Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements. Brunswick's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements 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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the 2020 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.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of the Company's short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts and notes receivable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. As of July 3, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 27, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including short-term debt and current maturities, was approximately $1,001.4 million, $1,062.3 million and $1,382.7 million, respectively, and was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs described in Note 7 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2020 Form 10-K. The carrying value of long-term debt, including short-term debt and current maturities, was $895.6 million, $972.1 million and $1,307.3 million as of July 3, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 27, 2020, respectively.

Note 8 – Share-Based Compensation
Under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock units, 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, as well as from: (i) the forfeiture of past stock units and 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 stock units and awards. As of July 3, 2021, 4.7 million shares remained available for grant.
Share grant amounts, fair values, and fair value assumptions reflect all outstanding stock units and awards for both continuing and discontinued operations.
Non-Vested Stock Units
The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units to key employees as determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company granted nominal stock units during the three months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The Company granted 0.2 million and 0.3 million of stock units during the six months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. The Company recorded compensation expense for non-vested stock units of $4.4 million and $7.3 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, and recorded compensation expense for non-vested stock units of $4.4 million and $6.4 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively.
As of July 3, 2021, there was $19.1 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
The Company did not grant any performance shares for the three months ended July 3, 2021 and granted a nominal number of performance shares for the three months ended June 27, 2020. The company granted 0.2 million and 0.1 million performance shares to certain senior executives for the six months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, 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
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
three-year performance period. Additionally, in February 2021 and 2020, the Company granted 24,560 and 26,750 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. The Company recorded compensation expense of $4.3 million and $7.5 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, and recorded compensation expense of $4.5 million and $2.4 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, based on projections of probable attainment of the performance measures and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards.
The fair value of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier for grants in 2021 and 2020 was $91.44 and $64.72, respectively. The fair values were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2021 | | 2020 | | | |
| Risk-free interest rate | 0.2 | % | | 1.4 | % | | | |
| Dividend yield | 1.2 | % | | 1.5 | % | | | |
| Volatility factor | 65.6 | % | | 46.6 | % | | | |
| 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 $87.48 and $61.91 in 2021 and 2020, respectively, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2021 and 2020, respectively, less the present value of expected dividend payments over the vesting period.
As of July 3, 2021, the Company had $13.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 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 13 – Income Taxes
The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 of $55.2 million and $102.6 million, respectively, which included a net charge of $6.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The net charge of $6.2 million is primarily associated with the restructuring of certain branch operations. The net charge of $3.2 million includes the aforementioned branch restructuring charges offset by net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation and valuation allowance adjustments. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 of $17.6 million and $36.0 million, respectively, which included a net charge of $0.4 million related primarily to valuation allowance changes, and a net benefit of $0.4 million associated primarily with the net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, respectively. The excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation was $0.1 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively. There was no excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation for the three months ended June 27, 2020, and the excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 was 23.5 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 was 19.8 percent and 20.2 percent, respectively.
No deferred income taxes have been provided as of July 3, 2021, December 31, 2020 or June 27, 2020 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 July 3, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 27, 2020, the Company had $4.6 million, $4.1 million and $4.4 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 July 3, 2021 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 2021, 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 2017 through 2019 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 – Debt

On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into a commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JP Morgan") to obtain a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in an aggregate amount of principal not to exceed $900.0 million. This commitment letter was completed in anticipation of the acquisition of Navico. Refer to Note 5 – Acquisitions for further details regarding the acquisition.
Credit Facility
The Company maintains an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Facility) providing for $400.0 million of borrowing capacity in effect through September 2024. The Credit Facility includes provisions to add up to $100.0 million of additional borrowing capacity and extend the facility for two additional one-year terms, subject to lender approval. As of July 3, 2021 there were no borrowings outstanding, and available borrowing capacity totaled $397.2 million, net of $2.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. Refer to Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2020 Form 10-K for details regarding Brunswick's Credit Facility and Note 15 – Subsequent Events for details regarding amendments to the Credit Facility.
Note 15 – Subsequent Events
On July 16, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Facility") with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company as subsidiary borrowers and lenders as parties, and JPMorgan as administrative agent. The Amended Credit Facility amends and restates the Credit Facility dated as of March 21, 2011, as amended and restated through November 12, 2019. The Amended Credit Facility increases the revolving commitments to $500.0 million, with the capacity to add up to $100.0 million of additional revolving commitments, and amends the Credit Facility in certain respects, including, among other things:
•Extending the maturity date to July 16, 2026, with up to two one-year extensions available.
•Modifying the applicable interest rate margin range such that the highest applicable interest rate margin is reduced from 1.90 percent per annum to 1.70 percent per annum.
•Increasing the net cash offset for purposes of determining the leverage ratio from $150.0 million to $350.0 million.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
•Modifying the leverage ratio maintenance covenant to allow for a 12-month increase of the maximum leverage ratio to 4.00 to 1.00 following the consummation of a Qualified Acquisition (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Facility).
•Including "hardwired" LIBOR transition provisions substantially consistent with those published by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee.
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 (we, us, our) are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our business and by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Actual results may differ materially from expectations and projections as of the date of this filing due to various risks and uncertainties. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements, refer to Forward-Looking Statements below.
Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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. For example, the discussion of our cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity; the discussion of our net sales includes net sales on a constant currency basis; the discussion of our earnings includes a presentation of operating earnings and operating margin excluding restructuring, exit and impairment charges, purchase accounting amortization, acquisition-related costs and other applicable charges and of diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.
We include non-GAAP financial measures in Management's Discussion and Analysis as management believes these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view our performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate our ongoing business performance. In order to better align our reported results with the internal metrics management uses 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 related to the Power Products and Freedom Boat Club acquisitions.
We do not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include restructuring, exit and impairment costs, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.
Impact of COVID-19
All global manufacturing and distribution facilities continue to focus on rigorously applying, evolving, and automating COVID-19 mitigation procedures, while continuing to ramp-up global production to meet unprecedented demand as consumers continue to take advantage of more flexible work schedules allowing for more leisure time. The strong demand environment for our products experienced during the second half of 2020 has continued into 2021. Despite elevated production levels consistent with our plan, the continued surge in retail demand combined with market share gains continue to drive historically low pipeline inventory levels with 50 percent fewer boats in dealer inventory at the end of the second quarter versus the same period last year.
We will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 and may take further actions that alter business operations as legally required or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, dealers, suppliers, and other stakeholders. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, operations, and financial results will depend on evolving factors that we cannot accurately predict. Refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2020 Form 10-K for further information.
Discontinued Operations
On June 27, 2019, we completed the sale of the Fitness business. This business, which was previously reported as our Fitness segment, is being reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Our 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 Condensed Financial Statements for further information.
Acquisitions
On June 23, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Navico for $1.05 billion. The Company intends to use a combination of debt and cash to fund the acquisition, which is expected to close during the second half of 2021 subject to usual and customary closing conditions as well as regulatory review and approval. Navico is a privately held global company based in Egersund, Norway, and is a global leader in marine electronics and sensors, including multi-function displays, fish finders, autopilots, sonar, radar, and cartography.
Overview
Net sales increased 57 percent during the second quarter of 2021 when compared with the second quarter of 2020, primarily attributable to outstanding operating performance across all segments together with strong global demand for marine products. In the Propulsion segment, we continue to gain significant retail market share in outboard engines, especially in higher horsepower categories where we have focused higher levels of investment in recent years. In the Parts and Accessories segment, aftermarket sales remained elevated due to strong participation trends and service needs and favorable weather conditions, and increased OEM orders resulting from accelerating retail demand. Boat segment sales also increased across all brands, when compared to the second quarter of 2020, due to the strong retail demand surge. Our international net sales increased 62 percent and 49 percent in the second quarter on a GAAP and constant currency basis, respectively, with growth in all regions.
Net sales increased 53 percent during the first half of 2021, when compared with the first half of 2020, due to the same factors described above. Our international net sales increased 57 percent and 46 percent in the first half on a GAAP and constant currency basis, respectively, with growth in all regions.
Operating earnings in the second quarter of 2021 were $250.2 million and $266.4 million on a GAAP and As Adjusted basis, respectively. This compares to operating earnings during the second quarter of 2020 of $107.0 million and $117.9 million on a GAAP and As Adjusted basis, respectively.
Operating earnings in the first half of 2021 were $482.1 million and $509.4 million on a GAAP and As Adjusted basis, respectively. This compares to operating earnings during the first half of 2020 of $210.2 million and $230.4 million on a GAAP and As Adjusted basis, respectively.
Matters Affecting Comparability
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 25 percent of our annual net sales are transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Our most material exposures include sales in Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and Chinese Yuan.
The table below summarizes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on our net sales:

Net sales increased 57 percent and 53 percent during the second quarter and first half of 2021, respectively, when compared with the same prior year period. Refer to the Propulsion, Parts and Accessories, and Boat segments for further details on the drivers of net sales changes.
Gross margin percentage increased 380 basis points in both the second quarter and first half of 2021 when compared with the same prior year period, with all segments benefiting from increased sales resulting from strong global demand, favorable factory absorption from increased production, and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) increased during the second quarter and second half of 2021 when compared with the same prior year period. Excluding certain one-time items presented above, SG&A as a percentage of sales was lower in the second quarter and first half of 2021 compared with the same prior year periods, reflecting the strong increase in net sales, partially offset by higher variable compensation costs and increased spending on sales and marketing and ACES/other growth initiatives. Research and development expense increased in 2021 versus 2020, reflecting continued investment in new products in all segments.
We recorded restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $0.2 million and $0.7 million during the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, and recorded $2.1 million and $2.5 million during the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively. Refer to Note 4 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
We recorded Equity earnings of $0.4 million and $1.2 million in the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively, which were mainly related to our marine and technology-related joint ventures. This compares with Equity earnings of $1.1 million and $2.9 million in the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively.
We recognized $(1.5) million and $(2.8) million in Other expense, net in the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, respectively. This compares with $(0.9) million and $(0.2) million recognized in Other expense, net in the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively. Other expense, net primarily includes other postretirement benefit costs and remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates.
Net interest expense decreased for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 when compared with the same prior year period due to reduction in average daily debt outstanding, which was influenced by the timing of debt retirements and debt issuances. Refer to Note 14 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2020 Form 10-K.
Income tax provision for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021 was $55.2 million and $102.6 million, respectively, compared to $17.6 million and $36.0 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively. The increase compared with the same prior year periods is primarily due to increased earnings before income taxes.
The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, for the three and six months ended July 3, 2021, was 23.5 percent and 22.7 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020 was 19.8 percent and 20.2 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 increased during the second quarter and first half of 2021 when compared with the same prior year periods.

2020 |
| Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations | $ | 350.5 | | | $ | 215.7 | |

| Plus: Effect of exchange rate changes | (0.5) | | | (2.4) | |
| | | |
Total free cash flow (A) | $ | 244.3 | | | $ | 124.2 | |
(A) We define "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) 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. We use this financial measure both in presenting our results to shareholders and the investment community and in our internal evaluation and management of our businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view our 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.
Our major sources of funds for capital investments, acquisitions, share repurchase programs and dividend payments are cash generated from operating activities, available cash and marketable securities balances, and potential borrowings. We evaluate potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.
2021 Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the first six months of 2021 totaled $350.5 million versus $215.7 million in the comparable period of 2020. The increase is primarily due to higher net earnings during the first half of 2021, partially offset by 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.
The primary drivers of net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in 2021 were net earnings, net of non-cash items, partially offset by the seasonal impact of increasing working capital. Accounts and notes receivable increased
$167.5 million primarily due to increased sales across all segments. Inventory increased $129.9 million, driven by increases to support higher production volumes. Accounts payable increased $129.8 million primarily due to timing of payments and higher inventory levels across all reportable segments. Accrued expenses increased $42.1 million primarily driven by increases in program-related volume discounts and rebates.
Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations was $75.6 million, which primarily included capital expenditures of $110.3 million, offset by sales of marketable securities of $55.9 million. Our capital spending was focused on investments in new products and technologies.
Net cash used for financing activities was $195.7 million and primarily related to payments of long-term debt including current maturities, common stock repurchases, and cash dividends paid to common shareholders. Refer to Note 14 –Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our debt activity during the quarter.
2020 Cash Flow
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the first six months of 2020 totaled $215.7 million. The primary driver of cash used for operating activities of continuing operations was favorable working capital usage, which was partially offset by net earnings net of non-cash expense items. During the first six months of 2020, Inventory decreased $146.2 million due to higher net sales in the period and production disruptions due to COVID-19. Accounts and notes receivable increased $129.6 million primarily due to the seasonal changes in net sales. Accounts payable decreased $49.6 million primarily due to timing of payments and lower production levels across all reportable segments due to temporary production suspensions in response to COVID-19. Accrued expenses decreased $6.3 million, primarily driven by the impact of payments of the prior year's variable compensation, which had been accrued as of December 31, 2019.
Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations was $90.2 million, which included capital expenditures of $90.7 million. The Company's capital spending was focused on investments in new products and expediting existing capital projects given the available free cash flow during the year.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $97.2 million and primarily related to net proceeds from short-term debt, which exceeded common stock repurchases and cash dividends paid to common shareholders. Refer to Note 16 - Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2020 Form 10-K, for further details on our 2020 debt activity.

(B) We define 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. We use this financial measure both in presenting our results to shareholders and the investment community and in our internal evaluation and management of our businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view our performance using the same metric that management uses to gauge progress in achieving our goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Total liquidity” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of our available highly liquid assets and immediate sources of financing.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $591.0 million as of July 3, 2021, an increase of $14.7 million from $576.3 million as of December 31, 2020, and an increase of $48.7 million from $542.3 million as of June 27, 2020. Total debt as of July 3, 2021, December 31, 2020 and June 27, 2020 was $875.5 million, $951.4 million and $1,285.7 million, respectively. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was 33.1 percent as of July 3, 2021, down from 38.7 percent as of December 31, 2020 and from 48.5 percent as of June 27, 2020.
We believe that we have adequate sources of liquidity to meet our short-term (for at least the next twelve months) and foreseeable long-term needs.
There was no borrowing activity under the Credit Facility during the first half of 2021, and we did not have any borrowings outstanding as of July 3, 2021. Available borrowing capacity totaled $397.2 million, net of $2.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the first half of 2021, there was no borrowing activity under our unsecured commercial paper program (CP Program), pursuant to which we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes. Refer to Note 14 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 16 - Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2020 Form 10-K, for further details.
The level of borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility and CP Program is limited by both a leverage and interest coverage test. These covenants also pertain to termination provisions included in our wholesale financing joint venture arrangements with Wells Fargo Distribution Finance. Based on our anticipated earnings generation throughout the year, we expect to maintain sufficient cushion against the existing debt covenants.
2021 Capital Strategy
In anticipation of the acquisition of Navico, we entered into a commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A on June 23, 2021, to obtain a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in an aggregate amount of principal not to exceed $900 million. Permanent financing for the acquisition is expected to include a mix of senior unsecured notes and cash on hand. Refer to Note 5 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
Aside from financing related to the acquisition of Navico, our capital strategy assumptions have not materially changed since last quarter. We have taken steps to strengthen our overall liquidity and shareholder return profile. In July, we extended and expanded our revolving credit agreement, which is now in effect through July 2026 and provides for $500 million of borrowing capacity, an increase of $100 million. Refer to Note 15 – Subsequent Events in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. On July 20, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a $350 million increase to our share repurchase authorization, and we now have over $400 million approved for repurchases, which we plan to systemically deploy consistent with our capital strategy, including between $80 million and $120 million of repurchases in 2021. These actions follow the increase of our dividend to 33.5 cents a share, a 24 percent dividend increase that was approved by the Board of Directors in April 2021, as we continue to balance increases in shareholder return and investment and growth initiatives.
We are planning for capital expenditures in the range of approximately $270 million to $300 million to support, and in some cases accelerate, growth initiatives throughout our organization. This spending will be directed to new product investments in all of our businesses, cost reduction and automation projects, and select additional capacity-related initiatives to support demand and future growth, primarily in the Propulsion business. Additionally, we plan to retire approximately $100 million of our long-term debt obligations.
Financing Joint Venture
On March 10, 2021, through our Brunswick Financial Services Corporation subsidiary, we entered into an amended and restated joint venture agreement with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance to extend the term of our financial services joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC), through December 31, 2025. The amendment did not otherwise materially change the terms of the agreement. BAC is detailed further in the 2020 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
Our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations as of December 31, 2020 are detailed in the 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these arrangements and obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2020.
Environmental Regulation
There were no material changes in our environmental regulatory requirements since the filing of our 2020 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies
There were no further material changes in our critical accounting policies since the filing of our 2020 Form 10-K.
As discussed in the 2020 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the three months ended July 3, 2021, or will be adopted in future periods, are included in Note 1 –Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. We enter into various hedging transactions to mitigate these risks in accordance with guidelines established by our management. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our risk management objectives are described in Note 6 –Financial Instruments in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2020 Form 10-K.
There have been no significant changes to our market risk since December 31, 2020. For a discussion of exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, set forth in the 2020 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), we have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Brunswick's operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of Brunswick’s common stock. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2020 Form 10-K other than as set forth below.
The inability to complete the Navico acquisition, or the failure to successfully integrate Navico, could negatively impact our business.
On June 23, 2021, Brunswick entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire Navico, which produces marine electronics and sensors. The closing of the transaction is subject to usual and customary closing conditions as well as regulatory review and approval. However, we cannot provide assurance regarding the timing and ultimate completion of the proposed acquisition, including the timing, receipt, and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals. In addition, there is a risk of the occurrence of an event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the proposed transaction, and the possibility that the proposed transaction does not close, including due to the failure to satisfy closing conditions.
Acquisitions pose risks, such as our ability to project and evaluate market demand; maximize potential synergies and cost savings; make accurate accounting estimates; and achieve anticipated business objectives. The Navico acquisition presents these and other integration risks, including:
•the risk that the businesses of Brunswick and Navico will not be integrated successfully;
•disruption from the proposed transaction could make it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships;
•the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation from the proposed transaction will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period; and
•the risk that unexpected costs will be incurred.
If the acquired business does not achieve projected results, our growth may be limited and our results adversely affected.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On July 20, 2021, our Board of Directors expanded our share repurchase authorization for an additional amount of $350 million, which was in addition to the prior authorization of $600 million from July 2019. Such repurchase authorizations do not have an expiration date. During the first six months of 2021, we repurchased approximately $55.9 million of our common stock and, including the increase effective July 20, 2021, the remaining authorization was $410.6 million.
We repurchased the following shares of common stock during the three months ended July 3, 2021:
