In 2021, the company operated in six business segments; ATVs, Snowmobiles, Motorcycles, Global Adjacent Markets, Aftermarket, and Boats.

Its products are sold through a network of more than 2,500 independent distributors in North America, more than 1,500 independent international distributors through more than 30 subsidiaries, and more than 90 independent distributors in more than 120 countries outside of North America.

Most of its dealers and distributors are multi-line and also carry competing products; however, some dealers carry the full line of Polaris products and, while relatively constant, the actual number of dealers carrying your products may vary from time to time.

Polaris also sells through a network of traditional retail centers.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Company expects to report its results under the new basis with the following reportable segments: Off-Road, On-Road, Marine and Aftermarket.

The new foundation is intended to create a simplified reporting structure to provide better focus and allow resources to be better utilized for future growth and improved profitability.
