Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 28, 2022, Brunswick Corporation (“Brunswick”) announced its financial results for the first quarter 2022. The news release Brunswick issued announcing its first quarter 2022 earnings is incorporated herein by reference and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In the news release, Brunswick uses non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets, or statements of cash flows of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Operating and statistical measures and certain ratios and other statistical measures are not non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Brunswick has used certain of the financial measures that are included in the news release for several years, both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Brunswick’s management believes that these measures (including those that are non-GAAP financial measures) and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tools that Brunswick uses and to better evaluate Brunswick’s ongoing business performance.

The measure diluted earnings per common share (EPS), as adjusted, is believed to be useful to investors because it represents a measure of Brunswick’s earnings, without the impact of certain charges that do not reflect the Company's ongoing business performance. Brunswick defines this measure as diluted earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations, excluding the earnings per share impact of restructuring, exit, and impairment charges; special tax items; acquisition, integration, and IT-related costs; purchase accounting amortization; Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations; gain on sale of assets; reclassification of held-for-sale items; or other applicable charges. Brunswick’s management also believes that the measure adjusted operating earnings is useful to investors because it provides a necessary and important perspective on Brunswick's operating performance and improves comparability of performance against prior periods. Brunswick defines adjusted operating earnings as operating earnings (loss), excluding the earnings impact of restructuring, exit, and impairment charges; acquisition, integration, and IT-related costs; purchase accounting amortization; Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations; gain on sale of assets; reclassification of held-for-sale items; or other applicable charges. Brunswick’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure free cash flow is useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives. Brunswick defines free cash flow as cash flow from operating and investing activities (excluding cash provided by or used for acquisitions, investments, purchases or sales/maturities of marketable securities, and other investing activities) and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. 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 restructuring, exit, and impairment charges, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.

To reflect the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on net sales, Brunswick may use constant currency reporting. To present this information, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated to U.S. dollars using prior year exchange rates for the comparative period, using the average exchange rates in effect during that period. The percentage change in net sales expressed on a constant currency basis may better reflect changes in the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

The information in this report and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Brunswick Reports First Quarter Results

Continued Strong Demand and Operating Performance Drive Outstanding Results

First Quarter GAAP Diluted EPS of $2.25 and As Adjusted Diluted EPS of $2.53

Increasing 2022 Guidance: Adjusted Diluted EPS Range of $9.80 - $10.30

METTAWA, Ill., April 28, 2022 -- Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) today reported results for the first quarter of 2022:

"Our businesses had a strong start to 2022, as continued focus on operational efficiency and strengthening our supply chain enabled increased production levels, and our investments in recurring-revenue businesses, technology, innovation, and capacity continue to position Brunswick for success and strong performance in any economic environment," said Brunswick Chief Executive

Officer David Foulkes. "The pace of retail sales continues to be dominated by the twin supply-side challenges of exceptionally low field inventory levels and supply chain disruption. Global boat field inventory levels were 6 percent lower at the end of the first quarter 2022 than at the same time in 2021 and down 12 percent in the U.S., with inventory levels in some areas artificially inflated by a slower start to spring in Northern U.S. and Canada which is resulting in delayed deliveries and registrations for many retail-sold boats. Wholesale sales and production growth continue to be constrained most notably by the supply impact of the recent China lockdowns and associated freight and transportation delays.

Our propulsion business had strong results versus a historic first quarter of 2021, with top-line growth enabled by increased production. Mercury Marine continues to expand outboard propulsion retail market share, gaining 310 basis points in the last twenty-four months, including over 1,000 basis points of share gains in engines over 300 horsepower. Production capacity for high horsepower outboard engines will significantly increase with the previously announced capacity expansion underway at the Fond du Lac, Wisconsin facility. The expansion remains on schedule for completion in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Our parts and accessories businesses continued delivering robust performance. Collectively, the businesses delivered record first quarter revenue as both aftermarket and OEM channels prepare for the prime boating season. Our Advanced Systems Group, with the addition of Navico, also delivered exceptional top-line growth in the quarter, with healthy margins despite continued supply chain tightness and cost headwinds.

Our boat business posted outstanding top-line growth in the quarter, with operating margins slightly below double-digits, increasing sequentially for the second consecutive quarter. Our Aluminum Fishing category had outsized revenue growth and robust operating margins, while our Recreational Fiberglass brands also posted a strong quarter. We are meeting our production plans for the year despite headwinds, with global pipeline inventory levels remaining at a very low level of 19 weeks, equivalent to about 50 percent fewer units than at the same time in 2019. Finally, Freedom Boat Club has had an incredibly busy start to the year with substantial growth in the U.S. and Europe, and now has more than 350 locations, including the first location in the Nordics, and over 48,000 memberships network-wide, while generating exceptionally strong synergy sales across our marine portfolio.

On capital strategy, we took advantage of the overall stock-market and sector pullback to complete $80 million of share repurchases in the quarter. We plan to maintain a similar pace in the second quarter, and are significantly increasing our 2022 annual share repurchase target to $300 million. We also completed a $750 million debt offering at favorable interest rates and expanded our revolving credit facility.

Despite current headwinds, including the inflationary environment, signs indicate that boating participation remains strong, our propulsion business continues to take market share, the percentage of our boat production that is already retail-sold continues to be at an all-time high, early 2022 boat show performance is encouraging, there is no evidence of wholesale or retail cancellations, available U.S. field inventory of our larger boats is currently at or near zero, and there continues to be very little advertising or promotional activity. As a result, we are increasing our 2022 full year adjusted diluted EPS guidance," Foulkes concluded.

2022 First Quarter Results

For the first quarter of 2022, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,695.7 million, up from $1,433.2 million in the first quarter of 2021. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $2.25 on a GAAP basis and $2.53 on an as adjusted basis. Sales in each segment benefited from higher prices implemented since the first quarter of 2021 and increased sales volumes, partially offset by supply chain inefficiencies and unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, while each segment's operating earnings continue to be impacted by increasing inflationary pressures and spending on growth-related initiatives. In addition, versus the first quarter of 2021:

Propulsion segment reported a 7 percent increase in sales due to continued strong global demand for all product categories. Operating earnings grew slightly as benefits from increased sales were offset by investments in capacity and product development.

Parts and Accessories segment reported a 34 percent increase in sales and a robust increase in operating earnings driven primarily by acquisitions completed in 2021. P&A sales increased 2 percent on an organic basis despite sales and earnings being impacted by supply chain constraints leading to increased sales backlogs, together with a slower start to the boating season in northern markets due to unfavorable weather conditions.

Boat segment reported an 18 percent increase in sales due to increased sales volumes to dealers. Freedom Boat Club, which is part of Business Acceleration, contributed approximately 3 percent of sales to the segment in the quarter. Segment operating earnings benefited from increased sales volumes, but were negatively impacted by inefficiencies resulting from supply chain disruptions, and the production ramp-up of the new Boston Whaler Flagler facility which will be substantially complete by the end of the third quarter.

Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash and marketable securities totaled $699.1 million at the end of the first quarter, up $331.6 million from year-end 2021 levels. This change includes the issuance of $750 million of long-term debt in the first quarter for general corporate purposes using 10-year and 30-year notes, bringing the Company's leverage to 1.7x on a net basis.

Net cash used in operating activities during the first three months of the year of $140.9 million includes the seasonal impact of increasing working capital, partially offset by net earnings net of non-cash items.

Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash provided of $466.9 million during the quarter including the issuance of long-term debt, net of $100.9 million of capital expenditures, $79.8 million of share repurchases, $57.1 million of long-term debt repayments, and $28.0 million of dividend payments.

2022 Outlook

"Our outstanding performance in a turbulent macroeconomic and geopolitical environment is further evidence of our ability to continue to successfully execute our marine strategy and drive shareholder value," said Foulkes. "Although we continue navigating elevated supply chain disruptions, material and freight inflation, and tight labor conditions in many of our manufacturing locations, we believe the strategic portfolio actions, cost control efforts, and flexible capital strategy actions executed in the last three years, together with our focused investment in new products, ACES technology, and capacity, position us well to deliver strong results in 2022 and progress us towards our 2025 targets.

As a result of the historically low dealer inventory levels and continued strong boating participation, production levels remain elevated across all our businesses to satisfy retail demand and to rebuild product pipelines. These factors continue to provide enhanced clarity on our ability to drive growth in future periods, resulting in the following updated guidance for full-year 2022. We anticipate:

1.Net sales between $6.8 billion and $7.1 billion;

2.Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $9.80 - $10.30; and

3.Second quarter 2022 revenue growth of mid-to-high teens percent over the second quarter of 2021, with mid-single-digit percent EPS growth.

Finally, while the conflict in Ukraine and the cessation of business with Russia, Belarus, Crimea and the disputed provinces have not had a significant, direct, financial impact on our business, we want to offer heartfelt appreciation to the many members of our global employee population who have contributed to the humanitarian efforts within Ukraine and in support of Ukrainian refugees.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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

In order to better align Brunswick's reported results with the internal metrics used by Brunswick's management to evaluate business performance as well as to provide better comparisons to prior periods and peer data, non-GAAP measures used in this release exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to acquisitions, among other adjustments.

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 restructuring, exit, and impairment costs, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.
