METTAWA, Ill., July 29, 2021 -- Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) today reported results for the second quarter of 2021:

"We delivered record results in the second quarter as a result of the continuing constructive demand environment, and our very strong operational performance and success in mitigating supply chain challenges and labor market tightness," said Brunswick Chief Executive Officer David Foulkes. "Robust retail demand for our products in the first-half of the year has driven field inventory levels to the lowest level in decades, and we are progressing our efforts to efficiently increase capacity across



most of our facilities to satisfy orders from our global customer base. The combination of strong demand and low inventory, together with continued strong boat usage through the prime boating season, which is driving high parts and accessories sales, provides enhanced visibility on our ability to deliver against our extremely favorable outlook for the remainder of 2021 and beyond.

Our propulsion business delivered another quarter of significant top-line, earnings, and margin growth, with strong market share gains in higher horsepower outboard engines, which will be further augmented by the recent release for sale of the V12 600 horsepower Verado that began shipping to customers in late June. Mercury Marine continues to leverage the strongest product lineup in the industry, the best customer experience, and operating excellence across its manufacturing facilities to drive success at retail and develop new OEM relationships. Given the surging demand in the current environment and new product launches in the coming years, Mercury is accelerating additional capacity investments at its primary manufacturing center in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin to maximize its ability to serve the market and continue to gain share.

Outstanding execution, robust aftermarket demand driven by elevated boating participation, and favorable weather conditions in many areas resulted in our parts and accessories businesses significantly over-driving expectations in the quarter. In addition, our Advanced Systems Group significantly bolstered its scale and product portfolio by announcing the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase Navico, which we believe will further strengthen our enterprise-wide ACES strategy and enhance our ability to provide complete, innovative digital solutions to consumers and comprehensive, integrated systems offerings to our OEM customers.

Our boat business posted its second consecutive quarter of double-digit adjusted operating margins despite significant supply chain uncertainty. We are delivering output consistent with our production plans for the year and the capacity initiatives announced in January remain on track; however, the stronger than expected retail demand drove second quarter pipeline inventory down to only 9 weeks on hand. Our Boat Group management team has developed a capital efficient investment plan to deliver an additional tranche of capacity by 2023 above previously announced expansion plans should this level of production be required to meet retail demand and refill the pipeline over a reasonable period. Finally, Freedom Boat Club continues to grow rapidly both organically and through acquisition, while continuing to attract a young and diverse customer base. Including the recent expansion into Spain through the acquisition of Fanautic Club, Freedom now has 314 global



locations, over 44,000 memberships network wide and this summer will have approximately 4,000 boats in its overall fleet, with an increasing percentage of Brunswick boats and engines," Foulkes concluded.

2021 Second Quarter Results

For the second quarter of 2021, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,554.8 million, up $567.0 million from the second quarter of 2020. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $2.29 on a GAAP basis and $2.52 on an as adjusted basis. Sales in each segment benefited from strong global demand for marine products, with earnings positively impacted by increased sales, favorable factory absorption from increased production, and favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher variable compensation costs and increased spending on sales and marketing and ACES / other growth initiatives. Additionally, versus the second quarter of 2020:
Propulsion segment reported a 64 percent increase in sales due to continued strong global demand for all product categories and continued market share gains.
Parts and Accessories segment reported a 42 percent increase in sales, with sales growth across all businesses in all geographic regions.

Boat segment reported an 80 percent increase in sales due to increased sales volumes to dealers to meet continued strong retail customer demand as well as strong operational performance. Freedom Boat Club, which is part of Business Acceleration, contributed approximately 3 percent of sales to the segment in the quarter. Increased sales volume and lower retail discount levels versus prior year drove higher segment operating earnings.

Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash and marketable securities totaled $600.7 million at the end of the second quarter, up $13.7 million from year-end 2020 levels. This change includes cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of the year of $350.5 million, which includes net earnings net of non-cash items, partially offset by the seasonal impact of increasing working capital.




Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash used of $271.3 million during the first-half of 2021 including $110.3 million of capital expenditures, $78.5 million of payments of long-term debt, $55.9 million of share repurchases, and $47.2 million of dividend payments, net of $55.9 million proceeds from the sale of marketable securities.

Capital Strategy

In July, we have taken several steps to strengthen our overall liquidity and shareholder return profile. 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. In addition, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase authorization earlier this month and now have over $400 million approved for repurchases, which we plan to systematically deploy consistent with our capital strategy. These moves follow the substantial 24 percent dividend increase approved in April as we continue to balance desired increases in shareholder return with investment in growth initiatives.

2021 Outlook

"2021 is shaping up to be another year of robust earnings and shareholder returns, with pronounced margin increases and substantial free cash flow generation resulting from our outstanding operating performance in a healthy marine market," said Foulkes. "Although we continue navigating certain headwinds, including elevated supply chain, labor, and transportation challenges, we are excited about our ability to further harness the positive momentum we have generated to propel our growth and industry leadership.

Given the enhanced clarity on our ability to drive growth in upcoming periods, we are providing the following updated guidance for full-year 2021. Without including the potential benefits from the announced acquisition of Navico, we anticipate:
1.U.S. marine industry retail unit demand to grow high-single digit percent versus 2020;
2.Net sales between $5.65 and $5.75 billion;
3.Adjusted operating margin growth between 150 and 180 basis points;
4.Operating expenses as a percent of sales to remain lower than 2020;



5.Free cash flow in excess of $450 million; and
6.Adjusted diluted EPS of approximately $8.00.
For the third quarter, we anticipate revenue growth versus third quarter 2020 of mid-teens percent, with EPS growth of high-single digit percent. Our guidance still assumes revenue and earnings growth in the second-half of the year versus second-half 2020 led by strong business performance, but second-half comparisons will likely be more challenging than first-half due to inflationary pressures including higher material and freight costs, unfavorable changes in sales mix, increased spending on R&D and other growth initiatives, smaller benefits from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and absorption, and a higher tariff impact.
Lastly, I want to once again offer heartfelt thanks to our global employee population for all their dedication, effort, and sacrifices during what is still a challenging time for many families and communities. Your hard work has enabled us to seamlessly execute our 2022 strategic plan, while at the same time preparing for the "Next Wave" of business evolution, products, technologies, unique experiences, and enterprise synergies which position us to deliver strong results for the remainder of 2021 and well beyond.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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

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

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