BRP Quarterly Results Strong

Posted on May 31, 2019 by Marc Cesare

2019 Can-Am Defender HD8 help drive BRP quarterly results — Models like the Can-Am Defender HD8 features which was upgraded for MY2019 helped drive BRP sales.

BRP Quarterly Results Overview

BRP reported another strong quarter with revenues increasing 17% year over year to $1,334 billion (CA). Year-Round Products segment sales drove the BRP quarterly results for the first quarter of their 2020 fiscal year. In addition, sales increased across US, Canadian and International markets. Management reported that the company’s retail growth outpaced or at least matched industry growth around the globe.

UTV Related Highlights

The following are some of the highlights from the BRP quarterly results as they relate to the UTV market.

Similar to other OEMs, BRP noted that snowbelt weather hindered retail sales early in the quarter but rebounded later
Weather delayed sales rather than being permanently lost
Side-by-side North American retail sales increased high single digits compared to mid-single digits for the industry
Retail sales could have been higher except for constrained Defender UTVs supply
Management reported strong promotional activity from competitors during the quarter but the environment is improving
Side-by-side retail sales for the season(~ 10 months) are up high teens %
Globally, BRP side-by-side average selling price is flat and up slightly for YTD and quarter respectively
Defender sales have been particularly strong and supply remains tight
Management reports taking the most side-by-side market share in the industry for the season in both utility and sport segments
Market share is up in Middle East and Asia-Pacific regions as well
Do to supplier locations, China related tariffs minimally affect costs
BRP is launching a new side-by-side platform in June
Increased production capacity will be online
Management increased their guidance for FY2020 results, predicting revenue to increase 9% to 13%
Guidance for Year-Round Products which includes side-by-sides is for a 14% to 19% increase

SVR’s Take

BRP continues to be the main challenger to Polaris in the side-by-side market. Between the two of them they control around 60% of the market. With both growing market share for the most part, many of the other manufacturers are likely suffering. The success of the Can-Am Defender line, particularly in agriculture markets, is likely hurting companies such as Kubota and John Deere.

Arctic Cat Recalls Havoc UTVs

Posted on May 29, 2019 by Marc Cesare

Arctic Cat Havoc — The Arctic Cat (previously Textron Off Road) Havoc is being recalled due to a front suspension arm issue.

Havoc Recall Overview

Arctic Cat is recalling approximately 1,700 Havoc UTVs. The upper front suspension arms can fail and create a crash hazard. The recall pertains to vehicles sold from January 2018 to April 2019. Owners should contact Arctic Cat to schedule a free repair. Previously, the vehicles were sold under the Textron Off Road brand. Subsequently, Textron brought back the Arctic Cat brand as the umbrella brand for their off-road products.

Havoc Recall Details

The following recall details are from the Consumer Products Safety Commission.

Hazard

The upper front suspension arms can fail, posing a crash hazard.

Recall date

May 22, 2019

Units

Description

This recall involves all model year 2018 and 2019 Textron Havoc recreational off-highway vehicles manufactured by Arctic Cat. The two-seat vehicles come in four color combinations: charcoal metallic/bronze, green/black, red/black or white/black. The vehicles have Textron Off Road printed on each side of the hood and Havoc on each side of the rear cargo box. Remedy:

Incidents/Injuries

Arctic Cat has received six reports of front suspension arm failures. No crashes or injuries have been reported.

Sold At

Textron Off Road and Arctic Cat dealers nationwide from January 2018 through April 2019 for between $13,800 and $17,000.

Manufacturer(s)

Arctic Cat Inc., of Thief River Falls, Minn., a subsidiary of Textron Specialized Vehicles, of Augusta, Ga.

Manufactured In

United States

Recall number

19-746

SVR’s Take

The recall size is relatively small but probably represents a relatively large portion of the Havoc sales for the time frame. This is one of the few times a recall related to suspension arms has been an issue. After trying to put the Arctic Brand under the Textron Off Road brand, Textron Specialized Vehicles has now moved to put everything off-road under the Arctic Cat brand. Probably the right move, Arctic Cat has a lot more brand equity and recognition in the off-road segment than the relatively new Textron Off Road. SVR maintains an ongoing list of recent STOV recalls.

Can-Am Earnings Strong For Q4 & FY19

Posted on April 2, 2019 by Marc Cesare

2019 Can Am Defender XT UTV — The 2019 Can Am Defender XT in Hyper Silver is one example of the companies constant parade of new models.

Can-Am Earnings Call Summary

Can-Am earnings were strong for the fourth quarter and fiscal year for 2019. Annual revenues increased 18% from $4.5 billion to $5.2 billion (CA$) and quarterly revenues jumped 23% to $1.5 billion. The following are highlights from the recent earnings call.

North American powersports retail sales excluding snowmobile sales grew 19% while the industry decreased low single digits in the fourth quarter
North American side-by-side sales increased high teens while the industry increased single digits
Can-Am grew market share in side-by-sides
Increased UTV production capacity by 30% at Mexico facilities with another 50% capacity increase planned for the coming year
Continued to introduce a new side-by-side model every six months following their long term plan
Side-by-side market remains competitive with promotions or “back end” money going to dealers to reduce net pricing

Can-Am Earnings Guidance for FY2020

Management is expecting continued growth for fiscal year 2020

Annual revenue is expected to increase 7-11%.
Year-Around Products revenue is expected to grow between 12% and 17% driven primarily by side-by-side models.

SVR’s Take

Can-Am has grown into the main rival to Polaris in the North American side-by-side market. They have continued to gain market share for several years and have separated themselves from the rest of the pack chasing Polaris. They are the only company that has been able to match the market leader’s level of new model introductions. The development of their Defender product lines to pursue the utility vehicle segment has been a key to unlocking more growth. The complete Can-Am side-by-side lineup now comes close in size and segment coverage to the Polaris armada. Can-Am appears to be running on all cylinders and I would expect them to continue increasing revenue and market share.

Polaris Reports Another Strong Quarter

Posted on February 1, 2019 by Marc Cesare

The 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew XP 1000 EPS in Sunset Red Metallic is part of the Ranger product line that recently commemorated its 20th anniversary.

Polaris Q4 2018 Earnings Overview

Polaris reported another strong quarter and full year with 4th quarter sales of $1.6 billion, up 14% from last year. Full year sales topped $6.1 billion, up 12% from the prior year. The ORV/Snowmobile segment reported sales of $1.1 billion for the quarter, an increase of 7% year over year. The ORV portion declined 2% as the company had a tough comparable with the prior year’s quarter. On a negative note, management expects tariff and trade war costs to total between $110 to $120 million company wide for fiscal year 2019. They will hit the ORV and Motorcycle businesses the hardest. A significant portion of the Q&A on the call revolved around tariff and trade war costs. A summary of the earnings call highlights related to the STOV market follow.

Polaris Earnings Call Highlights

Polaris side-by-side retail sales increased mid single digits % while ATV retail sales decreased mid single digits %
Average selling price for the ORV segment increased by 7% but were partially offset by tariff, logistics, and commodity costs
Polaris gained market share in the side-by-side market for the quarter and the full year
Management believes they are gaining share from Japanese competitors and Arctic Cat, now owned by Textron
Global Adjacent Markets revenue increased 4% to $122 million on the strength of commercial, government and defense and Aixam businesses.
Polaris increased wholegood prices 3.5% for the ORV/Snowmobile segment at the start of 2019 to counter tariff and trade costs
Revenue for ORV/Snowmobile and Global Adjacent Markets segments are expected to increase mid-single digits % for fiscal year 2019
Management does not expect to enter into electric powered markets until there is large consumer demand. Their response pertained to motorcycles but appears to be their general philosophy.
