Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Data | Segment Information Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine P&A, Navico Group and Boat to align with our internal operating structure. The Company's segments are defined by management's reporting structure and operating activities. The Company's reportable segments are the following: Propulsion. The Propulsion segment manufactures and markets a full range of outboard, sterndrive, and inboard engines, as well as propulsion-related controls, rigging, and propellers. These products are principally sold directly to boat builders, including Brunswick's Boat segment, and through marine retail dealers worldwide. The Propulsion segment primarily markets under the Mercury, Mercury MerCruiser, Mariner, Mercury Racing, Mercury Diesel, Avator and Fliteboard brands. The segment's engine manufacturing plants are located mainly in the United States and China, along with a joint venture in Japan, with sales mainly to markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Engine P&A. The Engine P&A segment manufactures, markets, supplies and distributes products for both marine and non-marine markets. These products are designed for and sold mostly to aftermarket retailers, distributors, and distribution businesses, as well as original equipment manufacturers (including Brunswick brands). Company-branded products include consumables, such as engine oils and lubricants, and are sold under the Mercury, Mercury Precision Parts, Quicksilver and Seachoice brands. The Engine P&A segment also includes distribution businesses such as Land 'N' Sea, Kellogg Marine Supply, Lankhorst Taselaar, BLA and Payne's Marine Group, which distribute third party and Company products. These businesses are leading distributors of marine parts and accessories throughout North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The segment's manufacturing and distribution facilities are primarily located in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Navico Group. The Navico Group segment designs, develops, manufactures, and markets products and systems for the marine, RV, specialty vehicle, mobile and industrial markets, as well as aftermarket channels. Navico Group's brand portfolio includes the Ancor, Attwood, B&G, BEP, Blue Sea Systems, C-MAP, CZone, Lenco, Lowrance, Marinco, Mastervolt, MotorGuide, Progressive Industries, ProMariner, RELiON, Simrad and Whale brand names. These brands span multiple categories, including marine electronics, sensors, control systems, instruments, power systems and general accessories. The segment's manufacturing and distribution facilities are primarily located in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Boat. The Boat segment designs, manufactures, and markets the following boat brands and products: Sea Ray sport boats and cruisers; Bayliner sport cruisers, runabouts, and Heyday wake boats; Boston Whaler fiberglass offshore boats; Lund fiberglass fishing boats; Crestliner, Harris, Lowe, Lund and Princecraft aluminum fishing, utility, pontoon boats, and deck boats; Thunder Jet heavy-gauge aluminum boats; and Veer recreational and fishing boats designed specifically to support electric propulsion. The Boat segment also includes Brunswick boat brands based in Europe and Asia-Pacific, which include Quicksilver, Navan, Rayglass (including Protector and Legend) and Uttern. The Boat segment procures substantially all of its engines from Brunswick's Propulsion segment, and boats often include other parts and accessories supplied by the Engine P&A and Navico Group segments. The Boat segment's products are manufactured mainly in the United States, Europe, Mexico and Canada and sold through a global network of dealer and distributor locations, primarily in North America and Europe. The Boat segment also includes Business Acceleration which, through innovative service models, shared access solutions, including the Freedom Boat Club business acquired in 2019, dealer services and emerging technology, aims to provide exceptional experiences to attract a wide range of customers to the marine industry and shape the future of boating. The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating earnings. Segment operating earnings do not include the expenses of corporate administration, impairments or gains on the sale of equity investments, earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, other expenses and income of a non-operating nature, transaction financing charges, interest expense and income or provisions or benefits for income taxes. Corporate/Other results include items such as corporate staff and administrative costs, investments in technology solutions, business development and other growth-related expenses, including IT enhancements. Corporate/Other total assets consist of mainly cash, cash equivalents and investments in short-term marketable securities, restricted cash, income tax balances and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Segment eliminations adjust for sales between the Company's reportable segments and primarily relate to the sale of engines and parts and accessories to various boat brands, which are consummated at established arm's length transfer prices as the intersegment pricing for these engines and parts and accessories are based upon and consistent with selling prices to third-party customers. Information about the operations of Brunswick's reportable segments is set forth below:
