CEO Commentary Throughout the third quarter , the Polaris team displayed a high level of flexibility and demonstrated their commitment to delivering industry - leading products to our dealers and customers as quickly as possible . Retail sales were impacted by the substantial deterioration of the supply chain permeating the global economy , but continued interest and demand from existing riders and new customers advanced our market position , further illustrating Polaris ' role as the global leader in Powersports . Despite total Company sales being flat for the quarter due to component shortages , we gained ORV share for the 4th straight quarter against the backdrop of a very difficult supply chain environment . We expect the supply chain will remain volatile into 2022 , but with this team's tenacity , our strong brands , future product plans , and focused execution , I am excited by what the future holds for Polaris . - Mike Speetzen , Chief Executive Officer of Polaris Inc.
