NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harley-Davidson, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned (the Company), including the accounts of the groups of companies referred to as Harley-Davidson Motor Company and Harley-Davidson Financial Services. In addition, certain variable interest entities (VIEs) related to secured financing are consolidated as the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Company operates in two reportable segments: Motorcycles and Related Products (Motorcycles) and Financial Services.

In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Consolidated balance sheets as of June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, the Consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of cash flows for the six month periods then ended, and the Consolidated statements of shareholders' equity for the three month periods within the six month periods ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021.

Certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial reporting. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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

2. New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (ASU 2022-02). ASU 2022-02 addresses areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of its previously issued credit losses standard (ASU 2016-13) that introduced the current expected credit losses (CECL) model. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhances disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, ASU 2022-02 requires a public business entity to disclose current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. As the Company has already adopted ASU 2016-13, the new guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. Revenue

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

The Company expects to recognize approximately $19.3 million of the remaining unearned revenue over the next 12 months and $27.7 million thereafter.

4. Restructuring Activities

The Company's restructuring activities are included in Restructuring (benefit) expense on the Consolidated statements of operations.

In 2020, the Company initiated restructuring activities including a workforce reduction, the termination of certain current and future products, facility changes, optimizing its global dealer network, exiting certain international markets, and discontinuing its sales and manufacturing operations in India. The workforce reduction resulted in the termination of approximately 500 employees. In addition, the India action resulted in the termination of approximately 70 employees. These restructuring activities are essentially complete, and the Company does not expect restructuring expenses of any significance in 2022.

Since the inception of the restructuring activities in 2020 through the six months ended June 26, 2022, the Company has incurred cumulative restructuring expenses of $133.0 million, including $121.5 million and $11.5 million in the Motorcycles and Financial Services segments, respectively. This includes restructuring (benefit) expense for the three and six month periods ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021 by segment as follows (in thousands):

8. 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.

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 and related parts and accessories to dealers. Wholesale loans to dealers are generally secured by financed inventory or property.

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

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

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

The Company considers various third-party economic forecast scenarios as part of estimating the allowance for expected credit losses and applies a probability-weighting to those economic forecast scenarios. Each quarter, the Company’s outlook on economic conditions impacts the Company's retail and wholesale estimates for expected credit losses. During the second quarter of 2022, the U.S. economy and the Company’s outlook on economic conditions remained largely unchanged from the first quarter of 2022. The pace of economic recovery remained uncertain as demonstrated by rising inflation, muted consumer confidence, continued global supply chain disruptions, and the conflict in Ukraine, among other factors. As such, at the end of the second quarter of 2022, the Company’s outlook on economic conditions included slow economic improvement with risk of a near-term recession in its economic scenario weighting.

Additionally, the historical experience incorporated into the portfolio-specific models does not fully reflect the Company's comprehensive expectations regarding the future. As such, the Company incorporated qualitative factors to establish an appropriate allowance for credit losses balance. These factors include motorcycle recovery value considerations, delinquency adjustments, specific problem loan trends, and others, 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 the Company’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 those in which foreclosure is probable as Non-Performing. The internal rating system considers factors such as the specific borrower's ability to repay and the estimated value of any collateral. Dealer risk rating classifications are reviewed and updated by the Company on a quarterly basis.

Retail finance receivables are contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the specified due date. Retail finance receivables at amortized cost, excluding accrued interest, are generally charged-off when the receivable is 120 days or more delinquent, the related asset is repossessed, or the receivable is otherwise deemed uncollectible. The Company reverses accrued interest related to charged-off accounts against Financial Services interest income when the account is charged-off. The Company reversed $4.2 million and $3.3 million of accrued interest against Financial Services interest income during the three months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively, and $9.1 million and $8.5 million during the six months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively. All retail finance receivables accrue interest until either collected or charged-off. Due to the timely write-off of accrued interest, the Company made the election provided under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses to exclude accrued interest from its allowance for credit losses. Accordingly, as of June 26, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 27, 2021, all retail finance receivables were accounted for as interest-earning receivables.

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

Table of Contents

follows a non-accrual policy for interest, the allowance for credit losses excludes accrued interest for the wholesale portfolio. There were no charged-off accounts during the three and six months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021. As such, the Company did not reverse any accrued interest in those periods. There were no dealers on non-accrual status at June 26, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 27, 2021.

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 in troubled debt restructurings. Total finance receivables in troubled debt restructurings were not significant as of June 26, 2022, December 31, 2021 and June 27, 2021. Additionally, in certain situations, the Company may offer short-term adjustments to customer payment due dates without affecting the associated interest rate or loan term. From the second quarter of 2020 through the end of the second quarter of 2021, in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company granted an increased amount of short-term payment due date extensions on eligible retail loans to help retail customers get through financial difficulties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues to grant standard payment extensions to customers in accordance with its policies.

9. 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, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Chinese yuan, Singapore dollar, Thai baht, and Pound sterling. 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 lock contracts to fix the interest rate on a portion of the principal related to an anticipated issuance of long-term debt and cross-currency swaps to mitigate the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its foreign currency-denominated debt. The Company also utilizes interest rate caps to facilitate certain asset-backed securitization transactions.

Table of Contents

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.

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into income when the hedged item affects income. 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.

10. 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 liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

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 1 to 6 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 three months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021 was $6.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, and $13.0 million and $13.8 million for the six months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively. This includes variable lease costs related to assets used in manufacturing and distribution processes of approximately $0.8 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively, and $1.8 million and $3.7 million for the six months ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively. Other variable and short-term lease costs were not material.

12. Asset-Backed Financing

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

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

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

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

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

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Securitization VIEs – The Company transfers U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs 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 secured notes currently have various contractual maturities ranging from 2023 to 2030.

Table of Contents

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

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

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed U.S. Commercial Paper Conduit Facility VIE – The Company has a $900.0 million 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. In addition to the $900.0 million aggregate commitment, the agreement allows for additional borrowings, at the lender’s discretion, of up to $300.0 million. Availability under the U.S. Conduit Facility is based on, among other things, the amount of eligible U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables held by the SPE as collateral.

Under the U.S. Conduit Facility, the assets of the SPE are restricted as collateral for the payment of the debt or other obligations arising in the transaction and are not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors. The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing commercial paper rates if funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper. If not funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper, the terms of the interest are based on LIBOR, with provisions for a transition to other benchmark rates, generally aligning to recommendations published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee convened by the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In each of these cases, 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. When calculating the unused fee, the aggregate commitment does not include any unused portion of the $300.0 million additional borrowings allowed. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the U.S. Conduit Facility, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables held by the SPE is approximately 5 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of June 26, 2022, the U.S. Conduit Facility has an expiration date of November 18, 2022.

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

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company transferred $420.8 million of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE which, in turn, issued $362.8 million of debt under the U.S. Conduit Facility. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company transferred $47.1 million of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE which, in turn, issued $41.3 million of debt under the U.S. Conduit Facility. There were no finance receivable transfers under the U.S. Conduit Facility during the first half of 2021.

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – In June 2022, the Company renewed its facility agreement (Canadian Conduit) with a Canadian bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduit. Under the 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$125.0 million. The transferred assets are restricted as collateral for the payment of the associated debt. The terms for this debt provide for interest on the outstanding principal based on prevailing market interest rates plus a specified margin. The Canadian Conduit also provides for a program fee and an unused commitment fee based on the unused portion of the total aggregate commitment of C$125.0 million. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the Canadian Conduit, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced

monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables is approximately 4 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement between the Company and the lenders, as of June 26, 2022, the Canadian Conduit has an expiration date of June 30, 2023.

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

As the Company participates in and does not consolidate the Canadian bank-sponsored, multi-seller conduit VIE, the maximum exposure to loss associated with this VIE, which would only be incurred in the unlikely event that all the finance receivables and underlying collateral have no residual value, was $13.2 million at June 26, 2022. The maximum exposure is not an indication of the Company's expected loss exposure.

There were no finance receivable transfers under the Canadian Conduit during the second quarter of 2022 or the first half of 2021. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company transferred $25.3 million of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit for proceeds of $21.2 million.

13. Fair Value

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

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

Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and yield curves. The Company uses the market approach to derive the fair value for its Level 2 fair value measurements. Foreign currency contracts, commodity contracts, and cross-currency swaps are valued using quoted forward rates and prices; interest rate caps are valued using quoted interest rates and yield curves.

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.

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

Deposits, net – The carrying value of deposits is amortized cost. 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.

Table of Contents

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

14. Product Warranty and Recall Campaigns

The Company currently provides a standard two-year limited warranty on all new motorcycles sold worldwide, except in certain markets, where the Company currently provides a standard three-year limited warranty. The Company also provides a five-year 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.

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

16. Commitments and Contingencies

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

Supply Matter – During the second quarter of 2022, the Company received information from a third-party supplier concerning a regulatory compliance matter relating to the supplier's component part. As a result, out of an abundance of caution, the Company suspended all vehicle assembly and shipments (excluding LiveWire models) for approximately two weeks during the second quarter of 2022. The Company continues to work through the regulatory compliance matter with its relevant suppliers and at this time does not expect that this matter will result in additional costs or recall expenses that are material. Given the uncertainties related to this matter, the Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate any potential additional costs or recall expenses it may incur.

LiveWire Transaction – On December 13, 2021, the Company and AEA-Bridges Impact Corp. (ABIC), a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement under which LiveWire, the Company's electric motorcycle division, will become a separate business of the Company and combine with ABIC to create a new publicly traded company. The parties expect that the transaction will be financed by ABIC’s $400 million cash held in trust (assuming no redemptions by ABIC’s shareholders in the context of the transaction), a $100 million cash investment from the Company, and a $100 million investment from an independent strategic investor, Kwang Yang Motor Co., Ltd. (KYMCO). In addition, to the extent any shares of the SPAC are redeemed, the Company will invest an additional amount equal to the dollar value of such redemptions up to a maximum of $100 million.

The transaction, which has been approved by the boards of directors of both the Company and ABIC, is now expected to close at the beginning of the Company's 2022 fourth fiscal quarter. The consummation of the business combination is subject to the approval of ABIC’s shareholders and other conditions. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company will retain a controlling financial interest in LiveWire. As the controlling shareholder following the transaction, the Company will continue to consolidate LiveWire’s results, with additional adjustments to recognize non-controlling shareholder interests.

Overview

The Company's net income was $215.8 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $206.3 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021. In the second quarter of 2022, Motorcycles segment operating income was $191.7 million, up $5.9 million from the second quarter of 2021. The increase in operating income from the Motorcycles segment for the second quarter of 2022 was driven primarily by price increases and lower operating expenses partially offset by the impact of lower shipment volumes, higher supply chain costs and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates compared to the same quarter last year. Operating income from the Financial Services segment in the second quarter of 2022 was $85.9 million, down $8.6 million compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to an increase in the provision for credit losses.

Retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the second quarter of 2022 were down 22.7% compared to the second quarter of 2021, including declines of 28.9% in the U.S. and 9.3% in international markets. Retail sales during the second quarter of 2022 were adversely impacted by low dealer inventory levels which were further impacted by a suspension of production and shipments for approximately two weeks during the second quarter. Refer to the Motorcycles Retail Sales and Registration Data section for further discussion of retail sales results.

Key Factors Impacting the Company(1)

Supply Chain Challenges – During the second quarter of 2022, the Company continued to experience disruption and increased costs related to global supply chain challenges including the continued global semiconductor chip shortages. As a result of these challenges, the Company experienced higher costs in the second quarter of 2022, although the rate of supply chain inflation experienced during the quarter declined as compared to the rate experienced during the first quarter of 2022. The decline in the inflation rate was primarily a result of normalization in logistics costs. While logistics costs continue to remain higher than a year ago, the Company did not experience volatile pricing and reduced its reliance on expedited shipping during the second quarter of 2022. The Company expects that inflation rates for logistics and materials costs will continue to improve during the balance of 2022. In the aggregate, the Company expects supply chain costs to continue to be inflationary during the second half of 2022, but the Company believes it will move beyond the peak levels of inflation experienced in 2021. Further, the Company expects year-over-year favorability for certain costs of raw materials as inflation in raw material markets decelerates.

Table of Contents

In addition, during the second quarter of 2022, the Company received information from a third-party supplier concerning a regulatory compliance matter relating to the supplier's component part. As a result, out of an abundance of caution, the Company suspended all vehicle assembly and shipments (excluding LiveWire models) for approximately two weeks during the second quarter of 2022. The Company continues to work through the regulatory compliance matter with its relevant suppliers and at this time does not expect that this matter will result in additional costs or recall expenses that are material. The Company expects that in the second half of 2022 it will make up production and shipments lost as a result of the suspension of production and shipments during the second quarter.

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

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

COVID-19 Pandemic – The Company continues to manage through the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated variants by keeping safety and community well-being a priority. The Company continues to proactively follow protocols to keep workers safe in its manufacturing facilities. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future results depends on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic including associated variants, the success of vaccination programs, the consequences of vaccine requirements, and its impact on the Company's employees, customers, dealers, distributors, and suppliers. Future impacts and disruptions could have an adverse effect on production, supply chains, distribution, and demand for the Company's products.

Guidance(1)

On July 28, 2022, the Company provided the following guidance for 2022, which reflects its current outlook for the supply chain challenges discussed above.

The Company continues to expect Motorcycles segment revenue growth, compared to 2021, between 5% and 10%. This forecast incorporates the expectation that the Company will make up production and wholesale shipments lost as a result of the temporary suspension of production and shipments during the second quarter. In addition, this guidance incorporates the Company's information and expectations as of July 28, 2022 for the impact of supply chain challenges, including semiconductor chip availability. The Company's guidance also assumes a Euro exchange rate of $1.01. The Company estimates that every $0.01 change in the average Euro exchange rate equates to a revenue change of approximately $3 million in the

second half of 2022. The Company continues to expect revenue in 2022 to be positively impacted by global pricing as the Company works to offset cost headwinds across its supply chain.

The Company continues to expect Motorcycles segment operating margin as a percent of revenue of 11% to 12%. The Company believes the anticipated positive impacts from pricing will more than offset the expected cost inflation across the supply chain. Also, the suspension of the additional EU tariffs is expected to contribute over a percentage point of margin growth.

Given the Company's plan to make up shipment volume lost as a result of the approximate two-week suspension of production and shipments during the second quarter, it now expects the Motorcycles segment revenue growth rate in the second half of 2022, compared to 2021, to be in the low- to mid-double digits. In addition, the Company now expects Motorcycles segment operating income margin percent to be in the mid-to-high single digits for the second half of 2022.

The Company continues to expect Financial Services operating income to decline 20% to 25% in 2022 compared to 2021. This decline is largely a result of the favorable credit loss allowance reductions and lower actual credit losses in 2021 that are not expected to repeat in 2022.

The Company continues to expect capital investments between $190 and $220 million in 2022. The Company plans to continue to invest behind product development and capability enhancement in support of The Hardwire strategy.

The Company's capital allocation priorities remain to fund growth through The Hardwire initiatives, pay dividends and execute discretionary share repurchases.

Refer to the Motorcycles and Related Products Segment and Financial Services Segment sections for a more detailed discussion of the factors affecting operating income.

Other income in the second quarter of 2022 was higher than in the second quarter of 2021, impacted by higher non-operating income related to the Company's defined benefit plans.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2022 was 21.9% compared to 25.3% for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was due primarily to favorable discrete income tax benefits recognized during the second quarter of 2022.

The estimated impact of significant factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022 were as follows (in millions):

Three months ended June 26, 2022	$	1,266.5	$	879.7	$	386.8

Factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022 were as follows:

•The decrease in volume was due to lower motorcycle shipments, partially offset by higher Apparel sales.

•During the second quarter of 2022, revenue benefited from higher prices on new model year 2022 motorcycles coupled with pricing surcharges in select markets.

•Revenue and gross profit were negatively impacted by weaker foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by favorable net foreign currency gains associated with hedging recorded in cost of goods sold.

•Changes in the shipment mix within motorcycle families had a favorable impact on gross profit during the second quarter of 2022.

•Raw material cost increases were driven by cost inflation primarily due to supply chain challenges.

•Manufacturing and other costs increased due primarily to higher costs associated with supply chain challenges and a higher fixed cost per unit due to lower volume compared to the second quarter of 2021. These higher costs were partially offset by lower EU tariff costs.

Operating expenses were lower in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period last year as the Company prudently managed spending and experienced lower employee-related costs.

Operating income	$	85,928	$	94,538	$	(8,610)	(9.1)	%

Total revenue was higher for the second quarter of 2022, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher average outstanding finance receivables at a lower average yield as well as higher licensing and investment income. Interest expense decreased due to lower average outstanding debt, partially offset by a higher cost of funds.

Table of Contents

The provision for credit losses increased $12.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by higher retail credit losses. The unfavorable retail credit loss performance was driven by higher delinquencies as charge-offs moved towards more normalized levels during the second quarter of 2022.

The overall allowance for loan loss considers current economic conditions and the Company’s outlook on future conditions. During the second quarter of 2022, economic conditions and the Company’s outlook were relatively unchanged from the first quarter of 2022. The pace of economic recovery continued to remain uncertain as demonstrated by rising inflation, muted consumer confidence, continued global supply chain disruptions, and the conflict in Ukraine, among other factors. As such, at the end of the second quarter of 2022, the Company's outlook on economic conditions and its probability weighting of its economic forecast scenarios included continued slow economic improvement with risk of a near-term recession. The Company’s expectations surrounding its economic forecasts may change in future periods as additional information becomes available.

Operating expenses decreased $1.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2021 due in part to lower employee-related and technology costs.

Refer to the Motorcycles and Related Products Segment and Financial Services Segment discussions for a more detailed analysis of the factors affecting operating income.

Other income in the first half of 2022 was higher than in the first half of 2021, impacted by higher non-operating income related to the Company's defined benefit plans.

The Company's effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 was 22.7% compared to 24.5% for the same period in 2021. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was due primarily to favorable discrete income tax benefits recognized during the first half of 2022.

Diluted earnings per share was $2.91 in the first half of 2022, down from diluted earnings per share of $3.01 for the same period last year on lower net income, partially offset by the impact of lower diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding decreased from 154.8 million in the first half of 2021 to 150.8 million in the first half of 2022, driven by the Company's discretionary repurchases of common stock.

Six months ended June 26, 2022	$	2,569.6	$	1,775.2	$	794.4

Factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022 were as follows:

•The decrease in volume was due to lower motorcycle shipments, partially offset by higher Apparel sales.

•During the first half of 2022, revenue benefited from higher prices on new model year 2022 motorcycles coupled with pricing surcharges in select markets.

•Changes in the shipment mix had an unfavorable impact on gross profit during the first half of 2022 due primarily to a lower mix of Grand American Touring models.

•Raw material cost increases were driven by cost inflation primarily due to supply chain challenges.

Table of Contents

•Manufacturing and other costs increased due primarily to higher costs associated with supply chain challenges and a higher fixed cost per unit due to lower volume compared to 2021. These higher costs were partially offset by lower EU tariff costs compared to the first half of 2021.

Operating expenses were lower in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period last year as the Company prudently managed spending and experienced lower employee-related costs.

Financial Services Segment

Segment Results

Condensed statements of operations for the Financial Services segment were as follows (in thousands):

Operating income	$	172,285	$	213,180	$	(40,895)	(19.2)	%

Interest income was higher for the first six months of 2022, primarily due to higher average outstanding finance receivables, partially offset by a lower average yield. Interest expense decreased due to lower average outstanding debt and a lower cost of funds.

The provision for credit losses was $64.2 million higher in the first six months of 2022 as compared to the prior year period primarily due to a reduction in the allowance for credit losses during the first half of 2021 and higher credit losses in the first half of 2022. The reduction in the allowance for credit losses in 2021 was largely driven by improvement in economic conditions and the Company's outlook on future conditions during the first six months of 2021. During the first six months of 2022, economic conditions and the Company’s outlook were relatively unchanged from the end of 2021. The pace of economic recovery continued to remain uncertain as demonstrated by rising inflation, muted consumer confidence, continued global supply chain disruptions, and the conflict in Ukraine, among other factors. As such, at the end of the second quarter of 2022, the Company's outlook on economic conditions and its probability weighting of its economic forecast scenarios included continued slow economic improvement with risk of a near-term recession in its economic scenario weighting. The Company’s expectations surrounding its economic forecasts may change in future periods as additional information becomes available.

Annualized credit losses on the Company's retail motorcycle loans were 1.40% during the second quarter of 2022 compared to 0.84% in the second quarter of 2021. The unfavorable retail credit loss performance was driven by higher delinquencies as charge-offs moved towards more normalized levels during the first six months of 2022. The 30-day delinquency rate for retail motorcycle loans at June 26, 2022 increased to 2.95% from 2.21% at June 27, 2021. The 30-day delinquency rate was elevated at June 26, 2022 as compared to June 27, 2021 as the delinquency rate in 2021 remained below levels experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic due to benefits to individuals provided under U.S. federal stimulus packages as well as the effects of COVID-19 pandemic-related retail payment extensions. Starting in the second quarter of 2020 through the end of the second quarter of 2021, the Company granted COVID-19 pandemic-related extensions to help customers get through financial difficulties associated with the pandemic. The Company continues to grant standard payment extensions to customers in accordance with its policies. The Company expects the delinquency rate and losses to continue to normalize to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels over time.(1)

Operating expenses decreased $4.7 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to the first six months of 2021 in part due to lower employee-related and technology costs.

Other Matters

Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to product, product recall, 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 16 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources(1)

Based on the Company's current outlook, for both the near and longer terms, it expects Motorcycles segment operations to continue to be funded primarily through cash flows generated by operations and Financial Services segment operations to continue to be funded with unsecured debt, unsecured commercial paper, asset-backed commercial paper conduit facilities, committed unsecured bank facilities, asset-backed securitizations and brokered certificates of deposit.(1)

The Company's capital allocation priorities are to fund growth through The Hardwire initiatives, to pay dividends, and to execute discretionary share repurchases.

The Company's strategy is to maintain a minimum of twelve months of its projected liquidity needs through a combination of cash and cash equivalents and availability under its credit facilities. In response to liquidity concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company increased its cash and cash equivalents during 2020. Since the end of 2020, the Company has reduced its cash and cash equivalents; however, the Company's balances remained higher than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels at the end of June 2022. The increase in cash and cash equivalents at the end of June 2022 compared to the end of 2021 related primarily to cash on hand at Harley-Davidson Financial Services following the issuance of asset-backed securitization debt in June 2022.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and availability under its credit and conduit facilities at June 26, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

To access the debt capital markets, the Company relies on credit rating agencies to assign short- and long-term credit ratings. Generally, lower credit ratings result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to debt capital markets. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw the Company's ratings based on its assessment of the Company's current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. The Company’s short-term debt ratings affect its ability to issue unsecured commercial paper. The Company’s short- and long-term debt ratings, as of June 26, 2022 were as follows:

The Company recognizes that it must continue to monitor and adjust its business to changes in the lending environment. 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) The Financial Services operations 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 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 its Financial Services operations to provide loans to dealers and their retail customers, and dilution to existing shareholders through the use of alternative sources of capital.

Operating Activities

Operating cash flow in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021 was adversely impacted by changes in working capital as well as higher net cash outflows for wholesale financing. Working capital was negatively impacted by increasing inventory levels, related to supply chain challenges, and less favorable changes in accounts payable compared to the first half of 2021. Net cash outflows for wholesale financing activity were higher in the first half of 2022 driven by higher loan originations as compared to the first half of 2021.

The Company continues to expect that it will generate sufficient cash inflows from operations to fund its ongoing operating cash requirements including those related to existing contractual commitments. The Company's purchase orders for inventory used in manufacturing generally do not become firm commitments until 90 days prior to expected delivery. The Company's material contractual operating cash commitments at June 26, 2022 relate to leases, retirement plan obligations and income taxes. The Company's long-term lease obligations and future payments are discussed further in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements. There are no required qualified pension plan contributions in 2022. The Company’s expected future contributions and benefit payments related to its defined benefit retirement plans are discussed further in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company has a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $43.8 million and related accrued interest and penalties of $21.8 million as of June 26, 2022. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the period of cash settlement for either the liability for unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties.

Investing Activities

The Company’s most significant investing activities consist of capital expenditures and retail finance receivable originations and collections. Capital expenditures were $55.0 million in the first six months of 2022 compared to $37.6 million in the same period last year. The Company's 2022 plan includes estimated capital investments between $190 million to $220 million, all of which the Company expects to fund with net cash flow generated by operations.(1)

Table of Contents

Net cash outflows from finance receivables for the first six months of 2022 were $89.1 million higher compared to the same period last year due primarily to higher retail finance receivable originations. The Company funds its finance receivables net lending activity through the issuance of debt, discussed in "Financing Activities" below.

Financing Activities

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

The Company paid dividends of $0.315 and $0.300 per share totaling $47.1 million and $46.2 million during the first half of 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Cash outflows for share repurchases were $325.8 million in the first half of 2022 compared to $10.9 million in the same period last year.

Deposits – Harley-Davidson Financial Services 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 $345.8 million and $259.4 million, net of fees, of interest-bearing brokered certificates of deposit outstanding as of June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, 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 – On April 7, 2022, the Company entered into a $710.0 million five-year credit facility to replace the $707.5 million five-year credit facility that was due to mature in April 2023. The new five-year credit facility matures in April 2027. The Company also amended its other $707.5 million five-year credit facility to $710.0 million with no change to the maturity date of April 2025. The five-year credit facilities (together, the Global Credit Facilities) bear interest at variable rates, which may be adjusted upward or downward depending on certain criteria, such as credit ratings. The Global Credit Facilities also require the Company to pay a fee based on the average daily unused portion of the aggregate commitments. The Global Credit Facilities are committed facilities primarily used to support the Company's unsecured commercial paper program.

Unsecured Commercial Paper – Subject to limitations, the Company could issue unsecured commercial paper of up to $1.42 billion as of June 26, 2022 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

The U.S. dollar-denominated medium-term notes provide for semi-annual interest payments and the foreign currency-denominated medium-term notes provide for annual interest payments. Principal on the medium-term notes is due at maturity. Unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs on the medium-term notes reduced the outstanding balance by $10.9 million and $12.1 million at June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively. During the second quarter of 2022, $400.0 million of 2.55% medium-term notes matured, and the principal and accrued interest were paid in full. During the first quarter of 2022, $550.0 million of 4.05% medium-term notes matured, and the principal and accrued interest were paid in full. During the second quarter of 2021, $350.0 million of 3.55% medium-term notes matured, and the principal and accrued interest were paid in full. During the first quarter of 2021, $600.0 million of 2.85% medium-term notes and $450.0 million of floating-rate medium-term notes matured, and the principal and accrued interest were paid in full.

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

Table of Contents

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. If not funded by a conduit lender through the issuance of commercial paper, the terms of the interest are based on LIBOR, with provisions for a transition to other benchmark rates, generally aligning to recommendations published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee convened by the Federal Reserve Board and Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In each of these cases, 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. When calculating the unused fee, the aggregate commitment does not include any unused portion of the $300.0 million additional borrowings allowed. There is no amortization schedule; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. Upon expiration of the U.S. Conduit Facility, any outstanding principal will continue to be reduced monthly through available collections. The expected remaining term of the related receivables held by the SPE is approximately 5 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of June 26, 2022, the U.S. Conduit Facility has an expiration date of November 18, 2022.

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

The accounting treatment for asset-backed securitizations depends on the terms of the related transaction and the Company’s continuing involvement with the VIE. The Company's current outstanding asset-backed securitizations do not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sale because, in addition to retaining servicing rights, the Company retains a financial interest in the VIE in the form of a debt security. These transactions are treated as secured borrowings, and as such, the retail motorcycle finance receivables remain on the balance sheet with a corresponding obligation reflected as debt. There is no amortization schedule for the secured notes; however, the debt is reduced monthly as available collections on the related retail motorcycle finance receivables are applied to outstanding principal. The secured notes currently have various contractual maturities ranging from 2023 to 2030.

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


	2022						2021
	Transfers		Proceeds		Proceeds, net		Transfers		Proceeds		Proceeds, net
First quarter	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	663.1	$	600.0	$	597.4

	$	2,176.4	$	1,836.3	$	1,826.9	$	663.1	$	600.0	$	597.4

Support Agreement – The Company has a support agreement with Harley-Davidson Financial Services whereby, if required, the Company agrees to provide Harley-Davidson Financial Services with financial support to maintain Harley-Davidson Financial Services’ fixed-charge coverage at 1.25 and minimum net worth of $40.0 million. Support may be provided at the Company’s option as capital contributions or loans. No amount has ever been provided to Harley-Davidson Financial Services under the support agreement.

Operating and Financial Covenants – Harley-Davidson Financial Services 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’ 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’ consolidated debt, excluding secured debt, to Harley-Davidson Financial Services' consolidated allowance for credit losses on finance receivables plus Harley-Davidson Financial Services’ 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

Table of Contents

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

As of June 26, 2022, Harley-Davidson Financial Services and the Company remained in compliance with all of the then existing covenants.

The Company’s ability to sell its motorcycles and related products and services and to meet its financial expectations also depends on the ability of the Company’s dealers to sell its motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends on the capability and financial capacity of its dealers to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from the Company. In addition, the Company’s dealers and distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related products and services as a result of weather, economic conditions, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other factors.

In recent years, Harley-Davidson Financial Services has experienced historically low levels of retail credit losses, but there is no assurance that this will continue. The Company believes that Harley-Davidson Financial Services' retail credit losses will increase over time due to among other things to factors that have contributed to recently low levels of losses, including the favorable impact of recent federal stimulus payments that will not recur and the conflict in Ukraine.

The Company's operations, demand for its products, and its liquidity could be adversely impacted by work stoppages, facility closures, strikes, natural causes, widespread infectious disease, terrorism, war or other hostilities, including the conflict in Ukraine, or other factors. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors and risk factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of additional risk factors and a more complete discussion of some of the cautionary statements noted above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. To reduce such risks, the Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments. All hedging transactions are authorized and executed pursuant to regularly reviewed policies and procedures, which prohibit the use of financial instruments for speculative trading purposes. Sensitivity analysis is used to manage and monitor foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks. Further disclosure relating to the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments is included in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements.

Motorcycles and Related Products 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 Motorcycles 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 Motorcycles segment operating results. The foreign currency contracts are entered into with banks and allow the Company to exchange currencies at a future date, based on a fixed exchange rate. There have been no material changes to the foreign currency exchange rate market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company purchases commodities for the use in the production of motorcycles. As a result, Motorcycles segment operating income is affected by changes in commodity prices. The Company uses derivative financial instruments on a limited basis to hedge the prices of certain commodities. There have been no material changes to the commodity market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Financial Services Segment

The Company has interest rate sensitive financial instruments including financial receivables, debt and interest rate derivative financial instruments. As a result, Financial Services operating income is affected by changes in interest rates.

There have been no material changes to the interest rate market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Harley-Davidson Financial Services also has short-term commercial paper and debt issued through the commercial paper conduit facilities that is subject to changes in interest rates which it does not hedge. There have been no material changes to the interest rate market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Company has foreign denominated debt transactions, and as a result, Financial Services operating income is affected by fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies and interest rates. At June 26, 2022, this exposure related to the Euro and Canadian dollar. The Company utilizes cross-currency swaps to mitigate the effect of the foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations related to foreign denominated debt. There have been no material changes to the foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate market risk information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information required under this Item 1 of Part II is contained in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements, and such information is incorporated herein by reference in this Item 1 of Part II.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in Harley-Davidson, Inc. involves risks, including the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which have not materially changed except as set forth below.

•The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a military action in Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine are highly unpredictable, this conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including 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 increase in cyberattacks and espionage. Russia’s recognition of two separatist republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and subsequent military action against Ukraine have led to an unprecedented expansion of sanction 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 the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, including, among others: (i) blocking sanctions against some of the largest state-owned and private Russian financial institutions (and their subsequent removal from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) payment system) and certain Russian businesses, some of which have significant financial and trade ties to the European Union; (ii) blocking sanctions against Russian and Belarusian individuals, including the Russian President, other politicians and those with government connections or involved in Russian military activities; and (iii) blocking of Russia’s foreign currency reserves as well as expansion of sectoral sanctions and export and trade restrictions, limitations on investments and access to capital markets and bans on various Russian imports. The Company has suspended its business in Russia. While the Company has not experienced any material interruptions to its infrastructure, supplies, technology systems or networks needed to support its operations or significant costs due to the conflict, the Company cannot provide assurance that will remain the case. The Company has no way to predict the progress or outcome of the conflict in Ukraine or its impacts in Ukraine, Russia or Belarus as the conflict, and any resulting government reactions, are rapidly developing and beyond its control. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have substantial impact on the global economy and the Company's business for an unknown period of time. Any of the factors mentioned above could affect the Company's business, financial condition and operating results. The conflict could also exacerbate other risks that the Company described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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.

	1,756,276	$	36	1,756,276

In February 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 15.0 million shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis with no dollar limit or expiration date. In February 2020, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to 10.0 million additional shares of its common stock on a discretionary basis with no dollar limit or expiration date. The Company repurchased 1.7 million shares on a discretionary basis during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 under these authorizations. As of June 26, 2022, 10.3 million shares remained under these authorizations.

Under the share repurchase authorizations, 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 number of shares repurchased, if any, and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, trading volume, and general market conditions, as well as on working capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors. The repurchase authority has no expiration date but may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time.

The Harley-Davidson, Inc. 2020 Incentive Stock Plan (Incentive Plan) and predecessor stock plans permit participants to satisfy all or a portion of the statutory federal, state, and local withholding tax obligations arising in connection with plan awards by electing to (a) have the Company withhold shares otherwise issuable under the award, (b) tender back shares received in connection with such award, or (c) deliver other previously owned shares, in each case having a value equal to the amount to be withheld.
