BRUNSWICK CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation. Effective January 1, 2023, Brunswick Corporation ("Brunswick" or "the Company") changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine Parts and Accessories ("Engine P&A"), Navico Group and Boat to align with our internal operating structure. As a result of this change, the Company has recast all segment information for all prior periods presented. For further information, refer to Note 9 – Segment Data.
Interim Financial Statements. Brunswick's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to 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.
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 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 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 2023 ended on July 1, 2023 and the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 ended on July 2, 2022.
IT Security Incident
As previously announced on June 13, 2023, the Company experienced an IT security incident that impacted some of its systems and global facilities. The Company activated its response protocols, including pausing operations in some locations, engaging leading security experts and coordinating with relevant law enforcement agencies. Normal global business operations resumed over the course of nine days following the incident. While we were able to quickly restore our operations, the incident resulted in disruption to sales as well as non-recurring costs. We will attempt to recover a portion of the lost operating earnings from lost sales and non-recurring costs from our insurance carriers. Non-recurring costs include labor while plants were idle, IT-related costs and costs for legal, consulting and other professional services directly related to this incident. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, we incurred non-recurring costs related to the IT security incident of $8.1 million. A portion of the non-recurring costs are included in Cost of sales and a portion in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. We estimate the incident resulted in lost revenue of approximately $80 million to $85 million and operating earnings of $35 million to $40 million in the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2023.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Supplier Finance Programs: In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which adds disclosure requirements associated with participation in supplier finance programs. ASU 2022-04 requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about the program including key terms and obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period. ASU 2022-04 is effective for financial statements for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2022-04 on January 1, 2023.
8
Under our supplier finance program, the Company agrees to pay Bank of America ("the Bank") the stated amount of confirmed invoices from our suppliers on the original invoice payment due date. Our suppliers may request payment from the Bank at a date earlier than the payment due date stated on the original invoice in exchange for a fee in the form of a discounted invoice amount. Brunswick or the Bank may terminate the agreement upon at least 90 days’ notice. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment ranging from 60 to 120 days from the invoice date, consistent with the terms of the original invoice. The Company does not pay the Bank any service fees or subscription fees under the program. In addition, the Company does not pledge any assets as security or provide other forms of guarantees for the committed payment to the Bank. As of July 1, 2023, December 31, 2022, and July 2, 2022, the Company had $16.8 million, $18.2 million and $18.1 million confirmed invoices under the supplier finance program, respectively, which were included in Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 4 – Acquisitions
2022 Acquisitions
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company acquired certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights as well as certain marine assets in the Southeast United States. These acquisitions enable opportunities across a wide spectrum, building upon the growth Brunswick has cultivated throughout the Company's shared access portfolio and new digital platforms. These acquisitions are included as part of the Company's Boat segment.
The Company paid net cash consideration of $93.9 million for these acquisitions. The opening balance sheets include $71.4 million of goodwill and $11.9 million of customer relationships. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions of $1.4 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense in 2022. The acquisitions are not material to the Company's net sales, results of operations, or total assets during any period presented. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of the acquisitions, and pro forma results for prior periods are not presented. Purchase accounting for these acquisitions is final as of July 1, 2023.
Note 5 – 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 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Form 10-K for further details regarding the Company's financial instruments and hedging policies.
Cross-Currency Swaps. The Company enters into cross-currency swaps to hedge Euro currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. During 2022, the Company settled $450.0 million of cross-currency swap contracts resulting in a deferred gain of $42.5 million within Accumulated other comprehensive loss. As a result, there were no cross-currency swaps outstanding as of July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of July 2, 2022, the notional value of cross-currency swap contracts outstanding was $250.0 million. The cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges, with the amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments included within Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized upon termination of the respective investment. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company settled $200.0 million of cross-currency swap contracts resulting in a deferred gain of $16.7 million within Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Commodity Price. The Company uses commodity swaps to hedge anticipated purchases of aluminum and copper. As of July 1, 2023, December 31, 2022 and July 2, 2022, the notional value of commodity swap contracts outstanding was $25.2 million, $24.1 million and $22.6 million, respectively, and the contracts mature through 2024. The amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in Cost of sales in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of July 1, 2023, the Company estimates that, during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $2.7 million in net losses (based on current prices) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.
Foreign Currency Derivatives. Forward exchange contracts outstanding as of July 1, 2023, December 31, 2022 and July 2, 2022 had notional contract values of $561.1 million, $684.8 million and $650.0 million, respectively. The forward contracts outstanding as of July 1, 2023 mature through 2024 and mainly relate to the Euro, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and Mexican peso. As of July 1, 2023, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $4.1 million of net gains (based on current rates) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.
14
Interest-Rate Derivatives. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company entered into and settled a series of treasury-lock swaps to hedge the interest-rate risk associated with debt issuances, resulting in a net deferred gain of $5.1 million.

Adjustments in both periods include the effect of foreign currency translation on goodwill denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, adjustments during the six months ended July 1, 2023 also include $4.8 million of purchase accounting adjustments from the 2022 Freedom Boat Club acquisitions, a majority of which relate to boat fleet fair market value adjustments. There was no accumulated impairment loss on goodwill as of July 1, 2023, December 31, 2022 or July 2, 2022.
As discussed in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies, effective January 1, 2023, we changed our reportable segments. Concurrent with the change in reportable segments, the Navico Group operating segment is now also the reporting unit at which we evaluate goodwill for impairment. As a result of this change, we evaluated impairment indicators at the previous reporting units immediately prior to the change and at the Navico Group reporting unit immediately following the change and concluded there were no indicators of impairment.
The Company's intangible assets, included within Other intangibles, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of July 1, 2023, December 31, 2022 and July 2, 2022, are summarized by intangible asset type below:

Other intangible assets primarily consist of software, patents and franchise agreements. Gross amounts and related accumulated amortization amounts include adjustments related to the impact of foreign currency translation. Aggregate amortization expense for intangibles was $17.2 million and $33.8 million for three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. Aggregate amortization expense for intangibles was $15.4 million and $31.3 million for three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively.
The Company tests its intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or whenever a significant change in events and circumstances (triggering event) occurs that indicates the fair value of intangible assets may be below their carrying values. The Company did not record an impairment charge during the six months ended July 1, 2023 or July 2, 2022.

Note 9 – Segment Data
Change in Reportable Segments
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine P&A, Navico Group and Boat to align with our internal operating structure.
Reportable Segments
The Company's segments are defined by management's reporting structure and operating activities. The Company's reportable segments are the following:
Propulsion. The Propulsion segment manufactures and markets a full range of outboard, sterndrive, and inboard engines, as well as propulsion-related controls, rigging, and propellers. These products are principally sold directly to boat builders, including Brunswick's Boat segment, and through marine retail dealers worldwide. The Propulsion segment primarily markets under the Mercury, Mercury MerCruiser, Mariner, Mercury Racing, and Mercury Diesel brands. The segment's engine manufacturing plants are located mainly in the United States and China, along with a joint venture in Japan, with sales mainly to markets in the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
Engine P&A. The Engine P&A segment manufactures, markets, supplies and distributes products for both marine and non-marine markets. These products are designed for and sold mostly to aftermarket retailers, distributors, and distribution businesses, as well as original equipment manufacturers (including Brunswick brands). Company-branded products include consumables, such as engine oils and lubricants, and are sold under the Mercury, Mercury Precision Parts, Quicksilver, and Seachoice brands. The Engine P&A segment also includes distribution businesses such as Land 'N' Sea, Kellogg Marine Supply, Lankhorst Taselaar, BLA, and Payne's Marine Group, which distribute third-party and Company products. These businesses are leading distributors of marine parts and accessories throughout North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The segment's manufacturing and distribution facilities are primarily located in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Navico Group. The Navico Group segment designs, develops, manufactures, and markets products and systems for the marine, RV, specialty vehicle and industrial markets. Navico Group's brand portfolio includes the Ancor, Attwood, B&G, BEP, Blue Sea Systems, C-MAP, CZone, Garelick, Lenco, Lowrance, Marinco, Mastervolt, MotorGuide, Progressive Industries, ProMariner, RELiON, Simrad and Whale brand names. These brands span multiple categories, including marine electronics, sensors, control systems, instruments, power systems, and general accessories. The segment's manufacturing and distribution facilities are primarily located in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Boat. The Boat segment designs, manufactures, and markets the following boat brands and products: Sea Ray sport boats and cruisers; Bayliner sport cruisers, runabouts, and Heyday wake boats; Boston Whaler fiberglass offshore boats; Lund fiberglass fishing boats; Crestliner, Cypress Cay, Harris, Lowe, Lund and Princecraft aluminum fishing, utility, pontoon boats, and deck boats; Thunder Jet heavy-gauge aluminum boats; and Veer recreational and fishing boats designed specifically to support electric propulsion. The Boat segment procures substantially all of its outboard engines, gasoline sterndrive engines, and gasoline inboard engines from Brunswick's Propulsion segment. The Boat segment also includes Brunswick boat brands based in Europe and Asia-Pacific, which include Quicksilver, Uttern, and Rayglass (including Protector and Legend). The Boat segment's products are manufactured mainly in the United States, Europe, Mexico, and Canada and sold through a global network of dealer and distributor locations, primarily in North America and Europe.
The Boat segment includes Business Acceleration which, through innovative service models, shared access solutions, including the Freedom Boat Club business acquired in 2019, dealer services and emerging technology, aims to provide exceptional experiences to attract a wide range of customers to the marine industry and shape the future of boating.
The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating earnings. Segment operating earnings do not include the expenses of corporate administration, impairments or gains on the sale of equity investments, earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, other expenses and income of a non-operating nature, transaction financing charges, interest expense, and income or provisions or benefits for income taxes.
19
Corporate/Other results include items such as corporate staff and administrative costs, investments in technology solutions, business development and other growth-related expenses, including IT enhancements. Corporate/Other total assets consist of mainly cash, cash equivalents and investments in short-term marketable securities, restricted cash, income tax balances and investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
Segment eliminations adjust for sales between the Company's reportable segments and primarily relate to the sale of engines and parts and accessories to various boat brands, which are consummated at established arm's length transfer prices as the intersegment pricing for these engines and parts and accessories are based upon and consistent with selling prices to third-party customers.

Note 11 – Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was 21.2 percent and 21.9 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended July 1, 2023 was lower than the same period in the prior year primarily due to the mix in earnings and the increase to the domestic benefit of export sales.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2023 and July 2, 2022 was 35.3 percent and 21.5 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended July 1, 2023 was higher than the same period in the prior year primarily due to an intercompany sale of certain intellectual property rights (“IP rights”) in the first quarter of 2023, to better align the ownership of these rights with how our business operates. The completion of this sale from one of our affiliates in Norway to the United States resulted in a discrete income tax expense of $52.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, which will be paid over time, as permitted under current Norwegian tax law.
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 2019 through 2021 tax years. The Company is open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2017 taxable year. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2015.

2032 and 2052 Notes
In March 2022, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million of 4.400% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") and $300.0 million of 5.100% Senior Notes due 2052 (the "2052 Notes" and, together with the 2032 Notes, the "Notes") in a public offering, which resulted in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $741.8 million. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes.
The 2032 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.400% per year and the 2052 Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.100% per year. Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and the first interest payment date was September 15, 2022. Interest on the 2052 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, and the first interest payment date was October 1, 2022. The 2032 Notes will mature on September 15, 2032, and the 2052 Notes will mature on April 1, 2052.
The Company may redeem the Notes of each series, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to maturity. If the Company elects to redeem the Notes at any time prior to (i) with respect to the 2032 Notes, June 15, 2032 (the date that is three months prior to the maturity of the 2032 Notes) or (ii) with respect to the 2052 Notes, October 1, 2051 (the date that is six months prior to the maturity of the 2052 Notes), it will pay a “make-whole” redemption price set forth in the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 29, 2022 ("Fifth Supplemental Indenture"). On or after June 15, 2032, in the case of the 2032 Notes, or October 1, 2051, in the case of the 2052 Notes, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes of each series, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. In addition to the redemption price, the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date.
If the Company experiences a change-of-control triggering event with respect to a series of Notes, as defined in the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, each holder of such series of Notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of its Notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the repurchase date.
Term Loan
During the six months ended July 2, 2022, the Company made the remaining principal repayments, totaling $56.3 million, of its 2023 floating-rate term loan. The term loan was redeemed at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued interest in accordance with the redemption provisions of the term loan. The Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.1 million related to the term loan redemption.
23
Credit Facility
The Company maintains a Revolving Credit Agreement ("Credit Facility"). In March 2022, the Company amended its Credit Facility with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company as subsidiary borrowers and lenders as parties, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. This amends and restates the Credit Facility, dated as of March 21, 2011, as amended and restated on July 16, 2021. The amended Credit Facility increased the revolving commitments to $750.0 million, with the capacity to add up to $100.0 million of additional revolving commitments, and amended the Credit Facility in certain respects, including, among other things:
•Extending the maturity date to March 31, 2027, with up to two one-year extensions available.
•Transitioning the reference rate for loans denominated in U.S. dollars from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") to the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), with a credit-spread adjustment of 10 basis points to be added to the reference rate for borrowings of U.S. dollar loans for each interest period.
During the six months ended July 1, 2023, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity totaled $741.9 million, net of $8.1 million of letters of credit outstanding, under the Credit Facility.
During the six months ended July 2, 2022, gross borrowings under the Credit Facility totaled $125.0 million. As of July 2, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding and available borrowing capacity totaled $747.2 million, net of $2.8 million of letters of credit outstanding, under the Credit Facility. The maximum amount utilized under the Credit Facility during the six months ended July 2, 2022, including letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, was $127.8 million.

In December 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured commercial paper program ("CP Program") pursuant to which the Company may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes ("CP Notes"). During the second quarter of 2022, the Company increased the size of its CP Program to allow the issuance of CP Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $500.0 million outstanding at any time. Amounts available under the CP Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time, with the aggregate principal amount of CP Notes outstanding under the CP Program at any time not exceeding the lower of $500.0 million or the available borrowing amount under the Credit Facility. During the first six months of 2023, borrowings under the CP Program totaled $285.0 million, all of which were repaid during the period. During the six months ended July 1, 2023, the maximum amount utilized under the CP Program was $100.0 million. Refer to Note 15 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Form 10-K for details regarding Brunswick's CP Program.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Brunswick Corporation (the Company, we, us, our) are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our business and by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Actual results may differ materially from expectations and projections as of the date of this filing due to various risks and uncertainties. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements, refer to Forward-Looking Statements below.
Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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 consolidated statements of operations, 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. For example, the discussion of our cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity; the discussion of our net sales includes net sales on a constant currency basis; the discussion of our net sales includes net sales excluding acquisitions; the discussion of our earnings includes a presentation of operating earnings and operating margin excluding restructuring, exit and impairment charges, purchase accounting amortization, acquisition-related costs, IT security incident costs and other applicable charges and of diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.
We include non-GAAP financial measures in Management's Discussion and Analysis as management believes these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view our performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate our ongoing business performance. In order to better align our reported results with the internal metrics management uses to evaluate business performance as well as to provide better comparisons to prior periods and peer data, non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to acquisitions, among other adjustments.
We do not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include restructuring, exit and impairment costs, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.
IT Security Incident
As previously announced on June 13, 2023, the Company experienced an IT security incident that impacted some of its systems and global facilities. Please refer to Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies for further details.
Change in Reportable Segments
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine P&A, Navico Group and Boat to align with its internal operating structure. For further information, refer to Note 9 – Segment Data in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Acquisitions
During the second quarter of 2022, we acquired certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights as well as certain marine assets in the Southeast United States for net cash consideration of $93.9 million. Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Overview
Net sales decreased 7 percent during the second quarter of 2023 when compared with the second quarter of 2022. Our Propulsion segment results were below initial expectations solely due to the lost production days resulting from the IT security incident. Prior to the disruption, our high-horsepower outboard engine production ramp up was progressing and has since resumed, allowing us to increase shipments to repower customers and original equipment manufacturing ("OEM") partners. Our Engine P&A segment performed as expected, excluding the impact of the IT security incident, reflecting anticipated sales and earnings declines versus a record second quarter of 2022. As anticipated, Navico Group posted lower second quarter sales versus 2022 as both marine and RV OEM orders slowed versus a record prior year quarter. Our Boat segment delivered a solid quarter with sales slightly below prior year. Our international net sales decreased 13 percent and 12 percent in the second quarter on a GAAP and constant currency basis, respectively.
Net sales decreased 2 percent during the first half of 2023, when compared with the first half of 2022, due to the same factors described above. Our international net sales decreased 8 percent and 5 percent in the first half on a GAAP and constant currency basis, respectively.
Operating earnings in the second quarter of 2023 were $194.4 million and $234.9 million on a GAAP and As Adjusted basis, respectively. This compares to operating earnings during the second quarter of 2022 of $279.0 million and $300.2 million on a GAAP and an As Adjusted basis, respectively.
Operating earnings in the first half of 2023 were $430.5 million and $497.3 million on a GAAP and As Adjusted basis, respectively. This compares to operating earnings during the first half of 2022 of $518.5 million and $567.7 million on a GAAP and an As Adjusted basis, respectively.
Matters Affecting Comparability
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 the U.S. dollar 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 24 percent of our annual net sales are transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Our most material exposures include sales in Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, and Brazilian real.
The table below summarizes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and also the impact of acquisitions on our net sales:

Gross margin decreased 150 basis points in the second quarter of 2023 when compared to the same prior year period, driven by higher manufacturing costs including material and labor inflation (270 bps), the IT security incident (110 bps), unfavorable timing of capitalized variances (70 bps), depreciation (50 bps) and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (40 bps), partially offset by sales-related drivers (380 bps) and acquisitions (10 bps).
Gross margin decreased 50 basis points in the first half of 2023 when compared to the same prior year period, driven by higher manufacturing costs including material and labor inflation (350 bps), the IT security incident (60 bps), depreciation (60 bps) and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (30 bps), partially offset by sales-related drivers (410 bps) and acquisitions (40 bps).
Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales increased 130 basis points during the second quarter of 2023 when compared with the same prior year period, due to lower sales and increased relative spending on sales and marketing (60 bps), information technology (40 bps) and variable compensation (30 bps). Research and development expense decreased in the second quarter of 2023 versus the same period in 2022.
Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales increased 110 basis points during the first half of 2023 when compared with the same prior year period, due to lower sales and increased relative spending on sales and marketing (60 bps), information technology (30 bps) and variable compensation (20 bps). Research and development expense decreased in the first half of 2023 versus the same period in 2022.
We recorded Restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $13.9 million and $23.4 million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. We did not recognize any Restructuring, exit and impairment charges during the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. Refer to Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
We recorded Equity earnings of $2.2 million and $4.4 million in the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively, which were mainly related to our marine and technology-related joint ventures. This compares with Equity earnings of $0.7 million and $1.5 million in the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively.
We recognized $1.8 million and $0.9 million in Other income (expense), net in the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively. This compares with $0.3 million and $(1.2) million recognized in Other income (expense), net in the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. Other income (expense), net primarily includes remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates and other postretirement benefit costs.
Net interest expense increased for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 when compared with the same prior year period due to an increase in average daily debt outstanding, which was influenced by the timing of debt issuances. Refer to Note 12 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 15 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Form 10-K.
28
We recognized an Income tax provision for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 of $36.3 million and $135.3 million, respectively, compared to $55.8 million and $102.2 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, respectively. The increase in the income tax provision for the six months ended July 1, 2023 is due to a discrete income tax expense recorded in connection with the intercompany sale of intellectual property rights in the first quarter of 2023.
The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the Income tax provision as a percentage of Earnings before income taxes, for the three and six months ended July 1, 2023 was 21.2 percent and 35.3 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 2, 2022 was 21.9 percent and 21.5 percent, respectively.
Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, Operating earnings, Net earnings from continuing operations, and Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations decreased during the second quarter and first half of 2023 when compared with the same prior year period.

Propulsion segment's net sales decreased $30.9 million, or 4 percent, in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 as benefits from pricing, favorable product mix related to continued strong high-horsepower outboard engine demand and higher sales to repower customers, were offset by the impact of production stoppages related to the IT security incident and planned reductions in lower horsepower outboard engine and sterndrive engine sales and production.
Propulsion segment's net sales increased $14.8 million, or 1 percent, in the first half of 2023 versus 2022 due to continued increased sales of high-horsepower outboard engines offsetting the negative factors described above.

Navico Group segment's net sales decreased $58.3 million, or 20 percent, in the second quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2022, driven by lower orders versus a very strong second quarter of 2022 together with the slow recovery of RV OEM production, which was partially offset by strong new product performance.
Navico Group segment's net sales decreased $92.6 million, or 16 percent, in the first half of 2023 versus prior year as a result of the same factors described above.

Boat segment's net sales decreased $7.6 million, or 1 percent, in the second quarter of 2023 versus the second quarter of 2022, due to the favorable impact of prior year pricing actions and favorable mix toward premium products being offset by the impact of lower value product shipments and higher discount levels.
Boat segment's net sales increased $74.8 million, or 7 percent, in the first half of 2023 due to positive mix and price and acquisitions.

Boat segment's operating earnings in the second quarter of 2023 were $53.2 million, a decrease of 10 percent when compared to the second quarter of 2022, driven by restructuring charges associated with actions executed in the quarter and the IT security incident, partially offset by share gains and sustained operational productivity gains. Operating earnings in the first half of 2023 were $111.0 million, an increase of 7 percent, as increased sales were partially offset by the negative factors above.

Corporate operating expenses in the second quarter of 2023 were $40.5 million, an increase of 35 percent when compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to increased spending on enterprise growth initiatives, the IT security incident and restructuring charges associated with actions executed in the quarter.

Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth an analysis of free cash flow for the six months ended:
| (in millions) | July 1, 2023 | July 2, 2022 | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations | $ | 254.4 | $ | 149.4 | |||||||

| Plus: Effect of exchange rate changes | 1.6 | (11.2) | |||||||||
Total free cash flow (A) | $ | 88.9 | $ | (55.3) | |||||||
(A) We define "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) 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. We use this financial measure both in presenting our results to shareholders and the investment community and in our internal evaluation and management of our businesses. We believe that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view our performance using the same tool that we use to gauge progress in achieving our goals. We believe 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.
Our 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, divestitures and borrowings. We evaluate potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.

2023 Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the six months ended July 1, 2023 totaled $254.4 million versus $149.4 million in the comparable period of 2022. The increase is primarily due to decreases in working capital usage, partially offset by lower net earnings. 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.
The primary drivers of net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the six months ended July 1, 2023 were net earnings, net of non-cash items, partially offset by seasonal increases in working capital. Accounts and notes receivable increased $69.0 million, primarily due to timing of sales. Inventory increased $22.0 million driven by seasonal inventory purchases and cost inflation. Accounts payable decreased $93.2 million, primarily due to timing of payments. Accrued expenses increased $16.1 million, primarily driven by increased expenses associated with restructuring actions executed during the year and the IT security incident.
Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations was $169.7 million, which included $173.4 million of capital expenditures and $6.4 million of investments in our joint venture, partially offset by $6.3 million of sales of property, plant and equipment and $3.8 million of sales or maturities of marketable securities. Our capital spending was focused on investments in capacity expansion, new products, and technologies.
Net cash used for financing activities was $204.0 million and primarily related to common stock repurchases and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.
2022 Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the first six months of 2022 totaled $149.4 million versus $350.5 million in the comparable period of 2021. The decrease is primarily due to increases in working capital, partially offset by higher net earnings during the quarter.
The primary drivers of net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the first six months of 2022 were net earnings, net of non-cash items, partially offset by increases in working capital. Accounts and notes receivable increased $125.1 million, primarily due to increased sales across all segments. Inventory increased $162.3 million, driven primarily by increases in work-in-process and raw materials to support higher production volumes. Accrued expenses decreased $30.9 million, primarily driven by payment of prior year variable compensation which had been accrued as of December 31, 2021.
Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations was $312.7 million, which included $196.5 million of capital expenditures, $95.7 million of cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired and $36.2 million of purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by $16.7 million of cross-currency swap settlements. Our capital spending was focused on investments in new products and technologies.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $388.9 million and primarily related to proceeds of issuances of long-term debt, partially offset by common stock repurchases, payments of long-term debt including current maturities, and cash dividends paid to common shareholders. Refer to Note 12 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our debt activity during the quarter.

(B) We define 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. We use this financial measure both in presenting our results to shareholders and the investment community and in our internal evaluation and management of our businesses. We believe that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view our performance using the same metric that we use to gauge progress in achieving our goals. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measure “Total liquidity” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of our available highly liquid assets and immediate sources of financing.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $478.3 million as of July 1, 2023, a decrease of $121.8 million from $600.1 million as of December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $125.4 million from $603.7 million as of July 2, 2022. Total debt as of July 1, 2023, December 31, 2022 and July 2, 2022 was $2,510.3 million, $2,509.0 million and $2,502.0 million, respectively. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 54 percent as of July 1, 2023, a decrease from 55 percent as of December 31, 2022 and from 56 percent as of July 2, 2022.
There were no borrowings under the Credit Facility during the six months ended July 1, 2023, and thus we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of July 1, 2023. Available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility totaled $741.9 million, net of $8.1 million of letters of credit outstanding. During the six months ended July 1, 2023, the maximum amount utilized under the CP Program was $100 million. Refer to Note 12 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 15 - Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2022 Form 10-K, for further details.
The levels of borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility and CP Program are limited by both a leverage and interest coverage test. These covenants also pertain to termination provisions included in our wholesale financing joint-venture arrangements with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance. Based on our anticipated earnings generation throughout the year, we expect to maintain sufficient cushion against the existing debt covenants.
2023 Capital Strategy
Our expected full-year capital expenditures remain at approximately $350 million and our estimate of full-year interest expense remains at approximately $100 million. We increased our anticipated share repurchases for 2023 to now exceed $250 million, lowering our expected average diluted shares outstanding for the year to 70.5 million shares. Additionally, our estimate of working capital usage remains at approximately $100 million for the year.
