Harley-Davidson reported a decrease in revenue and operating income for Q2 2022, primarily due to a production suspension. However, pricing strategies and growth in apparel helped to mitigate the negative impact. The company reaffirms its full-year 2022 outlook.
Global motorcycle shipments decreased by 15% due to a two-week production suspension.
HDMC revenue declined by 5%, but global pricing and apparel growth partially offset the impact.
HDMC operating income margin increased by 1.2 points to 15.1% due to pricing, lower operating expenses, and reduced EU tariffs.
GAAP diluted EPS increased by 10% to $1.46, and Harley-Davidson repurchased $64 million of shares.
For the full year 2022, the Company reaffirms its initial guidance and continues to expect: HDMC revenue growth of 5 to 10%, HDMC operating income margin of 11 to 12%, HDFS operating income to decline by 20 to 25%, and Capital investments of $190 million to $220 million.
