PART I

Item 1. Business

Brunswick Corporation is a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 31, 1907. We are a leading global designer, manufacturer, and marketer of recreation products including marine engines, boats, fitness equipment, and active recreation products. Our engine-related products include: outboard, sterndrive, and inboard engines; trolling motors; propellers; engine control systems; and marine parts and accessories. We make fiberglass pleasure, sport cruiser, sport fishing and center-console, offshore fishing, aluminum and fiberglass fishing, pontoon, utility, deck, inflatable, and heavy-gauge aluminum boats. Our fitness products include cardiovascular and strength training equipment for both the commercial and consumer markets. We also sell products for active aging and rehabilitation, a complete line of billiards tables, and other game room tables and accessories.

In 2017, we continued to successfully execute our growth strategy, investing in new products as well as productivity and efficiency initiatives. We expect to continue our focus on growth in 2018, emphasizing continued product leadership, targeted acquisitions, and other growth-related investments, including using digital technology to improve service offerings. In the longer term, our strategy remains consistent: to design, develop, and introduce high-quality products featuring innovative technology and styling; to distribute products through a model that benefits our partners - dealers and distributors; to provide world-class service to our customers; to develop and maintain low-cost manufacturing processes, and to continually improve productivity and efficiency; to manufacture and distribute products globally with local and regional styling; to continue implementing our capital strategy, which includes maintaining strong cash and liquidity positions, allocating capital to organic growth initiatives and strategic acquisition opportunities, funding pension obligations, and continuing to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases; and to attract and retain skilled employees. These strategic objectives support our plans to grow by expanding our existing businesses. Our primary objective is to enhance shareholder value by achieving returns on investments that exceed our cost of capital.

Refer to Note 6 –Segment Information and Note 2 –Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our segments and discontinued operations, including net sales, operating earnings, and total assets by segment.

Marine Engine Segment

The Marine Engine segment, which had net sales of $2,631.8 million in 2017, consists of the Mercury Marine Group (Mercury Marine). We believe our Marine Engine segment is a world leader in the manufacturing and sale of recreational marine engines and marine parts and accessories.

Mercury Marine manufactures and markets a full range of outboard, sterndrive, and inboard engine and propulsion systems under, among other brand names, the Mercury, Mercury MerCruiser, Mariner, Mercury Racing, and Mercury Diesel brands. In addition, Mercury Marine manufactures and markets parts and accessories under the Quicksilver, Mercury Precision Parts, Mercury Propellers, Attwood, Garelick, Whale, BLA, FulTyme RV, Talamex, Besto, Seachoice, and MotorGuide brand names, including marine electronics and control integration systems, steering systems, instruments, controls, propellers, trolling motors, fuel systems, service parts, and lubricants. Mercury Marine supplies integrated, high-speed diesel propulsion systems to the worldwide recreational and commercial marine markets. To promote advanced propulsion systems with improved handling, performance, and efficiency, Mercury Marine also manufactures and markets advanced boat steering and engine control systems.

Mercury Marine's outboard, sterndrive, and inboard engines are sold to independent boat builders, local, state, and foreign governments, and to Brunswick's Boat segment. In addition, Mercury Marine sells outboard engines through a global network of more than 6,000 marine dealers and distributors, specialty marine retailers, and marine service centers. White River Marine Group, LLC and its subsidiaries (including Tracker and Ranger Boats) is Mercury Marine’s most significant external customer.

Mercury Marine manufactures four-stroke outboard engine models ranging from 2.5 to 400 horsepower and two-stroke OptiMax outboard engines, all of which feature Mercury's direct fuel injection (DFI) technology, ranging from 150 to 300 horsepower. All of these low-emission engines are in compliance with applicable U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements. Mercury Marine's four-stroke outboard engines include Verado, a collection of supercharged outboards ranging from 175 to 400 horsepower, and Mercury Marine's naturally aspirated four-stroke outboards, ranging from 2.5 to 150 horsepower. Mercury Marine and Mercury Racing manufacture inboard and sterndrive engine models ranging from 115 to 1,750 horsepower. Mercury Marine also manufactures two-stroke, non-DFI engines for certain markets outside the United States. In addition, most of Mercury's sterndrive and inboard engines are now available with catalyst exhaust treatment and monitoring systems, and all are compliant with applicable U.S. state and federal environmental regulations. Mercury also makes engines that comply with global emissions and noise regulations.

1

Mercury continues to develop and integrate innovative technology to enhance the boating experience, including through Mercury VesselView and VesselView Mobile, a connected propulsion system and mobile application that allow customers to display engine information, speed, trim, and more, joystick controls for multi-engine boats, and Active Trim, an intuitive, hands-free system that continually adjusts engine trim based on changes in boat speed to improve performance, fuel economy, and ease of operation.

Mercury Marine produces its gasoline sterndrive and outboard engines domestically in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, with outboard engines also produced internationally in China and Japan. Mercury Marine manufactures 40, 50 and 60 horsepower four-stroke outboard engines in a facility in China, and produces smaller outboard engines in Japan pursuant to a joint venture with its partner, Tohatsu Corporation. Mercury Marine sources engine components from a global supply base and manufactures additional engine component parts at its Fond du Lac facility and plants in Florida and Mexico. Mercury Marine also operates a remanufacturing business for engines and service parts in Wisconsin. In addition, Mercury Marine has an equity ownership interest in Bella-Veneet Oy, which manufactures boats under the brand names Bella, Flipper, and Aquador in Finland.  

For the seventh consecutive year, the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council awarded Mercury a “Green Masters” designation, a program measuring a broad range of sustainability issues ranging from energy and water conservation to waste management, community outreach, and education. The designation highlights Mercury's commitment to sustainability as discussed in its 2017 Sustainability Report, detailing specific goals related to energy, environment, products, and people, all of which goals Mercury has met or exceeded. In addition to its fuel-efficient products, water, and energy conservation programs, Mercury installed a new solar panel roof at its European headquarters located in Petit-Rechain, Belgium, in 2017. 

Mercury's parts and accessories distribution and products businesses include: Land 'N' Sea, Kellogg Marine Supply, Lankhorst Taselaar, Payne's Marine, BLA, Attwood, Garelick Mfg. Co., and Whale. These businesses are leading manufacturers and distributors of marine parts and accessories throughout North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, offering same-day or next-day delivery service to a broad array of marine service facilities.

On September 1, 2017, Brunswick acquired 100 percent of Lankhorst Taselaar B.V. (Lankhorst Taselaar), a leading marine parts and accessories distribution company based in the Netherlands and Germany. The acquisition augments the marine parts and accessories businesses through a broader product line and an expanded distribution network.

Intercompany sales to Brunswick's Boat segment represented approximately 10 percent of Mercury Marine's sales in 2017. Domestic demand for the Marine Engine segment's products is seasonal, with sales generally highest in the second calendar quarter of the year.

Boat Segment

The Boat segment consists of the Brunswick Boat Group (Boat Group), which manufactures and markets the following types of boats: fiberglass pleasure, sport cruiser, sport fishing and center-console, offshore fishing, aluminum and fiberglass fishing, pontoon, utility, deck, inflatable, and heavy-gauge aluminum. We believe that the Boat Group, which had net sales of $1,103.0 million during 2017, is a world leader in the manufacturing and sale of pleasure motorboats.

The Boat Group manages Brunswick's boat brands; evaluates and optimizes the Boat segment's boat portfolio; promotes recreational boating services and activities to enhance the consumer experience and dealer profitability; and speeds the introduction of new technologies into boat manufacturing and design processes.

The Boat Group includes the following boat brands: 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; and Thunder Jet heavy-gauge aluminum boats. The Boat Group also includes a commercial and governmental sales unit that sells products to commercial customers, as well as to the United States government and state, local, and foreign governments. The Boat Group procures most of its outboard engines, gasoline sterndrive engines, and gasoline inboard engines from Brunswick's Marine Engine segment.

The Boat Group also includes several Brunswick boat brands based in Europe and Asia-Pacific, such as Quicksilver, Uttern, and Rayglass (including Protector and Legend), which are typically equipped with Mercury Marine engines and often include other parts and accessories supplied by Mercury Marine.

The Boat Group operates manufacturing facilities in Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Washington, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and Portugal, and owns an inactive manufacturing facility in North Carolina. The Boat Group utilizes several

2

contract manufacturing facilities in Poland and Croatia.

The Boat Group sells its products through a global network of more than 2,000 dealers and distributors, with some dealer locations carrying more than one of Brunswick's boat brands. Sales to the Boat Group's largest dealer, MarineMax, Inc., which has multiple locations and carries a number of the Boat Group's product lines, represented approximately 16 percent of Boat Group sales in 2017. Domestic demand for pleasure boats is seasonal, with sales generally highest in the second calendar quarter of the year.

Fitness Segment

Our Fitness segment is comprised of the Fitness division (Fitness), which designs, manufactures, and markets a full line of reliable, high-quality cardiovascular fitness equipment (including treadmills, total body cross-trainers, stair climbers, and stationary exercise bicycles) and strength-training equipment under the Life Fitness, Hammer Strength, Cybex, Indoor Cycling Group, and SCIFIT brands. The Fitness segment also includes our active recreation business, including billiards tables, accessories, and game room furniture.

We believe that our Fitness segment, which had net sales of $1,033.7 million during 2017, is the world's largest manufacturer of commercial fitness equipment and a leading manufacturer of high-quality consumer fitness equipment. Fitness' commercial customers include health clubs, corporations, schools and universities, hotels, professional and collegiate sports teams, retirement and assisted living facilities, and the military and governmental agencies. Planet Fitness Inc. is the segment's most significant customer. Fitness makes commercial sales through its direct sales force, domestic dealers, and international distributors. Consumer products are available at specialty retailers, select mass merchants, sporting goods stores, through international distributors, and on the Life Fitness website.

The billiards business was established in 1845 and is Brunswick's heritage business. The billiards business designs and markets billiards tables, table tennis tables, and Air Hockey tables, as well as game room furniture and related accessories, under the Brunswick and Contender brands.

The Fitness segment's principal manufacturing facilities are located in Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Hungary, with principal third party contract manufacturing partners in China and Taiwan. Fitness distributes its products worldwide from regional warehouses and production facilities. Demand for Fitness products is seasonal, with sales generally highest in the fourth quarter of the year.

Discontinued Operations

On December 5, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Sea Ray businesses, including the Meridian brand, as a result of, among other things, a change in strategic direction and a review of the expected future cash flows, market conditions, and business trends. As a result, these businesses, which were previously reported in the Company's Boat segment, are being reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

On July 17, 2014, we entered into an agreement to sell our retail bowling business to AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. (AMF). In connection with our decision to sell the bowling centers, we also announced our intention to divest our bowling products business. The billiards business, which was previously reported in the Bowling & Billiards segment, remains part of the Company and is being reported in the Fitness segment for all periods presented. On September 18, 2014, we completed the sale of our retail bowling business to AMF. On May 22, 2015, we completed the sale of our bowling products business to BlueArc Capital Management L.L.C. As a result of these actions, these businesses, which were previously recorded in the Bowling & Billiards segment, are reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

We do not have or anticipate having any significant continuing involvement or continuing cash flows associated with these businesses. Refer to Note 2 –Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding discontinued operations.

Financial Services

Through our Brunswick Financial Services Corporation subsidiary, we own a 49 percent interest in a joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC). Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, BAC provides secured wholesale inventory floorplan financing to our boat and engine dealers. A subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company owns the remaining 51 percent.

Effective July 31, 2015, the joint venture was extended through December 31, 2019. The joint venture agreement contains provisions allowing for the renewal of the agreement or purchase of the other party's interest in the joint venture at the end of its term. Alternatively, either partner may terminate the agreement at the end of its term. In June 2016, the parties amended the joint venture agreement to adjust a financial covenant that was conformed to the maximum leverage ratio test contained in our revolving credit facility described in Note 16 –Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additionally, we offer financial services through Brunswick Product Protection Corporation, which provides marine dealers the opportunity to offer extended product warranties to retail customers, and through Blue Water Dealer Services, Inc., which provides retail financial services to marine dealers. Each company allows us to offer a more complete line of financial services to our boat and marine engine dealers and their customers.

Refer to Note 10 –Financial Services in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our financial services.

Distribution

We utilize independent distributors, dealers, and retailers (Dealers) for the majority of our boat sales and significant portions of our sales of marine engine, fitness, and billiards products. We have over 16,000 Dealers serving our business segments worldwide. Our marine Dealers typically carry one or more of the following product categories: boats, engines, and related parts and accessories.

We own Land 'N' Sea, Kellogg Marine Supply, and Payne's Marine Group, which comprise the primary parts and accessories distribution platforms for our Marine Engine segment in North America. We believe that these businesses, collectively, are the leading distributors of marine parts and accessories throughout North America, with 20 distribution warehouses located throughout the United States and Canada offering same-day or next-day delivery service to a broad array of marine service facilities and Dealers. We also believe we are the leading parts and accessories distributor in the Asia-Pacific region.

Our Dealers are independent companies or proprietors that range in size from small, family-owned businesses to a large, publicly-traded corporation with substantial revenues and multiple locations. Some Dealers sell our products exclusively, while a majority also carry competitors' and complementary products. We partner with our boat dealer network to improve quality, service, distribution, and delivery of parts and accessories to enhance the boating customer's experience.

Demand for a significant portion of our products is seasonal, and a number of our Dealers are relatively small and/or highly-leveraged. As a result, many Dealers secure floor plan financing from BAC or other third party finance companies, enabling them to provide stable channels for our products. In addition to the financing BAC offers, we may also provide our Dealers with incentive programs, loan guarantees, inventory repurchase commitments, and financing receivable arrangements, under which we are obligated to repurchase inventory or receivables from a finance company in the event of a Dealer's default. We believe that these arrangements are in our best interest; however, these arrangements expose us to credit and business risk. Our business units, along with BAC, maintain active credit operations to manage this financial exposure, and we continually seek opportunities to sustain and improve the financial health of our various distribution channel partners. Refer to Note 8 –Financing Receivables and Note 13 –Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these arrangements.

Technology

As part of our continuing effort to provide customer value, Brunswick has invested in a variety of technology solutions to further improve customer interaction with our products. In 2017, we entered into a joint venture with TechNexus Holdings, LLC to identify and incubate innovative start-up ventures with strategic marine and fitness applications to help drive long-term growth. In addition, in 2018 we launched Nautic-ON, a smart technology and service system that helps boaters stay connected with their boats remotely, monitoring engine status, battery and bilge pump, and other advanced features.

Fitness is focused on allowing digital partners to become a key part of the fitness ecosystem, as well as the development of digital solutions focused on driving improved customer outcomes and creating business intelligence, personalized experiences,

4

and commercial impact. Technology within the Fitness segment includes the LFconnect mobile application, which allows smart devices to interact with compatible Life Fitness equipment and track progress, personalize workouts, and provide motivation and engagement.

International Operations

Non-U.S. sales are set forth in Note 6 –Segment Informationin the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and are also included in the table below, which details our non-U.S. sales by region:

(in millions)	2017			2016			2015

Total	$	1,537.1		$	1,391.7		$	1,305.4
Total International Sales as a Percentage of Net Sales	34		%	34		%	35		%

We transact a portion of our sales in non-U.S. markets in local currencies, while a meaningful portion of our product costs are denominated in U.S. dollars as a result of our U.S. manufacturing operations. As a result, the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar affects the financial results of our non-U.S. operations.

Marine Engine segment non-U.S. sales represented approximately 50percent of our non-U.S. sales in 2017. The segment's principal non-U.S. operations include the following:

• Distribution, sales, service, and applications engineering offices in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Singapore;

• Sales or representative offices in Dubai, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and Switzerland;

•     A component manufacturing facility in Mexico;

• An outboard engine assembly plant in Suzhou, China;

•     An outboard engine assembly plant operated by a joint venture in Japan; and

• A parts and accessories manufacturing facility in Northern Ireland.

Boat segment non-U.S. sales comprised approximately 19 percent of our non-U.S. sales in 2017. The Boat Group manufactures or assembles a portion of its products in Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and Portugal, as well as in boat plants owned and operated by third parties in Croatia and Poland that perform contract manufacturing for us, which are sold mostly in international markets through Dealers. The Boat Group has sales or import offices in Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, and Sweden.

Fitness segment non-U.S. sales comprised approximately 31percent of our non-U.S. sales in 2017. Fitness sells its products worldwide and has sales and distribution centers in Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The Fitness segment manufactures strength-training equipment and select lines of cardiovascular equipment in Hungary for its international markets, and has relationships with third-party contract manufacturing partners in China and Taiwan.

Raw Materials and Supplies

We purchase a wide variety of raw materials from our supplier base, including commodities such as aluminum, resins, oil, and steel, as well as product parts and components, such as engine blocks and boat windshields. The prices for these raw materials, parts, and components fluctuate depending on market conditions. Significant increases in the cost of such materials would raise our production costs, which could reduce profitability if we did not recoup the increased costs through higher product prices.

As our manufacturing operations continued to raise production levels in 2017, our need for raw materials and supplies also increased. During 2017, we experienced some shortages or delayed delivery of certain materials, parts, and supplies essential to our manufacturing operations, although such shortages did not materially impact operations. We have addressed and will continue to address this issue by identifying alternative suppliers, working to secure adequate inventories of critical supplies, and continually monitoring the capabilities of our supplier base. In 2018, we anticipate our suppliers will need to increase their manufacturing capacity and investments to meet the rising demand for their products and, in many cases, may need to hire additional workers in order to fulfill the orders placed by us and other customers.

5

We also continue to expand our global procurement operations to better leverage purchasing power across our divisions and to improve supply chain and cost efficiencies. We mitigate commodity price risk on certain raw material purchases by entering into fixed priced contracts or derivatives to mitigate exposure related to changes in commodity prices.

Intellectual Property

We have, and continue to obtain, patent rights covering certain features of our products and processes. By law, our patent rights, which consist of patents and patent licenses, have limited lives and expire periodically. We believe that our patent rights are important to our competitive position in all of our business segments. Our trademark rights have indefinite lives, and many are well known to the public and are considered to be valuable assets. Most of our intellectual property is owned by U.S. entities.

In the Marine Engine segment, patent rights principally relate to features of outboard engines and inboard-outboard drives, hybrid drives, and pod drives, including: die-cast powerheads; cooling and exhaust systems; drivetrain, clutch, and gearshift mechanisms; boat/engine mountings; shock-absorbing tilt mechanisms; ignition systems; propellers; marine vessel control systems; fuel and oil injection systems; supercharged engines; outboard mid-section structures; segmented cowls; hydraulic trim, tilt and steering; screw compressor charge air cooling systems; a range of proprietary metal alloys; and airflow silencers.

In the Boat segment, patent rights principally relate to processes for manufacturing fiberglass hulls, decks, and components for boat products, as well as patent rights related to boat features and components.

In the Fitness segment, patent rights principally relate to fitness equipment designs and components, including patents covering internal processes, programming functions, displays, design features and styling, as well as billiards table designs and components.

The following are our principal trademarks:

Marine Engine Segment: Attwood, Axius, FulTyme RV, Garelick, Kellogg Marine Supply, Land 'N' Sea, Mariner, MerCruiser, Mercury, Mercury Marine, Mercury Precision Parts, Mercury Propellers, Mercury Racing, MotorGuide, OptiMax, Quicksilver, Seachoice, SeaPro, SmartCraft, Sport-Jet, Swivl-Eze, Talamex, Valiant, Verado, Whale, and Zeus.

Boat Segment: Bayliner, Boston Whaler, Crestliner, Cypress Cay, Harris, Heyday, Lowe, Lund, Master Dealer, Meridian, Princecraft, Protector, Quicksilver, Rayglass, Sea Ray, Thunder Jet, and Uttern.

Fitness Segment: Air Hockey, Brunswick, Contender, Cybex, Flex Deck, Gold Crown, Hammer Strength, Indoor Cycling Group, Lifecycle, Life Fitness, and SCIFIT.

Competitive Conditions and Position

We believe that we have a reputation for quality in each of our highly competitive lines of business. We compete in various markets by: utilizing efficient production techniques; developing and strengthening our leading brands; developing and promoting innovative technological advancements; undertaking effective marketing, advertising, and sales efforts; providing high-quality, innovative products at competitive prices; and offering extensive aftermarket products.

Strong competition exists in each of our product groups, but no single enterprise competes with us in all product groups. In each product area, competitors range in size from large, highly-diversified companies to small, single-product businesses. We also indirectly compete with businesses that offer alternative leisure products or activities.

 The following summarizes our competitive position in each segment:

Marine Engine Segment: We believe the Marine Engine segment is a world leader in the manufacture and sale of recreational and commercial marine engines and marine parts and accessories. The marine engine market is highly competitive among several major international companies that comprise the majority of the market, including Japanese-based outboard engine manufacturers, as well as several smaller companies including Chinese manufacturers. Competitive advantage in this segment is a function of product features, technological leadership, quality, service, pricing, performance, manufacturing capabilities, depth of product portfolio, intuitive product controls, and durability, along with effective promotion and distribution.

Boat Segment: We believe that the Boat segment is a world leader in the manufacture and sale of pleasure motorboats. There are several major manufacturers of pleasure and offshore fishing boats, along with hundreds of smaller manufacturers.

6

Consequently, this business is both highly competitive and highly fragmented. In all of our boat operations, we compete on the basis of product features, technology, quality, brand strength, dealer service, pricing, performance, value, durability and styling, along with effective promotion and distribution.

Fitness Segment: We believe we are the world's largest manufacturer of commercial fitness equipment and a leading manufacturer of high-quality consumer fitness equipment and billiards tables. The fitness equipment industry is highly competitive among several major international companies that comprise the majority of the market, as well as many smaller manufacturers, which creates a highly fragmented, competitive landscape. Many of our fitness equipment offerings include industry-leading product features, and we place significant emphasis on introducing innovative fitness equipment to the market. Competitive focus is also placed on product quality, technology, service, pricing, state-of-the-art biomechanics, connectivity and customer solutions, and effective promotional activities. The billiards industry continues to experience competitive pressure from low-cost billiards manufacturers outside the United States.

Research and Development

We strive to improve our competitive position in all of our segments by continuously investing in research and development to drive innovation in our products and manufacturing technologies. Our research and development investments support the introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products. Research and development expenses were 3.1 percent, 3.2 percent and 3.0 percent of net sales in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Research and development expenses by segment are discussed in Note 6 –Segment Information.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

The Company's operations and financial results are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described below, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock.

Worldwide economic conditions significantly affect our industries and businesses, and economic decline can materially impact our financial results.

In times of economic uncertainty and contraction, consumers tend to have less discretionary income and to defer expenditures for discretionary items, which adversely affects our financial performance, especially in the marine businesses.  Although we have expanded the portions of our portfolio that are less susceptible to economic cycles, a portion of the business remains cyclical and sensitive to personal spending levels. Although general economic conditions in certain international markets, including Latin America and Canada, are improving, they continue to be challenging with respect to weak currencies and commodity market impacts.

Deterioration in general economic conditions that in turn diminishes consumer confidence or discretionary income may reduce our sales, or we may decide to lower pricing for our products, thus adversely affecting our financial results, including increasing the potential for future impairment charges. Further, most of our products are used for recreation, and consumers’ limited discretionary income in times of economic hardship may be diverted to other activities that occupy their time, such as other forms of recreation, religious, cultural, or community activities. We cannot predict the timing or continued strength of global economies, either worldwide or in the specific markets in which we compete.

Failure to successfully implement our strategic plan and growth initiatives could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our ability to continue generating strong cash flow and profits depends partly on the sustained successful execution of our strategic plan and growth initiatives, including optimizing our business portfolio, making acquisitions, and expanding into new adjacent markets and customers. To address risks associated with our plan and growth initiatives, we have established processes to regularly review, manage, and modify our plans, and we believe we have appropriate oversight to monitor initiatives and their impact. Our strategic plan and growth initiatives require significant capital investment and management attention, however, which could result in the diversion of these resources from the core business and other business issues and opportunities. Additionally, any new initiative is subject to certain risks, including customer acceptance, competition, the ability to manufacture products on schedule and to specification, the ability to create the necessary supply chain, and/or the ability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel. There is no assurance that we will be able to develop and successfully implement our strategic plan and growth initiatives in a manner that achieves our strategic objectives.

An inability to make targeted acquisitions or failure to successfully integrate newly acquired businesses could negatively impact financial results.

Our growth initiatives include making strategic acquisitions, which depend on the availability of suitable targets at acceptable terms and our ability to complete the deals. In order to manage our acquisition strategy, we conduct rigorous due diligence, involve various functions, and continually review our strategy and target acquisitions, all of which we believe mitigates our acquisition risks. However, we cannot assure that acquisitions will be consummated or that, if consummated, they will be successful. 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. As we continue to grow, in part, through acquisitions, our success depends on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these risks. If acquired businesses do not achieve projected results, our growth may be limited and our results adversely affected.

In addition, acquisitions present integration risks, including that the acquisition may:

• disrupt operations in core, adjacent, or acquired businesses;

• require more time than anticipated to be fully integrated into Company operations and systems;

• create more costs than projected;

• divert management attention;

• create the potential of losing customer, supplier, or other critical business relationships; and

• pose difficulties retaining employees.

If we fail to timely and successfully integrate new businesses into existing operations, we may see higher production costs, lost sales or otherwise diminished earnings and financial results.

8

There can be no assurance that strategic divestitures will provide business benefits.

As part of our strategy, we continuously evaluate our portfolio of businesses. We have previously and may in the future make changes to our portfolio, which may be material. For example, on December 5, 2017, the Company announced our intention to sell the Sea Ray businesses, including the Meridian brand. Divestitures involve risks, including difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel, disruption in our operations or businesses, finding a suitable purchaser, the diversion of management's attention from our other businesses, the potential loss of key employees, adverse effects on relationships with our dealer or supplier partners or their businesses, the erosion of employee morale or customer confidence, and the retention of contingent liabilities related to the divested business. If we do not successfully manage the risks associated with divestitures, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected as the potential strategic benefits may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected.

Changes in currency exchange rates can adversely affect our results.

Some of our sales are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Consequently, a strong U.S. dollar may adversely affect reported revenues. We have hedging programs in place to reduce our risk to currency fluctuations; however, we cannot hedge against all currency risks, especially over the long term. We maintain a portion of our cost structure in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which partially mitigates the impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar. This includes manufacturing operations for boats in Europe and Canada, fitness equipment in Europe, and smaller outboard engines manufactured and purchased from our joint venture in Japan. We also continue to evaluate the supply chain and cost structure for opportunities to further mitigate foreign currency risks.

We sell products manufactured in the U.S. into certain international markets in U.S. dollars, including to Canada, Europe, and Latin America. Demand for our products in these markets may be diminished by a strengthening U.S. dollar, or we may need to lower prices to remain competitive. Some of our competitors with cost positions based outside the U.S., including Asian-based outboard engine and fitness equipment manufacturers, European-based large fiberglass boat manufacturers, and a European-based fitness equipment manufacturer, may have an improved cost position due to a strengthening U.S. dollar, which could result in pricing pressures on our products. These factors existed throughout 2016 and 2017, but we do not believe they resulted in a material change in our competitive position.

Fiscal concerns may negatively impact worldwide credit conditions and adversely affect our industries, businesses, and financial condition.

Fiscal policy could have a material adverse impact on worldwide economic conditions, the financial markets, and availability of credit and, consequently, may negatively affect our industries, businesses, and overall financial condition. Customers often finance purchases of our products, particularly boats. Credit market conditions, while improved, are still less favorable overall than those in existence prior to the global recession in 2008. While interest rates remain relatively low and credit availability is adequate to support demand, there are fewer lenders, tighter underwriting and loan approval criteria, and greater down payment requirements.  If credit conditions worsen, and adversely affect the ability of customers to finance potential purchases at acceptable terms and interest rates, it could result in a decrease in sales or delay improvement in sales.

Dealer or distributor inability to secure adequate access to capital could adversely affect our sales.

Our dealers require adequate liquidity to finance their operations, including purchasing our products. Dealers are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could unfavorably affect their liquidity positions, including, among other things, continued access to adequate financing sources on a timely basis on reasonable terms. These financing sources are vital to our ability to sell products through our distribution network, particularly to boat and engine dealers. Entities affiliated with Wells Fargo & Company, including BAC, the Company’s 49 percent owned joint venture, finance a significant portion of our boat and engine sales to dealers through floorplan financing to marine dealers.

Many factors continue to influence the availability and terms of financing that our dealer floorplan financing providers offer, including:

• their ability to access certain capital markets, such as the securitization and the commercial paper markets, and to fund their operations in a cost effective manner;

• the performance of their overall credit portfolios;

• their willingness to accept the risks associated with lending to marine dealers; and

• the overall creditworthiness of those dealers.  

9

Our sales could be adversely affected if financing terms change unfavorably or if BAC were to be terminated. This could require dealers to find alternative sources of financing, including our direct financing to dealers, which could require additional capital to fund the associated receivables.

Our financial results could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain effective distribution.

We rely on third-party dealers and distributors to sell most of our products, particularly in the marine businesses. Maintaining a reliable network of dealers is essential to our success. We face competition from other manufacturers in attracting and retaining distributors and independent boat dealers. A significant deterioration in the number or effectiveness of our dealers and distributors could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

Although at present we believe dealer health to be generally favorable, weakening demand for marine products could hurt our dealers’ financial performance. In particular, reduced cash flow from decreases in sales and tightening credit markets may impair dealers' ability to fund operations. Inability to fund operations can force dealers to cease business, and we may be unable to obtain alternate distribution in the vacated market. An inability to obtain alternate distribution could unfavorably affect our net sales through reduced market presence. If economic conditions deteriorate, we anticipate that dealer failures or voluntary market exits would increase, especially if overall retail demand materially declines. 

Finally, labor disruption at major ports and shipping hubs around the world may adversely affect our ability to transport raw materials to our facilities and products to our distributors and end-use customers, potentially resulting in increased transportation costs and lost sales.

Adverse economic, credit, and capital market conditions could have a negative impact on our financial results.

We do not frequently rely on short-term capital markets to meet our working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures, pay dividends, or fund employee benefit programs; however, we do maintain short-term borrowing facilities that can be used to meet these capital requirements. In addition, over the long term, we may determine that it is necessary to access the capital markets to refinance existing long-term indebtedness or for other initiatives.

Adverse global economic conditions, market volatility, and regulatory uncertainty could lead to volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets. This could adversely affect our ability to access capital and credit markets or increase the cost to do so, which could have a negative impact on our business, financial results and competitive position.

Loss of key customers could harm our business.

In each segment, we have important relationships with key customers. From time to time, contracts with these customers come up for renewal, including a contract with a large Fitness segment customer in the first half of 2018. We cannot be certain we will renew such contracts, or renew them on favorable terms. If we lose a key customer, or a significant portion of its business, we could be adversely affected. In addition, certain customers could try to negotiate more favorable pricing of our products, which could depress earnings. In an effort to mitigate the risk associated with reliance on key customer accounts, we continually monitor such relationships and maintain a complete and competitive product lineup.

Inventory reductions by major dealers, retailers, and independent boat builders could adversely affect our financial results.

The Company and our dealers, retailers, and other distributors could decide to reduce the number of units they hold, particularly if demand trails forecasted levels or if new product introductions are expected to replace older products. Such efforts tend to result in wholesale sales reductions in excess of retail sales reductions and would likely result in lower production levels of our products, causing lower rates of absorption of fixed costs in our manufacturing facilities and lower margins. While we continue to work to keep dealer inventories at appropriate levels, potential inventory reductions remain a risk to our future sales and results of operations.

We may be required to repurchase inventory or accounts of certain dealers.

We have agreements with certain third-party finance companies to provide financing to our customers, enabling them to purchase our products. In connection with these agreements, we may either have obligations to repurchase our products from the finance company, or may have recourse obligations to the finance company on the dealer’s receivables. These obligations may be triggered if our dealers default on their debt obligations to the finance companies.

Our maximum contingent obligation to repurchase inventory and our maximum contingent recourse obligations on customer receivables are less than the total balances of dealer financings outstanding under these programs, because our obligations under certain of these arrangements are subject to caps, or are limited based on the age of product. Our risk related to these arrangements

10

is mitigated by the proceeds we receive on the resale of repurchased product to other dealers, or by recoveries on receivables purchased under the recourse obligations.

Our inventory repurchase obligations relate primarily to the inventory floorplan credit facilities of our boat and engine dealers. Our actual historical repurchase experience related to these arrangements has been substantially less than our maximum contractual obligations. If dealers file for bankruptcy or cease operations, however, we could incur losses associated with the repurchase of our products.  In addition, as the repurchases may be triggered by dealer bankruptcies, our net sales and earnings may be unfavorably affected as a result of reduced market coverage and the associated decline in sales.

Declines in marine industry demand could cause an increase in future repurchase activity, or could require us to incur losses in excess of established reserves. In addition, our cash flow and loss experience could be adversely affected if repurchased inventory is not successfully distributed to other dealers in a timely manner, or if the recovery rate on the resale of the product declines.  The finance companies could require changes in repurchase or recourse terms that would result in an increase in our contractual contingent obligations.

Our operations are dependent on our ability to attract and retain adequate skilled labor and on the successful implementation of succession plans for key contributors.

Much of our future success depends on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including executives and skilled labor. If we are not successful in these efforts, we may be unable to meet our operating goals and plans, which may impact our financial results. With unemployment rates at low levels in many of the geographic areas in which we manufacture or distribute goods, availability of skilled hourly workers is critical to our operations. In order to manage this risk, we continuously monitor and make improvements to wages and benefit programs, as well as develop and improve recruiting and training programs to attract and retain an experienced and skilled workforce. In addition, we perform an annual review of management succession plans with the Board of Directors, including reviewing executive officer and other important positions to substantially mitigate the risk associated with key contributor transitions.

Our financial results may be adversely affected by increased costs, disruption of supply, or defects in raw materials, parts, and product components we buy from third-party suppliers.

We rely on third parties to supply raw materials used in the manufacturing process, including oil, aluminum, copper, steel, and resins, as well as product parts and components. The prices for these raw materials, parts, and components fluctuate depending on market conditions and, in some instances, commodity prices. Substantial increases in the prices of raw materials, parts, and components would increase our operating costs, and could reduce our profitability if we are unable to recoup the increased costs through higher product prices. Similarly, if a critical supplier were to close its operations, cease manufacturing, or otherwise fail to deliver an essential component necessary to our manufacturing operations, that could detrimentally affect our ability to manufacture and sell our products, resulting in an interruption in business operations and/or a loss of sales. 

In addition, some components used in our manufacturing processes, including certain engine components, furniture, upholstery, and boat windshields, are available from a sole supplier or a limited number of suppliers. Operational and financial difficulties that these or other suppliers may face in the future could adversely affect their ability to supply us with the parts and components we need, which could significantly disrupt our operations. It may be difficult to find a replacement supplier for a limited or sole source raw material, part, or component without significant delay or on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, an uncorrected defect or supplier's variation in a raw material, part, or component, either unknown to us or incompatible with our manufacturing process, could jeopardize our ability to manufacture products.  

Some additional supply risks that could disrupt our operations, impair our ability to deliver products to customers, and negatively affect our financial results include:

• financial pressures on our suppliers due to a weakening economy or unfavorable conditions in other end markets;

• a deterioration of our relationships with suppliers;

• events such as natural disasters, power outages or labor strikes; or

• supplier manufacturing constraints and investment requirements.

These risks are exacerbated in the case of single-source suppliers, and the exclusive supplier of a key component potentially could exert significant bargaining power over price, quality, warranty claims, or other terms.

We continue to increase production; consequently, our need for raw materials and supplies continues to increase. Our suppliers must be prepared to ramp up operations and, in many cases, hire additional workers and/or expand capacity in order to fulfill our orders and those of other customers. Cost increases, defects, or sustained interruptions in the supply of raw materials, parts, or

11

components due to delayed start-up periods our suppliers experience as they increase production efforts create risks to our operations and financial results. The Company experienced periodic supply shortages in 2017. We continue to address these issues by identifying alternative suppliers for key materials and components, working to secure adequate inventories of critical supplies, and continually monitoring the capabilities of our supplier base. In the future, however, we may experience shortages, delayed delivery, and/or increased prices for key materials, parts, and supplies that are essential to our manufacturing operations.

Higher energy and fuel costs can affect our results.

Higher energy and fuel costs increase operating expenses at our manufacturing facilities and the cost of shipping products to customers. In addition, increases in energy costs can adversely affect the pricing and availability of petroleum-based raw materials such as resins and foam that are used in many of our marine products. Higher fuel prices may also have an adverse effect on demand for our marine parts and accessories businesses, as they increase the cost of boat ownership and possibly affect product use.

Our success depends upon the continued strength of our brands.

We believe that our brands, including Mercury Marine, Life Fitness, Boston Whaler, and Lund, significantly contribute to our success, and that maintaining and enhancing these brands is important to expanding our customer base. A failure to adequately promote and protect our brands could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, in connection with the divestiture of the bowling businesses, we licensed certain trademarks and servicemarks, including use of the name “Brunswick,” to the acquiring companies. Our reputation may be adversely affected by the purchasers' inappropriate use of the marks or of the name Brunswick, including potential negative publicity, loss of confidence, or other damage to our image due to this licensed use.

Either inadequate intellectual property protection that could allow others to use our technologies and impair our ability to compete, or failure to successfully defend against patent infringement claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We regard much of the technology underlying our products as proprietary. We rely on a combination of patents, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws; employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements; and other contracts to establish and protect our technology and other intellectual property rights. However, we remain subject to risks, including:

• the steps we take to protect our proprietary technology may be inadequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology;

• third parties may independently develop similar technology;

• agreements containing protections may be breached or terminated;

• we may not have adequate remedies for breaches;

• existing patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws may afford limited protection;

• a third party could copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization; or

• we may be required to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights, and we may not be successful.

Policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult, particularly outside the U.S., and litigating intellectual property claims may result in substantial cost and divert management’s attention.

In addition, we may be required to defend our products against patent or other intellectual property infringement claims or litigation. In addition to defense expenses and costs, we may not prevail in such cases, forcing us to seek licenses or royalty arrangements from third parties, which we may not be able to obtain on reasonable terms, or subjecting us to an order or requirement to stop manufacturing, using, selling, or distributing products that included challenged intellectual property, which could harm our business and financial results.

We have a fixed cost base that can affect our profitability in a declining sales environment.

The fixed cost levels of operating production facilities can put pressure on profit margins when sales and production decline. We have maintained discipline over our fixed cost base during the economic recovery; however, our profitability is dependent, in part, on our ability to spread fixed costs over an increasing number of products sold and shipped, and if we are required to reduce our rate of production, gross margins could be negatively affected if we are unable to lower fixed costs accordingly. Consequently, decreased demand or the need to reduce inventories can lower our ability to absorb fixed costs and materially impact our results.

Successfully managing the expansion of our manufacturing footprint is critical to our operating and financial results.

Over the past five years, we have made strategic capital investments in capacity expansion activities to successfully capture growth opportunities and enhance product offerings. Recently, we initiated or completed expansion activities at our facilities in Edgewater, Florida; Lebanon, Missouri; Owatonna, Minnesota; Fond du Lac, Wisconsin; and Vila Nova de Cerveira, Portugal.

12

We must carefully manage these capital improvement projects and expansions to ensure they meet cost targets, comply with applicable environmental, safety, and other regulations, and uphold high-quality workmanship.

Moving production to a different plant or expanding capacity at an existing facility involves risks, including difficulties initiating production within the cost and timeframe estimated, supplying product to customers when expected, integrating new products, and attracting sufficient skilled workers to handle additional production demands. If we fail to meet these objectives, it could adversely affect our ability to meet customer demand for products and increase the cost of production versus projections, both of which could result in a significant adverse impact on operating and financial results. Additionally, plants experiencing demand increases may face manufacturing inefficiencies, additional expenses, including higher wages, and cost inefficiencies, which could exceed projections and negatively impact financial results.

Our business operations could be negatively impacted by an outage or breach of our information technology systems or a cybersecurity event.

We manage our global business operations through a variety of information technology (IT) systems which we continually enhance to increase efficiency and security. We depend on these systems for commercial transactions, customer interactions, manufacturing, branding, employee tracking, and other applications. Some of the systems are based on legacy technology and operate with a minimal level of available support, and recent acquisitions using other systems have added to the complexity of our IT infrastructure. We are working to upgrade, streamline, and integrate these systems and have invested in strategies to prevent a failure or breach but, like those of other companies, our systems are susceptible to outages due to natural disasters, power loss, computer viruses, security breaches, hardware or software vulnerabilities, and similar events. If a legacy system or another of the Company's key systems were to fail or if our IT systems were unable to communicate effectively, this could result in missed or delayed sales or lost opportunities for cost reduction or efficient cash management.

We exchange information with hundreds of trading partners across all aspects of our commercial operations. A breakdown, outage, malicious intrusion, random attack, or other disruption of communications could result in erroneous transactions or loss of reputation and confidence. We have numerous e-commerce and e-marketing portals and our systems may contain personal information of customers or employees; therefore, we must continue to be diligent in protecting against malicious cyber attacks. If our security measures are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to obtain access to or acquire personal data. Depending on the nature of the information compromised, we may also have obligations to notify consumers and/or employees about the incident, and we may need to provide some form of remedy, such as a subscription to a credit monitoring service, for the individuals affected by the incident.

A successful breach could result in a disruption of services, fraudulent transactions, or disclosure of confidential information. This could negatively affect our relationships with customers or trading partners, lead to potential claims against the Company, and damage our image and reputation.

Our pension funding requirements and expenses are affected by certain factors outside our control.

Our funding obligations and pension expense for our two U.S. qualified pension plans are driven by the performance of assets set aside in trusts for these plans, the discount rate used to value the plans’ liabilities, actuarial data and experience, and legal and regulatory funding requirements. Changes in these factors could have an adverse impact on our results of operations, liquidity, or shareholders’ equity. In addition, a small portion of our pension plan assets are invested in equity securities, which can experience significant declines if economic conditions or financial markets weaken. The level of the Company's funding of our qualified pension plan liabilities was approximately 80 percent as of December 31, 2017. Although we have attempted to minimize this risk through pension de-risking actions, including moving investments to fixed income from equities and reducing liabilities through lump sum and annuity offerings, our future pension expense and funding requirements could increase due to the effect of adverse changes in the discount rate and asset levels along with a decline in the estimated return on plan assets. In addition, changes to legal regulations could require us to make increased contributions to the pension plans; these contributions could negatively affect cash flow.

We are currently mitigating these risks by maintaining an asset allocation with a high percentage of fixed income investments and by lowering plan liabilities by transferring obligations to a third party through annuity purchases.

The timing and amount of our share repurchases are subject to a number of uncertainties.

The Board of Directors has authorized the Company’s discretionary repurchase of outstanding common stock, to be systematically completed in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The remaining authorization under these programs is $110 million. The amount and timing of share repurchases are based on a variety of factors. Important considerations that could cause us to limit, suspend, or delay stock repurchases include:

13

• unfavorable market conditions;

• the trading price of the Company's common stock;

• the nature of other investment opportunities available to us from time to time; and

• the availability of cash.

Delaying, limiting, or suspending our stock repurchase program may negatively affect our stock price and performance versus earnings per share targets.

Our profitability may suffer as a result of competitive pricing and other pressures.

The introduction of lower-priced alternative products or services by other companies can hurt our competitive position in all of our businesses. We are constantly subject to competitive pressures in which predominantly international manufacturers may pursue a strategy of aggressive pricing, particularly during periods when their local currency weakens versus the U.S. dollar. Such pricing pressure may limit our ability to increase prices for our products in response to raw material and other cost increases and negatively affect our profit margins.

In addition, our independent boat builder customers may react negatively to potential competition for their products from Brunswick’s own boat brands, which can lead them to purchase marine engines and marine engine supplies from competing marine engine manufacturers and may negatively affect demand for our products.

Our ability to remain competitive depends on successfully introducing new products and services that meet customer expectations.

We believe that our customers look for and expect quality, innovation, and advanced features when evaluating and making purchasing decisions about products and services in the marketplace. Our ability to remain competitive and meet our growth objectives may be adversely affected by difficulties or delays in product development, such as an inability to develop viable new products or customer solutions, gain market acceptance of new products, generate sufficient capital to fund new product development, or obtain adequate intellectual property protection for new products. To meet ever-changing consumer demands, both timing of market entry and pricing of new products are critical.  As a result, we may not be able to introduce new products that are necessary to remain competitive in all markets that we serve.  Furthermore, we must continue to meet or exceed customers' expectations regarding product quality and after-sales service.

We manufacture and sell products that create exposure to potential claims and litigation.

Our manufacturing operations and the products we produce could result in product quality, warranty, personal injury, property damage, and other issues, thereby increasing the risk of litigation and potential liability, as well as regulatory fines. To address this risk, we have established a global, enterprise-wide program charged with the responsibility for addressing, reviewing, and reporting on product integrity issues. Historically, the resolution of such claims has not had a materially adverse effect on our business, and we maintain what we believe to be adequate insurance coverage to mitigate a portion of these risks. However, we may experience material losses in the future, incur significant costs to defend claims or issue product recalls, be subjected to fines or penalties, or experience claims in excess of our insurance coverage or that are not covered by insurance. Furthermore, our reputation may be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, including potential negative publicity about our products. We record accruals for known potential liabilities, but there is the possibility that actual losses may exceed these accruals and therefore negatively impact earnings.

Compliance with environmental, zoning, data protection, and other laws and regulations may increase costs and reduce demand for our products.

We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations, including product safety, environmental, health and safety, privacy, and other regulations.  While we believe that we maintain the requisite licenses and permits and that we are in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations, a failure to satisfy these and other regulatory requirements could result in fines or penalties, and compliance could increase the cost of operations. The adoption of additional laws, rules, and regulations, including stricter emissions standards, could increase our manufacturing costs, increase consumer pricing, and reduce consumer demand for our products.

Environmental restrictions, boat plant emission restrictions, and permitting and zoning requirements can limit production capacity, access to water for boating, marina, and storage space. While future licensing requirements, including any licenses imposed on recreational boating, are not expected to be unduly restrictive, they may deter potential customers, thereby reducing our sales. Furthermore, regulations allowing the sale of fuel containing higher levels of ethanol for automobiles, which is not appropriate or intended for use in marine engines, may nonetheless result in increased warranty, service costs, product

14

dissatisfaction, and other claims against the Company if boaters mistakenly use this fuel in marine engines, causing damage to and the degradation of components in their marine engines.

Our manufacturing processes involve the use, handling, storage and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Accordingly, we are subject to regulations regarding these substances, and the misuse or mishandling of such substances could expose us to liabilities, including claims for property, personal injury, or natural resources damages, or fines. We are also subject to laws requiring the cleanup of contaminated property, including cleanup efforts currently underway. If a release of hazardous substances occurs at or from one of our current or former properties or another location where we have disposed of hazardous materials, we may be held liable for the contamination, regardless of knowledge or whether we were at fault, and the amount of such liability could be material.

We are subject to various data protection and privacy laws and regulations in the foreign countries where we operate because we collect, store, process, and use personal information, and we rely on third parties that are not directly under our control to do so as well. The European Union has finalized a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will become effective in May 2018 and will impose an even greater compliance burden with respect to privacy and data security. The GDPR and a growing number of legislative and regulatory bodies elsewhere in the world have adopted consumer notification requirements in the event of unauthorized access to or acquisition of certain types of personal data. These breach notification laws continue to evolve and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. Complying with these obligations could cause us to incur substantial costs and could increase negative publicity surrounding any incident that compromises personal data.

Additionally, we are subject to laws governing our relationships with employees, including, but not limited to, employment obligations as a federal contractor and employee wage, hour, and benefits issues, such as pension funding and health care benefits. Compliance with these rules and regulations, and compliance with any changes to current regulations, could increase the cost of our operations.

Changes in income tax laws or enforcement could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.

Although domestic tax reform legislation in the form of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), signed into law on December 22, 2017, should have an overall positive impact on our financial statements, our current estimates of the impact of the legislation could change as we analyze and apply additional regulations or guidance issued by the government. In addition, other changes in international and domestic tax laws, including the reaction by states to the corporate tax changes in the TCJA, and changes in tax law enforcement, could negatively impact our tax provision, cash flow, and/or tax related balance sheet amounts, including our deferred tax asset values. Changes in U.S. tax law will likely have broader implications, including impacts to the economy, currency markets, inflation environment, consumer behavior, and/or competitive dynamics, which it is difficult to predict, and may positively or negatively impact the Company and our results.

An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill, trade names, and other long-lived assets could negatively affect our consolidated results of operations and net worth.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as our trade names, are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. In evaluating the potential for impairment of goodwill and trade names, we make assumptions regarding future operating performance, business trends, and market and economic conditions. Such analyses further require us to make certain assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates, and discount rates.  Uncertainties are inherent in evaluating and applying these factors to the assessment of goodwill and trade name recoverability. We could be required to evaluate the recoverability of goodwill or trade names prior to the annual assessment if we experience business disruptions, unexpected significant declines in operating results, a divestiture of a significant component of our business, or declines in market capitalization.

We also continually evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or whether the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. We use an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flow over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether the asset is recoverable.

If the future operating performance of the Company's reporting units is not sufficient, we could be required to record non-cash impairment charges. Impairment charges could substantially affect our reported earnings in the periods such charges are recorded. In addition, impairment charges could indicate a reduction in business value which could limit our ability to obtain adequate financing in the future.  As of December 31, 2017, goodwill was approximately 13 percent of total assets and included $391 million of goodwill related to the Fitness segment, $32 million of goodwill related to the Marine Engine segment, and $2 million of goodwill related to the Boat segment.

15

Certain activist shareholder actions could cause us to incur expense and hinder execution of our strategy.

We actively engage in discussions with our shareholders regarding further strengthening our Company and creating long-term shareholder value. This ongoing dialogue can include certain divisive activist tactics, which can take many forms. Some shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs, such as legal fees and expenses, and divert management’s and our Board’s attention and resources from our businesses and strategic plans. Additionally, public shareholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect our relationships with dealers, distributors, or customers, make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, and cause our stock price to fluctuate based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business. These risks could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Some of our operations are conducted by joint ventures that are not operated solely for our benefit.

We share ownership and management responsibilities with jointly owned companies such as BAC, Bella, and Tohatsu Marine Corporation. These joint ventures may not have the same goals, strategies, priorities, or resources as the Company because they are intended to be operated for the benefit of all co-owners, rather than for our exclusive benefit. If such a conflict occurred, it could negatively impact or sales or financial results.

A significant portion of our revenue is derived from international sources, which creates additional uncertainty.

We intend to continue to expand our international operations and customer base as part of our growth strategy. Sales outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, are subject to various risks, including government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions, foreign currency effects, tariffs, customs duties, inflation, difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems, compliance with international laws, treaties, and regulations, and unexpected changes in regulatory environments, disruptions in distribution, and dependence on foreign personnel and unions, as well as economic and social instability. In addition, there may be tax inefficiencies in repatriating cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries, or tax laws that affect this process may change.  

Instability, including, but not limited to, political events, civil unrest, and an increase in criminal activity, in locations where we maintain a significant presence could adversely impact our manufacturing and business operations. Decreased stability poses a risk of business interruption and delays in shipments of materials, components, and finished goods, as well as a risk of decreased local retail demand for our products.

In addition, global political and economic uncertainty and shifts, such as the ongoing negotiations to determine the future terms of the U.K.’s relationship with the EU (Brexit), pose risks of volatility in global markets, which could affect our operations and financial results. Changes in U.S. policy regarding foreign trade or manufacturing may create negative sentiment about the U.S. among non-U.S. customers, employees, or prospective employees, which could adversely affect our business, sales, hiring, and employee retention. If we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks, which could materially impact international operations or the business as a whole.

Adverse weather conditions and climate events can have a negative effect on marine revenues.

Changes in seasonal weather conditions can have a significant effect on our operating and financial results, especially in the marine businesses. Sales of our marine products are typically stronger just before and during spring and summer, and favorable weather during these months generally has had a positive effect on consumer demand. Conversely, unseasonably cool weather, excessive rainfall, or drought conditions during these periods can reduce or change the timing of demand.  Additionally, climate changes, regardless of the cause, resulting in environmental changes including, but not limited to, severe weather, changing sea levels, poor water conditions, or reduced access to water, could disrupt or negatively affect our business.

Catastrophic events, including natural and environmental disasters, could have a negative effect on our operations and financial results.

Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, storms, and catastrophic natural or environmental disasters could disrupt our distribution channel, operations, or supply chain and decrease consumer demand. If a catastrophic event takes place in one of our major sales markets, our sales could be diminished. Additionally, if such an event occurs near our business, manufacturing facilities or key suppliers' facilities, business operations and/or operating systems could be interrupted. We could be uniquely affected by a catastrophic event due to the location of certain of our boat facilities in coastal Florida and the size of the manufacturing operation in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

Item 7.  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. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Specifically, the discussion of the Company’s cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity; the discussion of the Company's net sales includes a discussion of net sales on a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions; the discussion of the Company's earnings includes a presentation of operating earnings and operating margin excluding pension settlement charges, restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges and certain product field campaigns charges; gross margin excluding certain product field campaigns charges; and 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 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.  Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.

The Company includes certain non-GAAP financial measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as management believes that these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the Company’s ongoing business performance. 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 charges, special tax items, charges for certain product field campaigns and certain other unusual adjustments.

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Brunswick’s business and by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Words such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “target,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “estimate,” “believe,” “predict,” “outlook,” “anticipates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations as of the date of this presentation. These risks include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and Brunswick does not undertake any obligation to update them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Annual Report.

Overview and Outlook

General

The Company's 2017 results represent the eighth consecutive year of growth, primarily resulting from strong operating performance from our marine businesses. The Company looked to achieve the following financial objectives in 2017:

• Deliver revenue growth;

• Increase earnings before income taxes, as well as deliver improvements in both gross margin and operating margin percentages; and

• Continue to generate strong free cash flow and execute against the Company's capital strategy.

Achievements against the Company's financial objectives in 2017 were as follows:

Deliver revenue growth:

• Ended the year with a 9 percent increase in net sales when compared with 2016 on a GAAP basis and 8 percent on a constant currency basis, due to the following:

• Strong growth in all three primary boat categories and the outboard engine business, along with solid growth in the marine parts and accessories businesses;

23

• The Marine Engine and Boat segments benefited from strong global market demand, as domestic markets continued to grow and international markets benefited from gains in Europe, Canada and Asia-Pacific, as well as improving conditions in other regions;

• Additionally, the Marine Engine and Boat segments sales were aided by successful product launches, continued strong market share and execution of our acquisition strategy;

• Fitness segment net sales reflected growth in international markets, including the impacts of the Indoor Cycling Group acquisition completed in 2016, while domestic market demand was flat;

• International sales for the Company increased 10 percent in 2017 when compared with 2016 on both a GAAP basis and on a constant currency basis due to increased sales across all international markets, especially Asia-Pacific, Europe and Canada.

Experience an increase in earnings before income taxes, as well as deliver improvements in both gross margin and operating margin percentages:

• Reported earnings before income taxes of $343.3 million in 2017 compared with earnings before income taxes of $389.0 million in 2016; adjusted earnings before income taxes were $490.0 million in 2017 versus $459.3 million in 2016;

• Gross margin declined 100 basis points when compared with 2016, driven mainly by declines in the Fitness segment due to higher costs, particularly product field campaigns costs for certain Cybex products designed prior to the acquisition as well as freight costs in the fourth quarter, challenging pricing dynamics in certain international markets and unfavorable changes in sales mix; gross margin, as adjusted, declined 80 basis points when compared with 2016;

• Operating margin declined by 190 basis points when compared with the prior year, due in part to increased pension settlement charges, restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, field campaigns charges in the Fitness segment and the impact of planned investments in growth initiatives compared with the prior year; operating margin, as adjusted, declined 40 basis points versus 2016.

Continue to generate strong free cash flow and execute against the Company's capital strategy:

• Generated strong free cash flow of $243.1 million in 2017, enabling the Company to continue executing its capital strategy as follows:

• Funded investments in growth:

• Organically through capital expenditures, which included investments in new products as well as capacity expansions across all segments;

• Through acquisitions, including the $15.5 million invested in the Marine Engine segment during 2017;

• Contributed $73.7 million to the Company's qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans; and

• Enhanced shareholder returns in 2017 by repurchasing $130.0 million of common stock under the Company’s share repurchase program and increased cash dividends paid to shareholders to $60.6 million.

• Ended the year with $459.0 million of cash and marketable securities.

Net earnings from continuing operations decreased to $187.3 million in 2017 from $272.6 million in 2016. The 2017 results include an income tax provision of $156.0 million, which included net charges of $61.8 million primarily relating to the impact of U.S. tax reform, including the impact on deferred tax balances from the reduction in the statutory rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, along with an estimate of taxes payable on deemed unrepatriated foreign earnings. The 2016 results reflect an income tax provision of $116.4 million, which included a net income tax charge of $1.1 million, primarily associated with the impact of changes in tax laws partially offset by the reassessment of tax reserves and favorable valuation allowance adjustments.

24

Discontinued Operations

On December 5, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Sea Ray businesses, including the Meridian brand, as a result of, among other things, a shift in strategic direction and a review of the expected future cash flows, market conditions and business trends. On May 22, 2015, and September 18, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its bowling products and retail bowling businesses, respectively.

As a result, these businesses are being reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The Billiards business, which was previously reported in the former Bowling & Billiards segment, remains part of the Company and is being reported in the Fitness segment for all periods presented.

The Company's results for all periods presented, as discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis, are presented on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 2 –Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Outlook for 2018

The Company is projecting 2018 to be another year of strong revenue and earnings growth with improved free cash flow generation. The Company is targeting 5 percent to 7 percent sales growth versus 2017, which includes benefits from the continuation of solid global growth in the marine markets, the success of new products, completed acquisitions and favorable movements in foreign exchange rates. The Company anticipates sales growth in the Marine Engine segment will exceed the market due to contributions from new products as well as expanded and enhanced manufacturing and distribution capabilities. In the Boat segment, the Company expects growth in the fiberglass and aluminum outboard boat markets, including strong demand in the pontoon business. The Fitness segment is expected to report slight revenue growth resulting from the introduction of new products, enhanced digital offerings and a focus on strengthening key customer relationships.

The Company is planning to have higher earnings before income taxes in 2018 resulting from increased revenue and improvements in both gross margin and operating margin levels. Operating margin gains include benefits from new products, volume leverage, cost reductions related to efficiency initiatives, modestly positive product mix factors and a favorable impact from foreign exchange rates. The Company projects operating expenses to increase in 2018 as we continue to fund incremental investments to support growth; however, on a percentage of sales basis, they are expected to be slightly lower than 2017.

The Company is planning for its effective tax rate in 2018 to be approximately 23 percent to 24 percent based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017.

As a result of Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment activities, the Company anticipates future cost savings of approximately $4 million in the Fitness segment, with the full impact realized in 2018. Future cost savings will primarily be reflected in the Selling, general and administrative expense as reported on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company anticipates it will incur restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of approximately $3 million in 2018.

Matters Affecting Comparability

Certain events occurred during 2017, 2016 and 2015 that the Company believes affect the comparability of the results of operations. The table below summarizes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and the impact of recent acquisitions on the Company's net sales:

	Net Sales									2017 vs. 2016			2016 vs. 2015
(in millions)	2017			2016			2015			GAAP	Constant Currency	Acquisition Contribution	GAAP	Constant Currency	Acquisition Contribution

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 20 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 $1 million in 2017 when compared with 2016, and were negatively affected by foreign exchange rates by approximately $14 million in 2016 when compared with 2015. 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.

Acquisitions. The Company completed acquisitions during 2017, 2016 and 2015 that affect the comparability of net sales. The impacts on consolidated and segment sales comparisons are reflected above. Refer to Note 4 –Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Pension settlement charges. In the fourth quarters of 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized $96.6 million, $55.1 million and $82.3 million of charges, respectively, related to actions taken to settle a portion of its pension obligations. These actions included transferring certain plan obligations to a third party by purchasing annuities on behalf of plan participants and making lump-sum payments directly to certain plan participants, as applicable. These costs are reflected in Pension settlement charge on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 17 –Postretirement Benefits in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

26

Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges.  During 2017, the Company recorded restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $36.6 million, compared with charges of $15.2 million in 2016 and $4.7 million in 2015. See Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Product field campaigns charge. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $13.5 million charge for costs related to field campaigns pertaining to certain Cybex products designed prior to the acquisition. The charge consisted of $8.4 million and $5.1 million within Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. There were no comparable costs in the prior year periods. See Note 13 –Commitments and Contingencies for further details.

Tax items.The Company recorded anincome tax provision of $156.0 million, which included net charges of $61.8 million, primarily relating to the impact of U.S. tax reform under the TCJA, including the unfavorable impact on deferred tax balances caused by the reduction in the U.S. statutory rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, along with an estimate of taxes payable on deemed unrepatriated foreign earnings. The 2016 results reflect an income tax provision of $116.4 million, which included a net income tax charge of $1.1 million, primarily associated with the impact of changes in tax laws partially offset by the reassessment of tax reserves and favorable valuation allowance adjustments.

See Note 12 –Income Taxesin the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

(A) Gross margin is defined as Net sales less Cost of sales as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(B) 2017 Gross margin includes $8.4 million of charges; and 2017 Operating earnings and Net earnings from continuing operations include $13.5 million of charges, respectively, for costs related to field campaigns pertaining to certain Cybex products designed prior to the acquisition.

2017 vs. 2016

Net sales increased during 2017 when compared with 2016 due to increases across all segments. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in both outboard engines as well as the marine parts and accessories businesses. Outboard engines benefited from a favorable market environment, particularly for higher horsepower engines, and continued benefits from new product launches and market share gains. The marine parts and accessories businesses benefited from several factors, including

27

the successful execution of the Company's international growth strategy, recent acquisitions and new product launches. Boat segment net sales reflected strong growth in the aluminum and fiberglass outboard boat businesses.Fitness segment net sales increased modestly reflecting growth in international markets while domestic demand was flat. International net sales for the Company increased 10 percent in 2017 on both a GAAP basis and on a constant currency basis when compared with 2016, driven by strong sales increases in Asia-Pacific, Europe and Canada as well as solid increases in other international markets.

Gross margin percentage decreased in 2017when compared with 2016 driven by declines in the Fitness segment, as a result of several factors, including higher costs, particularly product field campaigns costs for certain Cybex products designed prior to the acquisition as well as higher freight costs, particularly in the fourth quarter, challenging pricing dynamics in certain international markets and unfavorable changes in sales mix.

Selling, general and administrative expense and Research and development expense line items increased during 2017 when compared with 2016, but decreased as a percentage of net sales. Both line items reflected increased funding to support investments in new products and growth initiatives, partially offset by cost reduction efforts.

In 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $96.6 million and $55.1 million, respectively, of charges related to pension settlement actions as discussed in Note 17 –Postretirement Benefits in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

During 2017, the Company recorded restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $36.6 million compared with $15.2 million in 2016. See Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

The Company recognized equity earnings of $6.1 million and $4.3 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, which were mainly related to the Company's marine joint ventures. The Company recognized $6.1 million and $3.2 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively, in Other income, net, which includes the amortization of deferred income related to a trademark licensing agreement with AMF Bowling Centers, Inc (AMF) in both periods, as well as favorable foreign exchange adjustments in 2017 compared with 2016. See Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policiesinthe Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the trademark agreement with AMF.

Net interest expense decreased slightly in 2017 compared with 2016.

The Company recordedanincome tax provision of $156.0 million, which included net charges of $61.8 million primarily relating to the impact of U.S. tax reform, including the unfavorable impact on deferred tax balances caused by the reduction in the U.S. statutory rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, along with an estimate of taxes payable on deemed unrepatriated foreign earnings. The 2016 results reflect an income tax provision of $116.4 million, which included a net income tax charge of $1.1 million, primarily associated with the impact of changes in tax laws partially offset by the reassessment of tax reserves and favorable valuation allowance adjustments. The effective tax rate for 2017 and 2016 was 45.4 percent and 29.9 percent, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate in both periods also reflects the benefit of having earnings from foreign entities in jurisdictions that have lower statutory tax rates than the U.S. This includes entities in Hungary, China, Poland and the United Kingdom which have applicable statutory tax rates of 9 percent, 15 percent, 19 percent and 19 percent, respectively.

See Note 12 –Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the impacts of the TCJA as well as a reconciliation of the Company's effective tax rate and statutory Federal income tax rate.

Operating earnings, Net earnings from continuing operations and Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations decreased in 2017 when compared with 2016, primarily due to the factors discussed in the preceding paragraphs. The decrease in Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations was partially offset by benefits from common stock repurchases.

Diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share, as adjusted, increased by $0.43 per share, or 12 percent, to $3.89 per share for 2017 when compared with $3.46 per share for 2016, and included adjustments for the following items in 2017: a net charge for special tax items of $0.76 per share, Pension settlement charge of $0.69 per share, Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $0.26 per share and product field campaigns charges of $0.10 per share. In 2016, Diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share included: Pension settlement charge of $0.38 per share, Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $0.10 per share and a net charge for special tax items of $0.02 per share.

28

2016 vs. 2015

Net sales increased during 2016 when compared with 2015 due to increases across all segments. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in the marine parts and accessories businesses as well as solid growth in outboard engines. Both of these categories benefited from favorable market conditions and market share gains while sterndrive engines declined, reflecting unfavorable demand trends. Boat segment net sales increased due to strong growth rates in fiberglass outboard boats as well as solid growth rates in aluminum boats. Fitness segment net sales increased, reflecting the benefit of recent acquisitions and growth in international markets while revenues in the U.S. increased modestly. International net sales for the Company increased 10 percent in 2016 on both a GAAP basis and on a constant currency basis when compared with 2015, driven by strong increases in European and Asia-Pacific markets, partially offset by decreases in Latin America, especially Brazil, and Africa and the Middle East.

Gross margin percentage increased slightly in 2016 when compared with the same prior year period related to benefits from volume increases and cost reductions, including benefits from efficiency and sourcing initiatives as well as lower commodity costs, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased as a percentage of net sales during 2016 when compared with 2015, mainly due to higher net sales partially offset by increases related to acquisitions and investments to support growth.

Research and development expense increased as a percentage of sales in 2016 when compared with 2015 as the Company continued to increase its funding of investments in new products.

In 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $55.1 million and $82.3 million, respectively, of charges related to pension settlement payments as discussed in Note 17 –Postretirement Benefits in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

During 2016, the Company recorded restructuring, integration and impairment charges of $15.2 million compared with $4.7 million in 2015. See Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Net interest expense decreased slightly in 2016 compared with 2015.

The Company recognized an income tax provision in 2016 of $116.4 million, which included a net charge of $1.1 million primarily associated with the impact of recent changes in tax law partially offset by the reassessment of tax reserves and favorable valuation allowance adjustments. The Company recognized an income tax provision of $83.9 million in 2015, which included a net tax benefit of $12.1 million, primarily associated with the internal restructuring of foreign entities and settling prior year audits. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax benefit or provision as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 29.9 percent and 26.7 percent for 2016 and 2015, respectively. See Note 12 –Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Operating earnings, Net earnings from continuing operations and Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations increased in 2016 when compared with 2015, primarily due to the factors discussed in the preceding paragraphs. Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations also benefited from the impact of common stock repurchases.

Diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share, as adjusted, increased by $0.57 per share, or 20 percent, to $3.46 per share for 2016 when compared with $2.89 per share for 2015, and included adjustments for the following items in 2016: Pension settlement charge of $0.38 per share, Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $0.10 per share and a net charge for special tax items of $0.02 per share.

__________

bpts = basis points

2017 vs. 2016

Marine Engine segment net sales increased in 2017 versus 2016 due to strong growth in both outboard engines and the marine parts and accessories businesses. Outboard engines benefited from a favorable market environment, particularly for higher horsepower engines, and continued benefits from market share gains, including benefits from recently launched products. The marine parts and accessories businesses benefited from the successful execution of the Company's international growth strategy, recent acquisitions and new product launches. Partially offsetting these factors was a decrease in sterndrive engine net sales due to the continuing shift to outboards which is contributing to unfavorable global retail demand trends. Acquisitions completed in 2017 and 2016 accounted for 1 percentage point of the Marine Engine segment's overall revenue growth rate in 2017. International net sales were 30 percent of the segment's net sales in 2017, and increased 10 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 9 percent in 2017, which included gains in all international markets, with the strongest increases in Canada, Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Marine Engine segment operating earnings increased in 2017 as a result of higher net sales and favorable changes in product mix, partially offset by planned increases in growth investments in advance of new product introductions and the resolution of litigation in the fourth quarter of 2017.

2016 vs. 2015

Net sales for the Marine Engine segment increased in 2016 when compared with 2015. The increase was mainly due to strong growth in the marine parts and accessories businesses, which included benefits from favorable market trends, market share gains, acquisitions during 2016 and 2015 and new product launches. The segment also experienced a solid increase in outboard engine net sales, driven by continued favorable retail demand trends in overall U.S. and European markets and market share gains, including benefits from recently launched products. The segment reported a decrease in sterndrive engine net sales due mostly to the continuing shift to outboards and unfavorable global retail demand trends.Acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2015 accounted for 1 percentage point of the Marine Engine segment's overall revenue growth rate in 2016. International net sales were 32 percent of the segment's net sales in 2016, and increased 4 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 5 percent in 2016, which included gains in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Canada, partially offset by declines in Africa and the Middle East and Latin America.

Marine Engine segment operating earnings increased in 2016 as a result of higher net sales and cost reductions, including benefits from efficiency and sourcing initiatives as well as lower commodity costs. Partially offsetting these factors were an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange and growth-related investments including new product development activities.

(A) See Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

2017 vs. 2016

Boat segment net sales increased in 2017 versus 2016 as a result of strong growth in the aluminum and fiberglass outboard boat businesses and growth in both domestic and international markets. Net sales benefited from increased global wholesale unit shipments as well as higher average selling prices, as customers continued to migrate to boats with more content and higher horsepower engines. An acquisition completed in 2016 accounted for 1 percentage point of the Boat segment's overall revenue growth rate in 2017.International net sales were 27 percent of the segment's net sales in 2017, an increase of 14 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis.On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 13 percent when compared with the same prior year period, mainly due to net sales increases in Canada, Europe, Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

Boat segment operating earnings increased in 2017 when compared with 2016 due to higher sales and margin gains partially stemming from improved operating efficiencies, partly offset by increased restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges mostly associated with the closure of the manufacturing facility in Brazil.

2016 vs. 2015

Boat segment net sales increased in 2016 when compared with 2015 due to growth in fiberglass outboard and aluminum boats. Net sales growth benefited from higher average selling prices, resulting from a favorable shift in mix as well as a slight increase in global wholesale unit shipments, which was slightly below global retail unit growth for the year. Additionally, net sales benefited from recently introduced new products and market share gains. An acquisition completed in 2016 accounted for 1 percentage point of the Boat segment's overall revenue growth rate in 2016. International net sales were 27 percent of the segment's net sales in 2016, a decrease of 3 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales decreased 2 percent when compared with the same prior year period, mainly due to net sales decreases in Latin America, especially Brazil, Canada and Africa and the Middle East, partially offset by increases in the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions.

Boat segment operating earnings increased in 2016 when compared with 2015 as a result of higher net sales and benefits from a favorable shift in sales mix, lower commodity costs and savings related to sourcing initiatives. These factors were partially offset by increases in revenue and profit-enhancing investments.

(B) Operating earnings includes a $13.5 million charge for costs related to field campaigns pertaining to certain Cybex products designed prior to the acquisition.

2017 vs. 2016

Fitness segment net sales increased in 2017 when compared with 2016 due primarily to growth in international markets including benefits from the ICG acquisition. Growth in sales to value-oriented franchise clubs continues to be offset by declines in sales to traditional clubs and certain vertical markets. Acquisitions completed in 2016 accounted for 3 percentage points of growth in 2017. International net sales were 46 percent of the segment's net sales in 2017 and increased 9 percent compared with the prior year on both a GAAP basis and on a constant currency basis due to strength across most international markets, especially Asia-Pacific and Europe, partially offset by slight declines in Canada.

Fitness segment operating earnings decreased in 2017 when compared with the prior year resulting from lower margins, reflecting several factors, including higher restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, costs associated with product field campaigns for certain Cybex products, higher costs including freight, particularly in the fourth quarter, the impact of planned costs associated with capacity expansions and new products, more challenging competitive dynamics in certain international markets and unfavorable changes in sales mix, partially offset by higher sales and cost reduction initiatives.

2016 vs. 2015

Fitness segment net sales increased in 2016 when compared with 2015. Acquisitions completed in 2016 and 2015 contributed 19 percentage points to the Fitness segment's revenue growth rate in 2016. Net sales also benefited from overall growth in international markets as well as modest growth in the U.S., reflecting increased sales to commercial fitness customers including the impact of declines in sales to local and federal governments. International net sales were 45 percent of the segment's net sales in 2016 and increased 19 percent compared with the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions, the segment's international net sales increased 7 percent when compared with the prior year due to strength in Asia-Pacific and Europe, partially offset by slight declines in other international markets.

Fitness segment operating earnings increased slightly in 2016 when compared with the prior year. The increase was primarily due to higher net sales and completed acquisitions in 2016, mostly offset by increased restructuring and integration costs, increases in growth-related investments, a net unfavorable impact of sales mix and purchase accounting adjustments related to the three acquisitions completed since 2015.

Corporate operating expenses increased in 2017 compared with 2016 and increased in 2016 compared with 2015 primarily due to project and other growth initiative related spending, including investments in technology solutions and IT enhancements.

Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth an analysis of free cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015:

(in millions)	2017			2016			2015
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations	$	417.2		$	423.5		$	340.2
Net cash provided by (used for):
Capital expenditures	(189.3		)	(172.5		)	(114.1		)
Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment	8.3			1.9			2.4
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	6.9			0.1			(15.6		)
Total free cash flow from continuing operations (A)	$	243.1		$	253.0		$	212.9

(A) The Company defines “Free cash flow from continuing operations” 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 from continuing operations 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 tools that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Free cash flow from continuing operations” 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.

2017 Cash Flow

In 2017, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $417.2 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expense items. An increase in working capital had a negative effect on net cash provided by operating activities. 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets excluding the impact of acquisitions. Net inventories increased by $65.6 million to support higher sales volumes and Accounts receivable increased by $58.1 million as a result of strong sales in the fourth quarter. Partially offsetting these items were increases in Accrued expenses of $47.0 million and Accounts payable of $34.7 due to higher expenditure levels and timing of payments.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations during 2017 totaled $165.2 million, which included capital expenditures of $189.3 million. The Company's capital spending was focused on new product introductions, capacity expansion and other profit enhancing projects in all segments. Cash paid for the acquisition of Lankhorst Taselaar, net of cash acquired, was $15.5 million. See Note 4 –Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's acquisitions. Net cash used for investing activities also included $35.0 million of maturities of marketable securities and Proceeds from the sale of Property, plant and equipment of $8.3 million. See Note 9 –Investments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's investments.

33

Cash flows used for financing activities of continuing operations totaled $202.2 million during 2017 and included common stock repurchases and cash dividends paid to common stock shareholders.

2016 Cash Flow

In 2016, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $423.5 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expense items. An increase in working capital had a negative effect on net cash provided by operating activities. Net inventories increased by $40.4 million due to increases in production to support higher sales volumes. Accrued expenses decreased $17.3 million which included the impact of the payments of deferred compensation in connection with executive management transitions. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in Accounts payable of $34.8 million, which was partially due to the timing of payments.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations during 2016 totaled $464.6 million, which included capital expenditures of $172.5 million. The Company's capital spending was focused on new product introductions, capacity expansion projects in all segments and other high priority, profit-enhancing projects. Cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, totaled $276.1 million. See Note 4 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's acquisitions. Additionally, the Company had net purchases of marketable securities of $24.3 million during the year. See Note 9 – Investments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's investments.

Cash flows used for financing activities of continuing operations were $185.4 million during 2016 and included common stock repurchases and cash dividends paid to common stock shareholders.

2015 Cash Flow

In 2015, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $340.2 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expense items. An increase in working capital had a negative effect on net cash provided by operating activities. Accrued expenses decreased $31.9 million during 2015, primarily driven by a reduction in insurance reserves related to the settlement of a product liability matter that was mostly offset by a related reduction in accounts receivable reflecting the receipt of insurance proceeds, as well as a reduction in accrued payroll costs due to timing of payrolls. Accounts and notes receivable increased $11.4 million, primarily driven by higher fourth quarter sales across all segments. Net inventories increased $9.6 million due to increases in production to support higher sales volumes and new product introductions; however, increases were at a lower rate than the prior year.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations during 2015 totaled $68.8 million, which included capital expenditures of $114.1 million. The Company's capital spending was focused on new product introductions, capacity expansion projects in all segments, and other high priority, profit-enhancing projects. Cash paid for acquisitions totaled $29.7 million. See Note 4 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's acquisitions. The Company had net proceeds from marketable securities of $71.7 million in 2015. See Note 9 – Investments in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's investments.

Cash flows used for financing activities of continuing operations were $175.5 million during 2015 and included common stock repurchases and cash dividends paid to common stock shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company views its highly liquid assets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 as:

(in millions)	2017		2016
Cash and cash equivalents	$	448.8	$	422.4
Short-term investments in marketable securities	0.8		35.8
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	449.6	$	458.2

The following table sets forth an analysis of Total liquidity as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:

(in millions)	2017		2016
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	449.6	$	458.2
Amounts available under lending facilities(A)	295.7		295.7
Total liquidity (B)	$	745.3	$	753.9

(A) In June 2016, the Company amended and restated its existing credit agreement, dated as of March 2011, as amended and restated as of June 2014. See Note 16 –Debt in the Notes to 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 $449.6 million as of December 31, 2017, a decrease of $8.6 million from $458.2 million as of December 31, 2016. Total debt as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $437.4 million and $439.4 million, respectively.  The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio improved to 22.8 percent as of December 31, 2017, from 23.4 percent as of December 31, 2016.

Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to meet the Company's short-term and long-term needs. The next significant long-term debt maturity is not until 2021.

The Company has executed share repurchases against authorizations approved by the Board of Directors in 2014 and 2016. In 2017, the Company repurchased $130 million of stock under these authorizations and as of December 31, 2017, the remaining authorization was $110 million. The Company plans to repurchase approximately $100 million of shares in 2018, which may be adjusted based on available cash and other investment opportunities.

Quarterly dividend payments included in the 2018 plan are consistent with current levels. However, the Company may increase these levels as earnings and cash flows improve, consistent with its capital strategy.

The Company is projecting an increase in net earnings in 2018 when compared with 2017. Net activity in working capital is projected to reflect a usage of cash in 2018 in the range of $20 million to $40 million. Additionally, the Company is planning for capital expenditures of approximately $215 million to $225 million, 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 these and other factors, the Company plans to generate free cash flow in 2018 in excess of $275 million.

Included in the cash flow projections are contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of approximately $70 million to $75 million in 2018. These amounts may be adjusted for several factors, including actions to accelerate our de-risking activities, increasing contributions to generate higher deductions at a more favorable statutory rate as a result of U.S. tax reform, market conditions, pension funding regulations and Company discretion. The Company contributed $70.0 million to its qualified defined benefit pension plans both in 2017 and 2016. The Company also contributed $3.7 million and $4.6 million to fund benefit payments from its nonqualified defined benefit pension plan in 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The aggregate funded status of the Company's qualified defined benefit pension plans, measured as a percentage of the projected benefit obligation, was approximately 80 percent at December 31, 2017 compared with approximately 78 percent at

35

December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2017, the Company's qualified defined benefit pension plans were underfunded on an aggregate projected benefit obligation basis by $137.6 million which represented a $61.5 million improvement from 2016. This improvement was due to strong asset returns and contributions of $70 million, which more than outpaced the impact of interest on plan liabilities. See Note 17 –Postretirement Benefitsin the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Income Taxes

The Company expects its cash tax rate to be in the high-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. The estimated 2018 cash tax rate also includes the impacts of an anticipated refund resulting from over-payments in 2017.

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 assertion as of December 31, 2017. The Company is considering remitting cash back to the U.S. in 2018 from non-U.S. subsidiaries and as such, the Company will no longer assert that it is permanently reinvested in any non-U.S. subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017. These remittances would be considered dividends and under changes made by the TCJA these dividends would be subject to a 100 percent dividend received deduction and 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

Refer to Note 10 –Financial Services in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Company's financial services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees. The Company has reserves to cover potential losses associated with guarantees and repurchase obligations based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Historical cash requirements and losses associated with these obligations have not been significant. See Note 13 –Commitments and Contingenciesin the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of these arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

The following table sets forth a summary of the Company's contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2017:

	Payments due by period
(in millions)	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years
Contractual Obligations
Debt (A)	$	443.4	$	5.6	$	11.7	$	153.6	$	272.5
Interest payments on long-term debt	189.9		26.2		52.4		45.4		65.9
Operating leases (B)	152.4		37.6		55.4		27.2		32.2
Purchase obligations (C)	230.3		228.6		1.2		0.5		—
Deferred management compensation (D)	43.9		4.8		2.0		2.0		35.1
Other long-term liabilities (E)	165.3		16.8		95.3		32.7		20.5
Total contractual obligations	$	1,225.2	$	319.6	$	218.0	$	261.4	$	426.2

(A) See Note 16 –Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Company's debt. “Debt” refers to future cash principal payments. Debt also includes the Company's capital leases as discussed in Note 21 –Leasesin the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

(B) See Note 21 –Leases in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

(C) Purchase obligations represent agreements with suppliers and vendors at the end of 2017 for raw materials and other supplies as part of the normal course of business.

(D) Amounts primarily represent long-term deferred compensation plans for Company management. Payments are assumed to be equal to the remaining liability.

36

(E) Other long-term liabilities include amounts recorded as secured obligations for lease and other long-term receivables originated by the Company and assigned to third parties where the transfer of assets do not meet the conditions for a sale as a result of the Company's contingent obligation to repurchase the receivables in the event of customer non-payment. Amounts above also include obligations under deferred revenue arrangements and future projected payments related to the Company's nonqualified pension plans. The Company is not required to make any contributions to the qualified pension plan in 2017; however, $3.7 million of scheduled retiree health care and life insurance benefit plan payments due within one year are included in other long-term liabilities. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the potential future cash outflows associated with these plans, the Company is unable to provide a reasonably reliable estimate of the amounts and periods in which any additional liabilities might be paid beyond 2017.

Legal Proceedings

See Note 13 –Commitments and Contingenciesin the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure related to certain legal and environmental proceedings.

Environmental Regulation

In its Marine Engine segment, Brunswick continues to develop engine technologies to reduce engine emissions to comply with current and future emissions requirements. The Boat segment continues to pursue fiberglass boat manufacturing technologies and techniques to reduce air emissions at its boat manufacturing facilities. The costs associated with these activities may have an adverse effect on segment operating margins and may affect short-term operating results. Environmental regulatory bodies in the United States and other countries may impose more stringent emissions standards and/or other environmental regulatory requirements than are currently in effect. Using its environmental management system processes, the Company complies with current regulations and expects to comply fully with any new regulations; compliance will most likely increase the cost of these products for the Company and the industry, but is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Brunswick's competitive position.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. If current estimates for the cost of resolving any specific matters are later determined to be inadequate, results of operations could be adversely affected in the period in which additional provisions are required. The Company has discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and believes the following are the most critical accounting policies that could have an effect on Brunswick's reported results.

Revenue Recognition and Sales Incentives. Brunswick's revenue is derived primarily from the sale of marine engines, marine parts and accessories, boats, fitness equipment and active recreation products. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the sale, primarily upon shipment to customers, once the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Brunswick offers discounts and sales incentives that include retail promotions and rebates that are recorded as reductions of revenues in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated liability and reduction in revenues for sales incentives is recorded at the later of when the program has been communicated to the customer or at the time of sale. Revenues from freight are included as a part of Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, whereas shipping, freight and handling costs are included in Cost of sales.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a final standard on revenue recognition that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. Refer to Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policiesin the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the new revenue recognition standard which will be effective beginning January 1, 2018.

Warranty Reserves. The Company records an estimated liability for product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The liability is estimated using historical warranty experience, projected claim rates and expected costs per claim. The Company adjusts its liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated. The Company's warranty liabilities are affected by product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, the Company must make a revision to the warranty liability.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets primarily result from business acquisitions. The excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired is recorded as goodwill. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. All three of the Company's reporting units have a goodwill balance.

37

For 2017, the impairment test for goodwill was a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In this second step, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill.  

For both 2016 and 2015, the Company determined through qualitative assessment that it was not “more likely than not” that the fair values of its reporting units are less than their carrying values; as a result, the Company was not required to perform the two-step impairment test in either year. The Company did not record any goodwill impairments in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

The Company calculates the fair value of its reporting units considering both the income approach and the guideline public company method.  The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing a Gordon Growth model. Internally forecasted future cash flows, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate) developed for each reporting unit. The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, as well as considering whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific reporting unit’s forecasted performance. Fair value under the guideline public company method is determined for each unit by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the unit’s financial results. The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in determining the reporting unit’s forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and operating margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts, along with selecting representative market multiples.

The Company's primary intangible assets are customer relationships and trade names acquired in business combinations. The costs of amortizable intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful lives, typically between three and sixteen years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate long-lived assets described below. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of trade names is measured using a relief-from-royalty approach, which assumes the value of the trade name is the discounted cash flows of the amount that would be paid to third parties had the Company not owned the trade name and instead licensed the trade name from another company. Higher royalty rates are assigned to premium brands within the marketplace based on name recognition and profitability, while other brands receive lower royalty rates. The basis for future cash flow projections are based on internal revenue forecasts by brand, which the Company believes represent reasonable market participant assumptions, to which the selected royalty rate is applied. These future cash flows are discounted using the applicable Discount Rate as well as any potential risk premium to reflect the inherent risk of holding a standalone intangible asset. The key uncertainties in this calculation are the selection of an appropriate royalty rate and assumptions used in developing internal revenue growth forecasts, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts in determining the Discount Rate.

The Company recorded a $13.9 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment during 2017 related to the Cybex trade name. Refer to Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. The Company did not record impairments for indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2016 and 2015.

Refer to Note 11 –Goodwill and Other Intangibles in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Long-Lived Assets. The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets--excluding goodwill and indefinite-lived trade names--and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. Once an impairment indicator is identified, the Company tests for recoverability of the related asset group using an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the remaining asset group's life. If an asset group's carrying value is not recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset group over the long-lived asset group's fair value. Fair value is determined using observable inputs, including the use of appraisals from independent third parties, when available, and, when observable inputs are not available, based on the Company's assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company uses discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs are unavailable. The Company tested its long-lived asset balances for impairment as indicators arose during 2017, 2016 or 2015, resulting in impairment charges of $0.1 million, $2.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which are recognized in either Restructuring, integration and impairment charges or Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

38

Litigation. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims and litigation, including obligations assumed or retained as part of acquisitions and divestitures. The Company accrues for litigation based upon its assessment, made in consultation with counsel, of the likely range of exposure stemming from the claim. In light of existing reserves, the Company's litigation claims, when finally resolved, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Environmental. The Company accrues for environmental remediation-related activities for which commitments or clean-up plans have been developed and for which costs can be reasonably estimated. Accrued amounts are generally determined in coordination with third-party experts on an undiscounted basis and do not consider recoveries from third parties until such recoveries are realized. In light of existing reserves, the Company's environmental claims, when finally resolved, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Postretirement Benefit Reserves. Postretirement costs and obligations are actuarially determined and are affected by assumptions, including the discount rate, the estimated future return on plan assets, the increase in costs of health care benefits, mortality assumptions and other factors. The Company evaluates assumptions used on a periodic basis and makes adjustments to these liabilities as necessary.

Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company evaluates the realizability of net deferred tax assets and, as necessary, records valuation allowances against them. The Company estimates its tax obligations based on historical experience and current tax laws and litigation. The judgments made at any point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits and settlements of tax litigation, as well as changes due to new tax laws and regulations and the Company's application of those laws and regulations. These factors may cause the Company's tax rate and deferred tax balances to increase or decrease. The Company's income tax provision included net charges of $71.8 million as a result of U.S. tax reform. See Note 12 –Income Taxesin Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the year ended December 31, 2017, or will be adopted in future periods.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. The Company enters into various hedging transactions to mitigate these risks in accordance with guidelines established by the Company's management. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage foreign exchange rate exposure related to anticipated transactions, and assets and liabilities that are subject to risk from foreign currency rate changes. The Company's principal currency exposures relate to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, British pound and Brazilian real. The Company hedges certain anticipated transactions with financial instruments whose maturity date, along with the realized gain or loss, occurs on or near the execution of the anticipated transaction. The Company manages foreign currency exposure of certain assets or liabilities through the use of derivative financial instruments such that the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument offsets the loss or gain recognized on the underlying asset or liability, respectively.

Certain raw materials the Company uses are exposed to the effect of changing commodity prices. Accordingly, the Company may use commodity swap agreements, futures contracts and supplier agreements to manage fluctuations in prices of anticipated purchases of certain raw materials, including aluminum, copper, natural gas and steel. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no outstanding derivative financial instruments related to commodities.

From time-to-time, the Company enters into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the future issuance of long-term debt. There were no forward-starting interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2017 and 2016. The Company uses fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from fixed-to-floating rate debt. An interest rate swap is entered into with the expectation that the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap will offset the change in the fair value of the debt instrument attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Each period, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap asset or liability is recorded as a change in the fair value of the corresponding debt instrument.

39

The following analyses provide quantitative information regarding the Company's exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk as it relates to its derivative financial instruments. The Company uses a model to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value of financial instruments with exposure to market risk that assumes instantaneous, parallel shifts in exchange rates. For options and instruments with nonlinear returns, models appropriate to the instrument are utilized to determine the impact of market shifts. There are certain shortcomings inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented, primarily due to the assumption that exchange rates change in a parallel fashion.

The amounts shown below represent the estimated reduction in fair market value that the Company would incur on its derivative financial instruments from a 10 percent adverse change in quoted foreign currency rates and interest rates.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Brunswick Corporation

Mettawa, Illinois

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Brunswick Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017, of the Company and our report dated February 20, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) has prepared its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. As stated in Note 2 –Discontinued Operations, Brunswick's results as discussed in the financial statements reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.

Principles of Consolidation. Brunswick's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These estimates affect:

•The reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements;

• The disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and

•The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Estimates in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:

•Allowances for doubtful accounts;

•Inventory valuation reserves;

•Reserves for dealer allowances;

•Reserves related to repurchase and recourse obligations;

•Warranty related reserves;

•Losses on litigation and other contingencies;

•Environmental reserves;

•Insurance reserves;

•Valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets;

•Impairments of long-lived assets;

•Reserves related to restructuring, exit and integration activities;

•Postretirement benefit liabilities;

•Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; and

•Income tax reserves.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. These investments include, but are not limited to, investments in money market funds, bank deposits, federal government and agency debt securities and commercial paper.

Investments in Marketable Securities. The Company classifies investments in debt securities that are not considered to be cash equivalents as Short-term investments in marketable securities as discussed in Note 9 –Investments. Short-term investments in marketable securities have a stated maturity of twelve months or less from the balance sheet date. These securities are considered as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses would be recorded net of tax as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in Unrealized investment losses within Shareholders' equity. Declines in market value from the original cost deemed to be "other-than-temporary" are charged to Other income, net, in the period in which the loss occurs. The Company considers both the duration for which a decline in value has occurred and the extent of the decline in its determination of whether a decline in value has been “other than temporary.” Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the specific identification method and are included in Other income, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Restricted Cash. The Company considers the cash deposited in a trust that is pledged as collateral against certain workers' compensation-related obligations to be restricted cash. Refer to Note 13 –Commitments and Contingencies for more information.

Accounts and Notes Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company carries its accounts and notes receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a regular basis, the Company records an allowance for uncollectible receivables based upon known bad debt risks and past loss history, customer payment practices and economic conditions. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of net receivables. A change to the allowance for doubtful accounts

55

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

may be required if a future event or other change in circumstances results in a change in the estimate of the ultimate collectability of a specific account.

The Company treats the sale of receivables in which the Company retains an interest as a secured obligation. Accordingly, the short-term portion of the receivables sold that are subject to recourse is recorded in Accounts and notes receivable and Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value equal to the estimated selling price less the estimated costs to transact. Approximately 54 percent and 51 percent of the Company's inventories were determined by the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Remaining inventories valued at the last-in, first-out method (LIFO) were $124.9 million and $123.0 million lower than the FIFO cost of inventories at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Inventory cost includes material, labor and manufacturing overhead. There were no liquidations of LIFO inventory layers in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

Property. Property, including major improvements and product tooling costs, is recorded at cost. Product tooling costs principally comprise the cost to acquire and construct various long-lived molds, dies and other tooling the Company uses in its manufacturing processes. Design and prototype development costs associated with product tooling are expensed as incurred. Maintenance and repair costs are also expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated service lives of the related assets, principally using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over a useful life of five to forty years. Equipment is depreciated over a useful life of two to twenty years. Product tooling costs are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the tooling or the anticipated life of the applicable product, for a period up to eight years. The Company capitalizes interest on qualifying assets during the construction period and capitalized $4.6 million and $2.6 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company presents capital expenditures on a cash basis within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. There were $31.0 million and $35.8 million of unpaid capital expenditures within Accounts payable as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company includes gains and losses recognized on the sale and disposal of property in either Selling, general and administrative expenses or Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges as appropriate. The amount of gains and losses for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

(in millions)	2017			2016			2015
Gains on the sale of property	$	0.7		$	0.4		$	1.1
Losses on the sale and disposal of property	(2.3		)	(0.5		)	(2.0		)
Net losses on sale and disposal of property	$	(1.6	)	$	(0.1	)	$	(0.9	)

Software Development Costs. The Company expenses all software development and implementation costs incurred until the Company has determined that the software will result in probable future economic benefit and management has committed to funding the project. Once this is determined, external direct costs of material and services, payroll-related costs of employees working on the project and related interest costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. These capitalized costs are amortized over three to seven years. All other related costs, including training costs and costs to re-engineer business processes, are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets primarily result from business acquisitions. The Company records the excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired as goodwill. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value.

For 2017, the impairment test for goodwill was a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In this second step, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill.  

The Company calculates the fair value of its reporting units considering both the income approach and the guideline public company method.  The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing a Gordon Growth model.  Internally forecasted future cash flows, which the Company believes reasonably approximate

56

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate) developed for each reporting unit.  The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, and considers whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific reporting unit’s forecasted performance.  Fair value under the guideline public company method is determined for each unit by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the unit’s financial results.  The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in a reporting unit’s forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and operating margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts, and selecting representative market multiples.

For 2016 and 2015, the Company determined through qualitative assessment that the fair values of its reporting units were “more likely than not” greater than their carrying values. As a result, the Company was not required to perform the two-step impairment test. The Company did not record any goodwill impairments in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

The Company's primary intangible assets are customer relationships, trade names and patents and proprietary technology acquired in business combinations. The costs of amortizable intangible assets are recognized over their expected useful lives, typically between three and sixteen years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate long-lived assets described below. Intangible assets not subject to amortization, including trade names, are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of trade names is measured using a relief-from-royalty approach, which assumes the value of the trade name is the discounted cash flows of the amount that would be paid to third parties had the Company not owned the trade name and instead licensed the trade name from another company. Higher royalty rates are assigned to premium brands within the marketplace based on name recognition and profitability, while other brands receive lower royalty rates. The basis for future sales projections is internal revenue forecasts by brand, which the Company believes represent reasonable market participant assumptions, to which the selected royalty rate is applied. The resulting cash flows are discounted using an applicable Discount Rate which includes any potential risk premium to reflect the inherent risk of holding a standalone intangible asset.

The Company recorded a $13.9 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment during 2017 related to the Cybex trade name. Refer to Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities for further details. The Company did not record impairments for indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2016 and 2015.

Refer to Note 11 –Goodwill and Other Intangibles for more information.

Equity Investments. For investments in which the Company owns or controls from 20 percent to 50 percent of the voting shares, the Company uses the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of net earnings or losses from equity method investments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for other investments, over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the cost method of accounting. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments. See Note 9 –Investments for further details about the Company's evaluation of the fair value of its investments.

Long-Lived Assets. The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. Once an impairment indicator is identified, the Company tests for recoverability of the related asset group using an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the asset group's remaining life. If an asset group's carrying value is not recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset group over the long-lived asset group's fair value. Fair value is determined using observable inputs, including the use of appraisals from independent third parties, when available, and, when observable inputs are not available, based on the Company's assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company uses discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs are unavailable. The Company tested its long-lived asset balances for impairment as indicators arose during 2017, 2016 and 2015, resulting in impairment charges of $0.1 million, $2.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which are recognized either in Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges or Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Long-Term Assets. Other long-term assets consists mainly of long-term receivables originated by the Company and assigned to third parties, long-term pension assets and other long-term receivables and deposits. As of December 31, 2017 and

57

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

2016, amounts assigned to third parties totaled $30.2 million and $29.0 million, respectively. The assignment of these instruments does not meet sale criteria as a result of the Company's contingent obligation to repurchase the receivables in the event of customer non-payment and therefore is treated as a secured obligation. Accordingly, these amounts were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under Other long-term assets and Long-term liabilities – Other.

Revenue Recognition. Brunswick's revenue is derived primarily from the sale of boats, marine engines, marine parts and accessories, fitness equipment and active recreation products. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the sale, primarily upon shipment to customers, once the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Brunswick offers discounts and sales incentives that include retail promotions and rebates that are recorded as reductions of revenues in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated liability and reduction in revenue for sales incentives is recorded at the later of when the program has been communicated to the customer or at the time of sale. Revenues from freight are included as a part of Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, whereas shipping, freight and handling costs are included in Cost of sales.

Advertising Costs. The Company records advertising and promotion costs in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period when the advertising first takes place. Advertising and promotion costs were $29.9 million, $26.5 million and $28.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Foreign Currency. The functional currency for the majority of Brunswick's operations is the U.S. dollar. All assets and liabilities of operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at period end current rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. Revenues and expenses of operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded in either Cost of sales or Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Trademark Licensing Agreement. On September 18, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its retail bowling business to AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. (AMF) and entered into a trademark licensing agreement, allowing AMF to use the Company's retail trademarks and trade names over a five year period from the date of sale. As a result, the Company recorded deferred income of $20.7 million related to this agreement, which will be recognized as Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over five years.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company records amounts for all share-based compensation, including grants of stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock awards and performance-based share awards over the vesting period in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based upon their fair values at the date of the grant. Share-based compensation costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 18 –Stock Plans and Management Compensation for a description of the Company's accounting for share-based compensation plans.

Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Derivatives. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risk associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. These instruments are used in accordance with guidelines established by the Company's management and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. See Note 14 –Financial Instruments for further discussion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  The following recent accounting pronouncements have been adopted during 2017 or will be adopted in future periods.

Hedge Accounting: In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 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.

Presentation of Benefit Costs: In March 2017, the FASB amended the 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 amendments require entities to present the current-service-cost component with other current compensation costs in the income statement and present the other components outside of income from operations. The amendment is effective for interim and annual

58

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

periods beginning after December 15, 2017, 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.

Statements of Cash Flows Classifications: In August 2016, the FASB 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 is currently evaluating the impact it will have on its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Share-Based Compensation:In March 2016, the FASB amended the ASC to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2017, and recognized $7.9 million of net excess tax benefits related to share-based payments in the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017. These net excess tax benefits were historically recorded in additional paid-in capital when recognized. Additionally, the Company adopted the amendment retrospectively for presentation of net excess tax benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, resulting in an increase of $13.4 million and $7.0 million in both Net cash provided by operating activities and Net cash used for financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company also elected to recognize forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. The remaining amendments, including those related to statutory withholding requirements, did not have a material impact.

Recognition of Leases: In February 2016, the FASB 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 continue to 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 consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued a final standard on revenue recognition which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This standard will supersede current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, entities are required to identify the contract with a customer; identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and recognize the appropriate amount of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies each performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB amended the ASC to delay the effective date to fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2018, from the original effective date of January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted no earlier than January 1, 2017. Entities have the option of using either retrospective transition or a modified retrospective approach in applying the new standard.

The Company will use the modified retrospective approach in applying the new standard. There are no significant implementation matters that have yet to be addressed. The Company determined that the standard does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The cumulative net adjustment to the 2018 beginning Retained earnings balance is expected to be less than $35 million. The most meaningful changes will be in the Fitness and Boat segments. In the Boat segment, certain customers are offered retail promotions that are currently recorded at the later of when the program has been communicated to the customer or at the time of sale. Under the new standard, these promotions will now be estimated and recognized at the time of sale, primarily upon shipment to customers. In the Fitness segment, certain customer contracts include product rebates recorded in cost of sales at the time of sale. Under the new standard, the Company will no longer record the rebate at the time of sale; however, a portion of revenue will be deferred and not recognized until the rebate is redeemed. As a result, there are changes in the timing of recording certain promotions and rebates, including but not limited to those described above, however, there are no changes in the total amount of cumulative revenue recognized for each transaction.

Note 2 –Discontinued Operations

On December 5, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Sea Ray businesses, including the Meridian brand, as a result of, among other things, a change in strategic direction and a review of the expected future cash flows, market conditions and business trends. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in reaching its decision to report these businesses as discontinued operations, with key factors including: the exit is part of the Company's strategic shift to focus on outboard boat categories; represents a material portfolio shift and reduction in the boat segment revenues; and represents the exit from substantially all of its boat brands participating in the inboard/sterndrive boat category, particularly large and premium offerings. In addition, the Company has determined that exiting the Sea Ray business represents a material strategic shift, with

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

commensurate impacts on Brunswick’s operations and financial results. The Company commenced its process to sell the Sea Ray business in December 2017 and is targeting completion of the sales process in the first half of 2018.

As a result, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. Additionally, these businesses, which were previously reported in the Company's Boat segment, are being reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. General allocations of corporate overhead and Boat segment shared services costs are not included in these results.

In conjunction with the decision to classify the Sea Ray assets and liabilities as held for sale, the Company evaluated the disposal group's fair value, less costs to sell, and compared that to its carrying value. The fair value of the disposal group, which was determined using market data for a similar transaction (a Level 3 input) as well as a discounted cash flow analysis (a Level 3 input), was determined to be less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $36.0 million, $23.8 million after-tax, primarily related to an impairment of long-lived assets in the fourth quarter of 2017. This charge is based on estimated proceeds from the sale which may differ from actual proceeds.

On July 17, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its retail bowling business to AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. In connection with its decision to sell its bowling centers, the Company also announced its intention to divest its bowling products business. As a result of these actions, these businesses were reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement or continuing cash flows associated with these businesses.

On May 22, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its bowling products business which yielded net cash proceeds of $42.2 million and an after-tax gain of $10.3 million.

The following table discloses the results of operations of the businesses reported as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities

The Company has announced and implemented a number of initiatives designed to improve its cost structure, better utilize overall capacity, improve general operating efficiencies and consolidate the operations of recently acquired businesses. These initiatives resulted in the recognition of restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2017, 2016 and 2015.

The costs incurred under these initiatives include:

•Restructuring and Exit Activities – These amounts relate to:

• Employee termination and other benefits

• Costs to retain and relocate employees

• Consulting costs

• Consolidation of manufacturing footprint

• Facility shutdown costs

•Asset Disposition and Impairment Actions – These amounts relate to sales and impairments of assets. Impairments of assets are recognized when the carrying amount of the asset is not expected to be fully recoverable. The impairments recognized were equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the estimated fair value of the asset, which was determined using observable inputs, including appraisals from independent third parties when available. When observable inputs were not available, estimated fair value was determined using the Company’s assumptions, including the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company used discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs were unavailable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

•Integration Activities – These amounts relate to professional fees for systems integration and deal costs, employee termination and benefits and other charges associated with integrating the operations of recently acquired businesses.

•Intangible Asset Impairments – These amounts relate to impairments of intangible assets recognized as a result of the Company's periodic impairment testing. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually, and all intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of an intangible asset may be below its carrying value. Refer to Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policies for further details about the Company's impairment testing procedures. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge for the Cybex trade name as a result of declining sales and operating performance. The Company used a relief-from-royalty analysis, a Level 3 input, to assess the fair value of the Cybex trade name. The impairment charge was recorded within the Fitness segment.

The Company has reported restructuring, exit, integration and impairment activities based on the specific driver of the cost and reflected the expense in the accounting period when the Company has committed to or incurred the cost, as appropriate. The following table is a summary of the net expense associated with the restructuring, exit, integration and impairment activities for 2017, 2016 and 2015. The 2017 charges related to actions initiated in 2017 and 2016. The 2016 charges related to actions initiated in 2016 and 2015. The 2015 charges related to actions initiated in 2015.

Note 5 –Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing Net earnings by the weighted average outstanding shares which includes 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 years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were calculated as follows:

(in millions, except per share data)	2017			2016		2015
Net earnings from continuing operations	$	187.3		$	272.6	$	230.9
Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	(40.9		)	3.4		10.5

Note 7 –Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs, for which there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Note 8 –Financing Receivables

The Company has recorded financing receivables, which are defined as a contractual right to receive money, as assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Substantially all of the Company’s financing receivables are for commercial customers, which includes receivables sold to third-party finance companies (Third-Party Receivables) and customer notes and other (Other Receivables). Third-Party Receivables are accounts that have been sold to third-party finance companies, but do not meet the definition of a true sale, and are therefore recorded as an asset with an offsetting balance recorded as a secured obligation in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities as discussed in Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policies. Other Receivables are mostly comprised of notes from customers, which are originated by the Company in the normal course of business. Financing receivables are carried at their face amounts less an allowance for credit losses.

The Company sells a broad range of recreational products to a worldwide customer base and extends credit to its customers based upon an ongoing credit evaluation program. The Company’s business units maintain credit organizations to manage financial exposure and perform credit risk assessments on an individual account basis. Accounts are not aggregated into categories for credit risk determinations. Due to the composition of the account portfolio, the Company does not believe that the credit risk posed by the Company’s financing receivables is significant to its operations, financial condition or cash flows. There were no significant troubled debt restructurings during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015.

Note 9 –Investments

Investments in Marketable Securities

The Company invests a portion of its cash reserves in marketable debt securities. These investments are reported in Short-term investments in marketable securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following is a summary of the fair values, which were equal to the amortized costs, of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, all due in one year or less, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:

(in millions)	2017		2016
Commercial Paper	$	—	$	35.0
U.S. Treasury Bills	0.8		0.8
Total available-for-sale securities	$	0.8	$	35.8

The Company had $35.0 million, $10.7 million and $109.8 million in maturities of available-for-sale securities during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company had no sales of available-for-sale securities during 2017 and 2016, and had $9.5 million of sales of available-for-sale securities during 2015.

At each reporting date, management reviews the debt securities to determine if any loss in the value of a security below its amortized cost should be considered “other-than-temporary.”  For the evaluation, management determines whether it intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the securities. This determination considers current and forecasted liquidity requirements, regulatory and capital requirements and the strategy for managing the Company’s securities portfolio. For all impaired debt securities for which there was no intent or expected requirement to sell, the evaluation considers all available evidence to assess whether it is likely the amortized cost value will be recovered. The Company also considers the nature of the securities, the credit rating or financial condition of the issuer, the extent and duration of the unrealized loss and market conditions.  As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no unrealized losses related to debt securities that required management evaluation.

Equity Investments

The Company has certain unconsolidated international and domestic affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method is applied in situations in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investees. Management reviews equity investments for impairment whenever indicators are present suggesting that the carrying value of an investment is not recoverable. The following items are examples of impairment indicators: significant, sustained declines in an investee’s revenue, earnings, and cash flow trends; adverse market conditions of the investee’s industry or geographic area; the investee’s inability to execute its operating plan; the investee’s ability to continue operations measured by several items, including liquidity; and other factors. Once an impairment indicator is identified, management uses considerable judgment to determine if the decline in value is other than temporary, in which case the equity investment is written down to its estimated fair value, which could negatively impact reported results of operations.

Refer to Note 10 –Financial Services for more details on the Company’s Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC joint venture.

In 2017, the Company contributed $2.1 million to fund a part ownership of TN-BC Holdings, LLC (TN-BC), a joint venture with TechNexus Holdings, LLC. Contributions to TN-BC are strategically invested in targeted growth opportunities determined by the joint venture's investment committee.

The Company also contributed $1.6 million, $1.0 million and $0.6 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to fund a part ownership of Mercury Finance, a joint venture between Brunswick's Mercury Marine division and Allied Credit, an Australian-based finance company.

Brunswick received $0.4 million in dividends from its unconsolidated affiliates in 2017 and did not receive any dividends from its unconsolidated affiliates in 2016 or 2015.

Note 10 –Financial Services

The Company, through its Brunswick Financial Services Corporation (BFS) subsidiary, owns a 49 percent interest in a joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC). CDF Ventures, LLC (CDFV), a subsidiary Wells Fargo and Company, owns the remaining 51 percent. Prior to March 1, 2016, GE Capital Corporation (GECC) owned CDFV. On March 1, 2016, GECC completed the sale of its Commercial Distribution Finance business, including CDFV and its interest in the BAC joint venture, to Wells Fargo & Company. The transaction did not have a material effect on BAC.

In June 2016, the parties amended the joint venture agreement to adjust a financial covenant that was conformed to the maximum leverage ratio test contained in the Credit Facility; as of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant under both the joint venture agreement and the Credit Facility as described in Note 16 –Debt. In July 2015, the parties extended the term of the BAC joint venture through December 31, 2019. The joint venture agreement contains provisions allowing for the renewal of the agreement or the purchase of the other party’s interest in the joint venture at the end of its term. Alternatively, either partner may terminate the agreement at the end of its term.

BAC is funded in part through a $1.0 billion secured borrowing facility from Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (WFCDF), which is in place through the term of the joint venture, and with equity contributions from both partners.  BAC also sells a portion of its receivables to a securitization facility, the Wells Fargo Dealer Floorplan Master Note Trust, which is arranged by Wells Fargo. The sales of these receivables meet the requirements of a “true sale” and are therefore not retained on the financial statements of BAC. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries guarantee the indebtedness of BAC. In addition, BAC is not responsible for any continuing servicing costs or obligations with respect to the securitized receivables. 

The Company considers BFS’s investment in BAC as an investment in a variable interest entity of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. To be considered the primary beneficiary, the Company must have the power to direct the activities of BAC that most significantly impact BAC’s economic performance and the Company must have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from BAC that could be potentially significant to BAC. Based on the Company's qualitative analysis, BFS did not meet the definition of a primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company accounts for BFS’s investment in BAC under the equity method and records it as a component of Equity investments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records BFS’s share of income or loss in BAC based on its ownership percentage in the joint venture in Equity earnings in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. BFS’s equity investment is adjusted monthly to maintain a 49 percent interest in accordance with the capital provisions of the joint venture agreement. The Company funds its investment in BAC through cash contributions and

reinvested earnings. BFS’s total investment in BAC at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $17.8 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

The Company’s maximum loss exposure relating to BAC is detailed as follows:

(in millions)	December 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
Investment	$	17.8		$	16.9
Repurchase and recourse obligations (A)	39.9			36.8
Liabilities (B)	(0.9		)	(1.0		)
Total maximum loss exposure	$	56.8		$	52.7

(A) Repurchase and recourse obligations are off-balance sheet obligations provided by the Company for the Boat and Marine Engine segments, respectively, and are included within the Maximum Potential Obligations disclosed in Note 13 –Commitments and Contingencies. Repurchase and recourse obligations include a North American repurchase agreement with WFCDF and could be reduced by repurchase activity occurring under other similar agreements with WFCDF and affiliates. The Company’s risk under these repurchase arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction. Amounts above exclude any potential recoveries from the value of the repurchased product.

(B) Represents accrued amounts for potential losses related to recourse exposure and the Company’s expected losses on obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of these products to alternative dealers.

BFS recorded income related to the operations of BAC of $6.0 million, $4.8 million and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Note 12 –Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law. The TCJA makes significant changes to the U.S. tax code effective for 2018, although certain provisions affected the Company’s 2017 financial results. The changes impacting 2017 include, but are not limited to, the write-down of net deferred tax assets resulting from the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, imposing a one-time deemed repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and bonus depreciation that will allow for immediate full expensing of qualified property. The TCJA also establishes new corporate tax laws that will be effective in 2018 but do not impact the Company’s 2017 financial results. These 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 income and 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 provides 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 allows the Company to provide provisional estimates of the impact of the TCJA in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, based on information and IRS guidance currently available, we have recorded a discrete net tax expense of $71.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This consists primarily of a net charge of $56.5 million for the write down of our net deferred tax balances 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. The Company has not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA and the provisional amounts will 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 continues to analyze the TCJA and refines its calculations which could potentially affect the remeasurement of 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 creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e. 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 future 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. Because 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, we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of this provision of the TCJA. Therefore, the Company has not made any adjustments related to potential GILTI tax in its financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2017, and we have not 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. Additional impacts from the enactment of the TCJA will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as allowed in SAB 118.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

At December 31, 2017, the Company had a total valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $81.4 million. The remaining realizable value of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017 was determined by evaluating the potential to recover the value of these assets through the utilization of tax loss and credit carrybacks, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and carryforwards, certain tax planning strategies and future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. At December 31, 2017, the Company retained valuation allowance reserves of $53.7 million against deferred tax assets in the U.S. primarily related to non-amortizable intangibles and various state operating loss carryforwards and state tax credits that are subject to restrictive rules for future utilization, and valuation allowances of $27.7 million for deferred tax assets related to foreign jurisdictions, primarily Brazil.

At December 31, 2017, the tax benefit of loss carryforwards totaling $75.9 million was available to reduce future tax liabilities. This deferred tax asset was comprised of $2.1 million for the tax benefit of federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, $45.8 million for the tax benefit of state NOL carryforwards and $28.0 million for the tax benefit of foreign NOL carryforwards. NOL carryforwards of $49.5 million expire at various intervals between the years 2018 and 2037, while $26.4 million have an unlimited life.

At December 31, 2017, tax credit carryforwards totaling $43.8 million were available to reduce future tax liabilities. This deferred tax asset was comprised of $2.4 million related to general business credits and other miscellaneous federal credits, and $41.4 million of various state tax credits related to research and development, capital investment and job incentives. Tax credit carryforwards of $43.6 million expire at various intervals between the years 2018 and 2037, while $0.2 million have an unlimited life.

The Company has historically provided deferred taxes for the presumed ultimate repatriation to the U.S. of earnings from certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates. Through December 31, 2014 the indefinite reinvestment criteria had been applied to certain entities and allowed the Company to overcome that presumption to the extent the earnings were to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. As a result of the Company's internal restructuring of its foreign entities that was initiated in 2015, the Company determined that the indefinite reinvestment assertion should be expanded to include additional non-U.S. subsidiaries. As a result of the 2015 actions, the Company recorded a discrete net tax benefit in 2015 which includes the benefit of applying the indefinite reinvestment assertion to the foreign entities reorganized under a new European holding company. 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 assertion as of December 31, 2017. The Company is considering remitting cash back to the U.S. in 2018 from non-U.S. subsidiaries and as such, the Company will no longer assert that it is permanently reinvested in any non-U.S. subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017. These remittances would be considered dividends and under changes made by the TCJA these dividends would be subject to a 100 percent dividend received deduction and would not result in any U.S. federal tax liability. As of December 31, 2017 the Company has provided deferred taxes for jurisdictions where dividends would be subject to withholding taxes. 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.

As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 the Company had $2.3 million, $3.5 million and $4.8 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. Substantially all of these amounts, if recognized, would impact the Company's tax provision and the effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the amounts accrued for interest and penalties were not significant.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The following is a reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties for the 2017, 2016 and 2015 annual reporting periods:

(in millions)	2017			2016			2015
Balance at January 1	$	3.4		$	4.7		$	4.8
Gross increases - tax positions prior periods	0.1			0.3			0.4
Gross decreases - tax positions prior periods	(0.2		)	(0.4		)	(0.1		)
Gross increases - current period tax positions	0.4			0.5			0.5
Decreases - settlements with taxing authorities	(0.5		)	—			(0.6		)
Reductions - lapse of statute of limitations	(1.1		)	(1.7		)	—
Other	—			0.0			(0.3		)
Balance at December 31	$	2.1		$	3.4		$	4.7

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2017 could decrease by approximately $0.7 million in 2018 due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in applicable statutes of limitation. 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 at this time.

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 2012 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 and the IRS field examination of the 2014 tax year is completed. The Company is awaiting the Revenue Agents Report for 2014 and does not expect any material adjustments. 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.

The difference between the actual income tax provision (benefit) and the tax provision computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate to Earnings before income taxes is attributable to the following:

Note 13 –Commitments and Contingencies

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $13.5 million charge for costs related to field campaigns pertaining to certain Cybex products designed prior to the acquisition. The charge consisted of $8.4 million and $5.1 million within Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. The Company has made indemnification claims against the seller for recovery that includes these amounts, but has not yet recorded an offsetting receivable in the financial statements.

Upon the Company’s acquisition of the Cybex business on January 20, 2016, Cybex was subject to an ongoing investigation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding the timeliness of a recall of theCybex arm curl product. The purchase agreement contained specific language providing that the seller will fully indemnify and hold harmless the Company for all losses related to the CPSC’s investigation of the arm curl product. In the third quarter of 2017, the CPSC concluded its investigation and issued a letter to Cybex offering to settle the arm curl investigation for a civil penalty in the amount of $6.3 million. The Company accrued this amount and fully offset it with an indemnification receivable from the seller and continues to negotiate a final settlement amount with the CPSC.

On January 21, 2015, Cobalt Boats, LLC (Cobalt) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company alleging that certain of the Company’s Sea Ray branded boats include a feature that infringes a Cobalt patent relating to a submersible swim step. On October 31, 2017, the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia entered an amended judgment on the jury verdict awarding total damages, including enhanced damages, in the amount of $5.4 million plus attorneys' fees of $2.5 million and applicable interest. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and is pursuing an appeal. Charges and expenses related to the Cobalt case are included in discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Financial Commitments

The Company has entered into guarantees of indebtedness of third parties, primarily in connection with customer financing programs. Under these arrangements, the Company has guaranteed customer obligations to the financial institutions in the event of customer default, generally subject to a maximum amount that is less than the total outstanding obligations. The Company has also extended guarantees to third parties that have purchased customer receivables from Brunswick and, in certain instances, has guaranteed secured term financing of its customers. Potential payments in connection with these customer financing arrangements generally extend over several years. The single year potential cash obligations associated with these customer financing arrangements as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $41.4 million and $31.5 million, respectively. The maximum potential cash obligations associated with these customer financing arrangements as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $49.2 million and $39.6 million, respectively.

In most instances, upon repurchase of the receivable or note, the Company receives rights to the collateral securing the financing. The Company’s risk under these arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the collateral that secures the financing. The Company had $1.1 million and $1.2 million accrued for potential losses related to recourse exposure at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company has accounts receivable sale arrangements with third parties which are included in the guarantee arrangements discussed above. The Company treats the sale of receivables in which the Company retains an interest as a secured obligation as the transfers of the receivables under these arrangements do not meet the requirements of a “true sale.” Accordingly, the current portion of receivables underlying these arrangements of $23.7 million and $22.0 million was recorded in Accounts and notes receivable and Accrued expenses as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Further, the long-term portion

79

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

of these arrangements of $30.2 million and $29.0 million as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, was recorded in Other long-term assets and Other long-term liabilities.

The Company has also entered into arrangements with third-party lenders in which it has agreed, in the event of a customer default, to repurchase from the third-party lender those Brunswick products repossessed from the customer. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The single year and maximum potential cash payments the Company could be required to make to repurchase collateral as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $53.6 million and $59.9 million, respectively.

The Company’s risk under these repurchase arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction. The Company had $0.8 million and $0.9 million accrued for potential losses related to repurchase exposure as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company’s repurchase accrual represents the expected losses that could result from obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of those products to alternative dealers.

The Company has recorded its estimated net liability associated with losses from these guarantee and repurchase obligations on its Consolidated Balance Sheets based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Historical cash requirements and losses associated with these obligations have not been significant, but could increase if dealer defaults exceed current expectations.

Financial institutions have issued standby letters of credit and surety bonds conditionally guaranteeing obligations on behalf of the Company totaling $5.3 million and $15.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. A large portion of these standby letters of credit and surety bonds are related to the Company’s self-insured workers’ compensation program as required by its insurance companies and various state agencies. The Company has recorded reserves to cover the anticipated liabilities associated with these programs. Under certain circumstances, such as an event of default under the Company’s revolving credit facility, or, in the case of surety bonds, a ratings downgrade, the Company could be required to post collateral to support the outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds. The Company was not required to post letters of credit as collateral against surety bonds as of December 31, 2017.

The Company has a collateral trust arrangement with insurance carriers and a trustee bank. The trust is owned by the Company, but the assets are pledged as collateral against workers’ compensation related obligations in lieu of other forms of collateral including letters of credit. In connection with this arrangement, the Company had $9.4 million and $11.2 million of cash in the trust at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which was classified as Restricted cash in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In both 2017 and 2016, insurance carriers reduced the required collateral amount, which resulted in a $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, transferred out of the trust.

Product Warranties

The Company records a liability for product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The liability is estimated using historical warranty experience, projected claim rates and expected costs per claim. The Company adjusts its liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated. Product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure affect the Company's warranty liabilities. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, the Company must make a revision to the warranty liability. Changes in the Company's warranty liabilities resulting from the Company's experience and adjustments related to changes in estimates are included as Aggregate changes for preexisting warranties presented in the table below.

The following activity related to product warranty liabilities was recorded in Accrued expenses during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

(in millions)	2017			2016
Balance at beginning of period	$	100.2		$	93.3
Payments made	(57.9		)	(55.9		)

Foreign currency translation	1.8			(0.4		)
Acquisitions	—			7.1
Other	(0.6		)	2.3
Balance at end of period	$	111.3		$	100.2

Additionally, end users of the Company's products may purchase a contract from the Company that extends product warranty beyond the standard period. For certain extended warranty contracts in which the Company retains the warranty or administration obligation, a deferred revenue liability is recorded based on the aggregate sales price for contracts sold. The liability is reduced and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period during which corresponding costs are expected to be incurred. The Company updated certain amounts to properly reflect the activity within the prior year extended warranty contracts sold and revenue recognized on existing extended warranty contracts captions, as outlined in the table below.

The following activity related to deferred revenue for extended product warranty contracts was recorded in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

(in millions)	2017			2016

Legal and Environmental

The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Adjustments to estimates are recorded in the period they are identified. Management does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for the Company’s litigation claims and matters, if any, has been incurred. In light of existing accruals, the Company's litigation claims, when finally resolved, are not expected, in the opinion of management, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 and other federal and state legislation governing the generation and disposal of certain hazardous wastes. These proceedings, which involve both on- and off-site waste disposal or other contamination, in many instances

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

seek compensation or remedial action from the Company as a waste generator under Superfund legislation, which authorizes action regardless of fault, legality of original disposition or ownership of a disposal site. The Company has established accruals based on a range of cost estimates for all known claims.

The environmental remediation and clean-up projects in which the Company is involved have an aggregate estimated range of exposure of approximately $21.0 million to $39.2 million as of December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accruals for environmental liabilities of $21.0 million and $33.0 million , respectively, reflected in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded environmental provisions of $0.0 million, $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company accrues for environmental remediation-related activities for which commitments or clean-up plans have been developed and for which costs can be reasonably estimated. All accrued amounts are generally determined in consultation with third-party experts on an undiscounted basis and do not consider recoveries from third parties until such recoveries are realized. In light of existing accruals, the Company's environmental claims, when finally resolved, are not expected, in the opinion of management, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 14 –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.

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risks associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Derivative instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges to specific forecasted transactions. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and monthly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the anticipated cash flows of the hedged item. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and immediately recognizes the gains and losses associated with those hedges. There were no material adjustments as a result of ineffectiveness to the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded. The effects of derivative financial instruments are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations when considered together with the underlying exposure being hedged. Use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to credit risk with its counterparties when the fair value of a derivative contract is an asset. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into derivative contracts with highly rated counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to counterparty credit risk is limited to the asset value of derivative financial instruments.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company enters into certain derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.  The Company executes both forward and option contracts, based on forecasted transactions, to manage foreign currency exchange exposure mainly related to inventory purchase and sales transactions. From time-to-time, the Company enters into commodity swap agreements based on anticipated purchases of aluminum, copper and natural gas to manage risk related to price changes. Additionally, the Company may enter into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of debt.

A cash flow hedge requires that as changes in the fair value of derivatives occur, the portion of the change deemed to be effective is recorded temporarily in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 31, 2017, the term of derivative instruments hedging forecasted transactions ranged up to 18 months.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The following activity related to cash flow hedges was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31:

	Accumulated Unrealized Derivative
	Gains (Losses)
	2017						2016
(in millions)	Pretax			After-tax			Pretax			After-tax
Beginning balance	$	1.1		$	(5.6	)	$	0.4		$	(5.9	)
Net change in value of outstanding hedges	(10.9		)	(7.5		)	2.9			2.1

Ending balance	$	(7.8	)	$	(11.8	)	$	1.1		$	(5.6	)

Fair Value Hedges. The Company enters into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from fixed to floating rate debt. An interest rate swap is entered into with the expectation that the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap will offset the change in the fair value of the debt instrument attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Each period, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap asset or liability is recorded in debt and the difference between the fixed interest payment and floating interest receipts is recorded as a net adjustment to interest expense.

Other Hedging Activity. The Company has entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts that have not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. These contracts are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to changes in the value of assets or liabilities caused by changes in foreign exchange rates. The change in the fair value of the foreign currency derivative contract and the corresponding change in the fair value of the asset or liability of the Company are both recorded through earnings, each period as incurred.

Foreign Currency Derivatives. The Company enters into forward and option contracts to manage foreign exchange exposure related to forecasted transactions and assets and liabilities that are subject to risk from foreign currency rate changes. These exposures include: product costs; revenues and expenses; associated receivables and payables; intercompany obligations and receivables and other related cash flows.

Forward exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 had notional contract values of $312.6 million and $255.0 million, respectively. Option contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, had notional contract values of $18.0 million and $30.4 million, respectively. The forward and options contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017, mature during 2018 and 2019 and mainly relate to the Euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Swedish krona, British pound, Norwegian krone, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar, Hungarian forint and Taiwan dollar. As of December 31, 2017, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $4.3 million of net losses (based on current rates) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.

Interest Rate Derivatives. The Company enters into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from fixed to floating rate debt. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding swaps had notional contract values of $200.0 million, of which $150.0 million corresponds to the Company's 4.625 percent Senior notes due 2021 and $50.0 million corresponds to the Company's 7.375 percent Debentures due 2023. These instruments have been designated as fair value hedges, with the fair value recorded in long-term debt as discussed in Note 16 –Debt.

The Company may also enter into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with anticipated debt issuances. There were no forward-starting interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $3.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of net deferred losses associated with all settled forward-starting interest rate swaps, which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2017, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $0.9 million of net losses resulting from settled forward-starting interest rate swaps from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense.

Commodity Price Derivatives. From time-to-time, the Company uses commodity swaps to hedge anticipated purchases of aluminum, copper and natural gas. There were no commodity swap contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The 2021, 2023 and 2027 notes are unsecured and do not contain subsidiary guarantees. Interest on the Company's notes is due semi-annually. The Company's 2021 and 2027 notes are subject to redemption at any time at the Company's discretion, in whole or in part, at redemption prices specified in the respective agreements, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company's 2023 notes are not subject to redemption provisions. The Company may be required to repurchase the 2021 notes in the event of a change of control, subject to certain circumstances, for an amount equal to 101 percent of the outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid interest at the time of the change of control.

In June 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Facility). The Credit Facility amended and restated the Company's existing credit agreement, dated as of March 2011, as amended and restated as of June 2014. The Credit Facility provides for $300.0 million of borrowing capacity and is in effect through June 2021. No borrowings were outstanding as of December 31, 2017 or during 2017 or 2016, and available borrowing capacity totaled $295.7 million, net of $4.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes provisions to add an additional $100.0 million of capacity and extend the facility for two additional one-year terms, subject to lender approval. The Company currently pays a facility fee of 20 basis points per annum. The facility fee per annum will be within a range of 12.5 to 35 basis points based on the Company's credit rating. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has two borrowing options: borrowing at a rate tied to adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 130 basis points or a base rate plus a margin of 30.0 basis points. The rates are determined by the Company's credit ratings, with spreads ranging from 100 to 190 basis points for LIBOR rate borrowings and 0 to 90 basis points for base rate borrowings. The Company is required to maintain compliance with two financial covenants included in the Credit Facility: a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The minimum interest coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, is not permitted to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. The maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, is not permitted to be more than 3.50 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility.

Note 17 –Postretirement Benefits

Overview. The Company has defined contribution plans and makes contributions including 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. The expense related to the defined contribution plans was $52.1 million in 2017 and $46.3 million in both 2016 and 2015.

The Company's domestic pension and retiree health care and life insurance benefit plans, which are discussed below, provide benefits based on years of service and, for some plans, average compensation prior to retirement. Benefit accruals are frozen for all plan participants. The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for these plans. The Company's foreign postretirement benefit plans are not significant individually or in the aggregate.

Plan Developments.

The Company historically maintained four qualified defined benefit plans: the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (Salaried Plan), the Brunswick Pension Plan for Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees (Bargaining Plan), the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Employees (Hourly Plan) and the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Wage Employees (Muskegon Plan). The Company took actions to terminate the Hourly Plan and the Muskegon Plan, effective as of December 31, 2016, and all benefits were paid during 2017 as described below.

During 2017, total settlement payments of $132.7 million were made from the Bargaining Plan and Salaried Plan to purchase group annuity contracts to cover future benefit payments. In addition, settlement payments totaling $101.7 million were made from the Hourly Plan and the Muskegon Plan in connection with plan terminations. The settlement payments included group annuity contracts to cover future benefit payments as well as lump-sum benefit payments to certain participants.

The annuity contracts unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full payment of all future annuity payments to the participants. The insurance company assumed all investment risk associated with the assets and obligations that were transferred. The Company recognized a pretax settlement loss of $96.6 million at December 31, 2017 related to these actions.

During 2016, total settlement payments of $125.2 million were made from the Bargaining Plan and the Salaried Plan to purchase group annuity contracts to cover future benefit payments. The annuity contract unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full payment of all future annuity payments to the affected participants. The insurance company assumed all risk associated with the assets and obligations that were transferred. The Company recognized a pretax settlement loss of $55.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 relating to this action.

During 2015, total settlement payments of $191.8 million were made from the Brunswick Pension Plan For Selected Current And Former Employees and the Salaried Plan, consisting of lump-sum pension distributions of $61.7 million and the purchase of group annuity contracts totaling $130.1 million to cover future benefit payments. The annuity contract unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full payment of all future annuity payments to the affected participants. The insurance company assumed all risk associated with the assets and obligations that were transferred. The Company recognized a pretax settlement loss of $82.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 related to these actions.

The estimated pretax net actuarial loss in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2017, expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost in 2018 for the Company's pension plans, is $9.9 million. The estimated pretax prior service credit and net actuarial loss in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2017, expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in 2018 for the Company's other postretirement benefit plans, are $0.7 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

Prior service costs and credits associated with other postretirement benefits are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the average future working lifetime to full eligibility for active hourly plan participants and over the average remaining life expectancy for those plans' participants who are fully eligible for benefits. Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized over the remaining service period of active plan participants and over the average remaining life expectancy of inactive plan participants.

Other Postretirement Benefits. Once participants eligible for other postretirement benefits turn 65 years old, the health care benefits become a flat dollar amount based on age and years of service. The assumed health care cost trend rate for other postretirement benefits for pre-age 65 benefits as of December 31 was as follows:

	Pre-age 65 Benefits
	2017		2016
Health care cost trend rate for next year	5.6	%	5.7	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)	4.5	%	4.5	%
Year rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2037		2037

A one percent change in the assumed health care trend rate at December 31, 2017 would not have a material impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.

The Company monitors the cost of health care and life insurance benefit plans and reserves the right to make additional changes or terminate these benefits in the future.

Assumptions. Weighted average assumptions used to determine pension and other postretirement benefit obligations at December 31 were as follows:

	Pension Benefits				Other Postretirement Benefits
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Discount rate	3.63	%	4.00	%	3.51	%	3.93	%

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net pension and other postretirement benefit costs for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

	2017	2016	2015
Discount rate for pension benefits (A) (B)	3.40%	3.58%	3.95%
Discount rate for other postretirement benefits (A) (B)	3.17%	3.30%	3.75%
Long-term rate of return on plan assets (C)	4.75%	5.25%	6.00%

(A) The Company utilizes a yield curve analysis to calculate the discount rates used to determine pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. The yield curve analysis matches the cash flows of the Company's benefit obligations. The yield curve consisted of spot interest rates at half year increments for each of the next 30 years and was developed based on pricing and yield information for high quality corporate bonds rated Aa by either Moody's or Standard & Poor's, private placement bonds that are traded in reliance with Rule 144A and are at least two years from date of issuance, bonds with make-whole provisions and bonds issued by foreign corporations that are denominated in U.S. dollars, excluding callable bonds and bonds less than a minimum size and other filtering criteria. Additionally, the Company's yield curve methodology includes bonds having a yield that is greater than the regression mean yield curve as the Company believes this methodology represents an appropriate estimate of the rates at which the Company could effectively settle its pension obligations.

(B) Pension expense in 2017 and 2016 includes the impact of a change in methodology used to calculate the interest cost component of pension expense. In 2015 and prior years, the Company used a single-weighted average discount rate to calculate pension and postretirement interest costs. Beginning in 2016, the Company is utilizing a "spot rate approach" in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs to provide a more accurate measurement of interest costs. The spot rate approach applies separate discount rates for each projected benefit payment in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs. This calculation change is considered to be a change in accounting estimate and is being applied prospectively starting in 2016.

(C) The Company evaluates its assumption regarding the estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets based on historical experience, future expectations of investment returns, asset allocations, investment strategies and views of investment professionals.

Master Trust Investments. Assets of the Company's Master Pension Trust (Trust) are invested solely in the interest of the plan participants for the purpose of providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries. Investment decisions within the Trust are made after giving appropriate consideration to the prevailing facts and circumstances that a prudent person acting in a like capacity would use in a similar situation, and follow the guidelines and objectives established within the investment policy statement for the Trust. In general, the Trust's investment strategy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets that will generate returns equal to or in excess of the change in liabilities resulting from interest costs and discount rate fluctuations. The excess returns generated from this strategy will contribute to improving the funded position of the plan. In order for returns to achieve this objective, the Trust will invest in fixed income investments and equities. These asset classes have historically been reasonably correlated to changes in plan liabilities resulting from changes in the discount rate. All investments are continually monitored and reviewed, with a focus on asset allocation, investment vehicles and performance of the individual investment managers, as well as overall

Trust performance. Over time, the Company has shifted a greater percentage of the Trust's assets into long-term fixed-income securities, with an objective of achieving an improved matching of asset returns with changes in liabilities. The Company will consider future changes in asset allocation based on a number of factors including improvements in the plans' funded position, performance of equity investments and changes in the discount rate used to measure plan liabilities.

The Trust asset allocation at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and target allocation for 2018 are as follows:

	2017	2016	Target Allocation for 2018
Equity securities:
United States	4%	19%	4%

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. See Note 7 –Fair Value Measurements for further description of the procedures the Company performs with respect to its Level 2 measurements:

Equity securities: The indexed equity funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) provided by the investment managers. The NAV is based on the quoted market value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding. The indexed equity funds are invested in portfolios of equity securities with the goal of matching returns to specific indices. Investments in United States equity securities are invested in an index fund that tracks the Russell 3000 index, which is an all cap market index. International equities are invested in an index fund that tracks the MSCI EAFE index, which is an index that tracks international equity markets of developed countries worldwide. Withdrawal from the United States equity fund is permitted with a one-day notice prior to the trade date with subsequent settlement three days after the trade date. Withdrawal from the international equity fund is permitted daily with a two-day notice prior to the trade date with subsequent settlement three days after the trade date.

Corporate debt securities: Corporate debt securities are valued based on prices provided by third-party pricing sources, which are based on estimated prices at which a dealer would pay for or sell a security.

92

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Government debt securities: U.S. Treasury bonds are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. Other agency securities are valued based on prices provided by third-party pricing sources, which are based on estimated prices at which a dealer would pay for or sell a security.

Short-term investments, commingled funds: Short-term investments and commingled funds are valued at the NAV provided by the investment managers. The NAV is based on the quoted market value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding. Investments in fixed income commingled funds include long-duration corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and other short-term, fixed-income securities with the goal of preserving capital and maximizing total return consistent with prudent investment management.

Other investments: Exchange-traded derivative instruments are valued using market indices. The fair value of derivatives that are not traded on an exchange are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date.

There were no pension plan assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Expected Cash Flows. The expected cash flows for the Company's pension and other postretirement benefit plans follow:

(in millions)	Pension Benefits		Other Postretirement Benefits

(A) The Company anticipates making discretionary contributions of approximately $70.0 million to fund the qualified pension plans and approximately $3.8 million to cover benefit payments in the unfunded, nonqualified pension plan in 2018. Company contributions are subject to change based on market conditions or Company discretion.

Note 18 –Stock Plans and Management 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, with shares 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 December 31, 2017, 5.4 million shares remained available for grant.

Share information includes all outstanding awards for both continuing and discontinued operations.

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. Non-vested stock units and awards have vesting periods of three years. Non-vested stock units and awards are eligible for dividends, which are reinvested, and are non-voting. All non-vested units and awards have restrictions on the sale or transfer of such awards during the vesting period.

Generally, grants of non-vested stock units and awards are forfeited if employment is terminated prior to vesting. Non-vested stock units and awards vest pro rata over one year if (i) the grantee has attained the age of 62, or (ii) the grantee's age plus total years of service equals 70 or more.

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service 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 years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company charged $11.1 million, $10.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock units and awards. The related income tax benefit recognized in 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $4.2 million, $3.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The fair value of shares vested during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $12.1 million, $13.8 million and $20.4 million respectively.

The weighted average price per Non-vested stock award at grant date was $60.30, $40.01 and $53.77 for awards granted in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Non-vested stock award activity for the year ended December 31, 2017 was as follows:

(in thousands, except grant date fair value)	Non-vested Stock Award Activity		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested awards, unvested at January 1	379		$	43.35
Awarded	240		60.30
Forfeited	(25	)	50.19
Vested	(218	)	46.48
Non-vested awards, unvested at December 31	376		$	51.69

As of December 31, 2017, there was $7.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards. The Company expects this expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

Stock Options and SARs

Through 2004, the Company issued stock options, and between 2005 and 2012, the Company issued stock-settled SARs. Generally, stock options and SARs are exercisable over a period of 10 years, or as otherwise determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and subject to vesting periods of generally 4 years. However, with respect to stock options and SARs, all grants vest immediately: (i) in the event of a change in control; (ii) upon death or disability of the grantee; or (iii) with respect to awards granted prior to 2008, upon the sale or divestiture of the business unit to which the grantee is assigned.

In addition, grantees continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule even upon termination if (i) the grantee has attained the age of 62, or (ii) the grantee's age plus total years of service equals 70 or more. An additional provision applies that prorates the grant in the event of termination prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided the participant had met the appropriate retirement age definition of rule of 70 or age 62.

SARs and stock option activity for all plans for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, was as follows:

Performance Awards

In February 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 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 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 26,300, 37,430 and 22,990 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding a TSR modifier.

The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier at the grant date in 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $64.82, $38.54 and $56.17, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:

	2017		2016		2015
Risk-free interest rate	1.5	%	0.8	%	1.0	%
Dividend yield	1.1	%	1.0	%	0.9	%
Volatility factor	38.3	%	40.8	%	39.2	%
Expected life of award	2.9 years		2.9 years		2.9 years

The fair value of certain officers' and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI and OM performance factors was $58.77, $37.76 and $52.39, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, less the present value of dividend payments over the vesting period.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to performance awards of $6.7 million, $6.0 million and $7.9 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized in 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $2.6 million, $2.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The fair value of awards vested during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $5.5 million, $9.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Performance award activity for the year ended December 31, 2017 was as follows:

(in thousands, except grant date fair value)	Performance Awards		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Performance awards, unvested at January 1	91		$	43.91
Awarded	114		63.43
Forfeited	(4	)	47.10
Vested and earned	(99	)	59.34
Performance awards, unvested at December 31	102		$	50.69

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $2.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to performance awards. The Company expects this expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

Excess Tax Benefits/Shortfalls

For tax purposes, share-based compensation expense is deductible in the year of exercise or release based on the intrinsic value of the award on the date of exercise or release. For financial reporting purposes, share-based compensation expense is based upon grant-date fair value, which is amortized over the vesting period. Excess or "windfall" tax benefits represent the excess tax deduction received by the Company resulting from the difference between the share-based compensation expense deductible for tax purposes and the share-based compensation expense recognized for financial reporting purposes. Conversely, the Company may recognize a tax "shortfall" in circumstances when share-based expense recognized for reporting purposes exceeds the expense deductible for tax purposes. Windfall tax benefits and shortfalls are recorded directly to Income tax provision on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. Windfall tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $8.0 million, $13.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

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 units with a 20 percent premium.

5.Restrictive Covenants. The Executive acknowledges that during employment with the Company or a Related Company, the Executive has and will acquire, develop and have access to confidential and proprietary information that belongs to the Company or the Related Company. This information takes years and extensive resources to develop, is valuable to the Company or the Related Company and provides the Company or the Related Company with a competitive edge. In consideration of employment or continued employment, Executive knowingly and voluntarily agrees to the following restrictions and further acknowledges and agrees that they are reasonably designed to protect the Company or the Related Company interests and good will, and will not unduly restrict Executive’s post-employment activities.

(a)Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation; Nondisparagement. The following provisions shall apply:

(i)During the Executive’s employment and during the eighteen (18) month period immediately following termination of Executive’s employment (unless such termination follows a Change in Control, in which case this Section 5(a)(i) and Section 5 (a)(ii) shall not apply), without the prior written consent of the Company: (A) the Executive shall not directly or indirectly be employed or retained by, or render any services for, or be financially interested in any manner, in any person, firm or corporation engaged in any business which is then materially competitive in any way with any business in which the Company or any Related Company was engaged (including any program of development or research) (a “Competitive Activity”) during the Executive’s employment; (B) the Executive shall not divert or attempt to divert any business away from the Company or a Related Company; (C) the Executive shall not disturb or attempt to disturb any business relationships of the Company or any Related Company; and (D) the Executive shall not assist any person in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by the preceding clauses (A), (B) and (C).

The Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, or General Counsel shall respond to the Executive in writing within thirty (30) calendar days indicating the Company’s approval or objections to the Executive’s engagement in the activity; provided, however, that if the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, or General Counsel does not respond to or request additional information from the Executive within such thirty (30) day period, the Company’s approval shall be deemed to be granted. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing the Executive from investing his personal assets in any business that competes with the Company, in such form or manner as will not require any services on the part of the Executive in the operation or affairs of the business in which such investments are made, but only if the Executive does not own or control more than two percent of any class of the outstanding stock of such business.

(iii)For the eighteen (18) month period following termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company: (A) solicit, recruit or hire any individual who is employed by the Company or any Related Company (or who was so employed within 180 calendar days of the Executive’s solicitation, recruitment or hiring); (B) solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or any Related Company to terminate or refrain from renewing or extending such employment or to become employed by or become a consultant to any other individual or entity other than the Company or a Related Company; or (C) initiate discussion with any such employee for any such purposes or authorize or knowingly cooperate with the taking of any such actions by any other

individual or entity; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Executive from generally advertising for personnel not specifically targeting any executive or other personnel of the Company.

(iv)During the Executive’s employment with the Company and thereafter, Executive will not make any comment or statement or engage in any other behavior that in any way defames or is otherwise detrimental to the reputation and goodwill of the Company, any Related Company, or any director, officer, executive, or agent of the Company or any Related Company; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be interpreted as prohibiting Executive from making truthful statements, including statements of opinion, to Company directors, officers, auditors or regulators or when required by a court or other body having jurisdiction to require such statements.

(b)Confidentiality. The following provisions shall apply:

(i)Except as may be required by the lawful order of a court or agency of competent jurisdiction, or except to the extent that the Executive has express written authorization from the Company, he will keep secret and confidential all Confidential Information (as defined below), and not disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other person, firm, or business entity, or use it in any way. The Executive agrees that, to the extent that any court or agency seeks to have the Executive disclose Confidential Information, he shall promptly inform the Company, and he shall take such reasonable steps to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information until the Company has been informed of such required disclosure, and the Company has an opportunity to respond to such court or agency. If the Executive obtains information on behalf of the Company or a Related Company that may be subject to attorney-client privilege as to the Company or an affiliate’s attorneys, the Executive shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to preserve such privilege.

(ii)Upon his termination of employment with the Company for any reason, the Executive shall promptly return to the Company any keys, credit cards, passes, confidential documents and material, or other property belonging to the Company, and shall return all writings, files, records, correspondence, notebooks, notes and other documents and things (including any copies or electronic versions thereof) containing Confidential Information or relating to the business or proposed business of the Company or any Related Company or containing any trade secrets relating to the Company or any Related Company, except any personal diaries, calendars, contact lists or personal notes or correspondence.

(iii)For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means all non-public information concerning the Company and any Related Company that was acquired by or disclosed to the Executive during the course of his employment with the Company or a Related Company, or during discussions between the Executive and the Company or any Related Company following his termination of employment arising out of his employment or this Agreement, including, without limitation: (A) all of the Company’s or any Related Company’s “trade secrets” as that term is used in the Illinois Trade Secrets Act (or, if that Act is repealed, the Uniform Trade Secrets Act upon which the Illinois Trade Secrets Act is based); (B) any non-public information regarding the Company’s or a Related Company’s directors, officers, employees, customers, equipment, processes, costs, operations and methods, whether past, current or planned, as well as knowledge and data relating to business plans, marketing and sales information originated, owned, controlled or possessed by the Company or a Related Company; and (C) information regarding litigation and threatened litigation involving or affecting the Company or a Related Company.

(c)Assistance with Claims. The Executive agrees that, taking into account the Executive’s other commitments, during and after his employment by the Company, he will assist the Company and any Related Company in the defense of any claims or potential claims that may be made or threatened to be made

against any of them in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), and will assist the Company and any Related Company in the prosecution of any claims that may be made by the Company or any Related Company in any Proceeding, to the extent that such claims may relate to the Executive’s employment or the period of the Executive’s employment by the Company. Executive agrees, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform the Company if Executive is asked to participate (or otherwise become involved) in any Proceeding involving such claims or potential claims. Executive also agrees, unless precluded by law, to promptly inform the Company if Executive is asked to assist in any investigation (whether governmental or private) of the Company or any Related Company (or their actions), regardless of whether a lawsuit has then been filed against the Company or any Related Company with respect to such investigation. The Company agrees to reimburse Executive for all of Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with such assistance, including travel expenses and any attorneys’ fees and shall pay a reasonable per diem fee for Executive’s service.

(d)The payments, benefits, and other entitlements under this Agreement are being made in consideration of, among other things, the obligations of this Section 5 and, in particular, compliance with Sections 5(a) and (b); provided, however, that all such payments, benefits, or other entitlements pursuant to Section 6 are subject to and conditioned upon the Executive’s entering into the Release and Agreement referred to in Section 6(h).

(e)Remedies.

(i)The Executive acknowledges that the Company would be irreparably injured by any violation of Section 5.

(ii)Subject to Section 7, if the Executive materially breaches the provisions of Sections 5(a) or (b), (A) the Company shall be relieved of all obligations to make any further payments to the Executive pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 or otherwise under any incentive compensation plan of the Company or a Related Company; (B) all outstanding equity-based awards held by the Executive shall be immediately forfeited; (C) subject to the following provisos, the Executive will be required to pay to the Company, in cash, within five business days after written demand is made therefore by the Company, an amount equal to any payments received by the Executive under Sections 6(a), 6(b) and 6(f); and (D) subject to the following provisos, the Executive will be required to pay the Company, in cash, within five (5) business days after written demand is made therefore by the Company, an amount equal to any gain realized as a result of the exercise or vesting of equity awards during the period commencing twelve months prior to the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason and ending on the date of payment; provided, however, that no forfeiture, cancellation, or repayment shall take place with respect to any payments, benefits, or entitlements under this Agreement or any other award agreement, plan, or practice, unless the Company shall have first given the Executive written notice of its intent to so forfeit, cancel, or require repayment and the Executive has not, within thirty (30) calendar days after such notice has been given, ceased such impermissible Competitive Activity or other activity in violation of this Agreement; and provided further, however, that such prior notice procedure shall not be required with respect to (A) a Competitive Activity or violation of Section 5(b) of this Agreement which the Executive initiated after the Company had informed the Executive in writing that it believed such activity violated this Agreement or the Company’s noncompetition guidelines, or (B) any Competitive Activity regarding products or services which are part of a line of business which the Executive knew or should have known represented more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s consolidated gross revenues for the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment.

(iii)Executive agrees that (A) the Company, in addition to any other remedies available to it for a breach or threatened breach of Sections 5(a) or (b), shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, or other equivalent relief, restraining the Executive from any actual or threatened breach of this Section 5; and (B) if a bond is required to be posted in order for the Company to secure an injunction or other equitable remedy, the parties agree that the bond need not be more than a nominal sum. If a final and non-appealable judicial determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 5 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against the Executive, the provisions of this Section 5 will not be rendered void but will be deemed to be modified to the minimum extent necessary to remain in force and effect for the greatest period and to the greatest extent that such court determines constitutes a reasonable restriction under the circumstances. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this Section 5 is determined not to be specifically enforceable, the Company will nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the Executive’s breach of such provision.

6.Termination Provisions.

(a)Severance Benefits. Prior to a Change in Control, if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for any reason other than Long-Term Disability or Cause, or if the Executive resigns for Good Reason, subject to Section 6(h), the Executive shall be entitled to:

(i)Severance payments in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of: (A) one and one-half (1.5) times Executive’s then-current Base Salary (disregarding any reduction in salary made in contemplation of such termination of employment); (B) one and one-half (1.5) times the Company’s profit-sharing, 401(k) match and other Company contributions made on behalf of the Executive to the Company’s tax-qualified and nonqualified defined contribution plans during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of termination; and (C) such amount, if any, as may be determined by the Chief Executive Officer in his sole discretion based on the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus under the BPP (“Total Severance Payment”). If the Total Severance Payment becomes due to the Executive under this Agreement, subject to Section 7 including Section 7(h), such payment shall be made in equal installments, in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and procedures, as if it were to be paid over the eighteen (18) month period following the date of Executive’s separation from service; provided, however, that all unpaid portions of the Total Severance Payment shall be distributed to the Executive in a lump sum on the payroll date immediately preceding March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs.

(ii)If such termination occurs prior to the payment of the Executive’s Annual Bonus payable with respect to the immediately preceding calendar year, payment of such Annual Bonus for such period, in the amount, and at such time, as he would otherwise have been entitled under the terms of the BPP had his employment not terminated.

(iii)All outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted shares and other equity-based awards (the “Equity Incentives”) held by the Executive shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the equity compensation plans and award agreements pursuant to which they were granted.

(iv)The Executive shall be entitled to Company-provided continuation of medical, dental, vision and prescription coverage, but not Long-Term Disability coverage (the “Benefits”) (on either an insured or a self-insured basis, in the sole discretion of the Company) for the Executive and his “Eligible Dependents” (as determined under the terms of the Company’s health and welfare benefit plans in effect as of the date of termination), on substantially the same terms of such coverage as are in existence immediately prior to the Executive’s date of termination (subject to commercial availability of such coverage), until the

earlier of: (A) the date on which the Executive becomes eligible to be covered under Medicare or another employer’s group health plan; or (B) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Executive’s date of termination; provided, however, that such coverage shall run concurrently with any coverage available to the Executive and his Eligible Dependents under COBRA; and provided further, however, that the Executive shall immediately notify the Company if he or his Eligible Dependents become covered under Medicare or another employer’s group health plan, at which time the Company’s provision of medical coverage for the Executive and/or his Eligible Dependents, as applicable, will cease. The Executive shall not be entitled to any other perquisites (except as otherwise explicitly provided in the applicable perquisite plan or policy or in this Agreement).

(b)Change in Control Benefits. After a Change in Control, if the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for any reason other than Cause or Long-Term Disability, or if the Executive resigns for Good Reason, subject to Section 6(h), the Executive shall be entitled to:

(i)Change in Control payments in a lump sum in an aggregate amount equal to [three (3)][two and one-half (2.5)][two (2)]³ times the sum of: (A) the Executive’s then-current Base Salary (disregarding any reduction in salary made after the Change in Control or in contemplation of the Change in Control); (B) the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus for the year of termination or, if greater, the Target Annual Bonus for the year in which the Change in Control occurred; and (C) the Company’s profit-sharing, 401(k) match and other Company contributions made on behalf of the Executive to the Company’s tax-qualified and nonqualified defined contribution plans during the twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination (“Total Change in Control Payment”). The Total Change in Control Payment shall be paid within sixty (60) days after the date of the Executive’s separation from service and shall be contingent on the release described in Section 6(h) becoming effective subject to the provision contained in Section 7(h).

(ii)If such termination occurs prior to the payment of the Executive’s Annual Bonus payable with respect to the immediately preceding calendar year, payment of such Annual Bonus for such period, in the amount, and at such time, as he would otherwise have been entitled under the terms of the BPP had his employment not terminated.

(iii)Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of the equity compensation plans and award agreements pursuant to which outstanding awards were granted, upon termination of the Executive’s employment, but subject to any accelerated vesting of any Equity Incentives that occurred upon the Change in Control, all Equity Incentives held by the Executive not already vested will become fully vested and, if applicable, immediately exercisable, and will remain outstanding pursuant to their terms; provided, however, that the treatment of all awards held by the Executive that are subject to performance-based vesting criteria shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the equity compensation plans and award agreements and/or award terms pursuant to which they were granted.

³Of the named executive officers, Mr. Metzger’s agreement reads “three (3);” Mr. Bower’s reads “two (2);” Mr. Irick’s reads “two (2);” and Mr. Pfeifer’s reads “three (3).”

(iv)The Executive shall be entitled to Company-provided continuation of Benefits (on either an insured or a self-insured basis, in the sole discretion of the Company) for the Executive and his Eligible Dependents, on substantially the same terms of such coverage as are in existence immediately prior to the Executive’s date of termination (subject to commercial availability of such coverage), until the earlier of: (A) the date on which the Executive becomes eligible to be covered under Medicare or another employer’s group health plan, or (B) the [third][thirty month][second]⁴ anniversary of the Executive’s date of termination; provided, however, that such coverage shall run concurrently with any coverage available to the Executive and his Eligible Dependents under COBRA; and provided further, however, that the Executive shall immediately notify the Company if he and his Eligible Dependents become covered under Medicare or another employer’s group health plan, at which time the Company’s provision of medical coverage for the Executive and/or his Eligible Dependents, as applicable, will cease. The Executive shall not be entitled to any other perquisites (except as otherwise explicitly provided in the applicable perquisite plan or policy or in this Agreement).

(c)Benefits Upon Termination Due to Death or Long-Term Disability. If, at any time during the Term, the Executive’s employment terminates as a result of the Executive’s death or Long-Term Disability, the Executive or his estate (as applicable) shall be entitled to:

(i)Payment of any unpaid Base Salary accrued through the date of termination (to be paid on the scheduled payment date for such Base Salary) and any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination.

(ii)Subject to Section 6(h), such amount, if any, as may be determined by the Chief Executive Officer in his sole discretion based on the Executive’s Target Annual Bonus under the BPP (to be paid within 60 (sixty) days after the date of the Executive’s separation from service).

(iii)If such termination occurs prior to the payment of the Executive’s Annual Bonus payable with respect to the immediately preceding calendar year, payment of such Annual Bonus for such period, in the amount, and at such time, as he would otherwise have been entitled under the terms of the BPP had his employment not terminated.

(iv)Continuation of the ability of the Executive or the Executive’s beneficiaries (as applicable) to exercise all outstanding awards granted to the Executive under the Incentive Plan that became vested and exercisable on or prior to such date of termination in accordance with the terms and conditions of such grants.

⁴Of the named executive officers, Mr. Metzger’s agreement reads “third;” Mr. Bower’s reads “second;” Mr. Irick’s reads “second;” and Mr. Pfeifer’s reads “third.”

(d)Termination for Cause. If the Executive’s employment is terminated for Cause at any time during the Term, the Executive shall not receive any payments, benefits, or other amounts provided by this Agreement, other than payment of any unpaid Base Salary accrued through the date of termination (to be paid on the scheduled payment date for such Base Salary) and payment of any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination (but shall still be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement). The Executive shall remain entitled to all benefits under the Company’s tax-qualified retirement plans and shall remain eligible for certain benefits under other employee benefit plans, in each case subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of such plans. Provided that the activity, facts, or circumstances that precipitated the “for Cause” determination were not (i) the result of Executive’s bad faith, or (ii) undertaken without a reasonable belief by the Executive that he was acting in the best interests of the Company or as required by applicable law, the Executive’s employment may not be terminated for Cause prior to advance written notice to the Executive containing reasonable detail of the activity, facts, or circumstances constituting Cause for termination, the actions that the Executive must take to cease such activity or cure such facts and circumstances, and a reasonable amount of time (not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days) for the Executive to effectuate such cure. All determinations relating to a “for Cause” termination shall be made by the Company in its sole discretion.

(e)Termination Due to Voluntary Resignation Without Good Reason. In the event the Executive voluntarily resigns without Good Reason during the Term, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits or other amounts under this Agreement, other than payment of any unpaid Base Salary accrued through the date of termination (to be paid on the scheduled payment date for such Base Salary), and payment of any unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the date of termination (but shall still be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement). The Executive shall remain entitled to all benefits under the Company’s tax-qualified retirement plans and shall remain eligible for certain benefits under other employee benefit plans (including, without limitation, any plans providing for Equity Incentives), in each case subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of such plans.

(f)Outplacement. In addition to any rights to which the Executive may be entitled under Sections 6(a) through 6(e), above, if the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Term by the Company, and such termination is other than for Cause, death or Long-Term Disability, or by the Executive for Good Reason, subject to Section 6(h), the Executive shall be entitled to the services of a Company-paid and Company-approved outplacement or career transition consultant in accordance with the Company’s current practices for senior executives in effect as of the date of termination; provided, however, that commencement of such transition counseling services, if desired, must begin prior to the first (1^st) anniversary of the date of termination and must end prior to the last day of the second (2^nd) calendar year following the year in which the date of termination occurs.

(g)Notification Requirements for Termination for Good Reason.

(i)If the Executive determines that Good Reason exists to terminate his employment with the Company, the Executive shall notify the Company in writing of the specific event, within sixty (60) calendar days after the date that the Executive becomes aware of the occurrence of such event, and such notice shall also include the date on which the Executive will terminate employment with the Company, which date shall be no earlier than sixty (60) calendar days after the date of such notice and no later than the second anniversary of the date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to Good Reason; provided, however, that the Chief Executive Officer, in his sole discretion, may relieve the Executive of his duties effective immediately upon the Company’s receipt of notice provided pursuant to this Section 6(g).

(ii)Within thirty (30) calendar days after the Company’s receipt of such written notice, the Company shall notify the Executive that it agrees or disagrees with the Executive’s determination that the event specified in the Executive’s notice constitutes Good Reason. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company’s determination whether it agrees or disagrees with the Executive’s determination that the event specified in the Executive’s notice constitutes Good Reason shall be reasonable, based on all the relevant facts and circumstances. The arbitrator in any arbitration proceeding initiated pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement, in which the existence of Good Reason is an issue, shall be expressly empowered and directed to review, de novo, the facts and circumstances claimed by the Executive to constitute Good Reason.

(iii)If the Company notifies the Executive that it agrees with the Executive’s determination that the event specified in the Executive’s notice constitutes Good Reason, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall either: (A) undertake to cure the circumstances that gave rise to Good Reason within thirty (30) calendar days of the Company’s response to Executive under Section 6(g)(ii); or (B) advise the Executive that his employment with the Company shall terminate on his termination date as determined under Section 6(g)(i). If the Executive and the Company do not agree that the action undertaken by the Company cures the circumstances that gave rise to Good Reason, the Executive shall be entitled to pursue the arbitration procedures set out in Section 12 of this Agreement. If the Executive’s claim in arbitration is ultimately concluded in the Executive’s favor, the Executive shall retain the right to receive the payments and benefits under this Agreement. If, during the two-year period following a Change in Control, the Company attempts to cure the circumstances giving rise to Good Reason, the Company shall have the burden of proof to establish that such circumstances have been cured.

(iv)If the Company notifies the Executive that it disagrees with the Executive’s determination that the event specified in the Executive’s notice constitutes Good Reason, the Executive may terminate his employment on the date specified in the notice (or such earlier date as determined by the Chief Executive Officer in his sole discretion or such later date as the Executive and the Company may mutually agree in writing) or may elect to continue his employment by so notifying the Company in writing. In either event, the Executive shall be entitled to pursue the arbitration procedures set out in Section 12 of this Agreement. If the Executive’s claim in arbitration is ultimately concluded in the Executive’s favor, the Executive shall retain the right to receive the payments and benefits under this Agreement. If, during the two-year period following a Change in Control, the Company disputes the existence of Good Reason, the Company shall have the burden of proof to establish that Good Reason does not exist.

(v)Notwithstanding the date on which the Executive’s termination occurs following the completion of the steps set forth in this Section 6(g), so long as an event that constitutes Good Reason occurs during the Term and the Executive delivers the written notice of termination for Good Reason to the Company at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, for purposes of the payments, benefits and other entitlements set forth in this Section 6, the termination of the Executive’s employment pursuant thereto shall be deemed to be a resignation for Good Reason during the Term.

(h)Conditional Payments. Subject to Section 7, any payments or benefits made pursuant to this Section 6 will be subject to and conditioned upon the Executive’s compliance with the provisions, restrictions and limitations of Section 5 of this Agreement, but not otherwise subject to offset or mitigation. In addition, unless on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of termination: (i) the Executive or the Executive’s estate (as applicable) shall have signed, and the Company shall have received, a Release and Agreement releasing the Company, Related Companies, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (“Released Parties”) from any and all claims and liabilities, and promising to the fullest extent allowed by law, never to sue any of the Released Parties (such Release and Agreement shall be in the

form set forth in Appendix III); and (ii) such Release and Agreement shall have become irrevocable, then: (A) no payment shall be paid or made available to the Executive under Section 6(a)(i) or 6(b)(i), (B) no unvested Equity Incentive shall become vested pursuant to Section 6(b)(iii) and instead, all then unvested Equity Incentives shall be immediately forfeited, (C) the Company shall be relieved of all obligations to make any further payments, or provide or make available any Benefits, to the Executive pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv) or 6(b)(iv) and (D) the Executive shall be required to repay the Company, in cash, within five (5) business days after written demand is made therefor by the Company, an amount equal to the value of any Benefits received by the Executive pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv) or 6(b)(iv).

7.Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of this Section 7 shall apply notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary.

(a)Intent to Comply with Section 409A of the Code. The parties intend for this Agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

(b)Six-Month Delay of Certain Payments. If, at the time of the Executive’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Executive shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable under this Agreement or any other plan, policy, arrangement or agreement of or with the Company or any Related Company (this Agreement and such other plans, policies, arrangements and agreements, the “Company Plans”) constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six (6)-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company (or a Related Company, as applicable) shall not pay any such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead accumulate such amount and pay it, without interest, on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following such separation from service.

(c)Prohibition of Offsets. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to or for the benefit of the Executive under any Company Plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by the Executive to the Company or any Related Company.

(d)Amendment of Deferred Compensation Plans; Indemnification for Section 409A Taxes. From and after the Effective Date and for the remainder of the Term, (i) the Company shall administer and operate this Agreement and any “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code) (and any other arrangement that could reasonably be expected to constitute such a plan) in which the Executive participates and the Executive’s rights and benefits hereunder and thereunder in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and any rules, regulations or other guidance promulgated thereunder as in effect from time to time, (ii) if the Company determines that any provision of this Agreement or any such plan or arrangement does not comply with Section 409A of the Code or any such rules, regulations or guidance and that the Executive may become subject to additional taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A Tax”), the Company shall amend or modify such provision to avoid the application of such Section 409A Tax but only to the minimum extent necessary to avoid the application of such Section 409A Tax and only to the extent that the Executive would not, as a result, suffer (A) any reduction in the total present value of the amounts otherwise payable to the Executive (determined without application of the Section 409A Tax), or the benefits otherwise to be provided to the Executive, by the Company, (B) any

material increase in the risk of the Executive not receiving such amounts or benefits which he would have received without the application of the Section 409A Tax and any amendment pursuant to this Section 7 or (C) unless the Executive otherwise expressly consents in writing, any significant reduction in the Executive’s legal rights under this Agreement or any Company Plan, and (iii) if, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive is subject to a Section 409A Tax with respect to any such provision, the Company shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless against all taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes) imposed as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with clause (i) of this Section 7(d).

(e)Payment Schedules Relating to Tax Indemnification. Any amounts payable to the Executive in respect of indemnification pursuant to Section 7(d) for the Section 409A Tax (each, a “Section 409A Tax Adjustment Payment”) shall be paid to the Executive as soon as practicable after the applicable liability is incurred, but in any event not later than the last day of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the Executive remits the applicable taxes, interest or penalties to the applicable taxing authority, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v) or any successor thereto. Furthermore, any amounts that the Executive becomes entitled to receive in respect of costs and expenses incurred in connection with a contest relating to Section 7(d) shall be paid to the Executive as soon as practicable after the applicable cost is incurred, but in any event not later than the later of (i) the last day of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the Executive remits the underlying taxes to the applicable taxing authority and (ii) the last day of the calendar year after the calendar year in which the applicable contest is concluded.

(i)Notice. The Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any written claim by the IRS that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Section 409A Tax Adjustment Payment or the recalculation of a Section 409A Tax Adjustment Payment. The notification shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim, including (A) a copy of the written claim from the IRS; (B) the identification of the element of compensation and/or benefit that is the subject of such IRS claim; and (C) the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable, but no later than ten (10) business days after the Executive actually receives notice in writing of such claim. The failure of the Executive to properly notify the Company of the IRS claim (or to provide any required information with respect thereto) shall not affect any rights granted to the Executive under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced in the challenge to such claim as a direct result of such failure.

(ii)Payment. Within ten (10) business days following receipt of such written notification by the Executive of such IRS claim, the Company shall pay to the Executive a Section 409A Tax Adjustment Payment, or the excess of a recalculated Section 409A Tax Adjustment Payment over the initial Section 409A Tax Adjustment Payment, as applicable, related to the element of compensation and/or benefit which is the subject of the IRS claim. Within ten (10) business days following such payment to the Executive, the Executive shall provide to the Company written evidence that he has paid the claim to the IRS (the United States Treasury).

(iii)Contest. If the Company notifies the Executive in writing, within sixty (60) business days following receipt from the Executive of notification of the IRS claim, that it desires to contest such claim, the Executive shall:

(A) Give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim;

(B) Take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time including, without limitation, accepting legal

representation with respect to such claim by an attorney selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive;

(C) Cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim; and

(D) Permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim if the Company elects not to assume and control the defense of such claim;

provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive, on an after-tax basis, for any Section 409A Tax and Income Taxes (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 7, the Company shall have the right, at its sole option, to assume the control of all proceedings in connection with such contest, in which case it may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings, and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim, and may direct the Executive to sue for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner. The Executive agrees to prosecute such contest, as directed by the Company, to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; and provided further, however, that (A) if the Company directs the Executive to pay such claim and sue for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis, and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Section 409A Tax or Income Taxes (including interest or penalties) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income in connection with such advance and (B) any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of tax for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s rights to assume the control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Section 409A Tax Adjustment Payment would be payable hereunder, and the Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the IRS or any other taxing authority. To the extent that the contest of the IRS claim is successful, the Section 409A Tax Adjustment Payment related to the element of compensation and/or benefit that was the subject of the claim shall be recalculated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(e).

(f)Designation of Installments as Separate Payments. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each installment payment to the Executive provided for in this Agreement or any Company Plan shall be deemed to be a “separate payment” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(iii) or any successor thereto.

(g)Timing of Reimbursement Payments and Other Benefits. Except as specifically permitted by Section 409A of the Code, the benefits and reimbursements, including for legal fees, provided to the Executive under this Agreement and any Company Plan during any calendar year shall not affect the benefits and reimbursements to be provided to the Executive under the relevant section of this Agreement or Company Plan in any other calendar year and the right to such benefits and reimbursements cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) or any successor thereto. Furthermore, reimbursement payments shall be made to the Executive as promptly as practicable following the date that the applicable expense is incurred, but in any event not later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the underlying fee, cost or expense is incurred.

(h)Timing of Payments Following Execution of a Release. Any installments scheduled to be paid pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) during any sixty (60) day period following the date of the Executive’s separation from service shall be delayed until the release described in Section 6(h) becomes effective, provided that if such sixty (60) day period begins in one calendar year and ends in another calendar year, then such installments shall be paid in the later of such calendar years. Similarly, if the sixty (60) day period provided for in Section 6(b)(i) begins in one calendar year and ands in another calendar year, then such payment shall be made in the later of such calendar years.

8.Legal Fees. If it shall be necessary or desirable for the Executive to retain legal counsel or incur other costs and expenses in connection with enforcement of the Executive’s rights under this Agreement, the Company shall pay (or the Executive shall be entitled to recover from the Company, as the case may be) his reasonable attorneys’ fees and cost and expenses incurred prior to the tenth anniversary of the expiration of the Term in connection with enforcement of his rights (including the enforcement of any arbitration award in court), (a) if the action relates to the Executive’s employment with the Company or a Related Company during a period ending prior to a Change in Control, only if a final decision in connection with a material issue of the litigation (or arbitration) is issued in the Executive’s favor by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, and (b) if the action relates to the Executive’s employment with the Company or a Related Company during a period following a Change in Control or during a period that both precedes and follows a Change in Control, regardless of the final outcome, unless, in the case of this clause (b), the arbitrator or court shall determine that under the circumstances recovery by the Executive of all or a part of any such fees and costs and expenses would be unjust.

9.Indemnification. The Executive shall be entitled to indemnification by the Company under the Indemnification Terms and Conditions described in Appendix III to this Agreement.

10.Excise Tax. If it is determined (by the reasonable computation by an independent accounting or consulting firm chosen by the Company (the “Firm”), which determination shall be certified by the Firm and set forth in a certificate delivered to the Executive) that the aggregate amount of the payments, distributions, benefits and entitlements of any type paid or provided to the Executive under the terms of this Agreement or under any other plan, program, policy, or other arrangement, either alone or in combination with other elements of compensation and benefits paid or provided to the Executive (including any payment, distribution, benefit or entitlement made by any person or entity effecting a Change in Control), in each case, that could be considered “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (such payments, the “Parachute Payments”) that, but for this Section 10 would be payable to the Executive, exceeds the greatest amount of Parachute Payments that could be paid to the Executive without giving rise to any liability for any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) or any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest or penalties, being hereafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the aggregate amount of Parachute Payments payable to the Executive shall not exceed the amount which produces the greatest after-tax benefit to the Executive after taking into account any Excise Tax to be payable by the Executive as determined by the Firm upon discussion with, and reasonable approval by, the Executive. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision will reduce the amount of Parachute Payments otherwise payable to the Executive, if doing so would place the Executive in a better net after-tax economic position as compared with not doing so (taking into account the Excise Tax payable in respect of such Parachute Payments). The Executive shall be permitted to provide to the Company written notice specifying which of the Parachute Payments will be subject to reduction or elimination; provided, however, that to the extent that the Executive’s ability to exercise such authority would cause any Parachute Payment to become subject to any Section 409A Tax, or if the Executive does not provide the Company with any such written notice, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Parachute Payments by first reducing or eliminating the portion of

the Parachute Payments that are payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating the non-cash portion of the Parachute Payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the furthest in time from the date of the Firm’s determination. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, any notice given by the Executive pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.

11.Wage Withholding and Reporting. All taxable payments, reimbursements, benefits, and other amounts payable or provided by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to applicable wage withholding of Income Taxes and shall be reported on IRS Form W-2.

12.Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise provided by Section 5(e) (Remedies) above, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (or the breach thereof) shall be settled by arbitration in the City of Chicago in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois by one arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to Rule 11 of the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, amended and effective September 15, 2005. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

13.Termination Provisions. The Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Company upon six (6) month’s advance written notice to the Executive; provided, however, that if a Change in Control occurs prior to the expiration of the Term, the Term shall not terminate prior to the second (2^nd) anniversary of the date on which the Change in Control occurs.

14.Company’s Reservation of Rights. The Company reserves the right to discontinue or modify its compensation, incentive, benefit, and perquisite plans, programs, and practices at any time and from time to time. Moreover, the brief summaries contained herein are subject to the terms of such plans, programs, and practices. For purposes of any and all employee benefit plans, the definition of compensation is as stated in such plans. The severance benefits payable under Section 6 are in lieu of all other severance benefits which the Executive would otherwise be entitled to receive from the Company and any Related Company, except as may otherwise be provided in a written agreement specifically referencing this Section 14. The Executive acknowledges and agrees that the severance benefits to which the Executive may become entitled under this Agreement are in excess of those to which the Executive would be entitled to under the Company’s otherwise applicable severance pay plans, and that the Company is agreeing to provide such severance benefits in consideration for the Executive’s agreement to the terms and conditions of Section 5 of this Agreement.

15.Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the Executive and the Company in respect of the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior agreements, promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations, or warranties, whether oral or written, by any officer, executive, or representative of any party hereto. Except as specifically provided in Section 7, no amendments or modifications to this Agreement may be made except in writing signed by the Company (as authorized by the Board or the Committee) and the Executive.

16.Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term and any termination of the Executive’s employment to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.

17.Notices. Any notice and all other communications provided for in this Agreement to be given to a party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person or two

18.Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in part, the remaining portion of such provision, together with all other provisions of this Agreement, shall remain valid and enforceable and continue in full force and effect to the fullest extent consistent with law. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, should the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, any provision of this Agreement be in excess of that which is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, extent, or activities which may be validly enforced.

19.Headings. Headings to Sections hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to alter or affect the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.

20.Injunctive Relief.

Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting either party from pursuing any other remedies for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

21.No Assignment or Attachment. Except as required by law, no right to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to anticipation, commutation, alienation, sale, assignment, encumbrance, charge, pledge, or hypothecation, or to execution, attachment, levy, or similar process or assignment by operation of law, and any attempt, voluntary or involuntary, to effect any such action shall be null, void, and of no effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 21 shall preclude the assumption of such rights by executors, administrators, or other legal representatives of the Executive or his estate and their assigning any rights hereunder to the person or persons entitled thereto; and provided further, however, that the Company may not assign this Agreement except in connection with an assignment or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of the Company or the division, subsidiary, or business unit for which the Executive is providing services under this Agreement or by law as a result of a merger or consolidation.

22.Successors, Assumption of Contract. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company. The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no succession had taken

place. As used in this Agreement, except for purposes of Section 5(a), the term “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor of the Company and any permitted assignee to which this Agreement is assigned.

23.Work For Hire Acknowledgment; Assignment. The Executive acknowledges that all of the Executive’s work on and contributions to the Company’s products (the “Products”) including, without limitation, any and all patterns, designs, and other expressions in any tangible medium (collectively, the “Works”) are within the scope of the Executive’s employment and are a part of the services, duties, and responsibilities of the Executive. All of the Executive’s work on and contributions to the Works will be rendered and made by the Executive for, at the instigation of, and under the overall direction of, the Company, and all of the Executive’s said work and contributions, as well as the Works, are and at all times shall be regarded as “work made for hire” as that term is used in the United States copyright laws. Without curtailing or limiting this acknowledgment, the Executive hereby assigns, grants, and delivers exclusively to the Company, as to work on and contribution to the Products pursuant hereto, all rights, titles, and renewals. The Executive will execute and deliver to the Company, or its successors and assigns, such other and further assignments, instruments, and documents as it from time to time reasonably may request for the purpose of establishing, evidencing, and enforcing or defending its complete, exclusive, perpetual, and worldwide ownership of all rights, titles, and interests of every kind and nature whatsoever, including all copyrights, in and to the Works. The Executive hereby constitutes and appoints the Company as his agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute and deliver said assignments, instruments, or documents as the Executive may fail or refuse to execute and deliver, this power and agency being coupled with an interest and being irrevocable.

24.Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its choice of laws provisions, for contracts made and to be performed wholly in such state; provided, however, the rights of the Executive to indemnification under Section 9 shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

25.Termination of Initial Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, this Agreement shall supersede any other employment agreement, severance agreement, indemnification agreement and change of control agreement between the parties.

INDEMNIFICATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Brunswick Corporation (the “Corporation”) shall indemnify Executive (hereinafter, “Indemnitee”) against expenses and costs incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any claims, suits or proceedings arising from his service to the Corporation, to the fullest extent that is lawful in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

1.Acts and Omissions Covered By This Agreement. The Corporation’s agreement to indemnify Indemnitee (“Agreement”) shall cover any act or omission by an Indemnitee which (i) occurs or is alleged to have occurred by reason of his being or having been an officer or a director, (ii) occurs or is alleged to have occurred before, during or after the time when the Indemnitee served as an officer or a director and (iii) gives rise to, or is the direct or indirect subject of a claim in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding at any time or times whether during or after his service as an officer or director.

2.Indemnity.

(a) The Corporation hereby agrees to indemnify, and keep indemnified in accordance with, and to the fullest extent permitted by the Corporation’s charter and that is lawful, and regardless of any by-law provision to the contrary, Indemnitee, from and against any expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, taxes, penalties and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or a director of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise and whether or not such action is by or in the right of the Corporation or that other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise with respect to which the Indemnitee serves or has served.

(b) Despite anything to the contrary in subsection (a), the Corporation agrees to indemnify Indemnitee in a suit or proceeding initiated by the Indemnitee only if the Indemnitee acted with the authorization of the Corporation in initiating that suit or proceeding.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 5 (Advancement of Expenses), the specific amounts that were actually and reasonably incurred shall be indemnified by the Corporation in the amount submitted by the Indemnitee unless the Board of Directors (the “Board”) determines that the request is unreasonable or unlawful.

8. For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries.

(d) Any indemnification payments made to the Indemnitee shall be made in a manner that does not cause such payments to constitute deferred compensation under Treas. Reg. 1.409A-1(b)(10) and any successor thereto.

3.Burden of Proof. Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification for any act or omission covered in Section 1 of this Agreement. The burden of proof of establishing that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification because of the failure to fulfill some requirement of Delaware law, the Corporation’s charter, by-laws, or this Agreement shall be on the Corporation.

4.Notice by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall notify the Corporation in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification hereunder as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of written threat thereof; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Corporation shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of his rights hereunder.

5.Advancement of Expenses. In the event of any action, suit or proceeding against Indemnitee which may give rise to a right of indemnification from the Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, following written request to the Corporation by the Indemnitee, the Corporation shall advance to Indemnitee amounts to cover expenses incurred by Indemnitee in defending the action, suit or proceeding in advance of final disposition upon receipt of (i) an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount advanced if it shall be ultimately determined in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement that he is not entitled to indemnification by the Corporation, and (ii) satisfactory evidence as to the amount of such expenses. Indemnitee’s written certification together with a copy of the statement paid or to be paid by Indemnitee shall constitute satisfactory evidence unless determined to the contrary in an arbitration proceeding conducted pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement.

6.Non-Exclusivity of Right of Indemnification. The indemnification rights granted to Indemnitee under this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of, or in limitation of, any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under Delaware law, the Corporation’s charter or By-laws, any other agreement, vote of stockholders or directors or otherwise.

7.Termination of Agreement and Survival of Right of Indemnification.

(a) Subject to subparagraph (b) of this section, this Agreement shall terminate when the Indemnitee’s term of office as an officer or a director ends.

(b) The rights granted to Indemnitee hereunder shall continue after termination as provided in Section 1 and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, his personal representative, heirs, executors, administrators and beneficiaries, and this Agreement shall be binding upon the Corporation, its successors and assigns.

8.Arbitration of all Disputes Concerning Entitlement. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement including, without limitation, the Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification under this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration in the City of Chicago administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Interest on any judgment shall be assessed at a rate or rates the arbitrator considers just under the circumstances. If it is necessary or desirable for the Indemnitee to retain legal counsel or incur other costs and expenses in connection with enforcement of his rights under this Agreement, the Corporation shall pay his reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses incurred prior to the tenth anniversary of the expiration of the “Term” (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Employment agreement between the Corporation and the Indemnitee, dated as of [date], 20___, in connection with enforcement of his rights (including the enforcement of any arbitration award in court), regardless of the final outcome, unless the arbitrator determines that under the circumstances recovery by the Indemnitee of all or a part of any such fees and costs and expenses would be unjust.

9.Governing Law. The Corporation’s obligations to indemnify Indemnitee under these terms and conditions shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its choice of law provisions.

10.Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, this invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be interpreted as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not part of this Agreement.

[ADDENDUM TO

AMENDED AND RESTATED TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT

Notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, the Executive shall not be entitled to participate in the basic life insurance component of the Company-sponsored health and welfare benefits offered to senior executives of the Company. Instead, the Executive shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s life insurance plan for senior executives (formerly the “Split Dollar Life Insurance Plan”) under the terms and conditions described in the Memorandum dated April 14, 2004 and incorporated herein by reference.]⁵ 

⁵Of the named executive officers, only Mr. Metzger’s agreement contains this addendum.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) has prepared its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. As stated in Note 2 –Discontinued Operations, Brunswick's results as discussed in the financial statements reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.

Principles of Consolidation. Brunswick's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These estimates affect:

•The reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements;

• The disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and

•The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Estimates in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:

•Allowances for doubtful accounts;

•Inventory valuation reserves;

•Reserves for dealer allowances;

•Reserves related to repurchase and recourse obligations;

•Warranty related reserves;

•Losses on litigation and other contingencies;

•Environmental reserves;

•Insurance reserves;

•Valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets;

•Impairments of long-lived assets;

•Reserves related to restructuring, exit and integration activities;

•Postretirement benefit liabilities;

•Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; and

•Income tax reserves.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. These investments include, but are not limited to, investments in money market funds, bank deposits, federal government and agency debt securities and commercial paper.

Investments in Marketable Securities. The Company classifies investments in debt securities that are not considered to be cash equivalents as Short-term investments in marketable securities as discussed in Note 9 –Investments. Short-term investments in marketable securities have a stated maturity of twelve months or less from the balance sheet date. These securities are considered as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses would be recorded net of tax as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in Unrealized investment losses within Shareholders' equity. Declines in market value from the original cost deemed to be "other-than-temporary" are charged to Other income, net, in the period in which the loss occurs. The Company considers both the duration for which a decline in value has occurred and the extent of the decline in its determination of whether a decline in value has been “other than temporary.” Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the specific identification method and are included in Other income, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Restricted Cash. The Company considers the cash deposited in a trust that is pledged as collateral against certain workers' compensation-related obligations to be restricted cash. Refer to Note 13 –Commitments and Contingencies for more information.

Accounts and Notes Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company carries its accounts and notes receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a regular basis, the Company records an allowance for uncollectible receivables based upon known bad debt risks and past loss history, customer payment practices and economic conditions. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of net receivables. A change to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required if a future event or other change in circumstances results in a change in the estimate of the ultimate collectability of a specific account.

The Company treats the sale of receivables in which the Company retains an interest as a secured obligation. Accordingly, the short-term portion of the receivables sold that are subject to recourse is recorded in Accounts and notes receivable and Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value equal to the estimated selling price less the estimated costs to transact. Approximately 54 percent and 51 percent of the Company's inventories were determined by the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Remaining inventories valued at the last-in, first-out method (LIFO) were $124.9 million and $123.0 million lower than the FIFO cost of inventories at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Inventory cost includes material, labor and manufacturing overhead. There were no liquidations of LIFO inventory layers in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

Property. Property, including major improvements and product tooling costs, is recorded at cost. Product tooling costs principally comprise the cost to acquire and construct various long-lived molds, dies and other tooling the Company uses in its manufacturing processes. Design and prototype development costs associated with product tooling are expensed as incurred. Maintenance and repair costs are also expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated service lives of the related assets, principally using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over a useful life of five to forty years. Equipment is depreciated over a useful life of two to twenty years. Product tooling costs are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the tooling or the anticipated life of the applicable product, for a period up to eight years. The Company capitalizes interest on qualifying assets during the construction period and capitalized $4.6 million and $2.6 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company presents capital expenditures on a cash basis within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. There were $31.0 million and $35.8 million of unpaid capital expenditures within Accounts payable as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company includes gains and losses recognized on the sale and disposal of property in either Selling, general and administrative expenses or Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges as appropriate. The amount of gains and losses for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

(in millions)	2017			2016			2015
Gains on the sale of property	$	0.7		$	0.4		$	1.1
Losses on the sale and disposal of property	(2.3		)	(0.5		)	(2.0		)
Net losses on sale and disposal of property	$	(1.6	)	$	(0.1	)	$	(0.9	)

Software Development Costs. The Company expenses all software development and implementation costs incurred until the Company has determined that the software will result in probable future economic benefit and management has committed to funding the project. Once this is determined, external direct costs of material and services, payroll-related costs of employees working on the project and related interest costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. These capitalized costs are amortized over three to seven years. All other related costs, including training costs and costs to re-engineer business processes, are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets primarily result from business acquisitions. The Company records the excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired as goodwill. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value.

For 2017, the impairment test for goodwill was a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In this second step, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill.  

The Company calculates the fair value of its reporting units considering both the income approach and the guideline public company method.  The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing a Gordon Growth model.  Internally forecasted future cash flows, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate) developed for each reporting unit.  The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, and considers whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific reporting unit’s forecasted performance.  Fair value under the guideline public company method is determined for each unit by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the unit’s financial results.  The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in a reporting unit’s forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and operating margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts, and selecting representative market multiples.

For 2016 and 2015, the Company determined through qualitative assessment that the fair values of its reporting units were “more likely than not” greater than their carrying values. As a result, the Company was not required to perform the two-step impairment test. The Company did not record any goodwill impairments in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

The Company's primary intangible assets are customer relationships, trade names and patents and proprietary technology acquired in business combinations. The costs of amortizable intangible assets are recognized over their expected useful lives, typically between three and sixteen years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate long-lived assets described below. Intangible assets not subject to amortization, including trade names, are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of trade names is measured using a relief-from-royalty approach, which assumes the value of the trade name is the discounted cash flows of the amount that would be paid to third parties had the Company not owned the trade name and instead licensed the trade name from another company. Higher royalty rates are assigned to premium brands within the marketplace based on name recognition and profitability, while other brands receive lower royalty rates. The basis for future sales projections is internal revenue forecasts by brand, which the Company believes represent reasonable market participant assumptions, to which the selected royalty rate is applied. The resulting cash flows are discounted using an applicable Discount Rate which includes any potential risk premium to reflect the inherent risk of holding a standalone intangible asset.

The Company recorded a $13.9 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment during 2017 related to the Cybex trade name. Refer to Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities for further details. The Company did not record impairments for indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2016 and 2015.

Refer to Note 11 –Goodwill and Other Intangibles for more information.

Equity Investments. For investments in which the Company owns or controls from 20 percent to 50 percent of the voting shares, the Company uses the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of net earnings or losses from equity method investments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for other investments, over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the cost method of accounting. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments. See Note 9 –Investments for further details about the Company's evaluation of the fair value of its investments.

Long-Lived Assets. The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. Once an impairment indicator is identified, the Company tests for recoverability of the related asset group using an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the asset group's remaining life. If an asset group's carrying value is not recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset group over the long-lived asset group's fair value. Fair value is determined using observable inputs, including the use of appraisals from independent third parties, when available, and, when observable inputs are not available, based on the Company's assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company uses discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs are unavailable. The Company tested its long-lived asset balances for impairment as indicators arose during 2017, 2016 and 2015, resulting in impairment charges of $0.1 million, $2.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which are recognized either in Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges or Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Long-Term Assets. Other long-term assets consists mainly of long-term receivables originated by the Company and assigned to third parties, long-term pension assets and other long-term receivables and deposits. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, amounts assigned to third parties totaled $30.2 million and $29.0 million, respectively. The assignment of these instruments does not meet sale criteria as a result of the Company's contingent obligation to repurchase the receivables in the event of customer non-payment and therefore is treated as a secured obligation. Accordingly, these amounts were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under Other long-term assets and Long-term liabilities – Other.

Revenue Recognition. Brunswick's revenue is derived primarily from the sale of boats, marine engines, marine parts and accessories, fitness equipment and active recreation products. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the sale, primarily upon shipment to customers, once the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Brunswick offers discounts and sales incentives that include retail promotions and rebates that are recorded as reductions of revenues in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated liability and reduction in revenue for sales incentives is recorded at the later of when the program has been communicated to the customer or at the time of sale. Revenues from freight are included as a part of Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, whereas shipping, freight and handling costs are included in Cost of sales.

Advertising Costs. The Company records advertising and promotion costs in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period when the advertising first takes place. Advertising and promotion costs were $29.9 million, $26.5 million and $28.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Foreign Currency. The functional currency for the majority of Brunswick's operations is the U.S. dollar. All assets and liabilities of operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at period end current rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. Revenues and expenses of operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded in either Cost of sales or Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Trademark Licensing Agreement. On September 18, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its retail bowling business to AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. (AMF) and entered into a trademark licensing agreement, allowing AMF to use the Company's retail trademarks and trade names over a five year period from the date of sale. As a result, the Company recorded deferred income of $20.7 million related to this agreement, which will be recognized as Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over five years.

Share-Based Compensation. The Company records amounts for all share-based compensation, including grants of stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock awards and performance-based share awards over the vesting period in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based upon their fair values at the date of the grant. Share-based compensation costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 18 –Stock Plans and Management Compensation for a description of the Company's accounting for share-based compensation plans.

Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Derivatives. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risk associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. These instruments are used in accordance with guidelines established by the Company's management and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. See Note 14 –Financial Instruments for further discussion.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  The following recent accounting pronouncements have been adopted during 2017 or will be adopted in future periods.

Hedge Accounting: In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 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.

Presentation of Benefit Costs: In March 2017, the FASB amended the 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 amendments require entities to present the current-service-cost component with other current compensation costs in the income statement and present the other components outside of income from operations. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, 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.

Statements of Cash Flows Classifications: In August 2016, the FASB 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 is currently evaluating the impact it will have on its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Share-Based Compensation:In March 2016, the FASB amended the ASC to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2017, and recognized $7.9 million of net excess tax benefits related to share-based payments in the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017. These net excess tax benefits were historically recorded in additional paid-in capital when recognized. Additionally, the Company adopted the amendment retrospectively for presentation of net excess tax benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, resulting in an increase of $13.4 million and $7.0 million in both Net cash provided by operating activities and Net cash used for financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company also elected to recognize forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. The remaining amendments, including those related to statutory withholding requirements, did not have a material impact.

Recognition of Leases: In February 2016, the FASB 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 continue to 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 consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued a final standard on revenue recognition which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This standard will supersede current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, entities are required to identify the contract with a customer; identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and recognize the appropriate amount of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies each performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB amended the ASC to delay the effective date to fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2018, from the original effective date of January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted no earlier than January 1, 2017. Entities have the option of using either retrospective transition or a modified retrospective approach in applying the new standard.

The Company will use the modified retrospective approach in applying the new standard. There are no significant implementation matters that have yet to be addressed. The Company determined that the standard does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The cumulative net adjustment to the 2018 beginning Retained earnings balance is expected to be less than $35 million. The most meaningful changes will be in the Fitness and Boat segments. In the Boat segment, certain customers are offered retail promotions that are currently recorded at the later of when the program has been communicated to the customer or at the time of sale. Under the new standard, these promotions will now be estimated and recognized at the time of sale, primarily upon shipment to customers. In the Fitness segment, certain customer contracts include product rebates recorded in cost of sales at the time of sale. Under the new standard, the Company will no longer record the rebate at the time of sale; however, a portion of revenue will be deferred and not recognized until the rebate is redeemed. As a result, there are changes in the timing of recording certain promotions and rebates, including but not limited to those described above, however, there are no changes in the total amount of cumulative revenue recognized for each transaction.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

On December 5, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Sea Ray businesses, including the Meridian brand, as a result of, among other things, a change in strategic direction and a review of the expected future cash flows, market conditions and business trends. The Company considered both quantitative and qualitative factors in reaching its decision to report these businesses as discontinued operations, with key factors including: the exit is part of the Company's strategic shift to focus on outboard boat categories; represents a material portfolio shift and reduction in the boat segment revenues; and represents the exit from substantially all of its boat brands participating in the inboard/sterndrive boat category, particularly large and premium offerings. In addition, the Company has determined that exiting the Sea Ray business represents a material strategic shift, with commensurate impacts on Brunswick’s operations and financial results. The Company commenced its process to sell the Sea Ray business in December 2017 and is targeting completion of the sales process in the first half of 2018.

As a result, the Company reclassified the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. Additionally, these businesses, which were previously reported in the Company's Boat segment, are being reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. General allocations of corporate overhead and Boat segment shared services costs are not included in these results.

In conjunction with the decision to classify the Sea Ray assets and liabilities as held for sale, the Company evaluated the disposal group's fair value, less costs to sell, and compared that to its carrying value. The fair value of the disposal group, which was determined using market data for a similar transaction (a Level 3 input) as well as a discounted cash flow analysis (a Level 3 input), was determined to be less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $36.0 million, $23.8 million after-tax, primarily related to an impairment of long-lived assets in the fourth quarter of 2017. This charge is based on estimated proceeds from the sale which may differ from actual proceeds.

On July 17, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its retail bowling business to AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. In connection with its decision to sell its bowling centers, the Company also announced its intention to divest its bowling products business. As a result of these actions, these businesses were reported as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company does not have any significant continuing involvement or continuing cash flows associated with these businesses.

On May 22, 2015, the Company completed the sale of its bowling products business which yielded net cash proceeds of $42.2 million and an after-tax gain of $10.3 million.

The following table discloses the results of operations of the businesses reported as discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively:

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring Activities

Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities

The Company has announced and implemented a number of initiatives designed to improve its cost structure, better utilize overall capacity, improve general operating efficiencies and consolidate the operations of recently acquired businesses. These initiatives resulted in the recognition of restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2017, 2016 and 2015.

The costs incurred under these initiatives include:

•Restructuring and Exit Activities – These amounts relate to:

• Employee termination and other benefits

• Costs to retain and relocate employees

• Consulting costs

• Consolidation of manufacturing footprint

• Facility shutdown costs

•Asset Disposition and Impairment Actions – These amounts relate to sales and impairments of assets. Impairments of assets are recognized when the carrying amount of the asset is not expected to be fully recoverable. The impairments recognized were equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the estimated fair value of the asset, which was determined using observable inputs, including appraisals from independent third parties when available. When observable inputs were not available, estimated fair value was determined using the Company’s assumptions, including the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company used discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs were unavailable.

•Integration Activities – These amounts relate to professional fees for systems integration and deal costs, employee termination and benefits and other charges associated with integrating the operations of recently acquired businesses.

•Intangible Asset Impairments – These amounts relate to impairments of intangible assets recognized as a result of the Company's periodic impairment testing. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually, and all intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of an intangible asset may be below its carrying value. Refer to Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policies for further details about the Company's impairment testing procedures. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge for the Cybex trade name as a result of declining sales and operating performance. The Company used a relief-from-royalty analysis, a Level 3 input, to assess the fair value of the Cybex trade name. The impairment charge was recorded within the Fitness segment.

The Company has reported restructuring, exit, integration and impairment activities based on the specific driver of the cost and reflected the expense in the accounting period when the Company has committed to or incurred the cost, as appropriate. The following table is a summary of the net expense associated with the restructuring, exit, integration and impairment activities for 2017, 2016 and 2015. The 2017 charges related to actions initiated in 2017 and 2016. The 2016 charges related to actions initiated in 2016 and 2015. The 2015 charges related to actions initiated in 2015.

(A) Total cash payments include payments related to prior period charges.

(B) Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges accrued as of December 31, 2017 are expected to be paid during 2018.

Reductions in demand for the Company’s products, further refinement of its product portfolio, further opportunities to reduce costs or the cost of integrating future acquisitions may result in additional restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges in future periods.

Actions Initiated in 2017

During 2017, the Company executed certain restructuring and exit activities within the Fitness, Boat and Corporate segments, resulting in the recognition of restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In the third quarter of 2017, the Company recorded restructuring charges within the Fitness segment for the write-down of inventory and tooling related to the exit of the InMovement product line.

In the second, third and fourth quarters of 2017, the Company implemented headcount reductions in the Fitness and Boat segments aimed at improving general operating efficiencies.

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 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.

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company also recorded restructuring charges within Corporate related to the transition of certain corporate officers.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.

• Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments.

• Level 3 - Unobservable inputs, for which there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The following table summarizes Brunswick’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017:    

(in millions)	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Assets:
Cash equivalents	$	34.4	$	—	$	34.4

Financing Receivables

Financing Receivables

The Company has recorded financing receivables, which are defined as a contractual right to receive money, as assets on its Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016. Substantially all of the Company’s financing receivables are for commercial customers, which includes receivables sold to third-party finance companies (Third-Party Receivables) and customer notes and other (Other Receivables). Third-Party Receivables are accounts that have been sold to third-party finance companies, but do not meet the definition of a true sale, and are therefore recorded as an asset with an offsetting balance recorded as a secured obligation in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities as discussed in Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policies. Other Receivables are mostly comprised of notes from customers, which are originated by the Company in the normal course of business. Financing receivables are carried at their face amounts less an allowance for credit losses.

The Company sells a broad range of recreational products to a worldwide customer base and extends credit to its customers based upon an ongoing credit evaluation program. The Company’s business units maintain credit organizations to manage financial exposure and perform credit risk assessments on an individual account basis. Accounts are not aggregated into categories for credit risk determinations. Due to the composition of the account portfolio, the Company does not believe that the credit risk posed by the Company’s financing receivables is significant to its operations, financial condition or cash flows. There were no significant troubled debt restructurings during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 or 2015.

The following are the Company’s financing receivables, excluding trade accounts receivable contractually due within one year as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

(in millions)	December 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
Third-Party Receivables:

Investments in Marketable Securities

The Company invests a portion of its cash reserves in marketable debt securities. These investments are reported in Short-term investments in marketable securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following is a summary of the fair values, which were equal to the amortized costs, of the Company’s available-for-sale securities, all due in one year or less, as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:

(in millions)	2017		2016
Commercial Paper	$	—	$	35.0
U.S. Treasury Bills	0.8		0.8
Total available-for-sale securities	$	0.8	$	35.8

The Company had $35.0 million, $10.7 million and $109.8 million in maturities of available-for-sale securities during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company had no sales of available-for-sale securities during 2017 and 2016, and had $9.5 million of sales of available-for-sale securities during 2015.

At each reporting date, management reviews the debt securities to determine if any loss in the value of a security below its amortized cost should be considered “other-than-temporary.”  For the evaluation, management determines whether it intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the securities. This determination considers current and forecasted liquidity requirements, regulatory and capital requirements and the strategy for managing the Company’s securities portfolio. For all impaired debt securities for which there was no intent or expected requirement to sell, the evaluation considers all available evidence to assess whether it is likely the amortized cost value will be recovered. The Company also considers the nature of the securities, the credit rating or financial condition of the issuer, the extent and duration of the unrealized loss and market conditions.  As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no unrealized losses related to debt securities that required management evaluation.

Equity Investments

The Company has certain unconsolidated international and domestic affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method is applied in situations in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investees. Management reviews equity investments for impairment whenever indicators are present suggesting that the carrying value of an investment is not recoverable. The following items are examples of impairment indicators: significant, sustained declines in an investee’s revenue, earnings, and cash flow trends; adverse market conditions of the investee’s industry or geographic area; the investee’s inability to execute its operating plan; the investee’s ability to continue operations measured by several items, including liquidity; and other factors. Once an impairment indicator is identified, management uses considerable judgment to determine if the decline in value is other than temporary, in which case the equity investment is written down to its estimated fair value, which could negatively impact reported results of operations.

Refer to Note 10 –Financial Services for more details on the Company’s Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC joint venture.

In 2017, the Company contributed $2.1 million to fund a part ownership of TN-BC Holdings, LLC (TN-BC), a joint venture with TechNexus Holdings, LLC. Contributions to TN-BC are strategically invested in targeted growth opportunities determined by the joint venture's investment committee.

The Company also contributed $1.6 million, $1.0 million and $0.6 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, to fund a part ownership of Mercury Finance, a joint venture between Brunswick's Mercury Marine division and Allied Credit, an Australian-based finance company.

Brunswick received $0.4 million in dividends from its unconsolidated affiliates in 2017 and did not receive any dividends from its unconsolidated affiliates in 2016 or 2015.

Financial Services

The Company, through its Brunswick Financial Services Corporation (BFS) subsidiary, owns a 49 percent interest in a joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC). CDF Ventures, LLC (CDFV), a subsidiary Wells Fargo and Company, owns the remaining 51 percent. Prior to March 1, 2016, GE Capital Corporation (GECC) owned CDFV. On March 1, 2016, GECC completed the sale of its Commercial Distribution Finance business, including CDFV and its interest in the BAC joint venture, to Wells Fargo & Company. The transaction did not have a material effect on BAC.

In June 2016, the parties amended the joint venture agreement to adjust a financial covenant that was conformed to the maximum leverage ratio test contained in the Credit Facility; as of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant under both the joint venture agreement and the Credit Facility as described in Note 16 –Debt. In July 2015, the parties extended the term of the BAC joint venture through December 31, 2019. The joint venture agreement contains provisions allowing for the renewal of the agreement or the purchase of the other party’s interest in the joint venture at the end of its term. Alternatively, either partner may terminate the agreement at the end of its term.

BAC is funded in part through a $1.0 billion secured borrowing facility from Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (WFCDF), which is in place through the term of the joint venture, and with equity contributions from both partners.  BAC also sells a portion of its receivables to a securitization facility, the Wells Fargo Dealer Floorplan Master Note Trust, which is arranged by Wells Fargo. The sales of these receivables meet the requirements of a “true sale” and are therefore not retained on the financial statements of BAC. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries guarantee the indebtedness of BAC. In addition, BAC is not responsible for any continuing servicing costs or obligations with respect to the securitized receivables. 

The Company considers BFS’s investment in BAC as an investment in a variable interest entity of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. To be considered the primary beneficiary, the Company must have the power to direct the activities of BAC that most significantly impact BAC’s economic performance and the Company must have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from BAC that could be potentially significant to BAC. Based on the Company's qualitative analysis, BFS did not meet the definition of a primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company accounts for BFS’s investment in BAC under the equity method and records it as a component of Equity investments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records BFS’s share of income or loss in BAC based on its ownership percentage in the joint venture in Equity earnings in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. BFS’s equity investment is adjusted monthly to maintain a 49 percent interest in accordance with the capital provisions of the joint venture agreement. The Company funds its investment in BAC through cash contributions and reinvested earnings. BFS’s total investment in BAC at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $17.8 million and $16.9 million, respectively.

The Company’s maximum loss exposure relating to BAC is detailed as follows:

(in millions)	December 31, 2017			December 31, 2016
Investment	$	17.8		$	16.9
Repurchase and recourse obligations (A)	39.9			36.8
Liabilities (B)	(0.9		)	(1.0		)
Total maximum loss exposure	$	56.8		$	52.7

(A) Repurchase and recourse obligations are off-balance sheet obligations provided by the Company for the Boat and Marine Engine segments, respectively, and are included within the Maximum Potential Obligations disclosed in Note 13 –Commitments and Contingencies. Repurchase and recourse obligations include a North American repurchase agreement with WFCDF and could be reduced by repurchase activity occurring under other similar agreements with WFCDF and affiliates. The Company’s risk under these repurchase arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction. Amounts above exclude any potential recoveries from the value of the repurchased product.

(B) Represents accrued amounts for potential losses related to recourse exposure and the Company’s expected losses on obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of these products to alternative dealers.

BFS recorded income related to the operations of BAC of $6.0 million, $4.8 million and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law. The TCJA makes significant changes to the U.S. tax code effective for 2018, although certain provisions affected the Company’s 2017 financial results. The changes impacting 2017 include, but are not limited to, the write-down of net deferred tax assets resulting from the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, imposing a one-time deemed repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and bonus depreciation that will allow for immediate full expensing of qualified property. The TCJA also establishes new corporate tax laws that will be effective in 2018 but do not impact the Company’s 2017 financial results. These 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 income and 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 provides 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 allows the Company to provide provisional estimates of the impact of the TCJA in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, based on information and IRS guidance currently available, we have recorded a discrete net tax expense of $71.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. This consists primarily of a net charge of $56.5 million for the write down of our net deferred tax balances 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. The Company has not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA and the provisional amounts will 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 continues to analyze the TCJA and refines its calculations which could potentially affect the remeasurement of 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 creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e. 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 future 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. Because 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, we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of this provision of the TCJA. Therefore, the Company has not made any adjustments related to potential GILTI tax in its financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2017, and we have not 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. Additional impacts from the enactment of the TCJA will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as allowed in SAB 118.

Deferred tax liabilities	$	(87.6	)	$	(89.1	)
Total net deferred tax assets	$	160.8		$	305.3

The Company's total net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2017 reflects the impact of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate reduction from 35 percent to 21 percent that was part of the TCJA. The Company was required to write down the value of its net deferred tax balance to reflect the new lower tax rate.

At December 31, 2017, the Company had a total valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $81.4 million. The remaining realizable value of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2017 was determined by evaluating the potential to recover the value of these assets through the utilization of tax loss and credit carrybacks, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and carryforwards, certain tax planning strategies and future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. At December 31, 2017, the Company retained valuation allowance reserves of $53.7 million against deferred tax assets in the U.S. primarily related to non-amortizable intangibles and various state operating loss carryforwards and state tax credits that are subject to restrictive rules for future utilization, and valuation allowances of $27.7 million for deferred tax assets related to foreign jurisdictions, primarily Brazil.

At December 31, 2017, the tax benefit of loss carryforwards totaling $75.9 million was available to reduce future tax liabilities. This deferred tax asset was comprised of $2.1 million for the tax benefit of federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, $45.8 million for the tax benefit of state NOL carryforwards and $28.0 million for the tax benefit of foreign NOL carryforwards. NOL carryforwards of $49.5 million expire at various intervals between the years 2018 and 2037, while $26.4 million have an unlimited life.

At December 31, 2017, tax credit carryforwards totaling $43.8 million were available to reduce future tax liabilities. This deferred tax asset was comprised of $2.4 million related to general business credits and other miscellaneous federal credits, and $41.4 million of various state tax credits related to research and development, capital investment and job incentives. Tax credit carryforwards of $43.6 million expire at various intervals between the years 2018 and 2037, while $0.2 million have an unlimited life.

The Company has historically provided deferred taxes for the presumed ultimate repatriation to the U.S. of earnings from certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates. Through December 31, 2014 the indefinite reinvestment criteria had been applied to certain entities and allowed the Company to overcome that presumption to the extent the earnings were to be indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. As a result of the Company's internal restructuring of its foreign entities that was initiated in 2015, the Company determined that the indefinite reinvestment assertion should be expanded to include additional non-U.S. subsidiaries. As a result of the 2015 actions, the Company recorded a discrete net tax benefit in 2015 which includes the benefit of applying the indefinite reinvestment assertion to the foreign entities reorganized under a new European holding company. 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 assertion as of December 31, 2017. The Company is considering remitting cash back to the U.S. in 2018 from non-U.S. subsidiaries and as such, the Company will no longer assert that it is permanently reinvested in any non-U.S. subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017. These remittances would be considered dividends and under changes made by the TCJA these dividends would be subject to a 100 percent dividend received deduction and would not result in any U.S. federal tax liability. As of December 31, 2017 the Company has provided deferred taxes for jurisdictions where dividends would be subject to withholding taxes. 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.

As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 the Company had $2.3 million, $3.5 million and $4.8 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. Substantially all of these amounts, if recognized, would impact the Company's tax provision and the effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the amounts accrued for interest and penalties were not significant.

The following is a reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties for the 2017, 2016 and 2015 annual reporting periods:

(in millions)	2017			2016			2015
Balance at January 1	$	3.4		$	4.7		$	4.8
Gross increases - tax positions prior periods	0.1			0.3			0.4
Gross decreases - tax positions prior periods	(0.2		)	(0.4		)	(0.1		)
Gross increases - current period tax positions	0.4			0.5			0.5
Decreases - settlements with taxing authorities	(0.5		)	—			(0.6		)
Reductions - lapse of statute of limitations	(1.1		)	(1.7		)	—
Other	—			0.0			(0.3		)
Balance at December 31	$	2.1		$	3.4		$	4.7

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2017 could decrease by approximately $0.7 million in 2018 due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in applicable statutes of limitation. 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 at this time.

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 2012 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 and the IRS field examination of the 2014 tax year is completed. The Company is awaiting the Revenue Agents Report for 2014 and does not expect any material adjustments. 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.

The difference between the actual income tax provision (benefit) and the tax provision computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate to Earnings before income taxes is attributable to the following:

(in millions)	2017			2016			2015
Income tax provision at 35 percent	$	120.2		$	136.2		$	110.2
State and local income taxes, net of Federal income tax effect	7.4			8.3			7.1

Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $13.5 million charge for costs related to field campaigns pertaining to certain Cybex products designed prior to the acquisition. The charge consisted of $8.4 million and $5.1 million within Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively. The Company has made indemnification claims against the seller for recovery that includes these amounts, but has not yet recorded an offsetting receivable in the financial statements.

Upon the Company’s acquisition of the Cybex business on January 20, 2016, Cybex was subject to an ongoing investigation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding the timeliness of a recall of theCybex arm curl product. The purchase agreement contained specific language providing that the seller will fully indemnify and hold harmless the Company for all losses related to the CPSC’s investigation of the arm curl product. In the third quarter of 2017, the CPSC concluded its investigation and issued a letter to Cybex offering to settle the arm curl investigation for a civil penalty in the amount of $6.3 million. The Company accrued this amount and fully offset it with an indemnification receivable from the seller and continues to negotiate a final settlement amount with the CPSC.

On January 21, 2015, Cobalt Boats, LLC (Cobalt) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company alleging that certain of the Company’s Sea Ray branded boats include a feature that infringes a Cobalt patent relating to a submersible swim step. On October 31, 2017, the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia entered an amended judgment on the jury verdict awarding total damages, including enhanced damages, in the amount of $5.4 million plus attorneys' fees of $2.5 million and applicable interest. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and is pursuing an appeal. Charges and expenses related to the Cobalt case are included in discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Financial Commitments

The Company has entered into guarantees of indebtedness of third parties, primarily in connection with customer financing programs. Under these arrangements, the Company has guaranteed customer obligations to the financial institutions in the event of customer default, generally subject to a maximum amount that is less than the total outstanding obligations. The Company has also extended guarantees to third parties that have purchased customer receivables from Brunswick and, in certain instances, has guaranteed secured term financing of its customers. Potential payments in connection with these customer financing arrangements generally extend over several years. The single year potential cash obligations associated with these customer financing arrangements as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $41.4 million and $31.5 million, respectively. The maximum potential cash obligations associated with these customer financing arrangements as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $49.2 million and $39.6 million, respectively.

In most instances, upon repurchase of the receivable or note, the Company receives rights to the collateral securing the financing. The Company’s risk under these arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the collateral that secures the financing. The Company had $1.1 million and $1.2 million accrued for potential losses related to recourse exposure at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company has accounts receivable sale arrangements with third parties which are included in the guarantee arrangements discussed above. The Company treats the sale of receivables in which the Company retains an interest as a secured obligation as the transfers of the receivables under these arrangements do not meet the requirements of a “true sale.” Accordingly, the current portion of receivables underlying these arrangements of $23.7 million and $22.0 million was recorded in Accounts and notes receivable and Accrued expenses as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Further, the long-term portion of these arrangements of $30.2 million and $29.0 million as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, was recorded in Other long-term assets and Other long-term liabilities.

The Company has also entered into arrangements with third-party lenders in which it has agreed, in the event of a customer default, to repurchase from the third-party lender those Brunswick products repossessed from the customer. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The single year and maximum potential cash payments the Company could be required to make to repurchase collateral as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $53.6 million and $59.9 million, respectively.

The Company’s risk under these repurchase arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction. The Company had $0.8 million and $0.9 million accrued for potential losses related to repurchase exposure as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The Company’s repurchase accrual represents the expected losses that could result from obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of those products to alternative dealers.

The Company has recorded its estimated net liability associated with losses from these guarantee and repurchase obligations on its Consolidated Balance Sheets based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Historical cash requirements and losses associated with these obligations have not been significant, but could increase if dealer defaults exceed current expectations.

Financial institutions have issued standby letters of credit and surety bonds conditionally guaranteeing obligations on behalf of the Company totaling $5.3 million and $15.3 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2017. A large portion of these standby letters of credit and surety bonds are related to the Company’s self-insured workers’ compensation program as required by its insurance companies and various state agencies. The Company has recorded reserves to cover the anticipated liabilities associated with these programs. Under certain circumstances, such as an event of default under the Company’s revolving credit facility, or, in the case of surety bonds, a ratings downgrade, the Company could be required to post collateral to support the outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds. The Company was not required to post letters of credit as collateral against surety bonds as of December 31, 2017.

The Company has a collateral trust arrangement with insurance carriers and a trustee bank. The trust is owned by the Company, but the assets are pledged as collateral against workers’ compensation related obligations in lieu of other forms of collateral including letters of credit. In connection with this arrangement, the Company had $9.4 million and $11.2 million of cash in the trust at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which was classified as Restricted cash in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. In both 2017 and 2016, insurance carriers reduced the required collateral amount, which resulted in a $1.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively, transferred out of the trust.

Product Warranties

The Company records a liability for product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The liability is estimated using historical warranty experience, projected claim rates and expected costs per claim. The Company adjusts its liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated. Product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure affect the Company's warranty liabilities. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, the Company must make a revision to the warranty liability. Changes in the Company's warranty liabilities resulting from the Company's experience and adjustments related to changes in estimates are included as Aggregate changes for preexisting warranties presented in the table below.

The following activity related to product warranty liabilities was recorded in Accrued expenses during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

(in millions)	2017			2016
Balance at beginning of period	$	100.2		$	93.3

Foreign currency translation	1.8			(0.4		)
Acquisitions	—			7.1
Other	(0.6		)	2.3
Balance at end of period	$	111.3		$	100.2

Additionally, end users of the Company's products may purchase a contract from the Company that extends product warranty beyond the standard period. For certain extended warranty contracts in which the Company retains the warranty or administration obligation, a deferred revenue liability is recorded based on the aggregate sales price for contracts sold. The liability is reduced and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period during which corresponding costs are expected to be incurred. The Company updated certain amounts to properly reflect the activity within the prior year extended warranty contracts sold and revenue recognized on existing extended warranty contracts captions, as outlined in the table below.

The following activity related to deferred revenue for extended product warranty contracts was recorded in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

(in millions)	2017			2016
Balance at beginning of period	$	90.6		$	78.3
Extended warranty contracts sold	51.8			39.7

Foreign currency translation	0.8			(0.7		)
Acquisitions	—			2.6
Balance at end of period	$	112.1		$	90.6

Legal and Environmental

The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Adjustments to estimates are recorded in the period they are identified. Management does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for the Company’s litigation claims and matters, if any, has been incurred. In light of existing accruals, the Company's litigation claims, when finally resolved, are not expected, in the opinion of management, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 and other federal and state legislation governing the generation and disposal of certain hazardous wastes. These proceedings, which involve both on- and off-site waste disposal or other contamination, in many instances seek compensation or remedial action from the Company as a waste generator under Superfund legislation, which authorizes action regardless of fault, legality of original disposition or ownership of a disposal site. The Company has established accruals based on a range of cost estimates for all known claims.

The environmental remediation and clean-up projects in which the Company is involved have an aggregate estimated range of exposure of approximately $21.0 million to $39.2 million as of December 31, 2017. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accruals for environmental liabilities of $21.0 million and $33.0 million , respectively, reflected in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded environmental provisions of $0.0 million, $0.3 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company accrues for environmental remediation-related activities for which commitments or clean-up plans have been developed and for which costs can be reasonably estimated. All accrued amounts are generally determined in consultation with third-party experts on an undiscounted basis and do not consider recoveries from third parties until such recoveries are realized. In light of existing accruals, the Company's environmental claims, when finally resolved, are not expected, in the opinion of management, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

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.

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risks associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Derivative instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges to specific forecasted transactions. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and monthly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the anticipated cash flows of the hedged item. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and immediately recognizes the gains and losses associated with those hedges. There were no material adjustments as a result of ineffectiveness to the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded. The effects of derivative financial instruments are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations when considered together with the underlying exposure being hedged. Use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to credit risk with its counterparties when the fair value of a derivative contract is an asset. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into derivative contracts with highly rated counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to counterparty credit risk is limited to the asset value of derivative financial instruments.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company enters into certain derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.  The Company executes both forward and option contracts, based on forecasted transactions, to manage foreign currency exchange exposure mainly related to inventory purchase and sales transactions. From time-to-time, the Company enters into commodity swap agreements based on anticipated purchases of aluminum, copper and natural gas to manage risk related to price changes. Additionally, the Company may enter into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of debt.

A cash flow hedge requires that as changes in the fair value of derivatives occur, the portion of the change deemed to be effective is recorded temporarily in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 31, 2017, the term of derivative instruments hedging forecasted transactions ranged up to 18 months. 

The following activity related to cash flow hedges was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31:

	Accumulated Unrealized Derivative
	Gains (Losses)
	2017						2016
(in millions)	Pretax			After-tax			Pretax			After-tax
Beginning balance	$	1.1		$	(5.6	)	$	0.4		$	(5.9	)
Net change in value of outstanding hedges	(10.9		)	(7.5		)	2.9			2.1
Net amount recognized into earnings	2.0			1.3			(2.2		)	(1.8		)
Ending balance	$	(7.8	)	$	(11.8	)	$	1.1		$	(5.6	)

Fair Value Hedges. The Company enters into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from fixed to floating rate debt. An interest rate swap is entered into with the expectation that the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap will offset the change in the fair value of the debt instrument attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Each period, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap asset or liability is recorded in debt and the difference between the fixed interest payment and floating interest receipts is recorded as a net adjustment to interest expense.

Other Hedging Activity. The Company has entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts that have not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. These contracts are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to changes in the value of assets or liabilities caused by changes in foreign exchange rates. The change in the fair value of the foreign currency derivative contract and the corresponding change in the fair value of the asset or liability of the Company are both recorded through earnings, each period as incurred.

Foreign Currency Derivatives. The Company enters into forward and option contracts to manage foreign exchange exposure related to forecasted transactions and assets and liabilities that are subject to risk from foreign currency rate changes. These exposures include: product costs; revenues and expenses; associated receivables and payables; intercompany obligations and receivables and other related cash flows.

Forward exchange contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 had notional contract values of $312.6 million and $255.0 million, respectively. Option contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, had notional contract values of $18.0 million and $30.4 million, respectively. The forward and options contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017, mature during 2018 and 2019 and mainly relate to the Euro, Japanese yen, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Swedish krona, British pound, Norwegian krone, Brazilian real, Mexican peso, New Zealand dollar, Hungarian forint and Taiwan dollar. As of December 31, 2017, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $4.3 million of net losses (based on current rates) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.

Interest Rate Derivatives. The Company enters into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from fixed to floating rate debt. As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding swaps had notional contract values of $200.0 million, of which $150.0 million corresponds to the Company's 4.625 percent Senior notes due 2021 and $50.0 million corresponds to the Company's 7.375 percent Debentures due 2023. These instruments have been designated as fair value hedges, with the fair value recorded in long-term debt as discussed in Note 16 –Debt.

The Company may also enter into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with anticipated debt issuances. There were no forward-starting interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $3.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of net deferred losses associated with all settled forward-starting interest rate swaps, which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2017, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $0.9 million of net losses resulting from settled forward-starting interest rate swaps from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense.

Commodity Price Derivatives. From time-to-time, the Company uses commodity swaps to hedge anticipated purchases of aluminum, copper and natural gas. There were no commodity swap contracts outstanding at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. 

As of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments were:

The 2021, 2023 and 2027 notes are unsecured and do not contain subsidiary guarantees. Interest on the Company's notes is due semi-annually. The Company's 2021 and 2027 notes are subject to redemption at any time at the Company's discretion, in whole or in part, at redemption prices specified in the respective agreements, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company's 2023 notes are not subject to redemption provisions. The Company may be required to repurchase the 2021 notes in the event of a change of control, subject to certain circumstances, for an amount equal to 101 percent of the outstanding principal plus any accrued and unpaid interest at the time of the change of control.

In June 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Facility). The Credit Facility amended and restated the Company's existing credit agreement, dated as of March 2011, as amended and restated as of June 2014. The Credit Facility provides for $300.0 million of borrowing capacity and is in effect through June 2021. No borrowings were outstanding as of December 31, 2017 or during 2017 or 2016, and available borrowing capacity totaled $295.7 million, net of $4.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility includes provisions to add an additional $100.0 million of capacity and extend the facility for two additional one-year terms, subject to lender approval. The Company currently pays a facility fee of 20 basis points per annum. The facility fee per annum will be within a range of 12.5 to 35 basis points based on the Company's credit rating. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has two borrowing options: borrowing at a rate tied to adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 130 basis points or a base rate plus a margin of 30.0 basis points. The rates are determined by the Company's credit ratings, with spreads ranging from 100 to 190 basis points for LIBOR rate borrowings and 0 to 90 basis points for base rate borrowings. The Company is required to maintain compliance with two financial covenants included in the Credit Facility: a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The minimum interest coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, is not permitted to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. The maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, is not permitted to be more than 3.50 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility.

As provided under the terms of its loan agreement with the Fond du Lac County Economic Development Corporation, which is secured by the Company's property located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, up to a maximum 43 percent of the principal due annually can be forgiven if the Company achieves certain employment targets as outlined in the agreement. The amount of loan forgiveness is based on average employment levels at the end of the previous four quarters. Total loan forgiveness in both 2017 and 2016 was $2.1 million or 43 percent of the principal due, and total loan forgiveness in 2015 was $2.0 million, or 41 percent of the principal due.

The Company historically maintained four qualified defined benefit plans: the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (Salaried Plan), the Brunswick Pension Plan for Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees (Bargaining Plan), the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Employees (Hourly Plan) and the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Wage Employees (Muskegon Plan). The Company took actions to terminate the Hourly Plan and the Muskegon Plan, effective as of December 31, 2016, and all benefits were paid during 2017 as described below.

During 2017, total settlement payments of $132.7 million were made from the Bargaining Plan and Salaried Plan to purchase group annuity contracts to cover future benefit payments. In addition, settlement payments totaling $101.7 million were made from the Hourly Plan and the Muskegon Plan in connection with plan terminations. The settlement payments included group annuity contracts to cover future benefit payments as well as lump-sum benefit payments to certain participants.

The annuity contracts unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full payment of all future annuity payments to the participants. The insurance company assumed all investment risk associated with the assets and obligations that were transferred. The Company recognized a pretax settlement loss of $96.6 million at December 31, 2017 related to these actions.

During 2016, total settlement payments of $125.2 million were made from the Bargaining Plan and the Salaried Plan to purchase group annuity contracts to cover future benefit payments. The annuity contract unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full payment of all future annuity payments to the affected participants. The insurance company assumed all risk associated with the assets and obligations that were transferred. The Company recognized a pretax settlement loss of $55.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2016 relating to this action.

During 2015, total settlement payments of $191.8 million were made from the Brunswick Pension Plan For Selected Current And Former Employees and the Salaried Plan, consisting of lump-sum pension distributions of $61.7 million and the purchase of group annuity contracts totaling $130.1 million to cover future benefit payments. The annuity contract unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full payment of all future annuity payments to the affected participants. The insurance company assumed all risk associated with the assets and obligations that were transferred. The Company recognized a pretax settlement loss of $82.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 related to these actions.

(A) As all of the Company's plans are frozen, the projected benefit obligation and the accumulated benefit obligation are equal. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the projected and accumulated benefit obligations for all of the Company's pension plans were in excess of plan assets.

The funded status of these pension plans includes the projected and accumulated benefit obligations for the Company's nonqualified pension plan of $33.2 million and $34.5 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company's nonqualified pension plan and other postretirement benefit plans are not funded.

The amounts included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, were as follows:

	Pension Benefits				Other Postretirement Benefits
(in millions)	2017		2016		2017		2016
Accounts and notes receivable	$	3.5	$	—	$	—	$	—

Ending balance	302.1			397.1			1.0			1.0
Total	$	302.1		$	397.1		$	(8.5	)	$	(9.2	)

The estimated pretax net actuarial loss in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2017, expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost in 2018 for the Company's pension plans, is $9.9 million. The estimated pretax prior service credit and net actuarial loss in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2017, expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost in 2018 for the Company's other postretirement benefit plans, are $0.7 million and $0.0 million, respectively.

Prior service costs and credits associated with other postretirement benefits are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the average future working lifetime to full eligibility for active hourly plan participants and over the average remaining life expectancy for those plans' participants who are fully eligible for benefits. Actuarial gains and losses in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized over the remaining service period of active plan participants and over the average remaining life expectancy of inactive plan participants.

Other Postretirement Benefits. Once participants eligible for other postretirement benefits turn 65 years old, the health care benefits become a flat dollar amount based on age and years of service. The assumed health care cost trend rate for other postretirement benefits for pre-age 65 benefits as of December 31 was as follows:

	Pre-age 65 Benefits
	2017		2016
Health care cost trend rate for next year	5.6	%	5.7	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)	4.5	%	4.5	%
Year rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2037		2037

A one percent change in the assumed health care trend rate at December 31, 2017 would not have a material impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.

The Company monitors the cost of health care and life insurance benefit plans and reserves the right to make additional changes or terminate these benefits in the future.

Assumptions. Weighted average assumptions used to determine pension and other postretirement benefit obligations at December 31 were as follows:

	Pension Benefits				Other Postretirement Benefits
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Discount rate	3.63	%	4.00	%	3.51	%	3.93	%

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net pension and other postretirement benefit costs for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

	2017	2016	2015
Discount rate for pension benefits (A) (B)	3.40%	3.58%	3.95%
Discount rate for other postretirement benefits (A) (B)	3.17%	3.30%	3.75%
Long-term rate of return on plan assets (C)	4.75%	5.25%	6.00%

(A) The Company utilizes a yield curve analysis to calculate the discount rates used to determine pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. The yield curve analysis matches the cash flows of the Company's benefit obligations. The yield curve consisted of spot interest rates at half year increments for each of the next 30 years and was developed based on pricing and yield information for high quality corporate bonds rated Aa by either Moody's or Standard & Poor's, private placement bonds that are traded in reliance with Rule 144A and are at least two years from date of issuance, bonds with make-whole provisions and bonds issued by foreign corporations that are denominated in U.S. dollars, excluding callable bonds and bonds less than a minimum size and other filtering criteria. Additionally, the Company's yield curve methodology includes bonds having a yield that is greater than the regression mean yield curve as the Company believes this methodology represents an appropriate estimate of the rates at which the Company could effectively settle its pension obligations.

(B) Pension expense in 2017 and 2016 includes the impact of a change in methodology used to calculate the interest cost component of pension expense. In 2015 and prior years, the Company used a single-weighted average discount rate to calculate pension and postretirement interest costs. Beginning in 2016, the Company is utilizing a "spot rate approach" in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs to provide a more accurate measurement of interest costs. The spot rate approach applies separate discount rates for each projected benefit payment in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs. This calculation change is considered to be a change in accounting estimate and is being applied prospectively starting in 2016.

(C) The Company evaluates its assumption regarding the estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets based on historical experience, future expectations of investment returns, asset allocations, investment strategies and views of investment professionals.

Master Trust Investments. Assets of the Company's Master Pension Trust (Trust) are invested solely in the interest of the plan participants for the purpose of providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries. Investment decisions within the Trust are made after giving appropriate consideration to the prevailing facts and circumstances that a prudent person acting in a like capacity would use in a similar situation, and follow the guidelines and objectives established within the investment policy statement for the Trust. In general, the Trust's investment strategy is to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets that will generate returns equal to or in excess of the change in liabilities resulting from interest costs and discount rate fluctuations. The excess returns generated from this strategy will contribute to improving the funded position of the plan. In order for returns to achieve this objective, the Trust will invest in fixed income investments and equities. These asset classes have historically been reasonably correlated to changes in plan liabilities resulting from changes in the discount rate. All investments are continually monitored and reviewed, with a focus on asset allocation, investment vehicles and performance of the individual investment managers, as well as overall Trust performance. Over time, the Company has shifted a greater percentage of the Trust's assets into long-term fixed-income securities, with an objective of achieving an improved matching of asset returns with changes in liabilities. The Company will consider future changes in asset allocation based on a number of factors including improvements in the plans' funded position, performance of equity investments and changes in the discount rate used to measure plan liabilities.

The Trust asset allocation at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and target allocation for 2018 are as follows:

	2017	2016	Target Allocation for 2018
Equity securities:
United States	4%	19%	4%
International	1%	3%	1%
Fixed-income securities	89%	75%	95%
Short-term investments	6%	3%	—%
Total	100%	100%	100%

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value. See Note 7 –Fair Value Measurements for further description of the procedures the Company performs with respect to its Level 2 measurements:

Equity securities: The indexed equity funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) provided by the investment managers. The NAV is based on the quoted market value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding. The indexed equity funds are invested in portfolios of equity securities with the goal of matching returns to specific indices. Investments in United States equity securities are invested in an index fund that tracks the Russell 3000 index, which is an all cap market index. International equities are invested in an index fund that tracks the MSCI EAFE index, which is an index that tracks international equity markets of developed countries worldwide. Withdrawal from the United States equity fund is permitted with a one-day notice prior to the trade date with subsequent settlement three days after the trade date. Withdrawal from the international equity fund is permitted daily with a two-day notice prior to the trade date with subsequent settlement three days after the trade date.

Corporate debt securities: Corporate debt securities are valued based on prices provided by third-party pricing sources, which are based on estimated prices at which a dealer would pay for or sell a security.

Government debt securities: U.S. Treasury bonds are valued using quoted market prices in active markets. Other agency securities are valued based on prices provided by third-party pricing sources, which are based on estimated prices at which a dealer would pay for or sell a security.

Short-term investments, commingled funds: Short-term investments and commingled funds are valued at the NAV provided by the investment managers. The NAV is based on the quoted market value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, divided by the number of units outstanding. Investments in fixed income commingled funds include long-duration corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and other short-term, fixed-income securities with the goal of preserving capital and maximizing total return consistent with prudent investment management.

Other investments: Exchange-traded derivative instruments are valued using market indices. The fair value of derivatives that are not traded on an exchange are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date.

There were no pension plan assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Expected Cash Flows. The expected cash flows for the Company's pension and other postretirement benefit plans follow:

(in millions)	Pension Benefits		Other Postretirement Benefits
Company contributions expected to be made in 2018 (A)	$	73.8	$	3.7
Expected benefit payments:
2018	44.4		3.7
2019	45.0		3.6
2020	45.3		3.4
2021	45.1		3.1
2022	45.1		2.9
2023-2027	221.6		12.6

(A) The Company anticipates making discretionary contributions of approximately $70.0 million to fund the qualified pension plans and approximately $3.8 million to cover benefit payments in the unfunded, nonqualified pension plan in 2018. Company contributions are subject to change based on market conditions or Company discretion.

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock Plans and Management Compensation

Stock Plans and Management 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, with shares 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 December 31, 2017, 5.4 million shares remained available for grant.

Share information includes all outstanding awards for both continuing and discontinued operations.

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. Non-vested stock units and awards have vesting periods of three years. Non-vested stock units and awards are eligible for dividends, which are reinvested, and are non-voting. All non-vested units and awards have restrictions on the sale or transfer of such awards during the vesting period.

Generally, grants of non-vested stock units and awards are forfeited if employment is terminated prior to vesting. Non-vested stock units and awards vest pro rata over one year if (i) the grantee has attained the age of 62, or (ii) the grantee's age plus total years of service equals 70 or more.

The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service 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 years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company charged $11.1 million, $10.1 million and $12.9 million, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock units and awards. The related income tax benefit recognized in 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $4.2 million, $3.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The fair value of shares vested during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $12.1 million, $13.8 million and $20.4 million respectively.

The weighted average price per Non-vested stock award at grant date was $60.30, $40.01 and $53.77 for awards granted in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Non-vested stock award activity for the year ended December 31, 2017 was as follows:

(in thousands, except grant date fair value)	Non-vested Stock Award Activity		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested awards, unvested at January 1	379		$	43.35
Awarded	240		60.30
Forfeited	(25	)	50.19
Vested	(218	)	46.48
Non-vested awards, unvested at December 31	376		$	51.69

As of December 31, 2017, there was $7.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock awards. The Company expects this expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

Stock Options and SARs

Through 2004, the Company issued stock options, and between 2005 and 2012, the Company issued stock-settled SARs. Generally, stock options and SARs are exercisable over a period of 10 years, or as otherwise determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and subject to vesting periods of generally 4 years. However, with respect to stock options and SARs, all grants vest immediately: (i) in the event of a change in control; (ii) upon death or disability of the grantee; or (iii) with respect to awards granted prior to 2008, upon the sale or divestiture of the business unit to which the grantee is assigned.

In addition, grantees continue to vest in accordance with the vesting schedule even upon termination if (i) the grantee has attained the age of 62, or (ii) the grantee's age plus total years of service equals 70 or more. An additional provision applies that prorates the grant in the event of termination prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided the participant had met the appropriate retirement age definition of rule of 70 or age 62.

SARs and stock option activity for all plans for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, was as follows:

	2017							2016						2015

Stock option and SARs expense was immaterial for all periods presented.

Performance Awards

In February 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 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 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 26,300, 37,430 and 22,990 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding a TSR modifier.

The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier at the grant date in 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $64.82, $38.54 and $56.17, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:

	2017		2016		2015

The fair value of certain officers' and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI and OM performance factors was $58.77, $37.76 and $52.39, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, less the present value of dividend payments over the vesting period.

The Company recorded compensation expense related to performance awards of $6.7 million, $6.0 million and $7.9 million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized in 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $2.6 million, $2.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively. The fair value of awards vested during 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $5.5 million, $9.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

Performance award activity for the year ended December 31, 2017 was as follows:

(in thousands, except grant date fair value)	Performance Awards		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Performance awards, unvested at January 1	91		$	43.91
Awarded	114		63.43
Forfeited	(4	)	47.10
Vested and earned	(99	)	59.34
Performance awards, unvested at December 31	102		$	50.69

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $2.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to performance awards. The Company expects this expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

Excess Tax Benefits/Shortfalls

For tax purposes, share-based compensation expense is deductible in the year of exercise or release based on the intrinsic value of the award on the date of exercise or release. For financial reporting purposes, share-based compensation expense is based upon grant-date fair value, which is amortized over the vesting period. Excess or "windfall" tax benefits represent the excess tax deduction received by the Company resulting from the difference between the share-based compensation expense deductible for tax purposes and the share-based compensation expense recognized for financial reporting purposes. Conversely, the Company may recognize a tax "shortfall" in circumstances when share-based expense recognized for reporting purposes exceeds the expense deductible for tax purposes. Windfall tax benefits and shortfalls are recorded directly to Income tax provision on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. Windfall tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 were $8.0 million, $13.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

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 units with a 20 percent premium.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2017

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation. Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) has prepared its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. As stated in Note 2 –Discontinued Operations, Brunswick's results as discussed in the financial statements reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation. Brunswick's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These estimates affect:

•The reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements;

• The disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and

•The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Estimates in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:

•Allowances for doubtful accounts;

•Inventory valuation reserves;

•Reserves for dealer allowances;

•Reserves related to repurchase and recourse obligations;

•Warranty related reserves;

•Losses on litigation and other contingencies;

•Environmental reserves;

•Insurance reserves;

•Valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets;

•Impairments of long-lived assets;

•Reserves related to restructuring, exit and integration activities;

•Postretirement benefit liabilities;

•Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; and

•Income tax reserves.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. These investments include, but are not limited to, investments in money market funds, bank deposits, federal government and agency debt securities and commercial paper.

Investments in Marketable Securities

Investments in Marketable Securities. The Company classifies investments in debt securities that are not considered to be cash equivalents as Short-term investments in marketable securities as discussed in Note 9 –Investments. Short-term investments in marketable securities have a stated maturity of twelve months or less from the balance sheet date. These securities are considered as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses would be recorded net of tax as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss in Unrealized investment losses within Shareholders' equity. Declines in market value from the original cost deemed to be "other-than-temporary" are charged to Other income, net, in the period in which the loss occurs. The Company considers both the duration for which a decline in value has occurred and the extent of the decline in its determination of whether a decline in value has been “other than temporary.” Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the specific identification method and are included in Other income, net, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash. The Company considers the cash deposited in a trust that is pledged as collateral against certain workers' compensation-related obligations to be restricted cash.

Accounts and Notes Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts and Notes Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company carries its accounts and notes receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a regular basis, the Company records an allowance for uncollectible receivables based upon known bad debt risks and past loss history, customer payment practices and economic conditions. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of net receivables. A change to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required if a future event or other change in circumstances results in a change in the estimate of the ultimate collectability of a specific account.

The Company treats the sale of receivables in which the Company retains an interest as a secured obligation. Accordingly, the short-term portion of the receivables sold that are subject to recourse is recorded in Accounts and notes receivable and Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Inventories

Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value equal to the estimated selling price less the estimated costs to transact. Approximately 54 percent and 51 percent of the Company's inventories were determined by the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Remaining inventories valued at the last-in, first-out method (LIFO) were $124.9 million and $123.0 million lower than the FIFO cost of inventories at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Inventory cost includes material, labor and manufacturing overhead. There were no liquidations of LIFO inventory layers in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

Property

Property. Property, including major improvements and product tooling costs, is recorded at cost. Product tooling costs principally comprise the cost to acquire and construct various long-lived molds, dies and other tooling the Company uses in its manufacturing processes. Design and prototype development costs associated with product tooling are expensed as incurred. Maintenance and repair costs are also expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated service lives of the related assets, principally using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over a useful life of five to forty years. Equipment is depreciated over a useful life of two to twenty years. Product tooling costs are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the tooling or the anticipated life of the applicable product, for a period up to eight years. The Company capitalizes interest on qualifying assets during the construction period and capitalized $4.6 million and $2.6 million in 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company presents capital expenditures on a cash basis within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. There were $31.0 million and $35.8 million of unpaid capital expenditures within Accounts payable as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company includes gains and losses recognized on the sale and disposal of property in either Selling, general and administrative expenses or Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges as appropriate.

Software Development Costs

Software Development Costs. The Company expenses all software development and implementation costs incurred until the Company has determined that the software will result in probable future economic benefit and management has committed to funding the project. Once this is determined, external direct costs of material and services, payroll-related costs of employees working on the project and related interest costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. These capitalized costs are amortized over three to seven years. All other related costs, including training costs and costs to re-engineer business processes, are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill and Other Intangibles. Goodwill and other intangible assets primarily result from business acquisitions. The Company records the excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired as goodwill. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value.

For 2017, the impairment test for goodwill was a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. In this second step, the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill.  

The Company calculates the fair value of its reporting units considering both the income approach and the guideline public company method.  The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing a Gordon Growth model.  Internally forecasted future cash flows, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate) developed for each reporting unit.  The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, and considers whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific reporting unit’s forecasted performance.  Fair value under the guideline public company method is determined for each unit by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the unit’s financial results.  The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in a reporting unit’s forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and operating margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts, and selecting representative market multiples.

For 2016 and 2015, the Company determined through qualitative assessment that the fair values of its reporting units were “more likely than not” greater than their carrying values. As a result, the Company was not required to perform the two-step impairment test. The Company did not record any goodwill impairments in 2017, 2016 or 2015.

The Company's primary intangible assets are customer relationships, trade names and patents and proprietary technology acquired in business combinations. The costs of amortizable intangible assets are recognized over their expected useful lives, typically between three and sixteen years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate long-lived assets described below. Intangible assets not subject to amortization, including trade names, are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The fair value of trade names is measured using a relief-from-royalty approach, which assumes the value of the trade name is the discounted cash flows of the amount that would be paid to third parties had the Company not owned the trade name and instead licensed the trade name from another company. Higher royalty rates are assigned to premium brands within the marketplace based on name recognition and profitability, while other brands receive lower royalty rates. The basis for future sales projections is internal revenue forecasts by brand, which the Company believes represent reasonable market participant assumptions, to which the selected royalty rate is applied. The resulting cash flows are discounted using an applicable Discount Rate which includes any potential risk premium to reflect the inherent risk of holding a standalone intangible asset.

The Company recorded a $13.9 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment during 2017 related to the Cybex trade name. Refer to Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities for further details. The Company did not record impairments for indefinite-lived intangible assets in 2016 and 2015.

Equity Investments

Equity Investments. For investments in which the Company owns or controls from 20 percent to 50 percent of the voting shares, the Company uses the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of net earnings or losses from equity method investments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for other investments, over which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the cost method of accounting. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets. The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. Once an impairment indicator is identified, the Company tests for recoverability of the related asset group using an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the asset group's remaining life. If an asset group's carrying value is not recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset group over the long-lived asset group's fair value. Fair value is determined using observable inputs, including the use of appraisals from independent third parties, when available, and, when observable inputs are not available, based on the Company's assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company uses discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs are unavailable. The Company tested its long-lived asset balances for impairment as indicators arose during 2017, 2016 and 2015, resulting in impairment charges of $0.1 million, $2.4 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which are recognized either in Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges or Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other Long-Term Assets

Other Long-Term Assets. Other long-term assets consists mainly of long-term receivables originated by the Company and assigned to third parties, long-term pension assets and other long-term receivables and deposits. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, amounts assigned to third parties totaled $30.2 million and $29.0 million, respectively. The assignment of these instruments does not meet sale criteria as a result of the Company's contingent obligation to repurchase the receivables in the event of customer non-payment and therefore is treated as a secured obligation. Accordingly, these amounts were recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under Other long-term assets and Long-term liabilities – Other.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition. Brunswick's revenue is derived primarily from the sale of boats, marine engines, marine parts and accessories, fitness equipment and active recreation products. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the sale, primarily upon shipment to customers, once the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Brunswick offers discounts and sales incentives that include retail promotions and rebates that are recorded as reductions of revenues in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated liability and reduction in revenue for sales incentives is recorded at the later of when the program has been communicated to the customer or at the time of sale. Revenues from freight are included as a part of Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, whereas shipping, freight and handling costs are included in Cost of sales.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs. The Company records advertising and promotion costs in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period when the advertising first takes place.

Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency. The functional currency for the majority of Brunswick's operations is the U.S. dollar. All assets and liabilities of operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at period end current rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. Revenues and expenses of operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded in either Cost of sales or Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Trademark Licensing Agreement

Trademark Licensing Agreement. On September 18, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its retail bowling business to AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. (AMF) and entered into a trademark licensing agreement, allowing AMF to use the Company's retail trademarks and trade names over a five year period from the date of sale. As a result, the Company recorded deferred income of $20.7 million related to this agreement, which will be recognized as Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over five years.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation. The Company records amounts for all share-based compensation, including grants of stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock awards and performance-based share awards over the vesting period in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based upon their fair values at the date of the grant. Share-based compensation costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Research and Development

Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Derivatives

Derivatives. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risk associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. These instruments are used in accordance with guidelines established by the Company's management and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  The following recent accounting pronouncements have been adopted during 2017 or will be adopted in future periods.

Hedge Accounting: In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 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.

Presentation of Benefit Costs: In March 2017, the FASB amended the 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 amendments require entities to present the current-service-cost component with other current compensation costs in the income statement and present the other components outside of income from operations. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, 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.

Statements of Cash Flows Classifications: In August 2016, the FASB 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 is currently evaluating the impact it will have on its Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Share-Based Compensation:In March 2016, the FASB amended the ASC to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2017, and recognized $7.9 million of net excess tax benefits related to share-based payments in the income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2017. These net excess tax benefits were historically recorded in additional paid-in capital when recognized. Additionally, the Company adopted the amendment retrospectively for presentation of net excess tax benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, resulting in an increase of $13.4 million and $7.0 million in both Net cash provided by operating activities and Net cash used for financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company also elected to recognize forfeitures of share-based awards as they occur. The remaining amendments, including those related to statutory withholding requirements, did not have a material impact.

Recognition of Leases: In February 2016, the FASB 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 continue to 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 consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued a final standard on revenue recognition which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This standard will supersede current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, entities are required to identify the contract with a customer; identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and recognize the appropriate amount of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies each performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB amended the ASC to delay the effective date to fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2018, from the original effective date of January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted no earlier than January 1, 2017. Entities have the option of using either retrospective transition or a modified retrospective approach in applying the new standard.

The Company will use the modified retrospective approach in applying the new standard. There are no significant implementation matters that have yet to be addressed. The Company determined that the standard does not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The cumulative net adjustment to the 2018 beginning Retained earnings balance is expected to be less than $35 million. The most meaningful changes will be in the Fitness and Boat segments. In the Boat segment, certain customers are offered retail promotions that are currently recorded at the later of when the program has been communicated to the customer or at the time of sale. Under the new standard, these promotions will now be estimated and recognized at the time of sale, primarily upon shipment to customers. In the Fitness segment, certain customer contracts include product rebates recorded in cost of sales at the time of sale. Under the new standard, the Company will no longer record the rebate at the time of sale; however, a portion of revenue will be deferred and not recognized until the rebate is redeemed. As a result, there are changes in the timing of recording certain promotions and rebates, including but not limited to those described above, however, there are no changes in the total amount of cumulative revenue recognized for each transaction.

Assumed Health Care Cost Trend Rates

The assumed health care cost trend rate for other postretirement benefits for pre-age 65 benefits as of December 31 was as follows:

	Pre-age 65 Benefits
	2017		2016
Health care cost trend rate for next year	5.6	%	5.7	%
Rate to which the cost trend rate is assumed to decline (the ultimate trend rate)	4.5	%	4.5	%
Year rate reaches the ultimate trend rate	2037		2037

Effect of One-Percentage-Point Change in Assumed Health Care Cost Trend Rates

A one percent change in the assumed health care trend rate at December 31, 2017 would not have a material impact on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation.

Weighted-Average Assumptions Used to Determine Benefit Obligations and Net Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Costs

Weighted average assumptions used to determine pension and other postretirement benefit obligations at December 31 were as follows:

	Pension Benefits				Other Postretirement Benefits
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Discount rate	3.63	%	4.00	%	3.51	%	3.93	%

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net pension and other postretirement benefit costs for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

	2017	2016	2015
Discount rate for pension benefits (A) (B)	3.40%	3.58%	3.95%
Discount rate for other postretirement benefits (A) (B)	3.17%	3.30%	3.75%
Long-term rate of return on plan assets (C)	4.75%	5.25%	6.00%

(A) The Company utilizes a yield curve analysis to calculate the discount rates used to determine pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. The yield curve analysis matches the cash flows of the Company's benefit obligations. The yield curve consisted of spot interest rates at half year increments for each of the next 30 years and was developed based on pricing and yield information for high quality corporate bonds rated Aa by either Moody's or Standard & Poor's, private placement bonds that are traded in reliance with Rule 144A and are at least two years from date of issuance, bonds with make-whole provisions and bonds issued by foreign corporations that are denominated in U.S. dollars, excluding callable bonds and bonds less than a minimum size and other filtering criteria. Additionally, the Company's yield curve methodology includes bonds having a yield that is greater than the regression mean yield curve as the Company believes this methodology represents an appropriate estimate of the rates at which the Company could effectively settle its pension obligations.

(B) Pension expense in 2017 and 2016 includes the impact of a change in methodology used to calculate the interest cost component of pension expense. In 2015 and prior years, the Company used a single-weighted average discount rate to calculate pension and postretirement interest costs. Beginning in 2016, the Company is utilizing a "spot rate approach" in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs to provide a more accurate measurement of interest costs. The spot rate approach applies separate discount rates for each projected benefit payment in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs. This calculation change is considered to be a change in accounting estimate and is being applied prospectively starting in 2016.

Schedule of Allocation of Plan Assets

The Trust asset allocation at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and target allocation for 2018 are as follows:

[1] (A) The Company utilizes a yield curve analysis to calculate the discount rates used to determine pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. The yield curve analysis matches the cash flows of the Company's benefit obligations. The yield curve consisted of spot interest rates at half year increments for each of the next 30 years and was developed based on pricing and yield information for high quality corporate bonds rated Aa by either Moody's or Standard & Poor's, private placement bonds that are traded in reliance with Rule 144A and are at least two years from date of issuance, bonds with make-whole provisions and bonds issued by foreign corporations that are denominated in U.S. dollars, excluding callable bonds and bonds less than a minimum size and other filtering criteria. Additionally, the Company's yield curve methodology includes bonds having a yield that is greater than the regression mean yield curve as the Company believes this methodology represents an appropriate estimate of the rates at which the Company could effectively settle its pension obligations.

[2] (C) The Company evaluates its assumption regarding the estimated long-term rate of return on plan assets based on historical experience, future expectations of investment returns, asset allocations, investment strategies and views of investment professionals.

[3] (B) Pension expense in 2017 and 2016 includes the impact of a change in methodology used to calculate the interest cost component of pension expense. In 2015 and prior years, the Company used a single-weighted average discount rate to calculate pension and postretirement interest costs. Beginning in 2016, the Company is utilizing a "spot rate approach" in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs to provide a more accurate measurement of interest costs. The spot rate approach applies separate discount rates for each projected benefit payment in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs. This calculation change is considered to be a change in accounting estimate and is being applied prospectively starting in 2016.
