Executive summary

  • Achieved third consecutive quarter of North American retail sales growth, driven by strong Touring segment performance and successful new product launches like Super Glide and Deadwood.

  • Dealer inventory health improved, with over 85% of inventory as model year 2026, supporting profitability and sell-through rates.

  • Raised full-year guidance for retail sales and operating income after robust first-half execution.

  • Dealer inventory reductions and improved engagement contributed to higher dealer profitability.

  • Net income attributable to shareholders declined 26% year-over-year, mainly due to a shift in the financial services business model, partially offset by improved motorcycle segment performance.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
