BRUNSWICK REPORTS LOSS FOR THIRD QUARTER,
CITES PRODUCTION CUTS, WRITE-DOWNS, RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

LAKE FOREST, Ill., Oct. 23, 2008 – Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) reported today results for the third quarter of 2008, which include the following:
 
     
●
 A net loss of $591.4 million, or $6.70 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2008, which includes $4.31 per diluted share of non-cash goodwill and trade name impairment charges, $0.28 per diluted share of restructuring charges and $1.78 per diluted share of non-cash charges for special tax items.
     
 
●
Total sales for the quarter down 22 percent versus a year ago to approximately $1.0 billion, driven by a 28 percent drop in marine sales.
     
 
●
 Fitness segment sales up 8 percent in the quarter on strong demand for commercial product.
     
 
●
 Cash on hand of $342.9 million at quarter's end.

 “The marine market in the United States is becoming increasingly challenging due to difficult economic conditions, financial market upheaval and tightening credit availability, on top of the continuing weak housing market,” said Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dustan E. McCoy.  “According to preliminary industry statistics in the United States, retail demand for boats in our key fiberglass segments dropped nearly 40 percent in the third quarter versus a year ago, and a slowdown in demand has spread to regions outside of the United States.  Given this environment, limiting our loss from operations to $0.33 per diluted share before charges and ending the quarter with a significant cash balance is commendable and reflects the hard work of individuals across the entire Brunswick organization.  Our cost reduction activities are taking hold and a relentless focus on managing the balance sheet is evident in our results.”

Third Quarter Results
 
For the quarter ended Sept. 27, 2008, net sales decreased to $1,038.8 million, down 22 percent from $1,326.2 million a year earlier.  The company had an operating loss of $566.3 million for the third quarter of 2008.  As previously announced, the company concluded that a significant portion of its goodwill and trade names was impaired, as prescribed by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  Accordingly, the company recorded $374.0 million of goodwill and $121.1 million of trade name impairment charges, associated primarily with certain boat brands, in the third quarter of 2008.  Both of these are non-cash charges.  The operating loss in the third quarter also includes $39.1 million of restructuring charges.  In the third quarter of 2007, the company had an operating loss of $46.3 million, which included $66.4 million of trade name impairments and $4.7 million of restructuring charges.
For the third quarter of 2008, the company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $591.4 million, or $6.70 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss of $23.7 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2007.  Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2008 include goodwill and trade name impairment charges of $4.31 per diluted share, restructuring charges of $0.28 per diluted share, and a $1.78 per diluted share charge for special tax items, primarily related to the establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance resulting from the cumulative losses reported by the company.  Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2007, included $0.47 and $0.03 per diluted share of trade name impairment and restructuring charges, respectively, as well as $0.04 per diluted share benefit from special tax items.
 
 
 
 

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 third quarter of 2008 of $392.5 million, down 36 percent from $613.9 million in the third quarter of 2007.  For the quarter, the segment had an operating loss of $537.4 million, including goodwill and trade name impairment charges of $477.0 million and restructuring charges of $15.8 million.  This compares with an operating loss of $90.3 million, including $66.4 million of trade name impairment charges and $4.1 million of restructuring charges in the third quarter of 2007.
“During the quarter, we continued to decrease production throughout our marine operations in an effort to reduce the number of boats held by our dealers,” McCoy explained.  “This included a month-long furlough, during which we halted production at virtually all of our U.S. fiberglass boat manufacturing plants.  While this was the right thing to do, it resulted in sales for our major fiberglass brands being down 50 percent in the quarter.  Reduced fixed-cost absorption on lower sales adversely affected operating earnings.
“While we reduced the number of fiberglass boats held by our dealers by 1,400 during the third quarter, there remain 36 weeks of supply of fiberglass boats in the pipeline, down one week from the end of June 2008, but up nine weeks compared with the end of September last year,” McCoy said.  “As announced earlier this month, we will begin closing or furloughing seven fiberglass boat plants in the fourth quarter to continue to address the pipeline inventory situation.”

Marine Engine Segment
 
The Marine Engine segment, consisting of the Mercury Marine Group, reported net sales of $448.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, down 21 percent from $566.7 million in the year-ago quarter.  For the third quarter of 2008, the segment had an operating loss of $8.6 million, which includes $4.5 million of trade name impairments and $12.9 million of restructuring charges.  This compares with operating earnings of $47.5 million in the same period of 2007, including $0.6 million of restructuring charges.
“Sales were down in all business units in the Marine Engine segment in the quarter, most notably sales of sterndrive and outboard engines in the United States, which were down 39 percent,” McCoy said.  “Consistent with actions taken in the Boat Group, Mercury also cut production rates and instituted plant furloughs.  Reduced fixed-cost absorption on lower sales had an adverse effect on operating earnings.”

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 8 percent in the quarter to $161.6 million, up from $150.2 million in the year-ago quarter.  Operating earnings for the quarter totaled $10.3 million, down from $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2007, and operating margins were 6.4 percent versus 7.9 percent a year ago.  The Fitness segment recorded $0.8 million in restructuring charges during the third quarter of 2008.
 “Commercial equipment sales, which account for about 90 percent of Life Fitness’ business, were strong in all regions during the third quarter.  This helped offset the drop in sales of consumer products in the United States,” McCoy said.  “Operating earnings were down during the quarter, reflecting higher material prices and increased freight costs due to fuel surcharges from suppliers.  These higher costs were partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses, as Life Fitness continues efforts to focus on reducing costs and improving productivity.”

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 third quarter of 2008 totaled $111.1 million, down 3 percent compared with $114.6 million in the year-ago quarter.  For the third quarter, the segment had an operating loss of $10.4 million, which includes $13.6 million of goodwill and trade name impairments, and $1.8 million of restructuring charges.  This compares with an operating loss of $0.2 million in the year-ago period.
  “For the quarter, sales declines were most prevalent within our billiards operation, where consumers continue to defer purchases of discretionary products.  Further, the industry is facing an overall decline in the coin-operated pool table market,” McCoy explained.  “In an effort to address these concerns, we have implemented several cost-cutting and staff reduction moves in our bowling and billiards operations.
“For the quarter, bowling retail sales were down in the low-single digits, in part because there were fewer centers in operation versus a year ago, as six older centers were closed when their leases expired during the second quarter of 2008.  However, revenues from a growing number of Brunswick Zone XLs helped to mitigate the effect of this reduction,” McCoy added.  “Bowling capital equipment sales were up in the mid-teens for the quarter, benefiting from new center and modernization activity both within and outside of the United States.”

 
Nine-Month Results
 
For the nine months ended Sept. 27, 2008, the company had net sales of $3,871.0 million, down 9 percent from $4,235.2 million for the first nine months of 2007.  The company had an operating loss of $573.2 million for the first three quarters of 2008, including $511.1 million of non-cash goodwill and trade name impairment charges and $128.4 million of restructuring charges.  This compares with operating earnings of $93.0 million for the corresponding period in 2007, which included $66.4 million of trade name impairment charges and $13.4 million of restructuring charges.
For the first nine months of 2008, the company had a net loss from continuing operations of $584.1 million, or $6.62 per diluted share, which includes $4.43 per diluted share of goodwill and trade name impairment charges, $0.90 per diluted share of restructuring charges, an $0.11 per diluted share gain on an investment sale, and a $1.76 per diluted share charge for special tax items, primarily related to the establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance.  This compares with net earnings from continuing operations of $67.5 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the same period in 2007, which included $0.46 per diluted share of trade name impairment charges, $0.09 per diluted share of restructuring charges, and a $0.06 per diluted share benefit from special tax items.
