Acquisitions | Acquisitions 2021 Acquisitions - Navico On October 4, 2021, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Marine Innovations Group AS, known as "Navico," for $1.094 billion net cash consideration. The Company used a combination of the Notes, as described in Note 16 – Debt, and cash on hand to fund the acquisition. Navico was a privately held global company based in Egersund, Norway, and is a global leader in marine electronics and sensors, including multi-function displays, fish finders, autopilots, sonar, radar, and cartography. The acquisition of Navico accelerates the Company's ACES (Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification, and Shared access) strategy and strengthens the Company's ability to provide complete, innovative digital solutions to consumers and comprehensive, integrated system offerings to our original equipment manufacturer customers. Navico is managed as part of the Company's Parts & Accessories segment. The Company used the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with Brunswick being the acquiring entity, and reflecting 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 $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net sales and operating loss, respectively, of Navico included in Brunswick's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition were $120.4 million and $7.4 million, which includes $9.0 million of expense related to inventory fair value adjustments and $5.8 million of intangible asset amortization, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

(A) The goodwill recorded for the acquisition of Navico is partially deductible for tax purposes. Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited) The pro forma information has been prepared as if the Navico acquisition and the related debt financing had occurred on January 1, 2020. 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, 2020 and are not necessarily indicative of Brunswick's consolidated net earnings in future periods. The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets of $23 million and interest expense on the Notes as defined in Note 16 – Debt. Additionally, the pro forma adjustments include transaction costs of $13.8 million and expense related to inventory fair value adjustments of $18.1 million recognized as part of the application of purchase accounting, which are non-recurring.

Pro forma Net sales | $ | 6,212.3 |  |  | $ | 4,694.0 |
Pro forma Net earnings | 633.6 |  |  | 322.4 |

Other 2021 Acquisitions On September 1, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the net assets of RELiON Battery, LLC ("RELiON"). RELiON is a global provider of lithium batteries and related products to multiple industry sectors. The acquisition of RELiON complements the Company's existing portfolio of advanced battery and power management brands. On September 17, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the net assets of SemahTronix, LLC, a global supplier of high-complexity electrical wiring harnesses for advanced products in the marine, mobile, and defense industries. The acquisition of the SemahTronix assets enhances the Company's integrated systems offerings by providing the Company's ASG organization and the Company's global customers access to high-quality, large, complex electrical wire harnessing systems that further enable the Company's end-to-end systems solutions and capabilities. These acquisitions are included as part of the Parts & Accessories segment. On July 9, 2021, the Company acquired Fanautic Club, one of the largest European boat clubs with 23 locations in major coastal cities and tourist centers across Spain. The Company also acquired certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights in the United States during 2021. Acquiring such assets enables Brunswick to accelerate growth by increasing its investments in these markets. These acquisitions are included as part of the Boat segment. The Company paid net cash consideration of $66.2 million for these acquisitions. The opening balance sheets, which are preliminary and subject to change within the measurement period as the Company finalizes the purchase price allocation and fair value estimates, include $36.4 million of goodwill and $24.1 million of identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships and trade names of $17.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions of $1.8 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense during 2021. The acquisitions are not material to our net sales, results of operations or total assets during any period presented. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of the acquisitions, and pro forma results are not presented. 2019 Acquisition On May 21, 2019, the Company acquired 100 percent of Freedom Boat Club, a leading boat club operator based in Florida. The acquisition expanded the Company's presence and scale within the emerging and fast-growing boat club market, providing its members access to a fleet of boats. Freedom Boat Club is included as part of the Boat segment. The net cash consideration the Company paid to acquire Freedom Boat Club was $64.1 million, in addition to acquisition-related transaction costs of $2.5 million, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The final opening balance sheet included $29.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships, franchise agreements and trade names of $11.1 million, $4.9 million and $13.2 million, respectively, along with $27.3 million of goodwill, most of which is deductible for tax purposes. Included in the goodwill amount is $0.9 million of purchase accounting adjustments, primarily related to deferred taxes recorded in the year ended December 31, 2020. The amount assigned to Freedom Boat Club's customer relationships and franchise agreements will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately 10 years and 15 years, respectively. The 2019 Freedom Boat Club acquisition was not material to the Company's net sales, results of operations or total assets during any period presented. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated results from operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of this acquisition and, therefore, pro forma results are not presented.
