Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. Therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted. As stated in Note 2 – Discontinued Operations, Brunswick's results as discussed in the financial statements reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brunswick’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the 2015 Form 10-K). These results include, in management's opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly Brunswick's financial position as of July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015, the results of operations for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015, and the cash flows for the six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015. Due to the seasonality of Brunswick’s businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.

The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The first two quarters of fiscal year 2016 ended on April 2, 2016 and July 2, 2016, and the first two quarters of fiscal year 2015 ended on April 4, 2015 and July 4, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. The following are recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during 2016, or will be adopted in future periods.

Share-Based Compensation: In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to simplify the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions. Amendments related to the timing of excess tax benefit recognition, minimum statutory withholding requirements and forfeitures will be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Amendments to certain classifications on the statement of cash flows may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively, and amendments requiring the recognition of excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement are to be applied prospectively. These amendments are to be applied for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the approach it will use to apply the new standard and the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recognition of Leases: In February 2016, the FASB amended the ASC to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Lessees will recognize expenses similar to current lease accounting. The amendment is to be applied using a modified retrospective method with certain practical expedients, and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the approach it will use to apply the new standard and the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Classification of Deferred Income Taxes: In November 2015, the FASB amended the ASC to require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. The amendment may be applied either retrospectively or prospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods thereafter, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.

The Company early adopted this ASC amendment during the first quarter of 2016 which caused the Company to change its method of presentation for current deferred income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. Current deferred income tax assets of $180.5 million and $206.3 million as of December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015, respectively, were reclassified to long-term.

Measurement of Inventory: In July 2015, the FASB issued final guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventories by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The guidance applies to inventories for which cost is determined by methods other than LIFO and the retail inventory method. The amendment is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASC amendment, but does not expect it will have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosure: In May 2015, the FASB amended the ASC to update the presentation of certain investments measured at net asset value within the fair value hierarchy. The amendment requires these investments to be removed from the fair value hierarchy categorization and presented as a single reconciling line item between the fair value of investments reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the amounts reported in the fair value hierarchy table. The amendment is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this amendment in 2016 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued a final standard on revenue recognition which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. This standard will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance. Under the new standard, entities are required to identify the contract with a customer; identify the separate performance obligations in the contract; determine the transaction price; allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract; and recognize the appropriate amount of revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies each performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB amended the ASC to delay the effective date to fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2018, from the original effective date of January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted no earlier than January 1, 2017. Entities have the option of using either retrospective transition or a modified approach in applying the new standard. The Company is currently evaluating the approach it will use to apply the new standard and the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Discontinued Operations

The following table discloses the results of operations of the businesses reported as discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015:

Note 3 – Restructuring and Integration Activities

The Company acquired Cybex International, Inc. (Cybex) in the first quarter of 2016 as discussed in Note 4 –Acquisitions, and executed certain restructuring and integration activities within the Fitness segment related to the acquisition, resulting in the recognition of restructuring and integration charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during 2016.

The following table is a summary of the expense associated with the Fitness segment restructuring and integration activities for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, as discussed above:



(in millions)	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
Restructuring and integration activities:
Employee termination and other benefits	$	0.2	$	2.1
Professional fees	0.8		2.2
Other	1.6		2.1
Total restructuring and integration charges	$	2.6	$	6.4

During 2016, the Company made cash payments of $4.8 million relating to all restructuring and integration activities, including payments related to prior period restructuring activities. As of July 2, 2016, accruals remaining for all restructuring and integration activities totaled $3.1 million and are expected to be paid substantially during 2016.

Note 4 – Acquisitions

On July 1, 2016, the Company acquired 100 percent of privately held Thunder Jet Boats, Inc. (Thunder Jet), a designer and builder of heavy-gauge aluminum boats, which is based in Clarkston, Washington. Thunder Jet offers a lineup of 18 models ranging in length from 18-26 feet and adds breadth and depth to the Company's overall product portfolio. Thunder Jet is managed within the Company's Boat segment.

The cash consideration the Company paid to acquire Thunder Jet was $20.9 million. Due to the recent timing of the acquisition, the Company recorded $12.2 million of goodwill on a preliminary basis at the end of the second quarter of 2016. These amounts are preliminary and are subject to change within the measurement period as the Company finalizes its fair value estimates, including allocating purchase price to identifiable intangible assets.

On January 20, 2016, the Company acquired 100 percent of privately held Cybex, a leading manufacturer of commercial fitness equipment, which is based in Medway, Massachusetts. Cybex offers a full line of cardiovascular and strength products and had unaudited sales in 2015 of approximately $169 million. The addition of Cybex expands the Fitness segment's participation in key markets, including commercial fitness, and adds to the Company's manufacturing footprint to meet current and future demand more effectively. Cybex also increases the breadth and depth of the segment's product portfolio. Cybex is managed within the Company's Fitness segment.

These acquisitions are 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 these acquisitions and, therefore, pro forma results are not presented.

Note 5 – Financial Instruments

The Company operates globally with manufacturing and sales facilities in various locations around the world. Due to the Company’s global operations, the Company engages in activities involving both financial and market risks. The Company utilizes normal operating and financing activities, along with derivative financial instruments, to minimize these risks.

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risks associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Derivative instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking each hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivatives that are designated as hedges to specific forecasted transactions. The Company also assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and monthly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the anticipated cash flows of the hedged item. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and immediately recognizes the gains and losses associated with those hedges. There were no material adjustments as a result of ineffectiveness to the results of operations for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded. The effects of derivative financial instruments are not expected to be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations when considered together with the underlying exposure being hedged. Use of derivative financial instruments exposes the Company to credit risk with its counterparties when the fair value of a derivative contract is an asset. The Company mitigates this risk by entering into derivative contracts with highly rated counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to counterparty credit risk is limited to the asset value of derivative financial instruments.

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company enters into certain derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company executes both forward and option contracts, based on forecasted transactions, to manage foreign currency exchange exposure mainly related to inventory purchase and sales transactions. The Company also enters into commodity swap agreements based on anticipated purchases of copper and natural gas to manage risk related to price changes. From time-to-time, the Company enters into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the anticipated issuance of debt.

A cash flow hedge requires that as changes in the fair value of derivatives occur, the portion of the change deemed to be effective is recorded temporarily in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, an equity account, and reclassified into earnings in

(unaudited)

the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of July 2, 2016, the term of derivative instruments hedging forecasted transactions ranged from one to 15 months.

Fair Value Hedges. From time-to-time, the Company enters into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from fixed to floating rate debt. An interest rate swap is entered into with the expectation that the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap will offset the change in the fair value of the debt instrument attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. Each period, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swap asset or liability is recorded in debt and the difference between the fixed interest payment and floating interest receipts is recorded as a net adjustment to interest expense.

Other Hedging Activity. The Company has entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts that have not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. These contracts are used to manage foreign currency exposure related to changes in the value of assets or liabilities caused by changes in foreign exchange rates. The change in the fair value of the foreign currency derivative contract and the corresponding change in the fair value of the asset or liability of the Company are both recorded through earnings, each period as incurred. In addition, other hedging activity includes commodity swap agreements that are used to hedge purchases of aluminum. These hedges do not qualify for hedge accounting. The commodity swap agreements are based on anticipated purchases of aluminum and are used to manage risk related to price changes. The change in the fair value of the aluminum derivative contract is recorded through earnings, each period as incurred.

Foreign Currency. The Company enters into forward and option contracts to manage foreign exchange exposure related to forecasted transactions and assets and liabilities that are subject to risk from foreign currency rate changes. These exposures include: product costs; revenues and expenses; associated receivables and payables; intercompany obligations and receivables; and other related cash flows.

Forward exchange contracts outstanding at July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015 had notional contract values of $237.8 million, $273.5 million and $242.7 million, respectively. Option contracts outstanding at July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015 had notional contract values of $55.0 million, $51.0 million and $65.1 million, respectively. The forward and options contracts outstanding at July 2, 2016 mature during 2016 and 2017 and mainly relate to the Euro, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona, Brazilian real, British pound, Norwegian krone, Mexican peso, Hungarian forint and New Zealand dollar. As of July 2, 2016, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $0.2 million of net losses (based on current rates) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.

Interest Rate. The Company enters into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of the Company's long-term debt from fixed to floating rate debt. As of July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015, the outstanding swaps had notional contract values of $200.0 million, of which $150.0 million corresponds to the Company's 4.625 percent Senior notes due 2021 and $50.0 million corresponds to the Company's 7.375 percent Debentures due 2023. These instruments have been designated as fair value hedges, with the fair value recorded in long-term debt.

The Company also enters into forward-starting interest rate swaps from time-to-time to hedge the interest rate risk associated with anticipated debt issuances. There were no forward-starting interest rate swaps outstanding at July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 or July 4, 2015.

As of July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015, the Company had $5.1 million, $5.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of net deferred losses associated with all settled forward-starting interest rate swaps, which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of July 2, 2016, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $1.1 million of net losses resulting from settled forward-starting interest rate swaps from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense.

Commodity Price. The Company uses commodity swaps to hedge anticipated purchases of aluminum, copper and natural gas. Commodity swap contracts outstanding at July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015 had notional contract values of $4.9 million, $10.8 million and $29.9 million, respectively. The contracts outstanding mature through 2016. The amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments is either recorded through earnings each period as incurred or, if designated as cash flow hedges, deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in Cost of sales in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of July 2, 2016, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months it will reclassify approximately $0.1 million in net losses (based on current prices) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and short-term debt approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. At July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $472.8 million, $454.7 million and $462.6 million, respectively, and was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs described in Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements, including quoted market prices or discounted cash flows based on quoted market rates for similar types of debt. The carrying value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $447.3 million, $448.5 million and $450.1 million as of July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015, respectively.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.


•	Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments.


•	Level 3 - Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Note 7 – Share-Based Compensation

Under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (Plan), the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock awards and performance awards to executives, other employees and non-employee directors from treasury shares and from authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock, in addition to any shares reacquired by the Company through the forfeiture of past awards, or settlement of such awards in cash. As of July 2, 2016, 5.3 million shares remained available for grant.

Non-vested stock awards

The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards to key employees as determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company did not grant stock awards during the three months ended July 2, 2016 or July 4, 2015. The Company granted 0.3 million and 0.2 million of stock awards during the six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015, respectively. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards are recorded as a liability in the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, the Company charged $2.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and charged $3.4 million and $7.0 million during the three months and six months ended July 4, 2015, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock awards.

As of July 2, 2016, there was $12.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

Performance awards

In the first half of both 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 0.1 million performance shares to certain senior executives. The 2016 and 2015 share awards are based on three performance measures: a cash flow return on investment (CFROI) measure, an operating margin (OM) measure and a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier. Performance shares are earned based on a three-year performance period commencing at the beginning of the calendar year of each grant. The performance shares are then subject to a TSR modifier based on stock returns measured against stock returns of a predefined comparator group over a three-year performance period which starts at the beginning of the calendar year of each grant. Additionally, in February 2016 and 2015, the Company granted 38,690 and 22,990 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding a TSR modifier. Based on projections of probable attainment of the performance measures and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards, $1.8 million and $3.0 million was charged to compensation expense for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, respectively. In the three months and six months ended July 4, 2015, $2.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, was charged to compensation expense based on projections of profitable attainment of the performance measures and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards.

The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier at the grant date in 2016 and 2015 were $38.54 and $56.17, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:



	2016		2015
Risk-free interest rate	0.8	%	1.0	%
Dividend yield	1.0	%	0.9	%
Volatility factor	40.8	%	39.2	%
Expected life of award	2.9 years		2.9 years

The fair value of the certain officers and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI and OM performance factors was $37.76 and $52.39, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2016 and 2015, respectively, less the present value of dividend payments over the vesting period.

As of July 2, 2016, the Company had $5.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

Director Awards

The Company issues stock awards to non-employee directors in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. A portion of each director’s annual fee is paid in Brunswick common stock, the receipt of which may be deferred until a director retires from the Board of Directors. Each director may elect to have the remaining portion paid in cash, in Brunswick common stock distributed at the time of the award or in deferred Brunswick common stock with a 20 percent premium.

Note 8 – Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing Net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as well as certain vested, unissued equity awards during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated similarly, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of stock-settled SARs, non-vested stock awards and performance awards.

Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015 were calculated as follows:



	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
(in millions, except per share data)	July 2, 2016			July 4, 2015		July 2, 2016		July 4, 2015
Net earnings from continuing operations	$	108.1		$	107.6	$	171.3	$	164.2
Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	(0.0		)	10.2		1.6		10.6
Net earnings	$	108.1		$	117.8	$	172.9	$	174.8

Weighted average outstanding shares – basic	91.5			93.3		91.6		93.6
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents	0.8			1.3		1.0		1.2
Weighted average outstanding shares – diluted	92.3			94.6		92.6		94.8

Basic earnings (loss) per common share:
Continuing operations	$	1.18		$	1.15	$	1.87	$	1.76
Discontinued operations	(0.00		)	0.11		0.02		0.11
Net earnings	$	1.18		$	1.26	$	1.89	$	1.87

Diluted earnings (loss) per common share:
Continuing operations	$	1.17		$	1.14	$	1.85	$	1.73
Discontinued operations	(0.00		)	0.11		0.02		0.11
Net earnings	$	1.17		$	1.25	$	1.87	$	1.84

As of July 2, 2016, the Company had 1.2 million SARs outstanding and exercisable. This compares with 2.3 million SARs outstanding, of which 2.2 million were exercisable, as of July 4, 2015. During both the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015, there were no SARs outstanding for which the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s shares for the period then ended. Therefore, there were no non-dilutive SARs to exclude from the computation of diluted earnings per common share. Changes in average outstanding basic shares from July 4, 2015 to July 2, 2016 reflect the impact of SARs exercised and the vesting of stock and performance awards since the beginning of 2015, net of the impact of common stock repurchases throughout 2015 and the first half of 2016.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

Financial Commitments

The Company has entered into guarantees of indebtedness of third parties, primarily in connection with customer financing programs. Under these arrangements, the Company has guaranteed customer obligations to the financial institutions in the event of customer default, generally subject to a maximum amount that is less than total outstanding obligations. The Company has also extended guarantees to third parties that have purchased customer receivables from the Company and, in certain instances, has guaranteed secured term financing of its customers. Potential payments in connection with these customer financing arrangements generally extend over several years. In most instances, upon repurchase of the receivable or note, the Company receives rights to the collateral securing the financing.

The Company has also entered into arrangements with third-party lenders in which it has agreed, in the event of a customer default, to repurchase from the third-party lender those Brunswick products repossessed from the customer. These arrangements

BRUNSWICK CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The Company’s risk under these repurchase arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction.

The Company has recorded its estimated net liability associated with losses from these guarantee and repurchase obligations on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances. Historical cash requirements and losses associated with these obligations have not been significant, but could increase if dealer defaults exceed current expectations.

Product Warranties

The Company records a liability for product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The liability is estimated using historical warranty experience, projected claim rates and expected costs per claim. The Company adjusts its liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated. Product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure affect the Company's warranty liabilities. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, the Company must make a revision to the warranty liability. Changes in the Company's warranty liabilities due to improvements in the Company's experience and adjustments related to changes in estimates are included as Aggregate changes for preexisting warranties presented in the table below.

The following activity related to product warranty liabilities was recorded in Accrued expenses during the six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015:



(in millions)	July 2, 2016			July 4, 2015
Balance at beginning of period	$	106.3		$	110.6
Payments made	(28.4		)	(27.3		)
Provisions/additions for contracts issued/sold	34.7			35.0
Aggregate changes for preexisting warranties	(5.9		)	(10.2		)
Foreign currency translation	0.8			(1.9		)
Acquisitions	6.4			—
Balance at end of period	$	113.9		$	106.2

Additionally, end users of the Company's products may purchase a contract from the Company that extends product warranty beyond the standard period. For certain extended warranty contracts in which the Company retains the warranty or administration obligation, a deferred liability is recorded based on the aggregate sales price for contracts sold. The deferred liability is reduced and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period during which costs are expected to be incurred. Deferred revenue associated with contracts sold by the Company that extend product protection beyond the standard product warranty period, not included in the table above, was $84.4 million, $78.3 million and $76.1 million at July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015, respectively, and is recorded in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities.

Legal and Environmental

The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Adjustments to estimates are recorded in the period they are identified. Management does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for the Company’s litigation claims and matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. In light of existing reserves, the Company's litigation claims, when finally resolved, are not expected, in management's opinion, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

There were no material changes during the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 to the legal and environmental commitments that were discussed in Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2015 Form 10-K.

Corporate/Other results include items such as corporate staff and administrative costs. Corporate/Other total assets consist of mainly cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities, restricted cash, income tax balances and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Marine eliminations adjust for sales between the Marine Engine and Boat segments, primarily for 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 the Company's third party customers.

Note 13 – Income Taxes

The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 of $48.1 million and $76.3 million, respectively, both of which included a net benefit of $0.1 million mainly associated with state tax credits. The Company recognized an income tax provision from continuing operations for the three months and six months ended July 4, 2015 of $42.6 million and $70.9 million, respectively, which included a net benefit of $7.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, mainly associated with the internal restructuring of foreign entities and the completion of the 2011 and 2012 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits. The effective tax rate from continuing operations, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of pre-tax income, for both the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 was 30.8 percent. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the three months and six months ended July 4, 2015 was 28.4 percent and 30.2 percent, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Company initiated an internal restructuring of its foreign entities, including the establishment of a European holding company. This restructuring is being undertaken to more effectively and efficiently manage the Company's foreign cash. The Company continued to implement this internal restructuring during the first half of 2016.

The Company has historically provided deferred taxes for the presumed ultimate repatriation to the U.S. of earnings from most of its non-U.S. subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates. No deferred income taxes have been provided as of July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 or July 4, 2015 on the applicable undistributed earnings of the non-U.S. subsidiaries where the indefinite reinvestment assertion has been applied. If at some future date these earnings cease to be indefinitely reinvested, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding and other taxes on such amounts. The Company continues to provide deferred taxes, as required, on the undistributed net earnings of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates that are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States.

As of July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015, the Company had $5.5 million, $4.8 million and $5.2 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of July 2, 2016 could decrease by approximately $1.9 million in the next 12 months due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in the statute of limitations. Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the settlement of tax audits, it is possible that there could be other significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2016, but the amount cannot be estimated.

The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company has been audited by the IRS through the 2012 tax year and all open issues have been resolved. Primarily as a result of filing amended returns, which were generated by the closing of federal income tax audits, the Company is still open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2008 taxable year. Following the completion in the fourth quarter of 2015 of the 2008 through 2012 Germany tax audit, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2013, except for potential 2012 affirmative claims in Germany.

Note 14 – Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company has defined contribution plans, qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The Company's contributions to its defined contribution plans include a match and an annual discretionary contribution and are based on various percentages of compensation, and in some instances are based on the amount of the employees' contributions to the plans. See Note 17 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2015 Form 10-K for further details regarding these plans.

Pension and other postretirement benefit costs included the following components for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015:



	Pension Benefits												Other Postretirement Benefits

Net pension and other benefit costs	$	3.7		$	3.0		$	7.4		$	5.9		$	0.3		$	0.6		$	0.4		$	1.2

Portions of Net pension and other benefit costs are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses as well as capitalized into inventory. Costs capitalized into inventory are eventually realized through Cost of sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Pension expense in 2016 includes the impact of a change in methodology used to calculate the interest cost component of pension expense. In 2015 and prior years, the Company used a single-weighted average discount rate to calculate pension and postretirement interest costs. Beginning in 2016, the Company is utilizing a "spot rate approach" in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs to provide a more accurate measurement of interest costs. The spot rate approach applies separate discount rates for each projected benefit payment in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs. This calculation change is considered to be a change in accounting estimate and is being applied prospectively in 2016. The discount rates used to measure the 2016 interest costs are 3.58% and 3.30% for pensions and other postretirement benefits, respectively. The previous method would have used a discount rate for interest costs of 4.40% for pensions and 4.23% for other postretirement benefits, respectively. The decreased interest costs for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, for pension is approximately $2.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, compared with the previous method. The decreased interest costs for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, for other postretirement benefits, is approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared with the previous method. Additionally, pension expense in 2016 includes the impact of a decline in the assumed rate of return on plan assets, to 5.25% in 2016 compared with 6.00% in 2015, primarily due to shifts in asset allocations toward fixed income investments. For the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, pension expense increased by $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, compared with the previous period as a result of the lower assumed rate of return on plan assets.

Employer Contributions and Benefit Payments. During both the six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015, the Company contributed $1.8 million to fund benefit payments to its nonqualified pension plan. During the six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015, the Company contributed $35.0 million and $70.0 million to its qualified pension plans, respectively. Company contributions are subject to change based on market conditions, pension funding regulations and Company discretion.

Note 15 – Debt

There was no significant activity in Long-term debt during the six months ended July 2, 2016 and July 4, 2015, respectively. See Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2015 Form 10-K for further details regarding the Company's debt.

In June 2016, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Facility). The Credit Facility amends and restates the Company's existing credit agreement, dated as of March 2011, as amended and restated as of June 2014, discussed in the 2015 Form 10-K. The Credit Facility provides for the same $300 million of borrowing capacity and is in effect through June 2021. The Credit Facility includes provisions to add an additional $100 million of capacity and extend the facility for two additional one-year terms, subject to lender approval. The Company pays a facility fee of 20.0 basis points per annum. The facility fee per annum will be within a range of 12.5 to 35.0 basis points based on the Company's credit rating. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has two borrowing options, including borrowing at a rate tied to adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 130.0 basis points or a base rate plus a margin of 30.0 basis points. The rates are determined by the Company's credit ratings, with a range of 100.0 to 190.0 basis points for LIBOR rate borrowings and a range of 0.0 to 90.0 basis points for base rate borrowings. The Company is required to maintain compliance with two financial covenants included in the Credit Facility: a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. The minimum interest coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, is not permitted to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. The maximum leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, is not permitted to be more than 3.50 to 1.00. As of July 2, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility.

Note 16 –Subsequent Events

On July 19, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.15 per share. The dividend will be payable September 15, 2016 to shareholders of record as of August 23, 2016.

On July 27, 2016, the Company signed an agreement to acquire Indoor Cycling Group GmbH (ICG), a market leader specializing in the design of indoor cycling equipment, which is based in Nuremburg, Germany. The addition of ICG will strengthen the Company's position in indoor cycling and provides a strong foundation to expand in the growing group exercise market. ICG will be managed as part of the Company's Fitness segment.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. Specifically, the discussion of Brunswick Corporation's (Brunswick or the Company) cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity, the discussion of the Company's net sales includes comparisons of net sales on a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions, and the discussion of the Company's earnings includes comparisons of diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. 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 comprehensive income, 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. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.

The Company includes non-GAAP financial measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as Brunswick’s management believes that these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the Company’s ongoing business performance.

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing because of factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in Brunswick’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the 2015 Form 10-K).

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 pension settlement charges, restructuring and integration costs, special tax items and certain other unusual adjustments.

Overview and Outlook

General

Net sales increased 9 percent during the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the second quarter of 2015 on both a GAAP basis and on a constant currency basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased 5 percent over the comparative period. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to solid growth in both the marine service, parts and accessories businesses as well as outboard engines, partially offset by declines in sterndrive engines. Boat segment net sales increased due to strong growth in fiberglass outboard and aluminum boats, partially offset by declines in sterndrive and inboard boats. Fitness segment net sales increased, reflecting the impact of recent acquisitions, strong growth in the U.S. at health clubs and local and federal governments, along with growth in Europe and Asia. International net sales for the Company increased 4 percent in the second quarter of 2016 on a GAAP basis when compared with the second quarter of 2015. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 5 percent in the second quarter of 2016 driven by increases in European and Asia-Pacific markets, partially offset by declines in other international markets.

Net sales during the first six months of 2016 increased 9 percent when compared with the first six months of 2015 on a GAAP basis, 10 percent on a constant currency basis and 5 percent on a constant currency basis excluding the impact of acquisitions. The increases in net sales reflect the same factors for the quarterly period described above. International net sales increased 4 percent in the first six months of 2016 on a GAAP basis when compared with the first six months of 2015. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 6 percent in the first half of 2016 due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above.

Operating earnings in the second quarter of 2016 were $161.9 million, with an operating margin of 13.0 percent, which included integration charges of $2.6 million. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company reported operating earnings of $154.2 million, with an operating margin of 13.5 percent. The increase in operating earnings during the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the second quarter of 2015 reflected the impact of higher net sales and savings related to cost reductions including benefits from sourcing initiatives and lower commodity costs. Offsetting these factors were an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange, increased spending on growth initiatives and integration costs related to the Cybex acquisition.

Operating earnings in the first six months of 2016 were $257.9 million, with an operating margin of 11.2 percent, which included integration charges of $6.4 million. In the first six months of 2015, the Company reported operating earnings of $242.9 million, with an operating margin of 11.4 percent. The improvement in operating earnings during the first half of 2016 when compared with the first half of 2015 is due to the same factors as discussed in the quarterly period above.

The Company continues to expect that 2016 will be another year of outstanding earnings growth with strong free cash flow generation. The Company is targeting 10 to 11 percent net sales growth when compared with 2015 absent any changes in our global macroeconomic assumption. Our plan reflects the continuation of solid market growth in the U.S. and Europe, the success of new products, resulting in market share gains, and increases from completed acquisitions. Acquisitions are estimated to account for 5 percentage points of the growth rate in 2016, reflecting the impact of announced transactions in 2015 and 2016. These factors are expected to be partially offset by weakness in certain international marine markets and a slight unfavorable impact from foreign exchange.

The Company expects to have higher earnings before income taxes in 2016 resulting from increased revenue and slight improvements in both gross margin and operating margin levels, due to benefits from volume leverage, cost reductions and savings related to sourcing initiatives and positive product mix factors, partially offset by incremental investments to support strategic objectives and foreign currency headwinds. The Company anticipates that operating earnings comparisons versus 2015 will be negatively affected by $12 million to $17 million, or 3.5 percent, due to foreign exchange rates, with a significant portion of the impact recognized in the first half of 2016. The Company projects operating expenses, including research and development expenses, to be higher in 2016 when compared with 2015 as the Company continues to increase investment spending to support growth. Operating expenses are projected to be slightly lower on a percentage of sales basis in 2016 versus 2015.

The Company is also planning for its effective tax rate in 2016 to be 31 percent based on existing tax law which includes the benefit from the permanent extension of the U.S. R&D tax credit as well as the benefits from optimizing its international legal entity and cash management structure.

Changes in Foreign Currency Rates. Percentage changes in net sales expressed in constant currency are presented to reflect the impact that changes in currency exchange rates had on comparisons of net sales. To present this information, 2016 net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates from 2015 that were in effect during the comparative period. The percentage change in net sales expressed on a constant currency basis better reflects the changes in the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Approximately 20 percent of the Company's annual net sales are transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company's most material exposures include sales in Euros, Canadian dollars, Brazilian reais and Australian dollars.

Additionally, operating earnings comparisons were negatively affected by foreign exchange rates by approximately $5 million, or 3 percent, in the second quarter of 2016 when compared with 2015. During the first half of 2016, operating earnings comparisons were negatively affected by foreign exchange rates by approximately $10 million, or 4 percent, when compared with the same prior year period. These estimates include the impact of translation on all sales and costs transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, the impact of hedging activities, and pricing actions in certain international markets in response to the stronger U.S. dollar.

Acquisitions. The Company completed acquisitions throughout 2015 and during the first half of 2016 that affect the comparability of net sales. BLA, SCIFIT Systems, Inc. and Garelick Mfg. Co. were acquired in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2015, respectively, and Cybex was acquired in the first quarter of 2016. The Thunder Jet acquisition in the second quarter of 2016 had no impact on sales comparisons due to the timing of the acquisition. Refer to Note 4 –Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on acquisitions completed in 2016; refer to Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2015 Form 10-K for further details on 2015 acquisitions.

Integration charges. The Company recorded integration charges of $2.6 million and $6.4 million in the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, respectively, in the Fitness segment as a result of the Cybex acquisition which was completed in the first quarter of 2016. There were no comparable charges during 2015. Refer to Note 3 – Restructuring and Integration Activities for further information. The Company anticipates it will incur Restructuring and integration charges of $8 million to $10 million for the full year.

(A)	Gross margin is defined as Net sales less Cost of sales as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Net sales increased during the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the second quarter of 2015. Marine Engine segment net sales increased due to solid growth in the marine service, parts and accessories businesses as well as outboard engines. Both of these categories benefited from favorable market trends and market share gains. Net sales of sterndrive engines declined reflecting unfavorable demand trends. Boat segment net sales increased due to strong growth in fiberglass outboard and aluminum boats, partially offset by declines in sterndrive and inboard boats. The Boat segment's net sales benefited from increases in wholesale unit shipments. Fitness segment net sales increased, reflecting the impact of recent acquisitions, strong growth in the U.S. at health clubs and local and federal governments, along with growth in Europe and Asia. International net sales for the Company increased 4 percent in the second quarter of 2016 on a GAAP basis when compared with the second quarter of 2015.

Net sales during the first six months of 2016 increased when compared with the first six months of 2015. The increases in net sales reflect the same factors for the quarterly period described above, except global wholesale boat unit shipments were down slightly. International net sales for the Company increased 4 percent in the first six months of 2016 on a GAAP basis when compared

with the first six months of 2015. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 6 percent in the first half of 2016 due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above.

Gross margin percentage was flat in the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the same prior year period due to volume increases and cost reductions including benefits from sourcing initiatives and lower commodity costs. These factors were offset by the unfavorable impact from foreign exchange. In the first six months of 2016, gross margin percentage increased slightly when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased as a percentage of net sales during the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the second quarter of 2015. Operating expenses increased due mostly to acquisitions and investments to support growth. In the first six months of 2016, Selling, general and administrative expense increased when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, but decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales.

Research and development expense increased in the second quarter of 2016, as the Company continued to increase its funding of investments in new products, but remained flat as a percentage of net sales when compared with the second quarter of 2015. In the first six months of 2016, Research and development expense increased due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, but increased slightly as a percentage of sales when compared with the same prior year period.

The Company recorded integration charges of $2.6 million and $6.4 million for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, respectively. There were no integration charges recorded in the first six months of 2015.

The Company recorded equity earnings of $1.0 million and $1.8 million in the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, respectively, which were mainly related to the Company's marine joint ventures. This compares with equity earnings of $1.0 and $2.0 million recorded in the three months and six months ended July 4, 2015, respectively. The Company recognized $(0.1) million and $0.9 million in Other income (expense), net in the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016, respectively. This compares with $1.5 million and $3.2 million recognized in Other income (expense), net in the three months and six months ended July 4, 2015, respectively.

Net interest expense was relatively flat for the three months and six months ended July 2, 2016 when compared with the same prior year period.

Operating earnings, Net earnings from continuing operations and Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations increased during the second quarter of 2016 as well as the first half of 2016 when compared with the same prior year periods due to the factors discussed in the preceding paragraphs. The increases in Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations also included the impact of common stock repurchases.

Diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share, as adjusted - defined as Diluted earnings from continuing operations per common share, excluding the earnings per share impact for Restructuring and integration charges from continuing operations - increased by $0.14 per share, or 13 percent, to $1.19 per share in the second quarter of 2016 when compared with $1.05 per share for the same period in 2015.

bpts = basis points

Net sales for the Marine Engine segment increased in the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the second quarter of 2015. The increase was mainly due to solid growth in the marine service, parts and accessories businesses, which included benefits from acquisitions completed in the second and fourth quarters of 2015, favorable market trends, new product launches and market share gains. The segment also experienced a solid increase in outboard engine net sales, driven by continued favorable retail demand trends in overall U.S. and European markets and market share gains, reflecting recently launched new products. Partially offsetting these factors was a decrease in sterndrive engine net sales due to the shift to outboards and continuing unfavorable global retail demand trends. The acquisitions of BLA and Garelick accounted for 1 percentage point of the Marine Engine segment's overall revenue growth rate in the second quarter of 2016. International net sales were 29 percent of the segment's net sales in the second quarter of 2016, and increased 2 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 4 percent in the second quarter of 2016, which included gains in Europe, Asia-Pacific and Canada, partially offset by weakness in the Latin America and Africa and the Middle East regions.

Net sales for the Marine Engine segment increased in the first six months of 2016 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above. The acquisitions of BLA and Garelick accounted for 1 percentage point of the Marine Engine segment's overall revenue growth rate in the first half of 2016. International net sales were 31 percent of the segment's net sales in the first half of 2016, and increased 5 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales increased 9 percent in the first half of 2016, due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above.

Marine Engine segment operating earnings increased in the second quarter of 2016 as a result of higher net sales and cost reductions, including benefits from lower commodity costs and sourcing initiatives. Partially offsetting these factors were an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange and growth related investments including new product development activities.

Boat segment net sales increased in the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the second quarter of 2015 due to strong growth rates in fiberglass outboard boats and aluminum boats as well as increased global wholesale unit shipments, partially offset by modest declines in sterndrive and inboard boats. Declining net sales in larger boats were partially offset by gains in runabouts. International net sales were 27 percent of the segment's net sales in the second quarter of 2016, and decreased 5 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales decreased 4 percent when compared with the same prior year period primarily due to declines in Canada and Latin America, partially offset by increases in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Boat segment net sales increased in the first six months of 2016 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, except global wholesale unit shipments were down slightly. As anticipated, wholesale unit shipments trailed retail unit growth rates over the first half, but are expected to become more balanced in the second half of the year. International net sales were 26 percent of the segment's net sales in the first six months of 2015, a decrease of 9 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international net sales decreased 7 percent in the first six months of 2016 due to net sales decreases in Canada, Africa and the Middle East and Latin America, partially offset by increases in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

The Boat segment operating earnings increased in the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the second quarter of 2015 due to higher net sales and benefits from lower commodity costs and savings related to sourcing initiatives. Partially offsetting these items was the impact of lower sales volumes of large sterndrive and inboard boats.

The Boat segment operating earnings increased in the first six months of 2016 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above and a favorable product mix in the first quarter, driven by the introduction of new products.

Corporate operating expenses increased in the second quarter of 2016 when compared with the same prior year period primarily due to increases in project spending as well as unfavorable comparisons related to mark-to-market adjustments on compensation accruals, partially offset by lower equity compensation expense.

Corporate operating expenses increased slightly in the first six months of 2016 when compared with the same prior year period due to the same factors described in the quarterly period above, except mark-to-market adjustments for compensation accruals between periods were relatively consistent.

Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth an analysis of free cash flow for the six months ended:



(in millions)	July 2, 2016			July 4, 2015
Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations	$	213.1		$	108.8
Net cash provided by (used for):
Capital expenditures	(90.0		)	(64.7		)
Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment	1.6			1.0
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	5.6			(8.4		)
Total free cash flow from continuing operations ^(A)	$	130.3		$	36.7

__________

(A) The Company defines “Free cash flow from continuing operations” as cash flow from operating and investing activities of continuing operations (excluding cash provided by or used for acquisitions and investments, transfers to/reductions in restricted cash, purchases or sales/maturities of marketable securities) and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. Free cash flow from continuing operations is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The Company uses this financial measure, both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tool that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Free cash flow from continuing operations” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives.

Brunswick’s major sources of funds for investments, acquisitions, dividend payments and share repurchase programs are cash generated from operating activities, available cash and marketable securities balances and selected borrowings. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.

2016 Cash Flow

In the first six months of 2016, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $213.1 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expense items. An increase in working capital, excluding the impact of acquisitions, had a negative effect on net cash provided by operating activities. Working capital is defined as Accounts and notes receivable, Inventories and Prepaid expenses and other, net of Accounts payable and Accrued expenses as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Accounts and notes receivable increased $52.4 million during the first six months of 2016, due primarily to seasonally higher net sales in the Marine Engine segment. Accrued expenses decreased $16.3 million during the first six months of the year, primarily driven by the payment of the prior year's variable compensation, which had been accrued as of December 31, 2015, partially offset by the timing of certain payments. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in Accounts payable of $30.1 million, which was the result of increased domestic production in the Company's Marine Engine segment.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations during the first half of 2016 totaled $293.6 million, which included capital expenditures of $90.0 million. The Company's capital spending is focused on new product introductions, capacity expansion projects in all segments and other high priority, profit-enhancing projects. Cash paid for the acquisitions of Cybex and Thunder Jet in the first and second quarters of 2016, respectively, net of cash acquired, totaled $215.9 million in the first half of 2016. See Note 4 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's acquisitions. Partially offsetting these items were net proceeds from marketable securities of $10.7 million that were used to satisfy working capital requirements during the first half of 2016.

Net cash used for financing activities of continuing operations was $86.4 million during the first half of 2016. The cash outflow included common stock repurchase activity and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.

2015 Cash Flow

In the first six months of 2015, net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations totaled $108.8 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings from continuing operations net of non-cash expense items. Increases in net working capital balances, excluding the impact of acquisitions, had a negative effect on net cash provided by operating activities. Accounts and notes receivable increased $58.8 million during the first half of 2015, due primarily to seasonally higher net sales in the Marine Engine segment. Accrued expenses decreased $43.1 million during the first half of 2015, which was driven primarily by the payment of the prior year's variable compensation, which had been accrued as of December 31, 2014. Net inventories increased by $7.4 million during the first half of 2015 due to increases in production to support new product introductions and increased sales volumes. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in Accounts payable of $19.8 million, which was the result of increased domestic production in the Company's Marine Engine segment.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations during the first half of 2015 totaled $20.2 million, which included capital expenditures of $64.7 million. The Company's capital spending focused on new product introductions, growth initiatives, capacity expansion projects in all segments and other high priority, profit-enhancing projects. Cash paid for the acquisition of BLA, net of cash acquired, totaled $8.8 million in the first six months of 2015. Partially offsetting these items were net proceeds from marketable securities of $57.4 million that were used to satisfy working capital requirements during the first half of 2015.

Cash flows used for financing activities of continuing operations were $81.2 million during the first half of 2015. The cash outflow was primarily the result of common stock repurchases and cash dividends paid to common shareholders.

(B) The Company defines Total liquidity as Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments in marketable securities as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, plus amounts available for borrowing under its lending facilities. Total liquidity is not intended as an alternative measure to Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments in marketable securities as determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company uses this financial measure, both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view the Company’s performance using the same metric that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Total liquidity” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of the Company’s available highly liquid assets and immediate sources of financing.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $493.3 million as of July 2, 2016, a decrease of $175.5 million from $668.8 million as of December 31, 2015, and a decrease of $115.4 million from $608.7 million as of July 4, 2015. Total debt as of July 2, 2016, December 31, 2015 and July 4, 2015 was $452.6 million, $448.5 million and $450.1 million, respectively. The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 24.6 percent as of July 2, 2016, down from 25.9 percent as of December 31, 2015 and from 26.3 percent as of July 4, 2015.

Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to meet the Company's short-term and long-term needs. The next significant long-term debt maturity is not until 2021.

On October 22, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $200 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock and, due to completed repurchases, had approximately $60 million of remaining authorization at December 31, 2015. On February 11, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized $300 million of additional share repurchases. Share repurchases will be completed in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company’s share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares, and the Company may discontinue purchases at any time that management determines additional purchases are not warranted. As of July 2, 2016, the Company had repurchased approximately $200 million of common stock under these programs, with approximately $60 million repurchased during the first half of 2016.

The Company's plan assumes an increase in net earnings in 2016 when compared with 2015. Net activity in working capital is projected to reflect a usage of cash in 2016 in the range of $40 million to $60 million, including payments under deferred compensation arrangements in connection with the recent management transitions. Additionally, the Company plans to make cash contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of approximately $70 million to $75 million in 2016. The Company is planning for capital expenditures of approximately 4 percent to 4.5 percent of 2016 net sales, reflecting substantial new product investments in the outboard engine business and continued capacity investments to support new products and growth. Including higher investment spending levels and a usage of cash for working capital, the Company plans to generate free cash flow in 2016 in excess of $200 million.

The Company contributed $35.0 million and $70.0 million to its qualified pension plans in the first half of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company also contributed $1.8 million to fund benefit payments in its nonqualified pension plan during the first halves of both 2016 and 2015 and expects to contribute approximately $2 million of additional funding to the plan through the remainder of 2016. Company contributions are subject to change based on market conditions, pension funding regulations and Company discretion.

Pension Expense

Pension expense in 2016 is projected to be approximately $15 million, an increase from $11.7 million in 2015. Comparisons between 2016 and 2015 include the impacts of a change in methodology used to calculate the interest cost component of pension expense and a decline in the assumed rate of return on plan assets, primarily due to shifts in asset allocation toward fixed income investments. In 2015 and prior years, the Company used a single-weighted average discount rate to calculate pension and postretirement interest costs. Beginning in 2016, the Company is utilizing a "spot rate approach" in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs to provide a more accurate measurement of interest costs. The spot rate approach applies separate discount rates for each projected benefit payment in the calculation of pension and postretirement interest costs. This calculation change is considered to be a change in accounting estimate and was applied prospectively beginning in 2016.

Financial Services

The Company's financial services joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC), is detailed in the 2015 Form 10-K. On March 1, 2016, CDF Ventures, LLC (CDFV), a subsidiary of GE Capital Corporation, completed the sale of its Commercial Distribution Finance business, including CDFV and its interest in the BAC joint venture, to Wells Fargo & Company. The transaction did not have a material effect on BAC.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations, as of December 31, 2015, are detailed in the 2015 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in these arrangements and obligations outside the ordinary course of business since December 31, 2015.

Environmental Regulation

In its Marine Engine segment, Brunswick continues to develop engine technologies to reduce engine emissions to comply with current and future emissions requirements. The Boat segment continues to pursue fiberglass boat manufacturing technologies and techniques to reduce air emissions at its boat manufacturing facilities. The costs associated with these activities may have an adverse effect on segment operating margins and may affect short-term operating results. Environmental regulatory bodies in the United States and other countries may impose higher emissions standards and/or other environmental regulatory requirements than are currently in effect. The Company complies with current regulations and expects to comply fully with any new regulations; compliance will increase the cost of these products for the Company and the industry, but is not expected to have a material adverse effect on Brunswick's competitive position.

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in the 2015 Form 10-K, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

There were no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies since the filing of its 2015 Form 10-K.

On February 11, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized $300 million of additional share repurchases.
