our employees, dealers and suppliers, working as one team and moving in
one direction to fulfill customers’ dreams,” said Wandell. “Moving

Guidance
Harley-Davidson expects to ship 279,000 to 284,000 motorcycles to
dealers and distributors worldwide in 2014, an approximate 7% to 9%
increase from 2013 shipments. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company
expects to ship 76,500 to 81,500 motorcycles, compared to 75,222
motorcycles shipped in the year-ago period. The Company expects
full-year 2014 operating margin of 17.5% to 18.5% for the Motorcycles
segment. The Company expects 2014 capital expenditures for
Harley-Davidson, Inc. of
$215 million to $235 million.
Restructuring
Harley-Davidson realized a restructuring benefit of
$0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, and a restructuring benefit for the full year of
$2.1 million. With the completion of restructuring activities in 2013, Harley-Davidson incurred total restructuring costs of
$479 million in the Motorcycles segment since the inception of restructuring in 2009. The Company realized savings of
$310 million
in 2013 from restructuring. The Company continues to expect the
now-completed restructuring activities to result in annual savings of
approximately
$320 million beginning in 2014.
Income Tax Rate
For the full year 2013, Harley-Davidson’s effective tax rate was
34.1%, compared to 35.1% in 2012. The lower effective tax rate was

effective tax rate will be approximately 35.5%.

$1.17 billion at year-end 2013, compared to

Forward-Looking Statements
The Company intends that certain matters discussed in this release
are “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor
from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can generally be
identified as such because the context of the statement will include
words such as the Company “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,”
or “estimates” or words of similar meaning. Similarly, statements that
describe future plans, objectives, outlooks, targets, guidance or goals
are also forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of
this release. Certain of such risks and uncertainties are described
below. Shareholders, potential investors, and other readers are urged to
consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements included in this release are
only made as of the date of this release, and the Company disclaims any
obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect
subsequent events or circumstances.
The Company’s ability to meet the targets and expectations noted
depends upon, among other factors, the Company’s ability to (i) execute
its business strategy, (ii) adjust to fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, (iii) manage
through inconsistent economic conditions, including changing capital,
credit and retail markets, (iv) manage through the effects inconsistent
and unpredictable weather patterns may have on retail sales of
motorcycles, (v) implement and manage enterprise-wide information
technology solutions, including solutions at its manufacturing
facilities, and secure data contained in those systems, (vi) anticipate
the level of consumer confidence in the economy, (vii) continue to
realize production efficiencies at its production facilities and manage
operating costs including materials, labor and overhead, (viii) manage
production capacity and production changes, (ix) manage changes and
prepare for requirements in legislative and regulatory environments for
its products, services and operations, (x) provide products, services
and experiences that are successful in the marketplace, (xi) manage
risks that arise through expanding international manufacturing,
operations and sales, (xii) manage the credit quality, the loan
servicing and collection activities, and the recovery rates of HDFS’
loan portfolio, (xiii) continue to manage the relationships and
agreements that it has with its labor unions to help drive long-term
competitiveness, (xiv) manage supply chain issues, including any
unexpected interruptions or price increases caused by raw material
shortages or natural disasters, (xv) develop and implement sales and
marketing plans that retain existing retail customers and attract new
retail customers in an increasingly competitive marketplace, (xvi)
adjust to healthcare inflation and reform, pension reform and tax
changes, (xvii) retain and attract talented employees, (xviii) manage
the risks that our independent dealers may have difficulty obtaining
capital and managing through changing economic conditions and consumer
demand, (xix) continue to have access to reliable sources of capital
funding and adjust to fluctuations in the cost of capital, (xx) continue
to develop the capabilities of its distributor and dealer network, and
(xxi) detect any issues with our motorcycles or manufacturing processes
to avoid delays in new model launches, recall campaigns, increased
warranty costs or litigation.
In addition, the Company could experience delays or disruptions in
its operations as a result of work stoppages, strikes, natural causes,
terrorism or other factors. Other factors are described in risk factors
that the Company has disclosed in documents previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s ability to sell its motorcycles and related products
and services and to meet its financial expectations also depends on the
ability of the Company’s independent dealers to sell its motorcycles and
related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends
on the capability and financial capacity of its independent dealers and
distributors to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to
create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they
purchase from the Company. In addition, the Company’s independent
dealers and distributors may experience difficulties in operating their
businesses and selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related products
and services as a result of weather, economic conditions or other
factors.
