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.

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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the 2018 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 third quarter of fiscal year 2019 ended on September 28, 2019 and the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 ended on September 29, 2018.

On June 27, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Fitness business. The Company determined that the sale of its Fitness business represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As a result, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of the Fitness business as held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all prior periods. Additionally, this business, which was previously reported in the Company's Fitness segment, is being reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. See Note 3 – Discontinued Operations for further information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recognition of Leases: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases, (new leasing standard), which amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new leasing standard and all related amendments. The Company elected the optional transition method provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, and as a result, has not restated its condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods presented. The Company has elected the practical expedients upon transition to retain the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption. The Company has also not reassessed whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases.

The standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2019 for the adoption of the new leasing standard was as follows:



(in millions)	Balance as of December 31, 2018		Adjustments Due to ASC 842			Balance as of January 1, 2019
Assets
Operating lease assets	$	—	$	80.1		$	80.1
Long-term assets held for sale	610.3		21.1			631.4

Current liabilities
Accrued expenses	502.1		16.4			518.5
Current liabilities held for sale	255.0		2.9			257.9

Long-term liabilities
Other	101.6		(3.4		)	98.2
Operating lease liabilities	—		67.1			67.1
Long-term liabilities held for sale	99.6		18.2			117.8

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at lease inception. Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company's lease contracts do not include an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The operating lease asset also includes any initial direct costs and lease payments made prior to lease commencement, and excludes lease incentives incurred.

The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has certain lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to account for as a single lease component for all asset classes.

Measurement of Goodwill Impairment: In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, goodwill impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit. The standard also clarifies the treatment of the income tax effect of tax-deductible goodwill when measuring goodwill impairment loss. The Company early adopted this amendment on January 1, 2019.

Tax Effects in Other Comprehensive Income: In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), which requires certain new disclosures and permits companies to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within AOCI to retained earnings. The Company currently records its stranded tax effects in AOCI using the portfolio approach. Upon adoption, the Company elected not to reclassify stranded tax effects in AOCI to retained earnings and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Hedge Accounting: In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, 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 Company adopted this ASC amendment and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

As of January 1, 2019, $74.8 million of contract liabilities associated with extended warranties and customer deposits were reported in Accrued expenses and Other Long-term liabilities and $4.4 million and $17.5 million of this amount was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively. As of September 28, 2019, total contract liabilities were $98.1 million. The total amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 28, 2019 was $90.8 million for contracts greater than one year, which primarily relates to extended warranties. The Company expects to recognize approximately $8.8 million of this amount in 2019, $23.6 million in 2020, and $58.4 million thereafter.

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations

On May 6, 2019, the Company announced that it reached an agreement to sell its Fitness business to KPS Capital Partners, LP. On June 27, 2019, the Company completed the sale. The sale resulted in net proceeds of $473.7 million and an after-tax loss of $45.0 million. In connection with the sale of its Fitness business, the Company retained assets of $26.4 million primarily related to VAT receivables, and retained liabilities of $45.1 million primarily related to VAT payables, product warranty liabilities and certain employee benefits. As of September 28, 2019, retained assets and liabilities were $26.4 million and $42.6 million, respectively.

In connection with the sale of the Fitness business, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (TSA) with the purchaser to provide certain support functions for a period of up to twelve months following the sale. The TSA is not material to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have or anticipate having any significant continuing net cash flows associated with the Fitness business.

The Company determined that the sale of its Fitness business represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The Company no longer participates in the fitness industry and now solely focuses on its global marine portfolio. As a result, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of the Fitness business as held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all prior periods. Additionally, this business, which was previously reported in the Company's Fitness segment, is being reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented.

Note 4 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities

During 2019, the Company recorded restructuring charges within the Boat segment related to consolidating its commercial and government products operations in order to rationalize its product line to better align with customer demand.

In addition, the Company announced headcount reductions aimed at streamlining the cost structure of its enterprise-wide general and administrative functions. The Company estimates approximately $13 million of charges will be incurred across the organization related to this action, with the majority recognized in the first nine months of 2019.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company ended the sale process of its Sea Ray business and, as a result of a change in the plan of sale, recorded an impairment of long-lived assets. In connection with this action, the Company recorded charges beginning in the second quarter of 2018 associated with the wind down of Sport Yacht and Yacht production, mainly relating to inventory write-downs, increased warranty liabilities and employee severance and retention bonuses. The Company also incurred transaction costs during the sale process. These costs were partially offset by the reversal of the valuation allowance for estimated transaction costs which was recorded when the assets and liabilities of Sea Ray were initially reclassified as held for sale.

In 2018, the Company also executed headcount reductions in the Boat segment aimed at improving general operating efficiencies as well as recorded charges within Corporate related to the transition of certain corporate officers.

2019 Acquisitions

On May 21, 2019, the Company acquired 100 percent of Freedom Boat Club, a leading boat club operator based in Florida. The acquisition expands the Company's presence and scale within the emerging and fast-growing boat club market, providing its over 20,000 members access to a fleet of nearly 2,500 boats. Freedom Boat Club is included as part of the Company's Boat segment.

The net cash consideration the Company paid to acquire Freedom Boat Club was $64.1 million. The preliminary opening balance sheet included $29.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships, franchise agreements and trade names for $11.1 million, $4.9 million and $13.2 million, respectively, along with $26.3 million of goodwill, most of which is deductible for tax purposes.

Note 6 – Financial Instruments

The Company operates globally with manufacturing and sales facilities around the world. Due to the Company’s global operations, the Company engages in activities involving both financial and market risks. The Company utilizes normal operating and financing activities, along with derivative financial instruments, to minimize these risks. See Note 15 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K for further details regarding the Company's financial instruments and hedging policies.

Foreign Currency Derivatives. Forward exchange contracts outstanding at September 28, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 29, 2018 had notional contract values of $309.8 million, $308.9 million and $249.4 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Derivatives. The Company enters into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its long-term debt from fixed to floating rate debt. In the third quarter of 2019, the Company retired its Senior notes due 2021 and settled the associated interest rate swaps.

These instruments have been designated as fair value hedges, with the fair value recorded in long-term debt.

Note 8 – Share-Based Compensation

Under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may grant 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 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 September 28, 2019, 5.1 million shares remained available for grant.

Share grant amounts, fair values, and fair value assumptions reflect 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. The Company granted nominal stock awards during the three months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018. The Company granted 0.4 million and 0.3 million of stock awards during the nine months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, 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 28, 2019, the Company charged $3.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and charged $3.3 million and $8.4 million during the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock awards.

As of September 28, 2019, there was $12.3 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 1.4 years.

Performance Awards

In both February of 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 0.1 million and 0.2 million performance shares to certain senior executives, respectively. 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 the Company's stock returns measured against stock returns of a predefined comparator group over a three-year performance period. Additionally, in February 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 24,605 and 24,490 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 and nine months ended September 28, 2019, the Company charged $1.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and charged $1.9 million and $3.0 million, for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, 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 2019 and 2018 were $49.64 and $61.59, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:



	2019		2018
Risk-free interest rate	2.9	%	2.4	%
Dividend yield	1.7	%	1.3	%
Volatility factor	41.0	%	38.9	%
Expected life of award	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 $47.61 and $57.19 in 2019 and 2018, respectively, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2019 and 2018, respectively, less the present value of expected dividend payments over the vesting period.

As of September 28, 2019, the Company had $4.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 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 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

On May 31, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued its opinion in the matter of Cobalt Boats, LLC vs. Brunswick. That opinion reversed, in its entirety, an October 31, 2017 judgment on a jury verdict against Brunswick of $5.4 million plus attorneys’ fees of $2.5 million and applicable interest which was entered by the US District for the Eastern District of Virginia. The Court of Appeals found Brunswick did not infringe the Cobalt patent and that Brunswick was entitled to judgment of non-infringement as a matter of law. The parties have agreed there would be no further appeals.

There were no other material changes during the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019 to the financial commitments or the legal and environmental contingencies that were discussed in Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K.

The income tax provision for both periods included a $17.2 million net provision related to the settlement of the Company's qualified defined benefit plans in the third quarter of 2019. The tax impact of this action consisted of a tax benefit of $74.2 million from the pension settlement charge, which was netted against a tax charge of $91.4 million resulting from the release of disproportionate tax effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 of $6.7 million and $48.4 million, respectively, which included net tax benefits of $10.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The net tax benefits of $10.7 million and $5.1 million were primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 was not meaningful as a result of the tax impacts resulting from the pension settlement discussed above. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 was 8.2 percent and 18.9 percent, respectively.

No deferred income taxes have been provided as of September 28, 2019, December 31, 2018 or September 29, 2018 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 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 28, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 29, 2018, the Company had $3.5 million, $2.3 million and $2.6 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 28, 2019 could decrease by approximately $0.6 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 2019, 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 2014 tax year and all open issues have been resolved. The Company is currently open to tax examinations by the IRS for the 2016 through 2017 tax years. 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 2014 taxable year. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2013.

Note 14 – 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 18 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K for further details regarding these plans.

Pension Settlement. During 2019, total settlement payments of $672.9 million were made from the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (Salaried Plan) and the Brunswick Pension Plan for Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees (Bargaining Plan), consisting of lump-sum pension distributions of $77.1 million and the purchase of group annuity contracts totaling $595.8 million to cover future benefit payments. The annuity contracts unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee 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 $294.1 million in the third quarter related to these actions.

In March 2019, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million of its 6.375% Senior Notes (2049 Notes) due April 2049 in a public offering, which resulted in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $222.0 million. Net proceeds from the offering of the 2049 Notes were used to prepay all of the $150.0 million, 3-year tranche loan due 2021 and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 2049 Notes is due quarterly, commencing on April 15, 2019. The Company may, at its option, redeem the 2049 Notes on or after (but not prior to) April 15, 2024, either in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, in the event of a change in control, the Company may be required to repurchase some or all of its 2049 Notes at a price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

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

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) 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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the 2018 Form 10-K) and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

Certain statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. For example, 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 and Sport Yacht and Yacht operations; the discussion of the Company's earnings includes a presentation of operating earnings and operating margin excluding restructuring, exit and impairment charges, Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, purchase accounting amortization, acquisition-related costs and other applicable charges; gross margin excluding Sport Yacht and Yacht operations; 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 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. In order to better align Brunswick's reported results with the internal metrics used by the Company's management to evaluate business performance as well as to provide better comparisons to prior periods and peer data, non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization.

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

Discontinued Operations

On June 27, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Fitness business. This business, which was previously reported as the Company's Fitness segment, is being reported as discontinued operations 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 3 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Presentation of Sea Ray Results

As discussed in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations in the 2018 Form 10-K, the Company largely completed the wind down of its Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations during 2018. Non-GAAP figures exclude the results of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations in 2018 and certain amounts in 2019 related to changes in estimated liabilities.

Acquisition of Power Products

On August 9, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of the Global Marine & Mobile Business of Power Products Holdings, LLC (Power Products) for $909.6 million in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis. For further discussion regarding the acquisition, refer to Note 5 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

Overview and Outlook

Overview

Net sales decreased 6 percent during the third quarter of 2019 when compared with the third quarter of 2018. The Marine Engine segment reported sales reductions in the quarter as the addition of Power Products and continued gains in higher horsepower outboard engine categories were partially mitigated by the impacts of planned reductions in outboard engines 150 horsepower and below resulting from the challenging retail market environment in the first half of the year, as well as lower sales of sterndrive engines. Boat segment net sales decreased primarily due to planned reductions in wholesale unit shipments of value pontoons and aluminum fish products in response to the challenging retail market environment in the first half of the year. Saltwater fishing sales were affected by challenging comparisons between years at Boston Whaler due to leaning pipelines in advance of upcoming major product launches. International net sales for the Company increased 1 percent in the third quarter of 2019 on a GAAP basis as well as on a constant currency basis excluding the impact of acquisitions. International sales were primarily driven by increases in Asia-Pacific and Europe.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2019 increased 1 percent compared with the same prior year period and increased 2 percent excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. Sales growth for the Marine Engine segment was led by the Power Products acquisition and robust demand for higher horsepower outboard engine products, partially offset by the negative factors described for the quarterly period above. Boat segment net sales were down for the same factors described for the quarterly period above, partially offset by gains in premium offerings, including Sea Ray Sport Boats and Cruisers and Lund. International net sales for the Company increased 4 percent in the first nine months of 2019 on a GAAP basis as well as on a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions. International sales increases were driven by increases in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest-of-World, partially offset by slight decreases in Canada.

Operating earnings in the third quarter of 2019 were $119.7 million and included $8.1 million of restructuring, exit, impairment and other charges, $7.5 million of purchase accounting amortization and $0.5 million of acquisition-related costs. Excluding these items, operating earnings for the third quarter of 2019 were $135.8 million leading to an operating margin of 13.9 percent. In the third quarter of 2018, the Company reported operating earnings of $98.2 million including restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $9.4 million, losses of $11.9 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, $10.5 million of acquisition-related costs and $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization. Excluding these items, operating earnings in the third quarter of 2018 were $139.4 million with an operating margin of 13.5 percent. The increase in operating earnings was mostly the result of the items discussed above.

Operating earnings in the first nine months of 2019 were $396.5 million and included $17.2 million of restructuring, exit, impairment and other charges, $22.0 million of purchase accounting amortization, $2.9 million of charges related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations and $1.8 million of acquisition-related costs. Excluding these items, operating earnings for the first nine months of 2019 were $440.4 million with an operating margin of 13.8 percent. In the first nine months of 2018, the Company reported operating earnings of $285.8 million including restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $46.2 million, losses of $47.4 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, $13.0 million of acquisition-related costs and $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization. Excluding these items, operating earnings in the first nine months of 2018 were $401.8 million with an operating margin of 12.9 percent. The increase in operating earnings was mostly the result of the net impact of the items discussed above.

Outlook

The Company is projecting 2019 to be another year of revenue and earnings growth with strong free cash flow generation of approximately $260 million. The Company is targeting slight improvement in net sales growth, including an approximate 4 percent benefit from the Power Products acquisition completed in 2018.

The Company expects net sales to benefit from the ongoing customer migration to higher horsepower engines and boats with increased technology and content, market share gains stemming from continued strong demand and acceptance of new outboard products and stable performance by the parts and accessories business. Mostly offsetting these positive factors are headwinds from reductions of wholesale unit shipments, particularly to align value-oriented boat product pipelines with first half reductions in retail demand, as well as second half reductions in shipments and pipeline inventories for certain Boston Whaler product lines in advance of new product launches. The Company anticipates the Marine Engine segment will increase net sales in the low single digit percentage range while Boat segment net sales are expected to decrease in the mid single digit percent range.

Table of Contents

The Company anticipates solid improvements in gross margins and operating margins, reflecting benefits from new products, favorable trends in sales mix, cost reduction and containment initiatives, and acquisition contributions, while tariffs and currency fluctuations remain headwinds. The Company anticipates operating earnings to increase by a mid single digit percent.

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company announced cost reduction measures to drive greater efficiency and reduce the annual operating costs of its marine businesses and corporate functions. These actions are expected to reduce costs by approximately $50 million on an annual run-rate basis, with a significant portion of the benefit recognized beginning in 2020. The Company expects to incur approximately $13 million of restructuring charges in 2019 related to these actions, with the majority recognized in the first nine months of 2019.

The Company is planning for its effective tax rate in 2019 to be approximately 22 percent based on existing tax law.

Matters Affecting Comparability

Certain events have occurred which the Company believes affect the comparability of the results of operations. The table below summarizes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, recent acquisitions and Sport Yacht and Yacht operations on the Company's net sales:



	Three Months Ended
	Net Sales						2019 vs. 2018
(in millions)	September 28, 2019			September 29, 2018			GAAP		Constant Currency Impact		Acquisition Benefit		Impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht

Total	$	3,190.8		$	3,159.8		1.0	%	(1.3	)%	5.1	%	(1.4	)%

Acquisitions. The Company completed acquisitions during 2019 and 2018 which affected the comparability of net sales. The impact on consolidated and segment sales comparisons are reflected above. Refer to Note 5 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

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 22 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 and Brazilian reais.

Additionally, operating earnings comparisons between 2019 and 2018 were negatively affected by foreign exchange rates by approximately $3 million and $12 million in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively. These estimates include the impact of translation on all sales and costs transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar along with the impact of hedging activities.

Sport Yacht and Yacht Wind-down. As discussed in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations in the 2018 Form 10-K, the Company largely completed the wind down of its Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations during 2018, with wind-down activity in 2019.

Table of Contents

The results of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 are summarized in the table below:

Acquisition-related costs. In connection with the Freedom Boat Club acquisition in the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $0.5 million and $1.8 million of costs within Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) during the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively. In connection with the Power Products acquisition in the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded $10.5 million and $13.0 million of costs within SG&A during the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively. As part of the financing of the acquisition, the Company recorded $5.1 million of Transaction financing charges in the third quarter of 2018 to secure the 364-Day Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility.

Purchase accounting amortization. As part of purchase accounting, the Company recognizes definite-lived intangible assets which will be amortized over their useful lives. During the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, the Company recorded $7.5 million and $22.0 million, respectively, of purchase accounting amortization within SG&A. During both the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, the Company recorded $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization within SG&A.

Pension settlement charge. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company fully exited its remaining defined benefit pension plans and recorded a pretax pension settlement charge of $294.1 million. There were no comparable charges in the prior year period. Refer to Note 14 – Postretirement Benefits in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Tax items. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 of $43.3 million and $93.8 million, respectively. The income tax provision for both periods included a $17.2 million net provision

Table of Contents

related to the settlement of the Company's qualified defined benefit plans in the third quarter of 2019. The tax impact of this action consisted of a tax benefit of $74.2 million from the pension settlement charge, which was netted against a tax charge of $91.4 million resulting from the release of disproportionate tax effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 of $6.7 million and $48.4 million, respectively, which included net tax benefits of $10.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The net tax benefits of $10.7 million and $5.1 million were primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 was not meaningful as a result of the tax impacts resulting from the pension settlement discussed above. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 was 8.2 percent and 18.9 percent, respectively.

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


(B)	Refer to the Matters Affecting Comparability section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the impact of Sport yacht & yachts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.


(C)	For both the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, the Company recorded $4.6 million of purchase accounting amortization within COS.


(D)	The Company recorded $7.5 million and $22.0 million in the third quarter and in the first nine months of 2019, respectively, and recorded $4.8 million in both the third quarter and in the first nine months of 2018, of charges within Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) related to purchase accounting amortization.


(E)	The Company recorded acquisition-related costs of $10.5 million and $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and recorded $1.8 million and $13.0 million in the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively, within SG&A. Refer to Note 5 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.


(F)	The Company recorded $0.7 million and $1.2 million of charges in the third quarter and first nine months of 2019, respectively, within SG&A, related to IT transformation costs resulting from the Fitness separation.

The Company also recorded non-operating charges of $5.1 million within Transaction financing charges in the third quarter of 2018, which related to the Bridge Facility. Additionally, this includes $2.5 million and $10.7 million of net charges for special tax items for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and includes $2.4 million and $5.1 million of net charges for special tax items for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Net sales decreased during the third quarter of 2019 and increased during the first nine months of 2019 when compared with the same prior year period. Refer to the Marine Engine segment and Boat segment discussions for further details on the drivers of net sales changes.

Gross margin percentage increased in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 when compared with the same prior year periods, reflecting benefits from the absence of the Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations in 2019, which had a negative gross margin impact in 2018, as well as improvements in the Marine Engine segment including benefits from the Power Products acquisition as well as favorable changes in sales mix. These positive factors more than offset the impact of lower sales, tariffs and unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates. Additionally, the gross margin percentage reflected favorable comparisons versus

the prior year due to unfavorable plant efficiencies associated with production ramp-up for new products and warehouse management integration in the first half of 2018.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) decreased during the third quarter of 2019 and was up nominally when compared with the same prior year period. SG&A included purchase accounting amortization, acquisition-related costs, and the impacts of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, as applicable. Excluding these items, SG&A as a percentage of sales was slightly lower in the both the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 compared with the same prior year period. Research and development expense was relatively consistent in 2019 versus 2018, reflecting continued investment in new products in both the Marine Engine and Boat segments.

The Company recorded restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $7.4 million and $16.0 million during the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively, and recorded $9.4 million and $46.2 million during the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively. Refer to Note 4 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The Company recorded Equity earnings of $1.9 million and $5.4 million in the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively, which were mainly related to the Company's marine and technology-related joint ventures. This compares with Equity earnings of $1.6 million and $4.0 million recorded in the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $294.1 million of charges related to pension settlement actions as discussed in Note 14 – Postretirement Benefits in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There were no pension settlement actions in 2018.

The Company recognized $0.1 million and $(1.6) million in Other income (expense), net in the three months and nine ended September 28, 2019. This compares with $(0.7) million and $(3.5) million recognized in Other income (expense), net in the three months and nine ended September 29, 2018. Other expense, net primarily includes pension and other postretirement benefit costs (excluding pension settlement charges), the amortization of deferred income related to a trademark licensing agreement with AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. as discussed in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K, as well as remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates.

Net interest expense increased for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 when compared with the same prior year period as a result of recent debt issuances as discussed in Note 15 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 17 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K.

Transaction financing charges of $5.1 million were recorded in the third quarter of 2018 and related to the 364-Day Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility, which was secured in connection with the Power Products acquisition as discussed in Note 17 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2018 Form 10-K.

The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 was not meaningful as a result of the tax impacts resulting from the pension settlement discussed above. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 was 8.2 percent and 18.9 percent, respectively.

Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, operating earnings increased, while net earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations decreased during the both the third quarter of 2019 and first nine months of 2019 when compared with the same prior year periods.

Adjusted diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations decreased during the third quarter of 2019 but increased for the nine months ended September 29, 2019 when compared with the same prior year periods. The following table

(A) Includes $7.1 million and $21.5 million of purchase accounting amortization in the third quarter and the first nine months, respectively, of 2019. For both the third quarter and first nine months of 2018, includes $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization.

(B) Includes acquisition-related costs of $10.5 million and $13.0 million recorded in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2018, respectively.

The Marine Engine segment reported net sales declines in the third quarter of 2019, including benefits from the Power Products acquisition, which had an accretive impact of 4 percentage points to the segment's revenue growth rate. The propulsion business benefited from continued robust demand for higher horsepower engines, particularly in the 175 to 300 horsepower V-6 and V-8 categories introduced in 2018, but overall performance was lower due to lower sales of outboard engines 150 horsepower and below and sterndrive engines as noted earlier. The marine parts and accessories business continued its steady performance in the quarter. International net sales were 30 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2019 and were flat versus the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of the Power Products acquisition, international net sales decreased 1 percent as increases in Rest-of-World, Asia-Pacific and Europe were more than offset by declines in Canada.

For the first nine months of 2019, Marine Engine segment net sales increased and included benefits from the Power Products acquisition, which accounted for 7 percent of the segment's revenue growth rate. Net sales for the segment declined on an organic basis as a result of the same factors described above. International net sales were 30 percent of the segment's net sales through the third quarter of 2019 and increased 8 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of the Power Products acquisition, international net sales increased 6 percent mainly due to increases in Europe and Asia-Pacific, partially offset by declines in Canada.

Marine Engine segment operating earnings for the quarter and year-to-date periods increased as a result of benefits from the Power Products acquisition, favorable changes in sales mix and cost control measures, partially offset by the impact of tariffs, unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates and volume declines in the third quarter of 2019. Additionally, the operating earnings increase for the year-to-date period included favorable comparisons versus the prior year due to unfavorable plant efficiencies

NM = not meaningful

(A) Includes acquisition-related costs of $0.5 million and $1.8 million recorded in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019, respectively. Also includes purchase accounting amortization of $0.4 million and $0.5 million recorded in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019, respectively.

(B) In the nine months ended September 28, 2019, Sport Yacht and Yacht included $(0.7) million of charges within Net sales related to estimated retail sales incentives to support the sale of sport yachts and yachts currently in the dealer pipeline. In the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, results included $0.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively, of charges within Net sales to support the sale of sport yachts and yachts in the dealer pipeline at that time.

Boat segment net sales in the third quarter decreased 14.1 percent versus 2018. By category, aluminum freshwater sales were down primarily due to planned reductions in value pontoons and aluminum fish products. Excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations which have been exited, recreational fiberglass gains included improvement at Sea Ray. Saltwater fishing performance was down, but in line with expectations as the overall industry category has leveled off after several years of strong growth. Overall, average selling prices increased reflecting expanded content on boats, along with inflationary price increases. International sales were 22 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2019 and increased 4 percent on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international sales increased 5 percent primarily due to increases in Canada.

Boat segment net sales decreased in the first nine months of 2019 for the same reasons described above in the quarterly period. International sales were 25 percent of the segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2019 and decreased 7 percent on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international sales decreased 4 percent reflecting declines in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Boat segment operating earnings increased in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 when compared with the same prior year periods, primarily reflecting the absence of Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht wind-down costs and losses in 2018. Excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, operating earnings decreased as a result of lower volume, higher retail discounts required to lower pipelines during the second-half of the year and planned spending on profit improvement initiatives. These negative factors were partially offset by cost control measures. Additionally, year-to-date comparisons were negatively impacted by less favorable plant efficiencies at certain of our boat facilities in the first quarter of 2019, due in part to new product integrations.

(A) Includes $0.7 million and $1.2 million of IT transformation costs for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively.

Corporate operating expenses decreased in the third quarter of 2019 as well as the first nine months of 2019 as a result of several factors which included cost containment measures largely completed by the end of the third quarter of 2019. This factor was partially offset by higher restructuring, exit and impairment charges and IT transformation costs in 2019.

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 28, 2019			September 29, 2018
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations	$	254.2		$	190.0
Net cash provided by (used for):
Plus: Capital expenditures	(178.4		)	(113.3		)
Plus: Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment	6.4			0.2
Plus: Effect of exchange rate changes	(3.2		)	(3.6		)
Less: Cash impact of Sport Yacht & Yacht operations, net of tax	—			(32.3		)
Total free cash flow from continuing operations ^(A)	$	79.0		$	105.6

(A) The Company defines “Free cash flow” as cash flow from operating and investing activities of continuing operations (excluding cash provided by or used for acquisitions, investments, purchases or sales/maturities of marketable securities and other investing activities, as well as the cash impact of Sport Yacht & Yacht operations, net of tax) and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. Free cash flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States. 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” 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, proceeds from divestitures and potential borrowings. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.

2019 Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the first nine months of 2019 totaled $254.2 million versus $190.0 million in the comparable period of 2018. This comparison reflected lower pension contributions and higher net earnings, net of non-cash items (depreciation and amortization, impairments and income tax impacts not yet realized in cash) in 2019, which were partially offset by unfavorable working capital usage trends.

Table of Contents

In the first nine months of 2019, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $254.2 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by an 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. Accounts payable decreased $72.8 million primarily due to timing of payments and lower production levels in the Marine Engine segment. Accrued expenses decreased $56.3 million, primarily driven by the impact of payments of the prior year's variable compensation and Sport Yacht and Yacht wind-down activities. Inventory increased $36.1 million as a result of increased finished goods in the Marine Engine segment. Accounts and notes receivable increased $27.2 million primarily due to seasonal changes in net sales in the Marine Engine segment and timing of collections.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations was $231.4 million, which included capital expenditures of $178.4 million and cash paid for the acquisition of Freedom Boat Club of $64.1 million. The Company's capital spending focused on investments in capacity expansion initiatives as well as new products, mostly in the Marine Engine segment. Net cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations was $481.9 million and mainly related to proceeds from the sale of the Fitness business.

Net cash used for financing activities was $389.2 million and primarily related to common stock repurchases, cash dividends paid to common shareholders and net payments from issuances of long-term debt. Refer to Note 15 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's debt activity during the quarter.

2018 Cash Flow

In the first nine months of 2018, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $190.0 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by planned pension contributions and a seasonal increase in working capital. Accounts and notes receivable increased $71.5 million due primarily to seasonal changes in net sales and timing of collections in the Marine Engine segment. Inventory and Accounts payable increased $28.2 million and $55.2 million, respectively, primarily due to increased sales and production activity in the Marine Engine segment.

Net cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of 2018 totaled $1,025.5 million, primarily driven by cash paid for the acquisition of Power Products of $910.0 million and capital expenditures of $113.3 million. The Company's capital spending focused on investments in new products as well as capacity expansion initiatives.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $654.0 million during the first nine months of 2018. The cash inflow was mainly due to $796.6 million of net proceeds from issuances of short-term and long-term debt in connection with the Power Products acquisition, partially offset by 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 28, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 29, 2018 as:

(A) See Note 15 – 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 $367.0 million as of September 28, 2019, an increase of $71.8 million from $295.2 million as of December 31, 2018, and an increase of $63.8 million from $303.2 million as of September 29, 2018. Total debt as of September 28, 2019, December 31, 2018 and September 29, 2018 was $1,131.5 million, $1,220.8 million and $1,229.8 million, respectively. The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 44.4 percent as of September 28, 2019, up from 43.5 percent as of December 31, 2018 and from 44.1 percent as of September 29, 2018.

In June and July of 2019, the Company announced cost reduction measures to drive greater efficiency and reduce the annual operating costs of its marine businesses and corporate functions. These actions are expected to reduce costs by approximately $50 million on an annual run-rate basis, with a significant portion of the benefit recognized beginning in 2020. The Company expects to incur approximately $13 million of restructuring charges in 2019 related to these actions, with the majority recognized in the first nine months of 2019 within Restructuring, exit and impairment charges.

In the first quarter of 2019, and consistent with the Company's plan to substantially reduce all of its near-term maturity debt, the Company issued $230 million of 30-year senior notes and used $150 million of the proceeds to retire its 3-year term loan due 2021. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2019 the Company retired its $150.0 million of senior notes due 2021. Refer to Note 15 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's debt activity during 2019. Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to meet the Company's short-term and long-term needs.

During the first nine months of 2019, the Company borrowed a total of $655.0 million under the Credit Facility, all of which was repaid during the period. The maximum amount utilized under the Credit Facility during the period, including letters of credit outstanding, was $258.6 million. The Company did not borrow under the Credit Facility during 2018.

During the the nine months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, the company contributed $3.5 million and $160.0 million, respectively to its qualified pension plans. During the nine months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, the Company contributed $3.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, to fund benefit payments to its nonqualified pension plan.

During the third quarter of 2019, settlement payments were made from the Company's defined benefit plans to fully exit the plans through group annuity contracts or lump-sum payments to certain participants. As a result of this action, the Company incurred a non-cash, after-tax pension settlement charge of $311.3 million, including the recognition of actuarial losses as well as certain income tax consequences.

Cash Flow Outlook and Capital Plan

The Company is projecting an increase in net earnings in 2019 when compared with 2018. Net activity in working capital is projected to reflect a usage of cash in 2019 in the range of $50 million to $70 million. Additionally, the Company is planning for capital expenditures of approximately $230 million, including investments in capacity and new products, as well as cash payments in 2019 that relate to 2018 engine manufacturing capacity projects. Including these and other factors, the Company plans to generate free cash flow in 2019 of approximately $260 million.

As a result of completed debt actions in 2019, the Company's next significant note maturity will be in 2023. Any additional debt reductions will be funded primarily through free cash flow. The Company estimates interest expense for 2019 to be approximately $72 million.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $470 million from the sale of its Fitness business in the second quarter of 2019 and revised its capital strategy. As a result, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an additional $600 million of share repurchases in 2019, including $450 million announced in the second quarter of 2019 and an additional $150 million announced on July 16, 2019. The Company repurchased approximately $230 million of shares in the first nine months of 2019, bringing the total remaining authorization to approximately $405 million, and plans to repurchase an additional $170 million of shares during the remainder of 2019.

Quarterly dividend payments for 2019 were raised to $0.24 per share in the fourth quarter, an increase from $0.21 per share for the first three quarters of the year. The Company may adjust these levels as it evaluates its cash flow performance and its broader set of capital opportunities.

The Company expects its cash tax rate to be in the low-to-mid-single digit percentage range in 2019.

Financing Joint Venture

Through the Company's Brunswick Financial Services Corporation subsidiary, Brunswick owns 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 Brunswick's boat and engine dealers. A subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company owns the remaining 51 percent. The Company's financial services joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC, is detailed in the 2018 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations, as of December 31, 2018, are detailed in the 2018 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these arrangements and obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2018.

Environmental Regulation

There were no material changes in the Company's environmental regulatory requirements since the filing of its 2018 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in the 2018 Form 10-K, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

As a result of the early adoption of ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment as discussed in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company no longer uses the two-step goodwill impairment test described in the 2018 Form 10-K. Previously, the first step of the goodwill impairment test compared the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount exceeded fair value, a second step was performed to measure the implied fair value of goodwill and compare it with the carrying value of goodwill. Under the new standard, the second step is not performed; the goodwill impairment is simply measured as the carrying value of the reporting unit less its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. The Company applied the new standard in calculating the $137.2 million goodwill impairment recorded within the Fitness segment, now reported as Discontinued Operations, in the first quarter of 2019.

There were no further material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies since the filing of its 2018 Form 10-K.
