Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. Therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, including reclassifying the Deferred income tax liability in the prior period to Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brunswick’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the 2016 Form 10-K). These results include, in management's opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly Brunswick's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Due to the seasonality of Brunswick’s businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.

The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The first three quarters of fiscal year 2017 ended on April 1, 2017, July 1, 2017 and September 30, 2017, and the first three quarters of fiscal year 2016 ended on April 2, 2016, July 2, 2016 and October 1, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The following are recent accounting pronouncements that 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Statement 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 Condensed 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 $7.7 million of net excess tax benefits related to share-based payments in the income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, resulting in an increase of $11.1 million in Net cash provided by operating activities and Net cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended October 1, 2016. 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 recognize expenses similar to current lease

accounting. The amendment is to be applied using a modified retrospective method with certain practical expedients, and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 plans to use the modified retrospective approach in applying the new standard. The Company’s implementation process is progressing as planned and there are no significant implementation matters that have yet to be addressed. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements, however, the most meaningful changes will be in the Boat and Fitness 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, the Company expects a change in the timing of recording certain promotions and rebates, including but not limited to those described above, however, it does not expect a change in the total amount of cumulative revenue recognized for each transaction.

Note 2 – Restructuring, Exit and Integration Activities

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 as a result of declining demand.

In the second and third quarters of 2017, the Company implemented headcount reductions in the Fitness and Boat segments aimed at improving general operating efficiencies. As a result of these actions, the Company recorded restructuring charges within these segments during 2017.

In the first quarter of 2017, the Company announced that it will close 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. The facility manufactures 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.

The Company acquired Cybex International, Inc. (Cybex) and Indoor Cycling Group GmbH (ICG) in the first and third quarters of 2016, respectively, and initiated certain integration activities within the Fitness segment related to these acquisitions. As a result, the Company recorded integration charges in 2017 and 2016 related to Cybex and recorded integration charges in 2016 related to ICG.

The following table is a summary of the expense associated with the restructuring, exit and integration activities for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, as discussed above:

During 2017, the Company made cash payments of $12.5 million relating to all restructuring, exit and integration activities, including payments related to prior period activities. As of September 30, 2017, accruals remaining for restructuring, exit and integration activities totaled $10.4 million and are expected to be paid during 2017 and 2018.

Note 3 – Acquisitions

On September 1, 2017, the Company 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. Lankhorst Taselaar is managed as part of the Company's Marine Engine segment.

The net cash consideration the Company paid to acquire Lankhorst Taselaar was $15.5 million. The preliminary recording of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in $4.6 million of identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships and trade names for $3.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, along with $5.8 million for goodwill which is not deductible for tax purposes. The amount assigned to Lankhorst Taselaar's customer relationships will be amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 15 years. These amounts recorded are preliminary and are subject to change within the measurement period as the Company finalizes its fair value estimates.

Note 4 – 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.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and short-term debt approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. At September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and October 1, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $492.8 million, $498.5 million and $485.4 million, respectively, and was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs described in Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K. The carrying value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $441.8 million, $444.6 million and $447.9 million as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and October 1, 2016, respectively.

Note 6 – Share-Based Compensation

Under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock awards and performance awards to executives, other employees and non-employee directors from treasury shares and from authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock, 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 September 30, 2017, 5.4 million shares remained available for grant.

Non-vested stock awards

The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards to key employees as determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company granted a nominal number of stock awards during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and did not grant any stock awards during the three months ended October 1, 2016. The Company granted 0.2 million and 0.3 million of stock awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, respectively. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company charged $2.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively, and charged $2.9 million and $7.4 million during the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock awards.

As of September 30, 2017, there was $10.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

Performance awards

In February of both 2017 and 2016, the Company granted 0.1 million performance shares to certain senior executives. The 2017 and 2016 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 and 2016, the Company granted 26,300 and 37,430 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding the TSR modifier. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company charged $2.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively, and charged $1.4 million and $4.4 million for the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016, respectively, to compensation expense based on projections of probable attainment of the performance measures and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards.

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



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

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

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had $4.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years.

Director Awards

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

Note 7 – Earnings per Common Share

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

Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016 were calculated as follows:



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(in millions, except per share data)	September 30, 2017		October 1, 2016		September 30, 2017		October 1, 2016
Net earnings from continuing operations	$	79.0	$	85.3	$	263.3	$	256.6
Net earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax	—		0.1		—		1.7
Net earnings	$	79.0	$	85.4	$	263.3	$	258.3

Weighted average outstanding shares-basic	89.1		91.1		89.7		91.5
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents	0.7		0.8		0.8		0.9
Weighted average outstanding shares-diluted	89.8		91.9		90.5		92.4

Basic earnings per common share:
Continuing operations	$	0.89	$	0.94	$	2.94	$	2.80
Discontinued operations	—		0.00		—		0.02
Net earnings	$	0.89	$	0.94	$	2.94	$	2.82

Diluted earnings per common share:
Continuing operations	$	0.88	$	0.93	$	2.91	$	2.78
Discontinued operations	—		0.00		—		0.02
Net earnings	$	0.88	$	0.93	$	2.91	$	2.80

There were no anti-dilutive shares of SARs that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

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 US 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 will pursue an appeal.

There were no other material changes during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to the financial commitments or the legal and environmental commitments that were discussed in Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K.

Note 12 – Income Taxes

The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $30.0 million and $99.1 million, respectively, and included a net tax benefit of $0.8 million and $9.1 respectively, primarily associated with the net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation which was recognized as an income tax benefit in accordance with recent changes in accounting guidance as discussed in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies. The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016 of $32.8 million and $109.1 million, respectively, which included net tax benefits of $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, mainly associated with the reassessment of tax reserves and favorable valuation allowance adjustments. The effective tax rate from continuing operations, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 27.5 percent and 27.3 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016 was 27.8 percent and 29.8 percent, respectively.

No deferred income taxes have been provided as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 or October 1, 2016 on the applicable undistributed earnings of the non-U.S. subsidiaries where the indefinite reinvestment assertion has been applied. If at some future date these earnings cease to be indefinitely reinvested and are repatriated, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding and other taxes on such amounts. The Company continues to provide deferred taxes, as required, on the undistributed net earnings of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates that are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States.

As of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and October 1, 2016, the Company had $2.3 million, $3.5 million and $3.8 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2017 could decrease by approximately $0.7 million in the next 12 months due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in the applicable statute of limitations. Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the settlement of tax audits, it is

possible that there could be significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2017, but the amount cannot be estimated.

The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its field examination and has issued its Revenue Agents Report through the 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. The 2014 tax year is currently under examination and the Company has been notified by the IRS that it will also be examining the 2015 tax year. Primarily as a result of filing amended returns, which were generated by the closing of federal income tax audits, the Company is still open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2012 taxable year. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2013.

Note 13 – Postretirement Benefits

The Company has defined contribution plans, qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The Company's contributions to its defined contribution plans include matching and annual discretionary contributions which are based on various percentages of compensation, and in some instances are based on the amount of the employees' contributions to the plans. See Note 17 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K for further details regarding these plans.

Pension and other postretirement benefit costs included the following components for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016:

Employer Contributions and Benefit Payments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, the Company contributed $55.0 million and $70.0 million, respectively, to its qualified pension plans. Company contributions are subject to change based on funding regulations and Company discretion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, the Company contributed $3.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, to fund benefit payments to its nonqualified pension plan.

Note 14 – Debt

There was no significant activity in Long-term debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016. See Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K for details regarding the Company's debt.

In June 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Facility). The Credit Facility amends and restates 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 million of borrowing capacity and is in effect through June 2021. No borrowings were outstanding as of or during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and available borrowing capacity totaled $295.7 million, net of $4.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility. See Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K for details regarding the Company's Credit Facility.

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

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

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

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing because of factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in Brunswick’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the 2016 Form 10-K).

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

Overview and Outlook

General

Net sales increased 4 percent during the third quarter of 2017 when compared with the third quarter of 2016. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased 3 percent over the comparative period. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in outboard engines and solid growth in the marine parts and accessories businesses, partially offset by declines in sterndrive engines. Boat segment net sales increased slightly as strong growth in the aluminum outboard boat business was mostly offset by declines in large sterndrive/inboard boards. Additionally, production disruptions resulting from Hurricane Irma affected sales of products manufactured at the Company's Florida-based operations, particularly fiberglass outboard operations. Fitness segment net sales increased resulting from the Indoor Cycling Group GmbH (ICG) acquisition and reflected flat overall global market demand, with growth in sales to value-oriented clubs being offset by softness in sales to traditional clubs and other vertical markets. International net sales for the Company increased 8 percent in the third quarter of 2017 on a GAAP basis when compared with the third quarter of 2016. Excluding acquisitions, international sales increased 6 percent, driven by increases in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Canada.

Net sales during the first nine months of 2017 increased 7 percent on a GAAP basis and 6 percent excluding the impact of acquisitions when compared with the same prior year period. The increases reflect the same factors as the quarterly period above, except there was also strong sales growth in fiberglass outboard boats and Fitness segment international sales increased. International net sales increased 10 percent on a GAAP basis and increased 7 percent when excluding the impact of acquisitions. Increases were mainly driven by Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe and Canada.

Operating earnings in the third quarter of 2017 were $111.7 million with an operating margin of 9.8 percent, which included restructuring, exit and integration charges of $6.8 million. In the third quarter of 2016, the Company reported operating earnings of $122.5 million with an operating margin of 11.2 percent, which included restructuring, exit and integration charges of $2.4 million. The decrease in operating earnings reflected unfavorable changes in sales mix in the Boat and Fitness segments, higher restructuring, exit and integration charges, planned increases in growth investments and manufacturing inefficiencies in the Boat segment, including costs associated with the hurricane. These factors were partially offset by higher net sales and the favorable impact of foreign exchange.

Operating earnings in the first nine months of 2017 were $369.3 million with an operating margin of 10.1 percent, which included restructuring, exit and integration charges of $27.7 million. In the first nine months of 2016, the Company reported

Table of Contents

operating earnings of $380.4 million, which included restructuring, exit and integration charges of $8.8 million. The decline in operating earnings was due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, except restructuring, exit and integration charges had a much greater unfavorable impact. Additionally, unfavorable warranty adjustments and legal costs in the second quarter negatively impacted the fiberglass sterndrive/inboard boat business.

Despite unanticipated headwinds, the Company continues to expect that 2017 will be another year of strong earnings performance with excellent cash flow generation. The Company is targeting approximately 7 percent net sales growth when compared with 2016, with a slightly lower growth rate in the fourth quarter. The Company's plan reflects the collective marine businesses continuing to generate solid top-line growth over the remainder of the year. The Fitness segment is expected to report fourth quarter sales growth consistent with third quarter growth.

The Company projects gross margin to be down for the year as a percentage of sales, however not to the same degree as the year-to-date comparisons. Operating margins are anticipated to decrease modestly, with operating leverage in the mid-to-high single digit range. The Company projects operating expenses, including research and development expenses, to be higher in 2017 when compared with 2016 as the Company continues to increase investment spending to support growth including new products, productivity initiatives and information technology. Operating expenses are projected to be slightly lower on a percentage of sales basis in 2017 versus 2016.

The Company is planning for its effective tax rate in 2017 to be approximately 27.5 percent on a GAAP basis and 28.0 to 28.5 percent, as adjusted, to exclude the impact of pension settlement charges, restructuring, exit and integration charges and special tax items. Effective tax rates are based on existing tax law and the adoption of recent accounting guidance related to net excess tax benefits or deficiencies resulting from share-based compensation activity.

Matters Affecting Comparability

Certain events have occurred during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016 which the Company believes affect the comparability of the results of operations. The tables below summarize the impact of changes in currency exchange rates as well as the impact of recent acquisitions on the Company's net sales:

Changes in Foreign Currency Rates. Percentage changes in net sales expressed in constant currency are presented to reflect the impact that changes in currency exchange rates had on comparisons of net sales. To determine this information, 2017 net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from 2016 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, foreign exchange positively affected operating earnings comparisons by approximately $4 million in the third quarter of 2017 when compared with the third quarter of 2016. During the first nine months of 2017, operating earnings comparisons were negatively affected by foreign exchange by approximately $1 million when compared with the same prior year period. 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 changes in the value of the U.S. dollar.

Acquisitions. The Company completed acquisitions throughout 2017 and 2016 that affect the comparability of net sales. The Company acquired Lankhorst Taselaar B.V. (Lankhorst Taselaar) in the third quarter of 2017 and acquired Cybex International, Inc. (Cybex), Thunder Jet Boats, Inc. (Thunder Jet), ICG and Payne's Marine Group (Payne's) in the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2016, respectively. Refer to Note 3 – Acquisitions for further details on the 2017 acquisition and Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K for further details on 2016 acquisitions.

Restructuring, exit and integration charges. The Company recorded restructuring, exit and integration charges of $6.8 million and $27.7 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, compared with $2.4 million and $8.8 million of charges recorded in the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016, respectively. Refer to Note 2 – Restructuring, Exit and Integration Activities for further information. The Company anticipates it will incur restructuring, exit and integration charges of approximately $33 to $34 million for the full year.

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

Net sales increased during the third quarter of 2017 when compared with the third quarter of 2016. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in outboard engines and solid growth in marine parts and accessories businesses. Outboard engines benefited from a favorable retail environment, particularly for higher horsepower engines, and continued benefits from market share gains. The marine parts and accessories businesses benefited from recent acquisitions and new product launches, as well as the successful execution of the Company's international growth strategy. Net sales of sterndrive engines declined, reflecting unfavorable demand trends. Boat segment net sales increased slightly as strong growth in the aluminum outboard boat business was mostly offset by declines in large sterndrive/inboard boards. Additionally, production disruptions resulting from Hurricane Irma affected sales of products manufactured at the Company's Florida-based operations, particularly fiberglass outboard operations. Fitness segment net sales increased resulting from the ICG acquisition and reflected flat overall global market demand, with growth in sales to value-oriented clubs being offset by softness in sales to traditional clubs and other vertical markets. International net sales for the Company increased 8 percent in the third quarter of 2017 on a GAAP basis when compared with the third quarter of 2016. Excluding acquisitions, international sales increased 6 percent, driven by increases in Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Canada.

Table of Contents

Net sales during the first nine months of 2017 increased 7 percent on a GAAP basis and 6 percent excluding the impact of acquisitions when compared with the same prior year period. The increases reflect the same factors as the quarterly period above, except there was strong sales growth in fiberglass outboard boats and Fitness segment international sales increased. International net sales increased 10 percent on a GAAP basis and increased 7 percent when excluding the impact of acquisitions. Increases were mainly driven by Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Europe and Canada.

Gross margin percentage was down in the third quarter of 2017 when compared with the same prior year period. The decrease in gross margin percentage reflected unfavorable changes in sales mix in the Boat and Fitness segments, manufacturing inefficiencies, including costs associated with the hurricane in the Boat segment, and challenging competitive dynamics in certain international markets in the Fitness segment. In the first nine months of 2017, gross margin percentage declined due to the same factors described above as well as unfavorable warranty adjustments in the fiberglass sterndrive/inboard boat business and changes in mix between segments.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased overall and as a percentage of net sales during the third quarter of 2017, but decreased as a percentage of sales during the first nine months of 2017. Research and development remained relatively flat as a percentage of sales in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2017. Both line items reflect increased funding to support investments in new products and growth initiatives. Additionally, legal costs in the fiberglass sterndrive/inboard boat business increased during the first nine months of the year when compared with the same prior year period.

The Company recorded restructuring, exit and integration charges of $6.8 million and $27.7 million during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and recorded $2.4 million and $8.8 million of charges during the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016, respectively. Refer to Note 2 – Restructuring, Exit and Integration Activities for further information.

The Company recorded Equity earnings of $1.5 million and $5.2 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, which were mainly related to the Company's marine joint ventures. This compares with Equity earnings of $1.4 million and $3.2 million recorded in the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016, respectively. The Company recognized $1.5 million and $6.0 million in Other income, net in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. This compares with $0.8 million and $1.7 million recognized in Other income, net in the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016, respectively. Other income, net primarily includes the amortization of deferred income related to a trademark licensing agreement with AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. as discussed in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2016 Form 10-K as well as remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates.

Net interest expense was down for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 when compared with the same prior year period.

The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $30.0 million and $99.1 million, respectively, and included a net tax benefit of $0.8 million and $9.1 respectively, primarily associated with the net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation which was recognized as an income tax benefit in accordance with recent changes in accounting guidance. The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016 of $32.8 million and $109.1 million, respectively, which included net tax benefits of $3.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, mainly associated with the reassessment of tax reserves and favorable valuation allowance adjustments. The effective tax rate from continuing operations, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income, for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 27.5 percent and 27.3 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended October 1, 2016 was 27.8 percent and 29.8 percent, respectively.

Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, operating earnings, net earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations decreased during the third quarter of 2017. For the first nine months of 2017 when compared with the same prior year period, diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations and net earnings from continuing operations increased, while operating earnings decreased. Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations also includes the benefits of common stock repurchases on shares outstanding.

Diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share, as adjusted to exclude the earnings per share impact for restructuring, exit and integration charges and special tax items, remained flat at $0.91 per share in both the third quarter of 2017 and 2016 due to the factors discussed in the preceding paragraphs. In the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, restructuring, exit and integration charges from continuing operations were $0.04 per share and $0.02 per share, respectively, and special tax items were a net benefit of $0.01 and $0.04, respectively.

Table of Contents

In the first nine months of 2017, diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share, as adjusted, increased by $0.31 per share, or 11 percent, to $3.11 per share when compared with $2.80 per share for the same prior year period. The increase in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, as adjusted, is due to the factors discussed in the preceding paragraphs. In the first nine months of 2017, restructuring, exit and integration charges were $0.21 per share and special tax items were a net benefit of $0.01 per share. In the first nine months of 2016, restructuring, exit and integration charges were $0.06 per share and special tax items were a net benefit of $0.04 per share.

bpts = basis points

Net sales for the Marine Engine segment increased due to strong growth in outboard engines and solid growth in the marine parts and accessories businesses. Outboard engines benefited from a favorable retail environment, especially for higher horsepower engines, and continued benefits from market share gains. The marine parts and accessories businesses benefited from recent acquisitions and new product launches, as well as the successful execution of the Company's international growth strategy. Partially offsetting these factors was a decrease in sterndrive engine net sales due to the continuing shift to outboards which is resulting in unfavorable global retail demand trends. The revenues from acquired businesses, including Lankhorst Taselaar and Payne's, accounted for one percentage point of the Marine Engine segment's overall revenue growth rate in the third quarter of 2017. International net sales were 30 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2017, and increased 14 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions, international net sales increased 9 percent, which included increases across all regions, particularly Asia-Pacific and Africa and the Middle East.

Net sales for the Marine Engine segment increased in the first nine months of 2017 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above. International net sales were 30 percent of the segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2017, and increased 11 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions, international net sales increased 8 percent with increases across all regions, particularly Asia-Pacific and Europe.

Marine Engine segment operating earnings increased in the third quarter of 2017 when compared with the same prior year period as a result of higher net sales, improved cost efficiencies and favorable impacts from foreign exchange, partially offset by planned increases in growth related investments in advance of new product introductions. Operating earnings for the nine months ended increased when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period, except foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact.

Boat segment net sales increased slightly in the third quarter of 2017 when compared with the third quarter of 2016 due to strong growth in the aluminum outboard boat business, which benefited from solid market growth and higher production levels of pontoon boats. Sales increases were mostly offset by demand-related production reductions in the large sterndrive/inboard boat category. Additionally, production disruptions resulting from Hurricane Irma affected sales of products manufactured at the Company's Florida-based operations, particularly fiberglass outboard boat operations. Average selling prices were slightly lower, as benefits from the continued migration to boats with more content and higher horsepower engines were more than offset by a shift in mix between boat categories, reflecting the factors impacting sales comparisons. The segment also benefited from increased wholesale unit demand. International net sales were 22 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2017, and increased 8 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis and increased 5 percent on a constant currency basis. Sales increases in Europe and Canada were partially offset by declines in Africa and the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

Boat segment net sales increased in the first nine months of 2017 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, except average selling prices were up slightly and an acquired business, Thunder Jet, accounted for one percentage point of the Boat segment's overall revenue growth rate. International net sales were 25 percent of the segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2017, and increased 9 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions, international net sales increased 8 percent as increases in Europe, Canada and Latin America were partially offset by declines in Africa and the Middle East and Asia-Pacific.

Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the third quarter of 2017 when compared with the third quarter of 2016. Benefits from slightly higher sales were more than offset by unfavorable changes in sales mix as well as manufacturing inefficiencies, including costs associated with the hurricane.

Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the first nine months of 2017 compared with 2016 due to the same factors discussed for the quarterly period above as well as higher restructuring, exit and integration charges and operating losses mostly associated with the closure of the manufacturing facility in Brazil, unfavorable warranty adjustments related to larger boats and litigation costs in the fiberglass sterndrive/inboard boats business as well as higher commodity costs in the first quarter of 2017 that affected our aluminum boat business.

Fitness segment net sales increased primarily due to the ICG acquisition, which contributed 2 percent to the segment's growth rate in the quarter. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, Fitness revenues reflected flat overall global market demand, with growth in sales to value-oriented clubs being offset by softness in sales to traditional clubs and other vertical markets. International net sales were 47 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2017 and decreased one percent compared with the same prior year period on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions, the segment's international net sales decreased 4 percent when compared with the same prior year period as a result of declines in Europe, Africa and the Middle East and Canada, partially offset by increases in Latin America and Asia-Pacific.

Net sales increased in the first nine months of 2017 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, except net sales increased 2 percent excluding the impact of acquisitions. The ICG and Cybex acquisitions accounted for 4 percentage points of the segment's overall revenue growth rate. International net sales were 47 percent of the segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2017 and increased 8 percent compared with the same prior year period on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions, the segment's international net sales increased 4 percent in the first nine months of 2017 as sales increases in Asia-Pacific and Latin America were partially offset by decreases in Europe and Canada.

Fitness segment operating earnings decreased in the third quarter of 2017 resulting from lower margins, reflecting higher restructuring, exit and integration charges, more challenging competitive dynamics in certain international markets and unfavorable changes in sales mix, which more than offset benefits from acquisitions and cost reduction efforts.

Operating earnings decreased for the nine months ended 2017 as a result of the same factors described in the quarterly period above. Additionally, planned costs associated with capacity expansions, new product introductions and manufacturing facility transitions, the net unfavorable impacts of non-recurring adjustments in the second quarter of both 2017 and 2016 as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange also affected operating earnings. The non-recurring items related to an unfavorable liability adjustment in 2017 and the favorable resolution of a claim in 2016.

Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources

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



(in millions)	September 30, 2017			October 1, 2016
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations	$	255.1		$	293.2

Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment	8.0			1.7
Effect of exchange rate changes	9.0			5.6
Total free cash flow from continuing operations ^(A)	$	118.7		$	168.6

__________

(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 tool 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 investments, acquisitions, dividend payments and share repurchase programs 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 the first nine months of 2017, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $255.1 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by a seasonal increase in working capital. Working capital is defined as Accounts and notes receivable, Inventories and Prepaid expenses and other, net of Accounts payable and Accrued expenses as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding the impact of acquisitions and non-cash adjustments. Net inventories increased by $90.7 million, primarily driven by increases to support higher sales volumes, along with new product transitions in the Fitness segment and the impact of Hurricane Irma on boat operations. Accounts and notes receivable increased $51.4 million due primarily to normal seasonal changes in net sales and timing of collections. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in Accrued expenses of $28.5 million, primarily driven by payroll timing, partially offset by the payment of the prior year's variable compensation and deferred compensation, which had been accrued as of December 31, 2016. Accounts payable increased $11.7 million due to normal volume increases.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations during the first nine months of 2017 totaled $121.9 million, which included capital expenditures of $153.4 million. The Company's capital spending is focused on new product introductions and capacity expansion projects in all segments. Cash paid for the acquisition of Lankhorst Taselaar, net of cash acquired, was $15.5 million. Net cash used for investing activities also included net proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $35.0 million and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $8.0 million.

Net cash used for financing activities of continuing operations was $173.7 million during the first nine months of 2017. The cash outflow included common stock repurchase activity and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.

2016 Cash Flow

In the first nine months of 2016, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $293.2 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. Net inventories

Table of Contents

increased by $45.7 million during the first nine months of 2016 due to increases in production to support higher sales volumes. Accrued expenses decreased $26.0 million during the first nine months of 2016, which included the impact of the payments of the prior year's variable compensation and deferred compensation, which had been accrued as of December 31, 2015, as well as the timing of certain accruals. Accounts and notes receivable increased $24.0 million during the first nine months of 2016, due primarily to normal seasonal changes in net sales in the Marine Engine segment and timing of collections. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in Accounts payable of $22.0 million, which was the result of increased domestic production in the Company's Marine Engine segment and timing of payments.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations during the first nine months of 2016 totaled $377.9 million, which included capital expenditures of $131.9 million. The Company's capital spending is focused on new product introductions, capacity expansion projects in all segments and other high priority, profit-enhancing projects. Cash paid for the acquisitions of Cybex, Thunder Jet and ICG in the first, second and third quarters of 2016, respectively, net of cash acquired, totaled $269.5 million in the first nine months of 2016. Partially offsetting these items were net proceeds from sales or maturities of marketable securities of $10.7 million and $9.8 million from investments.

Net cash used for financing activities of continuing operations was $137.7 million during the first nine months of 2016. The cash outflow included common stock repurchase activity and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company views its highly liquid assets as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and October 1, 2016 as:

(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 14 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's lending facility.

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

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $391.9 million as of September 30, 2017, a decrease of $66.3 million from $458.2 million as of December 31, 2016, and a decrease of $46.1 million from $438.0 million as of October 1, 2016. Total debt as of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016 and October 1, 2016 was $441.8 million, $442.4 million and $452.2 million, respectively. The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 22.0 percent as of September 30, 2017, down from 23.5 percent as of December 31, 2016 and from 24.0 percent as of October 1, 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 $120 million of stock under these authorizations and, as of September 30, 2017, the remaining authorization was $120 million.

Net activity in working capital is projected to reflect a usage of cash in 2017 in the range of $30 million to $50 million. Additionally, the Company plans to make cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of approximately $75 million, consistent with prior year levels. The Company is planning for capital expenditures of approximately $185 million to $195 million, reflecting substantial new product investments in the outboard engine and fitness businesses and continued capacity investments to support new products and growth. Including these factors, the Company plans to generate free cash flow in 2017 in excess of $250 million.

The Company contributed $55.0 million and $70.0 million to its qualified pension plans in the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and expects to make additional contributions of $15 million during 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made settlement payments from plan assets to purchase group annuity contracts to cover future benefit payments relating to the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees and the Brunswick Pension Plan For Salaried Employees; plan assets were also used to purchase group annuity contracts to cover future benefit payments as well as lump-sum benefit payments to certain participants related to the previously announced terminations of the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Employees and the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Wage Employees. The Company expects to incur a total settlement loss of approximately $90 million to $105 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 in conjunction with these actions. Refer to Note 15 – Subsequent Events for further details.

The Company also contributed $3.1 million and $2.7 million to fund benefit payments in its nonqualified pension plan during the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and expects to contribute approximately $1 million of additional funding to the plan through the remainder of 2017. Company contributions are subject to change based on market conditions, pension funding regulations and Company discretion.
