"Another strong performance in the fourth quarter capped an outstanding 2022 in which Brunswick delivered record sales, operating margins, and operating earnings, with our boat business' full-year adjusted operating margin exceeding 10 percent for the first time in company history" said David Foulkes, Brunswick Chief Executive Officer. "Our exceptional operating performance and cost containment in a challenging macro-economic environment continues to highlight the strength of our businesses, our leaders, and the durability of our portfolio and earnings profile. Further, our flexible and prudent capital strategy enables robust investment in new products, capacity, and technology to drive future growth, and at the same time delivers strong shareholder returns.
Our propulsion business delivered another quarter of strong top-line and earnings growth. Favorable product mix and pricing actions taken earlier in the year led to higher sales and operating margins than the prior year quarter. Mercury's sustained investment in outboard engines continues to deliver strong returns, as Mercury has gained ~300 basis points of overall retail share in the U.S. and more than 10 percentage points in over 300hp engines since December 2019. Our previously announced project to increase capacity at our Fond du Lac, WI campus, primarily for higher horsepower outboards, is materially complete and will enable increased production for recently underserved international and repower channels, together with new and existing OEM customers in 2023 and beyond.

Our parts and accessories businesses returned to more normal seasonality in the quarter, though still delivered earnings and margin growth as anticipated. Sales were impacted by certain headwinds, including currency, leading to slightly lower top-line performance; however, on a full year basis, revenue was down less than 1 percent excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions versus a record 2021. Operating earnings and margin growth was broad based across P&A
                

businesses in the quarter, with notably strong growth in the legacy Navico business as optimized pricing coupled with the initial benefits of the redesigned organization and spending containment offset higher input costs and unfavorable currency impacts.
Lastly, our boat business delivered exceptional top-line and earnings growth in the quarter, reaching 10.2 percent full-year adjusted operating margins, while continuing to ensure healthy pipeline inventory levels as we enter 2023. Strong demand for our new products, operational efficiencies and diligent supply chain management, more than offset inflationary factors to deliver outstanding performance. Finally, Freedom Boat Club had another strong quarter, continuing to integrate its 2022 acquisitions while growing membership and attracting a younger and increasingly diverse customer base. Our Southwest Florida operations, which were impacted by Hurricane Ian at the end of the third quarter, have substantially recovered and all locations have now reopened. Over the past twelve months, Freedom added many new locations in the U.S. and Europe, and now has more than 370 locations and a fleet of approximately 5,000 boats with an increasing percentage of Brunswick boats and engines," Foulkes concluded.

2022 Fourth Quarter Results

For the fourth quarter of 2022, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,582.7 million, up from $1,431.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $1.93 on a GAAP basis and $1.99 on an as adjusted basis. Sales growth resulted from steady demand, successful new product introductions, and pricing implemented in previous quarters, partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All segments contributed to the strong operating earnings and margin growth versus the fourth quarter of 2021, with net sales growth, coupled with prudent cost containment efforts, being partially offset by higher input costs and spending on growth initiatives, our ACES innovation strategy, and new product technology. Additionally, versus the fourth quarter of 2021:
Propulsion segment reported a 17 percent increase in sales due to continued gains in global sales volume, favorable product mix, and higher prices compared to prior year. Robust operating earnings growth resulted from increased sales and lower operating expenses, offsetting higher inflationary costs and investments in capacity expansion.
                

Parts and Accessories segment reported an 8 percent decrease in sales as the impact of unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, return to more normal seasonality in the marine channel, and slower retailer restocking continued in the quarter. Segment operating margins increased in the quarter with the slight net sales decline more than offset by pricing net of costs and lower operating expenses.

Boat segment reported a 26 percent increase in sales with higher wholesale volume partially offset by selective discounting. Freedom Boat Club, which is part of our Business Acceleration division, delivered another strong quarter, contributing approximately 5 percent of sales to the segment. Segment operating margin was 10.8 percent as increased sales, improved mix, and pricing more than offset continued cost inflation.

Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash and marketable securities totaled $613.0 million at the end of 2022, up $245.5 million from year-end 2021 levels.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the year of $580.4 million includes net earnings net of non-cash items, partially offset by the impact of higher working capital needs, including increased inventory levels to ensure manufacturing continuity necessary to meet demand and rebuild pipeline inventories.

Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash used of $332.4 million during 2022, including the issuance of $750.0 million of 10-year and 30-year notes in the first quarter for general corporate purposes and $42.5 million cash benefit from cross-currency swap settlements, net of $450.0 million of share repurchases, $388.3 million of capital expenditures, $108.6 million of dividend payments, $93.8 million of cash paid for acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired, and $59.1 million of long-term debt repayments.

2023 Outlook

"Despite an uncertain macro-economic backdrop, we remain extremely focused on executing our 2025 strategic plan and are confident we will continue to deliver healthy shareholder returns in 2023. Our strong operational performance and continued investments in new products and growth,
                

coupled with a focus on cost containment activities and a prudent yet flexible capital strategy, provides the necessary controllable levers to drive growth even in uncertain consumer or business environments. The successful launch of our electrified propulsion, boat and power management products this January at the Consumer Electronics Show and the Dusseldorf Boat Show, which generated enormous consumer response, adds to our extensive and unique portfolio and positions us for a very exciting 2023," said Foulkes.

"Accordingly, we are providing the following guidance for 2023, anticipating:
1.U.S. marine industry retail unit sales to be down modestly versus 2022, with premium segments performing better than certain value segments;
2.Net sales between $6.8 billion and $7.2 billion;
3.Adjusted operating margin of approximately 15%;
4.Operating expenses flat to increase slightly as a percent of sales, with continued, focused spending on ACES and other growth initiatives;
5.Free cash flow in excess of $375 million;
6.Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $9.50 - $11.00; and
7.First quarter 2023 flat to slight revenue growth over first quarter 2022, and adjusted EPS between $2.30 and $2.40.

Let me close by relaying my extreme appreciation and gratitude to all of our Brunswick employees around the world as well as our many partners for their incredible execution, innovation, and support to deliver such a fantastic year in a challenging environment.

Finally, I hope you will join us on Thursday afternoon, February 16 at the Miami Boat Show for an Investor and Analyst Event as we showcase our many exciting new products and demonstrate the power of our technology and our enterprise synergies," Foulkes concluded.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this release, including adjusted operating earnings, adjusted operating margin, free cash flow, and adjusted diluted EPS, 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 acquisitions, among other adjustments.

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.
