"All of our businesses delivered a strong first quarter as the resilient composition of our portfolio, together with proactive pipeline management, well-received new products, the benefits of executed and ongoing structural cost reduction measures, and efficient execution resulted in first quarter


                                
financial performance ahead of expectations despite the challenging macro environment," said Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Foulkes. "Year to date unit retail sales for our core and premium boat brands and product-lines are in-line with our expectations for a second-half biased year, but we are seeing some weakness in entry-level products, prompting us to consider streamlining our product offerings in the entry-level space while growing Freedom Boat Club as an alternative participation model. Early season boat shows are essentially complete, with retail performance at shows flat to prior year and in-line with expectations, while overall retail performance in the quarter resulted in appropriate boat field inventory levels as we enter the primary retail season. Lastly, we had outstanding free cash flow generation in the quarter, leveraging the inventory and other working capital initiatives started last year, resulting in the second best first quarter cash flow in more than a decade, and a $160 million improvement versus Q1 2024. This cash performance further solidifies our balance sheet and enabled slightly higher than planned share repurchases during the quarter.

Our propulsion business delivered sequentially improved sales and operating earnings versus the fourth quarter of 2024, although below first quarter 2024 levels, as anticipated. Mercury's outboard engine lineup continues to take market share, gaining 40 basis points of U.S. retail share on a rolling twelve-month basis, with indications of a strong April performance following significant share increases at 2025 boat shows. Sales to U.S. boat OEMs were strong as our customer builders increased production levels ahead of the primary retail season and engine pipelines remain at appropriate levels.

Our engine parts and accessories business had another strong quarter, with solid year-over-year earnings and margin growth despite slightly lower sales. This primarily aftermarket-based business continues to derive its success from stable boating participation and the world's largest marine distribution network, which delivered sales growth of 2 percent through continued distribution market share gains resulting from our ability to support same day or next day deliveries to most locations in the world.

Navico Group had flat sales and slightly lower operating earnings versus the first quarter of 2024 as aftermarket sales to dealers and retailers remained strong, but OEM orders were pressured. Navico Group delivered sequential sales growth versus fourth quarter 2024 as its exciting, recently launched new products continue to gain momentum and market acceptance.


                                

Finally, our boat business had sales and operating earnings below the first quarter of 2024, consistent with lower planned wholesale shipments, but sales grew mid-single digits versus fourth quarter 2024 as anticipated. Our Boat Group teams are working hard to reduce product costs and protect margins in an environment with limited pricing opportunities. Freedom Boat Club continues to expand globally in premier boating locations and deliver steady membership sales growth, and early-season member boat usage trends continue to be strong with trips up 3 percent sequentially in the first quarter.

Our first quarter results again demonstrated the resiliency of our portfolio, with our recurring revenue businesses and channels, including our Engine P&A business, Propulsion’s repower business, Freedom Boat Club, and Navico Group's aftermarket sales, contributing nearly 60 percent of our first quarter adjusted operating earnings. In addition, our businesses delivered strong cash flow and we completed $26 million in share repurchases in the quarter, maintaining our commitment to return value to shareholders," Foulkes concluded.

2025 First Quarter Results

For the first quarter of 2025, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,221.8 million, down from $1,365.0 million in the first quarter of 2024. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $0.30 on a GAAP basis and $0.56 on an as adjusted basis. First quarter sales were below prior year as the impact of continued lower wholesale ordering by dealers and OEMs and prudent pipeline management, was only partially offset by modest annual price increases and benefits from well-received new products. Operating earnings were down versus prior year as a result of the impact of lower sales, lower absorption from decreased production levels, and the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by new product momentum, annual price increases, and ongoing cost control measures throughout the enterprise. In addition, versus the first quarter of 2024:
Propulsion segment reported a 16 percent decrease in sales resulting from the enterprise factors listed above, while operating earnings were below prior year primarily due to lower sales and the impact of lower absorption from decreased production levels, partially offset by cost control measures. Sales and operating earnings both grew sequentially versus fourth quarter 2024 as OEMs continue to balance inventory ahead of the primary season.


                                
Engine Parts and Accessories segment reported a 3 percent decrease in sales versus the same period last year due to slightly lower shipments. Sales from the Products business were down 9 percent, while the Distribution business sales were up 2 percent compared to prior year. Segment operating margin was seasonally strong at 15 percent, up more than 100 basis points versus prior year resulting from the efficient operation of the business, and slightly lower cost inflation.
Navico Group segment reported sequentially stronger sales versus fourth quarter 2024 and a sales decrease of 1 percent versus Q1 2024, primarily driven by reduced sales to marine OEMs resulting from lower customer boat OEM production levels, mostly offset by strong aftermarket sales and new product momentum. Segment operating earnings decreased due to the lower sales.
Boat segment reported a 13 percent decrease in sales resulting from anticipated cautious wholesale ordering patterns by dealers, which was only partially offset by the favorable impact of modest model-year price increases. Freedom Boat Club had another strong quarter, contributing approximately 11 percent of segment sales including the benefits from recent acquisitions. Segment operating earnings were within expectations as the impact of net sales declines and lower absorption from the reduced production was partially offset by pricing and continued cost control.
Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash and marketable securities totaled $305.5 million at the end of the first quarter, up $18.8 million from 2024 year-end levels.
Net cash used for operating activities of continuing operations during the first three months of the year was $13.4 million including net earnings net of non-cash items and the impact of working capital.
Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash provided of $42.9 million during the first three months of 2025 including $266.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt, net of $126.1 million of repayments of long-term debt, $37.7 million of capital expenditures, $28.2 million of dividend payments, and $25.6 million of share repurchases.


                                
2025 Outlook

"As we enter the prime retail season in the U.S., we are keenly aware of the direct impact of tariffs on our business and the new uncertainties faced by our wholesale customers, channel partners, and the end-consumers who buy our products at retail around the world. Although we cannot control the ever-changing conditions in which we do business, we can control our response and continue to push forward our strategic initiatives. In this regard, we plan to continue to: invest in new products and technologies, including many to be launched this year; drive differentiation and market share gains for our brands; work closely and dynamically with our channel partners to maintain healthy and appropriate boat, engine and parts pipelines and support them with appropriate incentive programs to stimulate demand; mitigate the direct tariff impact on our business; and maintain optionality through supply chain actions, including targeted onshoring. We are also evaluating opportunities to improve profitability and cash flow through rationalization of our manufacturing footprint, incremental COGS and operating expense reductions, and ongoing capital management.

In these challenging conditions, our resilient, recurring revenue businesses and channels continue demonstrating their earnings and cash flow power, which is helping to mitigate the impacts of market conditions. That being said, there remains significant uncertainty related to our 2025 performance and guidance, primarily due to the uncertainties of trade policy, the direct and indirect impact of these uncertainties on our consumers, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, and the interest rate environment. Using our best estimates related to these items and all other business impacts, the following is our updated full-year guidance:
1.Net sales between $5.0 billion and $5.4 billion;
2.Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $2.50 - $4.00;
3.Free Cash Flow in excess of $350 million; and
4.Second quarter 2025 revenue of between $1.1 to $1.3 billion, and adjusted diluted EPS of
between $0.80 and $1.10."



                                
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.

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.
