Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Brunswick Corporation delivered a strong start to 2026 with first quarter results ahead of the prior year and increased full-year guidance. Net sales rose to $1,378.1 million, up 13% versus Q1 2025, driven by higher demand across propulsion, engine parts and accessories, Navico Group, and boats. GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations was $0.32, while as adjusted diluted EPS reached $0.70, up 25%, helped by favorable mix and cost control despite higher tariffs and investment spending.
On an adjusted basis, operating earnings increased to $82.6 million with adjusted operating margin of 6.0%, slightly above last year. Propulsion, Engine Parts & Accessories, Navico Group, and Boat segments all grew sales, with especially strong adjusted earnings growth in Engine Parts & Accessories, Navico Group, and Boat. Free cash flow was negative $116.8 million as seasonal working capital needs and higher capital spending outweighed earnings.
Management raised 2026 guidance, now expecting net sales of $5.65–$5.8 billion, adjusted operating margin of 7.5–8.0%, adjusted diluted EPS of $4.00–$4.50, and free cash flow of at least $350 million. Second quarter 2026 revenue is projected at $1.45–$1.55 billion with adjusted diluted EPS of $1.10–$1.20, reflecting confidence in stable demand, continued share gains, and operating leverage.

free cash flow financial
"Brunswick defines free cash flow as cash flow from operating and investing activities of continuing operations..."
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
adjusted operating margin financial
"Adjusted operating margin increased to 6.0 % from 5.9 %"
Adjusted operating margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core business activities, after removing unusual or one-time costs and income. It helps investors see the company's true profitability by providing a clearer picture, similar to removing unexpected expenses to understand the regular performance. This metric is useful for comparing companies or tracking performance over time, as it highlights consistent earning power.
purchase accounting amortization financial
"exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to acquisitions, among other adjustments"
IEEPA tariffs regulatory
"During the quarter, IEEPA tariffs were repealed and replaced with Section 122."
Measures labeled as IEEPA tariffs are trade restrictions or charges imposed under the U.S. International Emergency Economic Powers Act, a law that lets the government respond to national emergencies with economic tools. For investors, these actions are like suddenly adding a toll to certain imports, exports or transactions: they can raise costs, disrupt supply chains, limit market access, and change a company’s revenue or risk profile overnight.
Section 232 tariff regulatory
"More recently, Section 232 tariff applications were amended."
A section 232 tariff is a government-imposed tax on imported goods that a country can apply when it judges those imports threaten national security; think of it as a surcharge meant to protect critical domestic industries. For investors, such tariffs can raise costs for companies that rely on affected imports, reshape supply chains, change competitive dynamics, and therefore affect revenue, profit margins and share prices.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On April 30, 2026, Brunswick Corporation (“Brunswick”) announced its financial results for the first quarter 2026. The news release Brunswick issued announcing its first quarter 2026 earnings is incorporated herein by reference and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
In the news release, Brunswick uses non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. 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 operations, 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. Operating and statistical measures and certain ratios and other statistical measures are not non-GAAP financial measures.
Brunswick has used certain of the financial measures that are included in the news release for several years, both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Brunswick’s management believes that the measures presented (including those that are non-GAAP financial measures) and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tools that Brunswick uses and to better evaluate Brunswick’s ongoing business performance.
The measure diluted earnings per common share (EPS), as adjusted, is believed to be useful to investors because it represents a measure of Brunswick’s earnings, without the impact of certain charges that do not reflect the Company's ongoing business performance. Brunswick defines this measure as diluted earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations, excluding the earnings per share impact of purchase accounting amortization; supplier bankruptcy expense; restructuring, exit, and impairment charges; gain on sale of assets; loss on early extinguishment of debt; special tax items; and other applicable charges. Brunswick’s management also believes that the measure adjusted operating earnings is useful to investors because it provides a necessary and important perspective on Brunswick's operating performance and improves comparability of performance against prior periods. Brunswick defines adjusted operating earnings as operating earnings (loss), excluding the earnings impact of purchase accounting amortization; supplier bankruptcy expense; restructuring, exit, and impairment charges; gain on sale of assets; acquisition, integration, and IT-related costs; and other applicable charges. Brunswick’s management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure free cash flow is useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives. Brunswick 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) and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. 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 restructuring, exit, and impairment charges, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.
To reflect the impact of changes in currency exchange rates on net sales, Brunswick may use constant currency reporting. To present this information, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated to U.S. dollars using prior year exchange rates for the comparative period, using the average exchange rates in effect during that period. The percentage change in net sales expressed on a constant currency basis may better reflect changes in the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The information in this report and the exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

“Brunswick delivered an excellent start to 2026, building on the market recovery in
the second half of last year, with first quarter results ahead of expectations and prior year despite the dynamic geopolitical and tariff environment,” said David Foulkes, Brunswick Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. “For the third consecutive quarter, year over year net sales increased across all segments, driven by steady retail trends, continued market share gains, strong OEM demand, accelerated new product and technology introductions, and disciplined operational execution across the enterprise.
Boat retail performance continued to stabilize, with overall first quarter global unit retail approximately flat compared to the relatively strong first quarter of last year and premium sales up. This marked the third consecutive quarter of improved relative retail performance, reinforcing our confidence in a flat-to-slightly improved retail market environment as the year progresses. Strong boating participation continued to support increased sales in our recurring revenue parts and accessories, aftermarket, and subscription boating businesses.
From an inventory perspective, conditions remain exceptionally healthy. Boat and engine pipelines continue to be lean and well aligned with underlying demand, reflecting our deliberate approach to matching wholesale shipments to retail sales. Global boat pipelines were down year over year and flat sequentially, positioning both Brunswick and our dealers well heading into the prime selling season.
In our core U.S. market, product demand and boating participation remain relatively unaffected by the conflict in the Middle East, although the health of the value consumer remains a focus. We have a small direct exposure to Middle East markets but are monitoring trends in Australia and New Zealand and other more exposed markets as oil supply tightens. Our high exposure to the most insulated markets, particularly the U.S. and Canada, which account for more than 70 percent of our total sales, balanced portfolio, lean channel inventories, and operational discipline position us strongly to effectively navigate the macroeconomic volatility.
Our Propulsion business delivered a very strong quarter, with significant year over year sales growth driven by robust OEM demand and continued share gains. Mercury Marine maintained industry-leading positions globally, highlighted by record share at major boat shows and a 200 basis point increase in U.S. outboard market share in the quarter. The powerful operating performance of the business helped to minimize the expected impact from incremental tariffs and incremental product investment on operating earnings.
Engine Parts and Accessories delivered another solid quarter with increased sales and operating margin over the prior year, benefiting from healthy boating participation and continued distribution share gains. This high-margin, recurring-revenue business continues to provide earnings stability and strong cash generation through the cycle.
Navico Group continued its strong performance trend, growing sales and operating margin in the quarter, evidencing the transition from stabilization to growth. Sales increased across all business lines, supported by new product launches, improving OEM and distribution demand, and strong operational execution. Margin expansion in the quarter reflected both solid operating leverage and the benefits from our continued business performance improvement actions.
In our Boat segment, improved retail conditions and disciplined wholesale alignment drove growth in sales and operating margin, alongside continued momentum in our Business Acceleration portfolio. Freedom Boat Club continued to increase its memberships, trips, and locations and, earlier this month, we completed the acquisition of the largest remaining franchise club in the Freedom network that serves the Boston and Cape Cod region. The acquisition will be immediately accretive to earnings.
Finally, we continued to execute our disciplined capital allocation strategy, delivering our fourteenth consecutive annual dividend increase and repurchasing $20 million in shares year to date, underscoring our commitment to returning capital to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
Overall, the first quarter demonstrated the strength of our operating model, the benefits of our portfolio mix, the strength of our brands, and our ability to deliver solid financial performance and share gains in a still evolving external environment,” Foulkes concluded.
2026 First Quarter Results
For the first quarter of 2026, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,378.1 million, an increase of 13 percent versus the first quarter of 2025. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $0.32 on a GAAP basis and $0.70 on an as adjusted basis, an increase of 25 percent versus the first quarter of 2025.
Sales growth reflected improved wholesale and retail trends, continued market share gains in propulsion and several boat categories, strong OEM demand for propulsion, components and electronics, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, pricing actions commencing in the second half of 2025, and solid boating participation driving aftermarket performance. Strong earnings growth in the quarter was supported by the increased sales, favorable mix, improved absorption, and disciplined cost management more than offsetting the impact of incremental tariffs implemented after the first quarter of last year.
Additionally, versus the first quarter of 2025:
Propulsion segment reported a 17 percent increase in sales resulting primarily from strong OEM orders, wholesale acceleration, and continued global share gains. Segment adjusted operating earnings and margin were lower, as the benefits from higher sales and improved absorption were slightly more offset by incremental tariffs and planned accelerated investments in new product development.
Engine Parts and Accessories segment reported a 14 percent increase in sales led by healthy boater participation, driving a 15 percent increase in the products business and a 13 percent increase in the distribution business further supported by continued distribution market share gains. Segment adjusted operating earnings increased 24 percent reflecting the segment’s robust operating leverage.
Navico Group segment reported a 7 percent increase in sales with growth across all business lines supported by improving OEM demand, steady aftermarket performance, and operational efficiency. Segment adjusted operating earnings increased 64 percent and adjusted operating margin increased by 280 basis points reflecting the progressive benefits of product portfolio optimization, operational improvements, and disciplined cost control actions which more than offset incremental tariffs.
Boat segment reported a 6 percent increase in sales driven by higher wholesale shipments and stabilized retail conditions, favorable mix, and continued momentum in the Business Acceleration portfolio. Segment adjusted operating earnings increased 63 percent, reflecting the leverage from
higher sales and favorable mix. Freedom Boat Club continued to deliver strong growth in key metrics including the number of trips which increased 20 percent to start the year.
Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash and marketable securities totaled $289.3 million at the end of the first quarter, up $13.6 million from 2025 year-end levels.
Net cash used for operating activities of continuing operations during the first three months of 2026 was $63.7 million, primarily reflecting operating results and changes in working capital.
Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash provided of $78.3 million during the first three months of 2026 primarily due to $195.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt, net of $57.2 million of capital expenditures, $28.7 million of dividend payments, and $16.2 million of share repurchases.
2026 Outlook
“As we enter the core retail selling season in the U.S., we are encouraged by the stable market conditions and by the strength of our first quarter performance,” said David Foulkes. “We believe steady dealer and customer sentiment, exceptionally healthy and lean pipelines, disciplined wholesale‑to‑retail alignment, and sustained boating participation are sources of confidence as we move through the remainder of 2026.
While direct sales and operational impacts remain limited, heightened geopolitical volatility has introduced new uncertainties. Rate cuts enacted late in 2025 are supporting improved retail and floorplan financing as we enter the peak selling season with recent rate volatility having no clear impact on demand. While expectations for incremental rate relief have moderated, our forecast does not rely on additional cuts. Fuel prices have risen recently due to geopolitical events but generally remain within historical bounds and we are not experiencing any meaningful impact on retail or OEM demand or on boating participation, which remains strong.
The tariff environment remains dynamic. During the quarter, IEEPA tariffs were repealed and replaced with Section 122. More recently, Section 232 tariff applications were amended. Based on current regulations, we believe that our full-year incremental net tariff impact will ultimately land near
the lower end of our original $35 to $45 million estimate shared at the beginning of the year. Potential refunds related to previously paid IEEPA tariffs are not yet factored into our outlook.
Our operating priorities remain clear. We are focused on closely aligning production and wholesale with retail demand, driving continued market share gains, maintaining disciplined cost control, and investing in product innovation, technology, and system‑level integration across our portfolio. Recurring‑revenue and aftermarket businesses remain a key strength, supported by sustained boater participation, and are expected to continue to provide consistent earnings and cash generation,” said Foulkes.
“Using our best estimates related to these items and all other business impacts, the following is our updated full-year guidance:
1.Net sales: $5.65 billion to $5.8 billion;
2.Adjusted operating margin: 7.5 percent to 8.0 percent;
3.Adjusted diluted EPS: $4.00 to $4.50;
4.Free cash flow: $350 million or more; and
5.Second quarter 2026 revenue of $1.45 billion to $1.55 billion, and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.10 to $1.20.
This outlook reflects our confidence in expected continued share gains, broad-based revenue growth, and strong operating leverage in a flat-to-slightly-improving market environment.
Finally, I hope that you will join us on Tuesday, August 11th at our Mercury Marine headquarters in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin for Brunswick’s 2026 Investor Day. We will host a live Q&A with Brunswick leadership, tour our Mercury Marine facilities and offer opportunities to experience our products on the water. In advance of the event, a pre-recorded video strategy presentation will be published to our website," Foulkes concluded.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this release, including adjusted operating earnings, adjusted operating margin, free cash flow, and adjusted diluted EPS, is provided in the reconciliation sections of the consolidated financial statements accompanying this release.
In order to better align Brunswick's reported results with the internal metrics used by Brunswick's management to evaluate business performance as well as to provide better comparisons to prior periods and peer data, non-GAAP measures used in this release exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to acquisitions, among other adjustments.
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 restructuring, exit and impairment costs, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.
