The Company has three reportable segments: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC), LiveWire, and Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS). The Company's reportable segments, which are discussed in greater detail below, are strategic business units that offer different products and services and are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

Strategy
(1)
The Hardwire was the Company's 2021-2025 strategic plan which targeted long-term profitable growth, including enhancing the Company's position as the most desirable motorcycle brand in the world and driving value for its shareholders. The Hardwire strategic priorities included a focus on its most profitable motorcycle product segments, selective expansion into new and within existing product segments and markets, leading in the electric motorcycle market, growth beyond bikes into complementary businesses, enhancing the customer experience for riders and non-riders, and inclusive stakeholder management.
The Hardwire strategy concluded at the end of 2025. The Company plans to announce its new strategic plan in conjunction with its first quarter 2026 earnings release.

Motorcycles
– HDMC offers internal combustion engine motorcycles under the Harley-Davidson brand. The majority of HDMC's internal combustion engines have displacements that are greater than 600 cubic centimeters (cc) up to approximately 2,000cc's. Additionally, HDMC offers smaller-displacement Lightweight motorcycles in certain markets. HDMC markets its motorcycles in six categories that reflect customer needs and preferences and the Company's unique combination of product heritage and innovation. HDMC's product categories include: Grand American Touring, Trike, Cruiser, Sport, Lightweight, and Adventure Touring. The motorcycle industry uses the following motorcycle product segments:
•
Touring – emphasizes rider comfort and load capacity and incorporates features such as fairings and luggage compartments ideal for long rides, including the Company's Grand American Touring and Trike models
•
Dual Sport – designed primarily for off-highway recreational use with the capability for use on public roads
•
Adventure – designed primarily for on-highway use and capable of light-duty, off-highway riding, including the Company's Adventure Touring models
•
Cruiser – emphasizes styling, customization and casual riding, including the Company's Cruiser and Sport models
•
Standard – a basic motorcycle typically featuring upright seating for one or two passengers, including the Company's Lightweight models
•
Sportbike – incorporates racing technology and performance and aerodynamic styling and riding position
Competition in the motorcycle industry is based upon a number of factors, including product capabilities and features, styling, price, quality, reliability, warranty, availability of financing, and quality of the dealer networks that sell the products. The Company believes its Harley-Davidson motorcycles continue to generally command a premium price at retail relative to competitors’ motorcycles. Harley-Davidson motorcycles offer unique styling, customization, innovative design, distinctive sound, superior quality and reliability and include a warranty. HDMC also considers the availability of its line of motorcycle parts and accessories and apparel, the availability of financing through HDFS and its global network of dealers to be competitive advantages.
Industry data includes on-road motorcycles with internal combustion engines with displacements greater than 600cc's and electric motorcycles with kilowatt peak power equivalents greater than 600cc's. In 2025, approximately 79% of the total annual dealer retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles were sold in the U.S. and European 601+cc markets. Other

significant markets for HDMC, based on the HDMC's 2025 retail sales data, include Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and China.

Data includes on-road models with internal combustion engines with displacements greater than 600cc's and electric motorcycles with kilowatt (kW) peak power equivalents greater than 600cc's (601+cc). On-road 601+cc models include dual purpose models, three-wheeled motorcycles and autocycles.
(b)
New motorcycle registrations for the industry and Harley-Davidson are provided by or derived from third-party sources. New motorcycle registrations include consumer registrations (retail registrations) and to a lesser extent manufacturer, distributor and dealer registrations (non-retail registrations), for example, to register demonstration fleets. In the later part of 2024, manufacturers (including the Company), distributors and dealers registered some motorcycles in Europe through non-retail registrations to qualify the motorcycles under the new Euro 5+ emissions standard to allow for subsequent retail sale after December 31, 2024. This included approximately 3,700 non-retail registrations of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles in 2024, which in turn adversely impacted the number of new Harley-Davidson motorcycle registrations during 2025. While the Company believes industry registrations for Europe in 2024 were impacted in a similar manner, it does not have access to competitor information necessary to confirm this.

Regulation
– International, federal, state and local authorities have various environmental control requirements relating to air, water and noise that affect the business and operations of HDMC. HDMC strives to ensure that its facilities and products comply with all applicable environmental regulations and standards. In addition, climate change-related legislation and regulation could impact the Company and the actions it takes to respond to climate change concerns. The motorcycle industry is already subject to regulations worldwide that govern product characteristics and that differ by region, country, state or province and locality. Regulations continue to be proposed to address concerns regarding the environment, including global climate change and its impact. The precise implications of those actions, as well as future efforts, are uncertain.
HDMC’s motorcycles and certain other products that are sold in the U.S. are subject to certification by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for compliance with applicable emissions and noise standards.

Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS) Segment
HDFS is engaged in the business of financing and servicing wholesale inventory receivables and retail consumer loans, primarily for the purchase of Harley-Davidson and LiveWire motorcycles. HDFS also works with certain unaffiliated third parties to provide motorcycle insurance and voluntary protection products to motorcycle owners. HDFS conducts business principally in the U.S. and Canada. The dealers of HDMC as well as their retail customers in EMEA, Asia Pacific and Latin America generally have access to financing through third-party financial institutions, some of which have licensing agreements with HDFS.
Wholesale Financial Services
– HDFS provides wholesale financial services to the U.S. and Canadian independent dealers of HDMC and LiveWire, including floorplan and open account financing of motorcycles and parts and accessories. All of the U.S. and Canadian independent dealers of HDMC and all U.S. independent dealers of LiveWire utilized HDFS financing program
s at some point
during 2025.
Retail Financial Services
– HDFS provides retail financing to consumers, consisting primarily of installment lending for the purchase of new and used Harley-Davidson and LiveWire motorcycles. HDFS’s retail financial services are available through most of the dealerships of HDMC and LiveWire in the U.S. and Canada.

In addition, HDFS markets a comprehensive package of business insurance coverages and services provided by unaffiliated third parties to owners of independent HDMC and LiveWire dealerships.
Captive Reinsurance –
Eaglemark Insurance Company Ltd. (EICL) is a direct subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc. that reinsures several Harley-Davidson-branded voluntary protection products provided by unaffiliated third parties.
Licensing
–
HDFS has licensing arrangements with third-party financial institutions that issue credit cards bearing the Harley-Davidson brand in the U.S. and certain international markets. Internationally, HDFS licenses the Harley-Davidson brand to local third-party financial institutions that offer products to retail customers of HDMC such as financing, insurance, and voluntary protection products.
Funding
– The Company believes a diversified and cost-effective funding strategy is important to meet HDFS's goal of providing credit while delivering appropriate returns and profitability. HDFS operations in 2025 were funded with unsecured
8
debt, unsecured commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper conduit facilities, committed unsecured bank facilities, asset-backed securitizations, and brokered certificates of deposit that HDFS offers to customers indirectly through contractual arrangements with third-party banks and/or securities brokerage firms through its bank subsidiary. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company began to fund up to two-thirds of retail finance originations through the sale of retail loan originations to two counterparties as a part of a 2025 transaction related to HDFS.
Competition
– The Company regards the ability of HDFS to offer a package of wholesale and retail financial services in the U.S. and Canada as a significant competitive advantage. Competitors in the financial services industry compete for business based largely on price and, to a lesser extent, service. HDFS competes on convenience, service, brand association, dealer relations, industry experience, terms, and price.
In the U.S. and Canada, HDFS financed 68.4% and 20.7% of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles retailed by dealers during 2025, respectively, compared to 70.6% and 26.2%, respectively, during 2024. Competitors for retail motorcycle finance business are primarily banks, credit unions and other financial institutions. In the motorcycle insurance business, competition primarily comes from national insurance companies and from insurance agencies serving local or regional markets. For insurance and voluntary protection products, HDFS faces competition from certain regional and national industry participants as well as dealer in-house programs. Competition for the wholesale motorcycle finance business primarily consists of banks and other financial institutions providing wholesale financing to dealers in their local markets.
Trademarks
– HDFS uses various trademarks and trade names for its financial services and products, which are licensed from Harley-Davidson Motor Company, Inc., including HARLEY-DAVIDSON, H-D and the Bar & Shield Logo.
Seasonality
– HDFS experiences seasonal variations in retail financing activities based on the timing of regional riding seasons in the U.S. and Canada. In general, from mid-March through August, retail financing volume is greatest. HDFS wholesale financing volume is affected by inventory levels at dealers. Dealers generally have higher inventory in the first half of the year. As a result, outstanding wholesale finance receivables are generally higher during the same period.
Regulation
– HDFS operations are generally subject to supervision and regulation by federal and state administrative agencies and various foreign governmental authorities. Many of the requirements imposed by such entities are in place to provide consumer protection as it pertains to the selling and servicing of financial products and services. Therefore, HDFS operations may be subject to limitations imposed by regulations, laws and judicial and/or administrative decisions. In the U.S., for example, applicable laws include the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the unfair, deceptive and abusive practices (UDAAP) provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the consumer data privacy and security provisions of the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act.
Depending on the specific facts and circumstances involved, non-compliance with these laws may limit the ability of HDFS to collect all or part of the principal or interest on applicable loans, entitling the borrower to rescind the loan or to obtain a refund of amounts previously paid, or could subject HDFS to the payment of damages or penalties and administrative sanctions, including “cease and desist” orders, and could limit the number of loans eligible for HDFS's asset-backed financing programs.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the Bureau) has significant supervisory, enforcement and rule-making authority in the area of consumer financial products and services. Certain actions and regulations of the Bureau will directly impact HDFS and its operations. For example, the Bureau has supervisory authority over non-bank larger participants in the vehicle financing market, which includes a non-bank subsidiary of HDFS.
Such regulatory requirements and associated supervision also could limit the discretion of HDFS in operating its business. Noncompliance with applicable statutes or regulations could result in the suspension or revocation of any charter, license or registration at issue, as well as the imposition of civil fines, criminal penalties and administrative sanctions.
Eaglemark Savings Bank (ESB), a subsidiary of HDFS, is a Nevada state thrift chartered as an Industrial Loan Company. The activities of ESB are governed by federal laws and regulations and State of Nevada banking laws. ESB is subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Nevada state bank examiners. ESB originates retail loans, retains certain of those loans and sells the remaining loans to a non-banking subsidiary of HDFS. This process allows HDFS to offer retail products with many common characteristics across the U.S. and to similarly service loans to U.S. retail customers.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in Harley-Davidson, Inc. involves risks, including those discussed below. These risk factors should be considered carefully before deciding whether to invest in the Company.
Operational Risks
•
The Company’s ability to remain competitive is dependent upon its capability to develop and successfully introduce new, innovative and compliant products while maintaining its ability to command a premium price relative to its competitors' motorcycles.
The motorcycle market is highly competitive and continues to change in terms of styling preferences and advances in new technologies and, at the same time, is subject to increasing and evolving regulations, including those related to safety and emissions. Price, reliability, styling, quality, product features and engine displacement are some of the factors that impact competition in the motorcycle market. The importance customers place on these and other factors may vary by market location. Thus, the Company must continue to make product advancements and product portfolio decisions to respond to changing consumer preferences, market demands, and legal and regulatory requirements, and distinguish its products from its competitors’ products in the relevant markets. Introducing new products and motorcycle models may not lead to the desired results, including driving profitable unit sales growth. As the Company incorporates new and different features and technology into its products, the Company must also protect its intellectual property from imitators. In addition, these new products must comply with applicable regulations in the markets in which they are sold and satisfy the potential demand for products that produce lower emissions and achieve better fuel economy. The Company must also be able to design and manufacture these products in a cost-efficient manner and deliver them to various markets globally. The Company’s global manufacturing footprint is a significant factor in its ability to deliver its products globally in a cost-efficient manner; however, ongoing geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and logistics issues arising from regional conflicts may impede the Company’s ability to make strategic production decisions, including managing the production mix in response to factors such as raw material shortages, workforce constraints, supplier shutdowns, and other challenges that could affect pricing. Further, the Company may take pricing actions , which have included and may continue to include introducing incentives, to make prices more attractive to customers in the relevant markets. This may impact the Company's long-term ability to command a premium price relative to its competitors, and there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful.
•
The Company faces increasing competition and failure to compete effectively may adversely impact its business and operating results.
Many of the Company’s competitors are more diversified than the Company, and they may compete in all or many segments of the motorcycle market, other powersports markets and/or the automotive
11
market. Also, the Company’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price for its motorcycles is generally higher than its competitors. If price becomes a more important factor for consumers in the markets in which the Company competes, the Company may be at a competitive disadvantage. The Company also faces pricing pressure from international competitors who may have the advantage of manufacturing and marketing products in their respective countries, allowing them to sell products at lower prices within or outside of their respective countries. Furthermore, many competitors headquartered outside the U.S. experience a financial benefit when there is a strengthening in the U.S. dollar relative to their home currency that can enable them to reduce prices to U.S. consumers. The Company and LiveWire Group, Inc. are also subject to policies and actions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Many major competitors of the Company and LiveWire Group, Inc. are not subject to the requirements of the SEC or the NYSE rules. As a result, the Company or LiveWire Group, Inc. may be required to disclose certain information that may put the Company or LiveWire Group, Inc. at a competitive disadvantage to their principal competitors. Additionally, the Company’s LiveWire segment is subject to competition in the electric vehicle sector from companies that are at various levels of maturity, which include several major motorcycle companies that have electric vehicles available today and other current and prospective motorcycle manufacturers that may be developing electric vehicles. Increased competition or failure of the electric vehicle market to develop may lead to lower vehicle unit sales and increased inventory, which may result in downward price pressure and adversely affect the business, prospects, financial condition and operating results of the LiveWire segment. As a result of new entrants into the electric vehicle market, there may be increased competition for component and other parts of LiveWire’s electric vehicles, which may have limited or single-source supply, or suppliers may be unwilling to provide product at lower volumes. In addition, the Harley-Davidson Financial Services segment faces competition from various banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions that may have access to additional sources of capital at more competitive rates and terms, particularly for borrowers in higher credit tiers. The Company's responses to these competitive pressures, or its failure to adequately address and respond to these competitive pressures, may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.
•
The Company relies on its suppliers to obtain raw materials and provide component parts for use in the manufacture of its motorcycles and products.
Inflationary pressures, including on manufacturing, and the availability of components and raw materials, such as rare earth elements, or instability in logistics, including the escalating tensions between the U.S. and foreign leaders regarding the Panama Canal, and related costs may negatively impact the Company's profitability. The Company may experience supply problems relating to raw materials and components, such as component shortages, unfavorable pricing, poor quality, termination of supply of some of the Company's components or untimely delivery. The prices for these raw materials and components may fluctuate depending on market conditions, which include inflation of raw material costs, exchange rate fluctuations, commodity market volatility, tariffs, embargoes, sanctions, trade policies, and other trade restrictions. In certain circumstances, the Company relies on a single supplier to provide component parts or a contract manufacturer to manufacture certain components and/or products, and a change or disruption in these established relationships may cause disruption in the Company’s production schedule. In addition, the price and availability of raw materials and component parts from suppliers can be adversely affected by factors outside of the Company’s control, such as the supply of a necessary raw material, capacity constraints, labor shortages or disputes, natural disasters, extreme weather events, pandemics (like COVID-19), epidemics or other public health crises, trade and shipping disruptions, fluctuating costs of ocean freight, wars and trade policies. Further, the Company's suppliers and contract manufacturers may experience difficulty in funding their day-to-day cash flow needs because of tightening credit caused by financial market disruption. In addition, adverse economic conditions and related pressure on select suppliers or contract manufacturers due to difficulties in global manufacturing could adversely affect their ability to supply the Company. For example, one of the Company's suppliers, First Brands Group, LLC - a leading automotive parts provider - filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in September 2025 and has recently relied on the support of its customers as it works through various funding challenges. The Company had to work to mitigate potential negative effects on its supply chain due to this issue. The unavailability of any component or supplier or contract manufacturer could result in production delays and/or product design changes and impact the Company’s ability to fulfill orders. Changes in laws and policies relating to trade and taxation may also adversely impact the Company's foreign suppliers or contract manufacturers. Natural disasters, extreme weather, epidemics, or health crises at supplier or contract manufacturer locations may disrupt supply to the Company. These supplier risks may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations. Such disruptions have resulted in and could further result in manufacturing inefficiencies due to the delay in delivering components for production or having to find alternative components due to lack of availability and could place the Company in an uncompetitive position resulting in a material adverse effect on its operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.

Increased supply of and/or declining prices for used motorcycles and excess supply of new motorcycles may adversely impact retail sales of new motorcycles by the Company's dealers.
The Company has observed that when the supply of used motorcycles increases or the prices for used Harley-Davidson motorcycles decline, there can be reduced demand among retail purchasers for new Harley-Davidson motorcycles at or near manufacturer’s suggested retail prices. Further, the Company and its dealers can and do take actions that influence the markets for new and used Harley-Davidson motorcycles. For example, introduction of new motorcycle models with significantly different styling, design, functionality, technology or other customer satisfiers can result in increased supply of used motorcycles, which could result in declining prices for used motorcycles and prior model-year new motorcycles. Also, the Company’s approach to supply and inventory management may not be effective, or the Company’s competitors could choose to supply new motorcycles to the market in excess of demand at reduced prices, which could also have the effect of reducing demand for new Harley-Davidson motorcycles at or near manufacturer’s suggested retail prices. Reduced demand among retail purchasers for new Harley-Davidson motorcycles leads to reduced shipments by the Company and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.
•
The Company must prevent and detect issues with its products, components purchased from suppliers, and the related manufacturing processes to reduce recall campaigns, warranty costs, litigation, product liability claims, delays in new model launches, disruptions in production and/or shipment, and regulatory investigations and fines.
The Company must continually improve and adhere to appropriate product development and manufacturing processes and ensure that its suppliers, contract manufacturers, and their sub-tier suppliers adhere to appropriate product development and manufacturing processes, to ensure the Company and its dealers are selling high-quality products that meet customer needs and desires and comply with applicable regulations. If product designs or manufacturing processes are defective, the Company could experience delays in new model launches, disruptions in production, delays in shipment, field actions, such as product programs and product recalls, and inquiries or investigations from regulatory agencies, which could subject the Company to fines and penalties, and warranty claims and product liability claims, which may involve purported class actions or significant jury verdicts. For example, during the second quarter of 2022, the Company suspended all vehicle assembly and shipments for approximately two weeks due to a regulatory compliance matter relating to a Tier 2 supplier’s brake hose assemblies. In June 2023, the same Tier 2 supplier notified the Company that it was investigating a new, separate quality issue with brake hose assemblies produced by the Tier 2 supplier 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. Both the Tier 2 supplier and the Company leveraged NHTSA’s standard process to petition the agency for a determination that both of the potential non-compliances are inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. If NHTSA makes the inconsequentiality determinations requested, the Company will be exempt from conducting a field action or a recall of its motorcycles related to these matters. The Company expects that NHTSA will make the inconsequentiality determinations; however, it is possible that a recall or field action could be required that could cause the Company to incur material costs. Any future product recall, whether initiated by the Company, a supplier, or a contract manufacturer, may lead to negative publicity, harm the Company’s brand image, and negatively impact its business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results. Recalls arising from systems or components engineered or manufactured by any of these parties may also result in considerable expenses, potential litigation, and diversion of management attention and other resources, all of which could further affect the Company’s brand and overall performance. While the Company uses reasonable methods to estimate the cost of warranty, recall and product liabilities, and appropriately reflects those in its financial statements, there is a risk the actual costs could exceed estimates and result in damages that are not covered by insurance. Further, selling products with quality issues, the announcement of recalls and the filing of product liability claims (whether or not successful), may also adversely affect the reputation and brand strength of the Company with a resulting adverse impact on sales.
•
The Company primarily sells its products at wholesale and must rely to a large extent on a network of independent dealers and distributors to manage the retail distribution of its products.
The Company depends on the capability of its independent distributors and dealers to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand among retail purchasers for the motorcycles and related products and services that the dealers purchase from the Company. If the Company’s distributors and dealers are not successful in these endeavors, or do not appropriately adapt to the evolving retail landscape and effectively implement successful retail strategies, then the Company may be unable to maintain or grow its revenues and meet its financial expectations. There is no assurance that the Company's dealers' or distributors' retail strategies will be successful. Additionally, distributors and dealers may experience difficulty in funding their day-to-day cash flow needs and paying their obligations resulting from adverse business conditions, such as weakened retail sales and tightened credit. If distributors and dealers are unsuccessful or unprofitable, they may exit or be forced to exit their business or, in some cases, the Company may seek to terminate relationships with certain distributors and dealers, leading to a reduction in the number of distributors or
13
dealers. The departure of dealers could also affect the LiveWire segment, since selling electric motorcycles directly to retail customers through the independent dealer network is a main sales channel. The Company could face lawsuits and additional adverse consequences related to the termination of its independent distributor and dealer relationships. Additionally, liquidating a former distributor’s or dealer’s inventory of new and used motorcycles can add downward pressure on new and used motorcycle prices which may cause adverse consequences for the remaining distributor and dealer network. Further, the unplanned loss of any of the Company’s independent distributors or dealers may lead to inadequate market coverage for retail sales of new motorcycles and for servicing previously sold motorcycles, create negative impressions of the Company with its retail customers and adversely impact the Company’s ability to collect wholesale receivables from that dealer. Finally, the Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of a dealer failure or inability to redistribute motorcycles that the Company has repossessed from a closing dealer or that a closing dealer has surrendered to the Company at invoice price through the Company’s subsidiary, HDFS.
•
A significant cybersecurity incident or data privacy breach could disrupt the Company’s information technology environment and data security infrastructure, impacting its business operations, and may adversely affect the Company’s reputation, revenue and earnings.
The Company utilizes information technology as a core component of its business operations. The security, availability, and integrity of its information technology environment and data security infrastructure are essential for the execution of specific business activities. Additionally, the Company relies on its ability to develop and continually update its information technology environment and related infrastructure in response to its changing business needs. The Company implements new and emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and necessary upgrades to these technologies while supporting its older technologies. The implementation of the new technologies and upgrades to technologies may not perform as expected. Additionally, as technologies age, they may become obsolete, potentially leading to performance problems and raising cybersecurity risks. Third-party service providers and vendors not under the direct control of the Company may provide and/or manage some of these technologies. The Company and certain of its third-party service providers and vendors receive, digitally store and transmit personal and other information in connection with the Company’s human resources operations, financial services operations, e-commerce, the Harley Owners Group, dealer management, mobile applications and other aspects of its business. The Company’s information technology environment and data security infrastructure, and those of its third-party service providers and vendors, are susceptible to continually evolving cybersecurity risks. Unauthorized parties engage in a regular practice of attempting to gain access to these environments and infrastructure, including the information the Company and its third-party service providers and vendors maintain on them or use, through fraud or other means of deception. Hardware or software the Company develops or obtains from third-parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, vulnerabilities, or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security and/or the Company’s operations. The methods used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems and networks are constantly evolving and may be difficult to anticipate or detect. Threat actors may also utilize new or emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence. The Company has implemented and regularly reviews and updates processes and procedures designed to protect against unauthorized access to or use of secured data and to prevent data loss. However, the ever-evolving threats mean the Company and third-party service providers and vendors must continually evaluate and adapt systems and processes, and there is no assurance that they will be adequate to safeguard against all cybersecurity incidents or misuses of data. The Company and certain of the Company's third-party providers have experienced cybersecurity attacks, but to date they have not materially compromised the Company’s information technology environment or data security infrastructure or resulted in a material impact on the Company’s business or operations or intellectual property or the material release of confidential information about its employees, customers, dealers, suppliers or other third parties. Any future significant compromise or breach of the Company’s information technology environment or data security infrastructure, whether external or internal, or misuse of customer, employee, dealer, supplier or Company data could result in disruption to the Company’s operations, significant costs, lost sales, lawsuits with third-parties, fines and penalties, government enforcement actions, unauthorized release of confidential, proprietary or otherwise protected information, loss of intellectual property rights, such as trade secrets, corruption of data, negative impact on the value of investment in research, development and engineering, remediation costs and/or damage to the Company’s reputation. In addition, as the regulatory environment related to information security, data collection and use and privacy becomes increasingly rigorous with new and evolving requirements, compliance could also result in the Company being required to incur additional costs.
•
The Company utilizes a limited number of contract manufacturers to produce certain components and/or products, which may present significant risks due to the lack of direct control over their activities, including delivery schedules, quality assurance, production costs and manufacturing yields. Our contract manufacturers' inability to produce certain components and/or products that satisfy our requirements may have a material
14
adverse effect on our business.
In certain circumstances, the Company relies on contract manufacturers to provide manufacturing, procurement, logistics and distribution services for certain components and/or products. If the contract manufacturer becomes unwilling or unable to manufacture components and/or products at the required quantity, quality, cost or schedule, the Company may need to engage another contract manufacturer or build its own in-house manufacturing capabilities, which could cause the Company to incur significant cost and expense. Additionally, it may take time to transition to another contract manufacturer, and there is no assurance that another contract manufacturer would be able to meet the Company’s capacity, capability or quality requirements, or otherwise be an effective and acceptable manufacturing solution. Additionally, utilizing contract manufacturers subjects the Company to risks associated with the protection of our trademarks and other intellectual property. If our contract manufacturers fail to protect our trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property, either intentionally or unintentionally, including producing products that compete with ours, it may adversely affect our operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
•
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 four 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 involve changes to existing or new bargaining agreements. Further, the Company's strategic decisions regarding the use of its global manufacturing operations, including using contract manufacturing, may adversely impact the successful renewal of the existing agreements. Failure to renew the existing agreements when they expire or to amend agreements or establish new collective bargaining agreements when that is necessary on terms acceptable to the Company and the unions could result in the relocation of production, work stoppages or other labor disruptions, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.
•
Weather and weather-related events may impact retail sales by the Company's dealers.
The Company has observed that abnormally cold and/or wet conditions in a region, including impacts from hurricanes or unusual storms, could have the effect of reducing demand or changing the timing for purchases of new and used Harley-Davidson motorcycles and parts and accessories. Fires and other natural disasters could have similar negative impacts. Reduced demand for new Harley-Davidson motorcycles ultimately leads to reduced shipments by the Company.
•
The Company has substantial liabilities for employee pension and healthcare benefits.
The Company’s cash funding requirements and its estimates of liabilities and expenses for pensions and healthcare benefits for both active and retired employees are based on several factors that are outside the Company’s control. These factors include funding requirements of the Pension Protection Act of 2006, the rate used to discount the future estimated liabilities, the rate of return on plan assets, current and projected healthcare costs, healthcare reform or legislation, retirement age and mortality. Changes in these factors can impact the income, expense, liabilities and cash requirements associated with these benefits, which could have a material adverse effect on future results of operations, liquidity or shareholders’ equity.
•
The Company relies on third-parties to perform certain operating and administrative functions for the Company.
Similar to suppliers of raw materials and components, the Company may experience problems with outsourced services, such as unfavorable pricing, untimely delivery of services or poor quality. Also, these suppliers may experience adverse economic conditions due to changing economic factors that could lead to difficulties supporting the Company's operations, such as inflation, turnover, and labor strikes or shortages. In light of the amount and types of functions that the Company has outsourced, these service provider risks may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
•
The Company’s operations are dependent upon attracting and retaining skilled employees, including skilled labor, executive officers and other senior leaders. The Company’s future success depends on its continuing ability to: (i) identify, hire, develop, motivate, retain and promote skilled personnel for all areas of its organization, (ii) effectively execute reorganization actions within expected costs and realize the expected benefits of those actions, and (iii) attract qualified and experienced independent directors for its Board of Directors.
The Company is highly dependent on its senior management, including its new Chief Executive Officer, Artie Starrs, other key personnel and its Board of Directors. A leadership transition can increase turnover risks, including among key personnel, and result
15
in changes in the Company's business strategy, which may impact its business and financial performance. The loss of key personnel or independent directors could adversely affect the Company’s operations and profitability. Any perceived uncertainties regarding the Company's future direction and control, its ability to develop effective strategies and execute its business plans, or alterations to the composition of its Board of Directors or senior management team could create a perception of instability or a shift in business direction, affecting the Company's ability to attract or retain qualified personnel or independent directors. Further, the Company’s current and future total compensation arrangements, which include benefits and incentive awards, may not be successful in attracting new employees and retaining and motivating the Company’s existing employees. In addition, the Company must cultivate and sustain a work environment where employees are engaged and energized in their jobs to maximize their performance, and the Company must effectively execute reorganization actions. In late 2025, after five years of its corporate employees primarily working remotely, the Company announced that Milwaukee-based corporate employees would return to on-site work at specified Company facilities, including the Company's historic Juneau Avenue campus in Milwaukee. This transition back into the office may impact the Company's culture and workplace which could lead to attrition and difficulty attracting qualified personnel. If the Company does not succeed in attracting new personnel, retaining existing personnel, implementing effective succession plans, executing reorganization actions and motivating and engaging personnel, including executive officers, the Company may be unable to develop and distribute products and services and effectively execute its plans and strategies.
•
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may adversely impact our business: (i) by potentially posing risks to Company confidential or proprietary information; (ii) by potentially giving rise to legal actions or reputational damage; (iii) if employees misuse AI; or (iv) if the Company fails to timely and appropriately adopt AI to remain competitive.
The Company’s workforce may use AI technology, such as generative AI, which may result in the exposure of our confidential or proprietary information to unauthorized third-parties and the misuse of the Company’s intellectual property. Use of AI technology may also result in claims against the Company alleging violation of third-party intellectual property rights. Use of AI technology may also result in inaccurate results and biases that could cause mistakes in the Company's decision-making or other business activities, which may have an adverse impact on the Company's business and results of operations. Further, there is no assurance that the Company's training and enforcement of procedures governing the use of AI will be adequate to safeguard against the unauthorized use of AI technology. Additionally, if the Company does not adopt AI in a timely or effective manner, it could incur additional costs or face competitive disadvantages which may adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations.
Strategic Risks
•
The Company recently appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and is developing a new strategic plan, which creates uncertainties that may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.
Artie Starrs assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer on October 1, 2025. Soon after his appointment, he initiated a comprehensive evaluation of the Company's strategy and operations. The Company expects the strategic and operational evaluation activities to continue in the coming months to develop a new strategic plan for the Company. To the extent the Company is unable to successfully develop, implement, and execute its strategic plan, or if it experiences delays in the development, implementation or execution of the strategic plan, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation may be adversely affected. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to develop, implement, or execute business plans or strategies, or that they will ultimately be profitable or successful.
•
International sales and operations, along with being an iconic American company, subject the Company to risks that may have a material adverse effect on its business.
International operations and sales remain an important part of the Company’s business plans and strategies. Further, international operations and sales are subject to various risks, including political and economic instability, local labor market conditions, the imposition of new and existing foreign tariffs (including rebalancing tariffs in response to tariffs the U.S. imposes) and other trade barriers, the impact of foreign government laws and regulations, U.S. laws and regulations that apply to international operations, the effects of income and withholding taxes, governmental expropriation and differences in business practices. The Company may incur increased costs and experience delays or disruptions in product deliveries and payments in connection with international operations and sales that could cause loss of revenues and earnings. Additionally, the Company's global manufacturing presence may negatively affect U.S. consumer perspectives of its iconic American brand. This perception could also influence non-U.S. consumer preferences. As geopolitical tensions continue, nationalism may increase globally, causing consumers in the international market to refrain from purchasing the Company's products because the Company is an iconic American motorcycle manufacturer and/or U.S. consumers to refrain from purchasing the Company's products because of its global manufacturing locations, which could result in reduced demand for the Company's products and may have a material adverse effect on the
16
Company's business and results of operations. Unfavorable changes in the political, regulatory and business climate could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net sales, financial condition, profitability and cash flows. International sales require modification of products to meet local requirements or preferences, which may impact the Company's ability to achieve international sales growth. Business practices that may be accepted in other countries can violate U.S. or other laws that apply to the Company. Violations of laws that apply to the Company's foreign operations, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and economic sanctions laws, could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, could disrupt the Company's business and result in an adverse effect on the Company's reputation, business and results of operations.
•
The Company’s success depends upon the continued strength of the Harley-Davidson brand.
The Company believes that the Harley-Davidson brand has significantly contributed to the success of its business and that maintaining and enhancing the brand is critical to maintaining and expanding its customer base. Geopolitical tensions that give rise to anti-U.S. sentiments or campaigns may cause consumers in non-U.S. markets to cancel, reduce or defer purchases from U.S.-based companies. As an American icon, the Company may be subjected to some or all of these actions, which may have a negative impact on the Company's business and results of operations. Additionally, failure to protect the brand from infringers or to grow or maintain the value of the Harley-Davidson brand may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations. Further, third-parties with whom the Company has business relationships or that have, or are perceived to have, close ties to the brand, including its employees, dealers, brand ambassadors and influencer network, may fail to represent the brand in a manner consistent with the Company’s brand image or act in a manner that harms the Company’s reputation, which could cause immediate harm to the Company’s reputation and brand. The reputations of the Company’s employees, dealers, brand ambassadors and influencer network could negatively impact how consumers view the Company’s products or brand. The use of online media by the Company, its brand ambassadors, its influencer network, and its consumers has increased the risk that its brand and reputation could be negatively impacted. The speed and reach of information dissemination have drastically increased with the use of online media. The dissemination of information via online media has given users the ability to organize collective actions such as boycotts and other brand
-damaging behaviors more effectively and could harm the Company’s
brand
or business, regardless of the information’s accuracy. The harm may be immediate, without affording the Company an opportunity for redress or correction, which may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, an increase in the use of online media for product promotion and marketing may increase the burden on the Company to monitor compliance of such materials and increase the risk that such materials could contain problematic product or marketing claims in violation of
applicable regulations. The Company's reputation may also be adversely affected by inappropriate use of its marks or name, including potential negative publicity, loss of confidence or other damage to the Company's image due to licensed use and/or unlicensed use. Additionally, third parties may challenge the Company's intellectual property or allege that the Company infringes or misappropriates intellectual property of the third parties. The Company may incur substantial costs to enforce or defend the Company's intellectual property or to defend the Company against allegations of infringement or misappropriation. If the outcome of any such enforcement or defense is unfavorable to the Company, its brand could be adversely affected.
•
Activist shareholders or activist campaigns could cause the Company to incur substantial costs, hinder the development of the Company’s new strategic plan or have other adverse impacts on the Company.
The Company may receive proposals from shareholders
requesting certain corporate actions that may not align with the Company’s business strategies or the interests of the Company’s other shareholders. Additionally, the Company may be the target of activist campaigns aimed at pressuring the Company to take actions that do not align with the Company’s business strategies or the interests of the Company’s shareholders, which can be costly and time-consuming. These activities may disrupt the Company’s operations by diverting the Board's and management’s attention and resources, and may negatively impact the reputation of the Company, its operating results, or its ability to attract or retain investors, customers, and employees. For example, in April 2025, one of the Company’s largest shareholders at that time, H Partners, launched an activist campaign during the proxy season in which it expressed disagreement with certain actions by specific members of the Company's Board of Directors and senior management. Although the Company prevailed in the proxy contest, it required the Company to retain advisors, including legal, financial and public relations, at significant cost and required significant time and attention from the Board of Directors and management.
•
The timing and amount of the Company's share repurchase strategy are subject to a number of uncertainties.
The Company previously announced its plan to repurchase $1 billion of its common stock on a discretionary basis between the third quarter of 2024 and the end of 2026. The amount and timing of share repurchases are based on a variety of factors that could cause the Company to limit, suspend or delay future stock repurchases. Such factors
17
include but are not limited to: (i) unfavorable market and economic conditions, (ii) the trading price of its common stock, (iii) the nature and magnitude of other investment opportunities available to the Company from time to time, (iv) legal constraints on trading at certain times; and (v) the availability of cash. Delaying, limiting or suspending the Company's stock repurchase program may negatively affect performance versus earnings per share targets, and ultimately its stock price.
•
The LiveWire segment is an emerging entrant in the electric vehicle sector and may not be able to adequately control the costs of its operations, generate sufficient cash flows or obtain sufficient funding independent of the Company to sustain its operations, and there is no assurance that LiveWire will be able to successfully manage these risks.
The Company maintains a controlling equity ownership of LiveWire as a separate business and significant ongoing commercial relationships with it. There are no assurances that LiveWire will be able to execute its business plans and strategies.
The Company’s ability to realize the desired business benefits from LiveWire will be affected by, among other factors: (i) LiveWire's expectation of significant expenses and continuing losses for several years until the demand exists for its electric vehicles resulting in significant sales, which may occur later than expected or not at all; (ii) the ability of LiveWire to obtain sufficient funding from sources other than the Company to sustain its operations; (iii) the ability of LiveWire to achieve profitability, which is dependent on the successful development and commercial introduction and acceptance of its electric vehicles, and its services, which may not occur; (iv) the ability of LiveWire to adequately control the costs of its operations; (v) competition in the electric vehicle sector, including the products and services of LiveWire; (vi) LiveWire's dependency on its ability to develop, maintain and strengthen its brand, which may impact its ability to build a critical mass of customers; (vii) the ability of LiveWire to execute on its plans to develop, produce, market and sell its electric vehicles; (viii) the willingness and ability of LiveWire's retail partners, largely drawn from the Company’s traditional motorcycle dealer network, to be able to effectively establish and maintain relationships with retail customers for electric vehicles; and (ix) the ability of LiveWire to adapt its long-term strategy and product offerings to align with evolving customer preferences and broader electric vehicle trends, including the slower than anticipated adoption of electric vehicles given a lack of government incentives, less favorable regulatory environment and slower expansion of charging infrastructure. If LiveWire is unable to successfully manage these risks, it may adversely affect the business and results of the Company’s operations.
•
The Company's insurance coverage strategy may not be adequate to protect it from all business risks.
The Company may be subject, in the ordinary course of business, to losses resulting from product liability or other litigation, accidents, cybersecurity incidents, acts of God and other claims against it, for which the Company may have no insurance coverage or insufficient insurance coverage. Additionally, the Company may be subject to losses imputed onto the Company because of acts and inadequate insurance coverage and/or capitalization of suppliers and providers. The Company's policies may include significant deductibles or self-insured retentions, policy limitations and exclusions. Therefore, the Company cannot be certain that its insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future losses or claims against it. A loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits may require the Company to pay substantial amounts, which may harm the Company’s financial condition and operating results.
•
The Company may not realize the desired benefits from the strategic transaction between HDFS and its strategic partners, KKR and PIMCO.
During 2025, HDFS (i) sold to KKR and PIMCO a collective 9.8% of its common equity interest, (ii) sold to KKR and PIMCO the majority of its existing gross consumer retail loan receivables, including those held in securitized trusts, and (iii) began to sell up to two-thirds of HDFS’s on-going retail loan originations. Harley-Davidson Credit Corp., a subsidiary of HDFS, also completed the sale of a portion of HDCC’s promissory notes and security agreements portfolio to KKR Morrow Trust and HDL Trust. These strategic transactions may involve significant challenges and risks, including: (i) limiting HDFS’s ability to enter into other strategic transactions, such as with another third-party investor; (ii) adding complexities to HDFS’s business operations; (iii) requiring significant attention from HDFS’s management; and (iv) increasing governmental or regulatory issues for HDFS and the Company. There is no assurance that the Company will realize the desired financial or other benefits from these strategic transactions, including those related to HDFS's capital structure.
Financial Risks
•
The HDFS segment is exposed to credit risk on its retail and wholesale finance receivables.
Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from a failure by a customer, including the Company's dealers, to meet the terms of any contract with HDFS. Wholesale and retail credit losses are influenced by general business and economic conditions, including inflation, unemployment rates, bankruptcy filings, recessionary conditions and other factors that negatively affect household incomes, as well as contract terms and customer credit profiles. These credit losses are also influenced by the markets for new and used motorcycles, and the Company and its dealers can and do take actions that impact those markets. For example, the introduction of new models by the Company that represent significant upgrades on
18
previous models may result in increased supply or decreased demand in the market for used Harley-Davidson branded motorcycles, including those motorcycles that serve as collateral or security for credit that HDFS has extended. This in turn could adversely impact the prices at which repossessed motorcycles may be sold, which may lead to increased credit loss rates for HDFS. Further, even when HDFS does exercise its rights to seek repossession of collateral, there is no assurance that a motorcycle will be successfully repossessed, which also may lead to increased credit loss rates for HDFS. Negative changes in general business, economic or market factors may have an additional adverse impact on the Company’s financial services credit losses and future earnings. HDFS's retail credit losses have changed, and the Company believes they 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 actions that the Company has taken and could take that impact motorcycle values may impact HDFS's retail credit losses.
•
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.
The Company sells its products globally and in most markets outside the U.S. those sales are made in the foreign country’s local currency. As a result, a weakening in those foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can adversely affect the Company's revenue and margin, and cause volatility in its results of operations. Furthermore, many competitors headquartered outside the U.S. experience a financial benefit from a strengthening in the U.S. dollar relative to their home currency that can enable them to reduce prices to U.S. consumers. The Company is also subject to risks associated with changes in prices of commodities. Earnings from the Company’s financial services business are affected by changes in interest rates. When benchmark interest rates are high when compared with the past periods of low benchmark interest rates, rates available to consumers for new vehicle financing are high as well, which makes the Company’s motorcycles relatively less affordable to customers and can steer customers to less expensive motorcycles that would be less profitable for the Company, adversely affecting the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Additionally, if consumer interest rates increase substantially or if financial service providers, including Harley-Davidson Financial Services, tighten lending standards or restrict their lending to certain classes of credit, customers may not desire or be able to obtain financing to purchase the Company’s motorcycles. The effects of inflation on the discretionary income of consumers, together with elevated interest rates relative to recent years, have adversely influenced both our dealers and consumers. This has resulted in reduced demand for our products. A further substantial increase in customer interest rates or tightening of lending standards could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. Although the Company uses derivative financial instruments to some extent to manage a portion of its exposure to foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rate risks, the Company does not attempt to manage its entire expected exposure, and these derivative financial instruments generally do not extend beyond one year, except for the Company's cross-currency swaps related to foreign denominated debt, the duration of which corresponds with the duration of the hedged debt, and may expose the Company to credit risk in the event of counterparty default to the derivative financial instruments. There can be no assurance that in the future the Company will successfully manage these risks.
•
The HDFS segment is dependent on accessing capital markets to fund operations at competitive interest rates, the Company’s access to capital and its cost of capital are highly dependent upon its credit ratings, and any negative credit rating actions may adversely affect its earnings and results of operations.
Liquidity is essential to the Company’s financial services business. Disruptions in financial markets may cause lenders and institutional investors to reduce or cease to loan money to borrowers, including financial institutions. The Company’s HDFS segment may be negatively affected by difficulty in raising capital in the long-term and short-term capital markets. These negative consequences may in turn adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations in various ways, including through higher costs of capital and reduced funds available through its HDFS segment to provide loans to dealers and their retail customers. Additionally, the ability of the Company and its HDFS segment to access unsecured capital markets is influenced by their short-term and long-term credit ratings. If the Company’s credit ratings are downgraded or its ratings outlook is negatively changed, then the Company’s cost of borrowing could increase, which may result in reduced earnings and reduced interest margins, and the Company’s access to capital may be disrupted or impaired.
Legal, Regulatory & Compliance Risks
•
Geopolitical conflicts and tensions have impacted the global economy, leading to the implementation of tariffs and additional trade restrictions and may significantly impact the Company's operations and financial performance.
In
19
January 2025, the global tariff landscape began to quickly change with the U.S. implementing tariffs on various foreign countries, either generally or with respect to certain products, and certain of those foreign countries implementing rebalancing tariffs on the U.S., either generally or with respect to certain products. In certain circumstances, the U.S. and certain foreign countries temporarily suspended tariffs they had recently implemented, either in whole or in part. The U.S. continues to implement new, reinstated or adjusted tariffs, and the Company expects that it will continue with this practice. Foreign countries subject to these U.S. tariffs continue to implement new, reinstated or adjusted rebalancing tariffs, and the Company expects that foreign countries will continue with that practice. The U.S. and foreign countries may also amend, suspend or withdraw their respective tariffs at any time. New or increased tariffs are expected to negatively impact the Company’s ability to sell products domestically and internationally at or near current prices as tariffs impact the cost of raw materials, components and motorcycles.
For example, in 2018, the United States imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union. In response, the EU enacted incremental rebalancing tariffs of 25% on selected goods imported into the EU, including non-electric motorcycles. Beginning in April 2021, these tariffs were applied to the Company’s motorcycles manufactured in the U.S. and Thailand, resulting in a total duty of 31% upon importation to the EU. The EU suspended the 25% rebalancing tariffs in October 2021 pending ongoing negotiations with the U.S., and this suspension was further extended for six months on August 5, 2025. The EU continues to evaluate the status of this suspension as trade discussions with the United States evolve. The Company is unable to predict the final outcome of these developments or their potential impact on rebalancing or future tariffs.
These tariffs have impacted the cost of motorcycles and could increase the cost of components and materials used to make the Company’s motorcycles and other products. Higher production costs could make the Company’s motorcycles and other products less affordable for consumers, both in the U.S. and in foreign countries, and negatively impact consumer demand. The Company may not be able to mitigate the effects of these tariffs which could negatively impact the Company’s operations and financial performance.
•
The Company must comply with governmental laws and regulations that are subject to change and involve significant costs.
The Company’s sales and operations in areas outside the U.S. are subject to foreign laws, regulations and the legal systems of foreign courts or tribunals. These laws and policies governing operations of foreign-based companies may result in increased costs or restrictions on the ability of the Company to sell its products in certain countries. U.S. laws and policies affecting foreign trade and taxation may also adversely affect the Company's international sales operations.
The Company’s U.S. sales and operations are subject to governmental policies and regulatory actions of agencies of the United States Government, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), SEC, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Labor and Federal Trade Commission. In addition, the Company’s sales and operations are also subject to laws and actions of state legislatures and other local regulators, including dealer statutes and licensing laws. Changes in regulations, changes in interpretations of regulations by governmental agencies, or the imposition of additional regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations.
Tax
–
The Company is subject to income and non-income based taxes in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and in various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company's worldwide income tax liabilities and other tax liabilities. The Company believes that it complies with applicable tax laws. If the governing tax authorities have a different interpretation of the applicable laws or if there is a change in tax laws, the Company's financial condition and/or results of operations may be adversely affected. To the extent there are considerable changes to tax laws, the Company may need to readjust its tax strategy, and may not be able to take full advantage of, or fully mitigate the adverse impacts of, such changes.
Environmental
–
Many of the Company's products are subject to statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions, noise and other matters, including standards imposed by the EPA, state regulatory agencies, such as the California Air Resources Board, and regulatory agencies in certain foreign countries where the Company’s motorcycle products are sold. The Company is also subject to statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions and noise in the conduct of the Company’s manufacturing operations. Any significant change to the regulatory requirements governing emissions and noise may substantially increase the cost of manufacturing the Company’s products. If the Company fails to meet existing or new requirements, then the Company may be unable to produce and sell certain products or may be subject to fines or penalties.
Electric Vehicles
- The Company's LiveWire segment is subject to substantial regulation. Unfavorable changes to, or failure to comply with, current or future regulations could substantially harm the Company’s business and its operating results. Increased environmental, safety, emissions or other regulations may result in higher costs, cash
20
expenditures and/or sales restrictions. Regulations related to the electric vehicle industry and alternative energy are currently evolving and the Company’s LiveWire segment faces risks associated with changes to these regulations, such as: (i) the imposition of a carbon tax or the introduction of a cap-and-trade system on electric utilities, either of which could increase the cost of electricity and thereby the cost of operating an electric vehicle; (ii) new state regulations of electric vehicles fees could discourage consumer demand for electric vehicles; (iii) the increase of subsidies for alternative fuels such as corn and ethanol could reduce the operating cost of vehicles that use such alternative fuels and gasoline, and thereby reduce the appeal of electric vehicles; (iv) revocation of or discontinuation of or lack of federal and/or state incentives or subsidies for the manufacture, sale or purchase of electric vehicles which could reduce the appeal of electric vehicles; (v) changes to the regulations governing the sourcing, assembly, transportation, and labeling of battery cells (such as the Batteries Regulation in the EU and related secondary legislation) could increase the cost of battery cells or make such commodities more difficult to obtain; (vi) changes in regulation, for example relating to the noise required to be emitted by electric vehicles, may impact the design or function of electric vehicles, and thereby lead to decreased consumer appeal; (vii) changes in regulations governing the range and miles per gallon of gasoline equivalent calculations could lower LiveWire’s electric vehicles’ ratings, making electric vehicles less appealing to consumers; and (viii) the amendment or rescission of the CAFE standards could reduce new business opportunities for the LiveWire business. To the extent compliance with new regulations is cost prohibitive, the Company’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
Financial Services
–
The HDFS segment is governed by a wide range of U.S. federal and state and foreign laws that regulate financial and lending institutions, and financial services activities. In the U.S. for example, these laws include the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, the unfair, deceptive and abusive practices (UDAAP) provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the consumer data privacy and security provisions of the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act. HDFS operations originate the majority of its consumer loans through its subsidiary, Eaglemark Savings Bank, a Nevada state thrift chartered as an Industrial Loan Company. U.S. federal and state bodies may in the future impose additional laws, regulations and supervision over the financial services industry, and priorities of federal and state regulators can be subject to change.
Violations of, or non-compliance with, relevant laws and regulations may limit the ability of HDFS to collect all or part of the principal or interest on applicable loans, may entitle the borrower to rescind the loan or obtain a refund of amounts previously paid, could subject HDFS to payment of damages, civil fines, or criminal penalties and administrative sanctions and could limit the number of loans eligible for HDFS securitization programs or that may be available to sell to its strategic partners. Such regulatory requirements and associated supervision also could limit the discretion of HDFS in operating its business, such as through the suspension or revocation of any charter, license or registration at issue, as well as the imposition of administrative sanctions, including "cease and desist" orders. The Company cannot assure that the applicable laws or regulations will not be amended or construed in ways that are adverse to HDFS, that new laws and regulations will not be adopted in the future, or that laws and regulations will not attempt to limit the interest rates or convenience fees charged by HDFS, any of which may adversely affect the business of HDFS or its results of operations.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) is a sweeping piece of legislation impacting financial services and the full effect continues to evolve as regulations that are intended to implement the Dodd-Frank Act are adopted, and the text of the Dodd-Frank Act is analyzed by stakeholders and the courts. The Dodd-Frank Act also created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the Bureau). The Bureau has significant enforcement and rule-making authority in the area of consumer financial products and services. The direction that the Bureau will take, the regulations it will adopt, and its interpretation of existing laws and regulations are all elements that are not yet fully known and subject to change. Given the fact that a single director leads the Bureau, and the director is subject to at-will removal by the President, the strategic direction and priorities of the Bureau can be subject to volatile swings upon changes in presidential administrations. The Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regularly investigate the products, services and operations of those engaged in vehicle finance activities. As a result of such investigations, both the Bureau and the FTC have announced various enforcement actions against lenders and servicers in the past few years involving significant penalties, consent orders, cease and desist orders and similar remedies that, if applicable to the Company or the products and services the Company offers, may require the Company to cease or alter certain business practices, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity. Compliance may be costly and could affect operating results as the implementation of new forms, processes, procedures and controls and infrastructure may be required. Compliance may create operational constraints and place limits on pricing. Failure to comply, as well as changes to laws and regulations, or the imposition of additional laws and regulations, could affect HDFS's
21
earnings, limit its access to capital, limit the number of loans eligible for HDFS securitization programs or sale to its strategic partners and have a material adverse effect on HDFS’ business and results of operations. The Bureau also has supervisory authority over certain non-bank larger participants in the vehicle financing market, which includes a non-bank subsidiary of HDFS, allowing the Bureau to conduct comprehensive and rigorous on-site examinations that could result in enforcement actions, fines, changes to processes and procedures, product-related changes or consumer refunds or other actions.
•
Regulations related to materials that the Company purchases to use in its products could cause the Company to incur additional expenses and may have other adverse consequences.
Laws or regulations impacting the Company's supply chain, such as the UK Modern Slavery Act and the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, could affect the sourcing and availability of some of the raw materials that the Company uses in the manufacturing of its products and the apparel and licensing products sourced from its suppliers. The Company's supply chain is complex, and if it is not able to fully understand its supply chain and effectively mitigate any issues, then the Company may face reputational challenges with customers, investors, regulators or others and other adverse consequences. For example, many countries in which the Company distributes its products are introducing regulations that require knowledge and disclosure of virtually all materials and chemicals in the Company’s products. Accordingly, the Company could incur significant costs related to the process of complying with these laws, including potential difficulty or added costs in satisfying the disclosure requirements.
•
The Company is subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and economic sanctions and similar laws, and noncompliance with such laws can subject the Company to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation.
The Company is subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and similar laws and regulations in various jurisdictions in which it conducts or in the future may conduct activities, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 (the U.K. Bribery Act), and other anti-corruption laws and regulations. Due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S., in coordination with the United Kingdom and the European Union, among others, has implemented sanctions and export control measures targeting Russia, Belarus, and Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine (Crimea, the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, and Luhansk People's Republic). These measures include prohibitions on the export, re-export, or transfer of luxury goods, among other products, to Russia and Belarus, including motorcycles, motorcycle parts and accessories, and leather goods. A violation of these laws or regulations could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation. The Company’s policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these regulations may not be sufficient and its directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, agents, and business partners could engage in improper conduct for which the Company may be held responsible.
The Company’s business also must be conducted in compliance with applicable economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations, such as those administered and enforced by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the United Nations Security Council and other relevant sanctions authorities. The Company’s global operations expose the Company to the risk of violating, or being accused of violating, anti-corruption laws and economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations. The Company’s failure to comply with these laws and regulations may expose it to reputational harm as well as significant penalties, including criminal fines, imprisonment, civil fines, disgorgement of profits, injunctions and debarment from government contracts, as well as other remedial measures. Investigations of alleged violations can be expensive and disruptive. Despite the Company’s compliance efforts and activities, it cannot assure compliance by its employees or representatives for which it may be held responsible, and any such violation could materially adversely affect the Company’s reputation, business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
Non-compliance with anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering or financial and economic sanctions laws could subject the Company to whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations and severe administrative, civil and criminal sanctions, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, changes in economic sanctions laws in the future could adversely impact the Company’s business and investments in its common stock.
•
The Company’s operations may be affected by greenhouse gas emissions and climate change and related regulations
. There are significant legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. Congress has previously considered and may in the future implement restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, several U.S. states, including states where the Company has manufacturing facilities, have previously
22
considered and may in the future implement greenhouse gas registration and reduction programs. Energy security and availability and its related costs affect all aspects of the Company’s manufacturing operations worldwide, including the Company’s supply chain and contract manufacturers. The Company’s manufacturing facilities use energy, including electricity and natural gas, and certain of the Company’s facilities emit amounts of greenhouse gas that may be affected by these legislative and regulatory efforts. Greenhouse gas regulation could increase the price of the electricity the Company purchases, increase costs for use of natural gas, potentially restrict access to or the use of natural gas, require the Company to purchase allowances to offset the Company’s own emissions or result in an overall increase in costs of raw materials, any one of which could increase the Company’s costs, reduce competitiveness in a global economy or otherwise negatively affect the Company’s business, operations or financial results. Many of the Company’s suppliers face similar circumstances. Physical risks to the Company’s business operations as identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and other expert bodies include scenarios such as sea level rise, extreme weather conditions and resource shortages. Extreme weather may disrupt the production and supply of component parts or other items, such as natural gas, a fuel necessary for the manufacture of motorcycles and their components. Supply disruptions would raise market rates and jeopardize the continuity of motorcycle production.
Further, in response to concerns about global climate changes and related changes in consumer preferences, the Company is likely to face greater regulatory pressure to develop products that generate less emissions and to generate less emissions in all phases of its operations. For example, both the United Kingdom (UK) and EU passed legislation in 2022, which each subsequently revised, to end new fossil fuel car sales by 100% by 2035 in the UK and by 90% by 2035 in the EU. While these laws target fossil fuel cars, the ongoing concerns about global climate and related changes in consumer preferences could lead to a similar ban on internal combustion engines for motorcycles, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations. Additionally, in the near term, the Company will not be primarily focused on electric vehicles but will be channeling its focus in this area through its majority investment in LiveWire Group, Inc. As a result, the separation of the LiveWire business may adversely affect the Company's efforts to develop electric vehicles outside of the LiveWire business, at least in the near term, and that could have longer-term negative impacts on the Company's ability to offer electric vehicles in response to pressure to develop products that generate less emissions.
General Risks
•
Changes in general economic and business conditions, tightening of credit and retail markets, political events or other factors may adversely impact dealers’ retail sales.
The motorcycle industry is impacted by general economic conditions over which motorcycle manufacturers have little control. These factors can weaken the retail environment and lead to weaker demand for discretionary purchases, such as the Company's motorcycles. Weakened economic conditions in certain business sectors and geographic areas can also: (i) result in reduced demand for the Company's products; (ii) negatively impact the business performance and operations of the Company's network of independent dealerships; and (iii) negatively impact the business performance and operations of the Company's suppliers, all of which may negatively impact the financial performance and operations of the Company. Tightening of credit can limit the availability of funds from financial institutions and other lenders and sources of capital which could adversely affect the ability of: (i) retail consumers to obtain loans for the purchase of motorcycles from lenders; and (ii) the Company's independent dealers and suppliers, and HDFS, to effectively operate their businesses. For example, recent macroeconomic conditions have impacted the Company's customers globally, with inflationary pressures creating affordability challenges and high interest rates contributing to delays in customers' decisions to upgrade to new models, which adversely impact dealers' retail sales and the Company's results of operations.
•
Geopolitical conditions, including regional conflicts, terrorism, war, and international disputes could cause damage or disruption to commerce and the economy, and thus have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and operating results.
The Company operates around the world in various geographic regions and is subject to global events that are beyond its control. The motorcycle industry can also be affected by regional conflicts and other factors over which motorcycle manufacturers have little control. For example, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has led to an unprecedented expansion of sanctions programs imposed by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, Japan and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic.
Further, ongoing regional conflicts, including the military conflict between Israel and Hamas, a U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist Organization and the risk of increased tensions between, for example, China and Taiwan and the U.S. and the EU, could result in increased pressure on our supply chain, which could increase the cost of
23
manufacturing. The Company has a number of suppliers in China, and a conflict between China and Taiwan may impact the Company's supply chain. The EU is the Company's second largest sales region, and escalated tensions between the U.S. and the EU could impact demand for the Company's motorcycles in that region. The length, impact and outcome of international conflicts are highly unpredictable, and such conflicts could lead to significant volatility in commodity prices and supply and prices of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences as well as increases in cyberattacks and espionage, which could impact the Company's financial condition and operating results.
•
The Company is and may in the future become subject to legal proceedings and commercial or contractual disputes.
Potential future lawsuits or other claims, or future adverse developments associated with existing unresolved lawsuits and other claims, may harm the Company’s business, financial condition, reputation and brand. The defense of these lawsuits or other claims may result in the expenditure of significant financial resources and the diversion of management’s time and attention away from business operations. An increase in the number of nuclear jury verdicts and overall amounts of jury awards may also increase the costs of defense, insurance and award payments, and may also encourage plaintiffs to initiate more lawsuits and higher settlement demands regardless of the merits of their claims. The Company may be required to make payments in connection with the resolution of lawsuits or other claims by settlement or otherwise, and any such payment or associated costs 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.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
Risk Management and Strategy
The Company has implemented policies and procedures that are intended to manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. Material risks from cybersecurity threats are managed across HDMC, HDFS, LiveWire and third-party suppliers and vendors. Cybersecurity risks and threats are monitored by the Company's Corporate Information Security Office and routinely discussed with senior management across the Company. Cybersecurity risks are identified and assessed through third-party assessments, IT security assessments, audits conducted by Internal Audit and risk and compliance reviews. Additionally, as part of the Company’s cybersecurity risk management process, tabletop exercises are conducted at the technical and management levels. During these tabletop exercises, cybersecurity incidents are simulated, aimed at ensuring the Company is prepared in the event of a cybersecurity incident and to help identify areas of improvement for the cybersecurity program.
The Company takes measures to regularly update and continuously improve its cybersecurity program, including conducting independent program assessments, performing penetration testing and scanning the Company’s systems for vulnerabilities using external third-party tools and techniques to test security controls, auditing applicable data policies and monitoring emerging laws and regulations related to information security.
The Company also periodically engages third-party consultants to assist in assessing and enhancing its cybersecurity program.
The Company has implemented risk-based controls to protect its information, customer information, third-party information, its information systems and its business operations. The Company follows the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and has adopted security-control principles based on NIST, other industry-recognized standards and contractual requirements, as required.
With respect to third parties, the Company's cybersecurity program includes a cybersecurity supply chain risk management component aimed at identifying and mitigating risks from vendors, suppliers, and other third-parties.
The supply chain risk management program is integrated into the Company’s procurement workflow and includes conducting due diligence on select suppliers, vendors and other third parties. The cybersecurity risks of the vendor, supplier or other third party are evaluated by the Corporate Information Security Office when assessing the engagement and determining the appropriate oversight of the vendor, supplier or other third party. The Company also contractually requires suppliers, vendors and other third parties with access to its information technology systems, sensitive business data or personal information to implement and maintain appropriate security controls and contractually restricts their ability to use the Company’s data, including personal information, for purposes other than to provide services to the Company, except as required by law. To oversee the risks associated with these service providers, the Company works with suppliers, vendors and other third parties
24
to help ensure that their cybersecurity protocols are appropriate to the risk presented by their access to or use of the Company’s systems and/or data, including notification and coordination concerning incidents occurring on third-party systems that may affect the Company.
The Company's cybersecurity program also includes a cybersecurity training component. All employees are required to complete annual cybersecurity training focused on helping the workforce recognize cyber threats and scams, avoid falling victim to threats and scams, and report potential threats and scams. In addition, periodic cybersecurity awareness messages are posted on the Company portal. To reinforce these practices, the Company conducts routine phishing simulations across the organization to test employee awareness and provides targeted follow-up training, where needed.
While the Company has experienced, and may in the future experience, cybersecurity incidents, prior incidents have not materially affected the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
Although the Company has invested in the protection of its data and information technology and monitors its systems on an ongoing basis, there can be no assurance that such efforts will in the future prevent material compromises to Company information technology systems that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. For additional information, refer to “A significant cybersecurity incident or data privacy breach may adversely affect the Company’s reputation, revenue and earnings,” in
Item 1A. Risk Factors
.
Governance
The Audit and Finance Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors and on behalf of the Board of Directors, has oversight responsibility for enterprise risk and enterprise risk management systems for the Company, including cybersecurity risks.
The Committee reports on its activities related to risk oversight to the full
Board
at least quarterly. The Audit and Finance Committee is actively involved in reviewing the Company’s information security and technology risks and opportunities, including cybersecurity, and discusses these topics on a regular basis.
The Audit and Finance Committee also receives updates on a quarterly basis from senior management, including the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) regarding cybersecurity matters. These updates include cybersecurity risks, mitigation and status of cybersecurity risks, cybersecurity incidents (if any), cybersecurity initiatives and cybersecurity industry news and trends. In the event of a potentially material cybersecurity event, the Chairman of the Board and the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee will be notified and briefed. If appropriate, the Audit and Finance Committee and/or full Board of Directors would be notified and briefed, which may include holding a meeting or meetings to discuss and be briefed on the event.
The Company’s cybersecurity program is led by the
CISO
who is responsible for assessing and managing the Company’s data privacy function and information security and technology risks, including cybersecurity. In October 2025, the person serving as CISO left the Company. The Chief Digital and Operations Officer assumed the responsibilities of Acting CISO from October until his departure from the Company on December 31, 2025.
The Company’s IT Security Manager is serving as acting CISO, executing all the responsibilities of the CISO, while the Company conducts a search to fill the position. The Company's IT Security Manager has over 20 years of experience in Information Technology, including 13 years focused on cybersecurity and regulatory compliance, with leadership roles spanning Enterprise Security Architecture, Security Operations and Incident Response, Cybersecurity Engineering, and Application Security.
This background includes developing and executing security strategies, managing incident prevention and response, and leading operational risk programs. The CISO reports to our Chief Legal, Compliance and Corporate Affairs Officer, who has been providing legal support to the Company's Corporate Information Security Office for over 9 years.
At the management level, the Company has established a Cyber Incident Review Committee consisting of senior executives including the Chief Legal, Compliance and Corporate Affairs Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Communications Officer, Chief Marketing and Technology Officer, Director of Internal Audit and Deputy General Counsel, that meets regularly with the CISO to ensure identified issues are addressed expeditiously and reported to the appropriate regulatory agencies as required. In addition, the CISO escalates issues determined to be significant to the Chief Legal Officer in accordance with the Company's incident response processes.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol HOG. As of January 30, 2026, there were 58,612 shareholders of record of Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock.
On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (Goldman) to repurchase an aggregate of $200 million of the Company’s shares of common stock. Under the ASR, the Company paid $200 million to Goldman and received an initial delivery of 6,291,781 shares of the Company's common stock on November 6, 2025, representing 80% of the payment amount divided by the Company's closing share price on November 5, 2025.
On February 13, 2026, Goldman settled the ASR by delivering 3,147,971 shares of the Company's common stock, resulting in a total delivery of 9,439,752 shares under the $200 million ASR, with the initial delivery treated as shares repurchased in 2025 and the remaining shares treated as shares repurchased in 2026. The total number of shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the ASR was based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock, less a discount, during the repurchase period. The amount delivered on February 13, 2026 represents the difference between the initially delivered shares and the total number of shares purchased.
The Company’s share repurchases, which consisted of discretionary share repurchases, including 6,291,781 shares repurchased pursuant to the ASR in 2025, 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 December 31, 2025:

In July 2024, 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. In July 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 15.0 million additional shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis with no dollar limit or expiration date. As of December 31, 2025, 23.4 million shares remained under the authorizations. The Company repurchased 6.3 million shares on a discretionary basis during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, all of which were purchased pursuant to the ASR.
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's capital allocation priorities are to (i) fund strategic initiatives, including any associated capital expenditures, (ii) pay dividends and (iii) exercise discretionary share repurchases. These priorities are 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.

Overview
(1)
During 2025, a challenging economic environment, including high-interest rates and depressed consumer sentiment resulting from economic uncertainty, continued to adversely impact consumer demand for premium discretionary products, including the Company's motorcycles. Net income attributable to Harley-Davidson, Inc. for 2025 was $338.7 million, or $2.78 per diluted share, down from $455.4 million, or $3.44 per diluted share, in 2024. Consolidated operating income in 2025 decreased $30.0 million compared to 2024 primarily due to unfavorable operating results in the HDMC segment. This was partially offset by higher operating income in the HDFS segment driven by a transaction the Company entered into with two counterparties, related to HDFS, during the second half of 2025 (HDFS Transaction) and lower operating losses in the LiveWire segment.
HDMC segment operating loss was $28.7 million in 2025 compared to operating income of $277.8 million in 2024. The reduction in operating results was due primarily to lower motorcycle shipments, which fell in response to a decline in worldwide retail motorcycle sales. Operating income was also unfavorably impacted by unfavorable manufacturing leverage related to higher fixed costs per unit on lower production and shipment volumes as well as the impact from new or increased tariffs implemented in 2025, partially offset by favorable changes in pricing, shipment mix, foreign currency rates and raw material costs.
LiveWire segment operating loss was $75.0 million in 2025 compared to an operating loss of $109.6 million in 2024. The decrease in operating loss was due primarily to lower operating expenses, largely as a result of cost reduction initiatives.
HDFS segment operating income was $490.4 million in 2025 compared to operating income of $248.4 million in 2024. The increase in operating income was due primarily to a release of the allowance for credit losses on receivables sold as part of the HDFS Transaction and higher other income, partially offset by lower interest income, higher interest expense, including debt extinguishment costs, and higher operating expenses.
Retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles declined during 2025 as they continued to be negatively impacted by a challenging macroeconomic environment. Worldwide dealer retail unit sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 12.4% in 2025 compared to 2024. During 2025, retail sales decreased 12.9% and 11.5% in U.S. and international markets, respectively, compared to 2024. Refer to the
Harley-Davidson Retail Sales
section for further discussion of retail sales results.
Key Factors Impacting the Company
U.S. and Foreign Tariffs
– During 2025, the U.S. implemented new or increased tariffs on goods from various foreign countries, either generally or with respect to certain products. In certain circumstances, the U.S. and certain foreign countries continued to discuss trade policy which could impact the on-going cost of tariffs for the Company. During 2025, the total cost of new or increased tariffs implemented in 2025 that the Company incurred was approximately $67
million
(a)
.
Certain tariffs have been challenged in U.S. courts, including tariffs levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 which the Supreme Court ruled were unconstitutional on February 20, 2026, which could impact the continued application of the new or increased tariffs. Depending on the outcome of court challenges and any related actions by the administration or Congress, trade negotiations and other factors, the U.S. and foreign countries may sustain, amend, suspend or withdraw existing tariffs or implement new tariffs. If existing tariffs are sustained or new tariffs are implemented,
29
it will likely increase the Company’s cost of raw materials, components, finished motorcycles, parts and accessories and apparel and affect its ability to sell products domestically and internationally at or near current prices. The Company's U.S.-centric manufacturing footprint and sourcing limit its exposure to tariffs; however, based on the portions of the Company's business that are exposed directly or indirectly to tariffs and the magnitude of potential incremental tariffs, the impact to the Company could be material. The impacts of new or increased tariffs to the Company for the full year 2025 and the Company's expectations for 2026

Includes the cost of new or increased import and export tariffs implemented in 2025 paid directly by the Company and indirect costs paid to suppliers for tariff-related price increases. Excludes the benefit of any past or future mitigation actions, changes in demand and operational costs primarily to accelerate shipments ahead of actual or expected new or increased tariffs.
The Company plans to continue its efforts to mitigate the impact of tariffs, including engaging with governments to advocate for consideration of motorcycles in trade negotiations; pursuing recovery of tariffs, where appropriate; moving inventory into markets ahead of tariff effective dates; evaluating sourcing options and pricing for its products; and prudently managing cost.
In its efforts to pursue recovery of tariffs, the Company has been successful in its appeal of certain tariffs. In April 2021, the Company received notification from the Economic Ministry of Belgium that, following a request from the 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 applied to all motorcycles imported by the Company into the EU, regardless of origin.
The Company pursued 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). The Company received a favorable judgment on the appeal of the denial of its application for temporary extended reliance, which resulted in the Company receiving a €35 million refund on February 23, 2026 (or $42 million remeasured to U.S. dollars on February 23, 2026). This did not impact the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025; it will impact the results for the first quarter of 2026.
30
Interest Rates
- Despite an interest rate decline in the latter part of 2024 and another in the third quarter of 2025, interest rates remained heightened in 2025. The declines in the latter part of 2024 and third quarter of 2025 follow a significant increase during 2022 and 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.
HDFS Transaction
- In the second half of 2025, the Company entered into the HDFS Transaction with two counterparties relating to HDFS. The key aspects of the transaction include:
•
Sale of Existing Retail Finance Receivables: During the second half of 2025, HDFS agreed to sell the majority of its existing retail finance receivables, including its securitization beneficial interests. As a result, the Company had the following impacts:
▪
Sale of Securitization Beneficial Interests: HDFS completed the sale of 95% of its residual interests in retail finance receivables that were previously transferred to certain special purpose entities (SPEs) through on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions, resulting in a gain of $27.9 million and the deconsolidation of $1.9 billion of net finance receivables and $1.7 billion of related debt, among other assets and liabilities.
▪
Sale of Retail Finance Receivables: HDFS sold $4.1 billion of retail finance receivables originated prior to the HDFS transaction, resulting in the release of the related allowance for credit losses and contributing to a $191.4 million benefit in the provision for credit losses in 2025.
•
Sale of On-Going Retail Loan Originations: HDFS agreed to sell up to two-thirds of new retail loan originations to the counterparties over a 5-year period (Forward Flow Agreement) and began selling a portion of new retail loan originations to the counterparties during the fourth quarter of 2025. HDFS earns loan servicing fees over the period it services loans purchased by the counterparties at a rate of 1% per annum for prime loans and 2.5% per annum for subprime loans.
•
Equity Investments in HDFS: Each of the counterparties paid $23.3 million cash to acquire 4.9% of HDFS based on a multiple of approximately 1.75x HDFS's post-transaction equity carrying value for a total of 9.8% of HDFS. As a result, the counterparties began participating in HDFS equity, including its earnings, representing a non-controlling interest in the Company's ownership of HDFS, in the fourth quarter. Seven years after closing the transaction or in the event of a change of control of Harley-Davidson, Inc. or HDFS, each counterparty will have the right to exchange
(1)
their HDFS ownership interest for Harley-Davidson common stock. Three years after closing the transaction, the Company has the right to repurchase the counterparties' ownership interest in HDFS using cash that would otherwise be available to the Company in the form of a dividend from HDFS; however, the Company may not purchase any more than one-third of the counterparties' HDFS ownership in an individual year.
Using proceeds from the HDFS Transaction, HDFS executed a tender offer for its $700.0 million 6.50% medium-term notes due 2028 and $500.0 million 5.95% medium-term notes due 2029, resulting in $437.1 million and $355.1 million of notes being redeemed, respectively. HDFS subsequently executed a make-whole redemption, resulting in the remaining $262.9 million of medium-term notes due 2028 being redeemed. The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $67.6 million, which included unamortized discounts and fees, related to the medium-term note transactions and an additional $5.0 million related to other debt settlement transactions during 2025. The $72.6 million of loss from debt extinguishment is included within
Financial services interest expense
on the
Consolidated statements of operations.
The tender offer and subsequent make-whole redemption on the medium-term notes contributed to the $3.6 billion decrease in HDFS debt and deposits during 2025, largely driven by lower funding needs and using proceeds from the HDFS Transaction.
Proceeds from the HDFS Transaction were also used to pay down the Company's $450 million term loan and enter into a $200 million accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program, which contributed 6.3 million shares to the Company's 2025 discretionary share repurchases, with the remainder available for settlement of the HDFS medium-term notes due in 2026 and expected to be used for general corporate purposes
(1)
.
HDFS now carries a lower retail finance receivables balance as compared to 2024 due to the sale of a significant portion of its retail loan portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2025 and the sale of a portion of its new originations within the quarter. As a result, the Company expects HDFS’s operating income will be reduced as it earns less interest income on HDFS’s lower retail finance receivable balance, partially offset by new retail loan servicing fees for servicing loans that have been sold and from expected ongoing sales of loans under the Forward Flow Agreement
(1)
.
31
New Products and Annual Launch Timing
- The Company has announced plans to introduce a new small displacement motorcycle, which the Company believes will be profitable, and an iconic classic cruiser starting in 2026. In addition, the Company began to shift the timing of its annual new model year launch from January to the preceding fall for certain models in 2025 and expects to continue expanding to additional models in future years to create additional retail selling opportunities later in each calendar year. Finally, the Company announced LiveWire's plans to launch production versions of two concept mini-motorcycles, which represents a strategic shift in LiveWire's product portfolio to align with evolving customer preferences and growing global demand for lightweight, urban-friendly mobility solutions.
New Chief Executive Officer and New Strategic Plan
- Effective October 1, 2025, the Company hired a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Soon after the new CEO's appointment, the Company initiated a comprehensive evaluation of its strategy and operations. The Company expects the strategic and operational evaluation activities to continue in the coming months, which the Company expects will result in the announcement of a new strategic plan in the second quarter of 2026.
Guidance
(1)
On February 10, 2026, the Company announced the following expectations for 2026, which exclude potential impacts that could result from the adoption of the new strategic plan the Company expects to announce in the second quarter of 2026:
The Company expects 2026 wholesale shipments and worldwide dealer retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles of 130,000 to 135,000 units as the Company believes global dealer retail inventory levels support the alignment of expected wholesale shipments with expected worldwide dealer retail sales of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The Company expects shipments to be lower in the first and third quarters of 2026 as compared to the same quarters in 2025, and it expects shipments to be higher in the second and fourth quarters of 2026 as compared to the same quarters in 2025.
The Company expects a reduced level of production in light of the current retail environment. The reduced level of production is expected to negatively impact HDMC operating margins due to unfavorable manufacturing leverage as fixed costs are allocated over fewer units produced resulting in a higher unit cost. As a result of unfavorable manufacturing leverage and the expected additional cost of new or increased tariffs for a full year, the Company expects 2026 HDMC operating results in the range of $40 million operating loss to $10 million operating income.
The Company expects LiveWire operating loss of $70 million to $80 million in 2026.
The Company expects HDFS operating income of $45 million to $60 million in 2026, which compares to $490.4 million and $248.4 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. The expected reduction in 2026 is related to the HDFS Transaction, which benefited 2025 HDFS operating income and reduced HDFS's retail finance receivables balance and, as a result, is expected to reduce interest income on a lower retail finance receivables balance. The Company expects HDFS to continue to increase its retail finance receivable base over the coming years as it continues to originate retail finance receivables held for investment. The anticipated increase in the retail finance receivable base will contribute to higher levels of HDFS operating income which the Company expects will reach approximately three times 2026 expected HDFS operating income in or around 2029.
In 2022, the Company set a cost productivity target to eliminate $400 million of incremental cost incurred since 2020 by 2025. The Company's efforts are focused on production efficiency, logistics network optimization and supplier cost optimization. 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 2024, the Company adjusted the target in 2024 by removing the impact of manufacturing leverage and increasing productivity objectives in other areas to maintain the original target. In 2025, the Company extended its target to be more than $400 million by the end of 2026. Excluding the impact of manufacturing leverage, the Company achieved approximately $24 million, $123 million, $110 million, and $103 million of cost productivity savings in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively, resulting in total productivity savings of $360 million since the beginning of 2022. The Company is committed to on-going efforts to increase productivity and is reevaluating its productivity targets in connection with the development of a new strategic plan it expects to share in the second quarter of 2026.
The Company is conducting a review of its cost base, including operating expenses, in light of the current retail and wholesale environment. The Company expects its review will identify opportunities for the Company to reduce its cost base that, when the Company acts on them, the Company expects will result in at least $150 million of total annual savings at its HDMC and HDFS segments compared to its current cost base. The Company expects to identify and act on the opportunities so that it will realize these cost savings beginning in 2027. The Company expects these savings to be incremental to the previously announced productivity savings the Company expects to achieve by the end of 2026, which the Company expects will continue into 2027.
32
The Company expects capital investments in 2026 of between $175 and $200 million.
The Company previously announced a plan to repurchase approximately $1 billion of shares on a discretionary basis in aggregate from the third quarter of 2024 through the end of 2026. The Company purchased $250 million shares on a discretionary basis during the third and fourth quarters of 2024 and $347 million shares on a discretionary basis in 2025, including $160 million of shares settled in 2025 pursuant to the $200 million ASR program. The Company remains committed to returning excess capital to shareholders in a disciplined and sustainable manner; however, the Company is pausing near-term discretionary share repurchases, with the exception of shares due to the Company under its ASR program at December 31, 2025 which were delivered on February 13, 2026, until it develops its new strategic plan that it expects to announce in the second quarter of 2026.

The Company reported operating income of $386.6 million in 2025 compared to $416.6 million in 2024 due to lower operating results at the HDMC segment, partially offset by higher operating income at the HDFS segment and a lower operating loss at the LiveWire segment. The HDMC segment reported operating loss of $28.7 million compared to operating income of $277.8 million in 2024. Operating loss from the LiveWire segment decreased $34.6 million compared to 2024. Operating income from the HDFS segment increased $242.0 million compared to 2024. Refer to the HDMC segment, LiveWire segment and HDFS segment discussions for a more detailed analysis of the factors affecting operating results.
Other income, net was lower in 2025 compared to 2024 as the prior year was favorably impacted by income related to a decrease in the fair value of LiveWire's warrant liabilities which did not recur in 2025. Investment income decreased in 2025 as compared to 2024 driven by lower income from cash equivalents.
The Company's effective income tax rate for 2025 was a 28.2% expense compared to a 13.9% expense for 2024. The Company's 2025 effective tax rate was unfavorably impacted by valuation allowances recorded during 2025, which reduced deferred tax assets. This compares to the Company's 2024 effective tax rate which was favorably impacted by the mix of earnings from certain non-US jurisdictions that have a lower statutory tax rate or have beneficial tax holidays. Refer to
Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
for further discussion regarding the Company’s effective tax rate.
Diluted earnings per share was $2.78 in 2025 compared to $3.44 in 2024 with the decrease due to lower net income partially offset by the benefit of lower weighted average shares outstanding as compared to 2024. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding decreased from 132.3 million in 2024 to 121.3 million in 2025 primarily due to repurchases of common stock.

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.
Worldwide retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 12.4% during 2025 compared to 2024 driven primarily by declines in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
The decline in North American retail sales was driven by lower retail sales in the United States, which continued to be negatively impacted by a challenging macroeconomic environment, including high interest rates and depressed consumer sentiment, adversely impacting consumer discretionary spending. In addition, the decline in retail sales was due in part to a positive impact in the prior year associated with the launch of the Company's redesigned 2024 new model year Touring motorcycles, which is the Company's highest volume motorcycle family. This was partially offset by a smaller decline in the Company's Cruiser models, which the Company refreshed in 2025. Retail sales in Asia Pacific and Europe were soft also primarily due to challenging macroeconomic conditions.
Worldwide retail inventory of new motorcycles was approximately 40,000 units at the end of 2025, which was down approximately 17% from the end of 2024 primarily due to more significant reductions of models other than Grand America Touring models, as dealers reduced inventory levels in the current retail environment which resulted in lower HDMC shipments in 2025 compared to 2024.

New motorcycle registrations for the industry and Harley-Davidson are provided by or derived from third-party sources. New motorcycle registrations include consumer registrations (retail registrations) and to a lesser extent manufacturer, distributor and dealer registrations (non-retail registrations), for example, to register demonstration fleets. In the later part of 2024, manufacturers (including the Company), distributors and dealers registered some motorcycles in Europe through non-retail registrations to qualify the motorcycles under the new Euro 5+ emissions standard to allow for subsequent retail sale after December 31, 2024. This included approximately 3,700 non-retail registrations of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles in 2024, which in turn adversely impacted the number of new Harley-Davidson motorcycle registrations during 2025. While the Company believes industry registrations for Europe in 2024 were impacted in a similar manner, it does not have access to competitor information necessary to confirm this.

HDMC shipped 124,477 motorcycles worldwide during 2025, which was 16.4% lower than during 2024. Shipments to dealers in 2025 were lower than 2024 based on a planned decrease in motorcycle shipments and softer than expected retail demand as dealers adjusted inventory levels for the current retail environment. The Company shipped a greater proportion of its refreshed Cruiser models and a lower proportion of Grand American Touring models as the prior year included the launch of the Company's newly redesigned Touring motorcycles.

The following factors affected the changes in net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from 2024 to 2025:
•
The decrease in volume was primarily due to lower wholesale motorcycle shipments.
•
Revenue was positively impacted by favorable pricing on new model year motorcycles as well as parts and accessories and apparel, partially offset by increased motorcycle incentives that were selectively introduced in 2025 to assist dealers in reducing dealer inventory levels in 2025 and into 2026 with a focus on reducing Grand American Touring dealer inventory.
•
Revenue and gross profit were positively impacted by stronger foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar as well as favorable net foreign currency impacts associated with balance sheet remeasurements recorded in cost of goods sold.
•
Changes in the shipment mix of motorcycles had a favorable impact on gross profit primarily driven by beneficial mix within families toward new limited edition models and models with upgrades and new features, partially offset by unfavorable impacts from shipping a lower proportion of Grand American Touring models.
•
Raw material costs, excluding the impact of tariffs, were lower than in the prior year.
•
Manufacturing and other costs were negatively impacted by unfavorable manufacturing leverage related to higher fixed costs per unit resulting from lower production and shipment volumes as well as higher tariff and logistics costs. These negative impacts were partially offset by supply-chain productivity gains.
Operating expenses were higher in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to increased marketing costs as the Company supported its dealers' marketing efforts during the riding season as well as costs related to the Company's proxy contest in connection with the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders, partially offset by lower people costs, including the cost of compensation and benefits, as well as lower product liability and warranty costs on lower volume.

During 2025, revenue decreased by $0.7 million, or 2.6%, compared to 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of promotional incentives, partially offset by higher electric motorcycle and electric balance bike volume. Cost of sales

decreased by $8.8 million, or 22.6%, during 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to lower downward inventory valuation adjustments on lower inventory purchases.

Interest income was lower in 2025 compared to 2024, primarily due to lower average outstanding retail finance receivables at a higher average yield and lower average outstanding wholesale receivables at a lower average yield.
Other income increased largely due to a gain on sale of residual interests in securitizations, servicing income earned as a result of the HDFS Transaction, and higher net premiums earned by Eaglemark Insurance Company Ltd. (EICL), the Company's insurance captive that reinsures several Harley-Davidson-branded voluntary protection products provided by unaffiliated third parties.
Interest expense increased primarily due to $72.6 million in debt extinguishment costs, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on outstanding debt. The debt extinguishment costs and declines in outstanding retail finance receivables and debt were primarily a result of the HDFS Transaction.
The provision for credit losses decreased $438.6 million compared to 2024 primarily due to a release of the allowance for credit losses associated with loans sold in conjunction with the HDFS Transaction combined with favorable actual credit losses and reserve impacts due to the smaller retail portfolio. The allowance for credit losses considers current economic conditions and the Company's outlook on future conditions. At the end of 2025, 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 and muted consumer confidence. The Company's expectations surrounding its economic forecasts may change in future periods as additional information becomes available.
On a managed basis, which considers all loans serviced by the Company, annual retail credit losses on the Company's retail motorcycle loans were 3.37% during 2025 compared to 3.31% in 2024. The 30-day managed basis delinquency rate for retail motorcycle loans increased to 5.77% at December 31, 2025 from 5.34% at December 31, 2024. The unfavorable managed basis retail credit loss and delinquency performance were driven by several factors connected to the macro-economic environment and the related customer and industry dynamics, including the impact of higher motorcycle payments and general inflationary pressures on retail customers. Additionally, while recovery values at auction have stabilized, values continue to run below historical levels.
Wholesale credit losses were $4.8 million higher than in 2024 driven by the charge-off of finance receivables at several troubled dealers.
Operating expenses increased $10.4 million in 2025 primarily due to an increase in insurance claim costs incurred by EICL as well as HDFS employee costs.

At December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses on retail finance receivables was $(22.3) million compared to $378.4 million at December 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses on the retail motorcycle loan portfolio was in an asset position at December 31, 2025 as estimated recoveries from retail finance receivables previously charged-off exceeded the allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment. The allowance for credit losses on wholesale finance receivables was $24.6 million at December 31, 2025 and $22.8 million at December 31, 2024.

The Company reported lower operating income of $416.6 million in 2024 compared to $779.1 million in 2023 due to lower operating income at the HDMC segment partially offset by improved operating results at the HDFS and LiveWire segments. The HDMC segment reported operating income of $277.8 million compared to $661.2 million in 2023. Operating loss from the LiveWire segment decreased $7.2 million compared to 2023. Operating income from the HDFS segment increased $13.7 million compared to 2023. Refer to the HDMC segment, LiveWire segment and HDFS segment discussions for a more detailed analysis of the factors affecting operating results.
Other income, net in 2024 was impacted by income related to a decrease in the fair value of LiveWire's warrant liabilities in 2024 compared to an increase in 2023, partially offset by lower non-operating income related to the Company's defined benefit plans. Investment income increased in 2024 as compared to 2023 driven by higher income from cash equivalents.
The Company's effective income tax rate for 2024 was a 13.9% expense compared to a 19.8% expense for 2023. The Company's 2024 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by the mix of earnings from certain non-US jurisdictions that have a lower statutory tax rate or have beneficial tax holidays and tax benefits related to continued investment in research and development. Refer to
Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
for further discussion regarding the Company’s effective tax rate.
38
Diluted earnings per share was $3.44 in 2024 compared to $4.87 in 2023 with the decrease due to lower net income partially offset by the benefit of lower weighted average shares outstanding as compared to 2023. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding decreased from 145.1 million in 2023 to 132.3 million in 2024 primarily due to repurchases of common stock.

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.
Worldwide retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles decreased 7.1% during 2024 compared to 2023 driven primarily by declines in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
The decline in North American retail sales was driven by lower retail sales in the United States, which were negatively impacted by a continued challenging macroeconomic environment that included high interest rates adversely impacting consumer discretionary spending. Retail sales in Asia Pacific and Europe were soft also primarily due to challenging macroeconomic conditions. In Asia Pacific, the decline in retail sales was primarily due to lower sales in Japan and China, while lower retail unit sales in Europe were driven by declines in Germany and the surrounding region.
Despite the overall decline in retail sales, North America retail sales of Grand American Touring motorcycles, including Trike motorcycles, increased more than 8% in 2024 compared to 2023 as the Company introduced updated Grand American Touring motorcycles and continued to focus on its most profitable products.
Worldwide retail inventory of new motorcycles was approximately 48,000 units at the end of 2024, which was down approximately 5% from the end of 2023.

The reduction in shipments was consistent with the Company's plan for 2024, which included aligning wholesale and retail sales as dealers and the Company acted to adjust dealer inventory levels for the current retail environment.
The motorcycles shipped during 2024 compared to 2023 included a higher mix of Grand American Touring motorcycles as a percent of total shipments to improve availability of models most desired by customers following the introduction of all-new Grand American Touring motorcycles.

The following factors affected the changes in net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from 2023 to 2024:
•
The decrease in volume was primarily due to lower wholesale motorcycle shipments.
•
Revenue was adversely impacted by the elimination of the pricing surcharge late in 2023 and a fine-tuned pricing strategy for 2024 partially offset by higher promotional costs in the fourth quarter of 2023 that did not recur in 2024.
•
Revenue and gross profit were negatively impacted by weaker foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar as well as less favorable net foreign currency impacts associated with balance sheet remeasurements recorded in cost of goods sold.
•
Changes in the shipment mix of motorcycles had a favorable impact on revenue due primarily to a shift away from Cruiser models to higher priced Grand American Touring models during 2024 compared to 2023. The impact of shipment mix on gross profit was adversely impacted by incremental costs primarily within the Grand American Touring motorcycle family related to new product features and upgrades included on the Company's model year 2024 motorcycles. Shipment mix was also negatively impacted by unfavorable changes in mix within apparel and licensing.
•
Raw material costs were lower than in the prior year.
•
Manufacturing and other costs were negatively impacted by unfavorable manufacturing leverage related to higher fixed costs per unit resulting from lower production volumes, continued moderate inflation and payment of a ratification bonus related to new collective bargaining agreements with hourly employees in Wisconsin. These negative impacts were partially offset by supply-chain productivity gains.
Operating expenses were lower in 2024 compared to 2023 due to lower people costs, including the cost of compensation and benefits, and decreases in other discretionary spending as the Company continued to focus on cost discipline and increased productivity.

During 2024, revenue decreased by $11.9 million, or 31.2%, compared to 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes of electric balance bikes and electric motorcycles as well as a lower average prices on electric motorcycles. Cost of sales decreased by $5.4 million, or 12.2%, during 2024 compared to 2023 on lower volumes of electric balance bikes and electric motorcycles.

Interest income was higher in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to higher average outstanding finance receivables at a higher average yield.
Other income decreased largely due to lower licensing revenue partially offset by higher insurance-related income.
Interest expense increased due to higher average interest rates on higher outstanding debt and deposits.
The provision for credit losses increased $20.1 million compared to 2023 due to higher actual retail and wholesale credit losses partially offset by a favorable change in the allowance for credit losses. The favorable change in the allowance for credit losses was largely due to a decrease in retail receivables, partially offset by a larger increase in the wholesale reserve on increased portfolio risk, as compared to 2023. The allowance for credit losses considered current economic conditions and the Company's outlook on future conditions. At the end 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 and muted consumer confidence. The Company's expectations surrounding its economic forecasts may change in future periods as additional information becomes available.
Annual retail credit losses on the Company's retail motorcycle loans were 3.31% during 2024 compared to 3.00% in 2023. The 30-day delinquency rate for retail motorcycle loans at December 31, 2024 increased to 5.34% from 5.09% at December 31, 2023. The unfavorable retail credit loss and delinquency performance were driven by several factors connected to the macro-economic environment and the related customer and industry dynamics, including the impact of higher motorcycle payments and general inflationary pressures on retail customers. Additionally, the Company continued to experience downward pressure on recovery values at auction. Wholesale credit losses were $1.5 million higher than 2023 driven by the charge-off of finance receivables related to two troubled dealers.
Operating expenses were higher in 2024 compared to 2023 due in part to increased repossession costs, insurance-related expenses, and foreign currency losses, partially offset by lower employee-related costs.

Other Matters
New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Refer to
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
for a discussion of new accounting standards that will become effective for the Company in the future.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s financial statements are based on the selection and application of significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Management believes that the following are the critical judgment areas in the application of accounting policies that currently affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit and Finance Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Retail Finance Receivables
– The allowance for credit losses on retail finance receivables represents the Company’s estimate of lifetime losses, net of recoveries, for its retail finance receivables.
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 weighted-average remaining maturity and vintage-based loss forecast methodologies. Vintage-based forecasts include decompositions for probability of default, exposure at default, attrition rate, and recovery balance rate. Reasonable and supportable economic forecasts for a one- or two-year period are incorporated into the methodologies to reflect the estimated impact of changes in future economic conditions, such as unemployment rates, household obligations or other relevant factors, over the reasonable and supportable period. For periods beyond the Company’s reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company reverts to its average historical loss experience immediately or 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.
Refer to
Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
for further discussion regarding the Company’s allowance for credit losses on finance receivables.
Product Recalls
– The estimated costs associated with voluntary recalls are recorded when the liability is both probable and estimable. The accrued cost of a recall is based on an estimate of the cost to repair each affected motorcycle and the number of motorcycles expected to be repaired based on historical data concerning the percentage of affected customers that take advantage of recall offers. As actual experience becomes available, it is used to update the accruals.
The factors affecting actual recall costs can be volatile. As a result, actual recall costs may differ from estimates, which could lead to material changes in the Company’s accrued recall costs. The Company’s recall liabilities are discussed further in
Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
.
Pensions and Other Postretirement Healthcare Benefits
– The Company has a defined benefit pension plan and postretirement healthcare benefit plans, which cover certain eligible employees and retirees. The Company also has unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan agreements (SERPA) with certain employees.
U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires that companies recognize in their consolidated balance sheets a liability for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans that are underfunded or an asset for defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans that are overfunded.
Pension, SERPA and postretirement healthcare obligations and costs are calculated through actuarial valuations. The valuation of benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs relies on key assumptions including discount rates, mortality, long-term expected return on plan assets, future compensation and healthcare cost trend rates.
44
The Company determines its discount rate assumptions by referencing high-quality long-term bond rates that are matched to the duration of its benefit obligations. Based on this analysis, the Company decreased the weighted-average discount rate for pension and SERPA obligations from 5.65% as of December 31, 2024 to 5.55% as of December 31, 2025. The Company decreased the weighted-average discount rate for postretirement healthcare obligations from 5.63% as of December 31, 2024 to 5.39% as of December 31, 2025. The Company determines its healthcare trend assumption for the postretirement healthcare obligation by considering factors such as estimated healthcare inflation, the utilization of healthcare benefits and changes in the health of plan participants. Based on the Company’s assessment of this data as of December 31, 2025, the Company set its healthcare cost trend rate for the upcoming year at 6.27% as of December 31, 2025. The Company expects the healthcare cost trend rate to reach its ultimate rate of 5.00% by 2033.
(1)
These assumption changes were reflected immediately in the benefit obligation and will be amortized into net periodic benefit costs over future periods.
Plan assets are measured at fair value and are subject to market volatility. In estimating the expected return on plan assets, the Company considers the historical returns on plan assets, adjusted to reflect the current view of the long-term investment market.
Changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans resulting from the difference between assumptions and actual results are initially recognized in other comprehensive income and amortized to expense or income over future periods. Sensitivity to changes in major assumptions used in the pension and postretirement healthcare obligations and costs was as follows (in thousands):

The impact of a 1% decrease in the discount rate on net periodic benefit income includes an unfavorable impact on the amortization of unrecognized net actuarial losses, an unfavorable impact on service cost and a favorable impact on interest cost. The amounts based on current assumptions above exclude the impact of settlements and curtailments. This information should not be viewed as predictive of future amounts. The calculations of pension, SERPA and postretirement healthcare obligations and costs are based on many factors in addition to those discussed here. This information should be considered in combination with the information provided in
Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
.
Income Taxes
– The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes
(Topic 740). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and other loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company reviews its deferred income tax asset valuation allowances on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred income tax asset is considered, along with any positive or negative evidence including tax law changes. Since future financial results and tax law may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowances may be necessary.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. These tax laws and regulations are complex and significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related deferred tax assets and liabilities.
In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Accruals for unrecognized tax benefits are provided for in accordance with the requirements of Topic 740. An unrecognized tax benefit represents the difference between the recognition of benefits related to items for income tax reporting purposes and financial reporting purposes. The unrecognized tax benefit is included within
Other long-term liabilities
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
. The Company has a liability for interest and penalties on exposure items, if applicable, which is recorded as a component of the overall income tax provision. The Company is regularly audited by tax authorities as a normal course of business. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that
45
it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns and that its annual tax provision includes amounts sufficient to pay any assessments
(1)
. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.
Refer to
Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
for further discussion regarding the Company's income taxes.
Commitments and Contingencies
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. 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. Refer to
Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
for a discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies.
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 and the return of excess capital to shareholders, primarily with cash flows from operating activities and cash and cash equivalents on hand, including cash generated in 2025 from the HDFS Transaction as described in
Key Factors
.
(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, brokered certificates of deposit and cash and cash equivalents on hand. In addition, the Company expects to fund a portion of its finance receivables through the sale under the Forward Flow Agreement of up to two-thirds of the retail finance receivables that HDFS originates shortly after they are originated.

Total committed borrowing capacity of the Canadian Conduit facility was C$165.0 million ($120.4 million) at December 31, 2025. Availability was limited based on the amount of Canadian retail finance receivables available to be used as collateral.
46
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 credit ratings as of December 31, 2025 were as follows:

The Company recognizes that it must continue to monitor and adjust its business to changes in the lending environment. The Company expects that the Forward Flow Agreement associated with the HDFS Transaction as described in
Key Factors
will reduce its funding risk in the near-term.
(1)
The Company intends to continue with a diversified funding profile through a combination of short-term and long-term funding vehicles and to pursue a variety of sources to obtain cost-effective funding.
(1)
HDFS segment results could be negatively affected by higher costs of funding and increased difficulty of raising, or potential unsuccessful efforts to raise, funding in the short-term, medium-term and long-term capital markets.
(1)
These negative consequences could in turn adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations in various ways, including through higher costs of capital, reduced funds available through HDFS to provide loans to dealers and their retail customers, and dilution to existing shareholders through the use of alternative sources of capital. As a result of the HDFS Transaction, however, the Company believes those risks are reduced in the near term.

Operating Activities
The decrease in operating cash flow in 2025 compared to 2024 was primarily due to lower motorcycle shipment volumes and unfavorable manufacturing and tariff costs compared to 2024. Additionally, operating cash flow decreased due to originations of retail finance receivables classified as held for sale under the Forward Flow Agreement. Cash flows from the origination and collection of retail finance receivables the Company intends to sell at origination are classified within cash flow from operating activities. There were no originations of retail finance receivables held for sale in 2024. Cash flow provided by operating activities was also impacted by positive working capital impacts primarily related to an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a smaller decrease in inventory in 2025 compared to 2024.
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 December 31, 2025 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.
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
. The Company's income taxes include a liability for unrecognized tax benefits and related accrued interest and penalties as discussed further in
Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
. 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 wholesale finance receivables and retail finance receivables held for sale with the issuance of debt and the sale of retail finance receivables to its counterparties under the Forward Flow Agreement.
(1)
Investing Activities
47
The Company’s most significant ongoing investing activities consist of capital expenditures and the originations and collections of retail finance receivables held for investment. In 2025, the Company also had $3.7 billion of net proceeds from the sale of retail finance receivables initially held for investment, $125.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of securitization beneficial interests, and $23.7 million of collections from its retained securitization beneficial interests related to the HDFS Transaction with no comparable proceeds or collections in 2024. Capital expenditures were $153.7 million and $196.6 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Net cash inflows related to the origination and collection of finance receivables held for investment in 2025, which consisted primarily of retail finance receivables held for investment, were $295.6 million higher than in 2024 primarily due to lower origination of finance receivables held for investment, partially offset by lower collections of finance receivables held for investment, during 2025. The reduction in originations of finance receivables held for investment was partially due to a portion of retail finance receivable originations being classified as operating cash flows starting in the third quarter of 2025 as they were held for sale under the Forward Flow Agreement, partially offset by lower collection of retail finance receivables that were classified as held for sale at origination. The Company funded its finance receivables held for investment net lending activity through the issuance of debt as discussed in the Financing Activities section.
Financing Activities
The Company’s ongoing financing activities consist primarily of dividend payments, share repurchases, deposits and debt activities.
The Company paid dividends of $0.72 per share totaling $86.4 million during 2025 and $0.69 per share totaling $91.2 million during 2024.
Cash outflows for shares repurchased on a discretionary basis, including shares repurchased pursuant to the ASR, were $347.5 million in 2025 and $450.0 million in 2024. Shares repurchased on a discretionary basis in 2025 do not include $40.0 million of financing cash outflows related to cash that was paid under the ASR agreement that the Company expects will result in discretionary shares delivered to the Company in the first half of 2026 as discussed further in
Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements
.

Share repurchases of common stock that employees surrendered to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance shares were $5.8 million or 0.2 million shares and $9.8 million or 0.3 million shares during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, there were 23.4 million shares remaining under board-approved share repurchase authorizations.
During 2025, the Company had $46.6 million of financing cash inflows related to capital contributions from the counterparties in the HDFS Transaction as each of the counterparties paid cash to acquire 4.9% of HDFS as discussed in
Key Factors
. There was no corresponding activity in 2024.

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 $536.6 million
and $550.6 million, net of fees, of interest-bearing brokered certificates of deposit outstanding
as of
December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 December 31, 2025 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 and cash equivalents on hand.

maturity. Unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs on the medium-term notes reduced the outstanding balance by $10.9 million and $13.1 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Unsecured Note Redemptions —
During November 2025, the Company executed a tender offer for its $700.0 million 6.50% medium-term notes due 2028 and $500.0 million 5.95% medium-term notes due 2029, resulting in $437.1 million and $355.1 million of notes being redeemed, respectively. During December 2025, the Company executed a make-whole redemption resulting in the remaining $262.9 million of medium-term notes due 2028 being redeemed. The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $67.6 million, which included unamortized discounts and fees, within

in connection with these actions.
Senior Notes and Term Loan
– 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, which had an interest rate of 3.50%, matured in July 2025. $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 July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a term loan facility that permitted the Company to draw up to $450.0 million on or prior to July 31, 2025. On July 24, 2025, the Company drew $450.0 million under the facility which carried an interest rate of term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a margin based on the Company's credit rating. The Company used the proceeds to pay down the principal and interest of the $450.0 million 3.50% senior notes that matured in July 2025. In November 2025, the Company used proceeds from the HDFS Transaction to pay down the principal and interest of the term loan facility in full. The facility included operating and financial covenants that are substantially the same as those described below and applicable under the Global Credit Facilities at the current credit rating levels for the Company's short-term and long-term debt.
On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility
– In June 2025, 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. The transferred assets are restricted as collateral for the payment of the associated debt. Availability under the Canadian Conduit is based on, among other things, the amount and credit performance of eligible Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables held as collateral.
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.
Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement between the Company and the lenders, as of December 31, 2025, the Canadian Conduit had an expiration date of June 30, 2026.
There were no finance receivable transfers under the Canadian Conduit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2025. Quarterly transfers of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit and the respective proceeds were as follows in 2024 (in millions):

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed U.S. Commercial Paper Conduit Facilities VIE
– In October 2025, 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. Availability under the U.S. Conduit Facility is based on, among other things, the amount and credit performance of eligible U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables held by the SPE as collateral. In addition to extending the term of the U.S.
50
Conduit Facility, the October 2025 amendment updated the fee structure and finance receivable take-out provisions to better align with ongoing HDFS funding needs, including consideration of the Forward Flow Agreement that formed part of the HDFS Transaction.
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 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. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of December 31, 2025, the U.S. Conduit Facility has an expiration date of October 30, 2026.

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Securitization VIEs
– For all of its on-balance sheet 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 asset-backed 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. During the third quarter of 2025, in conjunction with the HDFS Transaction, HDFS determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of most of its asset-backed securitization VIEs and also met the criteria for those asset-backed VIEs to be accounted for as a sale. Accordingly, those VIEs were deconsolidated and accounted for as sales during the third quarter of 2025. After deconsolidating certain VIEs in conjunction with the HDFS Transaction, the Company had one on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization remaining that was repaid in full during 2025. Refer to
Note 11

Notes to Consolidated financial statements

Off-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Financing
- During the third quarter of 2025, HDFS sold 95% of its residual interest in retail finance receivables that were transferred to certain SPEs through on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization
51
transactions to two counterparties as part of the HDFS Transaction. As a result, HDFS determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of the associated VIEs. Accordingly, the VIEs were deconsolidated during the third quarter of 2025. HDFS confirmed that the transfers of loans that occurred at the inception of each VIE met the criteria for an accounting sale under ASC 860. For more information refer to

Intercompany Agreements –
Harley Davidson, Inc. has a support agreement with Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc. whereby, if required, Harley-Davidson, Inc. agrees to provide Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc. with financial support to maintain Harley-Davidson Financial Services lnc.'s fixed-charge coverage at 1.25 and minimum net worth of $40.0 million. Support may be provided at Harley-Davidson, lnc.'s option as capital contributions or loans. No amount has ever been provided to Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc. under the support agreement.
On February 14, 2024, Harley-Davidson, Inc. entered into a Convertible Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (Convertible Term Loan) with LiveWire Group, Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of LiveWire Group, Inc. whereby LiveWire was able to obtain term loans in one or more advances up to an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The Convertible Term Loan had 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. The Convertible Term Loan contained a provision that provided for Harley-Davidson, Inc. to convert amounts outstanding to equity at the maturity date if, on the maturity date, Harley-Davidson, Inc. determined, acting reasonably and in good faith, that LiveWire Group, Inc. did not have the financial wherewithal to repay all amounts outstanding. LiveWire Group, Inc. did not draw any amounts under the Convertible Term Loan.
On November 9, 2025, Harley-Davidson, Inc. entered into an Amended and Restated Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (Term Loan) with LiveWire Group, Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of LiveWire Group, Inc., which amended the Convertible Term Loan. The Term Loan provided LiveWire Group, Inc. with access of up to $75.0 million to be drawn between November 17, 2025 and December 15, 2025. The maturity date of the amount outstanding under the Term Loan, including interest, is December 15, 2027. The Term Loan requires mandatory prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loan from the first $10.0 million of net proceeds (defined as gross proceeds less offering costs) from the At-The-Market program managed by LiveWire Group Inc., which is a program designed to raise capital from external investors in LiveWire Group Inc. The At-The-Market proceeds mandatory prepayment would apply to any funds raised from the funding of the Term Loan through the maturity date. No other scheduled principal payments are required to be made on the Term Loan and the remaining principal balance must be paid in full on the maturity date. The amount outstanding under the Term Loan bears interest at a floating rate per annum, as calculated as of the date of funding of the Term Loan and as of each June 1 and December 1 thereafter, equal to the sum of (i) the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR (secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate)) for a 6-month interest period, plus (ii) 4.00%. Interest is compounded on a semi-annual basis on May 31 and November 30 and is required to be paid in full on the maturity date. The Term Loan includes negative covenants restricting the ability of LiveWire Group, Inc. to incur indebtedness, create liens, sell assets, make investments, make fundamental changes, make dividends or other restricted payments and enter into affiliate transactions. All of the obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of LiveWire Group, Inc.
On December 15, 2025, LiveWire Group, Inc. borrowed $75.0 million under the Term Loan, which remained outstanding as of December 31, 2025.
The Company believes headwinds facing the broader powersports and discretionary leisure industries are even more complicated in the electric vehicle (EV) segment of the market. The Company believes indicators point to a much later EV adoption than the Company originally anticipated given a lack of government incentives and a notably less favorable regulatory environment, combined with a slower expansion of charging infrastructure. LiveWire will continue seeking external capital under its At-The-Market program and review its product portfolio, including its planned introduction of smaller mini-motorcycles that are oriented toward urban use. In addition, LiveWire plans to continue to drive additional significant cost savings to reduce operating losses with the intention of establishing a sustainable business model with the existing funds available. The Company does not plan to make additional investments in LiveWire beyond the amount outstanding under the Term Loan described above.
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. The more significant covenants are described below.
The operating covenants limit the Company’s and Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc.’s ability to:
•
Assume or incur certain liens;
•
Participate in certain mergers or consolidations; and
52
•
Purchase or hold margin stock.
Under the current financial covenants of the Global Credit Facilities, the ratio of Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc.’s consolidated debt, excluding secured debt, to Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc.’s consolidated allowance for credit losses on finance receivables plus Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc.’s consolidated shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), cannot exceed 10.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. 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.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc. and the Company remained in compliance with all of the then-existing covenants.

of LiveWire Group Inc.'s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K; (q) manage the quality and regulatory non-compliance issues relating to the brake hose assemblies provided to the Company by Proterial Cable America, Inc. in a manner that avoids future quality or non-compliance issues and additional costs or recall expenses that are material; (r) maintain a productive relationship with Hero MotoCorp as a distributor and licensee of the Harley-Davidson brand name; (s) successfully maintain or achieve a manner in which to sell motorcycles in Europe, China, and the Company's Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries that does not subject its motorcycles to incremental tariffs; (t) manage its Thailand corporate and manufacturing operation in a manner that allows the Company to avail itself of preferential free trade agreements and duty rates, and sufficiently lower prices of its motorcycles in certain markets; (u) retain and attract talented employees and leadership and qualified and experienced independent directors for its Board of Directors, eliminate personnel duplication, inefficiencies and complexity throughout the organization, successfully complete transitions of executives, and effectively manage the return to on-site work of Milwaukee-based corporate employees at specified Company facilities; (v) accurately estimate and adjust to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices; (w) manage the credit quality, the loan servicing and collection activities, and the recovery rates of HDFS's loan portfolio; (x) prevent ransomware attacks or cybersecurity incidents and data privacy breaches and respond to related evolving regulatory requirements; (y) adjust to tax reform, healthcare inflation and reform and pension reform, and successfully estimate the impact of any such reform on the Company’s business; (z) manage through the effects inconsistent and unpredictable weather patterns may have on retail sales of motorcycles; (aa) implement and manage enterprise-wide information technology systems, including systems at its manufacturing facilities; (bb) manage changes, prepare for, and respond to evolving requirements in legislative and regulatory environments related to its products, services and operations, including increased environmental, safety, emissions or other regulations; (cc) manage its exposure to product liability claims in a manner that avoids or successfully mitigates the impact of substantial jury verdicts and manage exposure in commercial or contractual disputes; (dd) continue to manage the relationships and agreements that the Company has with its labor unions to help drive long-term competitiveness; (ee) realize the desired business benefits from KKR's and PIMCO's investments in HDFS; (ff) manage risks related to functions the Company outsources and the use of artificial intelligence by the Company and its vendors and suppliers; (gg) achieve anticipated results with respect to the Company's preowned motorcycle program, Harley-Davidson Certified, the Company's H-D1 Marketplace, and Apparel and Licensing; (hh) optimize capital allocation in light of the Company's capital allocation priorities; (ii) manage the Company's share repurchase strategy; and (jj) manage issues related to climate change and related regulations.
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'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 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 changes in tariffs, inflation, work stoppages, facility closures, strikes, natural causes, widespread infectious disease, terrorism, war or other hostilities, including the conflict in Ukraine, or other factors. Refer to “Risk Factors” under Item 1.A of this report for a discussion of additional risk factors and a more complete discussion of some of the cautionary statements noted above.
54
Item 7A. 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. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the notional U.S. dollar value of outstanding foreign currency contracts was $448.3 million and $455.3 million, respectively. The Company estimates that a uniform 10% weakening in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the currencies underlying these contracts would result in a decrease in the fair value of the contracts of approximately $45.2 millon and $43.6 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company purchases commodities for 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. At December 31, 2025, the notional value of these instruments was $4.5 million and the fair value was a net liability of $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2024, the notional value of these instruments was $4.2 million and the fair value was a net liability of $0.1 million. The potential decrease in fair value of these contracts from a 10% adverse change in the underlying commodity prices would not be significant.
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 finance receivables, debt and interest rate derivative financial instruments. As a result, HDFS operating income is affected by changes in interest rates. The Company periodically utilizes interest rate caps to reduce the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on its floating-rate asset-backed securitization transactions. HDFS had an interest rate cap with a notional value of $273.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2024 that expired during year ended December 31, 2025. As a result, no interest rate caps were outstanding at December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2024, HDFS estimated that a 10% decrease in interest rates would not result in a material change to the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements.
The Company also has short-term commercial paper and debt issued through the commercial paper conduit facilities that is subject to changes in interest rates that it does not hedge. The Company estimates that a one-percentage point increase in the interest rate on commercial paper and debt issued through the commercial paper conduit facilities as of December 31, 2025 would increase
Financial services interest expense
by
approximately $5.0 mi
llion. This analysis does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, the Company may take actions to mitigate its exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis does not account for these impacts.
The Company has foreign currency-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. At December 31, 2025, this exposure related to the Euro. The Company utilizes cross-currency swaps to mitigate the effect of the foreign currency
55
exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations related to foreign denominated debt. The Company had cross-currency swaps outstanding with a notional value of $1.42 billion at December 31, 2025 and cross-currency swaps outstanding with a notional value of $759.8 million at December 31, 2024. The Company estimates that a 10% adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate would result in a
$157.3
million and
$73.7
million decrease in the fair value of the swap agreements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Harley-Davidson, Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Harley-Davidson, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) and our report dated February 26, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Harley-Davidson, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Harley-Davidson, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework),
and our report dated February 26, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates.
59
Transfer of Financial Assets – Refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements
Description of the Matter
The Company entered into a retail finance receivables sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) to sell a significant portion of its retail finance receivables portfolio and to sell the majority of its residual interests in certain of the securitization trusts that are collateralized by the Company’s retail finance receivables. Upon entry into the Sales Agreement, the Company sold $4.2 billion of retail finance receivables and sold 95% of its residual interests in each securitization trust (collectively, the “financial assets”). The Company accounted for the Sales Agreement transaction as a sale of financial assets, with the associated finance receivables and securitization interests derecognized from the Company’s Balance Sheet.
We identified the accounting for the Sales Agreement transactions as a critical audit matter because of the complexity in determining whether the finance receivables and residual securitization interests have been isolated from the Company and whether the Company has transferred control of the assets such that the transfers should be accounted for as sales of financial assets.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of management's controls over the transfer of the financial assets for the Sales Agreement transactions, including management’s controls over the evaluation of the terms of the Sales Agreement documents and other accompanying agreements.
We evaluated the Company’s determination of the sales of the financial assets by evaluating, among other factors, if the transferred financial assets have been isolated from the Company and the Company has transferred control of the financial assets. Specifically, our procedures included, among others, obtaining and evaluating opinions from outside legal counsel and evaluating whether the financial assets have been appropriately isolated from the Company, and obtaining the executed Sales Agreement and evaluating whether the Company assigned its rights, titles, interests, claims, and demands to the third-party assignees, and whether the Company retained any rights with respect to the payments assigned to the third-party assignees.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
– All references to the “Company” include Harley-Davidson, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harley-Davidson, Inc., 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 controlling equity interests in LiveWire Group, Inc. and Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. As the controlling shareholder, the Company consolidates LiveWire Group, Inc. and Harley-Davidson Financial Services, 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 resulting from foreign currency remeasurements was $
1.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The aggregate transaction loss resulting from foreign currency remeasurements was $
9.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The aggregate transaction gain resulting from foreign currency remeasurements was $
14.7
million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Use of Estimates
– The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
– The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable, net
– The Company’s motorcycles and related products are sold to independent dealers outside the U.S. and Canada generally on open account and the resulting receivables are included in
Accounts receivable, net
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
.
The allowance for doubtful accounts deducted from total accounts receivable was $
5.8
million and $
3.4
million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company applies the practical expedient in
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
, to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The practical expedient allows the Company to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses accounted for under Topic 606. The Company’s evaluation of the allowance for doubtful accounts includes a review to identify non-performing accounts which are evaluated individually. The remaining accounts receivable balances are evaluated in the aggregate based on an aging analysis. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on factors including past loss experience, the value of collateral, and if applicable, reasonable and supportable economic forecasts. Accounts receivable are written down once management determines that the specific customer does not have the ability to repay the balance in full. The Company’s sales of motorcycles and related products in the U.S. and Canada are financed through HDFS by the purchasing dealers and the related receivables are included in
Finance receivables, net
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
.
Inventories, net
– Substantially all inventories located in the U.S. are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Other inventories totaling $
376.8
million and $
395.5
million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Repossessed Inventory
– Repossessed inventory representing recovered collateral on impaired finance receivables is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value through a fair value remeasurement. In the period during which the collateral is repossessed, the related finance receivable is adjusted through a change to the allowance for credit losses and reclassified to repossessed inventory, included in
Other current assets
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
.
67
Property, Plant and Equipment, net
– Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of each class of property, plant and equipment generally consist of
30
years for buildings,
7
years for building and land improvements,
3
to
10
years for machinery and equipment, and
3
to
7
years for software. Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for income tax purposes.
Goodwill
– Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets purchased. Goodwill is tested for impairment, based on financial data related to the reporting unit to which it has been assigned, at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, limited to the total goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. During 2025 and 2024, the Company tested its goodwill balances for impairment and no adjustments were recorded to goodwill as a result of those reviews.
Long-lived Assets
– The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant such review. If the carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset for assets to be held and used. The Company also reviews the useful life of its long-lived assets when events and circumstances indicate that the actual useful life may be shorter than originally estimated. In the event that the actual useful life is deemed to be shorter than the original useful life, depreciation is adjusted prospectively so that the remaining book value is depreciated over the revised useful life.
Asset groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, and a loss is recognized for any initial adjustment required to reduce the carrying amount to the fair value less cost to sell in the period the held for sale criteria are met. The fair value less cost to sell is assessed each reporting period that the asset group remains classified as held for sale. Gains or losses not previously recognized resulting from the sale of an asset group will be recognized on the date of sale.
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.
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.
Refer to Notes 12 and 14 for further discussion regarding the Company's assets measured at fair value.
Research and Development Expenses
– Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvements are charged against income as incurred and included within
Selling, administrative and engineering expense
on the
Consolidated statements of operations
.
Research and development expenses for HDMC were $
154.3
million, $
161.0
million and $
159.3
million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Research and development expenses for LiveWire were $
23.9
million, $
41.7
million and $
54.1
million for 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Research and development expenses for HDFS were not material in 2025, 2024 or 2023.
Advertising Costs
– The Company expenses the production cost of advertising the first time the advertising takes place within
Selling, administrative and engineering expense
. Advertising costs relate to the Company’s efforts to promote its products and brands through the use of media and other means.
During 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred $
184.7
million, $
136.7
million and $
131.0
million in advertising costs, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
– The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as a component of
Motorcycles and related products cost of goods sold
.

New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
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 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 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 Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is reflected in Note 3 of the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which is intended to reduce complexity related to estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract asset balances accounted for under Topic 606
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
. The main provision of ASU 2025-05 applicable to the Company provides a practical expedient that allows all entities to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date will not change for the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses accounted for under Topic 606. The Company early adopted ASU 2025-05 on December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 is reflected in Note 1 of the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures and did not have a material impact on the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which is intended to improve the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). The main provisions of ASU 2024-03 require a public entity at each interim and annual reporting period to (i) disclose the amounts of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion included in each relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations, (ii) include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements, (iii) disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and (iv) disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)
Clarifying the Effective Date
, which is intended to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, the new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs. The main provisions of ASU 2025-06 remove all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages and require capitalization of software costs when both (a) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (b) it is probable the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended (the "probable-to-complete recognition threshold"). In evaluating the probable-to-complete recognition threshold, consideration is given to whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software ("significant development uncertainty"). Significant development uncertainty considers whether (a) the software being developed has technological innovations or novel, unique, or unproven functions or features, and the uncertainty related to those technological innovations, functions, or features, if identified, have not been resolved through coding and testing and (b) a determination has been made regarding what the software needs to do (for example, functions or features), including whether the software's significant performance requirements have been identified or are being substantially revised. The new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within the fiscal year the new guidance is adopted. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an annual reporting period. If elected, the amendments in ASU 2025-06 can be applied using a prospective transition
69
approach, a modified transition approach, or a retrospective transition approach. Under a prospective transition approach, the new guidance would apply to new software costs incurred as of the beginning of the period of adoption for all projects, including in-process projects. Under a modified transition approach, the new guidance would be applied on a prospective basis to new software costs incurred (for all projects, including costs incurred for in-process projects), except for in-process projects that, as of the date of adoption, do not meet the capitalization requirements under the new guidance but meet the capitalization requirements under prior guidance. For those in-process projects, any capitalized costs should be derecognized through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) as of the date of adoption. Under a retrospective transition approach, comparative periods would be recast to reflect the new guidance with a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets in the statement of financial position) as of the beginning of the first period presented. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2025-06 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements, which is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity's risk management activities. The main provisions of ASU 2025-09 (i) permit a similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges of groups of forecasted transactions, (ii) facilitate the application of cash flow hedge accounting to forecasted interest payments on choose-your-rate debt instruments, (iii) expand and clarify the application of hedge accounting for certain nonfinancial forecasted transactions, (iv) expand the use of net written options as hedging instruments when specified criteria are met, and (v) permit a foreign-currency-denominated debt instrument to be designated simultaneously as both a hedging instrument and a hedged item in certain dual hedge relationships. The amendments in ASU 2025-09 should be applied on a prospective basis for all hedging instruments. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2025-09 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which establishes authoritative guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. The main provisions of ASU 2025-10 require that a government grant received by business entities should not be recognized until it is probable that the conditions attached to the grant will be met and the grant will be received, and to present grants in the financial statements in a manner that depicts the nature of the assistance and the related costs the grants are intended to offset. The amendments in ASU 2025-10 can be applied using one of the following three transition approaches: (i) modified prospective approach to government grants entered into on or after the effective date and government grants not completed as of the effective date, (ii) modified retrospective approach to government grants entered into on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented and government grants not completed as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, or (iii) retrospective approach to all government grants through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2025-10 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which amends interim reporting guidance by improving the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifying when the interim reporting guidance is applicable. The main provisions of ASU 2025-11 primarily address the timing and consistency of interim disclosures, including clarification of when disclosures are required to be updated in interim periods and how certain year-to-date information should be presented. In addition, the amendments add to Topic 270 a principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 can be applied on either a prospective basis or a retrospective basis to any and all prior periods presented. This guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is still evaluating the impact ASU 2025-11 will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

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.

Motorcycles and Related Products Revenue (HDMC and LiveWire Segments)
Motorcycles, Electric Bikes, Parts and Accessories, and Apparel
– Revenues from the sale of motorcycles, electric bikes, parts and accessories, and apparel are recorded when control is transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment to independent dealers and distributors or at the time of delivery to retail customers. The sale of products to independent dealers outside the U.S. and Canada is generally on open account with terms that approximate
30
-
120
days and the resulting receivables are included in
Accounts receivable, net
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
. The sale of products to independent dealers in the U.S. and Canada is financed through HDFS and the related receivables are included in
Finance receivables held for investment, net
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
.
The Company may offer sales incentive programs to dealers and retail customers designed to promote the sale of motorcycles, parts and accessories, and apparel. The Company estimates its variable consideration sold under its sales incentive programs using the expected value method. The Company accounts for consideration payable to a customer as part of its sales incentives as a reduction of revenue, which is accrued at the later of the date the related sale is recorded or the date the incentive program is both approved and communicated.
The Company offers the right to return eligible parts and accessories and apparel. When the Company offers a right to return, it estimates returns based on an analysis of historical trends and records revenue on the initial sale only in the amount that it expects to be entitled. The remaining consideration is deferred in a refund liability account. The refund liability is remeasured for changes in the estimate at each reporting date with a corresponding adjustment to revenue.
Variable consideration related to sales incentives and rights to return is adjusted at the earliest of when the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive changes or the consideration becomes fixed. Adjustments for variable consideration related to previously recognized sales were not material during any periods presented.
Shipping and handling costs associated with freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs. The Company accrues for the shipping and handling in the same period that the related revenue is recognized.
The Company offers standard, limited warranties on its motorcycles, electric bikes and parts and accessories. These warranties provide assurance that the product will function as expected and are not separate performance obligations. The Company accounts for estimated warranty costs as a liability when control of the product transfers to the customer.
Licensing
– The Company licenses the Harley-Davidson name and other trademarks owned by the Company and collects royalties from its licensees. The trademark licenses are considered symbolic intellectual property, which grant the licensees a right to access the Company’s intellectual property. The Company satisfies its performance obligation over the license period, as the Company fulfills its promise to grant the licensees rights to use and benefit from the intellectual property as well as maintain the intellectual property.
71
Payment is typically due within
thirty days
of the end of each quarter for the royalties earned in that quarter. Revenue, in the form of sales-based royalties, is recognized when the licensees’ subsequent sales occur. The Company applies the practical expedient in
ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
, to recognize licensing revenues in the amount that the Company has the right to invoice because the royalties due each period correspond directly with the value of the Company’s performance to date. Revenue will be recognized over the remaining contract terms which range up to
5
years.
Other
– Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from membership sales, museum admissions and events, and other miscellaneous products and services.
Financial Services Revenue (HDFS Segment)
Interest Income
– Interest income on finance receivables is recorded as earned and is based on the average outstanding daily balance for wholesale and retail receivables. Accrued and uncollected interest is classified within
Finance receivables held for investment, net
and
Finance receivables held for sale, net
. Certain loan origination costs related to
finance receivables
held for investment
,
net,
including payments made to dealers for certain retail loans, are deferred and recorded within
Finance receivables held for investment, net
and amortized over the life of the contract. Deferred loan fees and costs are not amortized on loans in held for sale status; any deferred balances are included in any subsequent gain or loss on sale of the associated finance receivables.
Other Income
– Other income includes insurance, licensing and servicing fee revenues. HDFS works with certain unaffiliated third parties to offer motorcycle insurance and voluntary protection products through most dealers in the U.S. and Canada. Eaglemark Insurance Company Ltd. (EICL), the Company's insurance captive, reinsures several of these Harley-Davidson-branded voluntary protection products provided by unaffiliated third parties. HDFS also works with third-party financial institutions that issue credit cards or offer other financial products bearing the Harley-Davidson brand in the U.S. and internationally. For many of these contracts, the Company grants temporary rights to use the licensed trademarks owned by the Company and collects royalties from its customers in connection with sales of their products. The trademark licenses are considered symbolic intellectual property, which grant the customer a right to access the intellectual property. The Company satisfies its performance obligation over the license period, as it fulfills its promise to grant the customer rights to use and benefit from the intellectual property as well as maintain the intellectual property. Royalty and profit sharing amounts are received either quarterly or per annum, based upon the contract. Revenue, in the form of sales-based royalties, is recognized when the customers’ subsequent sales occur. Revenue will be recognized over the remaining contract terms which range up to
6
years. The Company is the primary obligor for certain other voluntary protection product contracts and as a result, revenue is recognized over the life of the contract as the Company fulfills its performance obligation. HDFS earns servicing fees over the period it services retail finance receivables sold to external parties. The servicing fee income earned by HDFS is determined based upon a fixed rate per annum for prime loans and subprime loans applied to the amount of loans outstanding.
During 2025, HDFS earned fees for servicing finance receivables owned by external parties as a result of the HDFS Transaction discussed more fully in
Note 6
and
Note 11
of the
Notes to Consolidated financial statements
. Other income included $
20.3
million of servicing fee income for 2025.
Additionally, other income includes the gain on sale of securitization beneficial interests. As discussed in
Note 5 and Note 11
of the
Notes to Consolidated financial statements,
the Company consolidated certain SPEs, which were considered VIEs under U.S. GAAP and which held certain assets and liabilities, including finance receivables, restricted cash, and debt. In the third quarter of 2025, HDFS entered into a transaction that included the sale of
95
% of its residual interests in retail finance receivables that were previously transferred to certain SPEs through on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions. This sale of securitization beneficial interests resulted in the deconsolidation of assets and liabilities held by certain SPEs under U.S. GAAP. The sale of securitization beneficial interests resulted in a gain on the sale of $
27.9
million.
Contract Liabilities
The Company maintains certain contract liability balances related to payments received at contract inception in advance of the Company’s performance under the contract and generally relates to the sale of memberships and certain insurance-related contracts, including unearned premiums collected by EICL. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as the Company performs under the contract.
Contract liabilities, included in
Accrued liabilities
and
Other long-term liabilities
on the
Consolidated balance sheets

Contract liabilities increased by approximately $
39.1
million during the year ended December 31, 2025.
The majority of this increase was due to growth in unearned premiums at EICL due to an increase in contracts held by EICL during the year.
Previously deferred contract liabilities recognized as revenue in 2025 and 2024 were $
32.1
million and $
29.1
million, respectively. The Company expects to recognize approximately $
34.7
million of the remaining unearned revenue in 2026 and $
61.1
million thereafter.

Effective tax rate
$
129,577
28.2
%
(a)
State taxes in Wisconsin made up the majority (greater than 50%) of the tax effect in this category.
The Company's effective tax rate of
28.2
% for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in federal, state and foreign valuation allowances and a global minimum tax provision, partially offset by tax benefits related to federal tax credits and Thailand tax holidays.
On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the OBBB Act), was enacted in the United States. The Act introduced several tax law changes relevant to the manufacturing industry. Key provisions include the restoration of 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property, expanded interest deductibility under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 163(j) and other international tax reforms affecting global supply chains and cross‑border operations. The OBBB Act also reinstates immediate expensing for domestic research and development expenditures for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, reversing prior rules that required capitalization and amortization of such costs. These provisions do not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate for the periods presented.
As previously disclosed for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, prior to the adoption of ASU 2023-09, the effective income tax rate differs from the statutory federal income tax rate as follows:

The Company's effective tax rates of
13.9
% and
19.8
% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, reflect tax benefits related to federal research and development tax credits and Thailand tax holidays.
The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act subjects U.S. shareholders to current tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries for which a company can elect to either recognize deferred taxes or to provide tax expense in the year incurred. The Company has elected to account for GILTI in the year the tax is incurred.
The Company qualifies for certain tax holidays in Thailand if certain employment and manufacturing criteria are met. The impact of the tax holiday decreased foreign taxes by $
15.1
million, $
16.6
million and $
13.0
million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the tax holidays have expected expiration periods between 2026 and 2027. The benefit of the tax holiday on net income per share (diluted) was $
0.12
, $
0.12
and $
0.09
in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Company continues to monitor the implementation of the global minimum tax provision pursuant to OECD Pillar Two GloBE rules (Pillar Two) in jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company has included a provision of $
8.8
million related to the global minimum tax for Thailand in its consolidated financial statements.

The Company reviews its deferred income tax asset valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a review is required. In determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred income tax asset is considered, along with any positive or negative evidence, including tax law changes. Since future financial results and tax law may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowances may be necessary.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $
14.1
million and $
10.3
million, respectively.
The total gross amount of benefit related to interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits recognized in the
Consolidated statements of operations
was a net expense of $
1.0
million and $
0.7
million during 2025 and 2024, respectively, and a net benefit of $
8.7
million during 2023.
The total gross amount of interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits recognized at December 31, 2025 and 2024 in the
Consolidated balance sheets
was $
8.9
million and $
7.1
million, respectively.
The Company does not expect a significant increase or decrease to the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits related to continuing operations during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. However, the Company is under regular audit by tax authorities. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns and that its annual tax provision includes amounts sufficient to pay any assessments. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.
The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and Wisconsin state jurisdictions and various other state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for Wisconsin state income taxes before 2020 or for U.S. federal income taxes before 2019. In all other jurisdictions, tax periods prior to 2018 are closed.

On November 5, 2025, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (Goldman) to repurchase an aggregate of $
200
million of the Company’s shares of common stock. Under the ASR, the Company paid $

Represents HDFS earnings held by non-controlling interest holders which was adjusted to arrive at net income attributable to Harley-Davidson, Inc. on a dilutive basis as the dilutive earnings per share calculation assumes the securities held by non-controlling interest holders that can be exchanged for Harley-Davidson, Inc. shares were exchanged for Harley-Davidson, Inc. shares as of the time of issuance under U.S. GAAP.
The Company's dilutive securities relate to its employee stock compensation plan as well as securities representing a
9.8
% non-controlling interest in the HDFS business that can be exchanged for Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock. The dilutive securities related to the HDFS non-controlling interests can be exchanged for Harley-Davidson common stock based on the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock and a multiple of approximately
1.75
x HDFS post-transaction equity carrying value. The non-controlling interest holders may exchange their interests beginning in the fourth quarter of 2032 or in the event of a change of control of Harley-Davidson, Inc. The number of shares received by the non-controlling interest holders cannot exceed
4.9
% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2028, the Company has the right to repurchase the counterparties' ownership interests in HDFS using cash that would otherwise be available to the Company in the form of a dividend from HDFS; however, the Company may not purchase any more than one-third of the counterparties' HDFS ownership in an individual year.
Shares of common stock related to share-based compensation that were not included in the effect of dilutive securities because the effect would have been anti-dilutive include
1.8
million,
0.8

1.0

- In the third quarter of 2025, HDFS entered into the HDFS Transaction which included the sale of finance receivables as discussed in
Note 6
of the
Notes to Consolidated financial statements.
Included in this sale were receivables that HDFS repurchased in October 2025 from a VIE that had been deconsolidated in conjunction with the sale of securitization beneficial interests discussed below. The cash outflow related to this repurchase, which was equal to the outstanding principal and interest, is reflected within the
Originations and purchases of finance receivables held for sale
in the
Consolidated statement of cash flows
. The proceeds from the subsequent sale, along with the remainder of the proceeds from the sale of finance receivables that were originated with the intent to sell and subsequently sold as part of the HDFS Transaction, are included in
Proceeds from sale of finance receivables held for sale
on the
Consolidated statement of cash flows

Gain on sale of securitization beneficial interests
–
As discussed in
Note 11
of the
Notes to Consolidated financial statements
, the Company consolidates certain SPEs, which are considered VIEs under U.S. GAAP and which hold certain assets and liabilities, including finance receivables, restricted cash, and debt. As part of the HDFS Transaction, the Company sold
95
% of its residual interests in retail finance receivables that were previously transferred to certain SPEs through on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions. This sale of securitization beneficial interests resulted in the deconsolidation of assets and liabilities held by certain SPEs under U.S. GAAP. The sale of securitization beneficial interests resulted in the non-cash deconsolidation of $
1.87
billion of
Finance receivables held for investment, net
and $
1.67
billion of asset-backed securitization debt held by the VIEs that were previously consolidated. As a result of the sale of securitization beneficial interests, the Company received $
234.6
million in cash consideration. On the
Consolidated statements of cash flows
, this amount was reduced by $
109.2
million of restricted cash that was deconsolidated, resulting in a $
125.4
million of net cash inflow included within
Proceeds from sale of securitization beneficial interests, net
within
Cash flows from investing activities
on the
Consolidated statements of cash flows
. The sale of securitization beneficial interests also resulted in a gain on the sale of $

Finance Receivables
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. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately
10
% and
11
%, respectively, of gross outstanding retail finance receivables were originated in Texas. There were no other states that accounted for more than 10% of gross outstanding retail finance receivables.
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.
As discussed in
Note 5
of the
Notes to Consolidated financial statements
, the Company entered into the HDFS Transaction during the third quarter of 2025. This transaction had the following key aspects:
•
Sale of Securitization Beneficial Interests
: In the third quarter of 2025, the Company sold
95
% of its residual interests in retail finance receivables that were previously transferred to certain SPEs through on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions to the
two
counterparties. The impacts of this component of the transaction are discussed more fully within this Note, as well as in
Notes 5, 11
and
12
of the
Notes to Consolidated financial statements
.
•
Sale of Retail Finance Receivables
: In the third quarter of 2025, the Company agreed to sell the majority of its retail finance receivables to the
two
counterparties. Accordingly, the Company reclassified those retail finance receivables at the time of the agreement to
Finance receivables held for sale, net
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
, which resulted in a benefit from the release of the allowance for credit losses on this portfolio of retail finance receivables as discussed more fully within this Note. In October 2025, the Company completed the sale of these retail finance receivables. In order to facilitate the sale of the remaining finance receivables that were previously subject to on-balance sheet asset-backed financing as described in
Note 11
, in advance of the sale of retail finance receivables, the Company redeemed, in full, the related asset-backed debt associated with the asset-backed securitizations, asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduit facility, and asset-backed Canadian commercial paper conduit facility.
•
Sale of On-Going Retail Finance Receivable Originations
: In October 2025, the Company completed the closing of its agreement to sell up to two-thirds of future retail loan originations over the next
five years
to the
two
counterparties (Forward Flow Agreement). HDFS will continue to service the future retail loan originations it sells to the counterparties and earn a loan servicing fee. In December 2025, HDFS completed the sale of a portion of its retail loan originations as part of the Forward Flow Agreement. As a result, the Company derecognized $
93.8
million of receivables.
•
Equity Investment in HDFS
: During the fourth quarter, each of the counterparties paid $
23.3
million cash to acquire
4.9
% of HDFS based on a multiple of approximately
1.75
x HDFS's post-transaction equity carrying value for a total of
9.8
% of HDFS.
Seven years
after closing the transaction or in the event of a change of control of Harley-Davidson, Inc. or HDFS, each counterparty will have the right to exchange its HDFS ownership interest for Harley-Davidson common stock.
Three years
after closing the transaction, the Company has the right to repurchase the counterparties' ownership interests in HDFS using cash that would otherwise be available to the Company in the
82
form of a dividend from HDFS; however, the Company may not purchase any more than one-third of the counterparties' HDFS ownership in an individual year. As a result of the counterparties' acquisition of HDFS stock, the Company has a non-controlling interest that participates in
9.8
% of HDFS's earnings.
Finance receivables held for investment, net
includes both retail and wholesale finance receivables, including amounts held by consolidated VIEs, which management has the intent and ability to hold. Finance receivables held for investment are recorded in the financial statements at amortized cost net of an allowance for credit losses as appropriate.
Finance receivables held for sale, net
includes retail finance receivables that management intends to sell. When finance receivables are reclassified from held for investment to held for sale, the previously recorded allowance for credit losses related to those receivables is reversed. Finance receivables transferred to, or originated as, held for sale are measured at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. If fair value is less than amortized cost, a valuation allowance is recorded through
Financial services revenue
in the
Consolidated statements of operations
. The valuation allowance is reassessed each reporting period and adjusted to reflect changes in the difference between amortized cost and the estimated selling price of the receivables.
Amortized cost for finance receivables held for investment and held for sale includes the principal outstanding, accrued interest, and deferred loan fees and costs. Deferred loan fee and cost amortization associated with loans held for investment is included within
Financial services revenue
on the
Consolidated statements of operations
. Amortization of deferred loan fees and costs is terminated at the time a loan is reclassified to held for sale status and any remaining deferred balances are included in any subsequent gain or loss on sale of the associated finance receivables.
As a result of the HDFS Transaction, during the third quarter of 2025, the allowance for credit losses on the portfolio of retail finance receivables was released in conjunction with the reclassification of $
4.08
billion of retail finance receivables from held for investment to held for sale status, resulting in a benefit to the provision expense of $
338.2
million. In addition, $
75.5
million was released from the allowance for credit losses and included in the gain on the sale of securitization beneficial interests. The release of the allowance for credit losses resulted in an asset balance in the retail allowance for credit losses as estimated recoveries from retail finance receivables previously charged-off exceeded the remaining allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment at the end of 2025.

The Company's allowance for credit losses reflects expected lifetime credit losses, net of expected recoveries, on its finance receivables held for investment. Based on differences in the nature of the finance receivables held for investment 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 weighted-average remaining maturity and vintage-based loss forecast methodologies. Vintage-based forecasts include decompositions for probability of default, exposure at default, attrition rate, and recovery balance rate. Reasonable and supportable economic forecasts for a
one
- or
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 reasonable and supportable period. For periods beyond the Company’s reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company reverts to its average historical loss experience immediately or 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 2025, 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 may include motorcycle recovery value considerations, delinquency adjustments, specific problem loan trends, or changes in other portfolio-specific loan characteristics as appropriate.
Due to the use of projections and assumptions in estimating the losses, the amount of losses actually 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 management’s expectations surrounding the economic forecasts. The Company will continue to monitor future economic trends and conditions. Expectations surrounding the Company's economic forecasts may change in future periods as additional information becomes available.

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 being probable of going into foreclosure 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 on a quarterly basis.
The amortized cost of wholesale finance receivables, by vintage and credit quality indicator, was as follows (in thousands):

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. All retail finance receivables accrue interest until either collected or charged-off. The Company reverses accrued interest related to charged-off accounts against
Financial services interest income
when the account is charged-off. The Company reversed
$
24.7
million and
$
33.0
million
of
accrued interest against
Financial services interest income
during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Due to the timely write-off of accrued interest, the Company made the election provided under
ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses
to exclude accrued interest from its allowance for credit losses. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all retail finance receivables were accounted for as interest-earning receivables, of which $
5.8
million and $
64.7
million
, re
spectively, were 90 days or more past due.
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
Financial services interest income
. As the Company follows a non-accrual policy for interest, the allowance for credit losses excludes accrued interest for the wholesale portfolio. The Company reversed $
2.1
million and $
0.2
million of accrued interest against Financial services interest income during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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 December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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.

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 or to mitigate the risk of declining interest rates associated with anticipated debt retirements. The Company also utilizes cross-currency swaps to mitigate the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency-denominated debt and 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 instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship.
89
Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in
Other comprehensive income
(OCI) and subsequently reclassified into income when the hedged item affects 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 flow.

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.
9.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. Right-of-use (ROU) assets related to the Company's leases are recorded in
Lease assets
and lease liabilities are recorded in
Accrued liabilities
and
Lease liability
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset over the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The ROU asset also includes prepaid lease payments and initial direct costs and is reduced for lease incentives paid by the lessor. The discount rate used to determine the present value is generally the Company's incremental borrowing rate because the implicit rate in the lease is not readily determinable. The lease term used to calculate the ROU asset and lease liabilities includes periods covered by options to extend or terminate when the Company is reasonably certain the lease term will include these optional periods.
In accordance with
ASC Topic 842, Leases
(ASC Topic 842),
the Company elected the short-term lease practical expedient that allows entities to recognize lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term for leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company has also elected the practical expedient under ASC Topic 842 allowing entities to not separate non-lease components from lease components, but instead account for such components as a single lease component for all leases except leases involving assets used in manufacturing and distribution processes.
The Company has operating lease arrangements for sales and administrative offices, manufacturing and distribution facilities, product testing facilities, equipment and vehicles. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms ranging from less than
1
year to
40
years, some of which include options to extend the lease term for periods generally not greater than
5
years and some of which include options to terminate the leases within
1
year. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased asset. The Company's leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Operating lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was $
26.8
million, $
28.1
million, and $
26.0
million, respectively. This includes variable lease costs related to assets used in manufacturing and distribution processes of approximately $
1.7
million, $
1.8
million, and $
3.2
million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Other variable and short-term lease costs were not material.

days from the issuance date. The weighted-average interest rate of outstanding commercial paper balances was
4.49
% and
5.13
% at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
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 Notes
– The fixed-rate U.S. dollar-denominated unsecured notes provide for semi-annual interest payments and the fixed-rate foreign currency-dominated unsecured notes provide for annual interest payments. Principal on the unsecured notes is due at maturity.
94
During June 2025, $
700.0
million of
3.35
% medium-term notes matured, and the principal and accrued interest were paid in full. During November 2024, €
600.0
million of
3.14
% medium-term notes matured, and the principal and accrued interest were paid in full.
Unsecured Note Redemptions —
During November 2025, the Company executed a tender offer for its $
700.0
million
6.50
% medium-term notes due 2028 and $
500.0
million
5.95
% medium-term notes due 2029, resulting in $
437.1
million and $
355.1
million of notes being redeemed, respectively. During December 2025, the Company executed a make-whole redemption resulting in the remaining $
262.9
million of medium-term notes due 2028 being redeemed. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of $
67.6
million, which included unamortized discounts and fees, within
Financial services interest expense
on the
Consolidated statements of operations.
Senior Notes and Term Loan
– 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, which had an interest rate of
3.50
%, matured in July 2025. $
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 July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a term loan facility that permitted the Company to draw up to $
450.0
million on or prior to July 31, 2025. On July 24, 2025, the Company drew $
450.0
million under the facility which carried an interest rate of term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a margin based on the Company's credit rating. The Company used the proceeds to pay down the principal and interest of the $
450.0
million
3.50
% senior notes that matured in July 2025. In November 2025, the Company used proceeds from the HDFS Transaction to pay down the principal and interest of the term loan facility in full. The facility included operating and financial covenants that are substantially the same as those described below and applicable under the Global Credit Facilities at the current credit rating levels for the Company's short-term and long-term debt.
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. The more significant covenants are described below.
The operating covenants limit the Company’s and Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc.'s ability to:
•
Assume or incur certain liens;
•
Participate in certain mergers or consolidations; and
•
Purchase or hold margin stock.
Under the current financial covenants of the Global Credit Facilities, the ratio of Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc.’s consolidated debt, excluding secured debt, to Harley-Davidson Financial Services' consolidated allowance for credit losses on finance receivables plus Harley-Davidson Financial Services Inc’s consolidated shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), cannot exceed
10.0
to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. 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.
At December 31, 2025 and 2024, Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. and the Company remained in compliance with all of the then existing covenants.
11.
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 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-
95
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.
The Company had no assets or liabilities related to on-balance sheet asset-backed financings included in the
Consolidated balance sheets
at December 31, 2025.
The assets and liabilities related to the on-balance sheet asset-backed financings included in the

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Securitization VIEs
– The Company transfers U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs which 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 Company is the primary beneficiary of its on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization VIEs because it is the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the VIE.

After deconsolidating certain VIEs in conjunction with the HDFS Transaction, the Company had one on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization remaining that was repaid in full during 2025. There were no on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization secured notes repaid during 2024.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, interest expense on borrowings on the secured notes was $
50.9
million and $
92.5
million, respectively, which is included in
Financial services interest expense
. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions at December 31, 2024 was

%.
On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed U.S. Commercial Paper Conduit Facility VIE
– In October 2025, the Company renewed its $
1.50
billion revolving credit 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. Availability under the U.S. Conduit Facility is based on, among other things, the amount and credit performance of eligible U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables held by the SPE as collateral. In addition to extending the term of the U.S. Conduit Facility, the October 2025 amendment updated the fee structure and finance receivable take-out provisions to better align with ongoing HDFS funding needs, including for the Forward Flow Agreement that formed part of the HDFS Transaction.
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. 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. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of December 31, 2025, the U.S. Conduit Facility has an expiration date of October 30, 2026.
The Company is the primary beneficiary of its U.S. Conduit Facility VIE because it is the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the VIE.

. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding U.S. Conduit Facility was

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility
– In June 2025, 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. The transferred assets are restricted as collateral for the payment of the associated debt. Availability under the Canadian Conduit is based on, among other things, the amount and credit performance of eligible Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables held as collateral.
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. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of December 31, 2025, the Canadian Conduit had an expiration date of June 30, 2026.
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 is limited to the value of the Company's finance receivables held within the VIE. Accordingly, the Company did not have any exposure loss at December 31, 2025.
There were
no
finance receivable transfers under the Canadian Conduit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Financing
- During the third quarter of 2025, HDFS completed the sale of certain securitization beneficial interests to
two
counterparties as part of the HDFS Transaction. As a result, the Company determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of the associated VIEs. Accordingly, the VIEs were deconsolidated during the third quarter of 2025 as the transfers of loans that occurred at the inception of each VIE met the criteria for an accounting sale under ASC 860. The sales of the securitization beneficial interests have been aggregated for purposes of the disclosures below.
In conjunction with the sale of these beneficial interests, the Company received $
234.6
million cash ($
125.4
million, net of restricted cash deconsolidated) and recorded a gain on sale of $
27.9
million within
Financial services revenue
on the
Consolidated statements of operations
during 2025. Additionally, the Company recorded an investment in a
5
% interest in all notes (Retained Notes) previously issued by the VIEs that were deconsolidated, in accordance with Regulation RR of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Regulation RR). The Company is prevented from transferring the Retained Notes due to risk retention rules in Regulation RR. The Company also retained an investment in
5
% of the residual cash flows of the deconsolidated VIEs (Residual Interests). The investments in Retained Notes and Residual Interests, which are collectively the retained securitization beneficial interests, are recorded within
Other current assets
and
Other long-term assets
on the
Consolidated balance sheets
. The Company had no other assets or liabilities related to its continuing involvement with the off-balance sheet VIEs as of December 31, 2025. Refer to
Note 12
of the
Notes to Consolidated financial statements
for further information about the valuation and classification of these investments.
Cash flows from the Residual Interests, if any, arise from collections on U.S. retail motorcycle loans sold to the securitization trust, less servicing fees, credit losses, and contracted payment obligations owed to securitization trust investors. The investments in Residual Interests and investments in Retained Notes balances are classified as available for sale (AFS) securities and, accordingly, are held at fair value remeasured through OCI in the
Consolidated statements of comprehensive income
until realized. Unrealized losses are reclassified to
Financial services revenue
on the
Consolidated statements of operations
if the Company intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of the unrealized loss. Realized gains or losses are recorded in
Financial services revenue
on the
Consolidated statements of operations
. The Company evaluates the investments in Residual Interests and investments in Retained Notes for impairment on a quarterly basis. Cash flows from the Residual Interests and Retained Notes are presented within
Collections of retained securitization beneficial interests
on the
Consolidated statement of cash flows
. The Company's interest in residual cash flows is subject primarily to the credit risk and prepayment risk inherent in the underlying finance receivables. Retained Notes have a stated principal and interest rate and are senior securities within the VIEs. As the Company participates in and does not consolidate the off-balance sheet VIEs, the maximum exposure to loss associated with these VIEs, which would only be incurred in the unlikely event that all the finance receivables and underlying collateral have no residual value, was $
78.3
million at December 31, 2025.
The Company retained servicing rights on the U.S. retail motorcycle loans within the deconsolidated VIEs for which it will receive servicing fees of
1
% per annum. The servicing fees paid to the Company are considered adequate compensation for the services provided and therefore no servicing asset or liability has been recorded. Servicing and related fee income is included in
Financial services revenue
on the
Consolidated statements of operations
as earned. The Company recorded $
8.5
million from contractually-specified servicing, late, and ancillary fees during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Investments in Retained Notes and Residual Interests
–
As discussed in
Note 11
of the
Notes to Consolidated financial statements
, the Company recorded investments in Retained Notes and Residual Interests in off-balance sheet VIEs. The initial fair value of the Retained Notes was $
88.6
million and was estimated based on pricing currently available for transactions with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 inputs). The initial fair value of the Residual Interests was $
12.3
million based on a discounted cash flow calculation using the key assumptions below (Level 3 inputs). Both investments are classified as AFS securities and, accordingly, are held at fair value remeasured through OCI in the
Statements of comprehensive income
.

The initial and current period fair values of the Residual Interests were calculated using the following ranges of key assumptions:

Additionally, the fair value assumes that the Company, as servicer, does not exercise its option to purchase the underlying receivables at the earliest distribution date on which it is permitted to do so.
The sensitivity of the fair value to immediate adverse changes in the key assumptions for the investment in Residual Interests at December 31, 2025 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of change in assumption to change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in these tables, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the retained interest is calculated independently from any change in another assumption.

The Company uses the market approach to derive the fair value for its derivative financial instruments (Level 2). 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 has outstanding warrants to purchase the common stock of LiveWire Group, Inc. comprised of public (Level 1) and private placement (Level 2) warrants. The private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are economically similar to those of the public warrants. The fair value of the public and private placement warrants is determined using the closing market price of the public warrants. The warrants entitle the registered warrant holder to purchase
one
share of LiveWire common stock at a price of $
11.50
per share and expire
five years
from the completion of the LiveWire business combination that occurred in 2022.

Finance Receivables held for sale, net -
The carrying value of retail finance receivables held for sale is the lower of amortized cost or fair value. The fair value of finance receivables held for sale was based on the estimated selling price of the receivables (Level 2 inputs).
Finance Receivables held for investment, net
– The carrying value of retail and wholesale finance receivables held for investment 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 term loan, 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.

Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns
The Company currently provides a standard
two-year
limited warranty on all new motorcycles sold worldwide, except in Japan, where the Company currently provides a standard
three-year
limited warranty. The Company also provides a
five-year
unlimited 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.
103
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 liabilities are included in
Accrued liabilities
and
Other long-term liabilities

Employee Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company has a qualified defined benefit pension plan and postretirement healthcare benefit plans. The plans cover certain eligible employees and retirees of the HDMC segment. The Company also has unfunded supplemental employee retirement plan agreements (SERPA) with certain employees.
Pension benefits are based primarily on years of service and, for certain participants, levels of compensation. Plan participants are generally eligible to receive postretirement healthcare benefits upon attaining age
55
after rendering at least
10
years of service to the Company. Some of the plans require participant contributions to partially offset benefit costs.

During 2025, actuarial losses related to the obligation for pension and SERPA benefits were due primarily to a decrease in the discount rate. During 2024, actuarial gains related to the obligation for pension and SERPA benefits were due primarily to an increase in the discount rate and changes in other demographic assumptions.
During 2025, actuarial gains related to the obligation for postretirement healthcare benefits were due primarily to better than expected trends in Retirement Health Care Account (RHCA) drawdowns and claims costs, partially offset by a decrease in the discount rate. During 2024, actuarial gains related to the obligation for postretirement healthcare benefits were due primarily to an increase in the discount rate and better than expected trends in claim costs and RHCA drawdowns, partially offset by changes in other demographic assumptions.
The funded status of the qualified pension plan and the SERPA plans are combined above. The SERPA plans had projected benefit obligations (PBO) and accumulated benefit obligations (ABO) in excess of the fair value of plan assets at December 31, as presented below (in thousands):

The expected return on plan assets is calculated based on the market related value of plan assets. The market related value of plan assets is different from the fair value in that asset gains and losses are smoothed over a five-year period.
U
nrecognized gains and losses related to plan obligations and assets are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and result from actual experience that differs from assumed or expected results, and the impacts of changes in assumptions. Unrecognized plan asset gains and losses not yet reflected in the market related value of plan assets are not subject to amortization. Remaining unrecognized gains and losses that exceed 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market related value of plan assets are amortized to earnings over the estimated future service period of active plan participants. The impacts of plan amendments, if any, are amortized over the estimated future service period of plan participants at the time of the amendment.

Plan Assets:
Pension Plan Assets
– The Company’s investment objective is to ensure assets are sufficient to pay benefits while mitigating the volatility of retirement plan assets or liabilities recorded in the balance sheet. The Company mitigates volatility through asset diversification and partial asset/liability matching. The investment portfolio for the Company's pension plan assets contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed-income investments. The Company’s current overall targeted asset allocation as a percentage of total market value was
25
% equities and
75
% fixed-income and cash. Assets are rebalanced regularly to keep the actual allocation in line with targets. Equity holdings primarily include investments in small-, medium- and large-cap companies in the U.S., investments in developed and emerging foreign markets and other investments such as private equity and real estate. Fixed-income holdings consist of U.S. government and agency securities, state and municipal bonds, corporate bonds from diversified industries and foreign obligations. In addition, cash equivalent balances are maintained at levels adequate to meet near-term plan expenses and benefit payments. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews.
107
Postretirement Healthcare Plan Assets
– The Company's investment objective is to maximize the return on assets to help pay benefits by prudently investing in equities, fixed income and alternative assets. The Company's current overall targeted asset allocation as a percentage of total market value was
68
% equities and
32
% fixed-income and cash. Equity holdings primarily include investments in small-, medium- and large-cap companies in the U.S., investments in developed and emerging foreign markets and other investments such as private equity and real estate. Fixed-income holdings consist of U.S. government and agency securities, state and municipal bonds, corporate bonds from diversified industries and foreign obligations. In addition, cash equivalent balances are maintained at levels adequate to meet near-term plan expenses and benefit payments. Investment risk is measured and monitored on an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews.
The following tables present the fair values of the plan assets related to the Company’s pension and postretirement healthcare plans within the fair value hierarchy as defined in Note 1. Equity holdings are primarily exchange-traded and are valued based on quoted prices for identical securities. Fixed income holdings are generally measured at fair value using quoted prices for identical or similar securities. Certain assets measured are valued at fair value using the net asset value practical expedient and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

For 2026, the Company’s overall expected long-term rate of return is
6.30
% for pension assets and
7.40
% for postretirement healthcare plan assets. The expected long-term rate of return is based on the portfolio as a whole and not on the sum of the returns on individual asset categories. The return is based on historical returns adjusted to reflect the current view of the long-term investment market.

Future Contributions and Benefit Payments:
Based on the funded status of the qualified pension plan, there is no requirement for the Company to make contributions to the qualified pension plan in 2026. The Company expects that 2026 postretirement healthcare plan benefits and benefits due under the SERPA plans will be paid by the Company or, in the case of postretirement healthcare plan benefits, partially funded with plan assets.

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. Except for the Supply Matters discussed separately below, the Company believes there are no material exposures to loss in excess of amounts accrued.
Product Liability Matter
– In August 2024, a jury awarded approximately $
288
million in damages to the plaintiffs in a product lawsuit against the Company. In November 2024, the award for damages was reduced to $
81
million. The Company appealed and subsequently settled and fully resolved this matter during the third quarter of 2025, resulting in
no
remaining liability.
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.
112
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 $
140
million to $
450
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 from its suppliers.

Share-Based Awards
The Company has share-based compensation plans which were approved by its shareholders in April 2020 and May 2021 (the Plans) under which its Board of Directors may grant to employees share-based awards including restricted stock units (RSUs), performance shares, aspirational performance shares and nonqualified stock options. RSUs generally vest ratably over a
three-year
period. Performance shares include a
three-year
performance period with vesting based on achievement of internal performance targets and include a vesting component based on a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to a peer group. Aspirational performance shares would have been earned only to the extent the aspirational share price goals for the Company's stock were achieved by December 31, 2025. If a share price goal had been met, then
50
% of the associated aspirational performance shares would have vested and the remaining would have
50
% vested on the
one-year
anniversary of the date on which the share price goal was achieved. The aspirational share price goals were not met by December 31, 2025, so the shares did not vest. Dividend or dividend equivalents are paid on RSUs, performance shares and aspirational shares that ultimately vest. At December 31, 2025, there were
2.2
million shares of common stock available for future awards under the Plans.
The Company recognizes the cost of its share-based awards in the
Consolidated statements of operations
. The cost of each share-based equity award is based on the grant date fair value and the cost of each share-based cash-settled award is based on the settlement date fair value. Forfeitures for share-based awards are estimated at the grant date and adjusted when it is likely to change. Share-based award expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period for RSUs and for awards with performance conditions. The expense recognized reflects the number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest based on the service and, if applicable, performance requirements of each award. Total share-based award compensation expense recognized by the Company during 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $
31.7
million, $
49.0
million and $
82.9
million, respectively, or $
23.9
million, $
37.5
million and $
63.4
million net of taxes, respectively.
113
Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Aspirational Shares - Settled in Stock
– The fair value of RSUs and performance shares settled in stock that do not contain a market condition was determined based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of performance shares with a relative TSR market condition and aspirational performance shares was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The Monte Carlo simulation uses historical volatility to determine the expected volatility and a risk-free interest rate based on U.S. Treasury rates at the time of grant.
Assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the performance shares with a relative TSR market condition and the aspirational performance shares, by grant date, were as follows:

Reportable Segments and Geographic Information
The Company’s reportable segments and significant segment expenses are determined based on how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources for the Company.
The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s CODM. Operating income is the measure of profit and loss used by the CODM to assess performance and to decide how to allocate resources for each of the Company’s reportable segments.
Operating income is used to monitor actual results versus planned and prior period results for each segment based on their respective profitability objectives and business models. Operating income is also used to allocate human and capital resources among the reportable segments and to other corporate actions for returning capital to shareholders such as repurchasing common stock or paying dividends. Operating income is also a key metric used to establish and pay variable compensation to employees at all levels.
Reportable Segments
– The Company operates with
three
segments: Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC), LiveWire, and Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS). The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services and are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.
HDMC designs, manufactures and sells motorcycles and also sells motorcycle parts, accessories, and apparel as well as licenses its trademarks. HDMC’s products are sold to retail customers primarily through a network of independent dealers. HDMC conducts business on a global basis, with sales in the U.S., Canada, Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific, and Latin America.
LiveWire sells electric motorcycles, electric bikes, parts and accessories and apparel in the United States and certain international markets. Electric motorcycles, related parts and accessories and apparel are sold at wholesale to a network of independent dealers and at retail through a company-owned dealer, through online sales and direct to customers through select international partners primarily in Europe. Electric bikes and related parts and accessories are sold through independent retail partners and distributors and direct to consumers online.
HDFS is engaged in the business of financing and servicing wholesale inventory receivables and retail consumer loans, primarily for the purchase of Harley-Davidson and LiveWire motorcycles. HDFS also works with certain unaffiliated third parties to provide motorcycle insurance and voluntary protection products to motorcycle owners. HDFS conducts business principally in the U.S. and Canada.

Documents for the Company’s equity compensation plans have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a timely basis and included in the list of exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Under the Company’s management plan, its Board of Directors may grant to employees share-based awards including restricted stock units (RSUs), performance shares, aspirational performance shares and nonqualified stock options. RSUs vest ratably over a three-year period. Performance shares include a three-year performance period with vesting based on achievement of internal performance targets and, beginning with the 2021 grant, include a vesting component based on a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) relative to a peer group. Aspirational performance shares would have been earned only to the extent the aspirational share price goals for the Company's stock were achieved by December 31, 2025. If a share price goal had been met, then 50% of the associated aspirational performance shares would have vested and the remaining 50% vested on the one-year anniversary of the date on which the share price goal was achieved. The aspirational share price goals were not met by December 31, 2025, so the shares did not vest. Dividend or dividend equivalents are paid on RSUs, performance shares and aspirational shares that ultimately vest. Stock options granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant and for grants made prior to 2021 vest ratably over a three-year period with the first one-third of the grant becoming exercisable one year after the date of grant. Stock options granted under the Plan in 2021 include a service component to vest and a market condition to become exercisable. The 2021 stock options expire 10 years from the grant date or, if the grantee's employment ceases prior to December 31, 2023, 6 years from the grant date. Stock options granted prior to 2021 expire 10 years from the date of grant.
The Company's Director Compensation Policy provides non-employee Directors with compensation that includes an annual retainer as well as a grant of share units. The payment of share units is deferred until a Director ceases to serve as a Director and the share units are payable at that time in actual shares of common stock. The Company's Director Compensation Policy also provides that a non-employee Director may elect to receive 50% or 100% of the annual retainer to be paid in each calendar year in the form of common stock based upon the fair market value of the common stock at the time of the annual meeting of shareholders. Each Director must receive a minimum of one-half of their annual retainer in common stock until the Director reaches the Director stock ownership guidelines defined below.
In May 2025, the Human Resources Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved updated stock ownership guidelines (Ownership Guidelines). The Ownership Guidelines stipulate that all Directors hold five times their annual retainer in shares of common stock, the Chief Executive Officer hold six times his or her base salary in shares of common stock or certain rights to acquire common stock and Senior Management Leaders and other Senior leaders (Senior Executives) hold from one time to three times of their base salary in shares of common stock, or certain rights to acquire common stock, depending on their level. The Directors, the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives are only eligible to sell 50% of the net shares that vest for them after January 1, 2025 until they reach their ownership requirement.
