Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of presentation | Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Polaris Inc. (“Polaris” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and, therefore, do not include all information and disclosures of results of operations, financial position, and changes in cash flow in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Accordingly, such statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, such statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. Due to the seasonality trends for certain products and certain changes in production and shipping cycles, results of such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the complete year.
Fair value measurements | Fair value measurements. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In making fair value measurements, observable market data must be used when available. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company utilizes the market approach to measure fair value for its non-qualified deferred compensation assets and liabilities, and the income approach for foreign currency contracts, interest rate contracts, and commodity contracts. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities, and for the income approach, the Company uses significant other observable inputs to value its derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency, interest rate transactions, and commodity transactions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):
|  | Input Level |  | September 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |
Non-qualified deferred compensation assets |  | Level 1 |  | $ | 50.5 |  |  | $ | 46.7 |
Foreign currency contracts, net |  | Level 2 |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 4.6 |
Interest rate contracts, net |  | Level 2 |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 0.9 |
Liabilities |  |  |  |  |  |
Non-qualified deferred compensation liabilities |  | Level 1 |  | $ | (50.5) |  |  | $ | (46.7) |
Foreign currency contracts, net |  | Level 2 |  | $ | (6.1) |  |  | $ | — |
Interest rate contracts, net |  | Level 2 |  | $ | (1.6) |  |  | $ | — |
Commodity contracts, net |  | Level 2 |  | $ | (3.3) |  |  | $ | (1.3) |
Fair value of other financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and current financing obligations, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Company’s financing obligations was approximately $2,231.6 million and $1,954.3 million, respectively, and was determined primarily using Level 2 inputs by discounting projected cash flows based on quoted market rates at which similar amounts of debt could currently be borrowed. The carrying value of financing obligations was $2,180.0 million and $1,908.4 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Property and equipment | Property and equipment. The Company recorded $68.4 million and $62.0 million of depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $190.9 million and $173.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. A majority of the Company’s property and equipment is located in North America.
Product warranties | Product warranties.
New Accounting Pronouncements | New accounting pronouncements. Reportable Segment Disclosures. In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. ASU 2023-07 is intended to enhance financial reporting by requiring incremental disclosures for significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis by public entities required to report segment information in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements and early adoption is permitted. This standard will be applicable to the Company for the 2024 annual period and quarterly periods thereafter. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but will require additional segment expense disclosures when adopted in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in periodic reports thereafter. SEC Climate Disclosure Rules. In March 2024, the SEC issued its final climate disclosure rule, which requires the disclosure of material Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and other climate-related topics in annual reports and registration statements. For large accelerated filers, disclosure requirements would begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. In April 2024, the SEC announced its decision to voluntarily stay the new rules pending judicial review of certain legal challenges, and thus the timing and scope of the new rules remains unknown. However, the Company is continuing to evaluate the impact these rules will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Apart from the items discussed above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, there are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
