"Each of our businesses delivered outstanding operating results in the third quarter. Our ability to capitalize on very robust retail demand, which was enhanced by expanded boating participation and our compelling portfolio of industry-leading brands, drove excellent financial performance and value for our shareholders," said Brunswick Chief Executive



Officer David Foulkes. "The power of our marine platform and our investments in operational excellence were on full display as we accelerated production levels to both meet retail demand, which continues to be elevated even as we exit the primary selling season in the U.S., and begin the process of replenishing historically-low pipeline inventory levels. Our extraordinarily strong free cash flow generation provides us with the flexibility to execute our capital strategy which, amongst other things, encompasses our planned investments in growth initiatives, including developing new products, advancing our ACES (Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification and Shared access) strategy, and maximizing the reach of Freedom Boat Club.
Our propulsion business continues to gain appreciable retail market share, particularly in higher-horsepower categories, as a direct result of our product leadership efforts, and has yielded many new OEM customers and new dealer relationships throughout the year. Our parts and accessories business delivered significant top-line and earnings growth as increased boating participation and favorable weather, which extended the boating season in the U.S., drove strong aftermarket sales, while boat production ramp-ups across the industry also created high demand for our full range of OEM systems and services.
Within our Boat segment, all product categories contributed to the revenue and earnings growth. Our premium brands remained market leaders in their categories and our value brands offered attractive entry points to new and returning former boaters. The surge in retail demand resulted in historically-low pipeline inventory levels, with only 14 weeks of inventory on hand or 48 percent fewer boats in dealer inventory at the end of the third quarter 2020 versus the end of the third quarter of 2019. As a result, most of our brands have all production slots sold through the 2021 model year, and our Sea Ray and Boston Whaler brands have production slots sold out into the 2022 model year. Finally, Freedom Boat Club continues to outperform our expectations, as evidenced by its growth to 244 locations and almost 36,500 memberships company-wide, with over 3,000 new memberships added in the third quarter alone.
Of course, uncertainty in the global economy remains, primarily as a result of the unpredictable trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, our operations teams are keenly focused on applying and enhancing our COVID-19 health and safety protocols while continuing to ramp-up our global production to meet the unprecedented market demand. I



want to offer my heartfelt thanks to our 13,000 global employees for their commitment, hard-work, and vigilance during this challenging time. I also want to thank our loyal long-term customers, and welcome the new Brunswick boaters and Freedom members who have been able to enjoy safe, outdoor fun with their family and friends in 2020," Foulkes concluded.

Reportable Segment Changes

As a reminder, effective January 1, 2020, we changed our management reporting and updated our reportable segments to Propulsion, Parts and Accessories, and Boats to align with our strategy. Therefore, for all periods presented in this release, all figures and outlook statements incorporate this change unless otherwise noted. Please see the Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 30, 2020 for more information.

2020 Third Quarter Results

For the third quarter of 2020, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,233.1 million, up from $976.6 million in 2019. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $1.71 on a GAAP basis and $1.80 on an as adjusted basis. Comparative third 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 $660.3 million at the end of the third quarter, up $327.6 million from year-end 2019 levels. This change includes net cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of the year of $637.4 million from net earnings and favorable changes in working capital, driven mainly by decreases in inventory levels.

This significant free cash flow generation enables us to continue our investments in new products, technology and digital transformation, and allowed us to fully resume our capital strategy by reinstituting our share repurchase program, increasing the quarterly dividend, and resuming our plan to reduce long-term debt. Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash used of $307.0 million during the first nine-months of 2020, including $120.6 million of capital expenditures, $79.1 million of share repurchases, $57.2 million of dividend payments, and $48.4 million of long-term debt reduction.

The Propulsion segment, which manufactures and distributes marine engines and related controls, rigging, and propellers, reported sales and earnings increases in the quarter from continued strong demand for outboard engines and related controls and systems, as well as the impact of decisive market share gains and favorable changes in sales mix. The increase in operating earnings was partially offset by the unfavorable impact of higher variable compensation costs.

The Boat segment, which manufactures and distributes recreational boats, and includes Business Acceleration operations, reported higher sales and earnings against prior year due to elevated sales volumes to dealers to meet increased customer demand at the retail level and to begin refilling pipeline inventories. Freedom Boat Club, which is part of Business Acceleration and represents approximately 3 percent of segment sales, also reported higher sales and earnings in the quarter due to an increase in new memberships and new franchisee locations.






2020 and 2021 Outlook

"While we remain very cognizant of macroeconomic headwinds and pandemic-related uncertainties, our continued strong performance in a robust marine retail environment has created improved visibility into our substantial growth opportunities for the remainder of 2020 and 2021," said Foulkes. "Elevated production levels over time will be required to rebuild boat and engine pipelines, and together with significant upcoming new product offerings, are anticipated to drive wholesale growth through 2021 and beyond.

The progression of the pandemic remains very dynamic, and the resulting impact on our dealers, OEM partners, suppliers, and the macro-economy is difficult to fully predict. However, given improved clarity on wholesale boat growth, Mercury's continued propulsion strength, and favorable boating trends which are creating the parts and accessories growth needed to satisfy sales and service needs, we are providing the following guidance for 2020:
1.We anticipate that U.S. marine industry retail unit demand will be up high-single digit percent for the year, with slightly stronger demand in the U.S. than in international regions;
2.We expect fourth quarter revenue to increase low-to-mid-teens percent over Q4 2019, with adjusted operating leverage of high-teens percent, leading to a full-year adjusted diluted EPS of approximately $4.75; and
3.We anticipate generating free cash flow for the year in excess of $600 million.
We are also providing initial thoughts on our projected performance for full-year 2021. We will provide a clearer view on our forecast for the 2021 marine market during our fourth quarter earnings call in early 2021, however, in a reference scenario in which U.S. marine industry retail unit demand is flat to up low-single digit percent for the year, we would anticipate:
1.Net sales between $4.7 billion and $4.9 billion, with strong growth in the boat and propulsion segments, and steady increases in parts and accessories;
2.Adjusted operating leverage of high-teens to low-twenties percent; and
3.Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $5.75 - $6.25.




The 2020 and 2021 expectations assume no major additional pandemic-related business continuity issues. In addition, as we have cautioned in past quarters, it cannot be overstated that the level of recovery of the global economy, continued stable channel operations, the ability to moderate labor and input costs, and the absence of significant additional disruption to our global operations and supply chain, will be important factors in determining whether we ultimately perform in line with our targets.

Finally, I want to reiterate our continued confidence in our ability to successfully execute our 2022 strategic plan while also ensuring that we continue to prioritize protecting the health and welfare of our employees in the COVID-19 environment. Given our strong financial position which enables continuous investment in new product and technology development, our industry-leading products which are generating continued market share gains, current low pipeline levels, the performance of Freedom Boat Club, and our focus on operational efficiency and cost containment, we expect to meet the 2022 financial objectives shared in Miami in February," 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.
