Good morning, and welcome to the Polaris Q2 2019 Earnings Call and Webcast. [Operator Instructions].
I would now like to turn the conference over to Richard Edwards, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.
Richard Edwards -- Head of Investor Relations
Thank you, Chad, and good morning everyone. Thank you for joining us for our 2019 second quarter earnings call. A slide presentation is accessible at our website at www.ir.polaris.com, which has additional information for this morning's call.
Scott Wine, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; and Mike Speetzen, our Chief Financial Officer, will have remarks summarized in the quarter and full year expectations, and then we will take some questions. During the call, we will be discussing various topics, which should be considered forward-looking for the purposes of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially from those projections in the forward-looking statements.
You can refer to our 2018 10-K for additional details regarding these risks and uncertainties. All references to second quarter 2019 actual results and 2019 updated guidance are reported on an adjusted non-GAAP basis unless otherwise noted.
Please refer to our Regulation G -- Reg G reconciliation schedules at the end of this presentation for the GAAP to non-GAAP adjustments. Now, I'll turn it over to our Chairman and CEO, Scott Wine. Scott?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Richard. Good morning and thank you for joining us. Our significant research and development investments figure prominently in our major product launches. But we also do a lot that flies under the radar and inspiring example of one of these less visible technology programs made news recently when it was revealed that a Polaris defense MRZR on the deck of a navy warship outfitted with Marine Corps Air Defense system brought down an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz last week.
We work hard to be good corporate stores and demonstrate our purpose. But nothing beats playing a role in protecting American service men and women. As a rule, I will not use a positive descriptor to refer the results that include both retail sales and earnings per share down year-over-year, but I must commend our team for delivering respectable second quarter performance in a very tough environment.
Tariffs remain the single largest contributor to our lower earnings but the aggressive and innovative mitigation efforts we are implementing reduce their impact. Our manufacturing and supply chain execution is at the best it has ever been, which helped us overcome headwinds and the significant upside from our strategic sourcing project is still to come. The industry's competitive climate and by that I mostly referring to excessive promotions is unhealthy and unhelpful but it is a game and our growth in side by sides testifies to the effectiveness with which Chris Musso and his team manage the Off-Road Vehicle business in the quarter.
Parts, Garments and Accessories was very strong. Highlighting the innovation and quality of our offerings. Our Flat Track Racing success continues in 2019. And in Q2, we finally made the FTR 1200 available to the masses. Initial demand is in line with bikes performance often. Poor weather hampered motorcycle ORV and especially boat retail yet Bennington is still up year-to-date and gained share in the second quarter, we continue to work diligently to resolution to our tariff issues, which I will address more thoroughly momentarily.
Second quarter, North American retail sales were down 2% lagging the overall Powersports industry, which was up modestly. Even with our strong brands and industry-leading products. We knew we were taking a calculated risk with our Q1 price increases. The biggest for Polaris and the industry in over a decade, not unexpectedly the largest impact on volume and market share was in our lower price and lower margin youth and value ATV segments.
We chose to allocate more promotional dollars to our higher margin RANGER and RZR lines, where our products superiority is clear and both performed better growing low single digits. The North American motorcycle industry remain weak in the quarter as evidenced by Indian gaining market share despite retail declining nearly 10%.
Slingshot struggled in the quarter, but under new leadership the team is making progress with the product, marketing and overall execution. Boat retail was down slightly in Q2, but our most consequential brand Bennington grew and gained market share.
North American dealer inventory was up 1% at the end of the quarter, positioning us well for our model year 2020 product introduction and our factory authorized clearance sale. We have institutionalized retail flow management across motorcycles and off-road vehicles and are managing the retail trends closely. Disciplined inventory management has also been a strength at Bennington and Boat inventories also in good shape.
The May 9th, announcement that increased 301 list 3 tariffs to 25% was a blow to Polaris. Not just in the increased cost but also because it diminish the prospects for a near-term comprehensive, US China trade agreement.
Fortunately, our team was prepared and their execution of aggressive countermeasures and mitigation efforts along with the lifting of the 232 Steel & Aluminum tariffs allowed us to offset the 2019 impact of the 301 list 3 increase. An excellent example of our mitigation efforts is the $30 million of machine parts, that will move from China to US suppliers including our WSI subsidiary.
The risk of 301 List 4 [Phonetic] going into effect remains, although the impact on players would be limited. As most of that final front would be direct to consumer goods. We continue to spend considerable time, energy and effort in our pursuit of just relief for the unintended impact of tariffs on our US plants and US business units.
We are making progress with the administration and Congress and although we have no assurances that relief will be granted, we are continuing to press our very strong case for fair resolution.
We have aggressively leverage our tools and talent to strengthen the performance in our aftermarket business. So there second quarter progress was both expected and encouraging. Our Powersports aftermarket brand portfolio which includes Klim, Kolpin, 509, Pro Armor and Trail Tech has consistently delivered strong growth for the past 18-months and was up over 10% in the quarter.
Transamerican Auto Parts was flat in the period with the 95 store strong 4WP retail channel, up 7% and e-commerce up 12%, demonstrating the effectiveness of improvements Craig Scanlon and the team were driving. The smaller wholesale channel was down 12% as we actively manage the portfolio toward more strategic, higher margin customers.
TAP is well positioned for accelerating profitable growth in the second half and beyond. Steve Eastman transformation of our PG&A and aftermarket business has been very impressive and very profitable. So it makes sense to invest more here to facilitate faster growth, we commenced operations earlier this month at our new state-of-the-art 500,000 square foot distribution center in Fernley, Nevada. It is our first distribution facility capable of supporting all of our businesses and brands and importantly enables one to two day parcels shipments to the West Coast customers.
I will now turn it over to our Chief Financial Officer, Mike Speetzen who'll update you on our financial plans and resources.
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Thanks Scott and good morning. For the second quarter sales were up 18% on a GAAP and adjusted basis versus the prior year. Organic sales growth was 7%; Foreign exchange was a 1 point drag and the Boat's acquisition added a $182 million of sales during the quarter.
Average selling prices were up 7% driven by price increases as well as favorable side-by-side mix, second quarter earnings per share on a GAAP basis was $1.42. Adjusted earnings per share was $1.73 down 2% for the quarter, which slightly exceeded our previously issued guidance, driven by a combination of tariff mitigation and timing of tariff costs.
I'd note that earnings growth adjusted for tariffs, foreign exchange and interest rate increases would have been approximately 20% in the quarter, reflecting continued improvement in business fundamentals. Foreign exchange had a negative impact on the quarter versus 2018, driven by a strong dollar primarily against the euro and the Canadian dollar.
However, the impact was in line with our expectations. For the remainder of the year, we're planning foreign exchange continue to have a negative impact on pre-tax profit, the full-year impact is estimated to be approximately $30 million or $0.37 per share. This assumes an average euro to USD rate of $1.12 and the CAD to USD at $0.74.
If foreign exchange rates hold at current spot rates for the remainder of the year. There could be additional favorability that has not yet been included in our revised 2019 guidance. From a transactional perspective we have hedged approximately 75% of our remaining 2019 exposure for Canada.
From a segment reporting perspective, ORV/Snowmobiles segment sales were up 6% in the second quarter, primarily due to increased prices, PG&A growth as well as from the benefit of stronger side-by-side mix. Snowmobiles were also up in the quarter, but Q2 is not meaningful given the seasonality personnel.
ORV wholegood sales increased 4% given stronger side-by-side sales mix. Average selling prices were up 9% for ORV during the quarter, driven by the price increases and positive product mix, sales unit volume was down during the quarter, in line with the retail volume decline, but as Scott indicated we are strategically targeting categories where we can maximize profitability for the business given the significant tariff headwind we're battling.
Our premium RANGER's, GENERAL's and RZR's all grew sales volume during the quarter with declines in the less profitable segments of value, youth [Phonetic] and trail. Motorcycle sales increased 15% on a GAAP and 14% on an adjusted basis in the second quarter, driven by strong shipments of Indian, which included the newly introduced FTR1200.
ASP for the quarter was down 1% driven by foreign exchange given strong international growth in the mix of mid-size and standard bikes versus heavyweight. Indian grew market share for the quarter as we began retailing highly anticipated FTR1200. International sales were up 41% and PG&A sales were up 11% during the quarter, driven primarily by the FTR1200 shipments. As a point of reference, beginning this quarter, we are now adding the standard category of motorcycles to our mid-size and heavyweight industry calculations on referencing the North American motorcycle industry. To capture the retail sales and market share for FTR.
I'd also remind you that the FTR1200 volume is also driven by non-North American retail, which is not reported in our retail sales figures, but is included in our motorcycle sales guidance. Global adjacent market sales were up 7% during the quarter driven by all product categories. Average selling prices were flat during the quarter. Aftermarket sales were up 1% compared to last year with TAP sales flat and our other aftermarket brands increasing 12% during the second quarter.
Our Boat segment reported sales of $182 million for the quarter on a pro forma basis the Boat segment sales were down 2%. However, on a pro forma year-to-date basis Boats are up 5%. The decline in the second quarter can be attributable to a combination of year-over-year shipment timing as we approach the closing of the Boat acquisition in July of 2018 an unusually wet weather patterns during this year's second quarter.
Our International sales were up 13% on a reported basis and up 19% when you remove the unfavorable impact from currency. The growth was driven by Motorcycles and Global Adjacent Markets.
Parts, Garments and Accessory sales increased 10% during the quarter. All business segments are up for the quarter with growth coming primarily from accessory sales. Given our first half performance and the outlook for the remainder of the year, we are revising our full-year guidance as follows. We are narrowing our full-year total company sales growth guidance and now expect sales to increase in the 12% to 13% range for the year.
The North American Powersports industry is expected to remain positive in the low to mid single-digit percent range driven by growth in the side-by-side market, while the motorcycle market is expected to remain weak. We continue to expect Boat sales to contribute about 6% to the full-year increase in sales versus 2018.
We are narrowing our full year adjusted earnings per share for 2019. We are raising the lower end of our previously issued guidance by an additional $0.05 to $6.10 per diluted share given our first half results primarily from our Boat segment. We're maintaining the upper end of the range at $6.30 per diluted share.
The revised EPS range includes the added costs related to the change in the 301 list 3 tariff rate from 10% to 25% and all component shift after the effective date. We're holding the upper end of the range despite this added cost, given the positive tariff mitigation efforts the team has realized. The 301 list 3 tariff moving to 25% places an additional $30 million of cost pressure on 2019 earnings and as Scott pointed out, we've been able to mitigate existing tariff exposure and we're recognizing the benefit from the 232 tariffs removal to essentially offset this added cost.
The $30 million and 301 list 3 at 25% annualizes out to $60 million to $70 million on a full year basis, or an incremental $30 million to $40 million impact as we head into 2020. Excluding the tariff costs along with the negative currency and higher interest cost our underlying operating earnings performance is anticipated to improve 15% to 18% on a year-over-year basis, reflecting the continued progress we're making in business fundamentals.
For the second half of 2019, our revenue is evenly split between Q3 and Q4. Mix however drives differences between the earnings within the quarters. Additionally, we have higher R&D costs in Q3 versus Q4 given supplier validation costs related to the supplier -- supply chain transformation project. This coupled with the fact that our dealer shows expense in Q3 drives approximately 55% of our second half expected EPS guidance to be realized in the fourth quarter.
Moving down the P&L, our previously issued guidance ranges remain unchanged as shown on this current slide. However, there are a couple of points I want to highlight.
First adjusted gross profit margins, while expected to be down on an absolute basis driven by tariffs and negative currency are up 80 to 110 basis points prior to the effects of those items, driven by higher volume mix, price and productivity. We continue to see the competition promote aggressively in the second quarter both ORV and motorcycles. And while we are spending more on promotions than originally anticipated, we are being selective as to where we spend our promotional dollars which is generating positive mix that offset the additional promotional costs.
Gross profit margin expectations by segment also remain unchanged. We have provided the gross profit margin details by segment in the appendix of this presentation.
Secondly, adjusted operating expenses are expected to increase in the mid-teens percentage range in 2019, up 10 to 20 basis points as a percentage of sales, resulting from the addition of operating expenses from the Boat segment, the new multi-brand distribution center in Fernley, Nevada; higher variable compensation costs, the costs associated with the 65th anniversary celebration and summer dealer meeting being held next week. And lastly, the ongoing investment in research and development expenses.
Moving on to sales expectations by segment. ORV/Snowmobile sales are now expected to be up mid-to-high single-digits. Our range has expanded from previous guidance with the mix of side-by-side products and expected to be more favorable than previously anticipated, as well as stronger international and PG&A sales.
Motorcycle sales are now expected to be up low-to-mid teens percent. We expanded the range from prior guidance given the weak market and a modest adjustment in the number of FTR1200 bikes expected to ship in 2019 as we cautiously ramped production to ensure we met high expectations around quality.
Both global adjacent market, Aftermarket segment sales expectations remain unchanged at up mid-single digits percent. International and PG&A sales which are included in the respective segments are both performing better than anticipated. Therefore, we now expect international sales to increase mid single digits percent and PG&A sales to increase in the mid-to-high single digits percent range for the full year. And lastly, Boat sales expectations remain largely unchanged.
Operating cash flow finished at $203 million through the first half of 2019, up 23% over the same time last year, driven by lower working capital requirements. Cash flow is expected to improve approximately 23% for the full year compared to last year, unchanged from our previous expectations. Our bank leverage ratio defined as total debt to EBITDA stands at approximately 2.46 times, well below our bank covenant requirements and we will continue to focus on debt reductions for the remainder of 2019.
With that, I'll turn it back over to Scott for some final thoughts.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Mike. I'm encouraged by the way our players team battled through the first half, driving quality and productivity improvements that will pay dividends in the months and years ahead. The Powersports industry has been resilient and growing year-to-date and we are excited to launch our model year 2020 product introductions to extend our reach.
Over the weekend, we had a pre-launch event with our closest partners and social media influencers and received outstanding feedback. Reinforcing our conviction that these new products will raise the bar in their respective segments.
Our innovations are not limited to vehicles and we will continue to leverage technology to improve customer experience across the business. As we begin our second year in the Boat business. We like the market share gains and growth at Bennington and we use our Boat dealer shows over the next few weeks to showcase plans for growth across all of our Marine brands.
International Global Adjacent Markets and Parts, Garments and Accessories are all performing well. Highlighting the disparity between North American unit volume and overall corporate revenue and demonstrating the positive impact of our diversification.
The Motorcycle industry remains challenging with promotions more than products putting pressure on our Indian business. With FTR1200 production, accelerating in the second half and our portfolio continuing to expand we like our opportunity to gain market share. Our strategic sourcing initiative continues to steal positive results.
Wave 1 is moving to implementation with savings now projected to exceed our aggressive targets. Wave 2 kicked off in May and we remain confident that this strategic sourcing project will be the largest productivity boost the company has ever executed.
We are excited to welcome thousands of Polaris dealers from around the world to our 65th anniversary dealer show here next week. We plan to demonstrate clearly, while we are so confident in our ability to lead the industry and drive profitable growth for many years to come.
With that, we'll open the line for questions. Thank you.
Questions and Answers:
Operator
Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session [Operator Instructions] The first question will come from Jaime Katz of Morningstar. Please go ahead.
Jaime M. Katz -- Morningstar, Inc. -- Analyst
Hi, good morning, guys.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Good morning, Jaime.
Jaime M. Katz -- Morningstar, Inc. -- Analyst
I'm curious about aftermarket parts. It looks like for the second half of the year, you guys are anticipating sales that rise maybe at a high single-digit pace, which is faster than, that segment has risen for you over the last few years since you've owned it. So is there something coming out in that segment that is giving you confidence that you can accomplish that run rate?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. Jaime, as I indicated in my remarks, we had really strong growth in our retail segment up 7%, our e-com segment up 12% in the quarter. And Craig Scanlon and the team have really put a lot of fundamental improvements in the business. So we feel good about that and then our Powersports portfolio as I indicated is also been continuing to grow strongly. So I think as we reduce some of the headwinds we've seen in our wholesale business and they start to get their arms around that. We just feel better about the way that business executed in the second quarter what we're expecting the kind of the trends as we move into the second half of the year.
Jaime M. Katz -- Morningstar, Inc. -- Analyst
Okay. And then there wasn't too much discussion about dealer floor space. But I'm curious as you have, if you guys have been able to capitalize maybe an incremental floor space as Arctic Cat has incrementally weaken over the last year or so and whether or not dealers are more receptive to taking more of your product? Thanks.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Jim and good question but I tell you with RFM. We have our profile set with our dealers. It's working extremely well. We do see, as we introduce new products is we're about to do, we tend to get more floor space to make sure that they can showcase and they increased their profile a little bit, but I wouldn't say that there has been a tremendous increase because of the, the shift in that competitor.
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Next question, Chad.
Operator
Certainly. Next question comes from James Hardiman with Wedbush. Please go ahead.
James Hardiman -- Wedbush Securities Inc. -- Analyst
Hey, good morning. So ORV retail was down a little bit in the second quarter, but the guidance for that segment was actually raised at high end. Maybe walk us through how that works? What was incrementally more positive? You touched on a little bit of it, but maybe walk us through that bridge?
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Yeah, and James is -- as I pointed out, we actually pulled shipments down -- unit shipments down in the second quarter pretty much in line with retail again a testament to how RFM works and adjust on a real-time basis. Really what we're benefiting from is we indicated from a retail standpoint side-by-side sales are growing, ATV is contracting and that gives us a boost from an ASP standpoint, but you also have to consider there is international revenue. It wasn't much of a factor in Q2 but as we look out for the balance of the year, international growth, will help ORV as will PG&A and so those really fed into the revision in terms of the mix expectations. The growth coming from PG&A which obviously the accessories that go with our side by sides are a big component of that.
James Hardiman -- Wedbush Securities Inc. -- Analyst
Got it. And then sort of a two-part tariff question here. So the $30 million of 301 List 3, you've got some exemptions. I think you pointed out, but I'm assuming that none of those exemption were on the List 3 stuff since that window just opened up a few weeks ago. And so, if you're successful with exemption does that -- is there still a potential for $30 million of upside as we work our way through that. And then, if at all possible and I'm not going to ask you for guidance for 2020. But just how do I think about 2020 in terms of the incremental tariff piece that we've gotten over the last few months obviously for '19 there was $30 million, and you're able to offset that. Should I think about that being offset in 2020 as well, or were there some timing effects that will still make the incremental piece for 2020, if everything stays where it is right now go up?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
That's a long two-part question.
James Hardiman -- Wedbush Securities Inc. -- Analyst
Yeah, [Speech Overlap]
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
So it's, obviously it's a complex topic, but you actually summarize that accurately. There are no exemptions for List 3 301 yet. There might be and really it's unlikely that we're going to get significant relief from exempt like part by part exemptions. That's why we're working so hard to get overall relief from this 301 List 3 tariffs, as Mike indicated, we've really been nice job of offsetting with mitigation efforts this year. Canada's team have worked every single angle to and then with the benefit of the 232 Steel & Aluminum, we did not increase it, but Mike said in his prepared remarks that the increase is up. It was the flow through to next year would be an incremental $30 million to $40 million. I don't think we're going to provide tariff guidance beyond that.
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Yeah, James, the only piece that would be incremental to that is obviously we still had some of the 232 impact this year and that obviously won't reoccur next year and then we're doing a lot of work around the retaliatory tariffs. So my expectation is that, if nothing else changes meaning no tariffs are reduced, no tariffs are added, we'd be up a little bit as we head into 2020 which is going to primarily from this incremental 301 List 3, 25% less some favorability that will get out of 232 and the retaliatory starting to be reduced as we ramp motorcycle production in Europe.
James Hardiman -- Wedbush Securities Inc. -- Analyst

Thank you. Our next question comes from Scott Stember with CL King. Please go ahead.
Scott L. Stember -- CL King & Associates Inc. -- Analyst
Good morning and thanks for taking my questions.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Good morning.
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Good morning, Scott.
Scott L. Stember -- CL King & Associates Inc. -- Analyst
Can we maybe talk about retail a little bit, an ORV in the release you talked about I guess it looks wondering why the industry was up and some competing products in the market that weren't there before. Can maybe just talk about the areas where you were going up against that I imagine it was more in the value in the youth side, but maybe just give us a little color on that?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Yes. Really, I think that the new products that we haven't been up against before is really a Honda [Phonetic] entering with the talent more than anything else, but at the -- most of our retail challenges, if you will, as we talked about in our prepared remarks. We're really in the value-ATV, the youth products and somewhat in the trail segment where we haven't refresh the product in quite some time and we chose with our price increases not to put as much promo on some of those lower-margin product lines and we actually saw that hurt volume and market share, but we have a real product advantage with RANGER and RZR right now. We chose to capitalize on that and I think it allowed us to manage the quarter reasonably well. I will tell you that we've got a very good plan as we roll both with new products and our factor authorized clearance sale and I expect us to continue to execute our retail and share play improving better in the second half.
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Scott, what I would add to Scott's comments is keep the word discipline in mind when you think about how we're going at promotion. There is some competitors out there that aren't being disciplined. We're going to be smart about it. As I said in my prepared remarks, we're doing the work around each program to make sure that it's got the right financial profile and we're protecting where we need to protect.
Scott L. Stember -- CL King & Associates Inc. -- Analyst
Got it. And last question about retail. I know there's been a lot made about weather, how much has impacted the quarter whether it was April, May or June, maybe just give us an indication of how it impacted your businesses, maybe by line Boats, ORV, the motorcycles and maybe just by month as well, just let us know how much weather really impacted June in particular? Thanks.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
That is not -- we don't have refined data on that. And if we did, we probably wouldn't share it. I will tell you that throughout the April was better weather but May and June both were difficult, it's probably hardest on Boats. Second hardest on motorcycles and then least hard on off-road vehicles, but it's certainly not helpful to any of our product lines when it's raining and I think the Midwest really had is that the, the most impact of of wetness in the second quarter.
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
And, Scott. We did see, I've seen a lot of the reports came out around Boats. We did see a pick up at the end of June and early part of July when weather did improve. So we know that was definitely a factor.
Scott L. Stember -- CL King & Associates Inc. -- Analyst

Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, thanks. Next question.
Operator
And it comes from David Tamberrino with Goldman Sachs. Please go ahead.
David Tamberrino -- Goldman Sachs -- Analyst
Okay, great. Just want to dive little more into the mitigation actions that you've taken so far. I think you called out about $20 million of benefit for this year. What have you done, what else are you're looking to put in place and how much of this incremental tariffs are incremental $40 million year-over-year into 2020 as were we currently stand. Do you think you could mitigate from some of your incremental actions from here?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Well, obviously the number we gave you is what we think we won't be able to mitigate, that's how we calculate impact, but I will tell you that as Ken likes to say we haven't had our next best good idea and the work that they're doing whether it's changing country of origin, which has been quite helpful to us. As I indicated, moving of some of the machine part. Sourcing we've done from China traditionally to some of our US suppliers including our own WSI subsidiary. We've got bonded warehouses to make sure we're not paying tariffs when we shouldn't pay tariffs. Really it is a unrelenting focus on reducing that impact and I think Lucy and I spent a lot of time in Washington, trying to get the relief we should. So we're not spending so much non-value added time trying to work around the tariffs and the impact on the company, but I really proud of the way the team has been able to navigate the impact thus far
David Tamberrino -- Goldman Sachs -- Analyst
Okay. And then just lastly from an inventory perspective ended the quarter up a little bit year-over-year. Do you feel as if there is any particular product where you have a little bit too much excess inventory at the dealer. So now, and you need to pull back for 3Q, or do you think you are in a good position ahead of your product launches?
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
We feel good.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. When we took the opportunity when we saw retail softening in Q1 to make sure that as we loaded up Q2 knowing that we have model year changeover factor, authorized clearance, new products coming out that we were making sure we're disciplined, we put a comment on the chart that we're at 95% of our RFM profile. So we're making sure that we have enough room if things were to move from where we've got projected right now.
David Tamberrino -- Goldman Sachs -- Analyst
Got it. It's helpful. Thanks guys.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. Next question.
Operator
Next question comes from Robin Farley with UBS. Please go ahead.
Robin Margaret Farley -- UBS Investment Bank -- Analyst
Thanks. Two questions, one is, I know you commented about the tariff impact of $34 million to $40 million into 2020. I just wanted to clarify with that after any offset from the 232 that will recur next year, and if not, can you just remind us the dollar amount of 232 that won't recur next year? Thanks .
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Yeah. So Robin the $30 million to $40 million is just purely List 3 at 25%. So that's an annual value of $60 million to $70 million, but it's incremental $30 million to $40 million. The 232 tariff in the retaliatory going away. We did not quantify those. They are in the $10 million to $20 million range to give you a rough order of magnitude.
Robin Margaret Farley -- UBS Investment Bank -- Analyst
Okay, great. Now, that's helpful, thanks. And then also just on the increase in order to shipment guidance. And you mentioned the higher mix of side-by-side, so obviously the ASP would be higher the mix. Was their also net increase in that shipment rates or was it mostly the ASP mix?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Well, there was a little bit of an increase in the shipment because we're making that shift change from an overall standpoint, from a unit, there wasn't anything material. But when you look at the value of those units that we've got going on from a side-by-side standpoint there is a big price ASP advantage. Unfortunately a fair amount of that is getting eaten up by the incremental promotion that we've had to put in place, but again, we're making sure that we're evaluating each of those decisions independently.
Robin Margaret Farley -- UBS Investment Bank -- Analyst
Okay, great. And if I could just throw one last one there. I was just looking at your European sales. And I think your comments for talking about the growth of international in the second half and other Powersports or at least one other Powersports comments on Europe being we could expected. So I wonder if you could just give us your take on kind of European retail demand overall. Thanks.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Well, Motorcycle industry in Europe is significantly better, stronger than it is here. So we feel encouraged by especially as we're launching the FTR as we've always indicated that really the bike targeted as much as Europe is anything, but with our second half product offerings we believe that will be as attractive is in Europe as it is here. So we think the market is, it's better than the overall European to kind of the Powersports market in motorcycle market is better than the overall European economy and we're encouraged by that.

Robin, we, you saw that we raised our guidance for international from low to mid single digits and that's not just a motorcycle driven movement.

The next question comes from Greg Badishkanian with Citi. Please go ahead.
Gregory Badishkanian -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
Great. [Indecipherable] In terms of the wet spring. Do you think that's lost sales or would you expect to get some of that lost sales back?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
We think it varies by industry with motorcycles and Boats, it tends to be, you're going to lose the vast majority of it. They lose the riding season or the boating season and are less likely to purchase. Offered vehicles, we think it tends to have less of an impact. People have thought about those purchase a little bit longer and will still continue to -- we've seen that recover a little bit better, but we think we lost some of it?
Gregory Badishkanian -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
Okay, all right. And then just, just to clarify in terms of the intense promotions in the value segment. That's been pretty consistent. But it's still -- it's still aggressive, but [Indecipherable] in July. Right.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Yeah, I'm not sure that we've really seen a notable change recently. They are down from what we saw at the beginning of the year, but that's been pretty consistent.
Gregory Badishkanian -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
Okay. Just finally the upcoming 65th year celebration. The product launches [Indecipherable]?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Greg, you're breaking up. We can't hear you. Maybe if you get back in the queue.
Gregory Badishkanian -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
Okay. Thank you.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Go ahead -- go ahead. Now, we can hear now.
Gregory Badishkanian -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
Could you, could you see it -- I'm sorry about that. Could you see a step-up in terms of the new products they're coming out in terms of innovation, or would you expect that to be pretty, pretty similar. New product is the last year or two or could we see a step-up this year when we come out of this year?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
As I've -- we don't talk about what we're going to launch. But we are spending more money. So therefore, you'd naturally expect if we're going to get a good return that we get more and better products and I think that's consistent with what, what you'll see.
Gregory Badishkanian -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
Perfect. Thanks guys.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer

And that's from Joseph Spak with RBC. Please go ahead.
Joseph Spak -- RBC Capital Markets -- Analyst
Thanks guys. Maybe just turning to Boats. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about the year inventory situation or given the weather and some of your comments, you just mentioned about being tougher to sort of pick up sales. And then, is there an opportunity over time to do something more RFM like with that business?
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Yeah, we, -- they already the Vogel family, just had a really good operating model. I'll just remind you when we bought the business, it had returns on invested capital of over 100. So they really understand this idea of flow. The weather impact, there is nothing you can do, you got to ship in before the season. So I think you know Boat inventory was up high-single digits but it's already depleted in July, I think we're feeling better about that we did cut shipments in the second quarter and retail has picked up in July. So we're feeling really good about where Boat inventory is overall, so, and as I said, we're having our dealer shows this week in the next couple of weeks, for the Boat brands and I think they're going to be pleased with the innovation that the Polaris then and both teams to work together to bring to the market.
Joseph Spak -- RBC Capital Markets -- Analyst
And then just on motorcycles, nice sales increase with the FTR which looks great by the way. So you had sales up like $25 million year-over-year, but the gross profit up only $2 million. And I know there's a lot of stuff going on with tariffs and promotions, etc., but was there also some element of start-up or launch costs with that FTR that sort of gets a little bit better as you move to the back half?
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
I mean, there's always that aspect, Joe. But I will tell you that when I look at second quarter for motorcycles alone, there was 300 basis points of drag created from tariffs because what you have to remember is motorcycles is dealing with two tariffs, they are dealing with all this inbound stuff that we have on 301, but they're also dealing with a very hefty retaliatory tariffs. Now, we've got the scale [Phonetic] production up and running its going incredibly well. We're working on getting FTR up and running. So we think we'll be in a good spot to be able to mitigate that next year, if those tariffs are still in place. We'll still have a drag on heavyweight it's much less. And it doesn't make sense for us to move production over there at this point.

The next question comes from Gerrick Johnson with BMO Capital Markets. Please go ahead.
Gerrick Johnson -- BMO Capital Markets -- Analyst
Good morning.
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Good morning.
Gerrick Johnson -- BMO Capital Markets -- Analyst
Hi, a couple of things on the balance sheet caught my eye. Your new inventory up 22% and then warranty reserve up 25% year-over-year. So, can you talk about those two lines, please?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
So from a inventory standpoint, the thing to keep in mind is number one, we added Boats, which adds over $50 million for the inventory. We've also got unorder of magnitude somewhere in the range of $30 million sitting in there that's a bump up versus last year from tariffs, because if you remember, we really didn't have a whole lot of tariffs in inventory at that point in time and then really we've got inventory build up as we get ready for the new product launches will be obviously launching shortly after the 65th dealer show and making sure that we're prepared for that. And then from a warranty standpoint there is a couple of things. The reserve is up. We actually last year had a couple of reserves that we reversed kind of holdovers from the legacy recall issues that we had, as we got further into those. We were able to true up those reserves. The other thing to keep in mind is we have about $8 million to $10 million worth of Boats warranty that's been added year-over-year as we bring that business on board and then we did in the third, or the second quarter, we did have several small recalls and service bulletins that added a little bit of cost nothing material or significant.
Gerrick Johnson -- BMO Capital Markets -- Analyst

Our next question comes from Michael Swartz with SunTrust. Please go ahead.
Michael Swartz -- SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. -- Analyst
Hey, good morning guys. Just wanted to touch on the competitive environment. Again, maybe just as a point of clarification to the -- was the competitive environment in the second quarter and Off-Road Vehicle a real stiffer that may be what you would have expected going into the quarter?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
The competition wasn't heavier the promotions were significantly more. I mean what -- Mike, use the word discipline and that is a word that I wish our competitors would start to think about because some and it's true, not just in Off-road Vehicles. We saw it in motorcycles as well. I mean, I think the most accurate term I can use for it is ridiculous. I mean when you're putting literally thousands and thousands of dollars on vehicles that just, it's not necessary and we were quite surprised by it and as I said we were, we chose not to do anything at our where we already had lower margins in our value and new products. So that's why we lost some volume and share there, but I think as we grow into, we were going to be aggressive with factory-authorized clearance sales. So we always are, and I think we're going to take that knowledge of what we learned in the second quarter and apply some of those learnings to how we execute promotion in the third quarter and through factory authorized clearance. And then really it's an innovation game that wins and I think we feel really good about the amount of your 20 product launches. But, I would tell you that the competitive promo from people that should know better was disappointing.
Michael Swartz -- SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. -- Analyst
Okay, that's helpful. And then Scott, maybe just quickly on Slingshot. I know it's a smaller part of the business, but just given what you've seen in retail there. I mean maybe just discuss your level of commitment. It sounds like you're doing some things there to turn that around, but any color you can provide on maybe what you're doing and again longer-term commitment to that?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Well, I mean my commitment to any business is if I see a future of profitable growth, pretty simple and now Mike has got a whole bunch of other stuff that he's going to look at, but my simple lenses through that view of, can we see a future and be confident of future profitable growth. So with that lens, we feel good about Slingshot both from the products that are in the portfolio, but really the execution that we're learning. We do have a number of dealers that do really well with Slingshot. The problem is, it's just not enough of them but we're learning from those dealers and, and applying those learnings other places and we're seeing the results of that.
Like I said, we've got new leadership in there. There really digging in, and we do feel like we've got and I've said all along this is going to be a slog of the year for Slingshot. But as we move into 2020 we feel better about our ability to play in that segment and so we're very committed to it until something changes and tells us that we don't see a future profitable grow.
Michael Swartz -- SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. -- Analyst

The next question comes from Craig Kennison with Baird. Please go ahead.
Craig Kennison -- Robert W. Baird & Co. -- Analyst
Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Mike, you mentioned you're under shipping relative to the RFM profile, why would that be?
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Well, we're just trying to make sure that we leave enough room, it's tough to get a solid projection around what's going on with retail and what we saw coming out of the first quarter. We intentionally did that just knowing that we were coming up against factor-authorized clearance in the model year changeover to make sure that we had flexibility and put the dealers in a really good spot with all the new products coming out.
Craig Kennison -- Robert W. Baird & Co. -- Analyst
Thank you. And then with respect to factory choice as we see it. That's a different kind of innovation that differentiates Polaris in a different dimension, I guess and also give dealers a crack at maybe better margins. How are your current factory choice options performing and how quickly can you roll that capability out to other products?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
But you know it is performing exceptionally well and it's -- I appreciate you actually acknowledging that it's real and innovation on, in and of itself, the work that our teams did over really a couple of years to put the capability within our supply chain and factory is to bring that to market was quite impressive. The uptake has been exceptionally good. The execution has been impressive. I think we are rolling out to more categories as we go into the model year '20. Product line motorcycles is already done a version of it, but I think the learnings that we really gone into RANGER and start to apply that to other categories is quite exceptional. So that's really we were making as many as we can to fulfill demand there, but we're going to continue to expand that category and we're seeing the uptake, not only in how fast those retail, but the profitability that you mentioned for dealers is another real benefit there.
Craig Kennison -- Robert W. Baird & Co. -- Analyst

The next question is from Tim Conder with Wells Fargo Securities. Please go ahead.
Timothy Conder -- Wells Fargo Securities -- Analyst
Thank you, gentlemen. And congrats again to the team on the execution here in a difficult period. Just a couple of follow-ups here. On motorcycles, it has the outlook excluding FTR has that changed here over the last 90 days.
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Yes, it has. That's why we widen the range from low-to-mid teens. We obviously as I mentioned in my prepared remarks, we pulled back a little bit on the shipments of FTR just given some of the focus around making sure we had the product absolutely, positively right. But we have seen weakness in other areas and that's why we've expanded the range. Scott, spoke to it earlier, we have seen some very aggressive promotional activity in the marketplace from our largest competitor. We're dealing with that as best we can. But we're going to continue to be disciplined.
Timothy Conder -- Wells Fargo Securities -- Analyst
Okay. And then Mike, just to follow-up again and to clarify the, the 232, a couple of the earlier questions you said, I think it was about a $10 million to $25 million range from the 232 that you had not factored in for 2020. Is that a gross number or is that just would be the incremental savings on 232 in 2020?
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
All right, so let me, I'm going to make sure I try and do this is clear as I can because John Wiehoff [Phonetic], will be talking about this, after we get off call. So we've got the 301 List 3 go into 25% that adds $30 million to $40 million in 2020. I think Robin had asked the question around 232 and the retaliatory. My response to that was, those are $10 million to $20 million of favorability meaning as we've ramped up production in Poland, we obviously start to avoid some of those retaliatory tariffs and with the 232 tariff being canceled this year obviously as we roll into next year the fact that we had cost in 2019 will not recur and I commented that was $10 million to $20 million.
Timothy Conder -- Wells Fargo Securities -- Analyst
Okay. And that's collective and comes in both those two items or --
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Correct.

[Operator Instructions] The next question comes from Joe Altobello with Raymond James. Please go ahead.
Joseph Altobello -- Raymond James & Associates, Inc. -- Analyst
Thanks. Hey guys, good morning. First question just wanted to clarify, the $60 million to $70 million of annualized increase from 301 List 3, I think you guys, it's previous said that was $80 million. So why did they come down by $10 million to $20 million?
Michael T. Speetzen -- Executive Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer
Well, I mean, I think some of it's just getting more refinement. I will say as unfortunate is this is to say we've become very good at working through with these tariffs mean and Ken's team has spent a lot of time studying the materials that we have coming in direct from China, as well as making sure that we understand the indirect, which has a lot more complexity to it, because that's where we have suppliers in the North America, for example, that are using parts from China and how does that flow through. So it was more of a refinement it moved around $10 million to $20 million but that's the key driver.
Joseph Altobello -- Raymond James & Associates, Inc. -- Analyst
Okay, that's helpful. And secondly, if and when there is a new NAFTA. That gets through Congress, is there a major impact for you guys from that?
Scott W. Wine -- Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
I'll give our trade government affairs team, a lot of credit. There won't be hardly any change. Whether its US MCI's what they call it and that we don't expect material change and how that impacts Polaris, but only because we were able to work with it's US FTR to make sure that that was managed properly. So, I feel reasonably good about that. Interestingly, we are trying to leverage votes for US MCA to help us get Tariff relief. So that could be a more helpful agreement than I had originally thought.
Timothy Conder -- Wells Fargo Securities -- Analyst
Great. Thank you, Scott.
