Q1 2022 earnings report

Did PII’s latest earnings report raise any warning flags?

PII Q1 2022 earnings missed expectations by a significant margin. The miss was driven by flat revenue compared to the year ago quarter as well as increased supply chain challenges and inflation. The bright spot in the earnings report was that demand for the company’s products remained strong. Overall revenues were flat, adjusted net earnings decreased (45.6)%, and adjusted EPS were (43.9)% lower than in Q1 2021.

Thesis

Why are we adding to our position in PII?

We continue to believe in the long-term prospects of the company. With full year 2022 guidance un-changed it seems that Q1 2022 challenges are expected to be overcome in the later stages of the year.

The weak Q1 2022 number have driven the share price down and created an opportunity to add to our position at an improved valuation.
