"As we report our first quarter earnings, we must first recognize the immense impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our employees, business partners, and the communities in which we operate," said Brunswick Chief Executive Officer David Foulkes. "Brunswick and our employees have responded in many ways, including producing

equipment used by first responders, donating PPE to local hospitals, and supporting charitable organizations. I could not be more proud of our employees around the world and want to thank them and their families for all their hard work, sacrifice, and giving during this challenging time.

Our first quarter performance demonstrated the robustness of our marine-focused portfolio despite the unprecedented disruption to the global economy resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the latter part of the quarter. Despite the substantial near-term challenges facing our businesses, we remain confident in our overall strategic plan, industry leading technologies, market leading brands, and in the health and resilience of the marine consumer. We believe our strong aftermarket businesses, highly variable cost structure, strong cost discipline and operating capabilities, and adaptable capital strategy, position us to generate earnings and cash flow throughout the remainder of 2020.

Prior to the progression of global shutdowns that began in March, our businesses were performing in line with expectations, with sales and earnings consistent with our plan provided at the beginning of the year. The U.S. retail marine market exhibited strong demand trends, Mercury had another strong showing at the Miami International Boat Show and continued to gain significant share in outboard propulsion, and our parts and accessories businesses remained steady, with outperformance at Power Products. Our premium boat brands, led by Boston Whaler and Sea Ray, leveraged strong early-season boat shows into success at retail, and Freedom Boat Club opened many new locations and recorded some of its busiest weekends in the history of its operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a material impact on our results in the quarter, primarily due to lower revenues stemming from the suspension of production at many of our manufacturing facilities, almost all of which resumed production in April. However, our global distribution businesses continued to operate, and we were able to offset half of the earnings impact through operating expense control. This enabled us to generate operating margins consistent with prior year, demonstrating the resiliency of our businesses in an extremely challenged market," Foulkes concluded.

Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash and marketable securities totaled $515.3 million at the end of the first quarter, up $182.6 million from year-end 2019 levels. This change includes the impact of seasonal reductions resulting from cash used by operating activities during the first three months of the year of $92.7 million, which increased by $19.5 million versus the prior year, primarily as a result of higher seasonal working capital usage, adjusting for the impacts of changes in exchange rates.

Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash provided of $266.1 million during the quarter, including $385.0 million of precautionary revolving credit facility borrowings, and also included $55.9 million of capital expenditures, $34.1 million of share repurchases through early March, and $19.1 million of dividend payments.

The Propulsion segment, which manufactures and distributes marine engines and related controls and rigging, reported a slight sales decrease in the quarter as continued strong demand for higher horsepower outboard engine categories and related controls and systems was offset by weaker sales of lower horsepower outboards and sterndrive engines as anticipated. Operating earnings were up slightly as benefits from cost reduction activities and a more favorable sales mix exceeded increased costs resulting from COVID-19 disruptions, including the temporary suspension of manufacturing, and the impact of unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates and tariffs.

The Parts and Accessories segment, which contains the engine parts and consumables, electrical products, boat parts and systems, and distribution businesses, reported lower sales and earnings in the quarter as strong growth at Power Products was offset by lower sales in the other businesses. This performance was affected by stay at home orders, which disrupted both dealer operations and boating activity in many locations towards the end of the quarter, at a time when seasonal sales are usually accelerating.

The Boat segment, which manufactures and distributes recreational boats, and includes Business Acceleration operations, reported lower sales and earnings against prior year due mostly to the temporary suspension of manufacturing in most plants towards the end of the quarter. Freedom Boat Club, which is part of Business Acceleration, contributed approximately 2.5 percent of sales in the quarter, despite some locations being impacted by local business closure orders. Operating earnings were also affected by higher retail discount levels over prior year and unfavorable changes in sales mix, which offset the benefits of cost reduction actions.

2020 Outlook

"Due to our strong financial profile and healthy balance sheet, we will continue to invest in our businesses, consistent with our standing objective of driving shareholder value, while ensuring that we continue to prioritize and devote our best efforts to protecting the health and welfare of our employees," said Foulkes. "The strategic portfolio actions and cost reduction efforts executed in the last two years, together with our strong pipeline of new products and successful execution of our capital strategy, position us well to navigate the near-term economic conditions and resume our growth trajectory as we exit the COVID-19 economic environment.

Projecting the demand environment and operating results for the remainder of 2020 involves a high degree of uncertainty. There are still many unanswered questions, including the progression of the pandemic, the response of countries and states, and the resulting impact on the macro economy. These factors will ultimately influence the performance of the marine market and the global consumer. In response, our businesses have been preparing for a range of scenarios, and our plan for the remainder of the year is based on the following assumptions:

1.
We anticipate that the global marine market will be down significantly in the second quarter of 2020 with declines moderating over the second-half of the year. We project U.S. marine industry retail unit demand for the full-year to be down high-teens to low-twenties percent from 2019 levels. We are assuming that wholesale comparisons will be better than retail in the back-half of the year due mostly to the pipeline reduction actions executed in the second-half of 2019. We believe that sales of parts and accessories in the second-half of 2020 should be slightly below 2019 levels, assuming boat usage returns to more normal trends, with the aftermarket portion of the business performing at or slightly above prior year.
2.
We expect operating expenses of between $525 and $550 million for the year, which represents an approximate 15 percent decrease from our initial 2020 plans, while still preserving all critical product programs that we believe will drive future earnings growth and market share gains.

3.
On capital strategy, we completed $34 million of share repurchases earlier in the first quarter, and have suspended repurchases for the remainder of the year. Our second quarter dividend has been approved and will be paid in June. We plan to reduce debt outstanding by $35 million, consistent with scheduled maturities, and are targeting between $150 and $160 million of capital expenditures for the year.
4.
The second quarter is expected to be challenging. However, given the strength of our P&A business, the cost actions we have taken or can execute quickly as a result of our highly variable cost structure, and the safe restart of production that is already well underway, we believe that we can operate profitably in the quarter, with positive free cash flow.

It cannot be overstated that the level of recovery of the global economy, the resumption of domestic and international boating activity, normalized channel operations, and the absence of significant additional disruption to our global operations will be the most important factors in determining where we ultimately perform versus our current market assumptions. For the full-year, although our formal guidance remains withdrawn, we would anticipate revenue comparisons to trend slightly better than the U.S. retail marine market performance, primarily due to the resiliency of our P&A business. We expect operating deleverage to fall between mid-twenties and mid-thirties percent, allowing us to generate free cash flow in excess of $125 million, which includes the funding of high priority projects.

The environment this year is substantially different than what we had planned for back in January, but given our solid strategic plan and strong financial position entering this crisis, and our track record of taking quick and decisive actions as economic conditions change, we believe that we will exit the year with momentum and a focus on continuing to generate significant value for our shareholders in 2021 and beyond.  While we clearly recognize and are responding to the very significant challenges this crisis is presenting, we are encouraged by fact that the majority of U.S. states now include boating, with some restrictions, in the list of acceptable recreational activities, by the progressive reopening of more boat dealerships, and by recent increases in online activity and lead generation related to our products.

Lastly, on behalf of myself and the Brunswick team, I would like to send heartfelt best wishes to those most affected by COVID-19, including those fighting and recovering from infection and the first responders, healthcare workers, and essential employees on the front lines. Brunswick will continue to do our part in helping our communities persevere through and ultimately recover from this crisis," 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.
