Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

In its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Brunswick Corporation reported its financial results through three reportable segments: Propulsion, Parts & Accessories and Boat.

Given the continued integration of the Navico business with our legacy Advanced Systems Group (“ASG”) operating segment, and the significant restructuring actions already completed in early 2023, starting in January of 2023, our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker, began regularly reviewing discrete financial information for Navico and ASG together as a single business, which is now referred to as Navico Group. As a result, effective for the first quarter of 2023, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine Parts & Accessories, Navico Group and Boat.

The changes in reportable segment presentation included the following:

•The previous Parts & Accessories reportable segment is now split into Engine Parts & Accessories and Navico Group segments.

•The Engine Parts & Accessories segment is now inclusive of engine parts and consumables such as oils and lubricants, electrical products, boat parts and systems and our distribution businesses.

•The Navico Group segment now represents the organizational integration between the legacy ASG business with two key acquisitions that were completed in late 2021 – Navico and RELiON.

Selected restated segment financial data reflecting the segment change for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, the three months ended April 2, 2022, the three and six months ended July 2, 2022, the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, and the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022 is incorporated herein by reference and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in this report and the exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
