Business Brunswick Corporation is a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 31, 1907. We are a leading global designer, manufacturer, and marketer of recreational marine products including marine engines, boats, and parts and accessories for those products. Our engine-related products include: outboard, sterndrive, and inboard engines; trolling motors; propellers; engine control systems; electrical components and integrated systems; and marine parts and accessories. The boats we make include fiberglass sport boats, cruisers, sport fishing and center-console, offshore fishing, aluminum and fiberglass fishing, pontoon, utility, deck, inflatable, tow/wake, and heavy-gauge aluminum boats. We manufacture and supply parts and accessories for original equipment manufacturers, aftermarket parts and accessory retailers and distributors, and for internal production. Additionally, we explore, invest in, and develop growth opportunities in key strategically, synergistically, and technologically adjacent markets. In 2019, we sold our Fitness business, including the active aging, rehabilitation and billiards lines, transitioning to a company focused on the recreational marine industry. We have leading positions in several important marine business lines, including propulsion, parts & accessories, boats, and shared access models. As the global leader in recreational marine, it is our intention to define the future of recreational boating through innovation and inspiration on the water. We will do this through an integrated strategy focused on: • Introducing exceptional products across our strong array of brands; • Promoting operational and quality excellence; • Strengthening our relationships with our channel partners, suppliers, and employees; • Developing customer-centric innovation in both products and services; and • Establishing frictionless experience across consumer touchpoints. Our integrated marine business strategy is supported by a balanced capital strategy that includes allocating capital to organic growth initiatives and strategic acquisition opportunities while also managing debt levels and maturities, maintaining strong cash and liquidity positions, and continuing to return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. These strategies support our aim to create exceptional experiences for our customers, expand participation in recreational boating, deliver industry transforming technology, and leverage our leading marine businesses to grow earnings and enhance shareholder value. Consistent with our integrated marine business strategy, the Company is focused on four business pillars - Propulsion, Parts and Accessories (P&A), Boats and Business Acceleration. Effective January 1, 2020, we changed our management reporting and updated our reportable segments to Propulsion, P&A and Boat to align with our strategy. The Propulsion segment will contain both outboard and sterndrive engines, along with controls and riggings, which are closely associated with our propulsion businesses. The P&A segment will contain all other P&A categories, including engine parts and consumables, electrical products, boat parts and systems, and our distribution business. The Boat segment will continue to include Business Acceleration. For this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are reporting our results according to our historical segments, Marine Engine and Boat. Refer to Note 6 – Segment Information and Note 3 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our segments and discontinued operations. Marine Engine Segment The Marine Engine segment, which had net sales of $3,073.5 million in 2019, consists of the Mercury Marine Group (Mercury Marine). We believe our Marine Engine segment is a world leader in the manufacturing and sale of recreational marine engines and marine parts and accessories.
