Basis of Presentation. Effective January 1, 2023, Brunswick Corporation ("Brunswick" or "the Company") changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine Parts and Accessories ("Engine P&A"), Navico Group and Boat to align with our internal operating structure. As a result of this change, the Company has recast all segment information for all prior periods presented. For further information, refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 10, 2023 and Note 9 – Segment Data.
Interim Financial Statements. Brunswick's unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted.
