Business PART I Polaris Inc., formerly known as Polaris Industries Inc., a Minnesota corporation, was formed in 1994 and is the successor to Polaris Industries Partners LP. The terms “Polaris,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” as used herein refer to the business and operations of Polaris Inc., its subsidiaries and its predecessors, which began doing business in 1954. We design, engineer and manufacture powersports vehicles which include: off-road vehicles (“ORV”), including all-terrain vehicles (“ATV”) and side-by-side vehicles; snowmobiles; motorcycles; moto-roadsters; quadricicycles; and boats. We also design and manufacture or source parts, garments and accessories (“PG&A”), which includes aftermarket accessories and apparel. Our products are sold online and through dealers and distributors principally located in the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia, and Mexico. Business Segments We operate in three business segments; Off Road, On Road, and Marine. Our products are sold through a network of over 2,500 independent dealers in North America, over 1,500 independent international dealers through over 25 subsidiaries, and over 90 independent distributors in over 100 countries outside of North America. A majority of our dealers and distributors are multi-line and also carry competitor products, however some dealers carry our full line of products and, while relatively consistent, the actual number of dealers carrying our products can vary from time to time. Off Road: The Off Road segment primarily consists of ORVs and snowmobiles. ORVs are four-wheel vehicles designed for off- road use and traversing a wide variety of terrain, including dunes, trails, and mud. The vehicles can be multi-passenger or single passenger, are used for recreation in such sports as fishing and hunting and for trail and dune riding, and for utility purposes on farms, ranches, and construction sites. The ORV industry is comprised of ATVs and side-by-side vehicles. Internationally, ATVs and side-by-sides are sold primarily in Western European countries by similar manufacturers as in North America. Estimated North America and worldwide ORV industry retail sales are summarized as follows: Estimated* Approximate Industry Sales (in units) North America ATV retail sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In 2022, we continued to be the North America market share leader in off-road vehicles. Our ORV lineup includes the RZR sport side-by-side, the RANGER utility side-by-side, the GENERAL crossover side-by-side, and the Sportsman ATV. The full line spans 91 models, including two-, four- and six-wheel drive general purpose and recreational vehicles. In many of our segments, we offer youth, value, mid-size, premium and extreme-performance vehicles, which come in both single passenger and multi-passenger seating arrangements. Key 2022 ORV product introductions included the RANGER CREW XP 1000 NorthStar Big Game Edition, GENERAL XP 1000 Sport, and GENERAL 1000 Sport. We design, engineer, produce or supply a variety of replacement parts and Polaris Engineered Accessories for our ORVs. ORV accessories include winches, bumper/brushguards, plows, racks, wheels and tires, pull-behinds, cab systems, lighting and audio systems, cargo box accessories, tracks and oil. We also market a full line of gear and apparel related to our ORVs, including helmets, jackets, gloves, pants and hats. Gear and apparel is designed to our specifications, purchased from independent vendors and sold by us through our dealers, distributors, and online. 3 We sell our ORVs directly to a network of over 1,400 dealers in North America and over 1,100 international dealers. Many of our ORV dealers and distributors are also authorized snowmobile dealers. We produce and deliver our products throughout the year based on dealer, distributor, and customer orders. ORV retail sales activity at the dealer level drives orders which are incorporated into each product’s production scheduling. International distributor ORV orders are taken throughout the year. We utilize our Retail Flow Management (“RFM”) ordering system for ORV dealers, which allows dealers to order daily and create a segment stocking order which helps to reduce order fulfillment times. The ORV industry in the United States, Canada and other global markets is highly competitive. As an ORV original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”), our competition primarily comes from North American and Asian manufacturers. Competition in such markets is based upon a number of factors, including price, quality, reliability, styling, product features and warranties and a manufacturer’s ability to timely produce vehicles in response to increased consumer demand. Snowmobiles have been manufactured under the Polaris name since 1954. We estimate that worldwide industry sales of snowmobiles totaled approximately 130,000, 135,000, and 125,000 units for the 12 month seasons ended March 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. For the 12 month season ended March 31, 2022, we held the number two market share position for North America. We produce a full line of snowmobiles consisting of 68 models, ranging from youth models to utility and economy models to performance and competition models. Polaris snowmobiles are sold principally in the United States, Canada, and Northern Europe. Key model introductions in 2022 included the new Patriot Boost Indy VR1, Patriot Boost Switchback Assault, 9R Pro RMK Slash, and 9R RMK Khaos Slash. We also launched the ProStar S4 engine available for Indy, Voyageur and Titan snowmobiles. We also manufacture a snow bike conversion kit system under the Timbersled brand and in 2022 we launched the ARO 3 Gen 2 Platform, Quick Drive Timbersled (QDT) belt drive system, and more trim levels and options. We design, engineer, produce or supply a variety of replacement parts and Polaris Engineered Accessories for our snowmobiles and snow bike conversion kits. Snowmobile accessories include covers, traction products, reverse kits, electric starters, tracks, bags, windshields, oil and lubricants. We also market a full line of gear and apparel for our snowmobiles, including helmets, goggles, jackets, gloves, boots, bibs, pants and hats. Gear and apparel is purchased from independent vendors and sold by us through our dealers, distributors, and online. We sell our snowmobiles directly to a network of over 580 dealers in North America, primarily located in the snowbelt regions of the United States and Canada, and over 300 international dealers. We offer a pre-order SnowCheck program in the spring for our customers that assists us in production planning. This program allows our customers to order a true factory-customized snowmobile by selecting various options, including chassis, track, suspension, colors and accessories. Manufacturing of snowmobiles generally commences in late winter of the previous season and continues through late autumn or early winter of the current season. The global snowmobile industry is primarily comprised of North American and Japanese competitors. Competitive market share position is driven heavily by product news (styling, technology, performance) and attractiveness of promotional incentives. Our commercial and government/defense businesses design and manufacture vehicles that support various commercial and government applications for transporting people and hauling equipment, as well as tactical defense vehicles. Our defense vehicles, which include ATVs and side-by-side vehicles with features specifically designed for military applications, provide versatile mobility for up to nine passengers, and include our DAGOR, Sportsman MV and MRZR models. We offer 39 models across our brands. Our commercial and government/defense businesses each have their own distribution networks outside of our traditional dealer channels through which their respective vehicles are distributed. ProXD, one of our vehicle brands, is sold through a growing network of over 190 dealers and also direct to customer where permitted. 4 The Off Road segment also designs and sells various PG&A related to its vehicles and aftermarket products. These products include our OEM brands as well as other portfolio brands including Kolpin, Pro Armor, Klim, 509, and Trail Tech. Kolpin, Pro Armor and Trail Tech serve various accessory related needs, where Kolpin is a lifestyle brand specializing in purpose-built and universal-fit accessories for a variety of off-road vehicles and off-road outdoor enthusiasts and Pro Armor offers a lineup that specializes in accessories for performance side-by-side vehicles, snowmobiles and ATVs. Brands in our Apparel category include Klim, which specializes in premium technical riding gear for snowmobile and off-road activities, and 509, which is an aftermarket leader in snowmobile and off-road apparel, helmets and goggles. Kolpin, Pro Armor and Trail Tech are marketed through Apex Product Group, a unified sales, customer service, distribution and vertically integrated manufacturing organization. Apex allows us to access customers through strategic retail and e-commerce marketplaces, as well as dealerships (Polaris and non-Polaris), to reach owners of Polaris and other OEM’s products. Klim and 509 each have their own dealer/distributor networks. On Road: Our On Road segment designs and manufactures motorcycles, moto-roadsters, light duty hauling, and passenger vehicles. Motorcycles are utilized as a mode of transportation as well as for recreational purposes. The industry is comprised of several segments. We currently compete in three segments: cruisers, touring (including three-wheel), and standard motorcycles. Competition in these segments of the motorcycle industry is based on a number of factors, including styling, price, quality, reliability and the dealer network supporting the brand. Estimated combined 900cc and above cruiser, touring, and standard market segments (including the moto-roadster Slingshot®) motorcycle industry sales in North America and worldwide are summarized as follows: Twelve months ended December 31, Estimated* Industry Sales (in units) North America 900cc cruiser, touring, and standard retail sales . . . . . . . . . .

Our motorcycles lineup includes Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot, a three-wheel open air roadster. Our 2023 model year line of motorcycles for Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot consists of 35 models. In 2022, Indian Motorcycle launched its all-new 2023 lineup featuring enhanced style and technology with its groundbreaking FTR lineup and three new limited edition Elite motorcycles. Polaris Slingshot launched its all-new 2023 lineup, including the Slingshot ROUSH® Edition as a new partnership collaboration with ROUSH® Performance. We design, engineer, produce or source a variety of replacement parts and accessories for our motorcycles. Motorcycle accessories include saddle bags, handlebars, backrests, exhausts, windshields, seats, oil and various chrome accessories. We also market a full line of gear and apparel for our motorcycles, including helmets, jackets, leathers and hats. Gear and apparel is purchased from independent vendors and sold by us through our dealers, distributors, and online under our brand names. Indian Motorcycle and Slingshot are distributed directly through independently owned dealers and distributors. Indian Motorcycles are sold through a network of over 200 dealers in North America and over 350 international dealers. Slingshot currently has over 350 dealers globally. We utilize our RFM ordering system for motorcycle dealers, which allows dealers to order daily and create a segment stocking order which helps to reduce order fulfillment times. We also design and manufacture vehicles that support various commercial and industrial work applications and include products in the light-duty hauling, industrial and urban/suburban commuting sub-sectors. Our vehicle brands include Goupil and Aixam which are primarily marketed in Western Europe. We offer 14 models across these brands. These businesses each have their own distribution networks through which their respective vehicles are distributed. Goupil and Aixam sell directly to customers in France, through subsidiaries in certain Western European countries and through several dealers and distributors for markets outside such countries. 5 The On Road segment also designs and sells various PG&A related to its vehicles and aftermarket products. These products include our OEM brands as well as other portfolio brands including Klim. Marine: Our Marine segment designs and manufactures boats which are designed to compete in key segments of the recreational marine industry, specifically pontoon and deck boats. Inclusive of the segments in which we compete, we estimate total U.S. 2022 powerboats market sales were approximately $14.0 billion, with pontoon being one of the larger segments therein. Our brands include Bennington, Godfrey, and Hurricane, which together provide a full offering of pontoon and deck boats. These brands are strategically positioned with over 500 base models across a range of price points. We also offer custom layouts and features and work with most engine manufacturers enabling customers to build a boat that meets their specifications. We believe that the combination of our Bennington and Godfrey brands is projected to be the market share leader in pontoon boats. In 2022, Polaris Marine launched the MY 2023 boats for the Bennington, Godfrey and Hurricane brands. Notable launches include Bennington’s LX Sport that introduced sleek rails, sport furniture, and intuitive helm design features normally found on premium models on this mid-range boat at an attractive price; Godfrey’s Mighty G cruising and fishing series designed to be powered by electric or gas propulsion; Hurricane’s refreshed lineup of Fun Deck models (1960, 2260, 2360) and the Hurricane SunDeck 2600 OB deck boat as the flagship model with its spacious design, plush interior, and power action tower. Our extensive, experienced and loyal network of over 550 active dealers is a competitive advantage, helping to generate steady demand. Concentrated primarily in North America, this dealer network is organized into distinct sales territories supported by experienced sales representatives and leadership. Through the use of offseason incentive programs, we adhere to level production throughout the year, minimizing disruption to the workforce and vendor network. Polaris Adventures Our Polaris Adventures business partners with local outfitters to deliver unique ride experiences leveraging many of our global vehicle platforms. The Polaris Adventures network completed over 350,000 rides in over 190 locations in 2022. The financial results of the Polaris Adventures business is included within the Off Road and On Road segments, based on the related vehicle. Financial Services Arrangements Floor plan financing. We have arrangements with Polaris Acceptance (United States), a joint venture between Polaris and a subsidiary of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo affiliates (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, China and New Zealand), and a subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated to provide floor plan financing for many of our dealers. A majority of our sales of ORVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, boats, and related PG&A are financed under these arrangements whereby we receive payment within a few days of shipment of our product. We participate in the cost of dealer financing and have agreed to repurchase products from the finance companies under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. No material losses have been incurred under these agreements during the periods presented. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of these financial services arrangements. Customer financing. We do not offer consumer financing directly to the end users of our products. Instead, we have agreements in place with third-party financing companies to provide financing services to those end consumers. We have no material contingent liabilities for residual value or credit collection risk under these agreements. Manufacturing and Distribution Operations Our products are primarily assembled at our 19 global manufacturing facilities, many of which are shared across business segments. We are vertically integrated in several key components of our manufacturing process, including plastic injection molding, precision machining, welding, clutch assembly and painting. Raw materials and other component parts are purchased from third-party vendors. We have a long-term supply contract with a boat engine manufacturer, which requires a certain volume of total engine purchases, and includes favorable pricing, as well as various growth and volume incentives. 6 Contract carriers ship our products from our manufacturing and distribution facilities to our customers. We maintain several leased wholegoods distribution centers where final set-up and up-fitting is completed for certain models before shipment to dealers, distributors, and customers. Our products are distributed to our dealers, distributors, and customers through a network of over 40 distribution centers, including third-party providers. Sales and Marketing Our marketing activities are designed primarily to promote and communicate with consumers to enable the marketing and selling efforts of our dealers and distributors globally. We make available and advertise discount or rebate programs, retail financing or other incentives for our dealers and distributors to remain price competitive to accelerate retail sales to consumers. We advertise our brands directly to consumers via digital, television, print, out of home, radio, events and sponsorships. We utilize public relations and partnerships to drive earned media. We provide advertising assets and content and partially underwrite dealer and distributor advertising to a degree and on terms which vary by brand and from year to year. We also provide print materials, signage and other promotional items for use by dealers. We spent $480.8 million, $458.2 million and $429.8 million for sales and marketing activities in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our corporate headquarters facility is in Medina, Minnesota, and we maintain numerous sales and administrative facilities across the world. Engineering, Research and Development, and New Product Introduction We have over 1,400 employees who are engaged in the development and testing of existing products and research and development of new products and improved production techniques, located primarily in Roseau, Minnesota, Wyoming, Minnesota, Elkhart, Indiana, Burgdorf, Switzerland, and Bangalore, India. We utilize internal combustion engine testing facilities to design engine configurations for our products. We utilize specialized facilities for matching engine, exhaust system and clutch performance parameters in our products to achieve desired fuel consumption, power output, noise level and other objectives. Further, we are currently executing an electrification initiative to position the Company as a leader in powersports electrification. Our engineering department is equipped to make small quantities of new product prototypes for testing and for the planning of manufacturing procedures. In addition, we maintain numerous facilities where each of the products is extensively tested under actual use conditions. We utilize our Wyoming, Minnesota facility for engineering, design and development personnel for our line of engines and powertrains, ORVs, and motorcycles, and our Roseau, Minnesota facility for our snowmobile, ATV and powertrain research and development. We utilize our Elkhart, Indiana facility for engineering, design and development for our boats research and development. We also own Swissauto Powersports Ltd., an engineering company that develops high-performance and high-efficiency engines and innovative vehicles. Intellectual Property Our products are marketed under a variety of valuable trademarks. Some of the more important trademarks used in our global operations include POLARIS, RANGER, RZR, GENERAL, SPORTSMAN, INDIAN MOTORCYCLE, SLINGSHOT, BENNINGTON, and KLIM. We protect these marks as appropriate through registrations in the United States and other jurisdictions. Depending on the jurisdiction, trademarks are generally valid as long as they are in use or their registrations are properly maintained and they have not been found to have become generic. Registrations of trademarks can also generally be renewed indefinitely for as long as the trademarks are in use. We continue our focus on developing and marketing innovative, proprietary products, many of which use proprietary expertise, trade secrets, and know-how. We consider the collective rights under our various patents, which expire from time to time, a valuable asset, but we do not believe that our businesses are materially dependent upon any single patent or group of related patents. Product Safety & Regulatory Affairs Federal, state/provincial and local governments around the world have promulgated and/or are considering promulgating laws and regulations relating to product safety and consumer use. For example: (i) the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) has federal oversight over product safety issues related to snowmobiles, snow- bikes and off-road vehicles; (ii) the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) has federal oversight over product safety issues related to motorcycles and Slingshot; and (iii) and the U.S. Coast Guard and its foreign equivalents have oversight over the marine safety regulations for our marine products. In addition, we design our products to comply with various applicable voluntary safety standards promulgated by industry associations. While we 7 are currently effectively managing compliance with these various regulatory schemes and standards around the world, changes in the regulatory climate in any of the jurisdictions where we operate could have a material adverse effect on our total sales, financial condition, profitability, or cash flows. For a more detailed discussion of these risks, please see Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report. Human Capital Management Best Team, Best Culture is a Polaris guiding principle. Our greatest asset is our employee base. We are committed to providing an inclusive and engaging work environment, and we aim to leverage our Polaris values to drive a positive culture. Our employees are also among our largest shareholder groups, driven by our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and our equity compensation program. Headcount. Due to the seasonality of our business and changes in production cycles, total employment levels vary throughout the year. Despite such variations in employment levels, employee turnover has not been materially disruptive to operations. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately 16,200 full-time employees globally, with approximately 5,100 in salaried roles. Our employees are based in 19 countries with approximately 45% of our employees located outside of the United States. Commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is foundational to our success. We have committed to a multi-year strategy, R.I.D.E. Together, that defines and progresses our commitment to Respect, Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity, with our assertion that we will make meaningful progress leveraging our full workforce (“Together”). The composition of our Board of Directors reflects our actions to make diversity a key priority. In the last four years, the Company has added three new directors resulting in a Board with a comprehensive skillset relevant to our industry and future including adding two diverse directors. Our leaders are equipped to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace through unconscious bias training and access to similar tools to drive inclusive team conversations. We engaged an external firm to review our performance management and talent acquisition processes for any unintended biases and are leveraging the findings to inform and reinforce our market-leading practices in these areas. As members of the Corporate Partnership Council of the Society of Women Engineers (“SWE”) and the Women in Manufacturing Association (“WiM”), we have enabled team development opportunities and a pipeline for future talent. We have also created partnerships with People of Color Careers, RippleMatch, Women in Business (“WIB”), Disability Solutions, DoD Skillbridge and others to further our ability to reach a diverse candidate base. Our relationship with Code2College is helping us create a non-traditional talent pipeline for technical talent, and our early career leadership development programs are a catalyst for future diverse leaders. Employee engagement. As a core element of our human capital management strategy, in 2021 we deployed our bi-annual engagement survey of global salaried employees. In 2021, 96% of our employees participated in the survey, and the positive responses rated Polaris in the top quartile compared with a best-in-class global normative database, on par with high performing company norms. We furthered our employee listening strategy by deploying a new hire feedback survey across our global salaried employees, soliciting feedback from employees throughout the first 18 months of employment. In 2022, our teams have been actively working to evaluate and implement opportunities for improvement identified by these sources of employee feedback. Leadership development. As a part of our growth strategy, we are committed to strategically and intentionally developing our current employees to become the next generation of leaders through external partnerships and employee development programs such as Succeeding as a Polaris Leader and Polaris Leadership Development 1 and 2. These programs provide high potential employees opportunities to grow and prepare for next-level roles. In 2022, we expanded that investment with virtual and in-person leadership trainings across a large number of leaders and we deployed additional manager and employee skill trainings aligned to organizational capabilities. We have bolstered our succession and development processes for senior leadership, partnering with top executives to improve our pipeline for critical executive roles. Attracting and developing early career talent remains a key element of our talent strategy. We returned to in-person internships in 2022 and leveraged our learnings from remote internships to create agile development opportunities culminating with a 3-day summit event in Minnesota providing an opportunity to learn from executives, network with other interns, participate in professional development, and ride Polaris products. Our internship programs are a key pipeline to our early career leadership development programs across engineering, operations, sales, marketing, finance, human resources and information technology. Our first leadership development program launched over 20 years ago, and the structured rotations and formal development within the programs have proven successful in bolstering our functional and management leadership succession 8 Employee well-being. We believe the holistic focus on well-being, including our employees’ health, safety, and financial security drives our success and is a key focus of our guiding principles. We offer our employees a total rewards package that includes competitive base pay, annual incentives, product discounts, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, and equity compensation plans that include the ESOP, Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), and additional incentive equity grants (for certain levels). Employees are provided with customized comprehensive total rewards statements and a guide to understanding the various pay and benefits elements of our total rewards program. Over the past year, our strong safety culture remained a primary focus as our office teams transitioned back onsite. We have continued to evolve our safety controls to protect employees working onsite. The agility of our employee base remained an advantage, with our office teams shifting to a hybrid work environment and optimizing the benefits of remote and in-person work. Wellness is a significant focus with the personalized well-being model that provides employees with the tools to manage their situations better. Financial well-being has been a focus in a multifaceted way, including an expanded 401(k) investment lineup. We also offer financial wellness education via an award-winning investment advisory firm, which teaches our employees about the navigation of market volatility and provides inflation and free one-on-one counseling sessions to employees. We expect to launch an employee relief program in 2023 that supports employees in need due to unforeseen crises. We view a comprehensive total rewards package such as this with a broad focus on employee well-being as instrumental in our ability to attract, motivate and retain quality candidates and employees to drive our strategic mission to be the global leader in powersports.

Risk Factors The following are factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows, or operating results, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock. Macroeconomic Risks Our business may be sensitive to economic conditions, including those that impact our customers’ spending. Our results of operations may be sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions, primarily in North America and Europe, that impact spending on our products, including discretionary spending. Weakening of, and fluctuations in, economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income or our customers’ budgets, such as employment levels, inflation, business conditions, the level of governmental financial assistance, changes in housing market conditions, capital markets, tax rates, savings rates, interest rates, fuel and energy costs, the economic impacts of natural disasters or other severe weather conditions, acts of war, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and acts of terrorism, the availability of consumer credit could reduce overall spending or reduce spending on our products. A general reduction in consumer spending or a reduction in consumer spending on powersports, boats and aftermarket products 11 could adversely affect our sales growth and profitability. A general reduction in spending by our customers for commercial equipment or a reduction in government budgets could adversely affect our related sales. Adverse changes in these factors could lead to a decreased level of demand for our products, which could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. In addition, we have financial services partnership arrangements with subsidiaries of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and a subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares Incorporated that require us to repurchase products financed and repossessed by the partnership, subject to certain limitations. If adverse changes to economic conditions result in increased defaults on the loans made by this financial services partnership, our repurchase obligation under the partnership arrangement could adversely affect our liquidity and harm our business. Shortages or increases in the cost of raw materials, commodities, component parts, and transportation could negatively impact our business. The primary commodities used in manufacturing our products are aluminum, steel, petroleum-based resins and certain rare earth metals used in our charging systems, as well as diesel fuel to transport products. Our profitability has been affected by fluctuations in the prices of the raw materials and commodities we use in our products and in the cost of freight and shipping to source materials, commodities, and other component parts necessary to assemble our products. We have experienced significant increases in the cost of these commodities and materials due generally to an inflationary environment driven by high demand and supply chain disruptions. Additionally, fluctuating policies and the implementation of trade regulations and trade agreements could further disrupt our supply chain or increase the cost of raw materials and commodities necessary to manufacture our products. The impact from tariffs or other trade regulations could require us to shift our manufacturing footprint or result in decreased demand for our products or restructuring actions that could impact our work force and/or our investments in research and development or other growth initiatives. All of these could increase our operational costs and materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Market and Competitive Risks We face intense competition in all product lines. Failure to compete effectively against competitors could negatively impact our business and operating results. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. Competition in such markets is based upon several factors, including price, quality, reliability, styling, product features and warranties. At the dealer level, competition is based on additional factors, including product availability, sales and marketing support programs (such as financing and cooperative advertising), and dealer and customer perception. Certain of our competitors are more diversified and have advantageous manufacturing footprints, and may invest more heavily in intellectual property, product development, promotions and advertising. If we are not able to compete with new or enhanced products or models of our competitors, our ability to retain and attract customers and future business performance may be materially and adversely affected. Internationally, our products typically face more competition where certain foreign competitors manufacture and market products in their respective countries. This allows those competitors to sell products at lower prices, which could adversely affect our competitiveness. In addition, our products compete with many other recreational, utility, and work products for the discretionary spending of our customers. A failure to effectively compete with these other competitors or adjust pricing to offset inflation or increased supply chain costs could materially and adversely affect our financial results and have a material adverse effect on our performance. If we are unable to continue to enhance existing products and develop and market new or enhanced products that respond to customer needs and preferences, we may experience a decrease in demand for our products and our business could suffer. Our sales from new products in the past have represented a significant component of our sales and are expected to continue to represent a significant component of our future sales. We may not be able to compete as effectively in the market, and ultimately satisfy the needs and preferences of our customers, unless we can continue to enhance existing product, execute on our electrification strategy, and develop new and innovative products in the global markets in which we compete. Product development requires significant financial, technological and other resources. There can be no assurance that our level of investment in research and development will be a sufficient competitive advantage in product innovation, which could cause our business to suffer. Product improvements and new product introductions also require significant engineering, planning, design, development, and testing at the technological, product, and manufacturing process levels and we may not be able to timely develop product improvements or new products. Our competitors’ new 12 products may be of a better quality, beat our products to market, and be more attractive in terms of features and price than our products. Our continued success is dependent on positive perceptions of our Polaris brands which, if impaired, could adversely affect our sales. We believe the strength of our Polaris brands is one of the reasons our customers choose our products. To be successful, we must preserve our reputation. Reputational value is based in large part on perceptions and opinions, and broad access to social media makes it easy for anyone to provide public feedback that can influence perceptions of our company. It may be difficult to control negative publicity, regardless of whether it is accurate. While reputations may take decades to build, any negative incidents can quickly erode trust and confidence, particularly if they result in negative mainstream and social media publicity, governmental investigations, or litigation. Negative incidents, such as quality and safety concerns or incidents related to our products or actions or statements of our employees, suppliers or dealers, could lead to tangible adverse effects on our business, including lost sales or employee retention and recruiting difficulties. In addition, the reputation of our vendors and others with whom we choose to do business may affect our reputation. Increased negative public perception of our products or any increased restrictions on the access or the use of our products in certain locations could materially adversely affect our business or results of operations. Demand for the Company’s products depends in part on their social acceptability. Public concerns about the environmental impact of the Company’s products or their perceived safety could result in diminished public perception of the products we sell. Government, media, or activist pressure to limit emissions or perceived land and water impacts could also negatively impact consumers’ perceptions of the Company’s products or limit access to areas where customers can use our products. Any decline in the social acceptability of the Company’s products could negatively impact sales or lead to changes in laws, rules and regulations that prevent their access to certain locations or restrict their use or manner of use in certain areas or during certain times, which could also negatively impact sales. Any material decline in the social acceptability of the Company’s products could impact the Company’s ability to retain existing customers or attract new ones which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. From time to time, we manage our portfolio and grow our business through acquisitions, non-consolidating investments, alliances and new joint ventures and partnerships, which could be risky and could harm our business. From time to time, we drive growth in our businesses and accelerate opportunities to expand our global presence and customer base through targeted acquisitions, non-consolidating investments, alliances, and new joint ventures and partnerships (each a “Strategic Transaction”) that we believe add value to our existing brands and product portfolio. Alternatively, we may not be able to identify an attractive Strategic Transaction. The benefits of a Strategic Transaction may take more time than expected to develop or integrate into our operations, and we cannot guarantee that any Strategic Transaction will ultimately produce the expected benefits. There can be no assurance that Strategic Transactions will be completed or that, if completed, they will be successful. Strategic Transactions pose risks with respect to our ability to project and evaluate market demand, potential synergies and cost savings, make correct accounting estimates and achieve anticipated business goals and objectives. As we continue to grow, in part, through Strategic Transactions, our success depends on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these risks. If acquired businesses do not achieve forecasted results or otherwise fail to meet projections, it could affect our results of operations. In many cases, Strategic Transactions present a number of integration risks. For example, the acquisition may: disrupt operations in core, adjacent or acquired businesses; require more time or resources than anticipated to be fully integrated into our operations and systems; create more costs than projected; divert management attention; create the potential of losing customer, supplier or other critical business relationships; and pose difficulties retaining employees. The inability to successfully integrate new businesses may result in higher production costs, lost sales or otherwise negatively affect earnings and financial results. Potential divestiture activity poses similar risks, including the potential to: disrupt operations in core, adjacent or acquired businesses; require more time or resources than anticipated to be fully completed; deleverage manufacturing operations or reduce sourcing efficiencies; reduce gross profit if the Company is not able to reduce fixed cost (including corporate overhead); not deliver the value anticipated for shareholders; divert management attention; create the potential of losing customer, supplier or other critical business relationships; and pose difficulties retaining employees. The 13 inability to successfully manage the risks associated with the Company’s divestiture activity may result in higher production costs, lost sales or otherwise negatively affect earnings and financial results. Disruption in our suppliers’ operations could disrupt our production schedule. Operational Risks Our operations and ability to maintain production is dependent upon our suppliers delivering sufficient quantities of systems, components, raw materials and parts on time to manufacture our products and meet our production schedules. For example, we have continued to experience supply disruptions and sourcing challenges for various components critical to the manufacture of our products. In some instances, we purchase systems, components, raw materials and parts that are ultimately derived from a single source or geography and may be at an increased risk for supply disruptions. If necessary, we may not be able to develop alternate sourcing quickly or at all. Any number of factors, including labor disruptions, catastrophic weather events, the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness, contractual or other disputes, unfavorable economic or industry conditions, port, rail, or truck delivery delays or other performance problems or financial difficulties or solvency problems, could disrupt our suppliers’ operations and lead to uncertainty in our supply chain or cause supply disruptions for us, which could, in turn, disrupt our operations. Material disruptions of our production schedule caused by a worsening, prolonged, or other unexpected shortage of systems, components, raw materials or parts have caused, and could continue to cause, us to not be able to meet customer demand, to alter production schedules, to delay product launch schedules, or to suspend production entirely, which could cause a loss of revenues, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. These disruptions have had and may continue to have in the future an adverse impact on our prospects and operating results. We manufacture our products at, and distribute our products from, several locations in North America and internationally. An unforeseen increase in demand for our products or any disruption at any of these facilities or manufacturing delays could adversely affect our business and operating results. We assemble vehicles at various facilities around the world. Our facilities are typically designed to produce particular models for particular geographic markets. No single facility is designed to manufacture our full range of vehicles. We also have several locations that serve as wholegoods and PG&A distribution centers, warehouses and office facilities. In addition, we have agreements with other third-party manufacturers to manufacture products on our behalf. Should these or other facilities become unavailable either temporarily or permanently for any number of reasons, including supply chain constraints, labor disruptions, the occurrence of a contagious disease or illness or catastrophic weather events (including events caused by climate change), the inability to manufacture at the affected facility may result in harm to our reputation, increased costs, lower revenues and the loss of customers. We may not be able to easily shift production to other facilities or to make up for lost production. In addition, our ability to meet customer demand has been constrained by our ability to manufacture product driven largely by supply chain constraints, among other factors. There can be no assurance that our current or future manufacturing footprint will be sufficient to meet customer demand or that we will be able to successfully expand or contract our manufacturing capacity to meet demand, which could result in loss of revenue and market share. Although we maintain insurance for damage to our property and disruption of our business from casualties, such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all of our potential losses. Any disruption in our manufacturing capacity could have an adverse impact on our ability to produce sufficient inventory of our products or may require us to incur additional expenses in order to produce sufficient inventory, and therefore, may adversely affect our net sales and operating results. Disruptions or delays at our manufacturing facilities could impair our ability to meet the demands of our customers, and our customers may cancel orders or purchase products from our competitors, which could adversely affect our business and operating results. We depend on suppliers, financing sources and other strategic partners who may be sensitive to economic conditions that could affect their businesses in a manner that adversely affects their relationship with us. We source component parts and raw materials through numerous suppliers and have relationships with a limited number of product financing sources for our dealers and consumers. Our sales growth and profitability could be adversely affected if deterioration of economic or business conditions results in a weakening of the financial condition of our suppliers or financing sources, or if uncertainty about inflation, the economy or the demand for our products causes these business partners to voluntarily or involuntarily reduce or terminate their relationship with us. 14 Failure to establish and maintain the appropriate level of dealers and distributor relationships or weak economic conditions impacting those relationships may negatively impact our business and operating results. We distribute our products through numerous dealers and distributors and rely on them to retail our products to our end customers and provide service on these products. Our sales growth and profitability could be adversely affected if deterioration of business conditions or reputational harm results in a weakening of the financial condition of our dealers and distributors. Additionally, weak demand for, or quality issues with, our products may cause dealers and distributors to voluntarily or involuntarily reduce or terminate their relationship with us. Further, if we fail to establish and maintain an appropriate level of dealers and distributors for each of our products, we may not obtain adequate market coverage for the desired level of retail sales of our products. Our operations require significant management attention and financial resources, expose us to difficulties presented by global economic, political, regulatory, accounting, and business factors, and may not be successful or produce desired levels of sales and profitability. Investments to increase our global presence, including adding employees and dealers and continuing to invest in business infrastructure and operations, might not produce the returns we expect, which could adversely affect our profitability. Our operations and sales are also subject to risks related to political and economic instability, including those caused by the war between Russia and Ukraine, increased costs of customizing products for foreign countries, labor market conditions, the imposition of tariffs and other trade barriers or costs, the impact of government laws and regulations, the effects of income and withholding taxes, governmental expropriation and differences in business practices in different markets, and multiple, changing, and often inconsistent enforcement of laws, rules, and regulations, including rules relating to environmental, health, and safety matters. The realization of any of these risks or unfavorable changes in the political, regulatory and business climate in any of the jurisdictions where we operate could have a material adverse effect on our total sales, financial condition, profitability, or cash flows. Weather conditions may reduce demand and negatively impact net sales and production of certain of our products. Unfavorable weather conditions may reduce demand and negatively impact sales of certain of the Company’s products. Unfavorable weather, including conditions caused in part by climate change, in any particular geographic region may have an adverse effect on sales of the Company’s products in that region. For example, lack of snowfall during winter may materially adversely affect snowmobile sales; excessive rain before and during spring and summer may materially adversely affect sales of off-road vehicles ATVs, and boats; a lack of rain in certain areas may limit boat usage and may materially adversely affect sales of boats; and wild fires can limit areas where our customers ride our off-road vehicles and ATVs. There can be no assurance that weather conditions or natural disasters will not have a material effect on our sales, production capability or component supply continuity for any of our products. Our operations are dependent upon attracting and retaining senior executives and skilled employees. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate, retain and promote skilled personnel for all areas of our organization and to retain or provide for adequate succession planning for our senior executives. Our success depends on attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Our ability to sustain and grow our business requires us to hire, retain and develop a highly skilled and diverse management team and workforce. Many members of the Company’s management team and other key employees have extensive experience in the Company’s industry and with its business, products and customers. The unplanned loss of members of the Company’s management team or other key employees, particularly if combined with difficulties in finding qualified replacements, could negatively affect the Company’s ability to develop and pursue its business strategy, which could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, the Company’s success depends to a large extent upon its ability to attract and retain skilled employees. There is intense competition for qualified and skilled employees, and a failure to recruit, train and retain such employees could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. The demand, supply, and operational challenges associated with the actual or perceived effects of COVID-19 and the related widespread impact on global supply chains may negatively impact our business and operating results. Our business has been, and may continue to be, negatively impacted by the fear of exposure to or actual effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States and other countries where we operate or our dealers or suppliers are located. Impacts on our operations include, but are not limited to: • Reductions in demand or significant future volatility in demand for one or more of our products; 15 • • Inability to meet our dealers’ or consumers’ demands due to disruptions in our manufacturing and supply arrangements caused by the loss or disruption of essential manufacturing and supply elements such as raw materials or other finished product components, transportation, workforce, or other manufacturing and distribution capability; Failure of third parties on which we rely, including our suppliers, contract manufacturers, distributors, and contractors to meet their obligations to the Company or to timely meet those obligations, which may be caused by their own financial or operational difficulties and may adversely impact our operations; These impacts may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, as well as the trading price of our securities. While we have seen increased demand for our products resulting in part from effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance that we can maintain or continue to expand demand for products in a post-pandemic era. Furthermore, COVID-19 and related supply chain disruptions have impacted and may further impact the broader economies of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and liquidity. Despite our efforts to manage and remedy COVID-19 related impacts to the Company, their ultimate impact also depends on factors beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, third-party actions taken to contain its spread and mitigate its public health effects, including efficacy and distribution of available vaccines to our employees and the general population, and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending. Product-Specific Risks A significant adverse determination in any material litigation claim against us could adversely affect our operating results or financial condition. The manufacture, sale and usage of products expose us to significant risks associated with product liability, economic loss, and other claims. If our products are found to be defective or are used incorrectly by our customers, bodily injury, property damage or other injury, including death, may result. This could give rise to material product liability or economic loss claims against us or adversely affect our brand image or reputation. Any losses that we may suffer from any such claims, and the effect that any such liability may have upon the reputation and marketability of our products, may have a negative impact on our business and operating results. The Company purchases excess insurance coverage for product liability claims for incidents occurring subsequent to the policy date that exceed our self-insured retention levels. Disputes with insurers could impact our recoveries under these policies. Furthermore, certain claims, such as economic loss claims, false marketing claims, and punitive damages, are uninsured. Product liability claims have not historically resulted in any material adverse effects on our financial statements, however, no assurance can be given that this will not change or that material product liability or other claims against us will not be made in the future. An unanticipated adverse determination of a material product liability claim or other material claim (particularly an uninsured issue) made against us could materially and adversely affect our financial condition. Significant product repair and/or replacement costs due to product warranty claims or product recalls could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. We generally provide limited warranties for our vehicles and boats. We may also provide longer warranties in certain geographical markets as determined by local regulations and customary practice or related to certain promotional programs. We also provide a limited emission warranty for certain emission-related parts in our ORVs, snowmobiles, and motorcycles as required by the EPA and CARB. Our standard warranties require us, through our dealer network, to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods. If a recall of our products were to be implemented, the repair and replacement costs we could incur in connection therewith could materially and adversely affect our business. Past product recalls have harmed our reputation and caused us to lose customers. Future product recalls could increasingly cause consumers to question the safety or reliability of our products and could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition. 16 Regulatory, Intellectual Property, Privacy and Cybersecurity Risks Our business, properties and products are subject to extensive United States federal and state and international safety, environmental and other government regulation and any failure to comply with these regulations could harm our reputation, expose us to damages and otherwise adversely affect our business. Our business, properties, and products are subject to numerous international, federal, state, and other governmental laws, rules, and regulations relating to, among other things: climate change; emissions to air; discharges to water; restrictions placed on water and land usage and water availability; product and associated packaging; use of certain chemicals; import and export compliance, including country of origin certification requirements; worker and product user health and safety; consumer privacy; energy efficiency; product life-cycles; outdoor noise laws; and the generation, use, handling, labeling, collection, management, storage, transportation, treatment, and disposal of hazardous substances, wastes, and other regulated materials. We are unable to predict the ultimate impact of adopted or future laws, rules, and regulations on our business, properties, or products. Any of these laws, rules, or regulations may cause us to incur significant expenses to achieve or maintain compliance, require us to modify our products, or modify our approach to our workforce, adversely affecting the price of or demand for some of our products, and ultimately affect the way we conduct our operations. Failure to comply with any of these laws, rules, or regulations could result in harm to our reputation and/or could lead to fines and other penalties, including restrictions on the importation of our products into, and the sale of our products in, one or more jurisdictions until compliance is achieved. In addition, changes to regulations may require us to incur expenses or modify product offerings in order to maintain compliance with the actions of regulators and could decrease the demand for our products. Our reliance upon patents, trademark laws, and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient to protect our intellectual property from others who may sell similar products and may lead to costly litigation. We hold patents and trademarks relating to various aspects of our products and believe that proprietary technical know- how is important to our business. Proprietary rights relating to our products are protected from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that they are covered by valid and enforceable patents or trademarks or are maintained in confidence as trade secrets. We cannot be certain that we will be issued any patents from any pending or future patent applications owned by or licensed to us or that the claims allowed under any issued patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. In the absence of enforceable patent or trademark protection, we may be vulnerable to competitors who attempt to copy our products, gain access to our trade secrets and know-how or diminish our brand through unauthorized use of our trademarks, all of which could adversely affect our business. Others may initiate litigation to challenge the validity of our patents, or allege that we infringe their patents, or they may use their resources to design comparable products that do not infringe our patents. We may incur substantial costs if our competitors initiate litigation to challenge the validity of our patents, or allege that we infringe their patents, or if we initiate proceedings to protect our proprietary rights. If the outcome of any such litigation is unfavorable to us, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected. Regardless of whether litigation relating to our intellectual property rights is successful, the litigation could significantly increase our costs and divert management’s attention from operation of our business, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We also cannot be certain that our products or technologies have not infringed or will not infringe the proprietary rights of others. Any such infringement could cause third parties, including our competitors, to bring claims against us, resulting in significant costs, possible damages and substantial uncertainty. We may be subject to cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions to our information technology systems and connected products that could adversely affect our business. We use many information technology systems, some of which are managed by third parties, and manufacture connected products (including connected vehicles), some of which are managed by third parties, in operating our business. Those systems and products process potentially sensitive information, including intellectual property; proprietary business information of Polaris and our dealers, suppliers, and other business partners; and personal information of consumers and employees. Our systems and products, including those managed by third parties, have been, and could be in the future vulnerable to breach, damage, disruption, or breakdown from various sources, including power loss, viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing, denial of service, and other cyber-attacks that may be random, targeted, or the result of misconduct of error by individuals with access to our systems. While we invest in layers of data and information technology protection, and monitor continually evolving cybersecurity threats, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent disruptions or breaches of our systems and connected products. 17 We have experienced cyber-attacks, as have third-parties who manage our information technology systems and other third-party suppliers and service providers, but to our knowledge, we have not experienced any material disruptions or breaches of our information technology systems, connected products, or operations as a result of such cyber-attacks. We could, however, experience material disruptions or breaches in the future. Such disruptions or breaches of our information technology systems and connected products could adversely affect our business by resulting in, among other things: (i) disruption to our business operations; (ii) compromise or loss of the information processed by those systems and products, such as intellectual property, proprietary information, or personal information; (iii) impact to the performance and/or safety of our connected products; (iv) damage to our reputation; and (v) litigation or regulatory proceedings. We are subject to laws and regulations in the United States and other countries concerning the handling of personal information, including laws that require us to notify governmental authorities and/or affected individuals of data breaches involving certain personal information. These laws and regulations include, for example, the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). Regulatory actions or litigation seeking to impose significant penalties could be brought against us in the event of a data breach or alleged non- compliance with such laws and regulations. Finance and Capital Structure Risks Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates could result in declines in our reported sales and net earnings. The changing relationships of the United States dollar to the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, the Euro, the Swiss franc, the Mexican peso, and certain other foreign currencies have from time to time had a negative impact on our results of operations. Fluctuations in the value of the United States dollar relative to these foreign currencies can adversely affect the price of our products in foreign markets, the costs we incur to import certain components for our products, and the translation of our foreign balance sheets. In addition, with the recent strengthening of the United States dollar, we have experienced a corresponding negative impact on our financial results with respect to our foreign operations. While we actively manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates by entering into foreign exchange hedging contracts from time to time, these contracts hedge foreign currency denominated transactions, and any change in the fair value of the contracts would be offset by changes in the underlying value of the transactions being hedged. Retail credit market deterioration and volatility may restrict the ability of our retail customers to finance the purchase of our products and adversely affect our income from financial services. We have arrangements with third parties to make retail financing available to consumers who purchase our products in the United States. Furthermore, some customers use financing from lenders who do not partner with us, such as local banks and credit unions. There can be no assurance that retail financing will continue to be available in the same amounts and under the same terms that had been previously available to our customers. If retail financing is not available to customers on satisfactory terms, consumer demand could be materially impacted and our sales and profitability could be adversely affected. We have a significant amount of debt outstanding and must comply with restrictive covenants in our debt agreements. Our credit agreement and other debt agreements contain financial and restrictive covenants that may limit our ability to, among other things, borrow additional funds or take advantage of business opportunities. While we are currently in compliance with the financial covenants, increases in our debt or decreases in our earnings could cause us to fail to comply with these financial covenants. Failing to comply with such covenants could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all our indebtedness or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operation and debt service capability. Our level of debt and the financial and restrictive covenants contained in our credit agreement could have important consequences on our financial position and results of operations, including increasing our vulnerability to increases in interest rates because debt under our credit agreement bears interest at variable rates. Additional tax expense or tax exposure could impact our financial performance. General Risks We are subject to income taxes and other business taxes in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Our tax liabilities are dependent upon the earnings generated in these different jurisdictions. Our provision for income taxes and cash tax liability could be adversely affected by numerous factors, including income before taxes being lower than anticipated in jurisdictions with lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated in jurisdictions with higher statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in tax laws and regulations in various 18 jurisdictions. We also have negotiated and are party to certain tax incentives that require the Company comply with certain covenants. We are also subject to the continuous examination of our income tax returns by various tax authorities. The results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns and continuing assessments of our tax exposures or the loss of any tax incentive may have an adverse effect on the Company’s provision for income taxes and cash tax liability. An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill and trade names could negatively impact our consolidated results of operations and net worth. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as our trade names, are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Our determination of whether goodwill impairment has occurred is based on a comparison of each of our reporting units’ fair market value with its carrying value. Significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, such as significant and long-term adverse changes in business climate, negative perception of the Company’s brands and tradenames, unanticipated competition, and/or changes in technology or markets, could require a provision for impairment in a future period that could negatively impact our reported earnings and reduce our consolidated net worth and shareholders’ equity. Expectation relating to environmental, social and governance considerations expose us to potential liabilities, increased costs, reputational harm and other adverse effects on our business. Many governments, regulators, investors, employees, customers and other stakeholders are increasingly focused on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations relating to businesses, including climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, human capital and diversity, equity and inclusion. We make statements about our ESG goals and initiatives through information provided on our website, press statements and other communications, including through our “Geared for Good” ESG Report. Responding to these ESG considerations and implementation of these goals and initiatives involves risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Forward-Looking Statements,” requires investments and are impacted by factors that may be outside of our control. In addition, some stakeholders may disagree with our goals and initiatives and the focus of stakeholders may change and evolve over time. Stakeholders also may have very different views on where ESG focus should be placed, including differing views of regulators in various jurisdictions in which we operate. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to achieve our goals, further our initiatives, adhere to our public statements, comply with federal, state or international ESG laws and regulations, or meet evolving and varied stakeholder expectations and standards could result in legal and regulatory proceedings against us and materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and stock price.

Additionally, we have over six million square feet of global warehouse and distribution center space. We also have international office facilities in Western Europe, Australia, Brazil, India, China, Japan, and Mexico. We own substantially all tooling and machinery used in the manufacture of our products. We make ongoing capital investments in our facilities. These investments have increased production capacity for our products. We believe our current manufacturing and distribution facilities are adequate in size and suitable for our present manufacturing and distribution needs. Item 3. Legal Proceedings We are involved in a number of legal proceedings incidental to our business, none of which is presently expected to have a material effect on the financial results of our business. As of the date hereof, we are party to putative class actions brought by the same plaintiff’s counsel and largely repeating the same allegations regarding various state consumer protection laws focused on rollover protection systems’ certifications for various Polaris off-road vehicles sold in California and Oregon. The first case brought related to this matter—Guzman—was first reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The district court granted summary judgment against both plaintiffs’ claims, which the plaintiffs appealed. The Ninth Circuit recently issued two rulings that reversed the district court’s summary judgment rulings and remanded the case to the district court with instructions to dismiss one plaintiff’s claims without prejudice. The plaintiff whose claims were dismissed without prejudice refiled a putative class action in California State Court under the name Albright. The second case—Hellman/Berlanga—was first reported in the Company’s quarterly report for the period ended June 30, 20 2021. Additional similar putative class actions on behalf of certain plaintiffs dismissed from the Hellman case have been filed in Texas (Lollar), Nevada (Mitchell), and Oregon (Artoff), though the Lollar and Mitchell matters have since been dismissed, and another plaintiff from the Hellman/Berlanga matter, Michael Hellman, has been dismissed. As previously reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, the district court in In re Polaris dismissed half of the plaintiffs and their claims related to alleged fire hazards in certain Polaris products. Plaintiffs’ counsel voluntarily dismissed the remaining plaintiffs to appeal. The Eighth Circuit affirmed dismissal of the claims brought by plaintiffs who had appealed. On April 28, 2022, the In re Polaris plaintiffs’ counsel filed a new, substantially similar putative class action in California State Court, seeking damages for alleged economic loss: James DeBiasio v. Polaris Industries Inc. (County of Los Angeles, Ca.). We removed the matter to federal court in June 2022 (C.D. Cal.) and have moved to dismiss the plaintiff’s claims; plaintiff filed a motion to remand the case. The district court denied plaintiff’s motion to remand and granted our motion to dismiss, allowing plaintiff to file an amended complaint. We recently moved to dismiss plaintiff’s amended complaint and the Court is scheduled to hold a hearing on the motion in March 2023. As previously reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2021, the district court in Johannessohn denied class certification related to plaintiffs’ claims of excessive heat hazards in Sportsman ATVs. The Eighth Circuit subsequently affirmed that denial. On June 13, 2022, Johannessohn plaintiffs’ counsel filed a new, substantially similar putative class action in Minnesota state court, seeking damages for alleged economic loss: Jay Miller, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Polaris Inc. (4th Dist. Minn.). After we moved to dismiss, the Miller court dismissed plaintiff’s class claims with prejudice, leaving only his individual claims for alleged economic loss. With respect to each of these putative class action lawsuits, the Company is unable to provide any reasonable evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or any reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 21 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Shares of common stock of Polaris Inc. trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PII. On February 10, 2023, there were 1,655 shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock and the last reported sale price for shares of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $115.20 per share. The Company has historically paid cash dividends and expects to continue to pay comparable cash dividends in the future, subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, which will depend on market and other conditions. STOCK PERFORMANCE GRAPH The following graph compares the five-year cumulative total return to shareholders (stock price appreciation plus reinvested dividends) for the Company’s common stock with the comparable cumulative return of three indexes: S&P Midcap 400 Index, S&P Composite 1500 Leisure Products Index, and Morningstar’s Global Recreational Vehicles Index. The S&P Composite 1500 Leisure Products Index will replace the Morningstar Global Recreational Vehicles Index in this analysis going forward as it includes companies that are more closely aligned with our industry and strategic direction. The graph assumes the investment of $100 at the close on December 31, 2017 in common stock of the Company and in each of the indexes, and the reinvestment of all dividends since that date to December 31, 2022. Points on the graph represent the performance as of the last business day of each of the years indicated.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion pertains to the results of operations and financial position of the Company and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2022 and 2021 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021. Discussions of 2020 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021 and 2020 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Overview 2022 was a record year for sales which totaled $8.6 billion, a 15 percent increase from 2021. The Company achieved growth across all segments and regions driven primarily by favorable product mix and higher pricing compared to 2021. The impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic as well as other disruptive events have impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The impact of these factors has affected our business segments, employees, dealers, suppliers, and customers in a variety of ways. In 2021 and the first half of 2022 we saw strong retail demand for our products. Consistent with macroeconomic trends, as we progressed through 2022, we have seen indicators of demand moderating. Due to the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic, heightened demand, natural disasters, and geopolitical events, including the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related sanctions, our supply chain and manufacturing operations have experienced inefficiencies caused by production-limiting disruptions, including supplier labor shortages. Although these disruptions are moderating, we have made pricing changes to address the resulting increase in production costs. The duration of these trends and the magnitude of such impacts cannot be precisely estimated at this time, as they are affected by a number of factors (some of which are outside management’s control), including those presented in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Annual Report. Full year net income from continuing operations attributable to Polaris Inc. of $602.9 million increased 22 percent from 2021, with diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increasing from $7.92 to $10.04 per share. These increases were primarily driven by higher pricing and favorable product mix. On February 2, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a two percent increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.65 per share for the first quarter of 2023, representing the 28th consecutive year of increased dividends to shareholders. 24 Consolidated Results of Operations The consolidated results of operations were as follows: For the Years Ended December 31, ($ in millions except per share data) Sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 8,589.0 Cost of sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 6,629.5 Gross profit . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 1,959.5 2022 2021 $ 7,439.2 $ 5,688.3 $ 1,750.9 Percentage of sales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22.8 % 23.5 % Operating expenses: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Volume contributed a one percent increase in 2022 driven by increased motorcycle and snowmobile shipments, partially offset by lower off-road vehicle shipments. Currency rate movements drove a two percent decrease in sales for 2022. Volume contributed a nine percent increase in 2021 driven by increased shipments in all segments, but most significantly ORV, as well as higher PG&A sales. Product mix and price contributed an eight percent increase in 2021, primarily due to lower promotional spending and increased product pricing.

Sales in the United States for 2021 increased 13 percent, primarily driven by increased ORV and boat shipments, as well as higher PG&A sales. Sales in Canada for 2022 increased six percent during the year, primarily driven by favorable product mix and higher pricing. Currency rate movements had an unfavorable impact of four percentage points on sales in 2022. Sales in Canada represented seven percent of total company sales in 2022.

Sales in other countries, primarily in Europe, increased four percent during 2022, primarily driven by increased motorcycle shipments and higher pricing. Currency rate movements had an unfavorable impact of nine percentage points on sales in 2022. Sales in other countries represented 14 percent of total company sales in 2022. Sales in other foreign countries increased 34 percent during 2021, primarily driven by increased ORV and motorcycle shipments. Currency rate movements had a favorable impact of five percentage points on sales in 2021. 26 Cost of sales: The following table reflects our cost of sales in dollars and as a percentage of sales: Percent of Total Cost of Sales 2021 Percent of Total Cost of Sales Change 2022 vs. 2021 2022 Percent of Total Cost of Sales Change 2021 vs. 2020 2020 For the Years Ended December 31, ($ in millions) Purchased materials and services . . .

Cost of sales increased 20 percent in 2021 primarily due to increased wholegood and PG&A shipments, as well as higher labor, raw materials, and logistics costs. Gross profit: Gross profit for 2022, as a percentage of sales, decreased primarily due to higher input costs including logistics, components, and commodity prices, plant inefficiencies related to supply chain constraints, and higher warranty costs, partially offset by higher pricing and favorable product mix. Gross profit for 2021, as a percentage of sales, decreased primarily due to higher input costs including logistics, components, and commodity prices, as well as plant inefficiencies related to supply chain constraints. The decrease was partially offset by higher sales volume, lower promotional costs and favorable pricing. Operating expenses: Operating expenses for 2022, in absolute dollars, increased compared to 2021, primarily due to higher research and development and general and administrative expenses. Operating expenses for 2022, as a percent of sales, decreased compared to 2021, primarily due to higher pricing and favorable mix which drove increased sales. Operating expenses for 2021, in absolute dollars and as a percent of sales, decreased primarily due to the prior year impairment of goodwill, partially offset by an increase in total operating expenses to levels commensurate with increases in demand.

Other (income) expense, net: Other (income) expense is the result of currency exchange rate movements and the corresponding effects on currency transactions related to our international subsidiaries. Also included in Other (income) expense, net in 2021 is a $7.7 million impairment charge related to an investment in a strategic partner that was associated with a divested business. Loss on sale of businesses: In the fourth quarter of 2021, we divested our GEM and Taylor-Dunn businesses which resulted in a $36.8 million loss. Provision for income taxes: The decrease in the effective income tax rate for 2022 was primarily due to an increased deduction for Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) and incremental foreign tax credits, partially offset by a decrease in research and development credits, as well as the unfavorable impact of higher pretax income generated in the current period. The increase in the effective income tax rate for 2021 was primarily due to the favorable impact of lower pretax income generated in 2020 and the release of certain income tax reserves due to favorable federal tax examination developments in 2020. The increase was partially offset by favorable income tax benefits in jurisdictions with lower tax rates, as well as favorable income tax benefits from research and development credits in 2021. Weighted average shares outstanding: Weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased in 2022 primarily due to share repurchases. Segment Results of Operations On January 1, 2022, the Company began management of its portfolio of businesses under a new basis as a result of the divestiture of the GEM and Taylor-Dunn businesses. As a such, the Global Adjacent Markets segment was eliminated and the results of the Company’s remaining businesses historically included within the Global Adjacent Markets segment were reclassified to the Off Road and On Road segments. All historical segment results were reclassified for comparability, including the divested businesses which are included in Corporate. On June 30, 2022, the Company again began management of its portfolio of businesses under a new basis as a result of the divestiture of TAP. As such, the Aftermarket segment was eliminated and the results of the Company’s remaining aftermarket businesses historically included within the Aftermarket segment were reclassified to the Off Road and On Road segments. All historical segment results were reclassified for comparability. The summary that follows provides a discussion of the results of operations of each of our three reportable segments, Off Road, On Road, and Marine. Each of these segments is comprised of various product offerings that serve multiple end markets. We evaluate performance based on sales and gross profit. The Corporate amounts include revenues and costs of businesses that were divested in 2021, as well as costs that are not allocated to segments, including certain unallocated manufacturing costs. Businesses that are presented as discontinued operations are excluded from the tables below. 28 Our sales and gross profit by reporting segment, which includes the respective PG&A, were as follows: For the Years Ended December 31, ($ in millions) Off Road . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ On Road . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Off Road sales increased 16 percent in 2021 driven by broad-based demand and shipments across ATV and side-by-side product lines, including PG&A, as well as increased pricing. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased in 2021 primarily due to higher input costs including logistics, components, and commodity prices, as well as plant inefficiencies related to supply chain constraints, partially offset by favorable mix, lower promotional costs, and higher pricing. 29 On Road: On Road sales, inclusive of PG&A sales, increased 13 percent in 2022 driven by higher pricing and increased shipments. On Road sales to customers outside of North America increased four percent in 2022 driven by higher pricing, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movement. The average per unit sales price for the On Road segment increased two percent, driven by favorable product mix and higher pricing. Additional information on our On Road end markets for 2022: • • • Indian Motorcycle North America unit retail sales down low-twenties percent Estimated North America industry 900cc cruiser, touring, and standard motorcycle unit retail sales down low- double digits percent Polaris North America motorcycle dealer inventories up approximately 90 percent Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased in 2022 primarily due to favorable product mix and lower promotional costs, partially offset by higher input costs, warranty costs, and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate movement. On Road sales increased 28 percent in 2021 driven by increased Indian motorcycle and Slingshot shipments as a result of strong retail sales, lower promotional costs, and higher PG&A sales. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased in 2021 primarily due to lower promotional costs, partially offset by increased input costs related to supply chain constraints. Marine: Marine sales increased 30 percent, primarily due to favorable product mix and increased shipments. The average per unit sales price for the Marine segment increased 15 percent, driven by favorable product mix. Additional information on our boat end markets for 2022: • • Polaris U.S pontoon unit retail sales down mid-twenties percent Estimated U.S. industry pontoon unit retail sales down high-single digits percent Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased slightly primarily due to favorable product mix, mostly offset by higher input costs and higher floor plan interest expense. Marine sales increased 26 percent in 2021, primarily due to increased production levels driven by retail and demand, as well as higher pricing and favorable mix. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased in 2021, primarily due to favorable product mix, partially offset by higher input costs related to supply chain constraints. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our primary sources of funds have been cash provided by operating and financing activities. Our primary uses of funds have been for acquisitions, repurchases and retirement of common stock, capital investments, new product development, and cash dividends to shareholders. The seasonality of production and shipments cause working capital requirements to fluctuate during the year and year to year. We believe that existing cash balances, cash flow to be generated from operating activities and borrowing capacity under the credit facility arrangement will be sufficient to fund operations, new product development, cash dividends, share repurchases, and capital requirements for at least the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter. 30 Cash Flows The following table summarizes the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities of continuing operations: ($ in millions) Total cash provided by (used for): For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Change 2022 vs. 2021 2020 Change 2021 vs. 2020 Operating activities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Investing activities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in 2021 was primarily the result of higher working capital additions due to increases in inventory driven by strong end-market demand and supply chain inefficiencies, partially offset by higher net income. Investing Activities: The primary sources and uses of cash in 2022 and 2021 were for the purchase of property, equipment and tooling for continued capacity and capability at our manufacturing and distribution facilities and for product development, distributions from and contributions to Polaris Acceptance, as well as proceeds from the sale of businesses. Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations increased in 2022 due to a net a decrease in distributions from Polaris Acceptance and an increase in property, equipment and tooling purchases, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of businesses. Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations increased in 2021 due to an increase in property, equipment and tooling purchases. Financing Activities: The increase in net cash used for financing activities was primarily due to lower proceeds from stock issuances under employee plans and decreased net borrowings under debt arrangements, finance lease obligations and notes payable. Net borrowings totaled $257.7 million in 2022 compared $351.3 million in 2021. Higher share repurchases also contributed to the increase. Financing Arrangements: We are party to an unsecured Master Note Purchase Agreement, as amended and supplemented, under which we have issued senior notes. As of December 31, 2022, outstanding borrowings under the Master Note Purchase Agreement totaled $350.0 million. We are also party to an unsecured credit agreement, which includes a $1.0 billion variable interest rate Revolving Loan Facility that matures in June 2026, under which we have unsecured borrowings. As of December 31, 2022, there were borrowings of $312.9 million outstanding under the Revolving Loan Facility. Our credit agreement also includes a Term Loan Facility, on which $828.0 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2022. Interest is charged at rates based on adjusted Term SOFR for the credit facility. As of December 31, 2022, we had $679.6 million of availability on the Revolving Loan Facility. In December 2021, we amended the credit agreement to provide an unsecured incremental 364-day term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) in the amount of $500 million, which was fully drawn on closing. In December 2022, we further amended the unsecured credit facility to extend the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loan to December 15, 2023. There are no required principal payments prior to the maturity date. In addition to the payment of the $500 million 31 Incremental Term Loan, we are required to make principal payments under the Term Loan Facility totaling $45 million over the next 12 months. The credit agreements governing the facility and the Master Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that require us to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The agreements require us to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 on a rolling four-quarter basis. On July 2, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 29, 2018, the we completed the acquisition of Boat Holdings, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana which manufactures boats (“Boat Holdings”). As a component of the Boat Holdings merger agreement, we have committed to make a series of deferred payments to the former owners following the closing date of the mthrough July 2030. The original discounted payable was for $76.7 million, of which $55.3 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we were in compliance with all debt covenants. Our debt to total capital ratio was 65 percent and 60 percent as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2022, we had letters of credit outstanding of $38.5 million, primarily related to purchase obligations for raw materials. Share Repurchases: As of December 31, 2022, our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $349.1 million of our common stock. We repurchased a total of 4.4 million shares of our common stock for $505.0 million during 2022, which had a favorable impact on diluted net income from continuing operations per share of 33 cents. Wholesale Customer Financing Arrangements: We have arrangements with certain finance companies to provide secured floor plan financing for our dealers. These arrangements provide liquidity by financing dealer purchases of our products without the use of our working capital. A majority of the worldwide sales of snowmobiles, ORVs, motorcycles, boats and related PG&A are financed under similar arrangements whereby we receive payment within a few days of shipment of the product. The amount financed by worldwide dealers under these arrangements related to snowmobiles, ORVs, motorcycles, boats and related PG&A as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, was approximately $1,893.9 million and $946.7 million, respectively. We participate in the cost of dealer financing up to certain limits. Under these arrangements, we have agreed to repurchase products repossessed by these finance companies. As of December 31, 2022, the potential aggregate repurchase obligations were approximately $413.5 million. Our financial exposure under these repurchase agreements is limited to the difference between the amounts unpaid by the dealer with respect to the repossessed product plus costs of repossession and the amount received on the resale of the repossessed product. No material losses have been incurred under these agreements during the periods presented. Retail Customer Financing Arrangements: We have agreements with third-party financing companies to provide financing options to end consumers of our products. We have no material contingent liabilities for residual value or credit collection risk under these agreements. During 2022, consumers financed 23 percent of our vehicles sold in the United States through these arrangements. The volume of installment credit contracts written in calendar year 2022 with these institutions was $1,098.0 million, a one percent increase from 2021. Critical Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates We have adopted various accounting policies to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of those significant accounting policies require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates. An accounting estimate is considered to be critical if it meets both of the following criteria: (i) the estimate requires assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate is made, and (ii) different estimates reasonably could have been used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur may have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. The significant accounting policies that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following: revenue recognition, sales promotions and incentives, product warranties, product liability, and goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. 32 Revenue recognition. With respect to wholegood vehicles, boats, and PG&A, revenue is recognized when we transfer control of the product to our customer (primarily dealers and distributors). With respect to services provided by us, revenue is recognized upon completion of the service or over the term of the service agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations over the term of the service period. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected from a customer concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. When the right of return exists, we adjust the consideration for the estimated effect of returns. We estimate expected returns based on historical sales levels, the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales, type of product, type of customer, and a projection of this experience into the future. We have agreed to repurchase products repossessed by the finance companies up to certain limits. Our financial exposure is limited to the difference between the amount paid to the finance companies and the amount received on the resale of the repossessed product. Sales promotions and incentives. We accrue for estimated sales promotion and incentive expenses, which are recognized as a component of sales in measuring the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Examples of sales promotion and incentive programs include dealer and consumer rebates, volume incentives, retail financing programs and sales associate incentives. Sales promotion and incentive expenses are estimated based on current programs, planned programs, and historical rates for each product line. We record these amounts as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet until they are ultimately paid. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, accrued sales promotions and incentives were $127.0 million and $96.9 million, respectively. Actual results may differ from these estimates if market conditions dictate the need to enhance or reduce sales promotion and incentive programs or if the customer usage rate varies from historical trends. Adjustments to sales promotions and incentives accruals are made as actual usage becomes known in order to properly estimate the amounts necessary to generate consumer demand based on market conditions as of the balance sheet date. Product warranties. We typically provide a limited warranty for our vehicles and boats for a period of six months to ten years, depending on the product. We provide longer warranties in certain geographical markets as determined by local regulations and customary practice and may also provide longer warranties related to certain promotional programs. Our standard warranties require us, generally through our dealer network, to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods. The warranty reserve is established at the time of sale to the dealer or distributor based on management’s best estimate using historical rates and trends. We record these amounts as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet until they are ultimately paid. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the accrued warranty liability was $172.9 million and $132.9 million, respectively. Adjustments to the warranty reserve are made based on actual claims experience in order to properly estimate the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. The warranty reserve includes the estimated costs related to recalls, which are accrued when probable and estimable. Factors that could have an impact on the warranty accrual include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix, changes in warranty coverage periods, impacts on product usage (including weather), product recalls and changes in sales volume. Amounts estimated to be due and payable could differ materially from what will ultimately transpire in the future and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Product liability. We are subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. In 2012, we began purchasing excess insurance coverage for product liability claims. We self-insure product liability claims before the policy date and up to the purchased insurance coverage after the policy date. The estimated costs resulting from any losses are charged to operating expenses when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. There is significant judgment and estimation required in evaluating the possible outcomes and potential losses of product liability matters. We utilize claims experience, historical trends and actuarial analysis, along with an analysis of current claims, to assist in determining the appropriate loss reserve levels. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had accruals of $107.5 million and $70.3 million, respectively, for the probable payment of pending claims related to product liability litigation associated with our products. Adverse determination of material product liability claims made against us could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Goodwill. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment and is tested for impairment more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We complete our annual goodwill impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter. We may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. A qualitative assessment requires that we consider events or circumstances including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, changes in management or key personnel, changes in strategy, changes in customers, changes in the composition or 33 carrying amount of a reporting unit’s net assets, and changes in our stock price. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or if we elect to bypass the qualitative test and proceed to a quantitative test, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. A quantitative test includes comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, an impairment is recognized in an amount equal to the difference, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Under the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and market approach. Determining the fair value of the reporting units requires the use of significant judgment, including discount rates, assumptions in our long-term business plan about future revenues and expenses, capital expenditures, and changes in working capital, which are dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of long-term growth for each reporting unit, and determination of the discount rate. These plans take into consideration numerous factors including historical experience, anticipated future economic conditions, changes in raw material prices and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which we participate. These assumptions are determined over a five year long-term planning period. The five year growth rates for revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") vary for each reporting unit being evaluated. Revenues and EBITDA beyond five years are projected to grow at a terminal growth rate consistent with industry expectations. Actual results may significantly differ from those used in our valuations. The forecasted future cash flows are discounted using a discount rate developed for each reporting unit. The discount rates were developed using market observable inputs, as well as our assessment of risks inherent in the future cash flows of the respective reporting unit. In estimating fair value using the market approach, we identify a group of comparable publicly traded companies for each reporting unit that are similar in terms of size and product offering. These groups of comparable companies are used to develop multiples based on total market-based invested capital as a multiple of EBITDA. We determine our estimated values by applying these comparable EBITDA multiples to the operating results of our reporting units. The ultimate fair value of each reporting unit is determined considering the results of both valuation methods. Inputs used to estimate these fair values included significant unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use and, therefore, the fair value assessments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we completed the annual impairment test. It was determined that goodwill was not impaired as each reporting unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying value. We completed a qualitative assessment for all reporting units. Identifiable intangible assets. Our primary identifiable intangible assets include: dealer/customer relationships, brand/ trade names, developed technology, and non-compete agreements. Identifiable intangibles with finite lives are amortized and those identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We complete our annual impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter each year for identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives. Our identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives include brand/trade names. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the brand/trade name with its carrying value. The fair value is determined using the relief- from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade name has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from them. This method requires us to estimate the future revenue for the related brands, the appropriate royalty rate and the discount rate. Forecasted revenues are derived from our annual budget and long-term business plan and royalty rates were based on brand profitability. The discount rates are developed using the market observable inputs used in the development of the reporting unit discount rates, as well as our assessment of risks inherent in the future cash flows of the respective trade name. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we completed the annual impairment test. It was determined that our indefinite lived intangible assets were not impaired. 34 New Accounting Pronouncements See Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies—New accounting pronouncements.” Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Inflation, Foreign Exchange Rates, and Interest Rates Inflation: Rising costs, including wages, logistics, components, and commodity prices, are negatively impacting our gross profit margins. We strive to minimize the effects of inflation through cost containment, productivity improvements and price increases. We are subject to market risk from fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials, including steel, aluminum, petroleum-based resins, certain rare earth metals and diesel fuel. In addition, we are a purchaser of components and parts containing various commodities, including steel, aluminum, rubber and others, which are integrated into our end products. While such materials are typically available from numerous suppliers, commodity raw materials are subject to price fluctuations. We generally buy these commodities and components based upon market prices that are established with the vendor as part of the purchase process. The total impact of commodities, had an unfavorable impact on our gross profit margins for 2022 when compared to 2021. Based on our current outlook for commodity prices, the total impact of commodities is expected to have a favorable impact on our gross profit margins for 2023 when compared to 2022. Foreign Exchange Rates: The changing relationships of the U.S. dollar to foreign currencies can have a material impact on our financial results. Euro: We have operations in the Eurozone through wholly owned subsidiaries and distributors. We also purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in Euros. Fluctuations in the Euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate impacts sales, cost of sales, and net income. Canadian Dollar: We operate in Canada through a wholly owned subsidiary. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar impacts both sales and net income. Other currencies: We operate in various countries, principally in Europe, Mexico and Australia, through wholly owned subsidiaries. We also sell to certain distributors in other countries. We also purchase components from certain suppliers directly for our U.S. operations in transactions denominated in these foreign currencies. The relationship of the U.S. dollar in relation to these other currencies impacts sales, cost of sales and net income. Foreign exchange risk can be quantified by performing a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical change in the value of the U.S. dollar compared to other currencies in which we transact. We are most exposed to the Euro and Canadian dollar. All other things being equal, at current annual volumes, a hypothetical 10 percent fluctuation of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro impacts annual operating income by approximately $20 million and a hypothetical 10 percent fluctuation of the U.S. dollar compared to the Canadian Dollar impacts annual operating income by approximately $53 million. We actively manage our exposure to fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates by entering into foreign exchange hedging contracts. A portion of our foreign currency exposure is mitigated with the following open foreign currency hedging contracts as of December 31, 2022: Foreign Currency Foreign currency hedging contracts Currency Position Notional amounts (in millions of U.S. dollars) Average exchange rate of open contracts Australian Dollar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We expect currencies to have a negative impact on net income in 2023 compared to 2022. The assets and liabilities in all our international entities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and expenses in all of our international entities are translated at the average foreign exchange rate in effect for each month of the year. Certain assets and liabilities related to intercompany positions reported on our consolidated balance sheet that are denominated in a currency other than the entity’s functional currency are translated at the foreign exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the associated gains and losses are included in net income. Interest Rates: We are a party to an unsecured credit agreement with various lenders consisting of a $1.0 billion revolving loan facility, a $1.2 billion term loan facility, and a $500 million incremental term loan. Interest accrues on the revolving loan, term loans, and the incremental term loan at variable rates based on adjusted Term SOFR plus the applicable add-on percentage as defined. As of December 31, 2022, there was $312.9 million outstanding on the revolving loan, $828.0 million outstanding on the term loan, and $500 million outstanding on the incremental term loan. We enter into interest rate swaps in order to maintain a balanced risk of fixed and floating interest rates associated with our debt. Based on the unhedged variable-rate debt included in our debt portfolio as of December 31, 2022, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease interest expense by approximately $8 million. 36 Item 8.

This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this evaluation, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—2013 Integrated Framework. Based on management’s evaluation and those criteria, management concluded that the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022. Management’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing on the following page, in which they expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. /S/ MICHAEL T. SPEETZEN Michael T. Speetzen Chief Executive Officer /S/ ROBERT P. MACK Robert P. Mack Chief Financial Officer February 17, 2023 Further discussion of our internal controls and procedures is included in Item 9A of this report, under the caption “Controls and Procedures.” 38 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Polaris Inc. Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited Polaris Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Polaris Inc. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a), and our report dated February 17, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota February 17, 2023 39 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Polaris Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Polaris Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 17, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Product Liability Description of the Matter At December 31, 2022, the Company had an accrual of $107.5 million for the probable payment of pending claims related to product liability litigation associated with the Company’s products. As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. The Company records product liability reserves for losses that are probable and reasonably estimable, utilizing historical trends and actuarial analysis, along with an analysis of current claims. Auditing management’s accounting for product liability claims was especially challenging due to the significant judgment and estimation required in evaluating the probability and amount of loss, as well as the actuarial methods applied. 40 How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We identified and tested controls over the identification and evaluation of product liability claims, including the Company’s assessment and measurement of the estimate of the probable liability. We tested controls over management's review of the methods, significant assumptions, and the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used by management’s actuarial specialist to assist management in estimating the product liability reserve. To test management’s assessment of the probability of occurrence of a loss and whether the amount of loss was reasonably estimable, we inquired of internal counsel and other members of management to discuss the facts and circumstances, including possible outcomes and potential losses. In addition, we received internal and external legal counsel inquiry letters and obtained a representation letter from the Company. To test the measurement of the product liability claims, we evaluated the method of measuring the contingency and tested the accuracy and completeness of the data used to determine a range of loss. In addition, we involved internal actuarial specialists to assist with our procedures related to the measurement of the product liability reserve. To evaluate the historical accuracy of management’s estimates, we performed a retrospective analysis of resolved claims to management’s previous estimates. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2002.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies Polaris Inc. (“Polaris” or the “Company”), a Minnesota corporation, and its subsidiaries are engaged in the design, engineering, manufacturing and marketing of powersports vehicles, which include: off-road vehicles (“ORV”), including all-terrain vehicles (“ATV”) and side-by-side vehicles; military and commercial ORVs; snowmobiles; motorcycles; moto-roadsters; quadricycles; boats; and related Parts, Garments and Accessories (“PG&A”), which includes aftermarket accessories and apparel. Polaris products are sold worldwide online and through a network of independent dealers and distributors. The primary markets for the Company’s products are the United States, Canada, Western Europe, Australia and Mexico. Basis of presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Polaris and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Income from financial services is reported as a component of operating income to better reflect income from ongoing operations, of which financial services has a significant impact. The Company evaluates consolidation of entities under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810. This Topic requires management to evaluate whether an entity or interest is a variable interest entity and whether the company is the primary beneficiary. The Company used the guidelines to analyze the Company’s relationships and concluded that there were no variable interest entities requiring consolidation by the Company. Reclassifications. Reclassifications of certain prior year segment results and account balances have been made to conform to the current-year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on the consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, or cash flows, as previously reported. Refer to Note 16 for additional information. On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Transamerican Auto Parts (“TAP”) business. The operating results of the TAP business are reported in loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated statements of income for all periods presented. In addition, the related assets and liabilities are reported as assets and liabilities held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. All amounts and disclosures included in the notes to consolidated financial statements reflect only the Company's continuing operations, unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 4 for additional information. Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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 and interest rate 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 47 approach the Company uses significant other observable inputs to value its derivative instruments used to hedge foreign currency and interest rate transactions. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions): Input Level December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Assets Non-qualified deferred compensation assets . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and short-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt, finance lease obligations and notes payable, approximate their fair values. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, finance lease obligations and notes payable was approximately $2,070.3 million and $1,870.0 million, respectively, and was determined primarily using Level 2 inputs, including quoted market prices or discounted cash flows based on quoted market rates for similar types of debt. The carrying value of long-term debt, finance lease obligations and notes payable including current maturities was $2,057.8 million and $1,800.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The Company will impair or write off an investment and recognize a loss when events or circumstances indicate there is impairment in the investment that is other-than-temporary. The amount of loss is determined by measuring the investment at fair value. Refer to Note 12 for additional information. Cash equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Such investments consist principally of money market mutual funds. Restricted cash. The Company classifies amounts of cash that are restricted in terms of their use and withdrawal separately within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s restricted cash is comprised primarily of cash held in trust accounts not available for general use due to contractual restrictions. Allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company’s exposure to credit losses on accounts receivable is limited due to its agreements with certain finance companies. For receivables not serviced through these finance companies, the Company establishes a reserve for doubtful accounts based on historical credit loss experience, the age of the accounts receivables, credit quality of our customers, current and expected economic conditions, and other factors that may affect our ability to collect from customers. Inventories. Inventory costs include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs, including depreciation expense associated with the manufacture and distribution of the Company’s products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with substantially all inventories recorded using the first-in, first-out method. Finished goods include products that are completed and ready for sale or substantially completed as the product has gone through the primary manufacturing and assembly process. Investment in finance affiliate. The caption investment in finance affiliate in the consolidated balance sheets represents the Company’s fifty percent equity interest in Polaris Acceptance. The Company’s allocable share of the income of Polaris Acceptance has been included as a component of income from financial services in the consolidated statements of income. Refer to Note 11 for additional information. Investment in other affiliates. The Company’s investment in other affiliates is included within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets, and represents the Company’s investment in nonmarketable securities of strategic companies. For each investment, the Company assesses the level of influence in determining whether to account for the investment under the cost method or equity method. For equity method investments, the Company’s proportionate share of income or losses is recorded in the consolidated statements of income. The Company will write down or write off an 48 investment and recognize a loss if and when events or circumstances indicate there is impairment in the investment that is other-than-temporary. Refer to Note 11 for additional information. Property and equipment. Property and equipment is stated at historical cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets, ranging from 10-40 years for buildings and improvements and from 1-7 years for equipment and tooling. Depreciation of assets recorded under finance leases is included within depreciation expense. Fully-depreciated tooling is eliminated from the accounting records annually. The Company recorded $214.0 million, $193.4 million, and $198.2 million of depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Substantially all of the Company’s property and equipment is located in North America. Goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment and is tested for impairment more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company completes its annual goodwill impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter. The Company may first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. A qualitative assessment requires that the Company considers events or circumstances including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, changes in management or key personnel, changes in strategy, changes in customers, changes in the composition or carrying amount of a reporting unit’s net assets, and changes in the Company’s stock price. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative test and proceed to a quantitative test, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed. A quantitative test includes comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, an impairment is recognized in an amount equal to the difference, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Under the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and market approach. Determining the fair value of the reporting units requires the use of significant judgment, including discount rates, assumptions in the Company’s long-term business plan about future revenues and expenses, capital expenditures, and changes in working capital, which are dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of long-term growth for each reporting unit, and determination of the discount rate. These plans take into consideration numerous factors including historical experience, anticipated future economic conditions, changes in raw material prices, and growth expectations for the industries and end markets in which the Company participates. For its annual test in 2022, the Company completed a qualitative assessment for all reporting units. The Company’s primary identifiable intangible assets include: dealer/customer relationships, brand/trade names, developed technology, and non-compete agreements. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized and those identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives include brand/trade names. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the brand/trade name with its carrying value. The Company completes its annual impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter each year for identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives. Refer to Note 8 for additional information on goodwill and other intangible assets. Revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred. Sales, value add, and other taxes that are collected from a customer concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Revenue from goods and services transferred to customers at a point-in-time accounts for the majority of the Company’s revenue. Revenue from products or services transferred over time is discussed in the contract liabilities section. For the majority of wholegood vehicles, boats, and PG&A, the Company transfers control and recognizes a sale when it ships the product from its manufacturing facility, distribution center, or vehicle holding center to its customer. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue it recognizes varies with changes in marketing incentives and rebates it offers to its dealers and their customers. Payment terms vary by customer and most of the Company’s sales 49 are financed by the customer under floorplan financing arrangements whereby the Company receives payment within a few days of shipment of the product. When the right of return exists, the Company adjusts the consideration for the estimated effect of returns. The Company estimates expected returns based on historical sales levels, the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales, type of product, type of customer, and a projection of this experience into the future. The Company adjusts its estimate of revenue at the earlier of when the most likely amount of consideration it expects to receive changes or when the consideration becomes fixed. Depending on the terms of the arrangement, the Company may also defer the recognition of a portion of the consideration received because it has to satisfy a future obligation. The Company uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. The Company has elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over vehicles, boats, or PG&A has transferred to the customer as an expense in cost of sales. The Company sells separately-priced service contracts (“ESCs”) that extend mechanical coverages beyond the base limited warranty as well as prepaid maintenance agreements to vehicle owners. Each of these separately priced service contracts range from 12 months to 84 months. The Company typically receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. Sales promotions and incentives. The Company accrues for estimated sales promotion and incentive expenses, which are recognized as a component of sales in measuring the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Examples of sales promotion and incentive programs include dealer and consumer rebates, volume incentives, retail financing programs and sales associate incentives. Sales promotion and incentive expenses are estimated based on current programs, planned programs, and historical rates for each product line. The Company records these amounts as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet until they are ultimately paid. Adjustments to sales promotions and incentives accruals are made as actual usage becomes known in order to properly estimate the amounts necessary to generate consumer demand based on market conditions as of the balance sheet date. Dealer holdback programs. Dealer holdback represents a portion of the invoiced sales price that is expected to be subsequently returned to the dealer or distributor as a sales incentive upon the ultimate retail sale of the product. Holdback amounts reduce the ultimate net price of the products purchased by the Company’s dealers or distributors and, therefore, reduce the amount of sales the Company recognizes. The portion of the invoiced sales price estimated as the holdback is recognized as “dealer holdback” liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet until paid or forfeited. The minimal holdback adjustments in the estimated holdback liability due to forfeitures are recognized in net sales. Payments are made to dealers or distributors at various times during the year subject to previously established criteria. Shipping and handling costs. The Company records shipping and handling costs as a component of cost of sales when control has transferred to the customer. Research and development expenses. The Company records research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred as a component of operating expenses. Advertising expenses. The Company records advertising expenses as a component of selling and marketing expenses in the period in which they are incurred. In the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred $87.6 million, $90.8 million and $95.8 million of advertising expenses, respectively. Product warranties. The Company typically provides a limited warranty for its vehicles and boats for a period of six months to ten years, depending on the product. The Company provides longer warranties in certain geographical markets as determined by local regulations and customary practice and may also provide longer warranties related to certain promotional programs. The Company’s standard warranties require the Company, generally through its dealer network, to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods. The warranty reserve is established at the time of sale to the dealer or distributor based on management’s best estimate using historical rates and trends. The Company records these amounts as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet until they are ultimately paid. Adjustments to the warranty reserve are made based on actual claims experience in order to properly estimate the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims on products sold as of the balance sheet date. The warranty reserve includes the estimated costs related to recalls, which are accrued when probable and estimable. Factors that could have an impact on 50 the warranty reserve include the following: changes in manufacturing quality, shifts in product mix, changes in warranty coverage periods, impacts on product usage (including weather), product recalls and changes in sales volume.

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, retail stores, warehouses, distribution centers, office space, land, and equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the lease components to which they relate, and instead accounts for each separate lease and non-lease component associated with that lease component as a single lease component for all underlying asset classes. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 20 years or more. Such options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain lease agreements include rental payments that are variable based on usage or are adjusted periodically for inflation. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Share-based employee compensation. The Company accounts for share-based compensation awards, including stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees, on a fair value basis. Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of share-based awards at the date of grant requires judgment. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock options, and the Monte Carlo model to estimate the fair value of employee performance restricted stock units that include a market condition. These pricing models also require the use of input assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, expected dividend yield, and expected risk-free rate of return. The Company utilizes historical volatility as the Company believes this is reflective of market conditions. The expected life of the awards is based on historical exercise patterns. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the terms of awards. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history of dividend payouts. The amount of compensation cost for share-based awards recognized during a period is based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company analyzes historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and records share compensation expense for those awards expected to vest. If forfeiture adjustments are made, they would affect gross margin and operating expenses. All stock options have time-based vesting conditions. The Company estimates the likelihood and the rate of achievement for performance share-based awards, specifically long-term compensation grants of performance-based restricted stock unit awards. Changes in the estimated rate of achievement can have a significant effect on reported share-based compensation expenses as the effect of a change in the estimated achievement level is recognized in the period that the likelihood factor changes. If adjustments in the estimated rate of achievement are made, they would be reflected in gross profit and operating expenses. Fluctuations in the Company’s stock price can have an effect on reported share-based compensation expenses for liability-based awards. The impact from fluctuations in the Company’s stock price is recognized in the period of the change, and is reflected in gross profit and operating expenses. Refer to Note 5 for additional information. Derivative instruments and hedging activities. Changes in the fair value of a derivative are recognized in earnings unless the derivative qualifies as a hedge. To qualify as a hedge, the Company must formally document, designate and assess 51 the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The Company does not use any financial contracts for trading purposes. The Company enters into foreign exchange contracts to manage currency exposures from certain of its purchase commitments denominated in foreign currencies and transfers of funds from its foreign subsidiaries. These contracts meet the criteria for cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar contracts at settlement are recorded in non-operating other (income) expense, net in the consolidated income statements, and gains and losses on the Mexican peso contracts at settlement are recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. The contracts are recorded in other current assets or other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net. The Company enters into interest rate swaps in order to maintain a balanced risk of fixed and floating interest rates associated with the Company’s debt. These contracts meet the criteria for cash flow hedges. The contracts are recorded in other current assets or other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net. The Company enters into commodity hedging contracts in order to manage fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials that are integrated into the Company’s end products. Refer to Note 15 for additional information regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities. Foreign currency translation. The functional currency for the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is typically their respective local currencies. The assets and liabilities in the Company’s foreign entities are translated at the foreign exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Translation gains and losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and expenses in all of the Company’s foreign entities are translated at the average foreign exchange rate in effect for each month of the quarter. Transaction gains and losses including intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in other (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of income. New accounting pronouncements. Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides practical expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope in January 2021, which adds implementation guidance to clarify which optional expedients in Topic 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued, but that are being modified as a result of the discounting transition. The FASB also issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 in December 2022, which deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01, and ASU 2022-06. The adoption of the ASUs did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. There are no other new accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 52 Note 2.

Divestitures and Discontinued Operations 2021 Divestitures. In an effort to more strategically allocate the Company’s resources, the Company sold its Global Electric Motorcar (“GEM”) and Taylor-Dunn businesses on December 31, 2021. The sale resulted in a loss of $36.8 million. As a result of this divestiture, the Company eliminated its Global Adjacent Markets segment on January 1, 2022. All segment results were reclassified for comparability. The 2021 and 2020 financial results of these businesses are reflected in Corporate. 2022 Divestitures. On July 1, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Transamerican Auto Parts (“TAP”) business, an aftermarket parts business, for a sales price, net of post-closing purchase price adjustments, of $42.2 million. TAP is a vertically integrated manufacturer, distributor, retailer, and installer of off-road Jeep and truck parts and accessories. The transaction included TAP’s full portfolio of operations, including all brands, product lines, manufacturing operations, distribution facilities, more than 100 4 Wheel Parts retail locations, and more than 1,700 TAP employees. The results of TAP have been presented as discontinued operations and the related assets and liabilities have been classified as held for sale for all periods presented. For the year ended December 31, 2022, a loss on sale of $187.6 million was recorded which resulted in a $45.0 million income tax benefit. TAP was historically included within the Company’s Aftermarket segment; however, as a result of the divestiture, the Company began management of its portfolio of businesses under a new basis as of June 30, 2022. The Aftermarket segment was eliminated and the results of the Company’s remaining aftermarket businesses historically included within the Aftermarket segment were reclassified to the Off Road and On Road segments. The comparative 2021 and 2020 segment results were reclassified for comparability.

The Company grants long-term equity-based incentives and awards for the benefit of its employees and directors under the shareholder approved Polaris Inc. 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as amended and restated as of April 30, 2020) (the “Omnibus Plan”). A maximum of 27,775,000 shares of common stock are available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan, together with additional shares canceled or forfeited under the prior plans. Stock option awards granted to date under the Omnibus Plan generally vest one to four years from the award date and expire after ten years. In addition, since 2007, the Company has granted a total of 243,000 deferred stock units to its non- employee directors under the Omnibus Plan (with grants of 17,000, 10,000 and 20,000 units in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively), which will be converted into common stock when the director’s board service ends or upon a change in control. Restricted units and performance-based restricted units (collectively restricted stock) awarded under the Omnibus Plan generally vest after a one to four year period. The final number of shares issued under performance-based awards are dependent on achievement of certain performance measures. Under the Polaris Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (“Director Plan”) and the Omnibus Plan, members of the Board of Directors who are not Polaris officers or employees may annually elect to receive common stock equivalents in lieu of director fees, which will be converted into common stock when board service ends. Alternatively, these common stock equivalents may be diversified into other investments until board service ends, pursuant to the terms of the Director Plan. A maximum of 500,000 shares of common stock has been authorized under the Director Plan, of which 73,000 common stock equivalents have been earned and 427,000 shares have been issued to retired directors as of December 31, 2022. Authorized shares under the Director Plan were exhausted in 2017. Since 2017, the Company has granted a total of 67,000 common stock equivalents to its non-employee directors under the Omnibus Plan (with grants of 11,000, 8,000 and 13,000 units in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively). As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s liability under the plans for the common stock equivalents totaled $9.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively. 56 The Company maintains a long-term incentive program under which awards are issued for certain employees. Long-term incentive program awards are granted in restricted stock units and stock options and are accounted for as equity awards. Share-based compensation expense. The amount of compensation cost for share-based awards recognized during a period is based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

As of December 31, 2022, there was $52.4 million of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested share-based equity awards. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. Included in unrecognized share-based compensation expense is approximately $5.1 million related to stock options and $47.3 million for restricted stock. In addition to the above share-based compensation expenses, the Company sponsors a qualified non-leveraged employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Shares allocated to eligible participants’ accounts vest at various percentage rates based on years of service and require no cash payments from the recipient. See Note 6 for additional information.

The total intrinsic value of options outstanding and of options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2022, was $35.7 million and $33.6 million, respectively. The total intrinsic values are based on the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the applicable year for in-the-money options. The grant date fair value for performance awards with a total shareholder return (TSR) market condition were estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing the following weighted-average assumptions: For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Weighted-average volatility . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The assumed risk-free interest rates were based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of grant. The expected term was based on the vesting period. The weighted-average fair value used to record compensation expense for TSR performance share awards granted during 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $146.08, $165.54, and $98.09 per award, respectively.

These performance grants are the number of shares that would be earned at the target level of performance. The number of shares of Polaris common stock that could actually be delivered at the end of the three-year performance period for performance restricted stock units may be anywhere from 0% to 200% of target for each performance share, depending on the performance of the Company during such performance period. The total intrinsic value of restricted stock expected to vest as of December 31, 2022 was $91.3 million. The total intrinsic value is based on the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the year. The weighted average fair values at the grant dates of grants awarded under the Omnibus Plan for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $119.42, $122.08 and $92.23, respectively. Note 6. Employee Savings Plans Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The Company sponsors a qualified non-leveraged ESOP under which a maximum of 7,700,000 shares of common stock can be awarded. The shares are allocated to eligible participants’ accounts based on total cash compensation earned during the calendar year. An employee’s ESOP account vests equally after two and three years of service and requires no cash payments from the recipient. Participants may instruct the Company to pay respective dividends directly to the participant in cash or reinvest the dividends into the participants’ ESOP accounts. Employees who meet eligibility requirements can participate in the ESOP. Participants that meet certain age and service requirements are allowed to transfer balances, subject to limitation, to the Polaris 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan and thus diversify their investments. Total expense related to the ESOP was $14.6 million, $13.9 million and $12.3 million, in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, there were 2,949,000 shares held in the plan. 58 Defined contribution plans. The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. The Company matches 100 percent of employee contributions up to a maximum of five percent of eligible compensation. All contributions vest immediately. The cost of the defined contribution retirement plan was $26.4 million, $24.9 million, and $22.5 million, in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP). The Company sponsors a SERP that provides executive officers of the Company an alternative to defer portions of their salary, cash incentive compensation, and Company matching contributions. The deferrals and contributions are held in a rabbi trust and are in funds to match the liabilities of the plan. The assets are recorded as trading assets. The assets of the rabbi trust are included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and the SERP liability is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The asset and liability balances are both $39.8 million and $52.4 million as of December 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Executive officers and directors of the Company have the opportunity to defer certain restricted stock units. These restricted stock units are redeemable in Polaris common stock or in cash. After a holding period, the executive officer has the option to diversify the vested award into other funds available under the SERP. If the award is diversified, it must be redeemed in cash. Awards probable of vesting, for which the executive has not yet made an election to defer, and awards that have been deferred but have not yet vested and are probable of vesting are reported as deferred compensation in the temporary equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, as these awards have redemption features that are not yet solely within the control of the Company. The awards recorded in temporary equity are recognized at fair value as though the reporting date is also the redemption date, with any difference from stock-based compensation recorded in retained earnings. As of December 31, 2022, 124,505 shares are recorded at a fair value of $12.6 million in temporary equity, which includes $12.5 million of compensation cost and $0.1 million of cumulative fair value adjustment recorded through retained earnings.

In July 2018, the Company issued $350 million of unsecured senior notes due July 2028 which remain outstanding. The Company maintains an unsecured credit facility which consists of a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Loan Facility”). In July 2018, the Company amended its unsecured credit facility to increase its Term Loan Facility to $1,180 million, of which $828.0 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2022. In June 2021, the Company further amended its unsecured credit facility to increase its Revolving Loan Facility to $1.0 billion, of which $312.9 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2022, and extend the maturity date to June 2026. In December 2022, the Company further amended its unsecured credit facility to change its benchmark base interest rate. Interest is charged at rates based on adjusted Term SOFR. 59 In December 2021, the Company amended the credit facility to provide an unsecured incremental 364-day term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) in the amount of $500 million, which was fully drawn on closing. In December 2022, the Company further amended its unsecured credit facility to extend the maturity date of the Incremental Term Loan to December 15, 2023. There are no required principal payments prior to the maturity date. In addition to the payment of the $500 million Incremental Term Loan, the Company is required to make principal payments under the Term Loan Facility totaling $45 million over the next 12 months. These payments are classified as current maturities in the consolidated balance sheets. The credit agreements governing the facility and the Master Note Purchase Agreement contain covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum interest coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The agreements require the Company to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not more than 3.50 to 1.00 on a rolling four quarter basis. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of December 31, 2022. Debt issuance costs are recognized as a reduction in the carrying value of the related long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets and are being amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of income over the expected remaining terms of the related debt. On July 2, 2018, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 29, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Boat Holdings, LLC, a privately held Delaware limited liability company, headquartered in Elkhart, Indiana which manufactures boats (“Boat Holdings”). As a component of the Boat Holdings merger agreement, the Company has committed to make a series of deferred payments to the former owners following the closing date of the merger through July 2030. The original discounted payable was for $76.7 million, of which $55.3 million was outstanding as of December 31, 2022. The outstanding balance is included in long-term debt and current portion of long- term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

While these earnings would no longer be subject to incremental U.S. tax, if the Company were to actually distribute these earnings, they could be subject to additional foreign income taxes and/or withholding taxes payable to non-U.S. countries. Determination of the unrecognized deferred foreign income tax liability related to these undistributed earnings is not practicable due to the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation. 62 The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws.

The net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates from 2024 to 2030, with certain jurisdictions having indefinite carryforward terms. The Company classified liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits as long-term income taxes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to income tax positions as a component of the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. Reserves related to potential interest are recorded as a component of long-term income taxes payable. The federal benefit of state taxes and interest related to the reserves is recorded as a component of deferred taxes. The entire balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2022, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate that total unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next twelve months. Tax years 2017 through 2022 remain open to examination by certain tax jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

The repurchase of any shares will be dependent on management’s assessment of market conditions. Stock purchase plan. The Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan (“Purchase Plan”). A total of 3.0 million shares of common stock are reserved for this plan. The Purchase Plan permits eligible employees to purchase common stock monthly at 95 percent of the average of the beginning and end of month stock prices. As of December 31, 2022, approximately 1.6 million shares had been purchased under the Purchase Plan. Dividends. Quarterly and total year cash dividends declared per common share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were as follows: For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2020 Quarterly dividend declared and paid per common share . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Total dividends declared and paid per common share . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 0.64 $ 2.56 $ 0.63 $ 2.52 $ 0.62 2.48 On February 2, 2023, the Polaris Board of Directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.65 per share payable on March 15, 2023 to holders of record of such shares at the close of business on March 1, 2023. Net income per share. Basic net income per share was computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including shares earned under The Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors (“Director Plan”) and the ESOP and deferred stock units under the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”). Diluted net income per share was computed under the treasury stock method and was calculated to compute the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and certain share-based awards issued under the Omnibus Plan.

The Company is subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. In 2012, the Company began purchasing excess insurance coverage for product liability claims. The Company self-insures product liability claims before the policy date and up to the purchased insurance coverage after the policy date. The estimated costs resulting from any losses are charged to operating expenses when it is probable a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company utilizes historical trends and actuarial analysis, along with an analysis of current claims, to assist in determining the appropriate loss reserve levels. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had an accrual of $107.5 million and $70.3 million, respectively, for the probable payment of pending claims related to product liability litigation associated with the Company’s products. This accrual is included as a component of other accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets. Litigation. The Company is a defendant in lawsuits and subject to other claims arising in the normal course of business, including matters related to intellectual property, commercial matters, employment, and product liability claims. In addition, as of December 31, 2022, the Company is party to putative class actions pending against the Company in the United States which are described in more detail in Part I, Item 3 – Legal Proceedings. The Company is unable to provide an evaluation of the likelihood that a loss will be incurred or an estimate of the range of possible loss on the putative class actions. In the opinion of management, it is presently unlikely that any legal proceedings pending against or involving the Company will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in many of these matters, it is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss given the variety and potential outcomes of actual and potential claims, the uncertainty of future rulings, the behavior or incentives of adverse parties, and other factors outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s loss reserve may change from time to time, and actual losses could exceed the amounts accrued by an amount that could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in any particular reporting period. Regulatory. In the normal course of business, the Company’s products are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to safety, environmental and other regulations promulgated by the United States federal government and individual states, as well as international regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in fines, penalties or other costs. Note 15. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, and commodity price fluctuations. Derivative contracts 68 on various currencies are entered into in order to manage foreign currency exposures associated with certain product sourcing activities and intercompany cash flows. Interest rate swaps are entered into in order to maintain a balanced risk of fixed and floating interest rates associated with the Company’s debt. Commodity hedging contracts are entered into in order to manage fluctuating market prices of certain purchased commodities and raw materials that are integrated into the Company’s end products. The Company’s foreign currency management objective is to mitigate the potential impact of currency fluctuations on the value of its U.S. dollar cash flows and to reduce the variability of certain cash flows at the subsidiary level. The Company actively manages certain forecasted foreign currency exposures and uses a centralized currency management operation to take advantage of potential opportunities to naturally offset foreign currency exposures. The decision of whether and when to execute derivative instruments, along with the duration of the instrument, may vary from period to period depending on market conditions, the relative costs of the instruments and capacity to hedge. The duration is linked to the timing of the underlying exposure, with the connection between the two being regularly monitored. The Company does not use any financial contracts for trading purposes. The Company’s open foreign currency contracts, with maturities through December 2023, met the criteria for cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had the following open foreign currency contracts (in millions): December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Foreign Currency Australian Dollar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Canadian Dollar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In connection with these transactions, the Company pays interest based upon a fixed rate and receives variable rate interest payments based on adjusted Term SOFR. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $550.0 million. These contracts, with maturities through February 2026, met the criteria for cash flow hedges. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the net unrealized gain (loss) associated with these swaps was $5.9 million and $(7.8) million, respectively. The table below summarizes the carrying values of derivative instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 (in millions): Carrying Values of Derivative Instruments as of December 31, 2022 Fair Value— Assets Fair Value— (Liabilities) Derivative Net Carrying Value Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Foreign exchange contracts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Interest rate contracts . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Assets and liabilities are offset in the consolidated balance sheet if the right of offset exists. The unrealized gains or losses, after tax, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses on derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of income. The amount of gains (losses), net of tax, related to the effective portion of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges included in other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $14.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively. See Note 10 for additional information about the amount of gains and losses, net of tax, reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into the statements of income for derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments. The ineffective portion of foreign currency contracts was not material for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. Note 16. Segment Reporting On January 1, 2022, the Company began management of its portfolio of businesses under a new basis as a result of the divestiture of the GEM and Taylor-Dunn businesses. As a such, the Global Adjacent Markets segment was eliminated and the results of the Company’s remaining businesses historically included within the Global Adjacent Markets segment were reclassified to the Off Road and On Road segments. All historical segment results were reclassified for comparability, including the divested businesses which are included in Corporate. On June 30, 2022, the Company again began management of its portfolio of businesses under a new basis as a result of the divestiture of TAP. As such, the Aftermarket segment was eliminated and the results of the Company’s remaining aftermarket businesses historically included within the Aftermarket segment were reclassified to the Off Road and On Road segments. All historical segment results were reclassified for comparability. The Company’s reportable segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting and are comprised of various product offerings that serve multiple end markets. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had each segment been an independent, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. The internal reporting of these operating segments is defined based, in part, on the reporting and review process used by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Company has three operating segments: 1) Off Road, 2) On Road, and 3) Marine which are all reportable segments. The Corporate amounts include revenues and costs of businesses that were divested in 2021, as well as costs that are not allocated to segments, including certain unallocated manufacturing costs. Businesses that are presented as discontinued operations are excluded from the table below. 70 Segment sales and gross profit data is summarized as follows (in millions): Sales Off Road . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ On Road . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure Not applicable. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure. No changes have occurred during the period covered by this report or since the evaluation date that would have a material effect on the disclosure controls and procedures. The Company’s internal control report is included in this report after Item 8, under the caption “Management’s Report on Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP (PCAOB ID: 42), an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report included herein.
