Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring Activities | Note 2 – Restructuring Activities In November 2006, Brunswick announced restructuring initiatives designed to improve the Company’s cost structure, better utilize overall capacity and improve general operating efficiencies. These initiatives reflected the Company’s response to a difficult marine market, which continued to decline through 2010 and led to expanded restructuring activities between 2007 and 2011 in order to improve performance and better position the Company for current market conditions and longer-term profitable growth. These initiatives have resulted in the recognition of restructuring, exit and impairment charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during 2012 and 2011. The costs incurred under these initiatives include: Restructuring Activities – These amounts mainly relate to:
• | Employee termination and other benefits
• | Costs to retain and relocate employees
• | Consulting costs
• | Consolidation of manufacturing footprint
Exit Activities – These amounts mainly relate to:
• | Employee termination and other benefits
• | Lease exit costs
• | Inventory write-downs
• | Facility shutdown costs
Asset Disposition Actions – These amounts mainly relate to sales of assets and impairments of:
• | Fixed assets
• | Tooling
• | Patents and proprietary technology
• | Dealer networks
Impairments of definite-lived assets are recognized when, as a result of the restructuring activities initiated, the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not expected to be fully recoverable. The impairments recognized were equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the estimated fair value of the asset, which was determined using observable inputs, including the use of appraisals from independent third parties, when available, and, when observable inputs were not available, based on the Company’s assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company used discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs were unavailable. The Company has reported restructuring and exit activities based on the specific driver of the cost and reflected the expense in the accounting period when the cost has been committed or incurred, as appropriate. The Company considers actions related to the divestiture of its Sealine boat business, the divestiture of its Triton fiberglass boat business, the closure of a marine electronics business and the sale of the Valley-Dynamo business to be exit activities. All other actions taken are considered to be restructuring activities. The following table is a summary of the expense associated with the restructuring, exit and impairment activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011. The 2012 charges consist of expenses related to actions initiated in 2010, 2009 and 2008. The 2011 charges consist of expenses related to actions initiated in 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008:

The Company anticipates it will incur between $5 million and $10 million of additional restructuring charges in 2012 primarily related to known restructuring activities initiated in 2011, 2010 and 2009. The Company expects most of these charges will be incurred in the Marine Engine and Boat segments. Reductions in demand for the Company’s products, or further opportunities to reduce costs, may result in additional restructuring, exit or impairment charges in 2012. Actions Initiated in 2011 and 2010 There were no restructuring, exit and impairment charges recorded during 2012 for actions initiated during 2011. During 2011 and 2010, the Company continued its restructuring activities by disposing of non-strategic assets, consolidating manufacturing operations and reducing the Company’s global workforce. In the third quarter of 2011, the Company divested its Sealine boat brand. Results of operations of Sealine are not material for the periods presented. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company reached a decision to consolidate its Cabo Yachts production into its Hatteras facility in New Bern, North Carolina. Additionally, the Company finalized plans to divest its Triton fiberglass boat brand and completed an asset sale transaction in the third quarter of 2010. In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company recognized exit charges related to the closure of a marine electronics business. The restructuring, exit and impairment charges recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011, related to actions initiated in 2011 and 2010, by reportable segment, are summarized below:

Actions Initiated in 2009 and 2008 During the third quarter of 2009, the Company announced plans to reduce excess manufacturing capacity by relocating inboard and sterndrive production to Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and closing its Stillwater, Oklahoma plant. This plant transition is expected to conclude in 2012. The Company also continued to consolidate the Boat segment’s manufacturing footprint in 2009 and began marketing for sale certain previously closed boat production facilities in the fourth quarter of 2009. During 2008, the Company announced the closure of its boat production facilities in Cumberland, Maryland. These actions in the Company’s marine businesses were designed to provide long-term cost savings by reducing its fixed-cost structure.
