Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (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. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brunswick’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the 2017 Form 10-K). These results include, in management's opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly Brunswick's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Due to the seasonality of Brunswick’s businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.
The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The third quarter of fiscal year 2018 ended on September 29, 2018 and the third quarter of fiscal year 2017 ended on September 30, 2017.
As a result of the Company's June 25, 2018 announcement ending the sale process for its Sea Ray business, starting in the second quarter of 2018, the results of the Sea Ray business are reported in continuing operations. Refer to the Form 8-K dated July 19, 2018 and Note 3 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
On March 1, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized proceeding with a spin-off of its Fitness
business. Following the proposed transaction, the Fitness business will be an independent, standalone, publicly-traded company, which will be formally named at a later date. The proposed transaction is anticipated to be tax-free to Brunswick shareholders and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019, or as promptly thereafter as practicable. The Company is also evaluating other separation options, including a sale of the business.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Presentation of Benefit Costs: In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) related to the income statement presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity’s sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendment requires entities to present the current-service-cost component with other current compensation costs in the income statement within income from operations and present the other components outside of income from operations. The Company adopted this amendment retrospectively during the first quarter of 2018. As a result, $1.1 million and $1.4 million were reclassified from Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to Other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Company reclassified $3.2 million and $4.2 million from Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient that permits the use of previously disclosed service cost and other costs from the prior year postretirement benefits footnote in the comparative periods as appropriate estimates when retrospectively changing the presentation of these costs.
Statement of Cash Flows Classifications: In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amended the ASC to add and/or clarify guidance on the classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (new revenue standard), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue standard and all related amendments for all contracts using the modified retrospective method. The Company did not elect to separately evaluate contract modifications occurring before the

(unaudited)
adoption date. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the January 1, 2018 balance of retained earnings. Prior period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the terms of sale, primarily upon shipment to customers. Under the new revenue standard, estimated costs associated with retail sales promotions anticipated to be offered to customers within the Company's Boat segment are recognized at the time of sale, whereas under previous guidance, these promotions were recorded at the later of when the program was communicated to the customer or the time of sale. In addition, certain Fitness segment customer contracts offer incentives in the form of rebates settled with free product. These rebates are deemed to be separate performance obligations under the new revenue standard, and the revenue associated with the product rebates is deferred and recognized upon customer redemption. Under previous guidance, these product rebates were recorded in Cost of sales at the time of product sale. These impacts result in a change in the timing of when certain promotions and rebates are recorded, however, the total amount of cumulative revenue recognized over the life of the contract remains unchanged.
The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2018 for the adoption of the new revenue standard was as follows:

(in millions) | Balance as of December 31, 2017 |  | Adjustments Due to ASC 606 |  | Balance as of January 1, 2018
Assets |  |  |  |  |
Accounts and notes receivable | $ | 485.3 |  |  | $ | 1.2 |  |  | $ | 486.5 |
Deferred income tax asset | 165.6 |  |  | 9.3 |  |  | 174.9 |
Liabilities |  |  |  |  |
Accrued expenses | 609.0 |  |  | 39.1 |  |  | 648.1 |
Shareholders' equity |  |  |  |  |
Retained earnings | 1,966.8 |  |  | (28.6 | ) |  | 1,938.2 |

The impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of and for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018 as a result of applying the new revenue standard was as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 29, 2018

Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied; this occurs when control of promised goods (engines, engine parts and accessories, boats, and fitness equipment) is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue related to the sale of extended warranty contracts that extend the coverage period beyond the standard warranty period over the life of the extended warranty period.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company has excluded sales, value add, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities from the determination of the transaction price for all contracts. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment activity. For all contracts with customers, the Company has not adjusted the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between the transfer of the promised goods and the customer's payment is expected to be one year or less.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Cloud Computing Arrangements: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC amendment, but does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Tax Effects in Other Comprehensive Income: In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI), which permits companies to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on items within AOCI to retained earnings. The ASU also requires certain new disclosures. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC amendment, but does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Hedge Accounting: In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, to simplify the application of hedge accounting and to better align an entity's risk management activities with the financial reporting of hedging relationships. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC amendment, but does not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Recognition of Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, (new leasing standard), which amended the ASC to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Lessees will recognize expenses similar to current lease accounting. The amendment is to be applied using a modified retrospective method with certain practical expedients, and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to elect the practical expedients upon transition that will retain the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption. The Company will also not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases.
In July, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements, which amended the ASC to provide relief from implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard. The amendment provides an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leasing standard where an entity initially applies the new leasing standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to elect this option and as a result, will not restate its condensed consolidated financial statements on the date of initial application. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will result in the recognition of approximately $85.0 million to $130.0 million in right-of-use assets and lease obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will not materially impact results on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

For product sales, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue at the time the product ships from a manufacturing or distribution facility ("free on board shipping point"), or at the time the product arrives at the customer's facility ("free on board destination"). When the shipping terms are "free on board shipping point", the customer obtains control and is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the time the products are shipped. For shipments provided under “free on board destination”, control transfers to the customer upon delivery. Payment terms vary but are generally due within 30 days of transferring control. For the Company's Boat and Marine Engine segments, most product sales are wholesale financed by customers through the Company's joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC), or other lending institutions, and payment is typically due in the month of shipment. For further information on the BAC joint venture, refer to Note 10 – Financial Services, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K. In addition, periodically the Company may require the customer to provide up front cash deposits in advance of performance.
The Company also sells separately priced extended warranty contracts that extend the coverage period beyond the standard warranty period included with the product sale. When determining an appropriate allocation of the transaction price to the extended warranty performance obligation, the Company uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price. Extended warranties typically range from an additional 1 year to 3 years. The Company receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue over the extended warranty coverage period. This time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the Company, on average, satisfies its performance obligation evenly over the warranty period.
For certain customers within the Fitness segment, the Company provides rebate incentives settled in free product. These rebates provide the customer with a material right which would not have been received without entering into the contract and, therefore, represent a separate performance obligation to which revenue is allocated based on the products' stand-alone selling price. This revenue is deferred and recognized at a point in time upon rebate redemption, with a commensurate charge to Cost of sales for related product costs. The Company also provides product installation services to certain customers for which the Company recognizes revenue at the time of installation, using an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price.
As of January 1, 2018, $170.8 million of contract liabilities associated with extended warranties, customer deposits, and product rebates were reported in Accrued expenses and Other Long-term liabilities, and $14.5 million and $63.0 million of this amount was recognized as revenue during the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively. The revenue recognized primarily related to customer deposits. As of September 29, 2018, total contract liabilities were $181.6 million. The total amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 29, 2018 is $156.9 million for contracts greater than one year. The Company expects to recognize approximately $16.8 million of this amount in 2018, $72.4

million in 2019, and $67.7 million thereafter. Contract assets as of January 1, 2018 and September 29, 2018 were not material. In addition, costs to obtain and fulfill contracts during the period were not material.
The amount of consideration received can vary, primarily because of customer incentive or rebate arrangements. In addition, the Company provides customers the right to return eligible products under certain circumstances. The Company estimates variable consideration based on the expected value of total consideration to which customers are likely to be entitled based on historical experience and projected market expectations. Included in the estimate, is an assessment as to whether any variable consideration is constrained. Revenue estimates are adjusted at the earlier of a change in the expected value of consideration or when the consideration becomes fixed.
Note 3 – Discontinued Operations
On December 5, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Sea Ray business, including the Meridian brand, as a result of, among other things, a material change in strategic direction and a review of the expected future cash flows, market conditions and business trends. The Company engaged in a thorough sales process and determined that the offers received did not reflect an appropriate value for the brand. As a result, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to end the sale process for its Sea Ray business. This action was announced on June 25, 2018. As part of this action, the Company decided to restructure the businesses, including discontinuing Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht models and winding down yacht production, while reinventing Sea Ray Sport Boat and Sport Cruiser operations. The winding down of Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations was largely completed as of the third quarter of 2018.
Due to the change in the plan of sale discussed above, the Sea Ray long-lived assets were measured at the lower of their carrying amount before being classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used, or their fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $3.3 million, $2.4 million after-tax, for an impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and $12.7 million, $9.7 million after-tax, for the nine months ended September 29, 2018. The Company used independent market appraisals (a Level 2 input) to estimate the fair value of the two yacht manufacturing facilities. Additionally, the Company utilized experience from similar historical disposals and internal expertise related to current marketplace conditions (Level 3 inputs) to estimate the fair value of specific fixed assets related to the production of yacht models to be discontinued. The reassessment indicated that the carrying value, which included $3.8 million of catch-up depreciation for the period the assets were classified as held for sale, was greater than the fair value.
In connection with the wind down of Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $15.8 million for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively, as a reduction of revenue related to estimated retail sales promotions payable to customers to support the sale of sport yachts and yachts in the dealer pipeline. Further, the Company recorded charges necessary to facilitate the wind down of yacht production as discussed in Note 5 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities.
The assets and liabilities of the Sea Ray business, which were previously reported as held for sale, have been reclassified to assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. Additionally, the results of these businesses are no longer presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in any period presented.
Note 4 – Acquisitions
On August 9, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of the Global Marine Business of Power Products Holdings, LLC (Power Products) for $910.0 million in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis. Brunswick used a combination of 364-day, three-year and five-year term loans (Term Loans), totaling $800 million, along with cash on hand, to finance the acquisition as described in Note 16 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Power Products is a leading provider of electrical products to marine and other recreational and specialty vehicle markets. The acquisition advances Brunswick’s leadership by adding integrated electrical systems solutions to the marine market and an array of other mobile, specialty vehicle and industrial applications. Power Products is managed as part of the Marine Engine segment.

The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with Brunswick being the acquiring entity, and reflects estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by Company management. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense and totaled $10.5 million and $13.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively. The net sales and operating loss of Power Products consolidated into Brunswick's financial statements since the date of acquisition were $33.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for both the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018. The operating loss included $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization.
Due to the recent timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and subject to change within the allowed measurement period as the Company finalizes its fair value estimates. The following table is a summary of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and net cash consideration paid for the Power Products acquisition during 2018:

(in millions) | Fair Value |  | Useful Life
Accounts and notes receivable | $ | 38.3 |  |  |
Inventory | 64.3 |  |  |
Goodwill (A) | 344.2 |  |  |
Trade names | 111.0 |  |  | Indefinite
Customer relationships | 430.0 |  |  | 15 years
Property and equipment | 11.0 |  |  |
Other assets | 5.6 |  |  |
Total assets acquired | 1,004.4 |  |  |
Accounts payable | 23.5 |  |  |
Accrued expenses | 16.2 |  |  |
Deferred tax liabilities | 54.7 |  |  |
Total liabilities assumed | 94.4 |  |  |
Net cash consideration paid | $ | 910.0 |  |  |

(A) The goodwill recorded for the acquisition of Power Products is not deductible for tax purposes.
Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
Prior to the acquisition, Power Products utilized a fiscal year ending August 31, and Brunswick’s fiscal year ends on December 31 of each year. As the Brunswick and Power Products fiscal years differ by more than 93 days, pursuant to Rule 11-02(c)(3) of Regulation S-X, Power Products’ historical unaudited financial information was adjusted for the purpose of presenting the Unaudited Pro Forma Net sales and Net earnings for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Unaudited Pro Forma Net sales and Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was prepared using Power Products’ historical unaudited Net sales and Net earnings for the three months ended November 30, 2017. The Unaudited Pro Forma Net sales and Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was prepared using Power Products’ historical unaudited Net sales and Net earnings for the nine months ended November 30, 2017.
The pro forma information has been prepared as if the Power Products acquisition and the related debt financing had occurred on January 1, 2017. These pro forma results are based on estimates and assumptions which the Company believes to be reasonable. They are not the results that would have been realized had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2017 and are not necessarily indicative of Brunswick's consolidated results of net earnings in future periods. The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to interest expense on the Term Loans and amortization of intangible assets. Additionally, the pro forma adjustments include the following non-recurring amounts:
(A) Transaction costs and;
(B) Expense related to the estimated fair value adjustment to inventory recognized as part of the application of purchase accounting.

Note 5 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded an impairment charge for the Cybex trade name as a result of declining operating performance and projected declines in sales. The Company used a relief-from-royalty analysis, using Level 3 inputs, to assess the fair value of the Cybex trade name. The impairment charge was recorded within the Fitness segment.
In the second quarter of 2018, the Company ended the sale process of its Sea Ray business and as a result of a change in the plan of sale, recorded an impairment of long-lived assets as discussed in Note 3 – Discontinued Operations. During the second and third quarters of 2018, the Company recorded additional charges in connection with the wind down of Sport Yacht and Yacht production, mainly relating to inventory write-downs, increased warranty liabilities and employee severance and retention bonuses. The Company also incurred transaction costs during the sale process. These costs were partially offset by the reversal of the valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2018 for estimated transaction costs which was recorded when the assets and liabilities of Sea Ray were initially reclassified as held for sale.
In 2018 and 2017, the Company executed headcount reductions in the Fitness and Boat segments aimed at improving general operating efficiencies.
In 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded charges within Corporate related to the transition of certain corporate officers.
In 2018 and 2017, the Company executed integration activities within the Fitness segment related to its acquisition of Cybex.
In the first quarter of 2017, the Company announced the closure of its boat manufacturing facility in Joinville, Santa Catarina, Brazil, as a result of continued market weakness due partially to unfavorable foreign currency impacts in the region. As a result, the Company recorded restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, including the write-down of inventory. The facility manufactured certain Bayliner and Sea Ray boat models for the Latin American market. The long-lived assets at this facility were previously fully impaired.

Note 8 – Share-Based Compensation
Under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock awards and performance awards to executives, other employees and non-employee directors from treasury shares and from authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock initially available for grant, in addition to: (i) the forfeiture of past awards; (ii) shares not issued upon the net settlement of SARs; or (iii) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes related to awards. As of September 29, 2018, 5.2 million shares remained available for grant.
Non-vested Stock Awards
The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards to key employees as determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company granted a nominal number of stock awards during the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017. The Company granted 0.3 million and 0.2 million of stock awards during the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, the Company charged $4.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively, and charged $2.9 million and $8.5 million during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock awards.
As of September 29, 2018, there was $16.5 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.
Performance Awards
In February of 2018 and 2017, the Company granted 0.1 million performance shares to certain senior executives. Performance share awards are based on three performance measures: a cash flow return on investment (CFROI) measure, an operating margin (OM) measure and a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier. Performance shares are earned based on a three-year performance period commencing at the beginning of the calendar year of each grant. The performance shares earned are then subject to a TSR modifier based on stock returns measured against stock returns of a predefined comparator group over a three-year performance

period. Additionally, in February 2018 and 2017, the Company granted 24,490 and 26,300 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding the TSR modifier. During the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, the Company charged $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and charged $2.8 million and $5.9 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to compensation expense based on projections of probable attainment of the performance measures and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards.
The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier for grants in 2018 and 2017 were $61.59 and $64.82, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:

| 2018 |  | 2017
Risk-free interest rate | 2.4 | % |  | 1.5 | %
Dividend yield | 1.3 | % |  | 1.1 | %
Volatility factor | 38.9 | % |  | 38.3 | %
Expected life of award | 2.9 years |  |  | 2.9 years |

The fair value of the certain officers' and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI and OM performance factors was $57.19 and $58.77 in 2018 and 2017, respectively, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2018 and 2017, respectively, less the present value of expected dividend payments over the vesting period.
As of September 29, 2018, the Company had $5.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.
Director Awards
The Company issues stock awards to non-employee directors in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. A portion of each director’s annual fee is paid in Brunswick common stock, the receipt of which may be deferred until a director retires from the Board of Directors. Each director may elect to have the remaining portion paid in cash, in Brunswick common stock distributed at the time of the award or in deferred Brunswick common stock with a 20 percent premium.

Note 9 – Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing Net earnings by the weighted average outstanding shares which includes certain vested, unissued equity awards during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated similarly, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of stock-settled SARs, non-vested stock awards and performance awards.
Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017 were calculated as follows:

| Three Months Ended |  | Nine Months Ended
(in millions, except per share data) | September 29, 2018 |  | September 30, 2017 |  | September 29, 2018 |  | September 30, 2017
Net earnings | $ | 70.0 |  |  | $ | 79.0 |  |  | $ | 221.9 |  |  | $ | 263.3 |
Weighted average outstanding shares-basic | 87.3 |  |  | 89.1 |  |  | 87.7 |  |  | 89.7 |
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents | 0.6 |  |  | 0.7 |  |  | 0.6 |  |  | 0.8 |
Weighted average outstanding shares-diluted | 87.9 |  |  | 89.8 |  |  | 88.3 |  |  | 90.5 |
Basic earnings per common share: | $ | 0.80 |  |  | $ | 0.89 |  |  | $ | 2.53 |  |  | $ | 2.94 |
Diluted earnings per common share: | $ | 0.80 |  |  | $ | 0.88 |  |  | $ | 2.51 |  |  | $ | 2.91 |

Share awards that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion was anti-dilutive were immaterial for all periods presented.
Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a $3.8 million charge within Selling, general and administrative expense related to a contract dispute following a customer’s failure to honor purchase commitments. The Company filed an arbitration claim against the customer for breach of contract and believes it has a meritorious position in the dispute, but has not yet recorded an offsetting receivable in the financial statements.
There were no material changes during the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 to the financial commitments or the legal and environmental commitments that were discussed in Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K.

Note 14 – Income Taxes
The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 of $4.9 million and $51.1 million, respectively, which included net discrete tax benefits of $10.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The net tax benefit of $10.5 million is primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform. The net tax benefit of $7.8 million was primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform and the excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $30.0 million and $99.1 million, respectively, which included net discrete tax benefits of $0.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, primarily associated with the net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income, for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 was 6.5 percent and 18.7 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 27.5 percent and 27.3 percent, respectively.
On December 22, 2017, tax legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law. The TCJA made significant changes to the U.S. tax code effective for 2018, with certain provisions having impacted the Company’s 2017 financial results. The changes that impacted 2017 included, but were not limited to, the write-down of deferred tax assets resulting from the lowering of the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, imposing a one-time repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and bonus depreciation that allowed for immediate full expensing of qualified property. The TCJA also established new corporate tax laws that are effective in 2018 but did not impact the Company’s 2017 financial results. These 2018 changes include, but are not limited to, lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate, a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, a new tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) net of allowable foreign tax credits, a new deduction for foreign derived intangible income (FDII), the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction, new limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation and interest expense, and limitations on the use of foreign tax credits to reduce the U.S. federal income tax liability.
Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the TCJA, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118 which provided guidance on accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date to complete the accounting for the impact of the TCJA. SAB 118 allowed the Company to provide provisional estimates of the impact of the TCJA in our financial statements for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, based on information and IRS guidance available as of the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a discrete net tax expense of $71.8 million in the fourth quarter and year ended

December 31, 2017. This expense consisted primarily of a net expense of $56.5 million for the write down of our net deferred tax assets due to the U.S. corporate income tax rate reduction and a net expense of $15.3 million for the one-time deemed repatriation tax. On the basis of updated guidance from the IRS and updates to our calculations, for the nine months ended September 29, 2018, we recorded an additional discrete tax benefit of $2.5 million, consisting primarily of a $7.0 million discrete tax expense related to the one-time deemed repatriation tax and a discrete tax benefit of $9.5 million primarily related to additional tax benefits for pension contributions. The Company has not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA and the provisional amounts will continue to be refined as needed during the measurement period allowed by SAB 118. While the Company has made reasonable estimates of the impact of the U.S. corporate income tax rate reduction and the one-time deemed repatriation tax on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, these estimates could change as the Company finalizes its 2017 deferred tax balances, refines its calculations of earnings and profits which could impact the repatriation tax calculation, and analyzes new IRS guidance related to the TCJA.
The TCJA created a new requirement that certain income (commonly referred to as "GILTI") earned by controlled foreign corporations (CFC’s) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFC’s U.S. shareholder. Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules we are continuing to evaluate this provision of the TCJA. Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). Our selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. Whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends not only on our current structure and estimated future results of global operations but also our intent and ability to modify our structure and/or our business. The Company has included an estimate of the GILTI tax in the Company’s annualized effective tax rate used to determine tax expense for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018. However, we have not yet made a policy choice regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI.
The Company will continue to analyze the effects of the TCJA on its financial statements and operations. Additional impacts from the enactment of the TCJA will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as allowed by SAB 118.
No deferred income taxes have been provided as of September 29, 2018, December 31, 2017 or September 30, 2017 on the applicable undistributed earnings of the non-U.S. subsidiaries where the indefinite reinvestment assertion has been applied. If at some future date these earnings cease to be indefinitely reinvested and are repatriated, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding and other taxes on such amounts. The Company continues to provide deferred taxes, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes, on the undistributed net earnings of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates that are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States.
As of September 29, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017, the Company had $2.6 million, $2.3 million and $2.3 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 29, 2018 could decrease by approximately $0.7 million in the next 12 months due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in the applicable statute of limitations. Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the settlement of tax audits, it is possible that there could be significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2018, but the amount cannot be estimated.
The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its field examination and has issued its Revenue Agents Report through the 2014 tax year and all open issues have been resolved. The Company is currently open to tax examinations by the IRS for the 2014 through 2017 tax years. Primarily as a result of filing amended returns, which were generated by the closing of federal income tax audits, the Company is still open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2012 taxable year. The Company is not under any income tax examination by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2013.

Note 15 – Postretirement Benefits
The Company has defined contribution plans, qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The Company's contributions to its defined contribution plans include matching and annual discretionary contributions which are based on various percentages of compensation, and in some instances are based on the amount of the employees' contributions to the plans. See Note 17 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K for further details regarding these plans.
Plan Developments. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company initiated actions to terminate the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees and the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees, effective October 31, 2018. All benefits are expected to be paid during 2019, either through a lump-sum payment or annuity offerings. As a result, the over-funded positions for both plans are currently recorded within Prepaid expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Pension and other postretirement benefit costs included the following components for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017:

Employer Contributions and Benefit Payments. During the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company contributed $160.0 million and $55.0 million, respectively, to its qualified pension plans. Company contributions are subject to change based on funding regulations and Company discretion. During the nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company contributed $2.7 million and $3.1 million, respectively, to fund benefit payments to its nonqualified pension plan.
Note 16 – Debt
On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. to obtain a $1.1 billion, 364-Day Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility (Bridge Facility). This agreement was completed in connection with the acquisition of Power Products. Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions for further details regarding the acquisition. On July 13, 2018, the Company executed the First Amendment to its Credit Facility to remove certain restrictions on the Company to incur unsecured debt with a maturity date before the Credit facility termination date. Simultaneously, $300 million of commitments related to the Bridge Facility were permanently terminated resulting in $800 million remaining under this facility. On August 7, 2018, the commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility were reduced to zero through a term loan credit agreement (Credit Agreement) to obtain term loans (Term Loans) in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million. The Term Loan debt issued on August 9, 2018 consisted of the following:

(in millions) | Principal Amount |  | Maturity Date |  | Interest Rate |  | Net Proceeds
364-day tranche loan, net of debt issuance costs of $1.1 | $ | 300.0 |  |  | August 2019 |  | Floating |  | $ | 298.9 |
3-year tranche loan, net of debt issuance costs of $0.6 | 150.0 |  |  | August 2021 |  | Floating |  | 149.4 |
5-year tranche loan, net of debt issuance costs of $1.7 (A) | 350.0 |  |  | August 2023 |  | Floating |  | 348.3 |
Total | $ | 800.0 |  |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 796.6 |

(A) Beginning in December 2018, scheduled repayment of the 5-year tranche loan occurs each March, June, September and December equal to 2.50 percent of the aggregate principal amount of $350 million. The remaining principal amount is due August 2023.
The Term Loans are unsecured and do not contain subsidiary guarantees. The Company is required to maintain compliance with two financial covenants: a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The minimum interest coverage,

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. For example, the discussion of Brunswick Corporation's (Brunswick or the Company) cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity, the discussion of the Company's net sales includes comparisons of net sales on a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions and the discussion of the Company's earnings includes comparisons of diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of comprehensive income, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.
The Company includes non-GAAP financial measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as Brunswick’s management believes that these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the Company’s ongoing business performance. In order to better align Brunswick's reported results with the internal metrics used by the Company's management to evaluate business performance as well as to provide better comparisons to prior periods and peer data, non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to the Power Products acquisition.
Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing because of factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in Brunswick’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the 2017 Form 10-K) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for subsequent periods.
Brunswick does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include pension settlement charges, restructuring, exit, integration and impairment costs, special tax items, costs related to the planned Fitness business separation, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.
Overview and Outlook
Presentation of Sea Ray Results
As a result of the June 25, 2018 announcement regarding Sea Ray, starting in the second quarter of 2018, the results of the entire Sea Ray business are again being reported in continuing operations for GAAP purposes for all periods presented. Non-GAAP results exclude the Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, which are being wound down, but include the Sport Boat and Sport Cruiser operations, which the Company will continue to operate. Outlook statements incorporate these changes unless otherwise noted. Refer to the Form 8-K dated July 19, 2018 and Note 3 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Overview
Net sales increased 14 percent during the third quarter of 2018 when compared with the third quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased 11 percent over the comparative period. Sport Yacht and Yacht operations had an unfavorable impact on sales comparisons of 1 percent. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in both the propulsion and parts and accessories businesses, including the effect of the Power Products acquisition. Boat segment net sales increased as strong growth in the saltwater fishing category, due in part to the impact of hurricane activity on 2017 results, was partially offset by the impact of the wind-down of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. Fitness segment net sales increased, reflecting strong growth in certain international markets along with modest increases in the U.S., led by growth in sales to value-oriented health clubs. International net sales for the Company increased 7 percent in the third quarter of 2018 on a GAAP basis when compared with the third quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions, international sales increased 6 percent, primarily driven by increases in Asia-Pacific and Europe.
Net sales during the first nine months of 2018 increased 7 percent on a GAAP basis compared with the same prior year period. International net sales increased 8 percent on a GAAP basis and increased 3 percent on a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions. Increases in international sales were driven by increases in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Canada.
Operating earnings in the third quarter of 2018 were $91.3 million with an operating margin of 7.0 percent, which included restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $17.7 million, losses of $11.9 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations in addition to restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, $10.5 million of acquisition-related costs, $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization, $8.7 million of separation costs related to the planned Fitness business separation and $3.8 million of other non-recurring charges in the Fitness segment. Excluding these items, operating earnings in the third quarter of 2018 were $153.3 million with an operating margin of 11.9 percent. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company reported operating earnings of $114.2 million with an operating margin of 10.0 percent, which included restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $6.8 million and losses of $9.8 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. Excluding these items, operating earnings in the third quarter of 2017 were $130.8 million with an operating margin of 11.7 percent. The decrease in operating earnings reflected the items described above as well as margin challenges in the Fitness segment including higher freight costs, an unfavorable impact from changes in sales mix, inventory cost adjustments primarily related to product transitions, and cost inflation and inefficiencies; these factors were partially offset by increased net sales and favorable changes in sales mix in the marine businesses.
Operating earnings in the first nine months of 2018 were $303.1 million with an operating margin of 7.8 percent, which included restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $56.3 million, losses of $47.4 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations in addition to restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, $13.0 million of acquisition-related costs, $12.9 million of charges related to the planned Fitness business separation, $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization and $5.4 million of other non-recurring charges in the Fitness segment. Excluding these items, operating earnings were $447.5 million for the first nine months of 2018 with an operating margin of 11.6 percent. In the first nine months of 2017, the Company reported operating earnings of $376.7 million with an operating margin of 10.3 percent, which included restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $27.7 million and losses of $21.2 million related to Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. Excluding these items, operating earnings were $425.6 million with an operating margin of 12.0 percent. The decrease in operating earnings reflected the same factors as the quarterly period above.
Outlook
With three quarters completed, Company expects that 2018 will be a year of record earnings, led by revenue and margin growth, along with strong cash flow generation. The Company is targeting 9 percent net sales growth when compared with 2017, including the impact of acquisitions, international demand impacts from tariffs and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. The Company's plan assumes the combined marine business revenue performance will continue to benefit from a steady global marine market, increases in average selling prices, including benefits from customer migration to higher horsepower engines and boats with increased content, market share gains resulting from unprecedented demand and acceptance of new outboard products as well as the Company's growing parts and accessories business. Full-year revenues in the Fitness segment are expected to be consistent with 2017.
The Company projects both gross margin and operating margin to be down slightly for the year as a percentage of sales, with solid improvements anticipated for the combined marine business more than offset by anticipated declines for the Fitness segment, as well as increased restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges and losses associated with the wind-down of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. The recently implemented tariffs are estimated to negatively impact 2018 margins in the range of $10 million to $15 million, which includes the benefit of offsetting price increases. Tariffs on the Marine Engine segment's manufactured

and imported products from China account for two-thirds of the impact with the remaining related to exports of boats manufactured in the United States. The Company projects operating expenses, including research and development expenses, to be higher in 2018 when compared with 2017 as the Company continues to increase investment spending to support growth including new products, productivity initiatives and information technology. Operating expenses are projected to be comparable to 2017 on a percentage of sales basis.
The Company is planning for its effective tax rate in 2018 to be approximately 21 percent based on existing tax laws.
Matters Affecting Comparability
The Company believes certain items affect the comparability of the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017. The tables below summarize the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, the impact of recent acquisitions and the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations on the Company's net sales:

Changes in Foreign Currency Rates. Percentage changes in net sales expressed in constant currency reflect the impact that changes in currency exchange rates had on comparisons of net sales. To determine this information, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparative period. The percentage change in net sales expressed on a constant currency basis better reflects the changes in the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Approximately 21 percent of the Company's annual net sales are transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company's most material exposures include sales in Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, British pounds and Brazilian reais.
Additionally, operating earnings comparisons were affected by foreign exchange rates by approximately $(6) million and $1 million in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively, of 2018 when compared with 2017. These estimates include the impact of translation on all sales and costs transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, the impact of hedging activities and pricing actions in certain international markets in response to the changes in the exchange rate between the local currency and the U.S. dollar.
Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges. The Company recorded restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges during the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017. The following table summarizes these charges by cash charges and non-cash charges.

Net sales increased during the third quarter of 2018 when compared with the third quarter of 2017. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in both the propulsion and parts and accessories businesses, including the effect of the Power Products acquisition. Boat segment net sales increased due to strong growth in the saltwater fishing category, due in part to the impact of hurricane activity on 2017 results, and Sea Ray Sport Boats and Cruisers as well as solid growth in pontoon boats and at Lund, partially offset by the wind-down of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations. Fitness segment net sales increased, reflecting strong growth in certain international markets along with modest increases in the U.S., led by growth in sales to value-oriented health clubs. Growth reflected strong sales in the global commercial strength category and slight growth in the commercial cardio category, as increases in Life Fitness branded cardio products at domestic health clubs were partially offset by declines in Cybex cardio sales. International net sales for the Company were 31 percent of total net sales and increased 7 percent in the third quarter of 2018 on a GAAP basis when compared with the third quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions, international sales increased 6 percent, primarily driven by increases in Asia-Pacific and Europe.

On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions, international net sales increased 3 percent and were driven by increases in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Canada.
Gross margin percentage was down in the third quarter of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period and included purchase accounting amortization as well as declines resulting from the wind-down of the Sport Yacht and Yacht operation. Additionally, several unfavorable factors in the Fitness segment contributed to gross margin declines including higher freight costs, an unfavorable impact from changes in sales mix, inventory cost adjustments primarily related to product transitions, and cost inflation and inefficiencies. Partially offsetting these factors were volume benefits and a favorable impact from changes in sales mix, including benefits from new products in the marine businesses. In the first nine months of 2018, gross margin percentage declined due to the same factors described above.
Selling, general and administrative expense and Research and development expense increased during the third quarter of 2018 when compared with the third quarter of 2017. Selling, general and administrative expense in 2018 included acquisition-related costs, costs associated with the planned Fitness business separation, purchase accounting amortization associated with the Power Products acquisition and charges related to a contract dispute in the Fitness segment. Both line items reflected planned spending increases to support new product promotion and development in the Marine Engine segment. In the first nine months of 2018, both Selling, general and administrative expense and Research and development expense increased due to the same factors described above.
The Company recorded restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges of $17.7 million and $56.3 million during the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively, and recorded $6.8 million and $27.7 million of similar charges during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Refer to Note 5 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
The Company recorded Equity earnings of $1.6 million and $4.0 million in the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively, which were mainly related to the Company's joint ventures. This compares with Equity earnings of $1.5 million and $5.2 million recorded in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company recognized $(0.8) million and $(3.3) million in Other expense, net in the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018. This compares with $(1.0) million and $(1.4) million recognized in Other expense, net in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Other expense, net primarily includes pension and other postretirement benefit costs, the amortization of deferred income related to a trademark licensing agreement with AMF Bowling Centers, Inc. as discussed in Note 1 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K, as well as remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates.
Net interest expense increased for both the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 when compared with the same prior year periods primarily due to new debt issuances in the third quarter of 2018 as discussed in Note 16 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Interest expense also included the mark-to-market impact of the Company's fixed-to-floating rate interest rate swaps.
The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 of $4.9 million and $51.1 million, respectively, which included net discrete tax benefits of $10.5 million and $7.8 million, respectively. The net tax benefit of $10.5 million is primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform. The net tax benefit of $7.8 million was primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform and the excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $30.0 million and $99.1 million, respectively, which included net discrete tax benefits of $0.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, primarily associated with the net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income, for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018 was 6.5 percent and 18.7 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 27.5 percent and 27.3 percent, respectively.
Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, operating earnings, net earnings and diluted earnings per common share decreased during both the third quarter and first nine months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year periods. Diluted earnings per common share includes the benefits of common stock repurchases on shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted, increased by $0.30 per share, or 31 percent, to $1.28 per share for the third quarter of 2018 when compared with the third quarter of 2017, and excluded the following items: restructuring, exit, integration

(B) Includes $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2018.
Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to strong growth in both the propulsion and parts and accessories categories, including the effect of the Power Products acquisition. Revenues from acquisitions accounted for 6 percent of the Marine Engine segment's overall revenue growth rate in the third quarter of 2018. The propulsion business benefited from strong growth in outboard engines with results driven by successful new products, continued customer migration to higher horsepower products and a healthy marine market. The parts and accessories business reported strong growth led by the acquisition of Power Products along with solid growth in both the products and distribution businesses. International net sales were 29 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2018 and increased 14 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions, international net sales increased 11 percent due to increases in Europe, Canada and Asia-Pacific.
Net sales for the Marine Engine segment increased in the first nine months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above. International net sales were 29 percent of the segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2018 and increased 11 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions, international net sales increased 4 percent with increases in Europe, Canada and Rest-of-World regions.
The Marine Engine segment reported increased operating earnings in the third quarter of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period as a result of strong operating performance including higher net sales and favorable impacts from changes in sales mix which more than offset unfavorable impacts from changes in foreign exchange rates. Operating performance also reflected the impacts of acquisition-related costs and purchase accounting amortization.
Operating earnings for the first nine months of 2018 increased when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period except foreign currency exchange impacts were favorable. Additionally, the first half of the year included unfavorable impacts of plant efficiencies associated with production ramp-up for new products and warehouse management systems integration as well as planned spending increases for product promotion and development.

(A) Refer to the Matters Affecting Comparability section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis for the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations on the Boat segment results.
Boat segment net sales increased compared with the same prior year period. Sport Yacht and Yacht sales, which included timing benefits as a result of the adoption and implementation of the new revenue standard, negatively affected sales comparisons by 5 percent. Net sales for the segment benefited from strong growth in the saltwater fishing category, due in part to the impact of hurricane activity on 2017 results, and Sea Ray Sport Boats and Cruisers as well as solid growth in pontoon boats and at Lund. Partially offsetting these factors were continued weakness at Lowe due to the transition away from Cabela's and slower wholesale demand in Canada due to tariffs. Global wholesale boat shipments were down, but sales increases were aided by higher average selling prices as customers continue to migrate to boats with more content and higher horsepower engines. In addition, price increases were implemented in response to inflation, particularly in aluminum fishing boats and pontoons. International net sales were 18 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2018, and decreased 15 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, international net sales decreased 11 percent as declines in Canada and Europe were partially offset by increased sales to Asia-Pacific.
Boat segment net sales decreased slightly in the first nine months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period as a result of the quarterly factors discussed above, except Sport Yacht and Yacht sales negatively affected sales comparisons by 7 percent. International net sales were 25 percent of the segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2018, and increased 1 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, international net sales increased 1 percent as increased sales to Canada and Asia-Pacific were offset by declines in Rest-of-world regions.
Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the third quarter of 2018 when compared with the third quarter of 2017. The decrease was the result of higher restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges and weaker operating performance from Sport Yacht and Yacht operations as a result of the wind-down. These factors more than offset positive earnings contributions from the rest of the businesses, which benefited from increased sales and a favorable impact from changes in product mix. Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the first nine months of 2018 compared with 2017 due to the same factors discussed for the quarterly period above.

(B) The third quarter of 2018 includes a $3.8 million charge related to a contract dispute as discussed in Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The nine months ended September 29, 2018 reflects $5.4 million of charges, including $1.6 million of charges within Cost of sales related to an additional product field campaign.
Fitness segment net sales increased, reflecting strong growth in certain international markets along with modest increases in the U.S., led by growth in sales to value-oriented health clubs. This performance included strong sales in the global commercial strength category due to increased demand resulting from a well-positioned product offering and evolving exerciser preferences, as well as slight growth in the commercial cardio category as increases in Life Fitness branded cardio products at domestic health clubs were partially offset by declines in Cybex cardio sales. International net sales were 48 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2018 and increased 7 percent on a GAAP basis and 9 percent on a constant currency basis, reflecting strong increases in Asia-Pacific.
Net sales for the Fitness segment increased in the first nine months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, except sales in the U.S. were down slightly. International net sales were 49 percent of the segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2018, and increased 7 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 5 percent primarily driven by increases in Asia-Pacific and Europe.
Fitness segment operating earnings decreased in the third quarter of 2018 as a result of several factors affecting margins including higher freight costs, an unfavorable impact from changes in sales mix, charges related to a contract dispute, higher restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, inventory cost adjustments primarily related to product transitions, and cost inflation and inefficiencies. These factors were partially offset by benefits from higher sales which included timing benefits as a result of from the adoption and implementation of the new revenue standard. Fitness segment operating earnings decreased in the first nine months of 2018 compared with 2017 due to the same factors discussed for the quarterly period above, except there were charges related to an additional product field campaign and restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges were lower than the prior year.

Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth an analysis of free cash flow for the nine months ended:

(in millions) | September 29, 2018 |  | September 30, 2017
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 234.0 |  |  | $ | 255.1 |
Net cash provided by (used for): |  |  |  |  |
Plus: Capital expenditures | (124.8 | ) |  | (153.4 | )
Plus: Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment | 6.5 |  |  | 8.0 |

Less: Cash impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, net of tax | (32.3 | ) |  | (19.9 | )
Free cash flow (A) | $ | 149.1 |  |  | $ | 138.6 |

(A) The Company defines “Free cash flow” as cash flow from operating and investing activities of continuing operations (excluding cash provided by or used for acquisitions, investments, purchases or sales/maturities of marketable securities and other investing activities, as well as cash paid for Fitness business separation costs, net of tax, and the cash impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, net of tax) and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. Free cash flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company uses this financial measure both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tool that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Free cash flow” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives.
Brunswick’s major sources of funds for capital investments, acquisitions, share repurchase programs and dividend payments are cash generated from operating activities, available cash and marketable securities balances and potential borrowings. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.
2018 Cash Flow
In the first nine months of 2018, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $234.0 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by planned pension contributions and a seasonal increase in working capital. Working capital is defined as Accounts and notes receivable, Inventories and Prepaid expenses and other, net of Accounts payable and Accrued expenses as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding the impact of certain items including acquisitions and non-cash adjustments. Accounts and notes receivable increased $54.7 million due primarily to normal seasonal changes in net sales and timing of collections in the Marine Engine segment. Inventory and Accounts payable increased $31.2 million and $35.5 million, respectively, primarily due to increased sales and production activity in the Marine Engine segment.
Net cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of 2018 totaled $1,030.7 million, primarily driven by cash paid for the acquisition of Power Products of $910.0 million and capital expenditures of $124.8 million. The Company's capital spending focused on investments in new products as well as capacity expansion initiatives, mostly in the Marine segments.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $654.0 million during the first nine months of 2018. The cash inflow was mainly due to $796.6 million of net proceeds from issuances of short-term and long-term debt in connection with the Power Products acquisition, partially offset by common stock repurchase activity and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.

2017 Cash Flow
In the first nine months of 2017, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $255.1 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by a seasonal increase in working capital and pension contributions. Net inventories increased by $90.7 million, primarily driven by increases to support higher sales volumes, along with new product transitions in the Fitness segment and the impact of Hurricane Irma on boat operations. Accounts and notes receivable increased $51.4 million due primarily to normal seasonal changes in net sales and timing of collections. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in Accrued expenses of $28.5 million, primarily driven by payroll timing, partially offset by the payment of the prior year's variable compensation and deferred compensation, which had been accrued as of December 31, 2016. Accounts payable increased $11.7 million due to normal volume increases.
Net cash used for investing activities during the first nine months of 2017 totaled $121.9 million, which included capital expenditures of $153.4 million. The Company's capital spending was focused on new product introductions and capacity expansion projects in all segments. Cash paid for the acquisition of Lankhorst Taselaar, net of cash acquired, was $15.5 million. Net cash used for investing activities also included net proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $35.0 million and proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment of $8.0 million.
Net cash used for financing activities of continuing operations was $173.7 million during the first nine months of 2017. The cash outflow included common stock repurchase activity and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.

(A) See Note 16 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's lending facility.
(B) The Company defines Total liquidity as Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments in marketable securities as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, plus amounts available for borrowing under its lending facilities. Total liquidity is not intended as an alternative measure to Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments in marketable securities as determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company uses this financial measure both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view the Company’s performance using the same metric that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Total liquidity” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of the Company’s available highly liquid assets and immediate sources of financing.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $303.2 million as of September 29, 2018, a decrease of $146.4 million from $449.6 million as of December 31, 2017, and a decrease of $88.7 million from $391.9 million as of September 30, 2017. Total debt as of September 29, 2018, December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2017 was $1,229.8 million, $437.4 million and $441.8 million, respectively. The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 44.1 percent as of September 29, 2018, up from 22.8 percent as of December 31, 2017 and up from 22.0 percent as of September 30, 2017.
On June 28, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. to obtain a $1.1 billion, 364-Day Senior Unsecured Bridge Facility (Bridge Facility). In the third quarter of 2018, the Company incurred $5.1 million of Transaction financing fees related to this Bridge Facility. On July 13, 2018, the Company executed the First Amendment to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to remove certain restrictions on the Company to incur unsecured debt with a maturity date before the Credit Facility termination date. Simultaneously, $300 million of commitments related to the Bridge Facility were

permanently terminated resulting in $800 million remaining under the facility. On August 7, 2018, the commitments with respect to the Bridge Facility were reduced to zero in connection with a new credit agreement to obtain term loans (Term Loans) in an aggregate principal amount of $800 million due in one, three and five-year terms.
On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement in connection with the offer and sale of $175 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.500% Senior Notes due 2048 (2048 Notes). The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $26.25 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 2048 Notes to cover over-allotments, if any (Additional Notes). On October 12, 2018, the underwriters notified the Company that they exercised their option to purchase $10 million aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes, at the public offering price, plus accrued interest, less the underwriting discount. The Company plans to use the proceeds from both the 2048 Notes including the Additional Notes to retire a portion of the Term Loans.
Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to meet the Company's short-term and long-term needs.
Refer to Note 16 – Debt in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial statements for further details.
The Company has executed share repurchases against authorizations approved by the Board of Directors in 2014 and 2016. In 2018, the Company repurchased $75 million of stock under these authorizations and, as of September 29, 2018, the remaining authorization was $35 million. The Company is suspending share repurchases until the second half of 2019 to focus on debt retirement and completing the Fitness business separation.
On October 16, 2018 the Company raised its quarterly dividend payments by 10 percent, with the increased dividend payment impacting cash flows beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Net working capital activity is projected to reflect a usage of cash in 2018 in the range of $10 million to $30 million. Additionally, the Company is planning for capital expenditures of approximately $200 million to $220 million for the full year, reflecting increased investments in capacity to support growth, continued investments in product leadership as well as our decision to increase investment as a result of cash benefits from U.S. tax reform. Including the factors mentioned above and other factors, and also excluding the after-tax cash impact of winding down Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations and the after-tax cash payments related to the planned Fitness business separation, the Company plans to generate free cash flow in excess of $220 million.
The Company contributed $160.0 million to its qualified pension plans in the first nine months of 2018 compared with $55.0 million in the first nine months of 2017. The increase in contributions is consistent with the Company's accelerated de-risking plan and previously announced actions. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company initiated actions to terminate the Brunswick Pension Plan For Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees and the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees, effective October 31, 2018. All benefits are expected to be paid during 2019, either through a lump-sum payment or annuity offerings. As a result, the over-funded positions for both plans are currently recorded within Prepaid expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. There is a residual funding requirement of up to $30 million in pre-tax funding to fully exit the plans, which the Company intends to complete in 2019. This amount may be adjusted for several factors, including market conditions, pension funding regulations and Company discretion.
The Company also contributed $2.7 million and $3.1 million to fund benefit payments in its nonqualified pension plan during the first nine months of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and expects to contribute approximately $1 million of additional funding to the plan through the remainder of 2018. Company contributions are subject to change based on market conditions, pension funding regulations and Company discretion.
Income Taxes
The Company expects its cash tax rate to be in the low-single digit percentage range in 2018, reflecting the recently enacted TCJA which reduced the U.S federal statutory rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. This also includes benefits from an income tax refund, deductions resulting from planned capital spending and increased pension contributions.
Additionally, as a result of the TCJA, specifically the imposition of a one-time deemed repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, the Company reevaluated its indefinite reinvestment assertion as of December 31, 2017 and has since determined that certain non-U.S. subsidiaries will remain permanently reinvested. As a result of the TCJA, the Company has implemented a plan to remit cash back to the U.S. in 2018 from non-U.S. subsidiaries. No additional U.S. federal tax liability has been incurred, or is expected to be incurred, related to these remittances. The Company is continuing to analyze the effects of

the TCJA including the impact on future repatriations and any related withholding taxes from non-U.S. subsidiaries. Future repatriations could result in additional funds to execute the Company's capital strategy.
Financial Services
On February 16, 2018, the Company, through its Brunswick Financial Services Corporation subsidiary, entered into an amended and restated joint venture agreement with CDF Ventures, LLC, a subsidiary of Wells Fargo and Company, to extend the term of their financial services joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC), through December 31, 2022. BAC is detailed further in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations, as of December 31, 2017, are detailed in the 2017 Form 10-K. As a result of the issuance of $800 million of Term Loans in the third quarter of 2018, the Company's contractual obligation for future principal payments of debt has changed from those presented in the 2017 Form 10-K. Refer to Note 16 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. There have been no other material changes in these arrangements and obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2017.
Environmental Regulation
There were no material changes in the Company's environmental regulatory requirements since the filing of its 2017 Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies

Actual results may differ from those estimates.
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Refer to Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2 – Revenue Recognition in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the adoption of the standard and the impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into various hedging transactions to mitigate these risks in accordance with guidelines established by the Company’s management. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s risk management objectives are described in Note 6 – Financial Instruments in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes 1 and 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K.
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s market risk since December 31, 2017. For a discussion of exposure to market risk, refer to Part II, Item 7A – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, set forth in the 2017 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), the Company has evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The Company implemented internal controls to ensure adequate evaluation of contracts and proper assessment of the impact of the new accounting standard related to revenue recognition (ASC 606) on the financial statements to facilitate the adoption and implementation on January 1, 2018. Ther e were no material changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting due to the adoption of the new standard. On August 9, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of Power Products. Our management is in the process of reviewing the operations of Power Products, and implementing our internal control structure over the operations of the recently acquired entity; however, we will elect to exclude Power Products when conducting our annual evaluation of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, as permitted by applicable regulations. Except for the preceding changes, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
