Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates | Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates 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 group of companies the Company refers to as Harley-Davidson Motor Company (HDMC) and Harley-Davidson Financial Services (HDFS). 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 28, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) 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 and six month periods then ended. Certain information and disclosures normally included in complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 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, 2019. The preparation of consolidated 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. During the first quarter of 2020, the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) spread throughout the world, and it was recognized as a pandemic in March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has severely restricted the level of economic activity in the U.S. and around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to supply chain destabilization, facility closures, workforce disruption, and volatility in the economy, and its full impact is not yet known. These impacts may continue to expand in scope, type and severity. The Company’s operations and demand for its products have been adversely impacted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company acted quickly and in alignment with government efforts to protect the safety and health of its employees and the Harley-Davidson community. The Company implemented travel restrictions, enhanced sanitation practices, cancelled events and closed facilities including temporarily suspending its global manufacturing starting in March 2020. While the Company's global manufacturing has resumed and the impacts on demand, facility closures and other restrictions are expected to be temporary, the duration and financial impact to the Company are unknown at this time. This uncertainty could have an impact in future periods on certain estimates used in the preparation of financial results for the period ending June 28, 2020, including, but not limited to, the allowance for credit losses, goodwill, long-lived assets, fair value measurements, the provision for income tax and hedge accounting with respect to forecasted future transactions.
