MILWAUKEE, WI – February 8, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – LiveWire Group, Inc. (“LiveWire” or the “Company”) (NYSE: LVWR) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2023 results.

“LiveWire concluded 2023 with a strong Q4 performance, delivering on units and operating loss guidance for the full year with the successful delivery to market of S2 Del Mar®, the first model built on our S2 platform that continues to generate a positive response from the media, our retailers, and our riders. We expect 2024 to be a year highlighted by product innovation, market expansion, and continued cost improvements,” said Karim Donnez, CEO, LiveWire.

  • Unit sales of 660 electric motorcycles, up double digits versus prior year
  • Consolidated operating loss in line with our expectations driven by product development costs relating to S2 platform, delivery of Del Mar, a provision for an obligation for excess inventory components, and additional costs to stand up the organization as a stand-alone public company
