Harley-Davidson is selling fewer
bikes than it did just a few years ago,
but the company said Tuesday that it’s
turning a profit halfway through 2010
thanks, in part, to its restructuring that
has included cost-cutting measures at
its Springettsbury Township plant.
Previously, the company lost money
in the fourth quarter of 2009 and,
when counting discontinued opera-
tions, lost money for all of last year.
But, by both measures, it turned a
profit in the first and second quarters
of this year. It reported a $71.16 mil-
lion net income for the second quar-
ter.
