BRUNSWICK REPORTS LOSS OF $0.07 PER DILUTED SHARE,

INCLUDING $0.59 OF RESTRUCTURING CHARGES, FOR SECOND QUARTER

LAKE FOREST, Ill., July 24, 2008 – Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) reported today a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008, compared with net earnings of $56.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, from continuing operations for the same period a year ago. The second quarters of 2008 and 2007 include restructuring charges of $83.1 million, or $0.59 cents per diluted share, and $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, respectively. The 2008 charges are primarily for costs associated with previously announced actions aimed at resizing the company and reducing fixed costs by $300 million versus 2007 spending levels by the end of 2009.

“We commend our employees for the strong results that were achieved in the quarter during difficult economic conditions,” explained Dustan E. McCoy, Brunswick chairman and chief executive officer. “We believe these results underscore the inherent strengths of our brands, market position and operating and financial management expertise. They further reflect our employees’ ability to efficiently operate the business while making progress against restructuring and strategic initiatives designed to benefit Brunswick, our dealers and our shareholders over the long-term.”

Second Quarter Results

For the quarter ended June 28, 2008, net sales decreased to $1,485.4 million, down 2 percent from $1,522.9 million a year earlier. “Increased sales of commercial fitness equipment, bowling products and from our retail bowling centers, as well as 19 percent growth in non-U.S. sales, helped offset the decline in sales of marine products in the United States,” McCoy explained.

The company had an operating loss of $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2008, which includes the previously mentioned $83.1 million of restructuring charges, compared with operating earnings of $86.3 million in the year-ago quarter, including the $1.1 million of restructuring charges. The charges in both years were primarily for asset impairments, severance costs and plant shutdown expenses.

For the quarter, the company reported a net loss of $6.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, down from net earnings of $56.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2007. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2008 include restructuring charges of $0.59 per diluted share, as well as tax benefits and a gain on an investment sale totaling $0.04 per diluted share. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2007 include $0.01 per diluted share of restructuring charges.

“The company continues to generate positive free cash flow, which provides us with significant liquidity and financial flexibility. At quarter end, we had $393 million of cash, up from $267 million at the end of the last quarter,” McCoy said.

Boat Segment

The Brunswick Boat Group comprises the Boat segment and produces fiberglass and aluminum boats and marine parts and accessories, as well as offers dealer management systems. The Boat segment had net sales for the second quarter of 2008 of $687.9 million, down 6 percent from $732.8 million in the second quarter of 2007. For the quarter, the segment had an operating loss of $37.7 million, including restructuring charges of $38.2 million, versus operating earnings of $19.3 million, including $1.0 million of restructuring charges, reported in the second quarter of 2007.

“Sales outside of the United States for the segment were up 35 percent in the quarter, which helped offset the effect of both lower unit volume and exiting certain saltwater and high-performance brands,” McCoy said. “Sales also benefited from a shift in product mix, higher prices and contributions from Boston Whaler, Hatteras Yachts and several outboard boat brands. Meanwhile, overall operating earnings for the Boat Group were adversely affected by the restructuring charges, in addition to the effect of reduced fixed-cost absorption on lower production volume.”

During the quarter, McCoy noted, Brunswick boat brands continued to solidify their positions in the market, introducing scores of new or updated models and features, including the new SC47, Sealine’s new flagship sport convertible yacht, at Europe’s Southampton and Genoa boat shows. The SC47 is among the first new models emanating from Brunswick’s platform design initiative, aimed at sharing common below-deck features and equipment, while still providing attractive, market-relevant styling. Also recently, Sea Ray’s popular 205 Sport was selected a ‘best buy’ by Consumers Digest, and a dozen Brunswick boat brands were cited as winners of the annual Customer Satisfaction Index industrywide rating by the National Marine Manufacturers Association.

Marine Engine Segment

The Marine Engine segment, consisting of the Mercury Marine Group, reported net sales of $643.5 million in the second quarter of 2008, down 4 percent from $669.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating earnings in the second quarter decreased to $54.4 million versus $80.3 million, and operating margins declined to 8.5 percent from 12.0 percent for the same quarter in 2007.

“The segment benefited from growth in non-U.S. sales, which were up 10 percent in the quarter, helping to offset the decline in domestic outboard and sterndrive sales,” McCoy said. “As in the Boat segment, reduced fixed-cost absorption on lower production, primarily of sterndrive engines, affected operating earnings for the Marine Engine segment.” The segment recorded $17.0 million of restructuring charges in the quarter.

McCoy added that Mercury’s new Zeus and Axius propulsion systems continue to gain momentum among boat builders. Further, Mercury was the only engine manufacturer to have three models – the Verado 175 hp, the 15 hp BigFoot, and the 75 hp OptiMax – cited as a ‘best buy’ by Consumers Digest.

Fitness Segment

The Fitness segment is comprised of the Life Fitness Division, which manufactures and sells Life Fitness, Hammer Strength and ParaBody fitness equipment. Fitness segment sales increased 9 percent in the quarter to $156.9 million, up from $144.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Operating earnings for the quarter totaled $8.2 million, up from $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2007, and operating margins were 5.2 percent versus 5.1 percent a year ago.

“Sales of commercial equipment were up double digits worldwide, as Life Fitness continued to benefit from a number of new products introduced since the beginning of the year,” McCoy explained. “The strength in commercial equipment helped to offset a decline in the segment’s consumer business. Operating earnings, which included $1.3 million in restructuring charges, improved slightly as efforts to trim costs and improve productivity continued to show results.”

McCoy also noted that Life Fitness continues to set the pace in style and innovation in fitness equipment as it received three awards in appliance DESIGN magazine's 21st annual excellence in design competition. Products from the company's Elevation™ Series, as well as a new elliptical cross-trainer for the home, were recognized for their innovative design.

Bowling & Billiards Segment

The Bowling & Billiards segment is comprised of the Brunswick retail bowling centers; bowling equipment and products; and billiards, Air Hockey and foosball tables. Segment sales in the second quarter of 2008 totaled $110.4 million, up 7 percent compared with $103.2 million in the year-ago quarter. For the second quarter, the segment had an operating loss of $19.8 million, which included $19.8 million in restructuring charges, versus an operating loss of $2.7 million in the year-ago period.

“For the quarter, bowling retail sales were up in the high-single digits, mostly attributable to Brunswick Zone XL centers opened in 2007 and 2008,” McCoy said. “We are also benefiting from higher capital equipment sales, which contributed to the double-digit increase in bowling product sales, as well as continued improvement at our Reynosa, Mexico, bowling ball manufacturing plant. Billiards sales were under pressure both from the ongoing slump in new housing starts as well as changing dynamics in the market for coin-operated pool tables.” The operating loss in the second quarter of 2008 was primarily due to restructuring charges for asset impairment and other costs associated with the Valley-Dynamo coin-operated pool table operation.

Two additional Zone XL locations began operations this year, and McCoy pointed out that Brunswick Billiards continued to broaden its product line-up by teaming up with Berkline Furniture to create brand-exclusive home theater seating, providing Brunswick with another avenue into the home entertainment category.

Six-Month Results

For the six months ended June 28, 2008, the company had net sales of $2,832.2 million, down 3 percent from $2,909.0 million for the first half of 2007. The company had an operating loss of $6.9 million for the first half of 2008, including $105.3 million of restructuring charges, compared with operating earnings of $139.3 million for the corresponding period in 2007, which includes $8.7 million of restructuring charges. Net earnings from continuing operations for the first six months of 2008 were $7.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, down from $91.2 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, for the same period in 2007. Results for the first six months of 2008 included $0.74 per diluted share of restructuring charges, an $0.11 per diluted share gain on an investment sale, and $0.02 per diluted share of tax benefits. Results for the year-ago six month period include $0.06 per diluted share of restructuring charges and $0.02 per diluted share of tax benefits.

Looking Ahead

“In addition to our continuing emphasis on introducing new and innovative products across all of our business units, our priorities for the remainder of 2008 are: (1) continuing to lower production levels to achieve reductions in pipeline inventories held by our marine dealers, (2) reducing spending across the company, and (3) implementing the company’s resizing and fixed-cost reduction initiatives announced last month,” McCoy said. “As we stated in June, most of our fiberglass boat plants will be shut down for one month during the third quarter. We have also reduced our capital expenditure budget for this year and halted all discretionary spending. Finally, progress continues on our strategic initiatives. While we have not provided specific earnings estimates, the magnitude of the scheduled production cuts will result in a loss for the second half of this year. Nevertheless, given what we know today, we expect to report positive earnings for the full year, excluding restructuring charges. What we are unable to predict is whether a change in market conditions would necessitate additional production cuts, or the possibility of further write-downs of goodwill or other intangibles. Heading into the second half, our cash position remains strong, and we are already close to reaching our year-end target of $400 million, which provides us with significant liquidity and financial flexibility.”
