Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements
Brunswick's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the 2025 Form 10-K). These results include, in management's opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly Brunswick's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Due to the seasonality of Brunswick's businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.
The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The first quarter of fiscal year 2026 ended on April 4, 2026 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 ended on March 29, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Income Statement: In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires disclosures about significant expense categories, including but not limited to, inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

During 2025, Navico Group realigned its business unit structure to align product portfolios and management structure. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company changed the presentation of major product lines for the Navico Group segment to disaggregate the previous Navico Group product line into Electronic Solutions, Power Solutions, and Performance Solutions to conform to Navico Group's new organizational structure. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
As of December 31, 2025, $194.0 million of contract liabilities associated with extended warranties, deferred revenue and customer deposits were reported in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities, of which $21.2 million was recognized as revenue during the three months ended April 4, 2026. As of April 4, 2026, total contract liabilities were $206.3 million. The total amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of April 4, 2026 was $202.2 million for contracts greater than one year, which primarily relates to extended warranties. The Company expects to recognize $54.2 million of this amount in 2026, $54.3 million in 2027, and $93.7 million thereafter.
Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit, and Impairment Activities
During the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the Company recorded restructuring charges related to headcount reductions and related costs associated with streamlining the enterprise-wide cost structure and improving operating efficiencies. The Company also incurred charges related to the rationalization of its manufacturing footprint, including the decision in the third quarter of 2025 to rationalize our fiberglass boat manufacturing footprint and exit our facilities in Reynosa, Mexico and Flagler Beach, Florida and consolidate production from those facilities into existing U.S. facilities.

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 (the Company, 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; and the discussion of our earnings includes a presentation of operating earnings and operating margin excluding restructuring, exit and impairment charges, purchase accounting amortization, acquisition, integration, and IT related costs, supplier bankruptcy expenses and other applicable charges, and of diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. Supplier bankruptcy expenses include additional expenses incurred, in excess of normal inventory costs, to purchase inventory from a key supplier that filed for bankruptcy. 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 acquisitions, among other adjustments.
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.
Known Trends or Uncertainties
We continue to monitor macroeconomic trends and uncertainties such as recently implemented tariffs along with the potential for new or modified tariffs, and related impacts to consumers, any or all of which could have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were not authorized by the statute. The Company was previously subject to such tariffs under IEEPA. Because the process, timing, and amount of any IEEPA tariff recovery are uncertain, we have not recorded any benefit from a potential refund at this time.

Overview
Net sales increased 12.8% during the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025. This increase reflected improved wholesale and retail trends, continued market share gains in propulsion and several boat categories, strong OEM demand for propulsion, components and electronics, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, pricing actions commencing in the second half of 2025, and solid boating participation driving aftermarket performance. For the third consecutive quarter, year-over-year net sales increased across all segments. The Propulsion segment delivered significant sales growth resulting primarily from an improved market, strong OEM orders, wholesale acceleration, and continued global share gains. The Engine P&A segment benefited from healthy boater participation and continued distribution share gains, which led to sales improvement compared to the prior year. Navico Group reported sales growth over the prior year quarter as growth across all business lines was supported by improving OEM demand, steady aftermarket performance, and operational efficiency. Finally, the Boat segment sales grew over prior year driven by higher wholesale shipments and stabilized retail conditions, favorable mix, and continued momentum in the Business Acceleration portfolio. Freedom Boat Club added four new locations, increased trips and improved same store sales. Our international net sales increased 20 percent on a GAAP basis and increased 11 percent on a constant currency basis in the first quarter compared with the prior year.
Operating earnings in the first quarter of 2026 were $50.3 million and $82.6 million on a GAAP and as adjusted basis, respectively. This compares to operating earnings during the first quarter of 2025 of $56.3 million and $72.1 million on a GAAP and As Adjusted basis, respectively. Adjusted operating earnings increased due to increased sales, favorable mix, pricing, improved absorption and disciplined cost management more than offsetting the impact of incremental tariffs implemented after the first quarter of 2025.
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 the U.S. dollar 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 24 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 Brazilian real.
The table below summarizes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on our net sales:

Net sales increased 12.8% during the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same prior year period. The components of the consolidated net sales change were as follows:
| Percent change in net sales compared to the prior comparative period | |||||

| Volume | 6.6 | % | |||
| Product Mix and Price | 3.2 | % | |||
| Currency | 3.0 | % | |||
| 12.8 | % | ||||
Gross margin remained relatively consistent in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the same prior year period, driven by increased sales (380 bps) and favorable foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (60 bps) offset by impact of incremental tariffs (240 bps), labor costs (100 bps), and inflation (100 bps).
Selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales increased 60 basis points during the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same prior year period due to increased spending in support of growth and operational initiatives. Research and development expense increased in the first quarter of 2026 versus the same period in 2025 due to accelerated, strategic investments in new products.
We recorded Restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $4.8 million and $1.1 million during the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025 respectively. First quarter 2026 actions are not expected to result in material annualized cost savings. Refer to Note 3 –Restructuring, Exit, and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
We recorded Equity earnings of $1.6 million and $2.2 million in the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, which were primarily related to our marine and technology-related joint ventures.
We recognized $(1.6) million and $1.3 million of Other (expense) income, net in the three months ended April 4, 2026, and March 29, 2025, respectively. Other (expense) income, net primarily includes remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates and other post-retirement benefit costs.
Net interest expense decreased for the three months ended April 4, 2026 compared with the same prior year period. Refer to Note 10 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 14 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K.

We recognized an Income tax provision for the three months ended April 4, 2026 of $5.9 million compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the Income tax provision as a percentage of Earnings before income taxes, was 21.9% and 28.1% for the three months ended April 4, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.
Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, Net earnings from continuing operations and Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations increased during the three months ended April 4, 2026 compared with the same prior year period.

Propulsion segment's net sales increased in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by an improved market, global share gains, pricing, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and strong OEM demand heading into selling season.
The components of the Propulsion segment's net sales change were as follows:
| Percent change in net sales compared to the prior comparative period | |||||
| April 4, 2026 | |||||

International sales were 39 percent of the Propulsion segment's net sales in the first quarter of 2026 and increased 20 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international sales increased 10 percent.
Propulsion segment's operating earnings in the first quarter of 2026 decreased when compared to the first quarter of 2025 due to planned accelerated investments in new product development and incremental tariffs partially offset by benefits of higher sales and improved absorption.

Total free cash flow (A) | $ | (116.8) | $ | (44.4) | |||||||
(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, 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. 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. We believe 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 we use to gauge progress in achieving our goals. We believe 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, divestitures and borrowings. We evaluate potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.
2026 Cash Flow
Net cash used for operating activities of continuing operations in the three months ended April 4, 2026 totaled $63.7 million compared to $13.4 million in the three months ended March 29, 2025. The increase is primarily due to operating results and changes 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 and notes receivable increased $118.7 million, due to timing of collections, Accounts payable increased $96.3 million, due to timing of payments, inventory increased $81.8 million due to increased production, and Accrued expenses decreased $44.4 million, due to payment of approximately $80.0 million of the prior year's variable compensation expense which had been accrued as of December 31, 2025.
Net cash used for investing activities was $55.2 million and primarily related to $57.2 million of capital expenditures. Our capital spending was focused on investments in new products and technologies.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $133.5 million and primarily related to proceeds from issuance of short-term debt, partially offset by dividends paid to common shareholders and common stock repurchases.

(A) See Note 10 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our lending facility.
(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 our 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. We believe 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 we use to gauge progress in achieving our goals. We believe 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 $278.6 million as of April 4, 2026, an increase of $21.0 million from $257.6 million as of December 31, 2025, and a decrease of $8.9 million from $287.5 million as of March 29, 2025. Total debt as of April 4, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 29, 2025 was $2,296.4 million, $2,102.2 million and $2,484.1 million, respectively. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio was approximately 59 percent as of April 4, 2026 compared to 56 percent as of December 31, 2025 and 57 percent as of March 29, 2025.
There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement (Credit Facility) during the three months ended April 4, 2026 and we did not have any borrowings outstanding as of April 4, 2026. Available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility as of April 4, 2026 totaled $984.0 million, net of $16.0 million of letters of credit outstanding. During the three months ended April 4, 2026, the maximum amount utilized under the CP Program was $540.0 million, and as of April 4, 2026, the Company had $485.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the CP Program. Refer to Note 10 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 14 - Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2025 Form 10-K, for further details.
The levels of borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility and CP Program are 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 Commercial Distribution Finance. As of April 4, 2026, Brunswick was in compliance with the financial covenants associated with its debt and based on our anticipated earnings generation throughout the year, we expect to maintain sufficient cushion against the existing debt covenants.
2026 Capital Strategy
The Company anticipates approximately $160 million of debt reduction, $200 million of capital expenditures, and share repurchases of at least $50 million for the year.
