Fourth quarter global motorcycle shipments increased 18 percent behind the continued recovery from the Q2 production suspension. Revenue was up 14 percent driven by the increase in wholesale shipments and continued global pricing, partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange. Parts & Accessories revenue was down 8 percent driven by unfavorable product mix and lower volumes, while Apparel revenue was flat.
Fourth quarter gross margin was up 6.8 points behind favorable units and pricing. Additionally, flat supply chain cost inflation and lapping of the additional EU tariffs in 2021 contributed to offsetting foreign exchange headwinds. Fourth quarter operating margin improved by 6.8 points due to the factors above.
