NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. 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 groups of companies referred 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 September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020, the Consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods then ended, the Consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods then ended, and the Consolidated statements of shareholders' equity for each of the three month periods within the nine month periods ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020.
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, 2020.
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 restricted the level of economic activity in the U.S. and around the world and the full extent of its impact is not yet known. Certain estimates used in the preparation of financial results for the period ending September 26, 2021 could be impacted in future periods as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Recently Adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

8. Finance Receivables
The Company provides retail financial services to customers of its independent 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 independent 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 independent 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.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), which requires an entity to recognize expected lifetime losses on finance receivables upon origination. Under ASU 2016-13, 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. Based on differences in the nature of the finance receivables and the underlying methodology for calculating the allowance for loan 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 loan loss experience, reasonable and supportable economic forecasts, and the value of the underlying collateral and expected recoveries.
The Company considers various economic forecast scenarios as part of estimating the allowance for expected credit losses and applies a probability-weighting to those economic forecast scenarios. Changes in the Company’s outlook on economic conditions impacted the retail and wholesale estimates for expected credit losses at September 26, 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, the U.S. economy and the Company’s outlook on economic conditions improved from the second quarter of 2021; however, the pace of economic recovery remains uncertain as demonstrated by unemployment levels that remain higher than those experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, muted consumer confidence and continuing COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges across the U.S., among other factors. As such, at the end of the third quarter of 2021, the Company’s outlook on economic conditions included continued slow economic improvement 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 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 management’s expectations surrounding the economic forecasts. The Company’s expectations surrounding its economic forecasts may change in future periods as additional information becomes available.

(a)On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and increased the allowance for loan loss through Retained earnings, net of income taxes, to establish an allowance that represents expected lifetime credit losses on the finance receivable portfolios at date of adoption.
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 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 interest income when the account is charged-off. The Company reversed $3.1 million of accrued interest against interest income during the three months ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020, and $11.6 million and $14.5 million during the nine months ended September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020, 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 (ASC Topic 326) to exclude accrued interest from its allowance for credit losses. Accordingly, as of September 26, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 27, 2020, 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

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 nine months ended September 26, 2021. As such, the Company did not reverse any accrued interest in those periods. The Company reversed $0.4 million of accrued interest related to the charge-off of Non-Performing dealer loans during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020. There were no dealers on non-accrual status at September 26, 2021, December 31, 2020, and September 27, 2020.

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 si gnificant as of September 26, 2021, December 31, 2020 and September 27, 2020. 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. Starting in the second quarter of 2020, 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. During the first half of 2021, the volume of extensions declined from the levels experienced during 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but extensions did not return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels until the end of the second quarter of 2021. The Company discontinued extensions specific to the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of the third quarter of 2021; however, it continue s 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, Thai baht, Indian rupee, Singapore dollar, 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 the Company’s motorcycle operations. The Company's commodity contracts generally have maturities of less than one year.

Table of Contents
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, interest rate swaps to reduce the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on medium-term notes with floating interest rates, and cross-currency swaps to mitigate the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on foreign currency-denominated debt. The Company also utilizes 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 income (loss) (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into earnings 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.
The notional and fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments under ASC Topic 815 were as follows (in thousands):

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.
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 operated by a third-party.
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.

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 (ASC Topic 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 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 2022 to 2029.

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 Facilities VIE – Until November 25, 2020, the Company had two separate agreements with third-party bank-sponsored asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits, a $300.0 million revolving facility agreement and a $600.0 million revolving facility agreement (together, the Former U.S. Conduit Facilities). On November 25, 2020, the Company amended each revolving facility agreement by consolidating the two agreements into one $900.0 million revolving facility agreement with third-party bank-sponsored 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 bank-sponsored 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 $900.0 million revolving facility (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. In each of these cases, a program fee is assessed based on the outstanding principal. 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 4 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of September 26, 2021, the U.S. Conduit Facility has an expiration date of November 19, 2021.
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.
There were no finance receivable transfers under the U.S. Conduit Facility during the nine months ended September 26, 2021 or the second or third quarters of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company transferred $195.3 million of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE which, in turn, issued $163.6 million of debt under the Former U.S. Conduit Facilities.
On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – In June 2021, the Company renewed and amended its revolving 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. Prior to the renewal and amendment, the Canadian Conduit was contractually committed, at the Company's option, to purchase from the Company eligible Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables for proceeds up to C$220.0 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 5 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement between the Company and the lenders, as of September 26, 2021, the Canadian Conduit has an expiration date of June 27, 2022.
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 $16.9 million at September 26, 2021. The maximum exposure is not an indication of the Company's expected loss exposure.
During the third quarter of 2021, the Company transferred $32.8 million of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit for proceeds of $27.4 million. There were no finance receivable transfers under the Canadian Conduit Facility during the first half of 2021 or the second or third quarters of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company transferred $77.9 million of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit for proceeds of $61.6 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Securitization VIE – There were no off-balance sheet asset-backed securitization transactions during the nine months ended September 26, 2021 or September 27, 2020. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company sold retail motorcycle finance receivables into a securitization VIE that was not consolidated. In April 2020, the Company repurchased the finance receivables associated with this off-balance sheet asset-backed securitization VIE for $27.4 million.
Similar to an on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization, the Company transferred U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE which in turn issued secured notes to investors, with various maturities and interest rates, secured by future collections of the purchased U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables. The off-balance sheet asset-backed securitization SPE was a separate legal entity, and the U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables included in the asset-backed securitization were only available for payment of the secured debt and other obligations arising from the asset-backed securitization transaction and were not available to pay other obligations or claims of the Company’s creditors. In an on-balance sheet asset-backed securitization, the Company retains a financial interest in the VIE in the form of a debt security. As part of this off-balance sheet securitization, the Company did not retain any financial interest in the VIE beyond servicing rights and ordinary representations and warranties and related covenants.
The Company was not the primary beneficiary of the off-balance sheet asset-backed securitization VIE because it only retained servicing rights and did not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE which could potentially be significant to the VIE. Accordingly, this transaction met the accounting sale requirements under ASC Topic 860 and was recorded as a sale for accounting purposes.
Servicing Activities – The Company services all retail motorcycle finance receivables that it originates. When the Company transfers retail motorcycle finance receivables to SPEs through asset-backed financings, the Company retains the right to service the finance receivables and receives servicing fees based on the securitized finance receivables balance and certain ancillary fees. In on-balance sheet asset-backed financings, servicing fees are eliminated in consolidation and therefore are not recorded on a consolidated basis. In off-balance sheet asset-backed financings, servicing fees and ancillary fees are recorded in Financial Services revenue on the Consolidated statements of operations. The fees the Company is paid for servicing represent adequate compensation, and consequently, the Company does not recognize a servicing asset or liability. The Company repurchased the finance receivables associated with the off-balance sheet securitization VIE in April 2020. As such, the Company did not recognize any servicing fee income in 2021. The Company recognized servicing fee income of $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 27, 2020.

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, cross-currency swaps and treasury rate lock contracts are valued using quoted forward rates and prices; interest rate swaps and caps are valued using quoted interest rates and yield curves; investments in marketable securities and cash equivalents are valued using quoted prices.
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.
Debt – The carrying value of debt is generally amortized cost, net of discounts and debt issuance costs. The fair value of unsecured commercial paper and credit facility borrowings are 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 Facilities and 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 Japan, where the Company currently provides a standard three-year limited warranty.

16. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, product 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.
York Environmental Matter – The Company is involved with government agencies and the U.S. Navy related to a matter involving the cleanup of soil and groundwater contamination at its York, Pennsylvania facility. The York facility was formerly used by the U.S. Navy and AMF prior to the purchase of the York facility by the Company from AMF in 1981. The Company has an agreement with the U.S. Navy which calls for the U.S. Navy and the Company to contribute amounts into a trust equal to 53% and 47%, respectively, of costs associated with environmental investigation and remediation activities at the York facility (Response Costs). A site wide remedial investigation/feasibility study and a proposed final remedy for the York facility have been completed and approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The associated cleanup plan documents were approved in February 2020 and the remaining cleanup activities are expected to begin in 2022. The Company has an accrual for its share of the estimated future Response Costs recorded in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated balance sheets. The Company believes the accrual recorded is adequate and this matter is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Product Liability Matters – The Company is involved in product liability suits related to the operation of its business. The Company accrues for claim exposures that are probable of occurrence and can be reasonably estimated. The Company also maintains insurance coverage for product liability exposures. The Company believes that its accruals and insurance coverage are adequate and that product liability suits will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

20. Subsequent Event
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 will remove the additional tariffs imposed by the EU beginning in 2018 on the Company’s motorcycles imported into the EU, reducing the total EU tariff rate on the Company’s motorcycles from 31% to 6%, effective January 1, 2022. The EU tariff rate will remain at 31% through the end of 2021 rather than increasing to 56% on December 1, 2021, as previously scheduled. The lower 6% tariff rate will apply to all motorcycles imported by the Company into the EU, regardless of origin, beginning in 2022.

Overview
The Company's net income was $163.0 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $120.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2020. In the third quarter of 2021, Motorcycles segment operating income was $97.7 million, up $50.9 million over the third quarter of 2020. The increase in operating income from the Motorcycles segment for the third quarter of 2021 was driven by an 11.5% increase in wholesale motorcycle shipments, improved product mix and lower restructuring expenses compared to the same quarter last year. Operating income from the Financial Services segment in the third quarter of 2021 was $106.5 million, up $15.4 million compared to the year-ago quarter due primarily to lower interest expense.
Retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the third quarter of 2021 were down 5.6% compared to the third quarter of 2020. Retail sales in the third quarter of 2021 increased 1.9% in North America compared to the year ago quarter, which was more than offset by declines in the Company's markets outside of North America. Refer to the Motorcycles Retail Sales and Registration Data section for further discussion of retail sales results.
Additional European Union Tariffs(1)
Beginning in 2019, the Company operated under Binding Origin Information (BOI) rulings that allowed it to supply its European Union (EU) markets with certain motorcycles produced at its Thailand manufacturing facility at tariff rates of 6%. In April 2021, the Company received notification from the Economic Ministry of Belgium that, following a request from the EU, the Company would be subject to the revocation of the BOI rulings, effective April 19, 2021. 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% on April 19, 2021 that was scheduled to increase to 56% effective June 1, 2021. However, in May 2021, the EU made a decision to delay the increase initially scheduled for June 2021 to December 2021, while tariff negotiations took place between the U.S. and the EU. 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 will remove the additional tariffs imposed by the EU on the Company's motorcycles beginning in 2018, reducing the total EU tariff rate on the Company’s motorcycles from 31% to 6%, effective January 1, 2022. The EU tariff rate will remain at 31% through the end of 2021 rather than increasing to 56% on December 1, 2021 as

previously scheduled. The lower 6% tariff rate will apply to all motorcycles imported by the Company into the EU, regardless of origin, beginning in 2022.
Based on the agreement, the Company now estimates the impact of the additional EU tariffs in 2021 to be approximately $61 million, including approximately $44 million recognized in the first nine months of 2021. The current estimate is lower than the previous estimate of $80 million reflecting a tariff rate of 31% for the remainder of 2021 as well as the Company's most recent EU volume estimates. In addition, as a result of this agreement, the Company now expects that there will be no impact from additional EU tariffs in 2022. The Company had previously estimated the impact of additional EU tariffs to be approximately $200 million to $225 million on annual basis after 2021 assuming a total EU tariff rate of 56%.
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 & Supply Chain
The Company continues to manage through the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic keeping safety and community well-being a priority. 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, the success of vaccination programs, the consequences of vaccine requirements, and its impact on the Company's customers, independent 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.
Supply Chain and Distribution – The global supply chain challenges, which the Company believes are primarily linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, continue to impact the Company and the industry. During the first nine months of 2021, the Company experienced disruption and increased costs related to global supply chain challenges. As a result of these challenges, the Company has experienced cost increases for logistics, raw materials and purchased components, as well as increased manufacturing conversion costs. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company's supply chain cost impact was consistent with what it experienced in the second quarter of 2021; however, it did experience increased supplier volatility which impacted production levels for the third quarter. In addition, the Company continued to experience longer shipping times into its international markets during the third quarter. The Company expects continued cost pressure in the fourth quarter of 2021 at the same levels experienced in the third quarter.(1) In response to the supply chain challenges, the Company has imposed pricing surcharges in the U.S., worked to optimize production schedules to prioritize more profitable models and markets and enacted tighter operating expense cost controls. The Company expects the supply chain challenges to continue well into 2022 and will continue to work to mitigate the impact to its business.(1)
Liquidity – At the end of the third quarter of 2021, the Company had $3.4 billion of available liquidity through cash, cash equivalents and availability under its credit and conduit facilities. The Company continues to closely monitor its liquidity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic; however, during 2021 the Company has gradually reduced its cash and cash equivalents from the elevated December 2020 levels. Liquidity is discussed in more detail under Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Supporting Customers – Starting in the second quarter of 2020, 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. During the first half of 2021, the volume of extensions declined from the levels experienced during 2020 returning to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels by the end of the second quarter of 2021. The Company discontinued extensions specific to the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of the third quarter of 2021; however, it continues to grant standard payment extensions to customers in accordance with its policies.
Safety – The Company continues to proactively manage through the COVID-19 pandemic and has implemented robust protocols to keep workers safe in its manufacturing facilities. Most non-production workers continue to work remotely in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company expects to ship approximately 22,000 to 29,000 motorcycles at wholesale in the fourth quarter of 2021. Consistent with the prior year, during the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company will shift motorcycle production to begin producing next year's model year product. The model year changeover will limit the amount of wholesale shipments during the fourth quarter as model year 2022 motorcycles produced will remain in company-owned inventory ahead of the new model year launch in early 2022. The Company expects the financial impact of the model year changeover in the fourth quarter of 2021 to be very similar to the impact of the changeover experienced in the fourth quarter of 2020. This includes an increase in operating expense and capital expenditures in the fourth quarter as compared to the first three quarters of the year to support the product launch. Finally, the Company expects lower restructuring expense in the fourth quarter of 2021 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
The Company expects Financial Services segment operating income growth in 2021 over 2020 of 95% to 105%, up from the previous range of 75% to 85%. The improved outlook takes into account the favorable credit loss experience through the first nine months of 2021, as well as the outlook for the remainder of the year.
The Company now expects capital expenditures of $135 million to $150 million in 2021, down from its previous estimate of $190 to $220 million. The decrease is driven by stronger capital management across projects, as well as changes in the timing of expenditures for key initiatives.
Restructuring Plan Costs and Savings(1)
During 2020, the Company initiated certain restructuring activities as part of The Rewire including a workforce reduction, the termination of certain current and future products, facility changes, optimizing its global independent dealer network, exiting certain international markets, and discontinuing its sales and manufacturing operations in India. These actions included restructuring expenses related to employee termination costs, contract termination costs and non-current asset adjustments. The workforce reduction resulted in the elimination of approximately 700 positions globally, including the termination of approximately 500 employees. In addition, the India action resulted in the termination of approximately 70 employees. The Company incurred approximately $130 million of restructuring expense in connection with these actions during 2020. The Company expects to incur total restructuring expenses for these actions of approximately $135 million, including approximately $5 million in 2021. The Company continues to expect annual ongoing gross savings resulting from these restructuring activities of approximately $115 million. Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Company's restructuring activities.

The Company must rely on information that its dealers supply concerning new retail sales, and the Company does not regularly verify the information that its dealers supply. This information is subject to revision.
Worldwide retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles were down 5.6% during the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year with growth in North America more than offset by declines in markets outside of North America. Retail sales in the third quarter of 2021 were impacted by strategic decisions made as part of The Rewire, as well as longer global shipping times which continued to impact international markets.
Retail sales in North America were up during the third quarter of 2021, driven by demand for the Company's Grand American Touring motorcycles, as well as the successful launch of the Company's new Pan America™ motorcycles. Outside of North America, retail sales were impacted by actions taken under The Rewire to streamline the product portfolio to reduce complexity and direct resources toward the Company's core stronghold products. This includes the Company's decision to discontinue selling Street motorcycles globally and legacy Sportster motorcycles in EMEA and certain countries within the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets. Latin America retail sales were also impacted during the third quarter of 2021 by the reduction of independent dealers and pricing actions executed as part of The Rewire in 2020 to restore profitability in those markets.
At the end of the third quarter of 2021, worldwide retail inventory of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles was down approximately 35%, or approximately 13,000 motorcycles, compared to the third quarter of 2020 and relatively flat to the second quarter of 2021. Retail inventory levels at the end of the third quarter of 2021 have been impacted by stronger demand in North America, as well as global supply chain challenges which impacted the Company's ability to produce at planned levels and resulted in longer shipping times. While retail inventory levels are lower than the Company's original plan, it has seen improvement in desirability as measured by stronger pricing across both new and used motorcycles and improved dealer profitability.

The estimated impact of significant factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021 were as follows (in millions):

| Net Revenue |  | Cost of Goods Sold |  | Gross Profit

Three months ended September 26, 2021 | $ | 1,160.6 |  |  | $ | 850.2 |  |  | $ | 310.4 |

Factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021 were as follows:
•The increase in volume was due to higher wholesale motorcycle shipments.
•Revenue and gross profit benefited from higher prices and lower sales incentives including price increases implemented in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2021 to help offset increased cost related to supply chain challenges.
•Revenue and gross profit were favorably impacted by stronger foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by unfavorable net foreign currency losses associated with hedging and balance sheet remeasurements recorded in cost of goods sold.
•Changes in the shipment mix between motorcycle families had a favorable impact on revenue and gross profit in the third quarter of 2021 due to a higher mix of Grand American Touring and Cruiser models.
•Raw material cost increases were driven by higher prices primarily due to supply chain challenges.
•Manufacturing and other costs were higher driven by increased supply chain costs and additional EU tariff costs. The impact of additional EU tariffs was $25.6 million in 2021 compared to $1.8 million in 2020. These cost increases were partially offset by a lower fixed cost per unit given increased production volumes compared to the prior year.
Operating expenses were lower in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year due to lower restructuring expenses partially offset by higher selling and administrative expenses. Selling and administrative expenses were higher given increased spending on The Hardwire initiatives and the absence of last year's cost saving efforts undertaken to preserve cash at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding restructuring expenses.

Interest income was lower for the third quarter of 2021, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to lower average outstanding finance receivables. Other income increased in the third quarter of 2021 driven by higher licensing and insurance income. Interest expense decreased due to lower average outstanding debt and a lower cost of funds.
The provision for credit losses increased $3.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2020 primarily driven by higher credit losses.

The Company must rely on information that its dealers supply concerning new retail sales, and the Company does not regularly verify the information that its dealers supply. This information is subject to revision.
Worldwide retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles were up 9.1% during the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period last year when retail sales were impacted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Retail sales have improved over the prior year, but have been impacted by strategic decisions made as part of The Rewire, as well as longer global shipping times which impacted retail sales in international markets.
The increase in retail sales during the first nine months of 2021 was led by the North American market which was positively impacted by increased demand for the Company's Grand American Touring and large Cruiser motorcycles. In addition, the increase in retail sales also reflects the Company's decision to shift its new model year launch timing to the first quarter, which resulted in a shift of the model year 2021 launch from August 2020 to the first quarter of 2021. Finally, retail sales in 2021 also benefited from the Company's introduction of Pan America™, its new Adventure Touring motorcycles.
Retail sales outside of North America were impacted by actions taken under The Rewire to streamline the product portfolio to reduce complexity and direct resources toward the Company's core stronghold products. This includes the Company's decision to discontinue selling Street motorcycles and legacy Sportster motorcycles in EMEA and certain countries with the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets. Latin America retail sales were also impacted during the first nine months of 2021 by the reduction of independent dealers and pricing actions executed as part of The Rewire in 2020 to restore profitability in those market. In addition, international retail sales were adversely impacted by global supply chain challenges resulting in longer shipping times and COVID-19 pandemic closures in certain markets.

The Company shipped 159,419 Harley-Davidson motorcycles worldwide during the first nine months of 2021, which was 28.2% higher than the same period in 2020 reflecting the positive impact of the shift in new model year launch timing from August 2020 to the first quarter of 2021. In addition, wholesale shipments last year were adversely impacted by the temporary suspension of the Company's global manufacturing operations during the second quarter in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the first nine months of 2021, the mix of Grand American Touring and Cruiser motorcycles shipped increased as a percent of total shipments while the mix of Sportster/Street motorcycles decreased compared to the same period last year. In addition, motorcycle unit shipments during 2021 include the Company's new Pan America™ models, its first Adventure Touring motorcycles which were launched in the second quarter of 2021.

The estimated impact of significant factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the first nine months of 2020 to the first nine months of 2021 were as follows (in millions):

| Net Revenue |  | Cost of Goods Sold |  | Gross Profit

Nine months ended September 26, 2021 | $ | 3,724.2 |  |  | $ | 2,586.2 |  |  | $ | 1,138.0 |

Factors affecting the comparability of net revenue, cost of goods sold and gross profit from the first nine months of 2020 to the first nine months of 2021 were as follows:
•The increase in volume was due to higher wholesale motorcycle shipments and higher Parts & Accessories and General Merchandise sales.
•During the first nine months of 2021, revenue benefited from higher prices and lower sales incentives.
•Revenue and gross profit were favorably impacted by stronger foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar partially offset by unfavorable net foreign currency losses associated with hedging and balance sheet remeasurements recorded in cost of goods sold.
•Changes in the shipment mix between motorcycle families had a favorable impact on revenue and gross profit during the first nine months of 2021 due primarily to a higher mix of Grand American Touring and Cruiser models.
•Raw material cost increases were driven by higher prices primarily due to supply chain challenges.
49

Table of Contents
•Manufacturing and other costs decreased primarily due to a lower fixed cost per unit given higher production volumes. Production volumes in 2020 were adversely impacted by the temporary suspension of global manufacturing operations during the second quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company also benefited in 2021 from cost savings resulting from the Company's 2020 restructuring actions. These favorable impacts to cost were partially offset by higher supply chain costs and increased tariff costs. The impact of additional EU tariffs was $44.3 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to $17.7 million in the first nine months of 2020.
Operating expenses were lower in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due primarily to lower restructuring costs related to the Company's 2020 restructuring actions. Selling, administrative and engineering expenses benefited from cost savings resulting from the Company's 2020 restructuring actions; however, these benefits were offset by increased spending on The Hardwire initiatives and last year's cost saving efforts undertaken to preserve cash at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Refer to Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding restructuring activities.

Operating income | $ | 319,727 |  |  | $ | 119,015 |  |  | $ | 200,712 |  |  | 168.6 | %

Interest income was lower for the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to lower average outstanding finance receivables, partially offset by a higher average yield. Other income increased due in part to higher insurance and licensing income. Interest expense decreased due to lower average outstanding debt and a lower cost of funds.
The provision for credit losses decreased $173.5 million compared to the first nine months of 2020 driven primarily by improved economic conditions and favorable retail credit loss performance. The provision for credit losses was favorable compared to prior year a result of improvement in the U.S. economy and the Company’s outlook on future economic conditions. However, the pace of economic recovery remains uncertain as demonstrated by unemployment levels above those experienced prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, muted consumer confidence and continuing COVID-19 pandemic-related challenges across the U.S., among other factors. As such, at the end of the third quarter of 2021, the Company's outlook on economic conditions and its probability weighting of its economic forecast scenarios included continued slow economic improvement 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 for the Company's retail motorcycle loans were 0.84% through the first nine months of 2021 compared to 1.40% through the first nine months of 2020. The favorable retail credit loss performance was due to elevated used motorcycle values at auction in the U.S. and continued lower than normal delinquency levels driven by benefits provided under the U.S. federal stimulus packages and COVID-19 retail payment extensions. Favorable used motorcycle values stemmed from an ongoing low number of motorcycles at auction. The 30-day delinquency rate for retail motorcycle loans at September 26, 2021 was 2.76% compared to 2.59% at September 27, 2020. The continued low delinquency levels were driven by benefits provided under U.S. federal stimulus packages as well as the effects of COVID-19 pandemic-related extensions. Starting in the second quarter of 2020, the Company granted COVID-19 pandemic-related extensions to help customers get through financial difficulties associated with the pandemic. During the first nine months of 2021, the volume of extensions

Table of Contents
declined from the levels experienced during 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but extensions did not return to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels until the end of the second quarter of 2021. Extensions specific to the COVID-19 pandemic were discontinued by the Company at the beginning of the third quarter of 2021. The Company continues to grant standard payment extensions to customers in accordance with its policies. While the Company expects the delinquency rate to normalize over time, given the influx of stimulus funding and improved economic conditions, the Company believes it is likely credit losses will continue to remain low through the remainder of 2021.(1)
Operating expenses increased $6.3 million compared to the first nine months of 2020 primarily due to higher employee-related costs and sales and marketing expenses.

(a)On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and increased the allowance for loan loss through Retained Earnings, net of income taxes, to establish an allowance that represents expected lifetime credit losses on the finance receivable portfolios at date of adoption.
Other Matters
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to lawsuits and other claims related to environmental, product 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 deposits.(1)
The Company's cash allocation priorities are first to fund growth through The Hardwire initiatives, then to reward shareholders through dividends, and finally the Company may also choose to execute discretionary share repurchases in 2021 and 2022.

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. The Company's cash and cash equivalents remain higher than pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels at the end of September 2021, but during the first nine months of 2021, the Company began to gradually reduce its cash and cash equivalents from December 2020 levels. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and availability under its credit and conduit facilities at September 26, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 2,061,303 |
Availability under credit and conduit facilities: |
Credit facilities | 665,380 |
Asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduit facility(a) | 657,746 |
| $ | 3,384,429 |

(a)Includes facilities expiring in the next 12 months which the Company expects to renew prior to expiration.(1)
To access the debt capital markets, the Company relies on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings. Generally, lower credit ratings result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to debt capital markets. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw the Company's ratings based on its assessment of the Company's current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. The Company’s short-term debt ratings affect its ability to issue unsecured commercial paper. The Company’s short- and long-term debt ratings, as of September 26, 2021 were as follows:

| Short-Term |  | Long-Term |  | Outlook
Moody’s | P3 |  | Baa3 |  | Stable
Standard & Poor’s | A3 |  | BBB- |  | Stable
Fitch | F2 |  | BBB+ |  | Negative

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 independent dealers and their retail customers, and dilution to existing shareholders through the use of alternative sources of capital.

Operating Activities
The decrease in net cash from operating activities for the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was driven by lower cash flow from wholesale finance receivable activity. During the first nine months of 2020, operating cash inflow from wholesale finance receivable activity was significant resulting from a decrease in receivables outstanding in connection with the decline in wholesale shipments in the U.S. and Canada. During the first nine months of 2021, cash flow from wholesale finance receivable activity resulted in a modest reduction to operating cash flow as receivable levels remained relatively flat supported by increased wholesale shipments in the U.S. and Canada.
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 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 2021. 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, 2020. The Company has a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $52.5 million and related accrued interest and penalties of $27.3 million as of September 26, 2021. 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 $61.5 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to $92.3 million in the same period last year. The Company's 2021 plan includes estimated capital expenditures between $135 million to $150 million, all of which the Company expects to fund with net cash flow generated by operations.(1)
Net cash outflows from finance receivables for the first nine months of 2021 were $333.5 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 $0.45 and $0.42 per share totaling $69.3 million and $65.0 million during the first nine months of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
There were no discretionary share repurchases in 2021 or 2020. Share repurchases of common stock that employees surrendered to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units during the first nine months of 2021 and 2020 were $11.5 million or 0.3 million shares and $7.9 million or 0.3 million shares, respectively. As of September 26, 2021, there were 18.2 million shares remaining on board-approved share repurchase authorizations.

Deposits – During 2020, HDFS began offering 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 $290.3 million and $30.0 million, net of fees, of interest-bearing brokered certificates of deposit outstanding as of September 26, 2021 and September 27, 2020, respectively. The deposits are classified as short- and long-term liabilities based upon the term of each brokered certificate of deposit issued. Each separate brokered certificate of deposit is issued under a master certificate, and as such, all outstanding brokered certificates of deposit are considered below the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance coverage limits.
Credit Facilities – In April 2020, the Company entered into a $707.5 million five-year credit facility to replace the $765.0 million five-year credit facility that was due to mature in April 2021. The new five-year credit facility matures in April 2025. At the end of the first quarter of 2021, the Company had borrowings of $15.5 million outstanding under this facility, which the Company repaid in full on April 7, 2021. The Company also amended its $780.0 million five-year credit facility in April 2020 to $707.5 million with no change to the maturity date of April 2023. Additionally, the Company had a $350.0 million 364-day credit facility that matured in May 2021. 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 September 26, 2021 supported by the Global Credit Facilities, as discussed above. Outstanding unsecured commercial paper may not exceed the unused portion of the Global Credit Facilities. Maturities may range up to 365 days from the issuance date. The Company intends to repay unsecured commercial paper as it matures with additional unsecured commercial paper or through other means, such as borrowing under the Global Credit Facilities, borrowing under its asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduit facility or through the use of operating cash flow and cash on hand.(1)

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.
On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed Canadian Commercial Paper Conduit Facility – In June 2021, the Company renewed and amended 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. Prior to the renewal and amendment, the Canadian Conduit was contractually committed, at the Company's option, to purchase eligible Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables for proceeds up to C$220.0 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. T he expected remaining term of the related receivables is approximately 5 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement between the Company and the lenders, as of September 26, 2021, the Canadian Conduit has an expiration date of June 27, 2022.
During the third quarter of 2021, the Company transferred $32.8 million of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit for proceeds of $27.4 million. There were no finance receivable transfers under the Canadian Conduit Facility during the first half of 2021 or the second or third quarters of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company transferred $77.9 million of Canadian retail motorcycle finance receivables to the Canadian Conduit for proceeds of $61.6 million.
On-Balance Sheet Asset-Backed U.S. Commercial Paper Conduit Facilities VIE – Until November 25, 2020, the Company had two separate agreements with third-party bank-sponsored asset-backed U.S. commercial paper conduits, a $300.0 million revolving facility agreement and a $600.0 million revolving facility agreement (together, the Former U.S. Conduit Facilities). On November 25, 2020, the Company amended each revolving facility agreement by consolidating the two agreements into one $900.0 million revolving facility agreement with third-party bank-sponsored 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 bank-sponsored 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
55

Table of Contents
discretion, of up to $300.0 million. Availability under the $900.0 million revolving facility (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.
There were no finance receivable transfers under the U.S. Conduit Facility during the nine months ended September 26, 2021 or the second or third quarters of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company transferred $195.3 million of U.S. retail motorcycle finance receivables to an SPE which, in turn, issued $163.6 million of debt under the Former U.S. Conduit Facilities.
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. In each of these cases, a program fee is assessed based on the outstanding principal. 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 4 years. Unless earlier terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the lenders, as of September 26, 2021, the U.S. Conduit Facility has an expiration date of November 19, 2021.
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. As secured borrowings, 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 2022 to 2029.
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):

| 2021 |  | 2020
| Transfers |  | Proceeds |  | Proceeds, net |  | Transfers |  | Proceeds |  | Proceeds, net
First quarter | $ | 663.1 |  |  | $ | 600.0 |  |  | $ | 597.4 |  |  | $ | 580.2 |  |  | $ | 525.0 |  |  | $ | 522.7 |

Support Agreement – The Company has a support agreement with HDFS whereby, if required, the Company agrees to provide HDFS with financial support to maintain HDFS’ 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. Accordingly, certain debt covenants may restrict the Company’s ability to withdraw funds from HDFS outside the normal course of business. No amount has ever been provided to HDFS under the support agreement.
Operating and Financial Covenants – HDFS 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 HDFS’ ability to:
•Assume or incur certain liens;
•Participate in certain mergers or consolidations; and
•Purchase or hold margin stock.
56

Table of Contents
Under the current financial covenants of the Global Credit Facilities, the ratio of HDFS’ consolidated debt, excluding secured debt, to HDFS' consolidated allowance for credit losses on finance receivables plus HDFS’ consolidated shareholders' equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), cannot exceed 10.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter. In addition, the ratio of the Company's consolidated debt to the Company's consolidated debt and consolidated shareholders’ equity (where the Company's consolidated debt in each case excludes that of HDFS 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 September 26, 2021, HDFS and the Company remained in compliance with all of the then existing covenants.

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, or other factors. Other factors are described in Item 1A. Risk Factors and risk factors that the Company has disclosed in documents previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these risk factors are impacted by the current changing capital, credit and retail markets and the Company's ability to manage through inconsistent economic conditions.
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 independent dealers to sell its motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends on the capability and financial capacity of its independent 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 independent 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, HDFS has experienced historically low levels of retail credit losses, but there is no assurance that this will continue. The Company believes that HDFS' retail credit losses may increase over time due to changing consumer credit behavior, HDFS' efforts to increase prudently structured loan approvals to sub-prime borrowers and the favorable impact of recent federal stimulus payments, as well as actions that the Company has taken and could take that impact motorcycle values.
Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors of this report and Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 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, Thai baht, Singapore dollar 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, 2020.
The Company purchases commodities for the use in the production of motorcycles. As a result, Motorcycles segment operating results are 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, 2020.
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. The Company utilizes interest rate caps to reduce the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on its asset-backed securitization

transactions. 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, 2020.
HDFS 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, 2020.
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 September 26, 2021, this exposure related to the Euro. The Company utilizes cross-currency swaps to mitigate the effect of the foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations related to Financial Services segment operating results. 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, 2020.
Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further information concerning the Company's market risk.

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, 2020, which have not materially changed except as set forth below.
•Trade policies and changes in trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs, their enforcement and downstream consequences, may continue to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and outlook. Tariffs and/or other developments with respect to trade policies, trade agreements and government regulations could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. Previously, the European Union (EU) placed a 25% additional tariff (31% total tariff) on motorcycles imported into the EU which was initially set to increase to a 50% additional tariff (56% total tariff) effective June 1, 2021. In May 2021, the EU suspended the increase to December 1, 2021 while the EU and the U.S. worked towards politically resolving the restrictive tariffs imposed by each country. While the U.S. and EU announced an agreement that will result in the removal of the additional EU tariffs effective January 1, 2022, trade policies and changes in trade policies, including the imposition or reinstatement of tariffs, their enforcement and downstream consequences, may continue to have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations and outlook.
Shipments of motorcycles to the EU are a significant portion of the Company’s total motorcycles sales. Beginning in 2019, the Company obtained regulatory approvals, reflected in five Binding Origin Information (BOI) rulings, that allowed it to supply its EU markets with certain of its motorcycles produced at its Thailand facilities at tariff rates of 6%. In April 2021, the Company received notification from the Economic Ministry of Belgium that, following a request from the EU, the Company would be subject to the revocation of the BOI rulings, effective April 19, 2021. Following the revocation, non-electric motorcycles the Company imported into the EU, regardless of origin, were subject to a total tariff rate of 31% from April 19, 2021 to November 30, 2021. This rate would have increased to 56% effective December 1, 2021 if the EU and the U.S. had not reached a political resolution before that date. In May 2021, the Company applied for temporary extended reliance on the 6% tariff rate for motorcycles produced in Thailand and ordered prior to April 19, 2021; however, that application was rejected on July 30, 2021. The Company estimates it could have avoided approximately $50 million of additional EU tariffs in 2021 if the application for extended reliance had been granted. To date, the Company continues its appeals of the revocation of the BOIs and the denial of temporary extended reliance although there is no assurance that these appeals will continue or be successful. The remaining impact of the revocation is subject to uncertainties that include whether the Company will continue appealing the revocation of the BOI rulings and the denial of temporary extended reliance and be successful in doing so.
Without limitation, (i) tariffs currently in place, (ii) the imposition or reinstatement by the U.S. government of new tariffs on imports to the U.S. and/or (iii) the imposition or reinstatement by foreign countries of tariffs on U.S. products, including tariffs imposed in response to U.S. tariffs, could materially increase: (a) the cost of Harley-Davidson products that the Company is offering for sale in relevant countries, (b) the cost of certain products that the Company sources from foreign manufacturers and (c) the prices of certain raw materials that the Company utilizes. The Company may not be able to pass such increased costs on to distributors, independent dealers or their customers, and the Company may not be able to secure sources of certain products and materials that are not subject to tariffs on a timely basis. Such developments could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company disclaims any obligation to update these risk factors or any other forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation, and specifically disclaims any such obligation, to update these risk factors or any other forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or other factors affecting such forward-looking statements.

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. As of September 26, 2021, 18.2 million shares remained under these authorizations. The Company repurchased no shares on a discretionary basis during the quarter ended September 26, 2021.
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 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. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company acquired 15,777 shares of common stock that employees presented to the Company to satisfy withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units and performance share units.
Item 5. Other Information
Item 5.02
On November 4, 2021, the Company announced the retirement of Darrell Thomas, Vice President and Treasurer. Mr. Thomas will retire from the Company effective March 1, 2022 after 11 years of service.
The Company maintains the Harley-Davidson, Inc. Employee Incentive Plan (the Plan) under which it provides its employees and the employees of its participating affiliates with incentive compensation depending upon, among other things, the achievement of corporate or business unit performance that furthers corporate objectives. On October 29, 2021, the Human Resources Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment and restatement of the Plan, effective January 1, 2021, to: (i) remove or modify certain restrictions under the Plan that were intended to qualify compensation as “performance-based” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), that are no longer necessary following the changes to the Code Section 162(m) made by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; (ii) incorporate state performance-based compensation tax rules; (iii) remove workers compensation payments from the calculation of eligible compensation; and (iv) increase the maximum performance award to $8 million.
