Q2 FY26 earnings call · Jul 28, 2026TL;DR. Polaris reported Q2 sales up 9% with adjusted EPS of $1.97 (including $74M in tariff refunds), operational adjusted EPS of $1.01 ahead of the $0.70–$0.80 range, and is raising full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $3.00–$3.10 from $1.60–$1.70 alongside a higher sales outlook.
- + Q2 sales rose 9% and adjusted EPS of $1.97 beat expectations, driven by ORV utility and commercial strength.
- + Operational adjusted EPS of $1.01 came in well above the $0.70–$0.80 target range even after excluding tariff refunds.
- + Operational gross margin expanded 82 bps and adjusted EBITDA margin improved ~180 bps year-over-year, reflecting positive operating leverage.

- − Operational Q2 results included $32 million of ongoing tariff expense, with full-year tariff cost expected at approximately $215 million.

Capital returns
Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
