First quarter global motorcycle shipments decreased 7 percent, in-line with our expectations. Revenue was down 5 percent driven by the decrease in wholesale shipments and lower global pricing, partially offset by favorable mix. Parts & Accessories revenue was down 1 percent, while Apparel revenue was down 10 percent, as the prior period included anniversary product apparel.
First quarter gross margin was down 4.5 points due to the impacts of pricing and sales incentives, lower volume, and higher manufacturing costs. First quarter operating income margin was down 5.4 points due to the factors above, where operating expenses were roughly flat in the quarter.

International markets did not receive new 2024 Street Glide and Road Glide motorcycles in dealerships until the end of the first quarter. The decline in EMEA of 11 percent was driven by weakness in Germany and France. The decline in APAC of 12 percent was due to weakness in particular in China.

HDFS’ operating income declined by $5 million in the first quarter or 8 percent. This was due to higher interest expense and a higher provision for credit losses which was driven by several factors, similar to last year, relating to the current macro-economic environment. Total quarter ending financing receivables were $7.9 billion, which was up 4 percent versus prior year, primarily due to an increase in commercial finance receivables.

LiveWire revenue for the first quarter decreased by 39 percent. The revenue decline was due to a decrease in STACYC electric balance bike volumes and electric motorcycle product mix. Electric motorcycle unit sales increased, driven by new product launches, including the launch of the new S2 Mulholland model in the first quarter 2024. LiveWire’s operating loss of $29 million in the first quarter was the result of continuing to develop new motorcycle models and investing in initiatives to reduce EV systems costs commensurate with the early-stage nature of the business.

The Company’s ability to sell its motorcycles and related products and services and to meet its financial expectations also depends on the ability of the Company’s dealers to sell its motorcycles and related products and services to retail customers. The Company depends on the capability and financial capacity of its dealers to develop and implement effective retail sales plans to create demand for the motorcycles and related products and services they purchase from the Company. In addition, the Company’s dealers and distributors may experience difficulties in operating their businesses and selling Harley-Davidson motorcycles and related products and services as a result of weather, economic conditions, or other factors.
HDFS’ retail credit losses have normalized in recent quarters to higher levels after a period of historically low levels of credit losses. Further, the Company believes that HDFS’s retail credit losses will continue to change over time due to changing consumer credit behavior, macroeconomic conditions, including the impact of inflation and HDFS’s efforts to increase prudently structured loan approvals to sub-prime borrowers. In addition, HDFS’s efforts to adjust underwriting criteria based on market and economic conditions and the actions that the Company has taken and could take that impact motorcycle values may impact HDFS’s retail credit losses.
The Company’s operations, demand for its products, and its liquidity could be adversely impacted by work stoppages, facility closures, strikes, natural causes, widespread infectious disease, terrorism, war or other hostilities, including the conflict in Ukraine and the Red Sea conflict, or other factors. Refer to “Risk Factors” under Item 1.A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for a discussion of additional risk factors and a more complete discussion of some of the cautionary statements noted above.
