"As anticipated, our marine business delivered strong results in the first quarter," said Brunswick Chief Executive Officer David Foulkes. "These results reflect the continued successful execution of our marine strategy, focusing on product and technology leadership, growth initiatives, and operational excellence.

"Our Marine Engine segment continued to post strong top-line growth, led by benefits from the Power Products acquisition and healthy demand for recently introduced higher horsepower outboard products.  These sales gains, along with impressive operating leverage and margin accretion, led to robust earnings growth in this segment. The boat business reported modest sales growth led by gains in premium offerings, including Sea Ray Sport Boats and Cruisers, while earnings declined slightly. Finally, our Fitness business made significant progress toward separation, and reported top-line and margin results mostly consistent with our expectations for the quarter.

"After a slower than expected start to the marine selling season, due in part to more challenging weather conditions in much of the U.S., we believe that global unit market demand for the year will reflect modest growth. As a result, we will continue to execute against our plans and our overall marine strategy and believe that 2019 will be another year of solid earnings growth further enhancing shareholder value," Foulkes continued.
 
Marine Business Definition

With the pending separation of the Fitness business, we are again providing additional results, commentary, and guidance for the Company exclusive of the Fitness segment results. This presentation provides increased visibility into the performance and expectations of the marine operations and will minimize adjustments to guidance when the separation is complete. Therefore, when used, the term "marine business" means the consolidated Brunswick enterprise, excluding the impact or results of the Fitness segment as though it were reported as a discontinued operation.



2019 First Quarter Results

For the first quarter of 2019, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,275.9 million, up from $1,211.4 million a year earlier, with $15.1 million of sales related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations in the first quarter of 2018. As a reminder, these operations were wound down in the third quarter of 2018.

Diluted EPS for the quarter was $(0.42) on a GAAP basis versus $0.99 on an as adjusted basis. Comparative first quarter earnings results, including reconciliations of GAAP to as adjusted amounts, are shown below:

Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash and marketable securities totaled $171.4 million at the end of the first quarter, down $132.8 million from year-end 2018 levels. This reflects seasonal reductions resulting from cash used by operating activities during the first three months of the year of $79.4 million, which increased by $12.3 million versus the prior year, primarily as a result of a tax refund received in the first quarter of 2018.

In addition, investing and financing activities resulted in a net cash usage of $53.7 million during the first quarter, which lowered cash and marketable securities balances. Investing and financing activities during the year-to-date period included



$88.1 million of capital expenditures, $63.0 million of net proceeds from issuances and retirements of debt, and $18.3 million of dividend payments.

Marine Engine Segment

The Marine Engine segment, which manufactures and distributes marine propulsion systems and related parts and accessories, reported net sales of $766.0 million in the first quarter of 2019, up 11.5 percent from $687.1 million in the first quarter of 2018. The Power Products acquisition contributed approximately 8 percent to the growth rate in the quarter. International sales, which represented 32 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, were up 15 percent compared to the prior year period. For the quarter, the Marine Engine segment reported operating earnings of $112.9 million, which included $7.2 million of purchase accounting amortization related to the Power Products acquisition. This compares with $95.7 million of operating earnings in the first quarter of 2018.

The addition of Power Products and strong gains in outboard engines drove sales increases in the quarter. Operating earnings growth was positively affected by these sales increases, as well as by favorable impacts from changes in sales mix.

Boat Segment

The Boat segment, which manufactures and distributes recreational boats, reported net sales of $373.3 million for the first quarter of 2019, a decrease from $376.5 million in the first quarter of 2018. Net sales in the first quarter of 2018 included $15.1 million of Sport Yacht and Yacht sales. International sales, which represented 27 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, decreased by 2 percent compared to the prior year. For the first quarter of 2019, the Boat segment reported operating earnings of $22.0 million, which included $2.0 million of restructuring, exit, integration, and impairment charges. This compares to operating earnings of $14.4 million in the first quarter of 2018 which included $8.1 million of Sport Yacht and Yacht operating losses and $2.6 million of restructuring, exit, integration, and impairment charges.




Sales and operating earnings comparisons were both affected by the absence of activity related to the Sport Yacht and Yacht business. Excluding this factor, sales increased, including benefits from strong gains in premium categories. Despite positive mix benefits, operating earnings declined as margins were temporarily influenced by less favorable plant efficiencies at certain of its boat facilities, due in part to new product integrations and related complexities. In addition, the boat business had elevated spending on profit improvement initiatives in the quarter.

Fitness Segment

The Fitness segment, which manufactures and distributes cardiovascular and strength fitness equipment and active recreation products, reported net sales in the first quarter of 2019 of $225.2 million, a decrease from $244.4 million in the first quarter of 2018. International sales, which represented 49 percent of total segment sales in the quarter, decreased 10 percent when compared to the first quarter of 2018. For the quarter, the Fitness segment reported operating losses of $139.1 million, which included $138.3 million of restructuring, exit, integration, and impairment charges, mostly related to an impairment of goodwill resulting from a re-evaluation of the fair value of the Fitness reporting unit, which was informed by significant progress made on the sale process, and $1.7 million of separation costs. This compares with operating earnings of $11.0 million in the first quarter of 2018, which included $1.2 million of restructuring, exit, integration, and impairment charges.

As anticipated, the Fitness segment's revenue comparisons reflected lower sales to value-oriented health clubs, along with softness in certain international markets. The decline in operating earnings resulted from the goodwill impairment, costs related to investments in product and systems ahead of the separation, other cost inflation and inefficiencies, and lower sales.




2019 Outlook

"Our outlook for 2019 remains consistent with our existing three-year strategic plan, with top-line growth and strong operating leverage generating solid returns for our shareholders," said Foulkes.

"Our full-year guidance for the combined marine business remains relatively unchanged. Absent significant changes in the macro-economic climate and the marine market, we anticipate overall revenue growth rates in the range of 8 to 10 percent which, while slightly lower than the previous estimate, still represents strong top-line growth for the year. Operating expenses are estimated to be lower than 2018 on a percentage of sales basis as we continue to fund investments in growth while driving improved cost efficiencies. We believe that these factors, together with ongoing benefits from new products and acquisitions, will enable strong leverage and margin growth, and allow us to achieve our initial operating earnings growth guidance for the marine business of high-teens percent for the year.

"Our expectations for the Fitness business remain unchanged. For the year, we anticipate net sales to decline mid-single digit percent from 2018 levels, reflecting lower sales to value-oriented health clubs and stable market demand. We expect gross margin levels to remain consistent with 2018 levels, with operating margins declining due to increased spending in advance of the separation. Finally, we expect the profitability of the business in the second quarter to look similar to the first quarter results, with a significant majority of the 2019 earnings anticipated in the back half of the year.

"Given the factors discussed above, our guidance for 2019 as adjusted diluted EPS, excluding the Fitness business, remains in the range of $4.50 to $4.70. Inclusive of the estimated full-year results of the Fitness business, our guidance for 2019 as adjusted diluted EPS remains in the range of $4.80 to $5.05," Foulkes concluded.




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 acquisition.

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 pension settlement charges, restructuring, exit, integration, and impairment costs, special tax items, costs related to the planned Fitness business separation, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.
