, motorcycle, and snowmobile shipments. Currency rate movements had an unfavorable impact of one percentage point on quarter sales and no impact on year-to-date sales.

Cost of sales decreased during the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily as a result of reduced sales volumes driving lower purchased materials and decreased labor costs.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit for the quarter and year-to-date periods, as a percentage of sales, decreased primarily due to lower net pricing driven by higher promotional costs, decreased leverage of fixed costs as a result of reduced sales volumes, and higher finance interest. This decrease was partially offset by favorable operational costs.

Operating Expenses:

Operating expenses for the quarter, in absolute dollars, increased slightly due to higher general and administrative expenses, mostly offset by reduced research and development expenses. Operating expenses for the year-to-date period, in absolute dollars, decreased due to lower research and development and selling and marketing expenses, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods due to decreased leverage of fixed costs as a result of reduced sales volumes.

Income from Financial Services:

Income from financial services increased for the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to higher wholesale financing income from Polaris Acceptance driven by higher dealer inventory levels.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense increased for the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily as a result of higher interest rates.

Other income, net:

Other income is primarily the result of currency exchange rate movements and the corresponding effects on currency transactions related to our international subsidiaries.

Provision for income taxes:

The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the quarter was primarily due to favorable impacts related to research and development credits on lower pre-tax income.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the year-to-date period was primarily due to the increased impact of unfavorable share-based compensation adjustments, partially offset by favorable impacts related to research and development credits on lower pre-tax income.

Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA, in absolute dollars and as a percentage of sales, decreased during the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily as a result of decreased shipments and lower net pricing driven by higher promotional costs. These decreases were partially offset by favorable operational costs and product mix.

Table of Contents

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding:

Over the time period within and between the comparable periods, weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased compared to the comparable prior year periods, primarily due to share repurchases.

Cash Dividends:

We paid a regular cash dividend of $0.66 per common share on June 17, 2024 to holders of record at the close of business on June 3, 2024. We paid aggregate cash dividends of $1.32 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income, excluding interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-cash, non-recurring, or non-operating items impacting net income from time to time. For example, costs associated with certain corporate restructuring activities, such as acquisitions and divestitures, are included as non-GAAP adjustments. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net sales. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

We believe that these measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods presented:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash provided by operating and financing activities, including funds as needed from our credit facility and issuances of long-term debt. Our primary uses of funds have been for new product development, capital investments, cash dividends to shareholders, repurchases and retirements of common stock and acquisitions. The seasonality of production and shipments cause working capital requirements to fluctuate during the year and from year to year.

We believe that existing cash balances and cash flows to be generated from operating activities, borrowing capacity under our credit facility and from future issuances or borrowings of long-term debt, will be sufficient to fund operations, new product development, cash dividends to shareholders, repurchases and retirement of common stock, and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:


($ in millions)	Six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		Change
Total cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	40.9	$	347.9	$	(307.0)
Investing activities	(165.8)		(190.1)		24.3
Financing activities	87.4		(150.2)		237.6

Operating Activities:

The decrease in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to lower net income and increased working capital additions.

Investing Activities:

The primary sources and uses of cash were for the purchase of property, equipment and tooling for continued capacity and capability at our manufacturing, distribution, and product development facilities, and distributions from and contributions to Polaris Acceptance. Net cash used for investing activities decreased due to a reduction in property, equipment and tooling purchases, as well as increased distributions from Polaris Acceptance. These decreases were partially offset by strategic investments in the current year.

Financing Activities:

The increase in net cash from financing activities was primarily due to increased net borrowings under debt arrangements and lower share repurchases, partially offset by reduced proceeds from stock issuances under employee plans. Net borrowings totaled $239.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.0 million of net borrowings for the comparable period in 2023.

Financing Arrangements:

We are party to an unsecured Master Note Purchase Agreement, as amended and supplemented, under which we have issued senior notes. As of June 30, 2024, outstanding borrowings under the Master Note Purchase Agreement totaled $350.0 million.

We are also party to an unsecured credit facility, which includes a $1.0 billion variable interest rate Revolving Loan Facility that matures in June 2026, under which we have unsecured borrowings. As of June 30, 2024, there were borrowings of $487.5 million outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility. Our credit facility also includes a Term Loan Facility, on which $756.0 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2024. We are required to make principal payments under the Term Loan Facility totaling $45 million over the next 12 months. For the credit facility, interest is charged at rates based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined. As of June 30, 2024, we had $505.0 million of availability on the Revolving Loan Facility.

In November 2023, we amended the credit facility to terminate all guarantees provided by our subsidiaries under the credit facility, remove the requirement for our subsidiaries to provide guarantees of the obligations under the credit facility, and remove certain of our subsidiaries as co-borrowers.

Table of Contents

The agreements governing the facility and the Master Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The agreements also require the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 on a rolling four quarter basis.

In November 2023, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.95% Senior Notes pursuant to a public offering. We received approximately $492 million in net proceeds from the notes offering after deducting the underwriting discount and other fees and expenses. The notes bear interest at a rate of 6.95% per year, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears in March and September of each year. The notes mature in March of 2029. The indenture governing the notes is subject to customary covenants and make-whole provisions upon early termination.

On July 2, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 29, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Boat Holdings, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana which manufactures boats (“Boat Holdings”). As a component of the Boat Holdings merger agreement, we have committed to make a series of deferred payments to the former owners through July 2030. The original discounted payable was for $76.7 million, of which $49.4 million was outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all debt covenants and our debt to total capital ratio was 62 percent. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024, we had letters of credit outstanding of $35.9 million, primarily related to purchase obligations for raw materials.

Share Repurchases:

We repurchased a total of approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock for $82.3 million during the first six months of 2024, which had a favorable impact of one cent on diluted net income per share. As of June 30, 2024, our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $1,109.3 million of our common stock.

Wholesale Customer Financing Arrangements:

We have arrangements with certain finance companies to provide secured floor plan financing for our dealers. These arrangements provide liquidity by financing dealer purchases of our products without the use of our working capital. A majority of the worldwide sales of snowmobiles, ORVs, motorcycles, boats and related PG&A are financed under similar arrangements whereby we receive payment within a few days of shipment of the product. We participate in the cost of dealer financing up to certain limits.

Under these arrangements, we have agreed to repurchase products repossessed by these finance companies. As of June 30, 2024, the potential aggregate repurchase obligations were approximately $518.0 million. Our financial exposure under these repurchase agreements is limited to the difference between the amounts unpaid by the dealer with respect to the repossessed product plus costs of repossession and the amount received on the resale of the repossessed product. No material losses have been incurred under these agreements during the periods presented.

Retail Customer Financing Arrangements:

We have agreements with third-party financing companies to provide financing options to end consumers of our products. We have no material contingent liabilities for residual value or credit collection risk under these agreements.

Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This report contains not only historical information, but also “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These “forward-looking statements” can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as we or our management “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives or goals, such as future sales, future cash flows and capital requirements, operational initiatives, supply chain, tariffs, currency fluctuations, interest rates, and commodity costs, are forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements, are also forward-looking. Forward-looking statements may also be made from time to time in oral presentations, including telephone conferences and/or webcasts open to the public.

Table of Contents

Potential risks and uncertainties include such factors as the Company’s ability to successfully implement its manufacturing operations strategy and supply chain initiatives; the Company’s ability to successfully source necessary parts and materials on a timely basis; the ability of the Company to manufacture and deliver products to dealers to meet demand, including as a result of supply chain disruptions; the Company’s ability to identify and meet optimal dealer inventory levels; the Company’s ability to accurately forecast and sustain consumer demand; the Company’s ability to mitigate increasing input costs through pricing or other measures; product offerings, promotional activities and pricing strategies by competitors that may make our products less attractive to consumers; the Company’s ability to strategically invest in innovation and new products, including as compared to our competitors; economic conditions that impact consumer spending or consumer credit, including recessionary conditions and changes in interest rates; disruptions in manufacturing facilities; product recalls and/or warranty expenses; product rework costs; impact of changes in Polaris stock price on incentive compensation plan costs; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; environmental and product safety regulatory activity; effects of weather on the Company’s supply chain, manufacturing operations and consumer demand; commodity costs; freight and tariff costs (tariff relief or ability to mitigate tariffs); changes to international trade policies and agreements; uninsured product liability and class action claims (including claims seeking punitive damages) and other litigation expenses incurred due to the nature of our business; uncertainty in the consumer retail and wholesale credit markets; performance of affiliate partners; changes in tax policy; relationships with dealers and suppliers; and the general global economic, social and political environment.

The risks and uncertainties discussed in this report are not exclusive and other factors that we may consider immaterial or do not anticipate may emerge as significant risks and uncertainties.

Any forward-looking statements made in this report or otherwise speak only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements. We advise you, however, to consult any further disclosures made on related subjects in future Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a complete discussion on the Company’s market risk. There have been no material changes in market risk from those disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Refer below for further discussion on commodity cost risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk.

Inflation:

We are subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials, including steel, aluminum, copper, petroleum-based resins, certain rare earth metals and diesel fuel. In addition, we are a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, rubber and others, which are integrated into our end products. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials are subject to price fluctuations. We generally buy these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. We enter into commodity hedging contracts in order to manage fluctuating market prices of certain commodities such as steel and diesel fuel. Based on our current outlook for commodity prices, the total impact of commodities is expected to have a favorable impact on our gross profit margins for full-year 2024 when compared to 2023.

Foreign Exchange Rates:

The changing relationships of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies can have a material impact on our financial results.

Euro: We have operations in the Eurozone through wholly owned subsidiaries and distributors. We also purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in Euros. Fluctuations in the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate impacts sales, cost of sales and net income.

Canadian Dollar: We operate in Canada through a wholly owned subsidiary. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar impacts sales, cost of sales and net income.

Other currencies: We operate in various countries, principally in Europe, Mexico and Australia, through wholly owned subsidiaries. We also sell to certain distributors in other countries and purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in these foreign currencies. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to these other currencies impacts sales, cost of sales and net income.

Table of Contents

We actively manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates by entering into foreign exchange hedging contracts. A portion of our foreign currency exposure is mitigated with the following open foreign currency hedging contracts as of June 30, 2024:

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, after consideration of the existing foreign currency hedging contracts, foreign currencies had a neutral impact on net income compared to 2023. We expect currencies to have a negative impact on full-year net income in 2024 compared to 2023.

The assets and liabilities in all of our international entities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and expenses in all of our international entities are translated at the average foreign exchange rate in effect for each month of the year. Certain assets and liabilities related to intercompany positions reported on our consolidated balance sheets that are denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency are translated at the foreign exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the associated gains and losses are included in net income.

Interest Rates:

We are a party to an unsecured credit facility with various lenders consisting of a $1.0 billion Revolving Loan Facility and a $1.2 billion Term Loan Facility. Interest accrues on the revolving loan and term loans at variable rates based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined. As of June 30, 2024, there was $487.5 million outstanding on the Revolving Loan Facility and $756.0 million outstanding on the Term Loan Facility. We enter into interest rate swaps in order to manage our exposure to fixed and variable interest rates associated with our debt. We expect interest rates to have a negative impact on full-year net income in 2024 compared to 2023.

Borrowings pursuant to our private senior notes and public senior notes bear interest at fixed rates. We are subject to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings as a result of potential changes in prevailing interest rates. Changes in the fair value of fixed-rate borrowings have no impact on the amount of interest incurred, cash flows or our financial position.

Item 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the latest fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved in a number of legal proceedings incidental to our business, none of which is presently expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, or the financial results of our business.

As of the date hereof, we are party to certain putative class actions brought by the same plaintiff’s counsel and largely repeating the same allegations regarding various state consumer protection laws focused on rollover protection structures’ certifications for various Polaris off-road vehicles sold in California. The first case brought in federal court in California related to this matter—Guzman/Albright—was first reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The district court granted summary judgment against both plaintiffs’ claims, which the plaintiffs appealed. The Ninth Circuit issued two rulings in September 2022 that reversed the district court’s summary judgment rulings and remanded the case to the district court with instructions to dismiss one plaintiff’s claims without prejudice. The plaintiff whose claims were dismissed without prejudice refiled the putative class action in California State Court under the name Albright. In June 2023, the Albright court granted the parties’ stipulation to stay that case pending a decision on class certification in federal court in the Guzman case. On September 27, 2023, the district court in Guzman entered an order granting in part and denying in part plaintiff’s motion for class certification. The district court certified a California class for plaintiff’s claim seeking money damages under the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act but denied class certification on plaintiff’s claim seeking injunctive relief under Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(b)(2). On October 11, 2023, Polaris filed a petition to appeal the portion of the district court’s order granting class certification. On December 14, 2023, the Ninth Circuit denied Polaris’s petition. On June 27, 2024, the state court in Albright entered an order setting a hearing for December 20, 2024 to review the stay of proceedings in that case. The Guzman case is set for trial beginning on February 25, 2025. Plaintiff’s counsel’s related case—Hellman/Berlanga—was first reported in the Company’s quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 2021. Since then, the Hellman plaintiff has been dismissed and, in May 2023, the remaining plaintiff in the Berlanga case filed a motion for class certification, which we opposed. On July 16, 2024, the federal district court entered an order granting in part and denying in part plaintiff’s motion for class certification. The district court certified a California class for plaintiff’s claim seeking money damages but denied class certification on plaintiff’s claim seeking injunctive relief.

With respect to each of the aforementioned putative class action lawsuits, we are unable to provide any reasonable evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or any reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss.

As previously reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, the parties in James DeBiasio v. Polaris Industries Inc. (C.D. Cal.) reached an agreement to confidentially resolve plaintiff’s claims on an individual basis. That settlement is now final and on April 26, 2024, the parties filed a joint stipulation to dismiss the case with prejudice. The settlement was not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Item 1A – RISK FACTORS

Please consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in such report which could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, or future results.

POLARIS INC.

DEFERRED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS DEFERRED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated April 25, 2024, is between Polaris Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and _______________, a director of the Company (the “Director”).

The Company maintains the Polaris Inc. 2024 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Agreement. The Board of Directors has determined to grant the Award set forth in this Agreement to the Director pursuant to Article 5 of the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall, unless defined elsewhere in this Agreement, have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Plan.

1.Deferred Stock Unit Award. In consideration of the Director's services to the Company and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company shall, effective on the date set forth set forth above, grant to the Director a number of shares of deferred stock units (the “Units”) equal to the value of [$150,000] divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) on the New York Stock Exchange on April 25, 2024. Each Unit represents the right to receive one Share of the Company’s Common Stock. The Units granted to the Director will be credited to an account in the Director’s name maintained by the Company (the “Account”). This Account shall be unfunded and maintained for book-keeping purposes only. The number of Units subject to this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 4.6 of the Plan.

2.Vesting.

The Award is 100% fully and immediately vested on the date of this Agreement.

3. Dividend Equivalents.

In the event of any dividend payable in cash with respect to the Company’s outstanding Shares, the Company will credit to the Director’s Account, as of the dividend payment date, a number of additional Units (the “Dividend Units”). The number of Dividend Units so credited as of any dividend payment date will be equal to (a) the total cash dividends the Director would have received on that dividend payment date if the Director’s outstanding Units as of the record date for such dividend payment (including any previously credited Dividend Units) had been actual Shares, divided by (b) the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date (with the quotient rounded to three decimal places). Once credited to the Director’s Account, Dividend Units will be considered Units for all purposes of this Agreement.

4. Payment of Units.

Subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Director one Share in payment and settlement of each whole Unit credited to the Director’s Account as soon as practicable following the earlier to occur of (a) the Director’s separation from service with the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) and (b) a transaction or event that is a “Change of Control” within the meaning of Section 2.7 of the Plan (determined without regard to whether any designation may have been made by the Incumbent Directors under Section 2.7(b)), after giving effect to the final sentence of Section 2.7. In accordance with Section 19.12 of the Plan, no fractional Share shall be issuable to the Director, and the Unit balance in the Director’s Account shall be rounded to the next lower whole Unit for purposes of payment and settlement. Delivery of Shares in payment and settlement of Units shall be effected by an appropriate entry in the stock register maintained by the Company’s transfer agent with a notice of issuance provided to the Director, by the issuance of a certificate to the Director representing such Shares or by the electronic delivery of the Shares to a brokerage account designated by the Director. In no event shall the Shares be issued later than the later of December 31 of the calendar year in which the event giving rise to the issuance of the Shares occurs or the 15th day of the third calendar month following the event giving rise to the issuance of the Shares.

5. Other Provisions.

(a) Restrictions on Shares. Upon issuance in settlement of Units in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Shares shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange and any applicable state or foreign securities laws, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be endorsed on any stock certificates for such shares making appropriate references to such legal restrictions.

(b) Transferability of Units. The Units subject to this Agreement may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged or encumbered other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Such Units shall not be subject, in whole or in part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer of such Units in violation of this Paragraph 5(b) or Section 12.1 of the Plan shall be null and void.

(c) Conflict with Plan. The Award and this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control over this Agreement.

(d) Shares to Be Reserved. The Company shall at all times prior to the issuance of Shares as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to pay and settle the Units on the date set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be unfunded and unsecured, and no special or separate fund shall be established and no other segregation of assets shall be made and the Director shall have no greater rights than an unsecured general creditor of the Company. The Director shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Company by virtue of any Shares issuable in settlement of Units unless and until such Shares are actually issued to the Director.

(e) Headings. Headings in this Agreement are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

(f) Construction. This Agreement shall be administered, interpreted, and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof.

(g) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be fully severable, but shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never been included herein.

(h) Conformity to Securities Laws. The Director acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act, and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, including, without limitation, the applicable exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Plan and this Agreement shall be administered, and the Award is granted, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

(i) Electronic Delivery and Electronic Signature. The Director hereby consents and agrees to electronic delivery of this Agreement, the Plan, the Plan Information Statement, proxy materials, annual reports, and other related documents. If the Company establishes procedures for an electronic signature system for delivery and acceptance of such documents (including documents relating to any programs adopted under the Plan), the Director hereby consents to such procedures and agrees that his or her electronic signature is the same as, and shall have the same force and effect as, his or her manual signature. The Director consents and agrees that any such procedures and delivery may be effected by a third party engaged by the Company to provide administrative services related to the Plan, including any program adopted under the Plan.

(j) Amendments. This Agreement and the Plan may be amended without the consent of the Director if such amendment would not adversely affect in any material way any rights of the Director under this Agreement, or if such amendment is adopted in accordance with Section 15.4 of the Plan. Except as provided in Section 15.4 of the Plan, no amendment of this Agreement shall, without the consent of the Director, adversely affect in any material way any rights of the Director under this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Director and the Company have executed this Agreement on the date set forth above.
