Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. Therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brunswick’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the 2017 Form 10-K). These results include, in management's opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly Brunswick's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Due to the seasonality of Brunswick’s businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.

The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The second quarter of fiscal year 2018 ended on June 30, 2018 and the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 ended on July 1, 2017.

As a result of the Company's June 25, 2018 announcement ending the sale process for its Sea Ray business, starting in the second quarter of 2018, the results of the Sea Ray business are reported in continuing operations. Refer to the Form 8-K dated July 19, 2018 and Note 3 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

On March 1, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized proceeding with a spin-off of its Fitness business. Following the proposed transaction, the Fitness business will be an independent, standalone, publicly-traded company, which will be formally named at a later date. The proposed transaction is anticipated to be tax-free to Brunswick shareholders and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Presentation of Benefit Costs: In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity’s sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendment requires entities to present the current-service-cost component with other current compensation costs in the income statement within income from operations and present the other components outside of income from operations. The Company adopted this amendment retrospectively during the first quarter of 2018. As a result, $1.0 million and $1.5 million were reclassified from Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to Other income (expense), net for the three months ended July 1, 2017. The Company reclassified $2.1 million and $2.8 million from Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to Other income (expense), net for the six months ended July 1, 2017. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient that permits the use of previously disclosed service cost and other costs from the prior year postretirement benefits footnote in the comparative periods as appropriate estimates when retrospectively changing the presentation of these costs.

Statement of Cash Flows Classifications: In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amended the ASC to add and/or clarify guidance on the classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (new revenue standard), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue standard and all related amendments for all contracts using

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

the modified retrospective method. The Company did not elect to separately evaluate contract modifications occurring before the adoption date. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the January 1, 2018 balance of retained earnings. Prior period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the terms of sale, primarily upon shipment to customers. Under the new revenue standard, estimated costs associated with retail sales promotions anticipated to be offered to customers within the Company's Boat segment are recognized at the time of sale, whereas under previous guidance, these promotions were recorded at the later of when the program was communicated to the customer or the time of sale. In addition, certain Fitness segment customer contracts offer incentives in the form of rebates settled with free product. These rebates are deemed to be separate performance obligations under the new revenue standard, and the revenue associated with the product rebates is deferred and recognized upon customer redemption. Under previous guidance, these product rebates were recorded in Cost of sales at the time of product sale. These impacts result in a change in the timing of when certain promotions and rebates are recorded, however, the total amount of cumulative revenue recognized over the life of the contract remains unchanged.

The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2018 for the adoption of the new revenue standard was as follows:



(in millions)	Balance as of December 31, 2017		Adjustments Due to ASC 606			Balance as of January 1, 2018
Assets
Accounts and notes receivable	$	485.3	$	1.2		$	486.5
Deferred income tax asset	165.6		9.3			174.9

Liabilities
Accrued expenses	609.0		39.1			648.1

Shareholders' equity
Retained earnings	1,966.8		(28.6		)	1,938.2

The impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of applying the new revenue standard was as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30, 2018
(in millions)	As Reported		Effect of Change			Balances without adoption of ASC 606
Net sales	$	1,400.9	$	9.7		$	1,410.6

Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied; this occurs when control of promised goods (engines, engine parts and accessories, boats, and fitness equipment) is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue related to the sale of extended warranty contracts that extend the coverage period beyond the standard warranty period over the life of the extended warranty period.

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company has excluded sales, value add, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities from the determination of the transaction price for all contracts. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment activity. For all contracts with customers, the Company has not adjusted the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between the transfer of the promised goods and the customer's payment is expected to be one year or less.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Tax Effects in Other Comprehensive Income: In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), which permits companies to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within AOCI to retained earnings. The ASU also requires certain new disclosures. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC amendment, but does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Hedge Accounting: In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, to simplify the application of hedge accounting and to better align an entity's risk management activities with the financial reporting of hedging relationships. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC amendment, but does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recognition of Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amended the ASC to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Lessees will recognize expenses similar to current lease accounting. The amendment is to be applied using a modified retrospective method with certain practical expedients, and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

For product sales, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue at the time the product ships from a manufacturing or distribution facility ("free on board shipping point"), or at the time the product arrives at the customer's facility ("free on board destination"). When the shipping terms are "free on board shipping point", the customer obtains control and is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the time the products are shipped. For shipments provided under “free on board destination”, control transfers to the customer upon delivery. Payment terms vary but are generally due within 30 days of transferring control. For the Company's Boat and Marine Engine segments, most product sales are wholesale financed by customers through the Company's joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC), or other lending institutions, and payment is typically due in the month of shipment. For further information on the BAC joint venture, refer to Note 10 – Financial Services, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K. In addition, periodically the Company may require the customer to provide up front cash deposits in advance of performance.

The Company also sells separately priced extended warranty contracts that extend the coverage period beyond the standard warranty period included with the product sale. When determining an appropriate allocation of the transaction price to the extended warranty performance obligation, the Company uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price. Extended warranties typically range from an additional 1 year to 3 years. The Company receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue over the extended warranty coverage period. This time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the Company, on average, satisfies its performance obligation evenly over the warranty period.

For certain customers within the Fitness segment, the Company provides rebate incentives settled in free product. These rebates provide the customer with a material right which would not have been received without entering into the contract and, therefore, represent a separate performance obligation to which revenue is allocated based on the products' stand-alone selling price. This revenue is deferred and recognized at a point in time upon rebate redemption, with a commensurate charge to Cost of sales for related product costs. The Company also provides product installation services to certain customers for which the Company recognizes revenue at the time of installation, using an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price.

As of January 1, 2018, $170.8 million of contract liabilities associated with extended warranties, customer deposits, and product rebates were reported in Accrued expenses and Other Long-term liabilities, and $18.4 million and $48.5 million of this amount was recognized as revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The revenue recognized primarily related to customer deposits. As of June 30, 2018, total contract liabilities were $182.4 million. The total amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2018 is $158.8 million for contracts greater than one year. The Company expects to recognize approximately $35.3 million of this amount in 2018, $57.6 million in 2019, and $65.9

million thereafter. Contract assets as of January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2018 were not material. In addition, costs to obtain and fulfill contracts during the period were not material.

The amount of consideration received can vary, primarily because of customer incentive or rebate arrangements. In addition, the Company provides customers the right to return eligible products under certain circumstances. The Company estimates variable consideration based on the expected value of total consideration to which customers are likely to be entitled based on historical experience and projected market expectations. Included in the estimate, is an assessment as to whether any variable consideration is constrained. Revenue estimates are adjusted at the earlier of a change in the expected value of consideration or when the consideration becomes fixed. As a result, the Company recognized a decrease to revenue from prior period for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of $12.5 million, primarily related to additional retail sales promotions for Sport Yacht and Yacht operations.

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations

On December 5, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Sea Ray business, including the Meridian brand, as a result of, among other things, a material change in strategic direction and a review of the expected future cash flows, market conditions and business trends. The Company engaged in a thorough sales process and determined that the offers received did not reflect an appropriate value for the brand. As a result, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to end the sale process for its Sea Ray business. This action was announced on June 25, 2018. As part of this action, the Company decided to restructure, including discontinuing Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht models and winding down yacht production in the third quarter of 2018, while reinventing Sea Ray Sport Boat and Sport Cruiser operations.

Due to the change in the plan of sale discussed above, the Sea Ray long-lived assets were measured at the lower of their carrying amount before being classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used, or their fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $9.4 million, $7.3 million after-tax, for an impairment of long-lived assets in the second quarter of 2018. The Company used independent market appraisals (a Level 2 input) to estimate the fair value of the two yacht manufacturing facilities. Additionally, the Company utilized experience from similar historical disposals and internal expertise related to current marketplace conditions (Level 3 inputs) to estimate the fair value of specific fixed assets related to the production of yacht models to be discontinued. The reassessment indicated that the carrying value, which included $3.8 million of catch-up depreciation for the period the assets were classified as held for sale, was greater than the fair value.

In connection with the wind down of Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, the Company recorded a $15.5 million reduction of revenue related to estimated retail sales promotions payable to customers to support the sale of sport yachts and yachts in the dealer pipeline at the date of announcement. Further, the Company recorded charges necessary to facilitate the wind down of yacht production as discussed in Note 5 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities.

The assets and liabilities of the Sea Ray business, which were previously reported as held for sale, have been reclassified to assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. Additionally, the results of these businesses are no longer presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in any period presented.

Note 4 – Acquisitions

Effective June 28, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Power Products – Global Marine & Mobile (Power Products) business for $910 million in cash. The acquisition is expected to close mid-August of 2018, subject to certain conditions. Power Products is a privately held manufacturing and distribution company based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, with approximately $233 million of sales for the trailing 12-month period ending March 31, 2018. Power Products manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of products, including battery and power management and digital switching, to marine and other recreational and specialty vehicle markets. The group also manufactures and distributes a broad and diverse portfolio of marine and transportation parts and accessories. Power Products will be managed as part of the Marine Engine segment.

Note 5 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company ended the sale process of its Sea Ray business and as a result of a change in the plan of sale, recorded an impairment of long-lived assets as discussed in Note 3 – Discontinued Operations. The Company recorded charges in connection with the wind down of Sport Yacht and Yacht production, mainly relating to inventory write-downs, increased warranty liabilities and employee severance and retention bonuses. The Company also incurred transaction costs during the sale process. These costs were partially offset by the reversal of the valuation allowance for estimated transaction costs which was recorded when the assets and liabilities of Sea Ray were initially reclassified as held for sale.

In 2018 and 2017, the Company executed headcount reductions in the Fitness and Boat segments aimed at improving general operating efficiencies.

In 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded charges within Corporate related to the transition of certain corporate officers.

In 2018 and 2017, the Company executed integration activities within the Fitness segment related to its acquisition of Cybex International, Inc. As of June 30, 2018, all Cybex integration activities were complete.

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company announced the closure of its boat manufacturing facility in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, as a result of continued market weakness due partially to unfavorable foreign currency impacts in the region. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, including the write-down of inventory. The facility manufactured certain Bayliner and Sea Ray boat models for the Latin American market. The long-lived assets at this facility were previously fully impaired.

The following table is a summary of the expense associated with the restructuring, exit, integration and impairment activities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017, as discussed above:

Note 6 – Financial Instruments

The Company operates globally with manufacturing and sales facilities around the world. Due to the Company’s global operations, the Company engages in activities involving both financial and market risks. The Company utilizes normal operating and financing activities, along with derivative financial instruments, to minimize these risks. See Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K for further details regarding the Company's financial instruments and hedging policies.

Foreign Currency Derivatives. Forward exchange contracts outstanding at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and July 1, 2017 had notional contract values of $333.1 million, $312.6 million and $309.3 million, respectively. Option contracts outstanding at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 both had notional contract values of $18.0 million. There were no options contracts outstanding at July 1, 2017.

Note 8 – Share-Based Compensation

Under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock awards and performance awards to executives, other employees and non-employee directors from treasury shares and from authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock initially available for grant, in addition to: (i) the forfeiture of past awards; (ii) shares not issued upon the net settlement of SARs; or (iii) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes related to awards. As of June 30, 2018, 5.2 million shares remained available for grant.

Non-vested Stock Awards

The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards to key employees as determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company granted a nominal number of stock awards during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and did not grant any stock awards during the three months ended July 1, 2017. The Company granted 0.3 million and 0.2 million of stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company charged $3.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively, and charged $2.8 million and $5.6 million during the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock awards.

As of June 30, 2018, there was $18.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

Performance Awards

In February of 2018 and 2017, the Company granted 0.1 million performance shares to certain senior executives. Performance share awards are based on three performance measures: a cash flow return on investment (CFROI) measure, an operating margin (OM) measure and a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier. Performance shares are earned based on a three-year performance period commencing at the beginning of the calendar year of each grant. The performance shares earned are then subject to a TSR modifier based on stock returns measured against stock returns of a predefined comparator group over a three-year performance

period. Additionally, in February 2018 and 2017, the Company granted 24,490 and 26,300 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding the TSR modifier. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company charged $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and charged $1.8 million and $3.1 million for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017, respectively, to compensation expense based on projections of probable attainment of the performance measures and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards.

The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier for grants in 2018 and 2017 were $61.59 and $64.82, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:



	2018		2017
Risk-free interest rate	2.4	%	1.5	%
Dividend yield	1.3	%	1.1	%
Volatility factor	38.9	%	38.3	%
Expected life of award	2.9 years		2.9 years

The fair value of the certain officers' and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI and OM performance factors was $57.19 and $58.77 in 2018 and 2017, respectively, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2018 and 2017, respectively, less the present value of expected dividend payments over the vesting period.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $6.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

Director Awards

The Company issues stock awards to non-employee directors in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. A portion of each director’s annual fee is paid in Brunswick common stock, the receipt of which may be deferred until a director retires from the Board of Directors. Each director may elect to have the remaining portion paid in cash, in Brunswick common stock distributed at the time of the award or in deferred Brunswick common stock with a 20 percent premium.

Note 9 – Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing Net earnings by the weighted average outstanding shares which includes certain vested, unissued equity awards during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated similarly, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of stock-settled SARs, non-vested stock awards and performance awards.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 were calculated as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(in millions, except per share data)	June 30, 2018		July 1, 2017		June 30, 2018		July 1, 2017
Net earnings	$	79.0	$	119.4	$	151.9	$	184.3

Weighted average outstanding shares-basic	87.6		89.8		87.8		90.0
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents	0.6		0.8		0.7		0.8
Weighted average outstanding shares-diluted	88.2		90.6		88.5		90.8

Basic earnings per common share:	$	0.90	$	1.33	$	1.73	$	2.05

Diluted earnings per common share:	$	0.90	$	1.32	$	1.72	$	2.03

Note 14 – Income Taxes

The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $19.0 million and $46.2 million, respectively, which included a net tax benefit of $2.6 million and a net tax charge of $2.7 million, respectively. The net tax benefit of $2.6 million is primarily related to the excess tax benefit related to share based compensation and the release of foreign valuation allowances. The net tax charge of $2.7 million was primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform net of the aforementioned three month tax benefits. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017 of $47.1 million and $69.1 million, respectively, which included net tax benefits of $2.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively. The net tax benefits of $2.3 million and $7.6 million were associated with the net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 19.4 percent and 23.3 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017 was 28.3 percent and 27.3 percent, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, tax legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law. The TCJA made significant changes to the U.S. tax code effective for 2018, with certain provisions having impacted the Company’s 2017 financial results. The changes that impacted 2017 included, but were not limited to, the write-down of deferred tax assets resulting from the lowering of the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, imposing a one-time repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and bonus depreciation that allowed for immediate full expensing of qualified property. The TCJA also established new corporate tax laws that are effective in 2018 but did not impact the Company’s 2017 financial results. These 2018 changes include, but are not limited to, lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate, a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, a new tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) net of allowable foreign tax credits, a new deduction for foreign derived intangible income (FDII), the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction, new limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation and interest expense, and limitations on the use of foreign tax credits to reduce the U.S. federal income tax liability.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the TCJA, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118 which provided guidance on accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date to complete the accounting for the impact of the TCJA. SAB 118 allowed the Company to provide provisional estimates of the impact of the TCJA in our financial statements for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, based on information and IRS guidance available as of the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a discrete net tax expense of $71.8 million in the fourth quarter and year ended

December 31, 2017. This expense consisted primarily of a net expense of $56.5 million for the write down of our net deferred tax assets due to the U.S. corporate income tax rate reduction and a net expense of $15.3 million for the one-time deemed repatriation tax. On the basis of updated guidance from the IRS and updates to our calculations, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded an additional discrete tax expense of $7.0 million primarily related to the one-time deemed repatriation tax. The Company has not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA and the provisional amounts will continue to be refined as needed during the measurement period allowed by SAB 118. While the Company has made reasonable estimates of the impact of the U.S. corporate income tax rate reduction and the one-time deemed repatriation tax on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, these estimates could change as the Company completes its 2017 consolidated federal income tax return which could adjust deferred tax balances, refines its calculations of earnings and profits which could impact the repatriation tax calculation, and analyzes new IRS guidance related to the TCJA.

The TCJA created a new requirement that certain income (commonly referred to as "GILTI") earned by controlled foreign corporations (CFC’s) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFC’s U.S. shareholder. Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules we are continuing to evaluate this provision of the TCJA. Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). Our selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. Whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends not only on our current structure and estimated future results of global operations but also our intent and ability to modify our structure and/or our business. The Company has included an estimate of the GILTI tax in the Company’s annualized effective tax rate used to determine tax expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018. However, we have not yet made a policy choice regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI.

The Company will continue to analyze the effects of the TCJA on its financial statements and operations. Additional impacts from the enactment of the TCJA will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as allowed by SAB 118.

No deferred income taxes have been provided as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 or July 1, 2017 on the applicable undistributed earnings of the non-U.S. subsidiaries where the indefinite reinvestment assertion has been applied. If at some future date these earnings cease to be indefinitely reinvested and are repatriated, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding and other taxes on such amounts. The Company continues to provide deferred taxes, as required, on the undistributed net earnings of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates that are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States.

As of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and July 1, 2017, the Company had $2.8 million, $2.3 million and $3.5 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2018 could decrease by approximately $0.9 million in the next 12 months due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in the applicable statute of limitations. Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the settlement of tax audits, it is possible that there could be significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2018, but the amount cannot be estimated.

The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its field examination and has issued its Revenue Agents Report through the 2014 tax year and all open issues have been resolved. The Company is currently open to tax examinations by the IRS for the 2014 through 2016 tax years. Primarily as a result of filing amended returns, which were generated by the closing of federal income tax audits, the Company is still open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2012 taxable year. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2013.

Note 15 – Postretirement Benefits

The Company has defined contribution plans, qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The Company's contributions to its defined contribution plans include matching and annual discretionary contributions which are based on various percentages of compensation, and in some instances are based on the amount of the employees' contributions to the plans. See Note 17 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K for further details regarding these plans.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. For example, the discussion of Brunswick Corporation's (Brunswick or the Company) cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity, the discussion of the Company's net sales includes comparisons of net sales on a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions and the discussion of the Company's earnings includes comparisons of diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of comprehensive income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.

The Company includes non-GAAP financial measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as Brunswick’s management believes that these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the Company’s ongoing business performance.

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing because of factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in Brunswick’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the 2017 Form 10-K).

Brunswick does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include pension settlement charges, restructuring, exit, integration and impairment costs, special tax items, wind down activities related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations and certain other unusual adjustments.

Overview and Outlook

As a result of the June 25, 2018 announcement regarding Sea Ray, starting in the second quarter of 2018, the results of the entire Sea Ray business are reported in continuing operations for GAAP purposes for all periods presented. Non-GAAP results exclude the Sport Yacht and Yacht component of the Sea Ray business, which is being wound down, but include the Sport Boat and Sport Cruiser component of the Sea Ray business, which the Company will continue to operate and reinvent. Outlook statements incorporate these changes unless otherwise noted. Refer to the Form 8-K dated July 19, 2018 and Note 3 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Overview

Net sales increased 4 percent during the second quarter of 2018 when compared with the second quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased 3 percent over the comparative period. Sport Yacht and Yacht operations had an unfavorable impact on sales comparisons of 3 percent. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in both the outboard engine and parts and accessories businesses. Boat segment net sales decreased as significant declines in Sport Yacht and Yacht sales were partly offset by solid growth in the aluminum freshwater boat business, the recreational fiberglass boat businesses excluding sport yachts and yachts, and solid growth for Boston Whaler. Fitness segment net sales increased slightly reflecting solid growth in commercial strength driven by sales to domestic health clubs, mostly offset by declines in cardio products led by continued weakness in Cybex sales. International net sales for the Company increased 6 percent in the second quarter of 2018 on a GAAP basis when compared with the second quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis, international sales increased 3 percent, driven by increases in Europe, rest-of-world regions and Canada, partially offset by declines in Asia-Pacific.

Net sales during the first six months of 2018 increased 4 percent on a GAAP basis compared with the first six months of 2017. International net sales increased 8 percent on a GAAP basis and increased 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Increases in international sales were primarily driven by Europe and Canada.

Operating earnings in the second quarter of 2018 were $106.7 million with an operating margin of 7.6 percent, which included restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $34.8 million, losses of $27.4 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations in addition to restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, $2.5 million of charges related to the planned Fitness business separation, acquisition-related costs of $2.5 million and $1.6 million of costs associated with an additional product field campaign in the Fitness segment. In the second quarter of 2017, the Company reported operating earnings of $171.1 million

Table of Contents

with an operating margin of 12.7 percent, which included restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $5.7 million and losses of $3.4 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. The decrease in operating earnings reflected the factors described above as well as margin challenges in the Fitness and Marine Engine segments. These factors were partially offset by higher net sales and the favorable impact of foreign exchange.

Operating earnings in the first half of 2018 were $211.8 million with an operating margin of 8.1 percent, which included restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $38.6 million, losses of $35.5 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations in addition to restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, $4.2 million of charges related to the planned Fitness business separation, acquisition-related costs of $2.5 million and $1.6 million of costs associated with an additional product field campaign in the Fitness segment. In the first half of 2017, the Company reported operating earnings of $262.5 million, which included restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $20.9 million and losses of $11.4 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. The decrease in operating earnings reflected the same factors as the quarterly period above.

Outlook

The Company continues to expect that 2018 will be another year of outstanding revenue and earnings growth with excellent cash flow generation. The Company is targeting approximately 8 percent to 9 percent net sales growth when compared with 2017, including the impact of announced acquisitions, international demand impacts from tariffs and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's plan reflects the combined marine business revenue performance to benefit from a steady global marine market, new products and the successful execution of our M&A strategy. The Fitness segment is expected to benefit from recently introduced new products, including console and technology enhancements.

The Company projects gross margin to be down for the year as a percentage of sales, however not to the same degree as comparisons for the first half of the year, including the factors impacting net sales as discussed above. Operating margins are anticipated to decrease slightly, with operating leverage in the high single digits. The Company projects operating expenses, including research and development expenses, to be higher in 2018 when compared with 2017 as the Company continues to increase investment spending to support growth including new products, productivity initiatives and information technology. Operating expenses are projected to be slightly lower on a percentage of sales basis in 2018 versus 2017.

The Company is planning for its effective tax rate in 2018 to be approximately 21 percent to 22 percent based on existing tax laws.

Discontinued Operations

On December 5, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Sea Ray business, including the Meridian brand, as a result of, among other things, a material change in strategic direction and a review of the expected future cash flows, market conditions and business trends. The Company engaged in a thorough sales process and determined that the offers received did not reflect an appropriate value for the brands. As a result, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to end the sale process for its Sea Ray business. This action was announced on June 25, 2018. As part of this action, the Company decided to restructure, including discontinuing Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht models and winding down yacht production in the third quarter of 2018, while continuing to operate and reinvent Sea Ray Sport Boat and Sport Cruiser operations.

Matters Affecting Comparability

Certain events have occurred during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017 which the Company believes affect the comparability of the results of operations. The tables below summarize the impact of changes in currency exchange rates as well as the impact of recent acquisitions on the Company's net sales:

Changes in Foreign Currency Rates. Percentage changes in net sales expressed in constant currency reflect the impact that changes in currency exchange rates had on comparisons of net sales. To determine this information, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparative period. The percentage change in net sales expressed on a constant currency basis better reflects the changes in the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Approximately 25 percent of the Company's annual net sales are transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company's most material exposures include sales in Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Brazilian reais and British pounds.

Additionally, operating earnings comparisons were positively affected by foreign exchange rates by approximately $5 million and $8 million in the second quarter and first half, respectively, of 2018 when compared with 2017. These estimates include the impact of translation on all sales and costs transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, the impact of hedging activities and pricing actions in certain international markets in response to the changes in the exchange rate between the local currency and the U.S. dollar.

Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges. The Company recorded restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017. The following table summarizes these charges by cash charges and non-cash charges.

Retention of the Sea Ray business and wind down of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. As a result of the decision to retain and restructure the Sea Ray business as discussed in Note 3 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, starting in the second quarter of 2018, the results of the Sea Ray business are reported in continuing operations for GAAP purposes. As part of the restructuring, the Sport Yacht and Yacht component of the Sea Ray business is being wound down.

(C)	The Company recorded $2.5 million and $4.2 million in the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, of charges within SGA related to the planned Fitness business separation.


(D)	The Company recorded acquisition-related costs of $2.5 million in the both the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively, within SGA. Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.


(E)	In both the second quarter and first half of 2018, the Company recorded $1.6 million of charges within COS related to an additional product field campaign within the Fitness segment.


(F)	Excludes a $1.0 million net benefit and a $0.2 million net benefit for special tax items for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and excludes a $5.7 million net charge and a $0.7 million net benefit for special tax items for the first halves of 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net sales increased during the second quarter of 2018 when compared with the second quarter of 2017. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in propulsion, led by increases in outboard engines, particularly in higher horsepower categories, as well as strong growth in the parts and accessories businesses in both the product and the distribution categories. Boat segment net sales decreased due mostly to significant declines in Sport Yacht and Yacht sales. These declines were partly offset by solid growth in the aluminum freshwater boat business, the recreational fiberglass boat businesses excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht, and solid growth for Boston Whaler. Growth in the aluminum freshwater boat business benefited from successful efforts to increase production levels of pontoon boats. Fitness segment net sales increased slightly resulting from solid growth in commercial strength driven by sales to domestic health clubs, mostly offset by declines in cardio products led by continued weakness in Cybex sales. International net sales for the Company were 33 percent of consolidated net sales and increased 6 percent in the second quarter of 2018 on a GAAP basis when compared with the second quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis, international sales increased 3 percent, driven by increases in Europe, rest-of-world regions and Canada, partially offset by declines in Asia-Pacific.

Table of Contents

Net sales during the first six months of 2018 increased compared with the first six months of 2017, reflecting the same factors as the quarterly period above. International net sales were 34 percent of consolidated net sales and increased 8 percent on a GAAP basis and increased 4 percent on a constant currency basis. Increases in international sales were primarily driven by Europe and Canada.

Gross margin percentage was down in the second quarter of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period. The decrease in gross margin percentage reflected significant declines in Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, including estimated retail sales promotions to support the sale of sport yachts and yachts currently in the dealer pipeline, charges to facilitate winding down the business and lower sales volumes. Additionally, several unfavorable factors in the Fitness segment contributed to gross margin declines including higher freight costs, unfavorable changes in cost inflation and inefficiencies and sales mix. Partially offsetting these factors were volume benefits and favorable movements in foreign exchange rates. In the first six months of 2018, gross margin percentage declined due to the same factors described above.

Selling, general and administrative expense and Research and development expense increased overall and as a percentage of net sales during the second quarter of 2018 when compared with the second quarter of 2017. Both line items reflected planned spending increases to support new product promotion and development in the Marine Engine segment. Additionally, Selling, general and administrative expense included costs related to the planned Fitness business separation announced in the first quarter of 2018 and acquisition-related costs. In the first six months of 2018, Selling, general and administrative expense increased due to the same factors described above.

The Company recorded restructuring, exit and integration charges of $34.8 million and $38.6 million during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and recorded $5.7 million and $20.9 million of charges during the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017, respectively. Refer to Note 5 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The Company recorded Equity earnings of $1.4 million and $2.4 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, which were mainly related to the Company's marine and technology-related joint ventures. This compares with Equity earnings of $1.4 million and $3.7 million recorded in the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017, respectively. The Company recognized $(2.5) million in Other income (expense), net in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018. This compares with $0.3 million and $(0.4) million recognized in Other income (expense), net in the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017, respectively. Other income (expense), net primarily includes pension and other postretirement benefit costs, the amortization of deferred income related to a trademark licensing agreement with AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. as discussed in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K, as well as remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates.

Net interest expense increased slightly for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 when compared with the same prior year period and included the mark-to-market impact of the Company's fixed-to-floating rate interest rate swaps.

The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $19.0 million and $46.2 million, respectively, which included a net tax benefit of $2.6 million and a net tax charge of $2.7 million, respectively. The net tax benefit of $2.6 million is primarily related to the excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation and the release of foreign valuation allowances. The net tax charge of $2.7 million was primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform net of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017 of $47.1 million and $69.1 million, respectively, which included net tax benefits of $2.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively. The net tax benefits of $2.3 million and $7.6 million were associated with the net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 was 19.4 percent and 23.3 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and six months ended July 1, 2017 was 28.3 percent and 27.3 percent, respectively.

Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, operating earnings, net earnings and diluted earnings per common share decreased during both the second quarter and first six months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year periods. Diluted earnings per common share includes the benefits of common stock repurchases on shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, increased by $0.12 per share, or 9 percent, to $1.50 per share for the second quarter of 2018 when compared with the second quarter of 2017, and included adjustments for the following items: restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges were $0.32 per share, losses related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations were $0.24 per share, costs associated with the planned Fitness business separation were $0.02 per share, acquisition-related costs were $0.02 per share, costs related to an additional product field campaign in the Fitness segment were $0.01 per share and special tax items were

a net benefit of $0.01 per share. In 2017, Diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted included $0.04 per share of restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges and a $0.02 per share unfavorable impact from Sport Yacht and Yacht operations.

Diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, increased by $0.22 per share, or 10 percent, to $2.51 per share for the first half of 2018 when compared with the first half of 2017, and included adjustments for the following items: restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges were $0.34 per share, losses related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations were $0.32 per share, special tax items were a net charge of $0.06 per share, costs associated with the planned Fitness business separation were $0.04 per share, acquisition-related costs were $0.02 per share and costs related to an additional product field campaign in the Fitness segment were $0.01 per share. In 2017, Diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted included $0.19 per share of restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, an $0.08 per share unfavorable impact related to losses from Sport Yacht and Yacht operations and $0.01 per share of net benefits from special tax items.

__________

bpts = basis points

(A) Includes $2.5 million of acquisition-related costs in the second quarter of 2018.

Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in propulsion, led by increases in outboard engines, particularly in higher horsepower categories, as well as strong growth in the parts and accessories businesses in both the product and the distribution categories. Revenues from the Lankhorst Taselaar acquisition completed in the third quarter of 2017 accounted for 1 percent of the Marine Engine segment's overall revenue growth rate in the second quarter of 2018. International net sales were 29 percent of the segment's net sales in the second quarter of 2018 and increased 11 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of an acquisition, international net sales increased 3 percent due to increases in Europe and rest-of-world regions, partially offset by declines in Asia-Pacific.

Net sales for the Marine Engine segment increased in the first six months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above. International net sales were 30 percent of the segment's net sales in the first six months of 2018, and increased 10 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of an acquisition, international net sales increased 1 percent with increases in rest-of-world regions being partially offset by declines in Asia-Pacific.

Marine Engine segment operating earnings increased slightly in the second quarter of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period as a result of higher net sales and favorable impacts from changes in sales mix and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable plant efficiencies associated with production ramp-up for new products and warehouse management integration, planned spending increases for product promotion and development, and acquisition-related costs. Operating earnings for the first six months of 2018 increased when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period.

(A) Refer to the Matters Affecting Comparability section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations on the Boat segment results.

Boat segment net sales decreased due mostly to significant declines in the Sport Yacht and Yacht sales, which negatively affected sales comparisons by 9 percent. These declines were partly offset by solid growth in the aluminum freshwater boat business and the recreational fiberglass boat business excluding Sport Yacht and Yacht, and Boston Whaler. Growth in the aluminum freshwater boat business benefited from successful efforts to increase production levels of pontoon boats; and was partially offset by declines in aluminum fishing boats, reflecting the impact of Bass Pro's acquisition of Cabela's, which was a large distribution channel for the Lowe boat brand. Additionally, saltwater fishing net sales were flat as solid sales growth at Boston Whaler, evidencing the continuing trend of consumers favoring outboard powered boats, was offset by declines in smaller brands in this category. Global wholesale boat shipments were down slightly, but sales increases were aided by higher average selling prices as customers continue to migrate to boats with more content and higher horsepower engines. In addition, price increases were implemented in response to inflation, particularly in pontoons. International net sales were 29 percent of the segment's net sales in the second quarter of 2018, and increased 4 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis and increased 1 percent on a constant currency basis. Sales increases in Canada were partially offset by decreases in rest-of-world regions and Europe.

Boat segment net sales increased in the first six months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, except Sport Yacht and Yacht sales negatively affected sales comparisons by 8 percent. International net sales were 28 percent of the segment's net sales in the first six months of 2018, and increased 6 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 2 percent as increases in Canada were partially offset by decreases in rest-of-world regions.

Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the second quarter of 2018 when compared with the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was a result of higher restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges mainly as a result of the winding down of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, weaker operating performance of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, including estimated retail sales promotions to support the sale of sport yachts and yachts currently in the dealer pipeline. Additionally, operating earnings were affected by less favorable plant efficiencies at certain boat facilities due in part to new product integrations. These factors were partially offset by increased net sales outside of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations.

Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the first six months of 2018 compared with 2017 due to the same factors discussed for the quarterly period above, except net sales outside of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations also included positive timing benefits from the adoption and implementation of the new revenue standard.

(A) In the second quarter of 2018, $1.6 million of costs were recorded for an additional product field campaign.

Fitness segment net sales increased slightly, resulting from solid growth in commercial strength as demand for these products increased, mostly due to our well-positioned product offering and changing exerciser preferences. Commercial strength growth was mostly offset by a slight decrease in commercial cardio due to declines in sales of Cybex product. Sales growth was also negatively influenced by delayed shipments due to challenges at certain domestic warehouses. International net sales were 48 percent of the segment's net sales in the second quarter of 2018 and increased nominally on a GAAP basis and decreased 2 percent on a constant currency basis, reflecting declines in Asia-Pacific and Canada, along with increases in rest-of-world regions.

Net sales for the Fitness segment increased in the first six months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above. International net sales were 49 percent of the segment's net sales in the first six months of 2018, and increased 7 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 3 percent as a result of increases in Europe and rest-of-world regions.

Fitness segment operating earnings decreased as a result of several factors including higher freight costs, cost inflation and inefficiencies, an unfavorable impact from changes in sales mix and costs related to an additional product field campaign. These factors were partially offset by lower restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges and benefits from higher sales. Fitness segment operating earnings decreased in the first six months of 2018 compared with 2017 due to the same factors discussed for the quarterly period above.

Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth an analysis of free cash flow for the six months ended:



(in millions)	June 30, 2018			July 1, 2017
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations	$	200.9		$	171.8
Net cash provided by (used for):
Plus: Capital expenditures	(90.3		)	(107.9		)
Plus: Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment	0.2			7.8

Less: Cash impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, net of tax	(13.8		)	(8.2		)
Free cash flow ^(A)	$	122.1		$	84.4

__________

(A) The Company defines “Free cash flow” as cash flow from operating and investing activities of continuing operations (excluding cash provided by or used for acquisitions, investments, purchases or sales/maturities of marketable securities and other investing activities, as well as cash paid for Fitness business separation costs, net of tax, and the cash impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, net of tax) and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. Free cash flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company uses this financial measure both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tool that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Free cash flow” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives.

Brunswick’s major sources of funds for capital investments, acquisitions, share repurchase programs and dividend payments are cash generated from operating activities, available cash and marketable securities balances and potential borrowings. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.

2018 Cash Flow

In the first six months of 2018, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $200.9 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by a seasonal increase in working capital. Working capital is defined as Accounts and notes receivable, Inventories and Prepaid expenses and other, net of Accounts payable and Accrued expenses as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding the impact of acquisitions and non-cash adjustments. Accounts and notes receivable increased $93.2 million due primarily to normal seasonal changes in net sales and timing of collections in the Marine Engine segment. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in Accrued expenses of $25.1 million, primarily driven by restructuring and other charges related to the wind down of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, partially offset by the payment of the prior year's variable compensation, which had been accrued as of December 31, 2017. Accounts payable increased $17.2 million due to normal volume increases.

Net cash used for investing activities during the first six months of 2018 totaled $96.1 million, which included capital expenditures of $90.3 million. The Company's capital spending focused on investments in new products as well as capacity expansion initiatives, mostly in the Marine segments.

Net cash used for financing activities was $114.2 million during the first six months of 2018. The cash outflow included common stock repurchase activity and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.

2017 Cash Flow

In the first six months of 2017, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $171.8 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was net earnings net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by a seasonal increase in working capital. Accounts and notes receivable increased $107.6 million due primarily to normal seasonal changes in net sales and timing of collections in the Marine Engine segment. Net inventories increased by $14.4 million due to increases in production. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in Accrued expenses of $16.0 million, primarily driven by accrued rebates associated with higher sales, partially offset by the payment of the prior year's variable compensation which had been accrued as of December 31, 2016. Accounts payable increased $12.7 million due to normal volume increases.

Table of Contents

Net cash used for investing activities during the first half of 2017 totaled $63.6 million, which included capital expenditures of $107.9 million. The Company's capital spending was focused on new product introductions and capacity expansion projects in all segments. Capital spending was partially offset by net proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $35.0 million and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $7.8 million.

Net cash used for financing activities was $98.1 million during the first half of 2017. The cash outflow included common stock repurchase activity and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company views its highly liquid assets as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, and July 1, 2017 as:



(in millions)	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017		July 1, 2017
Cash and cash equivalents	$	435.9	$	448.8	$	437.2
Short-term investments in marketable securities	0.8		0.8		0.8
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	436.7	$	449.6	$	438.0

The following table sets forth an analysis of total liquidity as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, and July 1, 2017:



(in millions)	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017		July 1, 2017

Amounts available under lending facility ^(A)	296.0		295.7		295.7
Total liquidity ^(B)	$	732.7	$	745.3	$	733.7

(A) See Note 16 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's lending facility.

(B) The Company defines Total liquidity as Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments in marketable securities as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, plus amounts available for borrowing under its lending facilities. Total liquidity is not intended as an alternative measure to Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments in marketable securities as determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company uses this financial measure both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view the Company’s performance using the same metric that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Total liquidity” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of the Company’s available highly liquid assets and immediate sources of financing.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $436.7 million as of June 30, 2018, a decrease of $12.9 million from $449.6 million as of December 31, 2017, and a decrease of $1.3 million from $438.0 million as of July 1, 2017. Total debt as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and July 1, 2017 was $433.7 million, $437.4 million and $444.0 million, respectively. The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 22.4 percent as of June 30, 2018, down from 22.8 percent as of December 31, 2017 and up from 22.3 percent as of July 1, 2017.

In anticipation of the acquisition of Power Products, the Company entered into an agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. on June 28, 2018 to obtain a $1.1 billion, 364-Day Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility (Bridge Facility). On July 13, 2018, the Company executed the First Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Facility) to remove certain restrictions on the Company to incur unsecured debt with a maturity date before the Credit Facility termination date. Simultaneously, $300 million of commitments related to the Bridge Facility were permanently terminated resulting in $800 million remaining under the facility. At or prior to the planned closing of the acquisition in mid-August of 2018, the Company plans to replace the Bridge Facility with a combination of 1, 3 and 5 year term loan agreements. Later in 2018, the Company plans to refinance a portion of the term loans with long-term debt.

Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to meet the Company's short-term and long-term needs.

The Company has executed share repurchases against authorizations approved by the Board of Directors in 2014 and 2016. In 2018, the Company repurchased $70 million of stock under these authorizations and, as of June 30, 2018, the remaining authorization was $40 million. The Company plans to pause the repurchase program until completion of the financing activities associated with the Power Products acquisition and the Fitness separation actions.

Table of Contents

Quarterly dividend payments for the remainder of 2018 are expected to remain consistent with current levels. However, the Company may increase these levels as earnings and cash flows improve, consistent with its capital strategy.

Net working capital activity is projected to reflect a usage of cash in 2018 in the range of $20 million to $40 million, excluding the after-tax cash impact of winding down Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. Additionally, the Company is planning for capital expenditures of approximately $220 million to $230 million for the full year, reflecting increased investments in capacity to support growth, continued investments in product leadership as well as our decision to increase investment as a result of cash benefits from U.S. tax reform. Including the factors mentioned above and other factors, and also excluding the after-tax cash impact of winding down Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations and the after-tax cash payments related to the planned Fitness business separation, the Company plans to generate free cash flow in the range of $200 million to $220 million.

The Company contributed $35.0 million to its qualified pension plans in the first half of 2018 compared with $40.0 million in the first half of 2017. The Company expects to make total contributions in the range of $150 million to $160 million during 2018. The increase in contributions is consistent with the Company's accelerated de-risking plan and previously announced actions. These amounts may be adjusted for several factors, including market conditions, pension funding regulations and Company discretion.

The Company also contributed $2.1 million to fund benefit payments in its nonqualified pension plan during the first six months of both 2018 and 2017, respectively, and expects to contribute approximately $2 million of additional funding to the plan through the remainder of 2018. Company contributions are subject to change based on market conditions, pension funding regulations and Company discretion.

Income Taxes

The Company expects its cash tax rate to be in the low-single digit percentage range in 2018, reflecting the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) which reduced the U.S federal statutory rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. This also includes benefits from an income tax refund, deductions resulting from planned capital spending and increased pension contributions.

Additionally, as a result of the TCJA, specifically the imposition of a one-time deemed repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, the Company reevaluated its indefinite reinvestment assertion as of December 31, 2017 and has since determined that certain non-U.S. subsidiaries will remain permanently reinvested. As a result of the TCJA, the Company is considering remitting cash back to the U.S. in 2018 from non-U.S. subsidiaries. These remittances would not result in any U.S. federal tax liability. The Company is continuing to analyze the effects of the TCJA including the impact on future repatriations and any related withholding taxes from non-U.S. subsidiaries. Future repatriations could result in additional funds to execute the Company's capital strategy.

Financial Services

On February 16, 2018, the Company, through its Brunswick Financial Services Corporation subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated joint venture agreement with CDF Ventures, LLC, a subsidiary of Wells Fargo and Company, to extend the term of their financial services joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC), through December 31, 2022. BAC is detailed further in the 2017 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), the Company has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The Company implemented internal controls to ensure adequate evaluation of contracts and proper assessment of the impact of the new accounting standard related to revenue recognition (ASC 606) on the financial statements to facilitate the adoption and implementation on January 1, 2018. There were no material changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of the new standard. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Brunswick’s operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of Brunswick’s common stock. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2017 Form 10-K and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018. other than as set forth below.

The inability to complete the acquisition of the Global Marine Business of Power Products, or the failure to successfully integrate that business, could negatively impact financial results.

On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Power Products – Global Marine & Mobile business, which includes the global marine, specialty vehicle, mobile, industrial power, and transportation aftermarket products businesses of Power Products. The closing of the transaction is subject to usual and customary closing conditions as well as regulatory review and approval. However, we cannot assure the timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed acquisition, including the timing, receipt, and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals for the proposed transaction. In addition, there is a risk of the occurrence of an event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction, and the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close, including due to the failure to satisfy closing conditions.

Acquisitions pose risks, such as our ability to project and evaluate market demand; maximize potential synergies and cost savings; make accurate accounting estimates; and achieve anticipated business objectives. The acquisition of the Power Products – Global Marine & Mobile business presents these and other integration risks, including:


•	the risk that the businesses of Brunswick and the Global Marine Business of Power Products will not be integrated successfully;


•	disruption from the proposed transaction could make it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships;


•	the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from the proposed transaction will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period;


•	the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred.

If the acquired business does not achieve projected results, our growth may be limited and our results adversely affected.

Changes to U.S. trade policy, tariffs, and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Changes in laws and policies governing foreign trade could adversely affect our business. As a result of recent policy changes, there may be greater restrictions and economic disincentives on international trade. The new tariffs and other changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, and certain foreign governments have instituted or are considering imposing trade sanctions on certain U.S. goods. The Company, similar to many other multinational corporations, does a significant amount of business that would be impacted by changes to the trade policies of the U.S. and foreign countries (including governmental action related to tariffs and international trade agreements). Such changes have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy, our industry, and the global demand for our products and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The Company has executed share repurchases against authorization approved by the Board of Directors in 2014 and 2016. In 2018, the Company repurchased $70 million of stock under these authorizations and as of June 30, 2018, the remaining authorization was $40 million.
