"Our 2019 performance demonstrated the strength and resilience of our marine-focused portfolio. We expanded gross and operating margins and delivered a tenth consecutive year of adjusted EPS growth, despite a weaker than anticipated marine market in the first-half of the year," said Brunswick Chief Executive Officer David Foulkes. "The transformational changes we made to our business in 2019 reinforced our position as the market leader in the marine industry and set us up for further margin expansion and revenue growth in 2020 and beyond.

"Mercury's recent new product introductions continued to provide sales mix benefits in the fourth quarter due to increasing demand for higher horsepower engines. The recently completed manufacturing capacity expansion for these engines strengthened our capability to serve this growing segment of the market and access higher-margin dealer and international sales channels. Retail boat trends continued to stabilize in the second-half of the year and we executed disciplined pipeline reduction actions in the fourth quarter as planned, meeting our target of essentially flat weeks on hand versus 2018. Our debut at CES earlier this month, including the launch of the new Sea Ray SLX-R 400e with our proprietary FATHOM e-power technology, developed jointly by our Advanced Systems Group, Boat Group Technology Center and iJet Lab teams, provided a tremendous start to 2020 and illustrated our focus and commitment to using technology across our portfolio to enhance the overall boating experience," Foulkes continued.

"Finally, as anticipated, we completed the remainder of our $400 million share repurchase commitment during the quarter while Freedom Boat Club celebrated the opening of its



200th location, on the way to its current total of 210 locations. This business continues to produce strong results, exhibiting growth characteristics and synergy opportunities that give us great confidence in its future potential," Foulkes concluded.

Discontinued Operations

On June 27, 2019, Brunswick completed the sale of its Fitness business. Starting with the second quarter of 2019, the historical and future results of this business are reported as discontinued operations. Therefore, for all periods presented in this release, all figures and outlook statements incorporate this change and reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.

2019 Full-Year Results

For the year ended Dec. 31, 2019, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $4,108.4 million, down from $4,120.9 million in 2018. 2018 net sales included $49.4 million of sales related to Sport Yacht and Yachts, which have been excluded from as adjusted reporting. Diluted EPS in 2019 was $0.36 on a GAAP basis and $4.33 on an as adjusted basis.

Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash and marketable securities totaled $332.7 million at the end of 2019, up $28.5 million from year-end 2018 levels. The increase includes net cash provided by operating activities during the year of $475.3 million, which was higher than 2018 by $200.8 million primarily as a result of lower pension contributions and higher earnings net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by more unfavorable changes in working capital between years. Cash flow from discontinued operations of $440.6 million primarily relates to net proceeds received from the sale of the Fitness business.

Investing and financing activities resulted in a net cash usage of $887.8 million during 2019, and included $400.0 million of share repurchases, $232.6 million of capital



expenditures, $117.4 million of net outflows from retirements and issuances of debt, $73.4 million of dividend payments and $64.1 million related to an acquisition.

The Marine Engine segment, which manufactures and distributes marine propulsion systems and related parts and accessories, reported a slight sales decrease in the quarter as continued strong demand for higher horsepower outboard engine categories and solid growth at Power Products was offset by forecasted reductions in outboard engines 150 horsepower and below, as well as lower sales of sterndrive engines. Operating earnings comparisons were affected by lower purchase accounting amortization and acquisition-related costs in both periods. Excluding these factors, earnings were down slightly as comparisons were unfavorably influenced by the impact of a tariff exemption received in December 2018, along with unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacts. These factors were partially mitigated by a more favorable sales mix and cost reduction actions.

The Boat segment, which manufactures and distributes recreational boats, and includes Business Acceleration operations, including Freedom Boat Club, reported a decline in sales primarily due to continued planned reductions in wholesale unit shipments to right-size the pipeline, particularly in aluminum and saltwater fish categories. Freedom Boat Club contributed approximately 2 percent of sales improvement in the quarter. Operating earnings comparisons reflect reduced losses associated with the exit from the Sport Yacht and Yacht business. Excluding this factor, operating earnings were lower as continued benefits from cost control measures were exceeded by the impact of lower volume and production rates required to bring pipelines to healthy levels by year-end.

2020 Outlook

"The strategic portfolio actions and cost reduction efforts we completed throughout 2019, along with our diligent management of pipeline inventory levels during the second-half of the year, continued focus on high horsepower engine categories, strong pipeline of new products and successful execution of our capital strategy, position us to deliver strong growth and operating performance in 2020," said Foulkes.

"For 2020, we project U.S. marine industry retail unit demand for the year to be flat to slightly up versus 2019. With this retail performance, wholesale shipments are expected to be higher as a result of the 7 percent unit pipeline reductions achieved in 2019. We



anticipate continued growth and share gains in higher horsepower engine categories bolstered by our completed capacity expansion efforts. Boat segment sales in 2020 will also benefit from significant new product introductions as well as our continued focus on product with more technology features and content. Our propulsion and boat businesses in 2020 will experience more challenging wholesale revenue comparisons early in the year, with more favorable comparisons in the second-half, as a result of the timing of wholesale activity in 2019, including the impact of second-half pipeline reductions. The parts and accessories business should benefit from more normal seasonal conditions for boating activity.

"2020 earnings will benefit from the planned sales increases and continued margin growth resulting from improved operating efficiency. However, as a result of the expiration and non-renewal of our Wave 1 tariff exemption related to 40 to 60 horsepower engines assembled in China, we now anticipate the full impact of tariffs on our 2020 pre-tax earnings to be between $30 to $35 million, or an incremental $10 to $15 million over 2019. In addition, we expect foreign currency exchange rates to negatively impact 2020 earnings growth by one to two percent.

"Based upon the factors above, and absent significant changes in the global macro-economic climate, our guidance range for 2020 adjusted diluted EPS is $5.10 to $5.40, which would be outstanding performance that should drive significant value for our shareholders.

Also, as discussed in the Form 8-K filed today, we will be changing our segment reporting beginning in the first quarter of 2020, including establishing a parts and accessories segment. As a result, our business will be comprised of three reporting segments as shown below with our 2020 guidance, with select historical information reflecting the new segment reporting also found in today's Form 8-K," 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 and Freedom Boat Club acquisitions.

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.
