(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 and certain variable interest entities (VIEs) related to secured financing when 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 (loss) resulting from foreign currency remeasurements was $0.7 million and $11.1 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.8 million and $20.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

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 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, 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 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025.

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, 2025.

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.

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. 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; Retained Notes (as defined below) are valued based on pricing currently available for transactions with similar terms and maturities; LiveWire warrants, including public (Level 1) and private placement (Level 2) warrants, are valued using the closing market price of the public warrants as the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants.

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.

2. New Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Recently Adopted

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (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 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 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 grants to be presented 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.

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.

Disaggregated revenue by major source was as follows (in thousands):

The Company maintains certain contract liability balances related to payments received at contract inception in advance of the Company’s performance under the contract which generally relate to the sale of memberships and certain licensing and insurance-related contracts, including unearned premiums collected by Eaglemark Insurance Company Ltd., the Company's insurance captive. 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, was as follows (in thousands):

Previously recorded contract liabilities recognized as revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025 were $11.3 million and $9.4 million, respectively, and $23.3 million and $17.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The Company expects to recognize approximately $41.7 million of the remaining unearned revenue over the next 12 months and $67.4 million thereafter.

4. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 24.9% compared to 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the effective income tax rate was attributable to changes in the mix of earnings between the domestic and foreign jurisdictions that are taxed at rates that differ from the U.S. statutory rate as well as a lower benefit from income tax credits.

5. Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share was as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(a)For the periods in which the impact is dilutive, represents an adjustment related to HDFS earnings attributable to non-controlling interest holders 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 beginning of the period under U.S. GAAP as discussed below.

The Company's dilutive securities include those relating to its employee stock compensation plan. In addition, non-controlling interest holders (the counterparties) hold securities representing in the aggregate a 9.8% non-controlling interest in the HDFS business that can be exchanged for Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock. The securities related to the HDFS non-controlling interests can be exchanged for Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock based on the 30-day volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock and a multiple of approximately 1.75x HDFS' 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 outstanding Harley-Davidson, Inc. 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. The securities related to the HDFS non-controlling interests were dilutive during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and anti-dilutive during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The securities related to the HDFS non-controlling interests had not been issued in the three months or six months ended June 30, 2025.

Shares of common stock related to share-based compensation and related to securities representing a 9.8% non-controlling interest in the HDFS business that can be exchanged for Harley-Davidson, Inc. common stock that were not included in the effect of dilutive securities because the effect would have been anti-dilutive include 1.1 million and 1.7 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and 4.3 million and 2.1 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

6. Additional Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information

Investments in Marketable Securities – The Company’s investments in marketable securities consisted of the following (in thousands):

Mutual funds, included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated balance sheets, are carried at fair value with gains and losses recorded in income. Mutual funds are held to support certain deferred compensation obligations.

Inventories, net – Substantially all inventories located in the U.S. are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. Other inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Motorcycle finished goods inventories include motorcycles that are ready for sale and motorcycles that are substantially complete but awaiting installation of certain components. Inventories, net consisted of the following (in thousands):

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 $516.5 million, $536.6 million, and $537.9 million, net of fees, of interest-bearing brokered certificates of deposit outstanding as of June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025, respectively. The liabilities for deposits are included in Short-term deposits, net or Long-term deposits, net on the Consolidated balance sheets 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.

Future maturities of the Company's certificates of deposit as of June 30, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):

Operating Cash Flow – The reconciliation of Net income to Net cash (used) provided by operating activities was as follows (in thousands):

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

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.

Finance receivables held for sale, net includes retail finance receivables that management intends to sell. The Company expects to sell approximately two-thirds of future retail loan originations through December 2030 to two counterparties under an agreement with the two counterparties (Forward Flow Agreement). The Company expects HDFS will continue to service the future retail loan originations it sells to the counterparties and earn a loan servicing fee of 1% per annum for prime loans and 2.5% per annum for subprime loans. When finance receivables are reclassified to held for sale from held for investment status based on management's intent to sell them, any previously recorded allowance for credit losses associated with the finance 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 lower than amortized cost, a valuation allowance is recorded through Financial services revenue on the Consolidated statements of operations. The valuation allowance is updated each period to reflect 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.

Finance receivables held for investment, net and Finance receivables held for sale, net were as follows (in thousands):

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 held for investment 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 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. As of December 31, 2025, the retail allowance for credit losses was in an asset position as estimated recoveries from retail finance receivables previously charged-off exceeded the remaining allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment.

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 the second quarter of 2026, 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 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.

Changes in the Company's allowance for credit losses on its finance receivables held for investment by portfolio were as follows (in thousands):

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 amortized cost of the Company's U.S. and Canadian retail finance receivables held for investment, along with total retail gross charge-offs by vintage and credit quality indicator were as follows (in thousands):

Information about the asset performance of the total portfolio of retail loans serviced by the Company ("Managed Portfolio"), including receivables retained ("Owned Portfolio"), along with receivables sold to third parties or included in off-balance sheet VIEs ("Off-Balance Sheet Portfolio"), is provided in the tables below (in thousands). Recoveries exceeded charge-offs within the owned portfolio, leading to the negative credit loss values shown below.

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.

The amortized cost of the Company's 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 $0.6 million and $8.2 million of accrued interest against Financial services interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively, and $0.9 million and $17.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. 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 30, 2026, December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025, 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 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 $0.3 million of accrued interest related to the charge-off of Non-Performing dealer loans during the three months ended June 30, 2026. There were no charged-off accounts for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and as such, the Company did not reverse any accrued interest in that period. The Company reversed $0.3 million and $0.1 million of accrued interest related to the charge-off of Non-Performing dealer loans during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

Additional information related to the wholesale finance receivables on non-accrual status was as follows (in thousands):

The aging analysis of the Company's finance receivables held for investment was as follows (in thousands):

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 due to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Total finance receivables related to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were not significant as of June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025. 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.

8. 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, and Canadian dollar. 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 its 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.

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. Refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements for more detail on derivatives activity included in accumulated other comprehensive 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 and Cash flows from investing activities on the Consolidated statement of cash flows. Derivative assets and liabilities are reported in Other current assets and Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets, respectively, other than long-term balances noted below.

The notional and fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments under ASC Topic 815 were as follows (in thousands):

(a)Includes $39.2 million, $46.9 million, and $61.2 million of cross-currency swaps recorded in Other long-term assets as of June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025, and June 30, 2025, respectively, with all remaining amounts recorded in Other current assets.

(b)Includes $59.5 million of cross-currency swaps recorded in Other current assets as of December 31, 2025, for which hedge accounting was discontinued prospectively effective September 30, 2025, as it was reasonably possible, but not probable, that the related medium-term notes would be settled prior to maturity.

The amounts of gains and losses related to the Company's derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges were as follows (in thousands):

The location and amount of gains and losses recognized in income related to the Company's derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges were as follows (in thousands):

The amount of net gain included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) at June 30, 2026, estimated to be reclassified into income over the next 12 months was $21.8 million.

The amount of gains and losses recognized in income related to derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments were as follows (in thousands). Gains and losses on foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts were recorded in Motorcycles and related products cost of goods sold. Gains and losses on cross-currency swaps and interest rate caps were recorded in Selling, administrative & engineering expense.

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. 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 (ASC 860). 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 June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. The assets and liabilities related to the on-balance sheet asset-backed financings included in the Consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2025 were as follows (in thousands):

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Securitization VIEs – The Company transfers U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs that 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.

There were no transfers of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs during the first six months of 2026. 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 2025 (in millions):

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed U.S. Commercial Paper Conduit Facility 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.

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 June 30, 2026, the U.S. Conduit Facility had 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.

There were no finance receivable transfers under the U.S. Conduit Facility during the first six months of 2026. Quarterly transfers of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to the U.S. Conduit and the respective proceeds were as follows in 2025 (in millions):

On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – In June 2026, the Company renewed and amended its revolving facility agreement with a Canadian bank-sponsored asset-backed commercial paper conduit (Canadian 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$50.0 million, which was a C$115.0 million decrease in the total commitment. The amendment reflects lower forecasted funding requirements and the Company's liquidity position. 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 June 30, 2026, the Canadian Conduit had an expiration of June 30, 2027.

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. There were no finance receivable transfers under the Canadian Conduit Facility during the first six months of 2026 or 2025. The Company did not have any loss exposure associated with the Canadian Conduit at June 30, 2026, as there were no outstanding balances within the Canadian Conduit as of that date.

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 a result, the Company determined that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of the associated VIEs. After also confirming that the transfers of loans that occurred at the inception of each VIE met the criteria for an accounting sale under ASC 860, the VIEs were deconsolidated during the third quarter of 2025. 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 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 referred to as 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 June 30, 2026. Refer to Note 11 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 Statement 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 Collection 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 $55.0 million at June 30, 2026.

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 fee paid to the Company is 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 $3.7 million and $8.1 million from contractually-specified servicing, late, and ancillary fees during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.

11. Fair Value

The following tables present the fair values of certain of the Company's assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy as defined in Note 1.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements – The Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

The following table presents the reconciliation for all Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Investments in Retained Notes and Residual Interests – As discussed in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded investments in Retained Notes and Residual Interests in off-balance sheet VIEs. The fair value of the Retained Notes was estimated based on pricing available for transactions with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 inputs). The fair value of the Residual Interests was based on a discounted cash flow calculation using the key assumptions below (Level 3 inputs). Both investments are classified as available-for-sale (AFS) securities and, accordingly, are held at fair value remeasured through OCI in the Statement of comprehensive income.

The fair values of the Residual Interests were calculated using the following ranges of key assumptions:

The weighted averages of the key assumptions utilized in calculating the current and prior period fair values of the Residual Interests were as follows:

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 sensitivities of the fair value to immediate adverse changes in the key assumptions for the investment in Residual Interests at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

The sensitivities of the fair value to immediate adverse changes in the key assumptions for the investment in Retained Notes at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were 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. In reality, changes in one factor may contribute to changes in another, which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Furthermore, the estimated fair values as disclosed should not be considered indicative of future earnings on these assets.

The table below summarizes the unrealized positions for Residual Interests and Retained Notes (in thousands):

The table below provides information regarding certain cash flows received from and paid to all motorcycle loan off-balance sheet securitized trusts during the six months ended June 30, 2026 (in thousands):

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements – Repossessed inventory was $4.3 million, $4.2 million and $25.6 million as of June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The fair value adjustment of the repossessed inventory was an increase of $0.3 million, an increase of $2.5 million and a decrease of $10.8 million as of June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Fair value is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on the recent market values of repossessed inventory.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured at Cost – The carrying value of the Company's Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash approximates their fair values. The fair value and carrying value of the Company’s remaining financial instruments that are measured at cost or amortized cost were as follows (in thousands):

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 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.

12. 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 limited 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):

The liability for recall campaigns, included in the balance above, was $27.1 million, $24.7 million and $21.7 million at June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

13. Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a qualified 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. Service cost is allocated among Selling, administrative and engineering expense, Motorcycles and related products cost of goods sold and Inventories, net. Amounts capitalized in inventory are not significant. Non-service cost components of net periodic benefit (income) cost are presented in Other income, net. Components of net periodic benefit (income) cost for the Company's defined benefit plans were as follows (in thousands):

There are no required or planned voluntary qualified pension plan contributions for 2026. The Company expects it will continue to make ongoing benefit payments under the SERPA and postretirement healthcare plans.

14. 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.

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.

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.

17. Supplemental Consolidating Data

The supplemental consolidating data includes separate legal entity data for the Company's financial services entities, including Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Financial Services Entities), and all other Harley-Davidson, Inc. entities (Non-Financial Services Entities). This information is presented to highlight the separate financial statement impacts of the Company's Financial Services Entities and its Non-Financial Services Entities. The income statement information presented below differs from reportable segment income statement information primarily due to the allocation of legal entity consolidating adjustments to income for reportable segments. Supplemental consolidating data is as follows (in thousands):
