Item 2.02.                      Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 30, 2014, Brunswick Corporation (“Brunswick”) announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2013. The news release issued by Brunswick announcing its fourth quarter and full-year 2013 earnings is incorporated herein by reference and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In the news release, Brunswick uses non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of SEC Regulation G, 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 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. Operating and statistical measures and certain ratios and other statistical measures are not non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Brunswick has used certain of the financial measures that are included in the news release for several years, both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Brunswick’s management believes that these measures (including those that are non-GAAP financial measures) and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tools that Brunswick uses and to better evaluate Brunswick’s ongoing business performance. Brunswick’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure "free cash flow" is useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives. Brunswick defines free cash flow as cash flow from operating and investing activities (excluding cash provided by or used for acquisitions, investments, reductions in restricted cash or purchases or sales of marketable securities). The measure "diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations, as adjusted" is also believed to be useful to investors because it represents a measure of Brunswick’s earnings, without the impact of the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowance reserves, restructuring, exit and impairment charges, loss on early extinguishment of debt, special tax items and the results of discontinued operations.  Brunswick defines diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations, as adjusted, as diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations, excluding the earnings per share impact of the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowance reserves, restructuring, exit and impairment charges, as well as the loss on early extinguishment of debt, special tax items and the results of discontinued operations.  Additionally, Brunswick’s management believes that the measure “net debt” is useful to investors because it is an indication of Brunswick’s ability to repay its outstanding debt using its current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.  Brunswick defines net debt as the sum of short-term and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments in marketable securities and long-term investments in marketable securities as presented in its condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finally, Brunswick’s management believes that the measures "adjusted operating earnings" and "adjusted earnings before income taxes" are useful to investors because they provide a necessary and important perspective on Brunswick's operating performance and improves comparability of performance against prior periods. Brunswick defines adjusted operating earnings as operating earnings, excluding the earnings impact for restructuring, exit and impairment charges, and defines adjusted earnings before income taxes as earnings before income taxes, excluding the earnings impact for restructuring, exit and impairment charges, as well as the loss on early extinguishment of debt.
 
The information in this report and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Brunswick Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Results
Full-Year Results: 5% Growth in Revenue and 27% Growth in Pretax Earnings
2014 Guidance: Growth in Revenue of 5% to 7% and Growth in Adjusted Pretax Earnings of 24% to 30%


LAKE FOREST, Ill., Jan. 30, 2014 -- Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2013.

2013 Full-Year Highlights:
Net sales increased 5 percent versus 2012.
Gross margin was 70 basis points higher than prior year.
Adjusted operating earnings increased 12 percent from 2012. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings were up 15 percent.
GAAP and adjusted pretax earnings increased by 27 percent versus 2012.
Diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, of $2.73, increased $0.64 versus the same period of 2012. On a GAAP basis, $8.26 per diluted share, reflected the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowance reserves of $6.39 per share.

“Our results in 2013 represent the fourth consecutive year of strong improvements in earnings,” said Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dustan E. McCoy. “Operating earnings, pretax earnings and diluted earnings per common share, all on an as adjusted basis, increased by 12 percent, 27 percent, and 31 percent, respectively, for the year. Sales increased by 5 percent, which is at the high-end of our initial growth target for the year.






“Our 2013 gross margin of 26.1 percent reflects an increase of 70 basis points from the prior year and represents the highest annual level achieved since 2000. Operating expenses increased by 5 percent, due to higher research and development expense and other growth-related investments primarily associated with company-wide strategic initiatives. Lower net interest expense and a reduced effective tax rate (excluding the impact of restructuring charges, losses on early extinguishment of debt, reversal of deferred tax valuation allowance reserves and special tax items) also contributed to our higher diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted,” McCoy added.

“Higher earnings generated solid free cash flow, leading to significant progress in further strengthening our balance sheet. We reduced debt balances by $112 million during the year, lowering net interest expense by approximately $23 million.

“Our 2013 results were outstanding and are the result of strong execution of our business strategy by our 16,000 global employees. With our ability to successfully execute, we not only produced excellent results, but we also continue to create a solid platform for continued improvement in future financial results,” McCoy concluded.

At the beginning of 2013, the Company announced its intention to exit its Hatteras and CABO boat businesses. On Aug. 5, 2013, the Company completed that sale. The results of these businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this release and all figures reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is provided in the supplemental information sections of the condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this release.

2013 Full-Year Results
For the year ended Dec. 31, 2013, the Company reported net sales of $3,887.5 million, up from $3,717.6 million in 2012. For the year, operating earnings were $304.2 million, which included $21.4 million of restructuring, exit and impairment charges. In 2012, the Company reported operating earnings of $264.1 million, which included $25.8 million of restructuring, exit and impairment charges.






For 2013, the Company reported net earnings of $775.2 million, or $8.26 per diluted share, compared with net earnings of $147.4 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, for 2012. The diluted earnings per share for 2013 included the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowance reserves of $6.39 per diluted share; restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $0.22 per diluted share; losses on early extinguishment of debt of $0.32 per diluted share and a $0.32 per diluted share charge from special tax items. The earnings per diluted share for 2012 included $0.28 per diluted share of restructuring, exit and impairment charges, $0.18 per diluted share of losses on early extinguishment of debt and a $0.04 per diluted share charge from special tax items.

Fourth Quarter Highlights:        
Net sales increased 9 percent versus fourth quarter 2012.
Gross margin was 90 basis points higher than prior year.
Adjusted operating earnings increased $5.2 million, or 30 percent from fourth quarter 2012. On a GAAP basis, operating earnings were up $7.0 million.
Diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, of $0.15, increased $0.13 versus the same period of 2012. On a GAAP basis, $6.18 per diluted share, reflected the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowance reserves of $6.35 per share.

Fourth Quarter Results
For the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company reported net sales of $901.5 million, up from $829.8 million a year earlier. For the quarter, the Company reported operating earnings of $14.0 million, which included $8.7 million of restructuring, exit and impairment charges. In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company had operating earnings of $7.0 million, which included $10.5 million of restructuring, exit and impairment charges.

For the fourth quarter of 2013, Brunswick reported net earnings of $583.6 million, or $6.18 per diluted share, compared with a net loss from continuing operations of $16.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. The diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2013 included a reversal of deferred tax valuation allowance reserves of $6.35 per diluted share, $0.09 per diluted share of restructuring, exit and impairment charges, $0.01 per diluted share for losses on early extinguishment of debt and a $0.22 per diluted share charge from special tax items. The diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2012 included $0.11 per diluted share of restructuring, exit and impairment charges, $0.05 per diluted share of





losses on early extinguishment of debt and a $0.04 per diluted share charge from special tax items.

Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash and marketable securities totaled $369.2 million at the end of 2013, down $59.5 million from year-end 2012 levels. This decrease reflects net cash used for financing activities of $116.5 million, which was primarily related to debt reduction activities. This activity was partially funded by free cash flow of $75.9 million.

Net debt (defined as total debt, less cash and marketable securities) at the end of the 2013 was $90.6 million, a decrease of $52.5 million from year-end 2012 levels.

Marine Engine Segment
The Marine Engine segment, consisting of the Mercury Marine Group, including the marine parts and accessories businesses, reported net sales of $423.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 5 percent from $404.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. International sales, which represented 40 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, decreased by 4 percent. For the quarter, the Marine Engine segment reported operating earnings of $18.1 million. This compares with operating earnings of $16.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, which included $1.2 million of restructuring charges.

Sales increases in the quarter were led by the segment’s outboard engines and parts and accessories businesses, partially offset by declines in sales of sterndrive engines. The improvement in operating earnings is a result of higher sales and lower restructuring charges, partially offset by an increase in investment spending to support long-term growth.

Boat Segment
The Boat segment is comprised of the Brunswick Boat Group, and includes 14 boat brands. The Boat segment reported net sales of $239.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, an increase of 16 percent compared with $206.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. International sales, which represented 40 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, increased by 15 percent during the period. For the fourth quarter of 2013, the Boat segment reported an operating loss of $21.9 million, including restructuring charges of $5.8 million. This compares with an operating loss of $33.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, including restructuring charges of $8.9 million.






The growth in sales resulted mainly from wholesale shipment increases in the segment’s outboard boat categories and smaller fiberglass sterndrive/inboard boats, as well as growth in South America. The improvement in the segment’s operating loss was a result of higher sales, successful cost reduction activities and lower restructuring charges, partially offset by an increase in investment spending to support long-term growth.

Fitness Segment
The Fitness segment is comprised of the Life Fitness Division, which designs, manufactures, and sells Life Fitness and Hammer Strength fitness equipment. Fitness segment sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $210.6 million, up 15 percent from $183.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. International sales, which represented
45 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, increased by 9 percent. For the quarter, the Fitness segment reported operating earnings of $35.5 million. This compares with operating earnings of $36.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The increase in revenue reflected strong growth in sales to U.S. health club and hospitality customers, partially offset by the negative impact of lower sales to local and federal government customers. The increase also includes strong gains in Europe. The decrease in operating earnings in the fourth quarter of 2013, when compared with 2012, reflects the benefit from higher sales, which was more than offset by investment spending on growth initiatives and a lower gross margin.

Bowling & Billiards Segment
The Bowling & Billiards segment is comprised of Brunswick retail bowling centers, bowling equipment and products, and billiards tables and accessories. Segment sales in the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $81.3 million, down 5 percent compared with $85.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. International sales, which represented 17 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, decreased by 24 percent. For the quarter, the segment reported operating earnings of $7.0 million, including restructuring charges of $2.9 million. This compares with operating earnings of $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012, which included $0.4 million of restructuring charges.

The reduction in revenues reflects an increase in U.S. equivalent retail center sales, which was more than offset by a reduced number of global retail bowling centers, as well as a decrease in sales in bowling products. The decrease in operating earnings in the fourth quarter of 2013,





when compared with 2012, was due to higher restructuring charges, lower sales and increased investments for long-term growth, partially offset by improvements in cost efficiencies.

2014 Outlook
“Our outlook and financial targets for 2014 are consistent with the three-year strategic plan outlined in November 2013 at our New York investor day event,” McCoy said. “In 2014, we are targeting 5 percent to 7 percent sales growth. This improvement in our top-line growth rate results from our increasing investment in growth initiatives in all our businesses and is supported by the continuation of the solid growth demonstrated in 2013.

“Our 2014 targets and plans are based on global economic conditions that are generally comparable to 2013, with weakness continuing in certain regions in Europe. As a result, we expect to benefit from the continuation of the modest recovery in the global marine market, with solid growth in outboard boat and engine products, as well as in the global parts and accessories marketplace. In the fiberglass sterndrive/inboard boat category, which also affects sterndrive/inboard engine production, we are currently planning for a modestly declining market, with stability in large boats.

“We believe that our Fitness segment should continue to benefit from favorable health and fitness trends, as well as solid growth rates in global health club and hospitality businesses. These market conditions, combined with exciting new products, have positioned our Fitness business to continue to deliver excellent results and support our increased level of investment spending. Our bowling business should perform well in a stable market and will focus its efforts on providing new and innovative concepts and products to consumers and operators,” McCoy continued.

“Against the backdrop of our revenue targets, our plan reflects solid improvement in gross margin levels. Our organic growth platform will continue to benefit from increased investments in capital projects and research and development programs, along with the SG&A to support them. As a result of these ongoing initiatives, operating expenses are estimated to increase in 2014, however, on a percentage of sales basis, are expected to be at slightly lower levels than 2013.

“For the full year, we expect to generate positive free cash flow in the range of $150 million to $175 million, in spite of increasing levels of investment spending. Also, due to our strong free





cash flow, combined with the debt reduction already achieved, 2014 net interest expense should be lower than 2013 by approximately $10 million to $12 million.

“As we have been projecting for two years, our effective book tax rate will increase to an estimated 34 percent in 2014. As a result of this significant increase in the effective book tax rate, 2014 diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, is estimated to be in the range of $2.40 to $2.55. Our guidance continues to reflect another year of strong growth in adjusted operating earnings, as well as adjusted pretax earnings growth of
24 percent to 30 percent,” McCoy concluded.
