"Strong cash generation, high-horsepower outboard market share gains, and steady operating performance in the fourth quarter helped close out a successful 2023 in which Brunswick delivered the second highest sales and adjusted EPS in Company history," said David Foulkes, Brunswick Chief Executive Officer. "Despite the challenging macroeconomic backdrop leading to some consumer and channel caution, resilient demand for our products and services, especially across our premium brands, together with continued cost containment and robust capital strategy execution, allowed us to deliver strong earnings and sector-leading shareholder returns, again demonstrating the robustness of our portfolio. Further, focused efforts to control inventory levels and spending enabled exceptional free cash flow conversion of 143% in the second half of the year, even while we continued to invest in new products, technologies and facilities to secure future growth."
In line with prior expectations, U.S. new boat retail sales ended 2023 down mid-to high single-digit percent versus 2022, with Brunswick performing slightly better than the overall market. With OEM, dealer and retailer inventories ending the year at appropriate levels across all our product lines, we expect our customers and distribution partners to begin 2024 with cautious ordering patterns as they weigh uncertain economic conditions and consumer health in our global markets.
Our propulsion business finished its second-best year on record, leveraging new products, market share gains and operational efficiencies to deliver consistent year-over-year operating margins despite slightly lower sales and earnings versus the historical highs in 2022. For the full-year, Mercury gained 50 basis points of overall retail outboard engine share in the U.S., and 150 basis points of retail share in outboard engines over 30 horsepower, which accounts for the majority of Mercury's investment in recent years.
Our engine parts and accessories businesses delivered another strong quarter, with Products sales up versus 2022 for the second straight quarter, and Distribution sales only slightly down versus prior year. Operating earnings and margin remained healthy, but were negatively impacted by operating variances, including those related to the final stages of the transition to the Brownsburg, Indiana distribution center.
Navico Group had a solid finish to the year, as an increased flow of new products and continued focus on cost control, business integration, and complexity reduction helped to offset a softer marine OEM market in the quarter and the considerably slower RV manufacturing environment. Despite these overall market headwinds resulting in lower sales and earnings in 2023, Navico Group continues to invest in market leading technologies and expand its customer base for integrated and connected solutions.
Finally, our boat business delivered sales and earnings in the quarter consistent with expectations, while continuing to ensure healthy pipeline inventory levels as we enter 2024. Strong demand for premium products, together with market share gains in many categories, is helping to provide a stable baseline for 2024. Freedom Boat Club had another strong quarter, continuing to integrate its recent acquisitions while growing membership and attracting a younger and increasingly diverse customer base. Over the past twelve months Freedom added many new locations in the U.S., Europe, and Australia, and now has more than 410 locations with an increasing percentage of Brunswick boats and engines," Foulkes concluded.
Reportable Segment Changes
As a reminder, effective January 1, 2023, we updated our reportable segments from three segments to four: Propulsion, Engine Parts & Accessories, Navico Group, and Boat. Therefore, for all periods presented in this release, all figures and outlook statements incorporate this change. Please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2023 for more information.
2023 Fourth Quarter Results
For the fourth quarter of 2023, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,361.9 million, down from a record fourth quarter in 2022 of $1,582.7 million. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $1.03 on
a GAAP basis and $1.45 on an as adjusted basis. Sales were below prior year as the impact of more measured wholesale ordering patterns by dealers, OEMs and retailers, coupled with higher discounts in select segments, were only partially offset by successful new product momentum, positive mix and pricing actions implemented in previous quarters. Operating earnings and margin declined versus a record high fourth quarter in 2022 resulting from the impact of lower net sales and prudent spending on growth initiatives, partially offset by ongoing cost containment efforts.
Additionally, versus the fourth quarter of 2022:
Propulsion segment reported a 12 percent decrease in sales due to the enterprise factors listed above, partially offset by continued market share gains in outboard engines and the acquisition of Fliteboard completed earlier in the year. Operating margins were above prior year as the impact of sales declines and higher labor inflation were more than offset by cost control and reduced material costs.
Engine Parts and Accessories segment reported a 1 percent decrease in sales with the Products business growing 3 percent over prior year and the Distribution business only slightly declining as retailer stocking in the marine channel continued to recover. Segment adjusted operating earnings and margins decreased in the quarter with slight net sales declines and higher manufacturing costs more than offsetting the impact of pricing and lower operating expenses.
Navico Group segment reported a 17 percent decrease in sales as the business experienced softer marine OEM orders and the continued weak RV manufacturing environment in the quarter. Segment adjusted operating margins decreased in the quarter primarily as a result of net sales declines which more than offset the benefit of lower operating expenses.
Boat segment reported a 22 percent decrease in sales resulting from softer wholesale orders, as dealers continue to manage pipeline levels, coupled with higher levels of selective discounting, which offset favorable mix and the impact of pricing actions taken earlier in the year. Freedom Boat Club, which is part of our Business Acceleration division, delivered another strong quarter, contributing approximately 8 percent of sales to the segment. Segment adjusted operating margin was 6 percent primarily resulting from net sales declines and continued cost inflation.
Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash and marketable securities totaled $479.7 million at the end of 2023, down $133.3 million from year-end 2022 levels.
Net cash provided by operating activities, which includes net earnings net of non-cash items, totaled $745.2 million during the year, up $164.8 million from prior year, primarily due to significant reduction in working capital usage.
Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash usage of $865.9 million during 2023, including $289.3 million of capital expenditures, $275.0 million of share repurchases, $112.0 million of dividend payments, $103.6 million of cash paid for acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired, and $82.3 million of long-term debt repayments.
2024 Outlook
"2024 has the potential to be a year of steadily easing financial conditions and while we enter the year with a cautious outlook, particularly in the first quarter, we have already launched more than fifteen new products across our businesses and we remain extremely focused on delivering steady free cash flow and resilient EPS, resulting in continued strong shareholder returns. Our disciplined pipeline management, strong operational performance and continued investments in new products and growth, coupled with prudent cost containment actions, strong free cash flow generation, and a thoughtful capital strategy, provide the necessary controllable levers in this uncertain consumer and business environment. We are extremely pleased with the enormous excitement generated by Brunswick's presence at the Consumer Electronics Show in early January, where we presented our full portfolio of both already commercialized and upcoming new ACES products and technologies, and at the early-season boat shows including the positive momentum coming out of the Dusseldorf, Toronto and Minneapolis Boat Shows, all of which positions us well entering 2024. In
addition, our Board of Directors increased our share repurchase authorization earlier this week and we now have over $500 million approved for repurchases, which we plan to systematically deploy
consistent with our capital strategy," said Foulkes.
"Accordingly, we are providing the following guidance for 2024, anticipating:
1.U.S. marine industry retail unit sales to be flat versus 2023;
2.Net sales between $6.0 billion and $6.2 billion;
3.Adjusted operating margin of between 12.0 and 13.0 percent;
4.Free cash flow in excess of $350 million;
5.Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $7.00 - $8.00; and
6.First quarter 2024 revenue of between $1.3 and $1.4 billion, and adjusted EPS between $1.30 and $1.40.
Let me close by expressing my extreme appreciation and gratitude to all Brunswick employees around the world as well as our many partners for their commitment, strong execution, innovation, and support to deliver such a terrific year in a challenging environment.
Finally, I hope you will join us on Thursday afternoon, February 15 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, free cash flow conversion, 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.
