Polaris

Polaris continues to write itself an impressive 21st century play-book with Brammo acquisition

THE news about Polaris' latest acquisition - outright purchase of the electric motorcycle business from Brammo - is the latest stage not just in the evolution of their relationship with the Ashland, Oregon based e-bike manufacturer, but also in sharp contrast to Harley-Davidson's conservatism in such matters, in an M&I spending spree in which CEO Scott Wine appears well set to deliver on his 2010 promise to spend some $300m of the company’s resources on buying their way to happiness in the following 3 to 5 years!


Following the abortive attempt to marry KTM in 2005/06, and their rather less ambitious "strategic alliance" with Bobcat in 2009, Polaris' 2010 purchase of Swissauto Powersports, the company that produced the 4-stroke Weber engine used in several of their snowmobiles (and developed race engines, including for MotoGP teams), the check book has been getting regular fresh air -  ever since Wine committed Polaris to a program that he described as seeing the company "diversify intelligently" with deals that could "cross-pollinate".


 

That Swissauto deal came in a year in which their net expenditure on M&I came to some $4.75m. That jumped to some $51.9m in 2011, the year they bought Indian Motorcycle from Stellican (the Chris-Craft boats owner) and Chrysler's GEM (Global Electric Motorcars) operation.
At the time Indian and GEM had annual sales revenue of around $11m and $30m respectively, but given the progress that Polaris has made with both since then, especially with Indian, it is clear that in "splashing the cash" Wine's management team have been judicious and effective.
Indeed that is also reflected in the Minnesota based manufacturer's stock price performance in the past five years. Like Harley, their price bottomed-out just below $8.00 in 2009, but unlike Harley theirs has not stalled in the low $60.00s, rather it has been very much the star performer in powersports manufacturer terms, powering to more than double of Harley's at over $130.00 a share in January 2015.
The same year as the Indian deal, Polaris bought Goupil Industrie, a French $25m sales modular on-road commercial electric vehicle manufacturer, and, the same month, announced its first investment into Brammo.
At the time Wine described it as a "small but important investment for Polaris in an electric vehicle market that we feel is poised for significant growth." It bought Polaris an 8 percent stake in Brammo, and a second finance deal followed some time later.
Some two and half years later Polaris made another acquisition of another French company that is involved in small electric vehicles, Aixam Mega, marking its fourth foray into the electric powered vehicle sector in as many years, and that kind of puts former golf cart and delivery vehicle manufacturer Harley-Davidson's Project Livewire into an interesting context!
In 2012 Polaris is said to have spent a further $41.13m on mergers and acquisitions, including the acquisition of Idaho based technical riding gear brand Klim, and continued with a capital expenditure plan to increase production capacity that had started with a controversial 2010 announcement to build in Mexico.


Some of that capital went into joint venturing - Polaris committed $50m to a 50/50 joint venture plan to build a production facility in India with Eicher Motors  - manufacturer of the Royal Enfield line of motorcycles among other activities (including a 50/50 commercial vehicle partnership with Volvo).
Indeed, just this month Polaris has announced that the facility will meet its planned 2015 readiness, and will soon start producing a highly fuel-efficient and inexpensive 600cc Greaves Cotton diesel powered four-wheeled delivery vehicle for the Indian market.
In the last four years Polaris' capital investments in its facilities have also included expanding its Wyoming Product Development Center, further developing its Spirit Lake, Iowa, footprint, growing its Vermillion, South Dakota, PG&A distribution center, building and then expanding its Monterrey, Mexico, facility, not, after all, closing its Osceola, Wisconsin, plant, opening a 345,000 sq ft factory in Poland last year, and just in January this year confirming an expected announcement to build a new 600,000 sq ft facility that will employ up to 1,700 people on a 453 acre site near Huntsville, Alabama.
In 2013 Polaris is said to have spent some $137.1m on expansion oriented investments, and a further $19.49m up to September 2013.
Some of the deals have included additions to its growing military equipment and vehicles operations (such as the purchase of a $2m turnover specialist software company called Primordial); more strategic partnerships, such as that with Ariens, the Wisconsin based manufacturer of outdoor power equipment; the Aixam Mega deal mentioned earlier, and further boosting its burgeoning PG&A line-up with acquisitions such as Kolpin and Pro Armor.
In 2013 Polaris’ sales revenue reached $3.8 bn, up from the $1.6 bn they'd dropped to in 2009. Little wonder then that when the opportunity arose in 2013 for Polaris to buy back nearly 4m shares of its common stock held by engine partner Fuji Heavy Industries, it was able to fund the $497.5m from a combination of cash on hand and $250m of borrowings under an existing revolving credit facility.
FHI had been an investor ever since Polaris went public in 1987, and been an engine supplier since 1968, indeed Polaris' sole engine supplier right up to 1995 when the company first started to produce its own engines, and still provided as many as 25 percent of their engines in 2013 – however, it is anticipated that this figure will diminish as Polaris continues to significantly expand its own engine portfolio.
Scott Wine is quoted as saying that he doesn't believe Polaris suffers from "not invented here" syndrome, and maybe there are no better recent examples of their willingness to enter market sectors that others had got to first, than the launch of the Slingshot three-wheeler, or of their preparedness to "buy in" strategic positioning and technology, rather than the decision to convert their minority position in Brammo into full effective ownership.
 
Since becoming CEO in 2008, Scott Wine and his management team at Polaris have defied the stock market and shown a way forward for the powersports industry in the 21st century

In the deal Polaris is also acting as a lead investor in a recapitalization of Brammo that will enable them to focus exclusively on the design, development and integration of electric vehicle powertrains, while Polaris will utilize the assets acquired to begin manufacturing electric motorcycles in the second half of 2015 at its Spirit Lake, Iowa facility.
“We have enjoyed our involvement with Brammo Motorcycles over the past three years, and our excitement about their industry-leading lithium-ion electric drivetrain technology has increased commensurate with their improvements in cost and performance", said Scott Wine.
This deal "strengthens not only Polaris’ commitment to bringing our consumers lithium-ion electric solutions, but also this partnership’s ability to continue innovating and developing leading electric drivetrain technology. We anticipate a return on these investments and believe the new alignment brings us that much closer to delivering world-class electric solutions across our products.”
Wine's focus on ROI is instructive - especially for anyone considering making Polaris stock part of their portfolio. When he became CEO, Polaris were already a decade into losses with their Victory Motorcycles program, and locked into a heavyweight cruiser market that was about to fall off a cliff.
In the past he has emphasized profitability. "Growth without margin expansion is worthless", he has said, and as the Head of a company which has understood the importance of allowing dealers to run lean inventory, and shown his disdain for inefficiencies, waste, bureaucracy and tardiness, he runs a tight ship - a solid foundation for ensuring that his management can continue being creative where acquisitions and investments are concerned without compromising their ability to continue building balance sheet strength.
If "intelligent diversification" and "cross-pollination" mean anything, it must mean laying down the basis for organic growth, and this Brammo acquisition is the latest in a long line of moves that show why the likes of Arctic Cat and BRP, as well as Harley-Davidson and other motorcycle manufacturers, are right to be keeping a close watch on Polaris.
It has to be said that when it comes to 'bang-for-the-buck' Polaris have shown that $300m can still go a long way!

Drag Specialties

New lines from Drag Specialties

DRAG Specialties’ product range includes small parts for detailing engines, and among these are finned spark plug/headbolt covers. The die-cast aluminum covers remove the need to buy individual headbolt and spark plug covers by fitting over the entire headbolt and spark plug base, accenting the head area. The covers are sold as a kit to complete two heads fitting ‘99-‘15 Twin Cam and ‘04-‘15 XL models, in finned, wrinkle black finish.  


The options offered by Drag Specialties to dress to a bike include the company’s satin black transmission side covers.

Moscow Custom & Tuning Show

Moscow Custom & Tuning Show
February 20th - 22nd

THIS year's Moscow Custom & Tuning Show is being staged at the 12th annual Moto Park Expo, the leading annual motorcycle show in Russia, at Moscow's IEC "Crocus Expo" facility.

 

It will again be co-joined with the Moscow Custom & Tuning Show 2015, which features an AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building affiliate custom bike show, the winners of which will be seen in competition at the next AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building.
Moto Park regularly sees some 100 exhibitors and close to 80,000 visitors. Many of the leading manufacturers are represented at Moto Park, and these have included Harley-Davidson, Polaris (Victory and Indian), Honda, Yamaha, BMW, Triumph and Peugeot.
While political and economic considerations have caused the international motorcycle parts and accessory industry to eye the opportunities in the Russian market with caution, at this time, motorcycle sales are still growing in Russia, even though that growth is slowing and is expected to flatten out in the next three years.
Having been selling in the region of 100 to 300 units a year until the past couple of years, it is thought that Harley is hoping to ship around 1,000 units to Russia this year as the company is now reported to have grown its network to some 8 dealerships, with more planned. 


Yuri Shif's World Championship 2014 entry "Terminator". Yuri has won the Moscow Custom & Tuning Show many times, most famously going on to win the Metric World Championship in 2010

In 2013 the Russian motorcycle market is said to have had total revenues of $1.4bn and to have grown by over 40 percent since 2009; however, that rate of growth is thought to have slowed, with growth set to average something in the region of 4 percent a year between now and 2018.
Estimates of annual motorcycle unit sales and of the total market size in Russia are hard to come by, and vary wildly.
However, data from the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat - www.gks.ru) suggests that annual unit sales in Russia were around 203,000 in 2010, up from around 77,000 in 2005, or thereabouts. Other sources suggest that around 70 percent of new model sales in Russia are of low-cost Chinese vehicle imports.
Russian market research specialist AutoStat (www.autostat.ru) reports that at the end of 2012 there were some 2.5 million motorcycles in total ownership/use in Russia (the 'bike park') – which is five percent of the 47.9 million total vehicles in use there; the total population of Russia is around 144 million, of which 110 million are thought to be of riding age. By way of comparison, this means that an estimated 2 percent of Russia’s riding age population have a motorcycle of some kind, whereas in 27 member states of the European Union the figure runs at something closer to 10 percent (35 million PTWs among a riding age population of approximately 380 million).

Indian Chief and Chieftain options from Barnett

BARNETT’S latest addition to its range of clutch applications is for the 2014 Indian Chief and Chieftain.

Harley-Davidson

Harley share price still not responding to performance?

WITH rumors continuing to circulate concerning Harley-Davidson's vulnerability to possible hostile bid activity, the company continues to try to "work" its investor community by maintaining its highest quarterly dividends since 2008.

Following their third quarter/nine month results, the company again announced a cash dividend of $0.275 per share (for the fourth quarter of 2014). This is the fourth such dividend for 2014, and is up on the $0.210 per share paid throughout 2013.
The company currently continues to sustain the third highest level of stockholder return in its history, dividends having been as low as $0.10 per share during the recession (March '09 through April '11).


From its historic high of over $74.65 per share in November 2006, Harley's share price went to the bargain basement and back again during the recession, bottoming out at $8.20 per share in March 2009.
Although the recovery saw the stock price peak at around $73.94 at the end of April this year, its highest price since pre-recession levels, trading has seen the share price wobble this year.
At around $68.50 at the time of the fourth quarter dividend announcement was made, at best it has remained in the mid-range of its current 52 week cycle - the low coming at around $60.60 in early August 2014. 




In the approximately nine months since the low of $61.23 seen in early February this year, the stock price has seen a massive $12.71/20.72 percent volatility.
Indeed, even in the two weeks since the fourth quarter dividend was announced on December 2nd, 2014 and this edition of AMD Magazine closing for press, the share price lost a couple of Dollars ($66.42 on December 15th) as investor sentiment not only clearly continues to be concerned about long-term value, but now also appears to be looking to Milwaukee for something "stronger" than the current level of dividend.
This is the harsh world in which corporations live and reflects the air that the new breed of more hawkish post-recession 21st century "activist" investors breathe.
These charts are a continuation of the new ten-year new quarterly analysis of Harley dividend pay-outs and stock price trends that we are updating on a quarterly basis.

Midwest Motorcycle Supply

Midwest adds to Ultima program for 2015

MIDWEST Motorcycle Supply say that their 2015 catalog gives dealers access to "all the essentials that matter most, at a frugal price."

Available in a multitude of displacements from 100 to 140 c.i. and finishes like Diamond Cut, Black Gem and polished and black powdercoated, Midwest say they are "truly Beauty meets the Beast."

"All our drivetrain products like our Ultima 3.35” and 2” belt drives and transmissions are rugged, long lasting units available for Evo Softail and Twin Cam and Evo Dynas. The range includes complete drive train packages with options such as Ultima 6 RSD or LSD transmissions, powerful ThunderFire starter motors and ThunderVolt AGM batteries."
New for this year are the Black Series Ultima belt drives. As well as the “Street” and “Drag” versions of their 3.35” open belt drives, the Black Series also includes the 2” open belt drive for Evos and Twin Cams as well as Baggers, FLT, FLH and FXR.
The T-VO single cam replacement engine for Twin Cam “A” Series rubber mount engines will be introduced at the V-Twin Expo in Cincinnati, with a planned Spring release.

Scandinavian Brake Systems

SBS already have 2015 pads

DANISH brake manufacturer SBS (Scandinavian Brake Systems) is regarded as one of the leading pad makers in the world and sells fitments for most popular makes and models of street, sport and MX bikes.



Having been the factory behind a well known distributor of v-twin market and own-brand programs for many years, SBS has been selling under its own brand in the Harley aftermarket in the past 18 months or so, with considerable success and market acceptance.
AMD met up with their North American Sales Manager and v-twin market specialist Johan Rauff Kristensen at INTERMOT, who told us that the company already has fitments available for all 2015 Harley-Davidson, Victory and Indian models.
"The good news for our dealers is that their existing stock of SBS pad shapes will cover all the 2015s, so they can start upgrading their customers' bikes with superior SBS stopping power straight away.
"The fact that SBS already covers another year from all three American V-twin manufacturers with existing shapes gives dealers and workshops a tremendous advantage due to the fact that their stock of brake pads will sell faster and can be run leaner than with, for example, OE brake pads, all in all leading to better financial results and more satisfied customers when they experience a better ride from improved brake performance and feel", Johan said.

WUNDERKIND-Custom

WUNDERKIND Sportster parts

WUNDERKIND-Custom is enlarging its high-end parts and accessories range to include a new line of products for Sportster models, all of which are featured on its show bike – the WK2.


Across the range the parts share a common look, but with differing styles to create a modern design combined with a sporty character and technical know-how.
A key new part in the range is the new air filter, with which WUNDERKIND-Custom says it reacted to annoying oil leaks. It does this through the use of the integrated ODS suction technique that enables effective oil suction. The air filter is also said to offer more power, along with pleasing aesthetics. 



Further parts in the new range are a side-mountable tachometer holder and a two-part pulley wheel that maintains the original drive ratio, but with a reduced weight, and a different rear light housing, which has been fully machined and made to fit oval and round indicators.
