polaris ceo expects another record year

Polaris Chief Executive Tom Tiller in addressing Polaris' expectations for the second half of the current fiscal year said, "We confirm our previously announced guidance of three to five percent sales growth for the full year 2003 and are increasing and narrowing our 2003 earnings per share guidance from the previously announced range of $4.70 to $4.85 to the current range of $4.80 to $4.90 per diluted share, a nine to twelve percent increase over 2002. Given the recent success we have experienced for many of our new product introductions, planned introductions for the remainder of the year and the cost reduction and quality improvement efforts we have in place, I feel confident we can deliver another record year in sales and earnings in 2003."
