Brunswick Corporation reported strong second quarter 2026 results, with net sales of $1,557.8 million, up 8 percent from a year earlier. GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations rose to $1.66 and as adjusted diluted EPS to $1.56, increases of 84 percent and 34 percent, respectively.
All major segments grew sales, with Engine Parts & Accessories and Navico Group showing notable margin expansion. Cash and marketable securities were $299.7 million and free cash flow for the first half was $160.7 million. Management plans to retire at least $160 million of debt in 2026 and has repurchased $35 million of shares year-to-date. Full-year 2026 guidance now calls for net sales of $5.7 billion to $5.8 billion, adjusted operating margin of about 8.0 percent, adjusted diluted EPS of $4.35 to $4.75, free cash flow of $400 million or more, and third quarter revenue of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion with adjusted EPS of $1.20 to $1.40.
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.
Brunswick Corporation furnished an update announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025, which are detailed in a separate news release attached as Exhibit 99.1.
The company highlights several non-GAAP measures, including diluted EPS as adjusted, adjusted operating earnings, free cash flow, and constant currency net sales, explaining how each metric is derived and why management finds them useful for evaluating ongoing business performance. The information is furnished rather than filed and is not automatically incorporated into other securities filings.
Brunswick Corporation reported early tender results for its cash tender offer for its outstanding $300 million 5.100% Senior Notes due 2052. The company increased the maximum aggregate principal amount it is willing to purchase under the offer from $50 million to $100 million, referred to as the Tender Cap.
By the Early Tender Deadline of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 25, 2025, holders had validly tendered and not validly withdrawn $111 million aggregate principal amount of these notes. Because this amount exceeds the Tender Cap, Brunswick will purchase only $100 million of notes and apply a proration rate of approximately 90.2%, subject to minimum denominations. Settlement of accepted notes is expected on December 1, 2025, and no notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted, although the offer remains scheduled to expire on December 11, 2025 unless extended or earlier terminated.
