Investments [Abstract] |
Investments | Note 8 – Investments Investments in Marketable Securities The Company invests a portion of its cash reserves in marketable debt securities. These investments, which have an original maturity of up to two years, are reported in either Short-term or Long-term investments in marketable securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Furthermore, the debt securities have readily determinable market values and are being accounted for as available-for-sale investments. These investments are recorded at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of Shareholders’ equity on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, on an after-tax basis. The following is a summary of the Company’s available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2012:

The Company had $48.9 million in sales and $178.8 million in redemptions of available-for-sale securities during 2012. The Company had $125.4 million in sales and $71.5 million in redemptions of available-for-sale securities during 2011. The net adjustment to Unrealized investment losses on available-for-sale securities included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.1 million at December 31, 2012. The net adjustment to Unrealized investment losses on available-for-sale securities included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was $0.0 million at December 31, 2011. At each reporting date, management reviews the debt securities to determine if any loss in the value of a security below its amortized cost should be considered “other-than-temporary.” For the evaluation, management determines whether it intends to sell, or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the securities. This determination considers current and forecasted liquidity requirements, regulatory and capital requirements and the strategy for managing the Company’s securities portfolio. For all impaired debt securities for which there was no intent or expected requirement to sell, the evaluation considers all available evidence to assess whether it is likely the amortized cost value will be recovered. The Company also considers the nature of the securities, the credit rating or financial condition of the issuer, the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, market conditions and whether the Company intends to sell or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the debt securities. As of December 31, 2012, there were no unrealized losses related to debt securities that required management evaluation. Equity Investments The Company has certain unconsolidated international and domestic affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method. Refer to Note 9 – Financial Services for more details on the Company’s Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC joint venture. The Company did not make any contributions to its other joint ventures in 2012 or 2011, but contributed $12.4 million in 2010. Brunswick received dividends from its unconsolidated affiliates of $0.3 million, $0.4 million, and $2.4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company's sales to and purchases from its equity investments, along with the corresponding receivables and payables, were not material to the Company's overall results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, or its financial position as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. In December 2011, the Company announced plans to dissolve its Cummins MerCruiser Diesel Marine LLC joint venture between Brunswick's Mercury Marine division and Cummins Marine, a division of Cummins Inc. This announcement resulted in a $3.8 million charge to Equity loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2011. During the second quarter of 2012, the joint venture ceased operations and began the liquidation process as the joint venture's business activities were transitioned to the parent companies.
