A Review Of
Financial Statements Harley-Davidson Is A Fortune 500 Company And Has Been The Historical Market Share Leader In The
And Their U.S. 601+Cc Motorcycle Market. The Company’s Products Are Sold Through A Network Of
Components. Independent Dealers, Of Which The Majority Sell Harley-Davidson Motorcycles Exclusively. These
Dealerships Stock And Sell The Company’s Motorcycles, Parts And Accessories, General
Merchandise And Licensed Products, And Perform Service On Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. In 2018,
Harley Reported 1,535 Dealerships, 691(45%) Of Which Are Located In The U.S.
Harley Reports Two Business Segments: The Manufacturing Company And The Financial
Services Subsidiary. Harley-Davidson Financial Services Is Engaged In The Business Of Financing
And Servicing Wholesale Inventory Receivables And Retail Consumer Loans, Primarily For The
Purchase Of Harley- Davidson Motorcycles. Its Wholesale Activities Include Financing For Its
Dealers For The Purchase Of Motorcycles For Display, And Its Financing Activities Provide Loan
And Lease Financing To Customers. This Financial Services Subsidiary Operates Like A Bank,
Borrowing Money At A Given Rate To Fund The Lease Receivables And Setting A Higher Rate On
Its Loans And Leases. As Is Common For All Lenders, Managing The Spread Between Lease Income
And Interest Expense And Minimizing Credit Losses Are Core Activities For Harley-Davidson
Financial Services.
In The Md&A Section Of Its 10-K, Harley-Davidson Describes Its Competitive Environment As
Follows.
Competition in the segments of the motorcycle market in which the Company currently competes is
based upon a number of factors including product capabilities and features, styling, price, quality,
reliability, warranty, availability of financing, and quality of the dealer network that sells the product.
The Company believes its motorcycles continue to generally command a premium price at retail
relative to competitors’ motorcycles. The Company emphasizes remarkable styling, customization,
innovation, sound, quality and reliability in its products and generally offers a two-year warranty for
its motorcycles. The Company considers the availability of a line of motorcycle parts & accessories
and general merchandise, the availability of financing through HDFS and its global network of inde-
pendent dealers to be competitive advantages.
Although Dominant In The U.S. Market (Accounting For Approximately 50% Of New Motorcycle
Regis- Trations), Harley-Davidson Faces Stiff Competition Outside Of The U.S. Where It Has Only
A 10% Market Share. With This As Background, We Begin The Accounting Analysis Of Harley-
Davidson By Discussing Its Financial Statements.
Income Statement Reporting And Analysis
Harley-Davidson’s Income Statement Is Reproduced In Exhibit C.1.
Net Sales
Exhibit C.1 Reveals That Total Revenue (Product Sales And Financial Services Revenue) Increased By
1.2% In 2018 To $5,716.9 Million. However, Revenues In 2018 Are 4.7% Lower Than In 2016. In Its
Md&A Report, Management Describes Its Results As Follows.
Retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the U.S. were down 10.2% in 2018. Overall, U.S.
retail sales of new Harley-Davidson motorcycles were adversely impacted by the continued weak
U.S. industry, which was down 8.7% compared to 2017. The Company believes that sales of new
motorcycles continued to be adversely impacted by soft used motorcycle prices and a shift in rider
preferences toward smaller displacement motorcycles.
The Company’s U.S. market share of new 601+cc motorcycles for 2018 was 49.7%, down 1.0
percentage points compared to 2017 (Source: Motorcycle Industry Council). The Company’s U.S.
