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. Mercury Marine manufactures and markets a full range of outboard, sterndrive, and inboard engine and propulsion systems under, among other brand names, Mercury, Mercury MerCruiser, Mercury Racing, and MotorGuide brands. Mercury Marine supplies integrated propulsion systems to the worldwide recreational and commercial marine markets.

  • Brunswick Corporation : Brunswick to Close Joinville Facility, Migrate Boat Manufacturing from Brazil
    March 23, 2017 Brunswick Corporation : Brunswick to Close Joinville Facility, Migrate Boat Manufacturing from Brazil LAKE FOREST, Ill. March 23, 2017 - Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC) today announced it will immediately begin to wind down boat manufacturing operations in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, as it prepares to close the facility. The operation manufactures certain Bayliner and Sea Ray boat models for the South American market. Moving forward, this demand will be fulfilled through Brunswick's remaining global boat manufacturing footprint. "The region's continued weak economy has made it difficult to profitably serve these markets with a dedicated manufacturing facility," explained Huw Bower, president - Brunswick Boat Group. "With our existing commercial infrastructure and channel presence, we can return to our previous model of importing boats to the region to more efficiently and effectively fulfill demand to this important market." The Company said the resulting restructuring charges are estimated to be in the range of $10 million to $12 million pretax, substantially all of which will be recorded in the first quarter of 2017. Further, these actions are projected to have a modestly positive impact on earnings and a minimal impact on free cash flow, with the majority of the earnings benefit occurring in 2018. The Company further stated that this decision has no impact on its strategy or plans for Brunswick's Mercury Marine engine business or its Life Fitness business in the region. Though the region's economy continues to
