 Item 1. Business

 References to "we," "us," "our," the "Company," "Brunswick," and "Brunswick Corporation" refer to Brunswick Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise.

 Brunswick Corporation is a global leader in marine recreation, delivering innovation that transforms experiences on the water and beyond. Our unique, technology-driven solutions are informed and inspired by deep consumer insights and powered by our belief that "Next Never Rests. " We design, manufacture, and market recreational marine products, including leading marine propulsion products and boats, as well as parts and accessories for the marine and RV markets, and we operate the world's largest boat club. We are dedicated to industry leadership, to being the best and most trusted partner to our many customers, and to building synergies and ecosystems that enable us to challenge convention and define the future. Incorporated in Delaware on December 31, 1907, Brunswick has traded on the New York Stock Exchange for nearly 100 years.

 Our strategy is focused on:

 • Understanding and addressing the changing needs and behaviors of global boating participants;
 • Investing in innovative, global product leadership and leveraging our leading brands to meet consumer needs;
 • Delivering distinctive, elevated ownership and shared-access experiences that expand boating participation;
 • Being the partner of choice to our customers by offering integrated technical and business solutions;
 • Engaging consumers with the richest, most intuitive digital experiences;
 • Leading the industry in Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification, and Shared Access (ACES) strategies, with an expanding set of commercially available products in each category;
 • Unlocking unique and profound enterprise synergies;
 • Investing in increasing global business resiliency;
 • Being an acknowledged marine industry leader in sustainability; and
 • Being an employer of choice through our clear purpose and culture of inclusiveness.

 These strategies support our aim to create exceptional experiences, expand participation in recreational boating, deliver industry-transforming technology, and leverage our leading businesses to grow earnings and enhance shareholder value. Our integrated business strategy is supported by a balanced capital strategy that includes critical investments in new products and technology to further our market leadership position, organic growth initiatives, and our ACES and technology strategies while also managing debt levels and maturities, maintaining strong cash and liquidity positions, and continuing to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

 Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine Parts and Accessories (Engine P&A), Navico Group and Boat to align with our internal operating structure, described further below.

 Key brands associated with each of our segments are listed below.

 Refer to Note 5 – Segment Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our segments.

 Propulsion Segment

 The Propulsion segment, which we believe is a world leader in the manufacturing and sale of recreational marine engines and propulsion systems, had net sales of $ 2,763.8 million in 2023. The Propulsion segment designs, manufactures and sells engines, controls, rigging, and propellers globally to over 860 boat builders (both independent and Brunswick's Boat segment) and a network of more than 8,900 marine dealers and distributors, specialty marine retailers, marine service centers, and various local, state, and federal governmental accounts. White River Marine Group, LLC (including Tracker and Ranger Boats) and Brunswick Boat Group are significant customers.

 Propulsion segment engines are designed for use in recreational, commercial, and racing applications. Mercury designs and sells four-stroke outboard engine models ranging from 2.5 to 600 horsepower; Mercury Marine and Mercury Racing manufacture inboard and sterndrive engine models ranging from 115 to 1,550 horsepower. Mercury Marine also manufactures two-stroke, non-DFI (direct fuel injection) engines for certain markets outside the United States and Avator electric propulsion systems in models ranging from 7.5e to 110e. In 2023, Brunswick acquired Fliteboard Pty Ltd (Fliteboard), a leader in eFoiling technology, to further enhance our electrification and shared-access strategies. Fliteboard is operated as part of the Propulsion segment.

 Engine P&A Segment

 The Engine P&A segment had net sales of $ 1,199.8 million in 2023. Engine P&A sells products such as engine parts and consumables including oils and lubricants, electrical products, boat parts and systems, and also includes our marine parts and accessories distribution businesses.

 Engine P&A products are designed for and sold mostly to aftermarket retailers, dealers, distributors, and original equipment manufacturers (including Brunswick Boat segment brands) for both marine and non-marine markets. The Engine P&A distribution businesses are leading distributors of Brunswick and third party marine parts and accessories throughout North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, offering same-day or next-day delivery service to a broad array of marine service facilities.

 Navico Group Segment

 The Navico Group segment, which had net sales of $ 914.7 million in 2023, designs, develops, manufactures, and markets products and systems for the marine, RV, specialty vehicle, mobile and industrial markets, as well as aftermarket channels. Navico Group products include marine electronics, sensors, and control systems, digital control and monitoring systems, instruments, fish finders, sonar, radar, trolling motors, fuel systems, batteries, power management, and electrical systems. Navico Group sells its products to aftermarket distributors and retailers as well as original equipment manufacturers. White River Marine Group, LLC, Brunswick's Engine P&A distribution businesses and Brunswick Boat Group are significant customers.

 Boat Segment

 The Boat segment consists of the Brunswick Boat Group (Boat Group), which manufactures and distributes recreational boats, and Business Acceleration. We believe that the Boat segment, which had net sales of $ 1,989.4 million during 2023, is a world leader in the manufacture and sale of pleasure boats. The Boat segment manages Brunswick's boat brands, evaluates and optimizes the Boat segment's boat portfolio, promotes recreational boating services and activities to enhance the consumer experience and dealer profitability, including through its Business Acceleration initiatives, and speeds the introduction of new technologies into boat manufacturing and design processes.

 The Boat segment procures substantially all of its engines from Brunswick's Propulsion segment, and boats often include other parts and accessories supplied by the Engine P&A and Navico Group segments. The Boat Group sells its products through a global network of more than 1,300 dealers and distributors, with some operating in more than one location and some carrying more than one of our boat brands. The Boat Group's largest dealer, MarineMax, Inc., is a significant external customer which carries a number of the Boat Group's product lines and has multiple locations.

 Included within the Boat segment is the Business Acceleration business, which is dedicated to developing emerging and disruptive business models, focusing on services and subscriptions, and engaging the next generation of diverse boaters. Business Acceleration businesses accounted for 8 percent of Boat segment net sales in 2023.

 Business Acceleration's Freedom Boat Club (FBC) is the world's largest boat club network. FBC operates in more than 400 locations across the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe, and has nearly 60,000 memberships. FBC members pay an upfront initiation fee and ongoing monthly dues in exchange for gaining shared access to their local club's diverse fleet of boats and reciprocal privileges at all other FBC locations. Business Acceleration also operates a variety of other businesses including dealer and retailer financing; retail extended warranty and insurance businesses; Boateka, a certified pre-owned boat platform; and other marine services businesses.

 Financing Services

 Through our Brunswick Financial Services Corporation subsidiary, we own a 49 percent interest in a joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC). Under the terms of the joint venture agreement (JV Agreement), BAC provides secured wholesale inventory floor plan financing to our boat and engine dealers as well as Freedom Boat Club franchisees. A subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company owns the remaining 51 percent.

 The JV Agreement contains a financial covenant that conforms to the maximum leverage ratio test in the Credit Facility described in Note 14 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The JV Agreement contains provisions allowing for the renewal of the JV Agreement or the purchase of the other party's interest in the joint venture at the end of its term. Alternatively, either partner may terminate the JV Agreement at the end of its term. Refer to Note 8 – Financing Joint Venture in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our financial services offered through BAC.

 Many dealers secure floor plan financing from BAC, and, to a lesser extent, from other third party financing companies, enabling them to stock product in advance of the peak selling season and providing stable channels for our products. Brunswick provides risk mitigation to BAC and other finance companies in the form of inventory repurchase commitments, under which we are obligated to repurchase inventory in the event of a dealer's default. This risk mitigation is reflected in our estimate of repurchase liabilities. Our business units, along with BAC, maintain active credit operations to manage this financial exposure, and we continually seek opportunities to sustain and improve the financial health of our various distribution channel partners. Refer to Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these arrangements.

 In addition to floor plan financing, Business Acceleration recently announced the launch of Brunswick Finance, a digital retail finance solution that simplifies the purchase process by leveraging a fully integrated technology platform offering end-to-end integration across the boat buying ecosystem, from applying for pre-qualification to underwriting, finalizing agreements and e-signing for loans.

 Distribution

 We utilize independent distributors, dealers, and retailers (Dealers) for the majority of our boat sales, sales of parts and accessories, and some sales of marine engines. We have over 19,000 active Dealers serving our business segments worldwide. Our Dealers typically carry one or more product categories and are independent companies or proprietors that range in size from small, family-owned businesses to a large, publicly traded corporation with substantial revenues and multiple locations. Some Dealers sell our products exclusively, while a majority also carry competitor and complementary products. We partner with our Dealer network to improve quality, service, distribution, and delivery of parts and accessories to enhance the boating customer's experience.

 Besides our network of independent Dealers, we sell parts and accessories to boat builders and operate our own wholesale parts and accessories distribution companies, which are leading distributors of marine parts and accessories with a network of warehouses located throughout the markets they serve, offering same or next-day delivery to a broad array of marine service facilities and Dealers. In addition, we operate a leading boat dealer in the Southeastern U.S. with four locations selling boats and parts and accessories.

 Technology and Innovation

 We believe Brunswick is uniquely positioned to continue defining the future of the global marine industry. We are continuously and consistently innovating the future of recreational boating through growing service, connectivity, and alternative participation capabilities and businesses. To support our goal, we have established cross-functional and cross-business investments and initiatives, and hire leaders with strong technology experience. We continue to develop solutions to further improve boater experiences both by advancing the efficiency and capabilities of our core product lines and through our ACES strategy.

 We continue to develop and refine future innovative projects through our team at the i-Jet Innovation Lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. In 2023, Mercury Marine unveiled its Avator 7.5e electric outboard at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas and has since introduced Avator electric propulsion systems up to 110e. Mercury Marine also entered into an agreement with Jing-Jin Electric (JJE), an electrified propulsion leader in components, assemblies, and systems for global automotive applications, to collaborate on Mercury's portfolio of electric propulsion solutions. Our Boat Group introduced the new Veer boat brand, intended to support electric propulsion, and Navan by Quicksilver, which combines innovative technology with superior performance. Navico Group introduced three new Mastervolt brand larger capacity, lithium-ion deep-cycle supply batteries to provide enhanced power storage capacity in a lighter weight and smaller footprint. Navico Group's Whale brand launched Heat Air, a lightweight, space-efficient, propane-based, heating solution for recreational vehicles.

 Brunswick won numerous awards in 2023 for our groundbreaking products, including:

 • National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and Boating Writers International (BWI) honored our Veer boat brand with a 2023 Minneapolis Innovation Award in the fishing boat category.

 • Multiple NMMA Innovation Awards at the 2023 Miami International Boat Show, including for the Fathom e-Power System, Lowrance HDS Pro with Active Imaging HD and ActiveTarget 2, and the Sea Ray SLX 260 Outboard.

 • A record 11 Boating Industry Magazine 2023 Top Product Awards to products across our portfolio.

 We transact a portion of our sales in non-U.S. markets in local currencies, while a meaningful portion of our product costs are denominated in U.S. dollars as a result of our U.S. manufacturing operations. As a result, the strengthening or weakening of the U.S. dollar affects the financial results of our non-U.S. operations.

 Propulsion non-U.S. sales comprised approximately 43 percent of our non-U.S. sales in 2023. Engine P&A non-U.S. sales comprised approximately 18 percent of our non-U.S. sales in 2023. Navico Group non-U.S. sales comprised approximately 17 percent of our non-U.S. sales in 2023. Boat non-U.S. sales comprised approximately 22 percent of our non-U.S. sales in 2023.

 Raw Materials and Supplies

 We purchase a wide variety of raw materials from our supplier base, including commodities such as aluminum, copper, resins, oil, and steel, as well as product parts and components, such as boat windshields. The prices for these raw materials, parts, and components fluctuate depending on market conditions and inflation. In 2023, our operations continued to experience intermittent supply chain uncertainty and disruptions. Our global procurement operations constantly strive to obtain adequate supplies, better leverage purchasing power across our divisions, and improve cost efficiencies. We mitigate commodity price risk on certain raw material purchases by entering into fixed priced contracts or derivatives to reduce our exposure related to changes in commodity prices.

 Intellectual Property

 We own intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, related to our current and future products and production methods, in the U.S. and certain other countries. By law, patents have a limited term, so our patents expire over time. Our trademarks and trade secrets have potentially indefinite lives. We consider our collection of intellectual property to be a valuable asset that is important to our competitive position. As of December 31, 2023, we own more than:

 •1,100 active U.S. patents;
 •450 pending U.S. patent applications;
 •650 active foreign patents;
 •270 pending foreign patent applications;
 •370 U.S. registered trademarks; and
 •1,800 foreign registered trademarks.

 We invest substantial resources in acquiring, maintaining, and defending our intellectual property rights, and we expect to continue to do so. When feasible, we seek patent protection on products and production methods that are under development, and in areas of possible future development. We require employees who will develop intellectual property, or who have access to intellectual property, to sign confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements. We invest in physical and IT security programs to prevent theft and inadvertent disclosure of trade secrets. In addition to "Brunswick," our primary trademarks include Mercury Marine, Boston Whaler, Lund, and Sea Ray.

 Market and Competitive Conditions

 Demand for our products is typically seasonal, with sales generally highest in the second quarter of the calendar year. Strong competition exists in each of our product groups, but no single enterprise competes with us in all product groups. In each product area, competitors range in size from large, highly-diversified companies to small, single-product businesses. We also indirectly compete with businesses that offer alternative leisure products or activities. The following summarizes our competitive position in each segment:

 Propulsion. The marine engine market is highly competitive among several major international companies, such as outboard engine manufacturers based in Japan and several smaller companies. Our competitive advantage is a function of product features, technology, quality and durability, breadth of product line, performance, distribution and manufacturing capabilities, along with effective promotion, after-sales service, and distribution.

 Engine P&A. The marine parts and accessories market is highly competitive and fragmented. Our competitive advantage in this market includes our product breadth and quality, proprietary parts and technology, global distribution network, extensive portfolio of recognized brands, sales team, delivery timing, and service.

 Navico Group. Navico Group competes in the marine, RV, and specialty vehicle parts and accessories markets, which are also highly competitive and fragmented. Our competitive advantage in these markets includes our extensive portfolio of recognized brands, proprietary technology, integrated solutions, product quality, sales team, and service offering.

 Boat. Although there are many boat manufacturers, few manufacturers compete in the breadth of categories or geographies in which our Boat segment competes. We compete on the bases of product features, technology, quality, brand strength, dealer service, pricing, performance, value, durability, and styling, along with effective promotion and distribution. In addition, FBC competes on number and quality of locations, pricing, and service.

 Climate Change and Environmental Compliance

 Our customers rely on clean air and water to enjoy our products and services, and we are committed to practices and policies designed to help protect the environment and the well-being of our employees, customers, and the public. We seek to comply with applicable environmental regulatory and industry standards across all our facilities and in the products we manufacture. We strive continually to improve energy efficiency, minimize the carbon emissions of our operations, supply chain, and product portfolio, and deliver more cost-effective and lower carbon technology products and solutions to our customers. These environmental sustainability efforts are integrated into our business strategy and operations.

 Some of our recent sustainability projects and accomplishments include:

 Product Management

 In recognition of its sustainability efforts, Brunswick was listed among Newsweek's America's Most Responsible Companies for 2023 for the fourth consecutive year, Sustainalytics' "Industry Top Rated" for 2023, Newsweek's inaugural list of America's Greenest Companies and USA Today and Statista's inaugural Climate Leaders List, which recognizes companies' efforts to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, Mercury Marine received Green Masters status from the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council for the 13th consecutive year.

 For more information on our sustainability strategy, programming, data, and goals, we refer you to our annual Sustainability Report (which is not incorporated by reference herein), available on our website at

 We anticipate that increased global regulation relating to climate change, such as climate disclosure requirements or product emissions limitations, will require us to comply or potentially face market access limitations or other penalties, including fines. Our manufacturing operations and products are subject to numerous and increasingly strict federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations. As we evolve our product electrification strategy, we are subject to other regulations and requirements relating to the transportation, storage, handling, and use of batteries and the components used in battery manufacturing. Our products are subject to increasingly stringent regulations regarding chemical and material composition, and we are subject to extended producer responsibility laws and regulations requiring manufacturers to be responsible for collection, recovery, and recycling of wastes from certain products. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material impact on our capital expenditures, earnings, financial condition, or competitive position. There can be no assurance, however, that current or future environmental laws and regulations will not impose costly requirements upon us. Any failure to comply with applicable environmental laws, regulations, and contractual obligations could result in fines, suspension of production, the need to alter manufacturing processes, and legal liability, and could negatively affect our competitive position.

 For further information, refer to Section 1A, Risk Factors, for a discussion of risks related to environmental compliance and to Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of certain environmental proceedings.

 Human Capital Resources

 Brunswick is dedicated to creating an inspiring and inclusive work environment that attracts, develops, and retains top talent. This environment unlocks our employees' potential to continue transforming the marine industry.

 Employee Information

 As of December 31, 2023, we employed approximately 17,300 employees, 96 percent of whom were full-time. Our employee base is approximately 65 percent hourly and 35 percent salaried. Temporary and contingent employees (including interns and co-ops) and contractors accounted for approximately 2,300 additional workers.

 Approximately 2,500 of our U.S. employees belong to labor unions and approximately 1,000 additional employees are members of international unions or work councils. We believe that the relationships among our employees, the unions or work councils, and the Company remain stable. Mercury Marine and its largest union, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Lodge 1947, negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement in 2023, which will remain in place through September 30, 2028. During 2023, we experienced no union-related work stoppages.

 Diversity and Inclusion

 We view diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a strategic business initiative. We consider DEI to be a competitive advantage and have therefore focused our efforts on expanding diverse representation throughout our global workforce and reinforcing a culture of belonging at every worksite.

 A cross-functional/divisional core team leads our enterprise-wide initiative, TIDE (Together: Inclusion, Diversity and Equity), to integrate DEI in our business processes and behaviors.

 We maintain five employee resource groups (ERGs): Women on Water, Brunswick Black Professionals Network, Asians and Pacific Islanders in Marine, Organization for Hispanic/Latinos for Leadership and Advancement, and Brunswick Veterans Network. These ERGs are self-organized, Company-supported groups focused on cultivating a sense of belonging and inclusion at Brunswick. Each ERG strives to support employees by deepening engagement, unifying and connecting communities, and fostering professional and personal growth.

 Through TIDE and our ERGs, we accomplished the following in 2023:

 • Grew our ERGs to over 1,000 participants, up 100 percent over 2022.
 • Conducted 18 experiential activities, including commemorative events and cultural programming.
 • Held 10 professional and personal development events.
 • Introduced three new inclusion programs including the United People of Brunswick experience, Inspiring Inclusion Award and the Inclusivity & You learning program.
 • Developed three new pipeline programs to support diversity in early career hiring for technical talent.

 We support increasing representation of diverse populations at all levels of the organization. Women make up one-third of our Executive Officers and one-third of our Directors are female. Women comprise approximately 29 percent of our total global workforce, and racially or ethnically diverse employees make up approximately 25 percent of our U.S. workforce.

 We are proud to note that Forbes named Brunswick to its 2023 lists of World's Best Employers, America's Best Employers for Veterans, and America's Best Employers for Women. U.S. News and World Report named us one of the Best Companies to Work For in 2023, and Brunswick finished in the top 10 of all companies on both its Best Companies for Work-Life Balance and Best Companies for Quality of Pay lists. Boating Industry Magazine named four of our exceptional female colleagues as "Women Making Waves" and Manufacturing Institute (MI), the workforce development and education partner of the National Association of Manufacturers, named Brunswick Boat Group President Aine Denari as a 2023 Women MAKE America Awards Honoree.

 Health and Safety

 Employee health and safety are top priorities. We proactively identify and address potential safety risks in our business and operations. Our goal is to achieve zero work-related incidents and injuries. We maintain a Safety Management System (SMS) to formally address safety risks throughout the workplace and use our SMS to manage potential work-related hazards that pose a risk of high consequence of potential injury. Implementing processes and systems that meet SMS criteria is designed to result in less frequent and less severe work-related incidents and injuries.

 The Company's recordable and lost-time incident rates from 2021 to 2023, recorded as of December 31, are as follows:

 Our global recordable incident rate is considerably lower than the benchmarks of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for similar businesses and operations. Additionally, we reported no fatalities in 2023.

 Compensation and Benefits

 Our compensation philosophy is to encourage performance that creates sustainable, long-term shareholder value; motivates achievement of financial and strategic goals; attracts, retains, and motivates talent; and reinforces our pay-for-performance culture. We are committed, and strive to ensure, that employees are paid equitably for their work, regardless of their race or gender.

 We offer market-competitive salaries and wages including incentive bonus opportunities for managers and senior individual contributors, an equity incentive program for director-level positions and above, and a discretionary retirement contribution dependent on the Company's performance.

 Our range of benefits (varying by country) includes:

 • Paid time off (vacation, parental leave, sick time, and disability programs);
 • Healthcare coverage (medical, dental, prescription, vision, and hearing);
 • Financial savings and investment opportunities (flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement, employee stock purchase, and credit monitoring programs);
 • A suite of life, accident, and critical illness insurance programs;
 • Wellness programs; and
 • Educational assistance programs.

 Employee Learning and Development

 We support career advancement and create a rewarding environment for employees to learn, grow, and perform at their best. We provide opportunities for continuous learning and development, such as:

 • Workday Learning, a learning platform that offers courses in leadership and innovation, effective communication, and strategic thinking;
 • Rotational leadership programs to develop Brunswick's future business and financial leaders;
 • Women's development and mentoring programs, which enhance our succession bench strength and champion female leaders of the future; and
 • Wide-ranging hands-on learning and development programs to enhance and grow our critical functional skills.

 We recognize that we operate in competitive marketplaces when it comes to finding top talent, particularly in technical fields. We strive to offer our employees career-specific tools, skilled apprenticeship programs, and robust on-the-job training opportunities. Our technical career tracks provide development for engineers and technology personnel who will shape our future ACES initiatives. We also incentivize innovation through a long-established inventor recognition award program.

 Part of employee development includes annual performance feedback and management for all employees, for which we have a standard process that includes opportunities for employee engagement at every stage. We also maintain succession plans that foster internal promotion to key positions.

 We believe our strong compliance culture plays a central role in our success. The Integrity Playbook, Brunswick's code of conduct, serves as the foundation of our Ethics Program. In 2023, 97 percent of our active global salaried population completed our annual code of conduct training.

 Employee Engagement

 During 2023, Brunswick again completed a global employee engagement survey, in which approximately 85 percent of employees participated, an increase of three percentage points compared to 2022. Insights from the survey will be used to develop action plans at the manager, facility, division, and corporate level to further enhance employee satisfaction and positive connections to Brunswick.

 Item 1A. Risk Factors

 Our operations and financial results are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described below, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common stock.

 RISKS RELATED TO ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS

 Worldwide economic conditions significantly affect our industries and businesses, and economic decline can materially impact our financial results.

 In times of economic uncertainty or recession, consumers tend to have less discretionary income and defer significant spending on non-essential items, which may adversely affect our financial performance. Economic uncertainty caused by rising interest rates, inflation, international conflicts, and the macroeconomic environment may lead to unfavorable business outcomes. We continue to enhance our portfolio with new and/or expanded technologies, business models, services, and solutions that are less susceptible to economic cycles, but a portion of our business remains cyclical and sensitive to consumer spending on new engines, boats, and associated parts and accessories.

 Deterioration in general economic conditions that in turn diminishes consumer confidence or discretionary income may reduce our sales, or we may decide to lower pricing for our products, thus adversely affecting our financial results, including increasing the potential for future impairment charges. Further, most of our products are recreational, and consumers' limited discretionary income may be diverted to other activities that occupy their time, such as other forms of recreational, religious, cultural, or community activities. We cannot predict the strength of global economies or the timing of economic recoveries, either worldwide or in the specific markets in which we compete.

 Changes in currency exchange rates can adversely affect our results.

 Some of our sales are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Consequently, a strong U.S. dollar may adversely affect reported revenues and our profitability. We have hedging programs in place to reduce our risk to currency fluctuations; however, we cannot hedge against all currency risks, especially over the long term. We maintain a portion of our cost structure in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which partially mitigates the impact of a strengthening U.S. dollar. This includes boats manufactured in Europe and Canada, and smaller outboard engines either manufactured in China or purchased from our joint venture in Japan. We also continue to evaluate the supply chain and cost structure for opportunities to further mitigate foreign currency risks.

 We sell products manufactured in the U.S. into certain international markets, including Europe, Canada, Latin America and Asia-Pacific in U.S. dollars. Demand for our products in these markets may be diminished by a strengthening U.S. dollar, or we may need to lower prices to remain competitive. Some of our competitors with cost positions based outside the U.S., including Asian-based outboard engine manufacturers and European-based large fiberglass boat manufacturers, may have an improved cost position due to a strengthening U.S. dollar, which could result in pricing pressures on our products. Although these factors have existed for several years, we do not believe they have had a material adverse effect on our competitive position.

 Fiscal and monetary policy changes may negatively impact worldwide economic and credit conditions and adversely affect our industries, businesses, and financial condition.

 Fiscal and monetary policy could have a material adverse impact on worldwide economic conditions, the financial markets, and availability of credit and, consequently, may negatively affect our industries, businesses, and overall financial condition. Customers often finance purchases of our products, particularly boats, and as interest rates rise, the cost of financing the purchase also increases. If credit conditions worsen and adversely affect the ability of customers to finance potential purchases at acceptable terms and interest rates, it could result in a decrease in sales or delay improvement in sales.

 Adverse capital market conditions could have a negative impact on our financial results.

 We may rely on short-term capital markets to meet our working capital requirements, fund capital expenditures or pay dividends, and we maintain short-term borrowing facilities that can be used to meet these capital requirements. In addition, over the long term, we may determine that it is necessary to access the capital markets to refinance existing long-term indebtedness or to raise capital for other initiatives. Adverse economic and capital market conditions, market volatility, and regulatory uncertainty could negatively affect our ability to access capital markets or increase the cost to do so, which could adversely impact our business, financial results, and competitive position.

 Our profitability may suffer as a result of competitive pricing and other pressures.

 The introduction of lower-priced alternative products or services by other companies can hurt our competitive position in all of our businesses. We are constantly subject to competitive pressures in which predominantly international manufacturers may pursue a strategy of aggressive pricing, particularly during periods when their local currency weakens versus the U.S. dollar. Such pricing pressure may limit our ability to increase prices for our products in response to raw material and other cost increases and negatively affect our profit margins.

 In addition, our independent boat builder customers may react negatively to potential competition for their products from Brunswick's own boat brands, which can lead them to purchase marine engines, boat systems, parts and accessories, and marine engine supplies from competing manufacturers and may negatively affect demand for our products.

 Higher energy and fuel costs can affect our results.

 Higher energy and fuel costs increase operating expenses at our manufacturing facilities and the cost of shipping products to customers. In addition, increases in energy costs can adversely affect the pricing and availability of petroleum-based raw materials such as resins and foam that are used in many of our marine products. Higher fuel prices may also have an adverse effect on demand for our parts and accessories businesses, as they increase the cost of boat ownership and possibly affect product use.

 RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 Successfully managing our manufacturing operations is critical to our operating and financial results.

 Over the past several years, we have made strategic capital investments in capacity expansion activities to successfully capture growth opportunities and enhance product offerings, including expansions at our Fond du Lac, Wisconsin and Ensenada, Mexico facilities. We also continue to implement manufacturing efficiency enhancements that are important to our success. Conversely, we may make decisions to decrease production at existing facilities or reduce our manufacturing footprint in accordance with our business strategy. We must carefully manage these capital improvement projects, expansions, efficiency enhancements, and any consolidation or decrease in capacity utilization to ensure the projects meet cost targets, comply with applicable environmental, safety, and other regulations, uphold high-quality workmanship, and meet our business goals.

 Moving production to a different plant, expanding capacity at an existing facility, and decreasing or ceasing production at a facility involves risks, including difficulties initiating production within the cost and timeframe estimated, supplying product to customers when expected, integrating new products, and attracting and retaining skilled workers. If we fail to meet these objectives, it could adversely affect our ability to meet customer demand for products and increase the cost of production versus projections, both of which could result in a significant adverse impact on operating and financial results. Additionally, plant consolidation or expansion can result in manufacturing inefficiencies, additional expenses, including higher wages or severance costs, and cost inefficiencies, which could negatively impact financial results.

 Loss of key customers could harm our business.

 In each segment, we have important relationships with key customers, including White River Marine Group, LLC for the Propulsion and Navico Group segments and MarineMax, Inc. for the Boat segment. From time to time, contracts with these customers come up for renewal. We cannot be certain we will renew such contracts, or renew them on favorable terms. If we lose a key customer, or a significant portion of its business, we could be adversely affected. In addition, certain customers could try to negotiate more favorable pricing of our products, which could depress earnings. In an effort to mitigate the risk associated with reliance on key customer accounts, we continually monitor these relationships and maintain a complete and competitive product lineup.

 A material portion of our revenue is derived from international sources, which creates additional uncertainty.

 We intend to continue to expand our international operations and customer base as part of our growth strategy. Sales outside the United States, especially in emerging markets, are subject to various risks, including government embargoes or foreign trade restrictions, foreign currency effects, tariffs, customs duties, inflation, difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems, compliance with international laws, treaties, and regulations, changes in regulatory environments, disruptions in distribution, dependence on foreign personnel and unions, economic and social instability, and public health crises. In addition, there may be tax inefficiencies in repatriating cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries, or changes to tax laws that affect cash repatriation.

 Instability, including, but not limited to, political events, civil unrest, and an increase in criminal activity in locations where we maintain a significant presence could adversely impact our manufacturing and business operations. Decreased stability poses a risk of business interruption and delays in shipments of materials, components, and finished goods, as well as a risk of decreased local retail demand for our products.

 In addition, political and economic uncertainty and shifts pose risks of volatility in other global markets, which could affect our operations and financial results. Changes in U.S. policy regarding foreign trade or manufacturing may create negative sentiment about the U.S. among non-U.S. customers, employees, or prospective employees, which could adversely affect our business, sales, hiring, and employee retention. If we continue to expand our business globally, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks, which could materially impact international operations or the business as a whole.

 Our financial results may be adversely affected by our third party suppliers' increased costs or inability to meet required production levels due to increased demand or disruption of supply of raw materials, parts, and product components.

 We rely on third parties to supply raw materials used in the manufacturing process, including oil, aluminum, copper, steel, and resins, as well as product parts and components. The prices for these raw materials, parts, and components fluctuate depending on market conditions and, in some instances, commodity prices or trade policies, including tariffs. Substantial increases in the prices of raw materials, parts, and components would increase our operating costs, and could reduce our profitability if we are unable to recoup the increased costs through higher product prices or improved operating efficiencies. Similarly, if a critical supplier were to close its operations, cease manufacturing, or otherwise fail to deliver an essential component necessary to our manufacturing operations, that could detrimentally affect our ability to manufacture and sell our products, resulting in an interruption in business operations and/or a loss of sales.

 In addition, some components used in our manufacturing processes, including certain engine components, furniture, upholstery, and boat windshields, are available from a sole supplier or a limited number of suppliers. Operational and financial difficulties that these or other suppliers may face in the future could adversely affect their ability to supply us with the parts and components we need, which could significantly disrupt our operations. It may be difficult to find a replacement supplier for a limited or sole source raw material, part, or component without significant delay or on commercially reasonable terms. In addition, an uncorrected defect or supplier's variation in a raw material, part, or component, either unknown to us or incompatible with our manufacturing process, could jeopardize our ability to manufacture products.

 Some additional supply risks that could disrupt our operations, impair our ability to deliver products to customers, and negatively affect our financial results include:

 • financial pressures on our suppliers due to a weakening economy or unfavorable conditions in other end markets;
 • supplier manufacturing constraints and investment requirements;
 • deterioration of our relationships with suppliers;
 • events such as natural disasters, power outages, or labor strikes;
 • disruption at major global ports and shipping hubs; or
 • an outbreak of disease or facility closures due to COVID-19 or a similar public health threat.

 These risks are exacerbated in the case of single-source suppliers, and the exclusive supplier of a key component could potentially exert significant bargaining power over price, quality, warranty claims, or other terms.

 We experienced supply shortages and increases in costs to certain materials in 2023. We continue to address these issues by identifying alternative suppliers for key materials and components, working to secure adequate inventories of critical supplies, and continually monitoring the capabilities of our supplier base. In the future, however, we may experience shortages, delayed delivery, and/or increased prices for key materials, parts, and supplies that are essential to our manufacturing operations.

 Adverse weather conditions and climate change events can have a negative effect on revenues.

 Changes in seasonal weather conditions can have a significant effect on our operating and financial results. Sales of our marine products are typically stronger just before and during spring and summer, and favorable weather during these months generally has a positive effect on consumer demand. Conversely, unseasonably cool weather, excessive rainfall, or drought conditions during these periods can reduce or change the timing of demand. Climate change could have an impact on longer-term natural weather trends, resulting in environmental changes including, but not limited to, increases in severe weather; changing sea levels; changes in sea, land, and air temperatures; poor water conditions; and reduced access to water, which could disrupt or negatively affect our business.

 Catastrophic events, including natural and environmental disasters, acts of terrorism, or civil unrest, could have a negative effect on our operations and financial results.

 Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, storms, and catastrophic natural or environmental disasters, as well as acts of terrorism or civil unrest, could disrupt our distribution channel, operations, or supply chain and decrease consumer demand. If a catastrophic event takes place in one of our major markets, our sales could be diminished or our assets could be damaged. Additionally, if such an event occurs near our business locations, manufacturing facilities, or key supplier facilities, business operations and/or operating systems could be interrupted. We could be uniquely affected by weather-related catastrophic events, the severity of which may increase as a result of climate change, due to the location of certain of our boat facilities in coastal Florida, the size of the manufacturing operation in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, and Freedom Boat Club locations on waterfronts.

 Our ability to remain competitive depends on successfully introducing new products, experiences, and services that meet customer expectations.

 We believe that our customers look for and expect quality, innovation, and advanced features when evaluating and making purchasing decisions about products and services in the marketplace. Our ability to remain competitive and meet our growth objectives may be adversely affected by difficulties or delays in product development, such as an inability to develop viable new products or customer solutions, gain market acceptance of new products, generate sufficient capital to fund new product development, or obtain adequate intellectual property protection for new products. To meet ever-changing consumer demands, timing of market entry, pricing of new products, and satisfying customers are all critical. As a result, we may not be able to introduce new products that are necessary to remain competitive in all markets that we serve. Furthermore, we must continue to meet or exceed customers' expectations regarding product quality, experiences, and after-sales service or our operating results could suffer.

 Our ability to meet demand in a rapidly changing environment may adversely affect our results of operations.

 Although we have remained focused on our strategic priorities, our businesses may experience difficulty in meeting demand, particularly in rapidly changing economic conditions. We may not be able to recruit or retain sufficient skilled labor or our suppliers may not be able to deliver sufficient quantities of parts and components for us to match production with forecasted demand. Consumers may pursue other recreational activities if our products are not readily available, consumers may purchase from competitors, or our fixed costs may grow, all of which could adversely impact our results of operations.

 We have a fixed cost base that can affect our profitability if demand decreases.

 The fixed cost levels of operating production facilities can put pressure on profit margins when sales and production decline. We have maintained discipline over our fixed cost base, and improvements in gross margin can help mitigate the risks related to a fixed cost base. However, our profitability is dependent, in part, on our ability to absorb fixed costs over an increasing number of products sold and shipped. Decreased demand or the need to reduce inventories can lower our production levels and impact our ability to absorb fixed costs, consequently materially affecting our results.

 Actual or potential public health emergencies, epidemics, or pandemics, such as COVID-19, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

 The impact of actual or potential public health emergencies, epidemics, or pandemics on the Company, our suppliers, dealers, and customers, and the general economy could be wide-ranging and significant, depending on the nature of the issue, governmental actions taken in response, and the public reaction. The impact of such events could include employee illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in economic activity, and supply chain interruptions, which could cause significant disruptions to global economies and financial markets. In addition, these events could result in future significant volatility in demand, positively or negatively, for one or more of our products.

 The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in disruption, uncertainty, and volatility in the global financial and credit markets, and similar future events could do the same. Such volatility could impact our access to capital resources and liquidity in the future, including making credit difficult to obtain or only available on less favorable terms. Impact on our operations could also be material, affecting employee absenteeism rates, facility closures, or adverse effects on customers or suppliers. These impacts could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Some of our operations are conducted by joint ventures that are not operated solely for our benefit.

 We share ownership and management responsibilities with jointly owned companies such as BAC and Tohatsu Marine Corporation. These joint ventures may not have the same goals, strategies, priorities, or resources as we do because they are intended to be operated for the benefit of all co-owners, rather than for our exclusive benefit. If our interests are not aligned, it could negatively impact our sales or financial results.

 RISKS RELATED TO OUR STRATEGIC PLANS

 Failure to execute our strategic plan and growth initiatives could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

 Our ability to continue generating strong cash flow and profits depends partly on the sustained successful execution of our strategic plan and growth initiatives, including optimizing our business and product portfolio, continuing to successfully integrate acquisitions, improving operating efficiency, and expanding into new adjacent markets. To address risks associated with our plan and growth initiatives, we have established processes to regularly review, manage, and modify our plans, and we believe we have appropriate oversight to monitor initiatives and their impact. However, our strategic plan and growth initiatives may require significant investment and management attention, which could result in the diversion of these resources from the core business and other business issues and opportunities. Additionally, any strategic plan is subject to certain risks, including market conditions, customer acceptance, competition, the ability to manufacture products on schedule and to specification, the supply chain, and/or the ability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel. There is no assurance that we will be able to develop and successfully implement our strategic plan and growth initiatives in a manner that fully achieves our strategic objectives.

 Our business and operations are dependent on the expertise of our key contributors, our successful implementation of succession plans, and our ability to attract and retain management employees and skilled labor.

 The talents and efforts of our employees, particularly key managers, are vital to our success. Our management team has significant industry experience and would be difficult to replace. We may be unable to retain them or to attract other highly qualified employees. Failure to hire, develop, and retain highly qualified and diverse employee talent and to develop and implement an adequate succession plan for the management team could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business and our future success. We perform an annual review of management succession plans with the Board of Directors, including reviewing executive officer and other important positions to substantially mitigate the risk associated with key contributor transitions, but we cannot ensure that all transitions will be implemented successfully.

 Our ability to continue to execute our growth strategy could potentially be adversely affected by the effectiveness of organizational changes. Any disruption or uncertainty resulting from such changes could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 Much of our future success depends on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain skilled labor. If we are not successful in these efforts, we may be unable to meet our operating goals and plans, which may impact our financial results. We continually invest in automation and improve our efficiency, but availability and retention of skilled hourly workers remains critical to our operations. In order to manage this risk, we regularly monitor and make improvements to wages and benefit programs, as well as develop and improve recruiting, training, and safety programs to attract and retain an experienced and skilled workforce.

 The inability to successfully integrate acquisitions could negatively impact financial results.

 Our strategic acquisitions pose risks, such as our ability to project and evaluate market demand; maximize potential synergies and cost savings; make accurate accounting estimates; and achieve anticipated business objectives. Acquisitions present integration risks, including:

 • disruptions in core, adjacent, or acquired businesses that could make it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships, including customer and supplier relationships;
 • the possibility that the expected synergies and value creation will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period;
 • the possibility that we will incur unexpected costs and liabilities;
 • diversion of management attention; and
 • difficulties recruiting and retaining employees.

 If we fail to timely and successfully integrate acquired businesses into existing operations, we may see higher costs, lost sales, or otherwise diminished earnings and financial results.

 There can be no assurance that strategic divestitures or restructurings will provide business benefits.

 As part of our strategy, we continuously evaluate our portfolio of businesses to further maximize shareholder value. We have previously, and may in the future, make changes to our portfolio which may be material. Divestitures involve risks, including difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products, and personnel, disruption in our operations or businesses, finding a suitable purchaser, the diversion of management's attention from our other businesses, the potential loss of key employees, adverse effects on relationships with our dealer or supplier partners or their businesses, the erosion of employee morale or customer confidence, and the retention of contingent liabilities related to the divested business. If we do not successfully manage the risks associated with divestitures, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected as the potential strategic benefits may not be realized or may take longer to realize than expected.

 An inability to identify and complete targeted acquisitions could negatively impact financial results.

 Our growth initiatives include making strategic acquisitions when appropriate, which depend on the availability of suitable targets at acceptable terms and our ability to complete the transactions. In managing our acquisition strategy, we conduct rigorous due diligence, involve various functions, and continually review target acquisitions, all of which we believe mitigates some of our acquisition risks. However, we cannot assure that suitable acquisitions will be identified or consummated or that, if consummated, they will be successful. Acquisitions include a number of risks, including our ability to project and evaluate market demand, identify and realize potential synergies and cost savings, and make accurate financial forecasts, as well as diversion of management attention during the pursuit of acquisitions. Uncertainties exist in assessing the value, risks, profitability, and liabilities associated with certain businesses or assets, negotiating acceptable terms, obtaining financing on acceptable terms, and receiving any necessary regulatory approvals. As we continue to grow, in part, through acquisitions, our success depends on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these risks. Our failure to successfully do so could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 RISKS RELATED TO OUR DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AND FRANCHISEES

 Our financial results could be adversely affected if we are unable to maintain effective distribution.

 We rely on third-party dealers and distributors to sell most of our products. Maintaining a reliable network of dealers is essential to our success. We face competition from other manufacturers in attracting and retaining distributors and independent boat dealers. A significant deterioration in the number or effectiveness of our dealers and distributors could have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

 Although at present we believe dealer health to be generally favorable, weakening demand for marine products could hurt our dealers' financial performance. In particular, reduced cash flow from decreases in sales and tightening credit markets could impair dealers' ability to fund operations. Inability to fund operations can force dealers to cease business, and we may be unable to obtain alternate distribution in the vacated market. An inability to obtain alternate distribution could unfavorably affect our net sales through reduced market presence. If economic conditions deteriorate, we anticipate that dealer failures or voluntary market exits would increase, especially if overall retail demand materially declines.

 Dealer or distributor inability to secure adequate access to capital could adversely affect our sales.

 Our dealers require adequate liquidity to finance their operations, including purchasing our products. Dealers are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that could unfavorably affect their liquidity positions, including, among other things, continued access to adequate financing sources on a timely basis on reasonable terms. These financing sources are vital to our ability to sell products through our distribution network, particularly to boat and engine dealers. Entities affiliated with Wells Fargo & Company, including BAC, our 49 percent owned joint venture, finance a significant portion of our boat and engine sales to dealers through floor plan financing to marine dealers.

 Many factors continue to influence the availability and terms of financing that our dealer floor plan financing providers offer, including:

 • their ability to access certain capital markets, such as the securitization and the commercial paper markets, and to fund their operations in a cost effective manner;
 • the performance of their overall credit portfolios;
 • their willingness to accept the risks associated with lending to marine dealers;
 • the overall creditworthiness of those dealers; and
 • the overall aging and level of pipeline inventories.

 Our sales could be adversely affected if financing terms change unfavorably or if BAC were to be terminated. This could require dealers to find alternative sources of financing, including our direct financing to dealers, which could require additional capital to fund the associated receivables.

 Inventory reductions by major dealers, retailers, and independent boat builders could adversely affect our financial results.

 If demand for our products declines or if new product introductions are expected to replace existing products, our dealers, retailers, and other distributors could decide to reduce the number of units they hold. These actions could result in wholesale sales reductions in excess of retail sales reductions and would likely result in lower production levels of certain products, potentially causing lower rates of absorption of fixed costs in our manufacturing facilities and lower margins. While we have processes in place to help manage dealer inventories at appropriate levels, potential inventory reductions remain a risk to our future sales and results of operations.

 We may be required to repurchase inventory or accounts of certain dealers.

 We have agreements with certain third-party finance companies to provide financing to our customers, enabling them to purchase our products. In connection with these agreements, we may either have obligations to repurchase our products from the finance company or have recourse obligations. These obligations may be triggered if our dealers default on their payment or other obligations to the finance companies.

 Our maximum contingent obligation to repurchase inventory and our maximum contingent recourse obligations on customer receivables are less than the total balances of dealer financings outstanding under these programs, because our obligations under certain of these arrangements are subject to caps or are limited based on the age of product. Our risk related to these arrangements is partially mitigated by the proceeds we receive on the resale of repurchased product to other dealers, or by recoveries on receivables purchased under the recourse obligations.

 Our inventory repurchase obligations relate mainly to the inventory floor plan credit facilities of our boat and engine dealers. Our actual historical repurchase experience related to these arrangements has been substantially less than our maximum contractual obligations. If dealers default on their obligations, file for bankruptcy, or cease operations, we could incur losses associated with the repurchase of our products. In addition, our net sales and earnings may be unfavorably affected due to reduced market coverage and an associated decline in sales.

 Future declines in marine industry demand could cause an increase in repurchase activity, or could require us to incur losses in excess of established reserves. In addition, our cash flow and loss experience could be adversely affected if repurchased inventory is not successfully distributed to other dealers in a timely manner, or if the recovery rate on the resale of the product declines. The finance companies could require changes in repurchase or recourse terms that would result in an increase in our contractual contingent obligations.

 The franchise business model of Freedom Boat Club presents risks.

 Our franchisees are an integral part of our Freedom Boat Club business and its growth strategies. We may be unable to successfully implement the growth strategies if our franchisees do not participate in the implementation of those strategies or if we are unable to attract a sufficient number of qualified franchisees.

 While our franchisees are required to comply with our franchise and related agreements, our franchisees are independent and manage their boat clubs as independent businesses, responsible for all day-to-day operations of their boat clubs. If these franchisees fail to maintain or act in accordance with applicable brand standards; experience service, safety, or other operational problems, including any data breach involving club member information; or project a brand image inconsistent with ours, our image and reputation could suffer, which in turn could hurt our business and operating results.

 RISKS RELATED TO CYBERSECURITY AND TECHNOLOGY

 Our business operations could be negatively impacted by an outage or breach of our information technology systems, operational technology systems, or a cybersecurity event.

 We manage our global business operations through a variety of information technology (IT) and operational technology systems which we continually enhance to increase efficiency and security. We depend on these systems for commercial transactions, customer interactions, manufacturing, branding, employee tracking, and other applications. Some of the systems are based on legacy technology and operate with a minimal level of available support, and recent acquisitions using other systems have added to the complexity of our IT infrastructure. New system implementations across the enterprise also pose risks of outages or disruptions, which could affect our suppliers, commercial operations, and customers. We continue to upgrade, streamline, and integrate these systems and have invested in strategies to prevent a failure or breach but, like those of other companies, our systems are susceptible to outages due to natural disasters, power loss, computer viruses, security breaches, hardware or software vulnerabilities, disruptions, and similar events.

 In June 2023, Brunswick disclosed an IT security incident that impacted some systems and global facilities. We activated our response protocols, which included pausing operations in some locations, engaging leading security experts and coordinating with relevant law enforcement agencies. Normal global business operations resumed over the course of nine days following the incident. However, if a similar event occurred, and if legacy systems or other key systems were to fail or if our IT systems were unable to communicate effectively, this could result in missed or delayed sales or lost opportunities for cost-reduction or efficient cash management.

 We exchange information with many trading partners across all aspects of our commercial operations through our IT systems. A breakdown, outage, malicious intrusion, breach, ransom attack, or other disruption of communications could result in erroneous or fraudulent transactions, disclosure of confidential information, loss of reputation and confidence, and may also result in legal claims or proceedings, penalties, and remediation costs. We have numerous e-commerce and e-marketing portals and our systems may contain personal information of customers or employees; therefore, we must continue to be diligent in protecting against malicious cyber attacks. We have been the target of attempted cyber attacks and other security threats and we may be subject to future breaches of our IT systems. We have programs in place that are intended to detect, contain, and respond to data security incidents and that provide at least annual employee awareness training regarding phishing, malware, and other cyber risks. However, because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and may be difficult to detect, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventive measures. Moreover, the rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify our cybersecurity risks. If our security measures are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to obtain access to or acquire personal or other confidential data. Depending on the nature of the information compromised, we may also have obligations to notify consumers and/or employees about the incident, and we may need to provide some form of remedy, such as a subscription to a credit monitoring service, for the individuals affected by the incident. For example, we provided certain affected individuals credit monitoring as a result of the June IT Security Incident. This or future events could negatively affect our relationships with customers or trading partners, lead to potential claims against us, and damage our image and reputation.

 We rely on third parties for computing, storage, processing, and similar services. Any disruption of or interference with our use of these third-party services could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

 Most of our business systems reside on third-party outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. We are therefore vulnerable to service interruptions experienced by these providers and could experience interruptions, delays, or outages in service availability in the future due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, human, hardware or software errors, cyber attacks, hosting disruptions, and capacity constraints. While we have mitigation and service redundancy plans in place, outages and/or capacity constraints could still arise from a number of causes such as technical failures, natural disasters, fraud, or internal or third-party security attacks on us or our third-party providers, which could negatively impact our ability to manufacture and/or operate our business.

 We collect, store, process, share, and use personal information, and rely on third parties that are not directly under our control to do so as well, which subjects us to legal obligations, laws and regulations related to security and privacy, and any actual or perceived failure to meet those obligations could harm our business.

 We are subject to various data protection and privacy laws and regulations in the countries where we operate because we collect, store, process, share, and use personal information, and we rely on third parties that are not directly under our control to do so as well. For example, we are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union (EU) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Although we have implemented plans to comply with these laws, GDPR, CCPA, and future laws and regulations could impose even greater compliance burdens and risks with respect to privacy and data security than prior laws. The EU (through the GDPR) and a growing number of legislative and regulatory bodies elsewhere in the world have adopted consumer notification requirements in the event of unauthorized access to or acquisition of certain types of personal information. These breach notification laws continue to evolve and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. Complying with these obligations could cause us to incur substantial costs, require significant management time and attention, and increase negative publicity surrounding any incident that compromises personal information.

 RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 Our success depends upon the continued strength of our brands.

 We believe that our brands, particularly including Mercury Marine, Boston Whaler, Lund, and Sea Ray, significantly contribute to our success, and that maintaining and enhancing these brands is important to expanding our customer base. A failure to adequately promote, protect, and strengthen our brands could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, in connection with the divestiture of the bowling and billiards businesses, we licensed certain trademarks and servicemarks, including use of the name "Brunswick," to the acquiring companies. Our reputation may be adversely affected by the purchasers' inappropriate use of the marks or of the name Brunswick, including potential negative publicity, loss of confidence, or other damage to our image due to this licensed use.

 Either inadequate intellectual property protection that could allow others to use our technologies and impair our ability to compete or the failure to successfully defend against patent infringement claims could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 We regard much of the technology underlying our products as proprietary. We rely on a combination of patents, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws; employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements; and other contracts to establish and protect our technology and other intellectual property rights. However, we remain subject to risks, including:

 • the steps we take to protect our proprietary technology may be inadequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology;
 • third parties may independently develop similar technology;
 • agreements containing protections may be breached or terminated;
 • we may not have adequate remedies for breaches;
 • existing patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret laws may afford limited protection;
 • a third party could copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology without authorization; or
 • we may be required to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights, and we may not be successful.

 Policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult, particularly outside the U.S., and litigating intellectual property claims may result in substantial cost and divert management's attention.

 In addition, we may be required to defend our products against patent or other intellectual property infringement claims or litigation. Besides defense expenses and costs, we may not prevail in such cases, forcing us to seek licenses or royalty arrangements from third parties, which we may not be able to obtain on reasonable terms, or subjecting us to an order or requirement to stop manufacturing, using, selling, or distributing products that included challenged intellectual property, which could harm our business and financial results.

 RISKS RELATED TO OUR REGULATORY, ACCOUNTING, LEGAL, AND TAX ENVIRONMENT

 Changes to trade policy, tariffs, and import/export regulations may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Changes in laws and policies governing trade could adversely affect our business and trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries. We continue to be subject to meaningful tariffs, such as China Section 301 investigation tariffs, and there is no assurance that we will be granted exclusions in the future. Like many other multinational corporations, we do a significant amount of business that would be affected by changes to the trade policies of the U.S. and foreign countries (including governmental action related to tariffs and international trade agreements). Such changes have the potential to adversely impact the U.S. economy, our industry, our suppliers, and global demand for our products and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 An impairment in the carrying value of goodwill, trade names, and other long-lived assets could negatively affect our consolidated results of operations and net worth.

 Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as our trade names, are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition and are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. In evaluating the potential for impairment of goodwill and trade names, we make assumptions regarding future operating performance, business trends, and market and economic conditions. Such analyses further require us to make certain assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates, and discount rates. Uncertainties are inherent in evaluating and applying these factors to the assessment of goodwill and trade name recoverability. We could be required to evaluate the recoverability of goodwill or trade names prior to the annual assessment if we experience business disruptions, unexpected significant declines in operating results, a divestiture of a significant component of our business, or declines in market capitalization.

 During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $ 16.6 million of intangible asset impairment charges recognized in Restructuring, exit and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, including a $ 13.0 million impairment of the Navico trade name as a result of declines in forecasted revenues primarily driven by macroeconomic factors and a decline in market conditions. Further, as part of our required fourth quarter goodwill impairment testing, the estimated fair value of the Navico Group reporting unit was approximately 10 percent in excess of its carrying value, which included goodwill of $ 599.7 million. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future. To the extent future operating results differ from those in our current forecasts, or if the assumptions underlying the discount rates change, it is possible that further impairment charges could be recorded.

 We also continually evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or whether the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. We use an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flow over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether the asset is recoverable.

 As of December 31, 2023, the balance of total goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets was $1,342.2 million, which represents approximately 22 percent of total assets. If the future operating performance of either the Company or individual operating segments is not sufficient, we could be required to record non-cash impairment charges. Impairment charges could substantially affect our reported earnings in the periods such charges are recorded. In addition, impairment charges could indicate a reduction in business value which could limit our ability to obtain adequate financing in the future.

 We manufacture and sell products that create exposure to potential claims and litigation.

 Our manufacturing operations and the products we produce could result in product quality, warranty, personal injury, property damage, and other issues, thereby increasing the risk of litigation and potential liability as well as regulatory fines. To manage this risk, we have established a global, enterprise-wide program charged with the responsibility for reviewing, addressing, and reporting on product integrity issues. Historically, the resolution of such claims has not had a materially adverse effect on our business, and we maintain what we believe to be adequate insurance coverage to mitigate a portion of these risks. However, we may experience material losses in the future, incur significant costs to defend claims or issue product recalls, experience claims in excess of our insurance coverage or that are not covered by insurance, or be subjected to fines or penalties. Our reputation may be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, including potential negative publicity about our products. We record accruals for known potential liabilities, but there is the possibility that actual losses may exceed these accruals and therefore negatively impact earnings.

 Compliance with environmental, health, safety, zoning, and other laws and regulations may increase costs and reduce demand for our products.

 We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations, including product safety, environmental, health and safety, and other regulations. While we believe that we maintain the requisite licenses and permits and that we are in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations, a failure to satisfy these and other regulatory requirements could result in fines or penalties, and compliance could increase the cost of operations. The adoption of additional laws, rules, and regulations, including stricter emissions standards or limitations on the use of internal combustion engines, could increase our manufacturing costs, require additional product development investment, increase consumer pricing, and reduce consumer demand for our products or boat club operations.

 Environmental restrictions, boat plant emission restrictions, and permitting and zoning requirements can limit production capacity, access to water for boating (or certain types of boats or propulsion) and marinas, and storage space. While future requirements, including any imposed on recreational boating, are not expected to be unduly restrictive, they may deter potential customers, thereby reducing our sales. Furthermore, regulations allowing the sale of fuel containing higher levels of ethanol for automobiles, which is not appropriate or intended for use in marine engines, may nonetheless result in increased warranty, service costs, customer dissatisfaction with products, and other claims against us if boaters mistakenly use this fuel in marine engines, causing damage to and the degradation of components in their marine engines. Many of our customers use our products for fishing and related recreational activities. Regulatory or commercial policies and practices impacting access to water, including availability of slip locations and/or the ability to transfer boats among different waterways, access to fisheries, or the ability to fish in some areas could negatively affect demand for our products. As we evolve our product electrification strategy, we are potentially subject to emerging regulations and requirements under the proposed European Union Battery Directive or other similar regulations. These requirements, if adopted, could increase our costs, potentially reducing consumer demand for our products.

 Our manufacturing processes involve the use, handling, storage, and contracting for recycling or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes. Accordingly, we are subject to regulations regarding these substances, and the misuse or mishandling of such substances could expose us to liabilities, including claims for property, personal injury, or natural resources damages, or fines. We are also subject to laws requiring the cleanup of contaminated property, including cleanup efforts currently underway. If a release of hazardous substances occurs at or from one of our current or former properties or another location where we have disposed of hazardous materials, we may be held liable for the contamination, regardless of knowledge or whether we were at fault, and the amount of such liability could be material.

 Additionally, we are subject to laws governing our relationships with employees, including, but not limited to, employment obligations as a federal contractor and employee wage, hour, and benefits issues, such as health care benefits. Compliance with these rules and regulations, and compliance with any changes to current regulations, could increase the cost of our operations.

 Changes in income tax laws or enforcement could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.

 Our provision for income taxes and cash tax liability may be adversely impacted by changes in tax laws and interpretations in the U.S. or in other countries in which we operate. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) included various tax provisions, including a 15% minimum tax on global adjusted financial statement income. While we do not believe the IRA will have a material negative impact on our business, it is possible that future interpretations or additional tax law changes could have a material impact on the Company's tax rate. In addition, many non-U.S. jurisdictions are implementing local legislation based upon the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's base erosion and profit shifting project. These changes could negatively impact our tax provision, cash flows, and/or tax-related balance sheet amounts, including our deferred tax asset values, and increase the complexity, burden, and cost of tax compliance.

 RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK

 The timing and amount of our share repurchases are subject to a number of uncertainties.

 The Board of Directors has authorized our discretionary repurchase of outstanding common stock, to be systematically completed in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. In 2023, we repurchased $ 275.0 million of shares, and we plan to continue share repurchases in 2024 and beyond. The amount and timing of share repurchases are based on a variety of factors. Important considerations that could cause us to limit, suspend, or delay future stock repurchases include:

 • unfavorable market and economic conditions;
 • the trading price of our common stock;
 • the nature and magnitude of other investment opportunities available to us from time to time;
 • the availability of cash; and
 • additional taxes imposed on share repurchases.

 Delaying, limiting, or suspending our stock repurchase program may negatively affect performance versus earnings per share targets, and ultimately our stock price.
 Certain activist shareholder actions could cause us to incur expense and hinder execution of our strategy.

 We may at times be subject to certain divisive activist shareholder tactics, which can take many forms. Some shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs, such as legal fees and expenses, and divert management's and our Board's attention and resources from our businesses and strategic plans. Additionally, public shareholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future, adversely affect our relationships with dealers, distributors, or customers, make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, and cause our stock price to fluctuate based on temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business. These risks could adversely affect our business and operating results.

 Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

 Item 1C. Cybersecurity

 Brunswick's leadership recognizes the importance of information security and managing cybersecurity risks across the enterprise. We manage our global business operations through a variety of systems for commercial transactions, customer interactions, manufacturing, branding, employee tracking, and other applications. Systems based on legacy technology, sometimes added through acquisitions or hosted by third parties, and/or that contain personal information of customers or employees, present risks of erroneous or fraudulent transactions, disclosure of personal, sensitive, and confidential information, loss of reputation and confidence, potential impacts on our operations, and may result in legal claims or proceedings, penalties, and remediation costs. Our mature cybersecurity program has been strategically designed to assess, identify, and manage these cyber risks, protect the organization, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents.

 Brunswick's Board of Directors (the Board) and its committees are actively engaged in managing cybersecurity risk and overseeing our information security programs. The Audit and Finance Committee (the Committee) is primarily responsible for oversight of Brunswick's information technology and information security/cybersecurity programs. The Committee is composed of directors with expertise in technology, audit, finance, and compliance, equipping them to effectively oversee the program. The Chief Information Officer (CIO) and/or Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) update the Committee at each of its regularly scheduled meetings. These reports include updates on the Company's cybersecurity programs and key performance indicators; assessment of the program; emerging risks; policies, procedures, and training; and risk mitigation strategies. The CIO and CISO also provide the full Board with information technology and cybersecurity reports on at least an annual basis and with greater frequency as necessary. In addition, the Board oversees Brunswick's long-standing enterprise risk management (ERM) process, which regularly identifies, assesses, and mitigates enterprise and emerging risks, including cyber risks.

 The underlying controls of our cyber risk management program are based on recognized best practices and standards for cybersecurity and information technology, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). A dedicated Office of the CISO, which reports to the CIO, is responsible for developing enterprise-wide cybersecurity strategy, architecture, policies, processes, and controls, and is directly responsible for our cybersecurity program. Our cybersecurity team members have extensive information technology and program management experience. The CIO and/or CISO personnel regularly inform the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and other members of senior management about the program, best practices, current cybersecurity threats, the risk landscape, and mitigation approaches.

 We use various tools and methodologies to identify, manage, and test for cybersecurity risk on a regular cadence both at the enterprise level and using third party service providers. These third parties include cybersecurity managed security service providers (MSSPs), consultants, advisors, and auditors, who we engage to evaluate our controls, whether through penetration testing, independent audits, or consulting on best practices to address new threats or challenges. We also actively engage with key vendors, industry participants, and law enforcement communities as part of our continuing efforts to evaluate and improve our program. Internally, our employees are a key part of our program. All employees are required to complete cybersecurity training at least once every year, and employees in certain roles must complete additional, specialized cybersecurity training on a regular basis.

 Our regular interactions with third party vendors and suppliers also pose a cybersecurity risk that could adversely impact our business or employees. We conduct information security assessments before onboarding and upon detection of an increase in risk profile. In addition, we require providers to meet appropriate security requirements, controls and responsibilities and include additional security and privacy addenda to our contracts where applicable. We also make available cybersecurity education and awareness materials to our suppliers.

 The Office of the CISO continually works to enhance our robust enterprise security structure with the ultimate goal of preventing cybersecurity incidents to the extent feasible, while simultaneously increasing our system resilience in an effort to minimize the business impact should an incident occur. We have an established playbook to promptly detect, assess, and respond to cyber incidents. Depending on the nature and severity of an incident, this process provides for escalating notification to functional leaders, senior management, our CEO, and the Board.

 On June 13, 2023, Brunswick disclosed an IT security incident that impacted some systems and global facilities. We activated our response protocols, including pausing operations in some locations, engaging leading security experts, and coordinating with relevant law enforcement agencies. Normal global business operations resumed over the course of nine days following the incident. We estimate the incident resulted in lost revenue of approximately $ 80 million to $ 85 million and operating earnings of $ 35 million to $ 40 million. To date, Brunswick has not identified any other cyber event or risks from cybersecurity threats that could be considered material, individually or in the aggregate.

 Notwithstanding our vigilant cybersecurity program, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on us. For further information, refer to Section 1A, Risk Factors, for a discussion of risks related to cybersecurity and technology.

 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Brunswick Corporation (the Company, we, us, our) are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our business and by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Actual results may differ materially from expectations and projections as of the date of this filing due to various risks and uncertainties. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements, refer to Forward-Looking Statements above.

 Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. A "non-GAAP financial measure" is a numerical measure of a registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. For example, the discussion of our cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity; the discussion of our net sales includes net sales on a constant currency basis; the discussion of our net sales includes net sales excluding acquisitions; and the discussion of our earnings includes a presentation of operating earnings and operating margin excluding restructuring, exit and impairment charges, purchase accounting amortization, acquisition, integration and IT-related costs, IT security incident costs, Sport Yacht & Yachts, reclassification of held-for-sale items, gain on sale of assets, TN-BC Holdings LLC joint venture impairment, loss on early extinguishment of debt, special tax items, and other applicable charges and of diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.

 We include non-GAAP financial measures in Management's Discussion and Analysis as management believes these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view our performance using the same tools that management uses to evaluate our ongoing business performance. In order to better align our reported results with the internal metrics management uses to evaluate business performance as well as to provide better comparisons to prior periods and peer data, non-GAAP measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to acquisitions, among other adjustments.

 We do not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because we are unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include restructuring, exit and impairment costs, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.

 As previously announced on June 13, 2023, the Company experienced an IT security incident that impacted some of its systems and global facilities. Please refer to Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

 Change in Reportable Segments

 Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine Parts and Accessories (Engine P&A), Navico Group and Boat to align with its internal operating structure. For further information, refer to Note 5 – Segment Information in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 During the fourth quarter of 2023, we acquired additional Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights as well as certain marine assets in the Southeast United States for net cash consideration of $16.0 million. On September 1, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fliteboard Pty Ltd for $87.6 million net cash consideration. Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 During the second quarter of 2022, we acquired certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights as well as certain marine assets in the Southeast United States for net cash consideration of $93.9 million. Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 On October 4, 2021, we completed the acquisition of Navico for $1.094 billion net cash consideration. Navico was a privately held global company based in Egersund, Norway, and is a global leader in marine electronics and sensors, including multi-function displays, fish finders, autopilots, sonar, radar, and cartography. We also completed the acquisitions of substantially all the net assets of RELiON Battery, LLC, SemahTronix, LLC, Fanautic Club, and certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights in the United States during 2021 for net cash consideration of $66.1 million. Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 Matters Affecting Comparability
 Changes in Foreign Currency Rates. Percentage changes in net sales expressed in constant currency reflect the impact that changes in currency exchange rates had on comparisons of net sales. To determine this information, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates 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 23 percent of our annual net sales are transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. Our most material exposures include sales in Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and Brazilian real.

 The table below summarizes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and also the impact of acquisitions on our net sales:

 Sales in 2023 were below the prior year as higher discounts in select segments coupled with the impact of cautious wholesale ordering patterns by dealers, OEMs and retailers in the second half of the year were partially offset by successful new product momentum, positive mix and pricing. Refer to the Propulsion, Engine P&A, Navico Group and Boat segments for further details on the drivers of net sales changes.

 Gross margin percentage decreased 70 basis points in 2023 when compared with 2022 driven by higher manufacturing costs including material and labor inflation (260 bps), depreciation (60 bps), absorption (35 bps), the IT security incident (30 bps), and unfavorable foreign currency exchange-rate fluctuations (25 bps), offset by sales-related drivers (330 bps) and acquisitions (10 bps).

 Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 140 basis points during 2023 when compared with the same prior year period, due to lower sales (70 bps), increased relative spending on technology initiatives and the IT security incident (20 bps), sales and marketing (20 bps), operating expenses associated with current year acquisitions (20 bps) and amortization (10 bps).

 During 2023, we recorded restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $54.7 million compared with $25.1 million in 2022. The Company estimates the restructuring actions executed in 2023 will result in approximately $45 million of annualized cost savings. The future cost savings related to restructuring actions executed in 2022 are not expected to be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

 We recognized equity (loss) earnings of $(11.4) million and $4.0 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The primary driver of the loss in 2023 is the impairment charge taken related to our investment in TN-BC Holdings LLC. Refer to Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 We recognized $7.6 million and $(6.1) million in 2023 and 2022, respectively, in Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net primarily includes remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates and other postretirement benefit costs.

 Net interest expense increased in 2023 compared with 2022 due to an increase in average daily debt outstanding, which was influenced by debt issuances. Refer to Note 14 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 We recognized an income tax provision of $196.3 million and $172.3 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the discrete income tax expense recorded in connection with the intercompany sales of intellectual property rights in the first and third quarters of 2023. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, was 31.2 percent and 20.2 percent for 2023 and 2022, respectively. See Note 10 – Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of our effective tax rate and statutory Federal income tax rate.

 Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, operating earnings, net earnings from continuing operations, and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations decreased during 2023. Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations benefited from common stock repurchases in both years.

 Net sales increased 16.5 percent during 2022 when compared with 2021. The components of the consolidated net sales change were as follows:

 Sales in each segment benefited from steady demand, new product performance, and pricing implemented throughout the year, partially offset by unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Refer to the Propulsion, Engine P&A, Navico Group and Boat segments for further details on the drivers of net sales changes.

 Gross margin percentage increased 10 basis points in 2022 when compared with 2021 driven by increased sales (620 bps) and acquisitions (60 bps), partially offset by higher manufacturing costs including material and labor inflation and inefficiencies caused by supply chain disruptions (670 bps).

 The 60 basis points decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue in 2022 compared to 2021 reflects the impact of less variable compensation expense (130 bps) partially offset by increased spending on sales and marketing (40 bps) and increased purchase accounting intangible asset amortization (30 bps).

 During 2022, we recorded restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $25.1 million compared with $0.8 million in 2021. The future cost savings related to restructuring actions executed in 2022 are not expected to be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

 We recognized equity earnings of $4.0 million and $2.3 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were mainly related to our marine and technology-related joint ventures.

 We recognized $(6.1) million and $(6.8) million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, in Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net primarily includes remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates and other postretirement benefit costs.

 Net interest expense increased in 2022 compared with 2021 due to an increase in average daily debt outstanding, which was influenced by debt issuances. Refer to Note 14 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 We recognized an income tax provision of $172.3 million and $141.0 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased earnings before income taxes. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, was 20.2 percent and 19.1 percent for 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 10 – Income Taxes in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of our effective tax rate and statutory Federal income tax rate.

 Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, operating earnings, net earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations increased during 2022. Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations benefited from common stock repurchases in both years.

 Segments

 We have four reportable segments: Propulsion, Engine P&A, Navico Group, and Boat. Refer to Note 5 – Segment Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details on the segment operations.

 International sales were 37 percent of the Navico Group segment's net sales in 2023. International sales decreased 9 percent year-over-year on a GAAP basis and 10 percent on a constant currency basis.

 Navico Group segment's operating earnings for the year were $5.2 million, a decrease of 92.4 percent versus the prior year due to lower sales, restructuring charges associated with actions executed in the year and slightly elevated input costs, partially offset by benefits from new product introductions and cost reduction initiatives.

 Navico Group segment's net sales increased $381.0 million or 55.4 percent in 2022 versus the prior year due to the factors affecting all of our segments previously mentioned, in addition to having a full year of the Navico acquisition included in the segment's net sales for 2022.

 Corporate operating expenses increased by $13.9 million in 2023 compared with 2022 due to spending on enterprise growth initiatives, the IT security incident and unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments for deferred compensation arrangements.

 Corporate operating expenses increased by $9.2 million in 2022 compared with 2021 due to the impairment of capitalized software intangible assets as well as an increase in investments in enterprise growth initiatives. This was partially offset by a decrease in variable compensation expense and favorable mark-to-market adjustments for deferred compensation arrangements.

 (A) We define "Free cash flow" as cash flow from operating and investing activities of continuing operations (excluding cash provided by or used for acquisitions, investments, purchases or sales/maturities of marketable securities and other investing activities, net of tax) and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. Free cash flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States. We use this financial measure both in presenting results to shareholders and the investment community and in our internal evaluation and management of our businesses. We believe that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view our performance using the same tool that we use to gauge progress in achieving our goals. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measure "Free cash flow" is also useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives.

 Our major sources of funds for capital investments, acquisitions, share repurchase programs and dividend payments are cash generated from operating activities, available cash and marketable securities balances, divestitures and borrowings. We evaluate potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.

 2023 Cash Flow

 Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in 2023 totaled $745.2 million versus $580.4 million in 2022. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in working capital usage, partially offset by lower net earnings. 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding the impact of acquisitions and non-cash adjustments.

 The primary drivers of Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in 2023 were net earnings, net of non-cash items, partially offset by working capital usage. Accounts and notes receivable decreased $54.5 million primarily due to lower sales and timing of collections. Accounts payable decreased $86.1 million, primarily due to lower purchasing resulting from reduced production. Accrued expenses decreased $22.8 million, primarily driven by a reduction in our derivative liability position.

 Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations was $378.9 million, which included $289.3 million of capital expenditures and $103.6 million of cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, partially offset by $14.8 million of sales of property, plant and equipment. Our capital spending was focused on investments in capacity expansion, new products and technology, although at lower levels than the prior year.

 Net cash used for financing activities was $487.0 million and primarily related to common stock repurchases, cash dividends paid to common shareholders and payments of long-term debt including current maturities. Refer to Note 14 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our debt activity during the year ended December 31, 2023.

 2022 Cash Flow

 Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in 2022 totaled $580.4 million versus $586.2 million in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to increased working capital, partially offset by higher net earnings.

 The primary drivers of Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in 2022 were net earnings, net of non-cash items, partially offset by increases in working capital. Accounts and notes receivable increased $74.6 million primarily due to increased sales. Inventory increased $292.8 million, primarily to support higher production volumes.

 Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations was $443.2 million, which included $388.3 million of capital expenditures, $93.8 million of cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, and $60.1 million of purchases of marketable securities, partially offset by $56.4 million of sales or maturities of marketable securities and $42.5 million of cross-currency swap settlements. Our capital spending was focused on investments in capacity expansion, new products and technology.

 Net cash provided by financing activities was $110.8 million and primarily related to proceeds of issuances of long-term debt, partially offset by common stock repurchases, payments of long-term debt including current maturities, and cash dividends paid to common shareholders. Refer to Note 14 – Debt in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on our debt activity during the year ended December 31, 2022.

 (B) We define Total liquidity as Cash and cash equivalents and Short-term investments in marketable securities as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, plus amounts available for borrowing under our 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. We use this financial measure both in presenting our results to shareholders and the investment community and in our internal evaluation and management of our businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view our performance using the same metric that we use to gauge progress in achieving our goals. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measure "Total liquidity" is also useful to investors because it is an indication of our available highly liquid assets and immediate sources of financing.

 Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $468.6 million as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of $131.5 million from $600.1 million as of December 31, 2022. Total debt as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $2,430.4 million and $2,509.0 million, respectively. Our debt-to-capitalization ratio decreased to 54 percent as of December 31, 2023 from 55 percent as of December 31, 2022.

 There were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement (Credit Facility) during 2023. Available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2023 totaled $741.9 million, net of $8.1 million of letters of credit outstanding. During 2023, the maximum amount utilized under our unsecured commercial paper program (CP Program) was $125.0 million.

 We borrowed $125.0 million under the Credit Facility during 2022, all of which was repaid prior to year-end and thus we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022. Available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022 totaled $747.2 million, net of $2.8 million of letters of credit outstanding. During 2022, the maximum amount utilized under our CP Program was $300.0 million.

 The level of borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility and CP Program is limited by both a leverage and interest coverage test. These covenants also pertain to termination provisions included in our wholesale financing joint-venture arrangements with Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance. Based on our anticipated earnings generation throughout the year, we expect to maintain sufficient cushion against the existing debt covenants. As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility and CP Program.

 We believe that we have adequate sources of liquidity to meet our short-term and long-term needs.

 2024 Capital Strategy

 We anticipate executing a balanced capital strategy in 2024, leveraging our strong cash position and liquidity. We anticipate being active with share repurchases with spend in excess of $200 million in 2024.

 Although we plan to continue funding many projects and investments in products and technology for future growth, we are in harvest phase as it relates to many of our larger capital projects from recent years and plan to scale back spending slightly without anticipated sacrifice to any future growth plans, leading to anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $225 million in 2024.

 Critical Accounting Estimates

 The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. If current estimates for the cost of resolving any specific matters are later determined to be inadequate, results of operations could be adversely affected in the period in which additional provisions are required. We have discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies with the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors and believe the following are the most critical accounting policies that could have an effect on our reported results.

 Revenue Recognition and Sales Incentives. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied; this occurs when control of promised goods (engines, parts and accessories, and boats) is transferred to the customer. We exercise judgment and consider the timing of right to payment, transfer of risk and rewards, transfer of title, transfer of physical possession, and customer acceptance when determining when control transfers to the customer. We recognize revenue related to the sale of extended warranty contracts that extend the coverage period beyond the standard warranty period over the life of the extended warranty period.

 Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. We have excluded sales, value add, and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities from the determination of the transaction price for all contracts. We exercise judgment when determining the transaction price, including the estimate of discounts, which is partly based on estimates of customer sales volumes. These estimates are subject to uncertainty as historical discount experience and sales volumes may not be consistent with future activity. We have elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment activity. For all contracts with customers, we have not adjusted the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between the transfer of the promised goods and the customer's payment is expected to be one year or less.

 See Note 2 – Revenue Recognition in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

 Warranty Reserves. We record an estimated 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. We exercise judgment when determining the appropriate historical periods to project claim rates and expected costs per claim. Further, these estimates are subject to uncertainty as historical warranty experience may not be consistent with future warranty claims. We adjust our liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and the exposure can be estimated. Our warranty liabilities are affected by product failure rates as well as material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If actual costs differ from estimated costs, we must make a revision to the warranty liability, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

 Goodwill. Goodwill results from the excess of purchase price over the net assets of businesses acquired. We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. As part of the annual test, we may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether the fair values of our reporting units are "more likely than not" to exceed their carrying values. In performing this qualitative analysis, we consider various factors, including the effect of market or industry changes and the reporting units' actual results compared with projected results. We exercise judgment when evaluating the impact of market and industry changes and when comparing actual results to projected results.

 If the fair value of a reporting unit does not meet the "more likely than not" criteria discussed above, we perform a quantitative assessment which begins by measuring the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment is recorded equal to the carrying value of the reporting unit less its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill.

 We calculate the fair value of our reporting units considering both the income approach and the guideline public company method. The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing a Gordon Growth model. Internally forecasted future cash flows, which we believe reasonably approximates market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate) developed for each reporting unit. The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, as well as considering whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific reporting unit's forecasted performance. We exercise judgment when forecasting future cash flows including the performance of the underlying market in which the reporting unit operates as well as the impact of specific initiatives. We exercise judgment when determining the level of risk associated with achieving the forecasted future cash flows. These estimates are subject to uncertainty as actual results may differ from our forecast. If actual results differ from the forecast, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Fair value under the guideline public company method is determined for each reporting unit by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the unit's current and forecasted financial results. We exercise judgment when determining the comparable public companies and market multiples. The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in determining the reporting unit's forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and operating margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts in determining the Discount Rate, along with selecting representative market multiples.

 We did not record any goodwill impairments in 2023, 2022 or 2021.

 Other Intangible Assets. Our primary other intangible assets are customer relationships, trade names, and developed technology acquired in business combinations. Intangible assets are initially valued using a methodology commensurate with the intended use of the asset. Customer relationships, trade names, and developed technology are valued using the income approach. The fair value of customer relationships is measured using the multi-period excess earnings method (MPEEM). The fair value of trade names and developed technology are measured using a relief-from-royalty (RFR) approach, which assumes the value of the trade name or technology is the discounted amount of cash flows that would be paid to third parties had we not owned the trade name or technology and instead licensed the trade name or technology from another company. Higher royalty rates are assigned to premium brands within the marketplace based on name recognition and profitability, while other brands receive lower royalty rates. We exercise judgment when selecting the royalty rates and evaluating profitability. The basis for future sales projections for both the RFR and MPEEM are internal revenue forecasts which we believe represent reasonable market participant assumptions. We exercise judgment when forecasting revenue including the performance of the underlying market in which the intangible asset operates as well as the impact of specific initiatives. The future cash flows are discounted using an applicable Discount Rate as well as any potential risk premium to reflect the inherent risk of holding a standalone intangible asset. We exercise judgment when determining the level of risk associated with achieving the forecasted revenue. For MPEEM calculations, we exercise judgment in determining the customer attrition rate, which is generally based on historical experience. These estimates are subject to uncertainty as actual results may differ from our forecast. If actual results differ from the forecast including higher than anticipated customer attrition, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 The key uncertainties in the RFR and MPEEM calculations, as applicable, are: the selection of an appropriate royalty rate, assumptions used in developing internal revenue growth and expense forecasts, assumed customer attrition rates, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts in determining the Discount Rate and risk premium.

 The costs of amortizable intangible assets are recognized over their expected useful lives, typically between three and fifteen years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate long-lived assets described below. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company recorded impairment charges of $16.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 including a $13.0 million impairment of the Navico trade name. The Company recorded impairment charges of $17.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to capitalized software intangible assets that will not be placed into service. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2021.

 Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions and Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangibles in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

 Long-Lived Assets. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of our definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. We exercise judgment when evaluating whether events or circumstances have occurred either internally or externally that would warrant revisions to useful lives or indicate the balances of the assets may not be recoverable. Once an impairment indicator is identified, we test for recoverability of the related asset group using an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the asset group's remaining life. We exercise judgment when forecasting future cash flows including the performance of the underlying market in which the asset or asset group operates as well as the impact of specific initiatives. These estimates are subject to uncertainty as actual results may differ from our forecast. If actual results differ from the forecast, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If an asset group's carrying value is not recoverable, we record an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset group over the long-lived asset group's fair value. Fair value is determined using observable inputs, including the use of appraisals from independent third parties, when available, and, when observable inputs are not available, based on our assumption of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, we use discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs are unavailable. We tested our long-lived asset balances for impairment as indicators arose during 2023, 2022 and 2021, resulting in impairment charges of $1.3 million, $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which are recognized either in Restructuring, exit and impairment charges or Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. We evaluate the realizability of net deferred tax assets and, as necessary, record valuation allowances against them. We exercise judgment when evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets by evaluating the potential to recover the value of these assets through the utilization of tax loss and credit carrybacks, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and carryforwards, certain tax planning strategies, and future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. These estimates are subject to uncertainty as actual results may differ from our forecast. If actual results differ from the forecast, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected. We estimate our tax obligations based on historical experience and current tax laws and litigation. The judgments made at any point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits and settlements of tax litigation, as well as changes due to new tax laws and regulations and our application of those laws and regulations. These factors may cause our tax rate and deferred tax balances to increase or decrease. We exercise judgment when evaluating whether it is more likely than not a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities. This evaluation is subject to uncertainty as it involves the interpretation of tax laws and regulations and our interpretation could differ from that of the taxing authorities. If a position is not sustained upon examination, the impact could be material to our results of operations and cash flows. See Note 10 – Income Taxes in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 See Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the recent accounting pronouncements that have been adopted during the year ended December 31, 2023, or will be adopted in future periods.

 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. We enter into various hedging transactions to mitigate certain risks in accordance with guidelines established by our management. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

 We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage foreign exchange rate exposure related to anticipated transactions, and assets and liabilities that are subject to risk from foreign currency rate changes. Our principal currency exposures mainly relate to the Euro, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, and the Brazilian Real. We hedge certain anticipated transactions with financial instruments whose maturity date, along with the realized gain or loss, occurs on or near the execution of the anticipated transaction. We manage foreign currency exposure of certain assets or liabilities through the use of derivative financial instruments such that the gain or loss on the derivative financial instrument offsets the loss or gain recognized on the underlying asset or liability, respectively.

 We use fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of our 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 as a change in the fair value of the corresponding debt instrument.

 The following analyses provide quantitative information regarding our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk as it relates to our derivative financial instruments. We use a model to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value of financial instruments with exposure to market risk that assumes instantaneous, parallel shifts in exchange rates. For options and instruments with nonlinear returns, models appropriate to the instrument are utilized to determine the impact of market shifts. There are certain shortcomings inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented, primarily due to the assumption that exchange rates change in a parallel fashion.

 The estimated reduction in fair market value that we would incur on our derivative financial instruments from a 10 percent adverse change in quoted foreign currency rates are $91.7 million and $71.6 million for the years 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework).

 Brunswick Corporation
 Mettawa, Illinois

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Brunswick Corporation
 Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Brunswick Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
 We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, of the Company and our report dated February 16, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
 Basis for Opinion
 The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Brunswick Corporation

 Opinion on the Financial Statements
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brunswick Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 16, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
 Basis for Opinion
 These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 Critical Audit Matter
 The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit and finance committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
 Navico Reporting Unit Goodwill and Trade Name Intangible Asset Impairment – Refer to Notes 1 and 9 to the financial statements
 Critical Audit Matter Description
 The Company's evaluation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets is performed at least annually by comparing the fair value of each respective reporting unit and asset group to its carrying value. The Company estimated the fair value of goodwill using the discounted cash flow and guideline public company approaches and estimated the fair value of the trade name intangible assets using the relief from royalty method. The fair value determination required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to business and valuation assumptions including revenue growth rates, profitability margins, discount rates, and royalty rates. Changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value, the amount of any

 impairment charge, or both. The goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset balances recorded as of December 31, 2023 were $1,030.7 million and $311.5 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $599.7 million and $120.0 million relate to the Navico Group reporting unit and Navico trade name intangible asset, respectively. Impairment charges for the Navico trade name intangible asset for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $13.0 million.
 We identified management's estimate of the fair value of the Navico Group reporting unit goodwill and trade name intangible assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to estimate the respective fair values. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's projected future cash flows and the selection of valuation assumptions.
 How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
 Our audit procedures related to the projected future cash flows and selection of valuation assumptions for the goodwill and trade name intangible asset included the following, among others:
 • We tested the effectiveness of controls over management's determination of the fair values of the goodwill and trade name intangible asset, including those over the projected future cash flows and selection of revenue growth, profitability margin, discount rate, and royalty rate assumptions.
 • We evaluated management's ability to accurately forecast future revenues and profitability margins by comparing actual results to management's historical forecasts.
 • We assessed the reasonableness of management's projected future cash flows by comparing the projections to historical results, internal communications to management and certain industry and market trends.
 • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation assumptions including the discount rate and royalty rates, and developed a range of independent estimates and compared those to the valuation assumptions selected by management.
 • We tested the source information underlying the determination of the valuation assumptions as well as the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.

 The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these consolidated statements.

 Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

 Basis of Presentation. Effective January 1, 2023, Brunswick Corporation (we, us, our, the Company, or Brunswick) changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Engine Parts and Accessories (Engine P&A), Navico Group and Boat to align with our internal operating structure. As a result of this change, the Company has recast all segment information for all prior periods presented. For further information, refer to Note 5 –Segment Information. The Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation. Brunswick's results reflect continuing operations only, unless otherwise noted.

 Principles of Consolidation. Brunswick's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. These estimates affect:

 • The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods;
 • The reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements; and
 • The disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

 Estimates in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:

 • Allowances for doubtful accounts;
 • Inventory valuation reserves;
 • Variable consideration related to recorded revenue;
 • Reserves related to repurchase and recourse obligations;
 • Warranty related reserves;
 • Losses on litigation and other contingencies;
 • Environmental reserves;
 • Insurance reserves;
 • Valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets;
 • Impairments of long-lived assets;
 • Reserves related to restructuring, exit and impairment activities;
 • Postretirement benefit liabilities;
 • Valuation allowances on deferred tax assets; and
 • Income tax reserves.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. These investments include, but are not limited to, investments in money market funds, bank deposits, federal government and agency debt securities and commercial paper.

 Restricted Cash. Restricted Cash is primarily related to cash deposited in a trust that is pledged as collateral against certain workers' compensation-related obligations. Refer to Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies for more information.

 Investments in Marketable Securities. The Company classifies investments in debt securities that are not considered to be cash equivalents as Short-term investments in marketable securities as discussed in Note 7 – Investments. Short-term investments in marketable securities have a stated maturity of twelve months or less from the balance sheet date. These securities are considered as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on these debt securities are recorded net of tax as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Unrealized investment gains (losses) within Shareholders' equity. Declines in market value from the original cost deemed to be "other-than-temporary" are charged to Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period in which the loss occurs. The Company considers both the duration and extent of which a decline in value has occurred in its determination of whether a decline in value has been "other-than-temporary." Realized gains and losses are calculated based on the specific identification method and are included in Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 Accounts and Notes Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company carries its accounts and notes receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a regular basis, the Company records an allowance for uncollectible receivables based upon known bad debt risks and past loss history, customer payment practices and economic conditions. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of net receivables. A change to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required if a future event or other change in circumstances results in a change in the estimate of the ultimate collectability of a specific account.

 Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with net realizable value equal to the estimated selling price less the estimated costs to transact. Approximately 51 percent and 54 percent of the Company's inventories were determined by the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Remaining inventories valued at the last-in, first-out method (LIFO) were $ 192.1 million and $ 170.6 million lower than the FIFO cost of inventories as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Inventory cost includes material, labor and manufacturing overhead. There were no liquidations of LIFO inventory layers in 2023, 2022 or 2021.

 Property. Property, including major improvements and product tooling costs, is recorded at cost. Product tooling costs principally comprise the cost to acquire and construct various long-lived molds, dies and other tooling the Company uses in its manufacturing processes. Design and prototype development costs associated with product tooling are expensed as incurred. Maintenance and repair costs are also expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded over the estimated service lives of the related assets, principally using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over a useful life of five to forty years. Equipment is depreciated over a useful life of two to twenty years. Product tooling costs are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the tooling or the anticipated life of the applicable product, for a period up to eight years. The Company capitalizes interest on qualifying assets during the construction period and capitalized $ 2.7 million and $ 6.9 million in the periods ending December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company presents capital expenditures on a cash basis within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. There were $ 34.1 million and $ 56.2 million of unpaid capital expenditures within Accounts payable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company includes gains and losses recognized on the sale and disposal of property in either Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses or Restructuring, exit and impairment charges as appropriate. The amount of gains and losses for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

 Goodwill. Goodwill results from the excess of purchase price over the net assets of businesses acquired. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. As part of the annual test, the Company may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether the fair values of its reporting units are "more likely than not" to exceed their carrying values. In performing this qualitative analysis, the Company considers various factors, including the effect of market or industry changes and the reporting units' actual results compared to projected results.

 If the fair value of a reporting unit does not meet the "more likely than not" criteria discussed above, the Company performs a quantitative assessment, which begins by measuring the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment is recorded equal to the carrying value of the reporting unit less its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill.

 The Company calculates the fair value of its reporting units considering both the income approach and the guideline public company method. The income approach calculates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow approach utilizing a Gordon Growth model. Internally forecasted future cash flows, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital (Discount Rate) developed for each reporting unit. The Discount Rate is developed using market observable inputs, as well as considering whether or not there is a measure of risk related to the specific reporting unit's forecasted performance. Fair value under the guideline public company method is determined for each reporting unit by applying market multiples for comparable public companies to the reporting unit's current and forecasted financial results. The key uncertainties in these calculations are the assumptions used in determining the reporting unit's forecasted future performance, including revenue growth and operating margins, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts in determining the Discount Rate, along with selecting representative market multiples.

 The Company did not record any goodwill impairments in 2023, 2022 or 2021.

 Other intangible assets. The Company's primary other intangible assets are customer relationships, trade names, and developed technology acquired in business combinations. Intangible assets are initially valued using a methodology commensurate with the intended use of the asset. Customer relationships, trade names and developed technology are valued using the income approach. The fair value of customer relationships is measured using the multi-period excess earnings method (MPEEM). The fair value of trade names and developed technology are measured using a relief-from-royalty (RFR) approach, which assumes the value of the trade name or technology is the discounted amount of cash flows that would be paid to third parties had the Company not owned the trade name or technology and instead licensed the trade name or technology from another company. Higher royalty rates are assigned to premium brands within the marketplace based on name recognition and profitability, while other brands receive lower royalty rates. The basis for future sales projections for both the RFR and MPEEM are internal revenue forecasts which the Company believes represent reasonable market participant assumptions. The future cash flows are discounted using an applicable Discount Rate as well as any potential risk premium to reflect the inherent risk of holding a standalone intangible asset.

 The key uncertainties in the RFR and MPEEM calculations, as applicable, are: the selection of an appropriate royalty rate, assumptions used in developing internal revenue growth and expense forecasts, assumed customer attrition rates, as well as the perceived risk associated with those forecasts in determining the Discount Rate and risk premium.

 The costs of amortizable intangible assets are recognized over their expected useful lives, typically between three and fifteen years, using the straight-line method. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate long-lived assets described below. Intangible assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that an asset may be impaired. The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company recorded $ 16.6 million of intangible asset impairment charges in 2023 recognized in Restructuring, exit and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, including a $ 13.0 million impairment of the Navico trade name and a $ 3.0 million impairment associated with the Garelick trade name. The Company recorded $ 17.4 million of intangible asset impairment charges in 2022 recognized in Restructuring, exit and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to capitalized software intangible assets that will not be placed into service. The Company did not record any intangible asset impairments in 2021.

 Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions and Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangibles in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

 Software Development Costs for Internal Use. The Company expenses all software development and implementation costs incurred until the Company has determined that the software will result in probable future economic benefit and management has committed to funding the project. Once this is determined, external direct costs of material and services, payroll-related costs of employees working on the project and related interest costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized. These capitalized costs are amortized over three to seven years. All other related costs, including training costs and costs to re-engineer business processes, are expensed as incurred.

 Equity Investments. For investments in which the Company owns or controls from 20 percent to 50 percent of the voting shares, the Company uses the equity method of accounting. The Company's share of net earnings or losses from equity method investments is included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company carries other investments, for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence, at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, the Company measures the investment at cost less impairment, plus or minus observable equity price changes. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its investments. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 19.2 million due to a decline in the fair value of its investment in TN-BC Holdings LLC (the Joint Venture), as a result of a reduction in value of certain of the Joint Venture's underlying investments. See Note 7 – Investments for further details about the Company's evaluation of the fair value of its investments.

 Long-Lived Assets. The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of its definite-lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. Once an impairment indicator is identified, the Company tests for recoverability of the related asset group using an estimate of undiscounted cash flows over the asset group's remaining life. If an asset group's carrying value is not recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset group over the long-lived asset group's fair value. Fair value is determined using observable inputs, including the use of appraisals from independent third parties, when available, and, when observable inputs are not available, based on the Company's assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available in the circumstances. Specifically, the Company uses discounted cash flows to determine the fair value of the asset when observable inputs are unavailable. The Company tested its long-lived asset balances for impairment as indicators arose during 2023, 2022 and 2021, resulting in impairment charges of $ 1.3 million, $ 1.5 million and $ 0.8 million, respectively, which are recognized either in Restructuring, exit and impairment charges or Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 Other Long-Term Assets. Other long-term assets consists mainly of capitalized financing costs and deposits.

 Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied; this occurs when control of promised goods is transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue related to the sale of extended warranty contracts that extend the coverage period beyond the standard warranty period over the life of the extended warranty period.

 Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The Company has excluded sales, value add and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities from the determination of the transaction price for all contracts. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment activity. For all contracts with customers, the Company has not adjusted the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the period between the transfer of the promised goods and the customer's payment is expected to be one year or less.

 For product sales, the Company transfers control and recognizes revenue at the time the product ships from a manufacturing or distribution facility ("free on board shipping point"), or at the time the product arrives at the customer's facility ("free on board destination"). When the shipping terms are "free on board shipping point", the customer obtains control and is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the benefits from, the products at the time the products are shipped. For shipments provided under "free on board destination", control transfers to the customer upon delivery. Payment terms vary but are generally due within 30 days of transferring control. For the Company's Boat and Propulsion segments, most product sales to dealers are wholesale financed through the Company's joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC), or other lending institutions, and payment is typically due in the month of shipment. For further information on the BAC joint venture, refer to Note 8 – Financing Joint Venture. In addition, periodically the Company may require the customer to provide upfront cash deposits in advance of performance.

 The Company also sells separately priced, extended warranty contracts that extend the coverage period beyond the standard warranty period. When determining an appropriate allocation of the transaction price to the extended warranty performance obligation, the Company uses an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price. Extended warranties typically range from an additional 1 to 3 years. The Company receives payment at the inception of the contract and recognizes revenue over the extended warranty coverage period. This time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the Company, on average, satisfies its performance obligation evenly over the warranty period.

 See Note 2 – Revenue Recognition for more information.

 Advertising Costs. The Company records advertising and promotion costs in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period when the advertising first takes place. Advertising and promotion costs were $ 28.5 million, $ 39.9 million and $ 33.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 Foreign Currency. The functional currency for the majority of Brunswick's operations is the U.S. dollar. All assets and liabilities of operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at period-end currency exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Revenues and expenses of operations with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Transaction gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates are recorded in either Cost of sales or Other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 Share-Based Compensation. The Company records amounts for all share-based compensation, including non-vested stock awards and performance-based share awards, over the vesting period in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based upon their fair values at the date of the grant. Share-based compensation costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 16 – Stock Plans and Management Compensation for a description of the Company's accounting for share-based compensation plans.

 Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 Derivatives. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risk associated with movements in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. These instruments are used in accordance with guidelines established by the Company's management and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. See Note 12 – Financial Instruments for further discussion.

 IT Security Incident. As previously announced on June 13, 2023, the Company experienced an IT security incident that impacted some of its systems and global facilities. The Company activated its response protocols, including pausing operations in some locations, engaging leading security experts and coordinating with relevant law enforcement agencies. Normal global business operations resumed over the course of nine days following the incident. While we were able to quickly restore our operations, the incident resulted in disruption to sales as well as non-recurring costs. We will attempt to recover a portion of the lost operating earnings from lost sales and non-recurring costs from our insurance carriers. Non-recurring costs include labor while plants were idle, IT-related costs and costs for legal, consulting and other professional services directly related to this incident. The Company incurred non-recurring costs related to the IT security incident of $ 10.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. A portion of the non-recurring costs are included in Cost of sales and a portion in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We estimate the incident resulted in lost revenue of approximately $ 80 million to $ 85 million and operating earnings of $ 35 million to $ 40 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

 Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 Supplier Finance Programs: In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2022-04, Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, which adds disclosure requirements associated with participation in supplier finance programs. ASU 2022-04 requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about the program including key terms and obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period. ASU 2022-04 is effective for financial statements for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2022-04 on January 1, 2023. For further information, refer to Note 20 – Supplier Finance Program Obligations.

 Fair Value Hedge Accounting: In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Fair Value Hedging — Portfolio Layer Method, which clarifies the guidance in ASC 815 on fair value hedge accounting of interest-rate risk for portfolios of financial assets. The ASU amends the guidance that established the "last-of-layer" method for making the fair value hedge accounting for these portfolios more accessible. The amendment was effective for financial statements for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 Revenue Contracts Acquired in Business Combinations: In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities From Contracts With Customers, which amended the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 to require that the acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606. The Company early adopted the guidance in ASU 2021-08 on July 2, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 Segment Reporting: In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) — Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which adds new disclosure requirements related to significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included in each reported measure of segment profit or loss, other segment items that constitute the difference between segment revenues less significant segment expenses and the measure of profit or loss, disclosure of the CODMs title and position as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures and expanded interim disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

 Income Taxes: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Under this ASU, entities must disclose, on an annual basis, specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information about income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for financial statements for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

 As of January 1, 2023, $ 178.5 million of contract liabilities associated with extended warranties and customer deposits were reported in Accrued expenses and Other Long-term liabilities, of which $ 61.8 million of this amount was recognized as revenue during year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, total contract liabilities were $ 187.1 million. The total amount of the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 31, 2023 is $ 183.6 million for contracts greater than one year, which includes extended warranties. The Company expects to recognize approximately $ 60.7 million of this amount in 2024 and $ 122.9 million thereafter. Contract assets as of January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023 were not material. In addition, costs to obtain and fulfill contracts during the period were not material.

 Note 3 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities

 The Company has announced and implemented a number of initiatives designed to improve its cost structure, general operating efficiencies and its utilization of production capacity. These initiatives resulted in the recognition of restructuring, exit and impairment charges in the Consolidated Statements of Operations during 2023, 2022 and 2021. Restructuring, exit and impairment costs include employee termination and other benefits, inventory adjustments to lower of cost or net realizable value, costs to retain and relocate employees, consulting costs, consolidation of manufacturing footprint, facility shutdown costs, and asset disposition and impairment actions. The Company recognizes the expense in the accounting period when it has committed to or incurred the cost, as appropriate.

 The following table is a summary of the net expense associated with the restructuring, exit and impairment activities. Restructuring, exit and impairment charges in 2023 relate to headcount reductions and related costs associated with streamlining the enterprise-wide cost structure and improving operating efficiencies as well as asset-related impairments. Restructuring, exit and impairment charges in 2022 primarily relate to asset-related impairments and headcount reductions associated with the integration of Navico. Restructuring, exit and impairment charges in 2021 primarily relate to organizational realignment within the Navico Group segment, specifically in Europe.

 Note 4 – Acquisitions

 2023 Acquisitions

 During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company acquired additional Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territories in the Southeast United States. These acquisitions should unlock operational efficiencies while providing members with additional boating destinations, as the Company plans for continued expansion across the Southeast Coastal region. These acquisitions are included as part of the Company's Boat segment.

 The Company paid net cash consideration of $ 16.0 million for these acquisitions. The opening balance sheets, which are preliminary and subject to change in the measurement period as the Company finalizes the purchase price allocation and fair value estimates, include $ 14.0 million of goodwill and $ 3.3 million of customer relationships. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions were not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations.

 On September 1, 2023, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fliteboard Pty Ltd (Fliteboard) for $ 87.6 million net cash consideration. Fliteboard is a leader in eFoiling technology, which combines advanced hydrofoils and electric propulsion on the water. The acquisition of Fliteboard allows the Company to enter the emerging electric-foiling surfboard market and presents the opportunity for technological, manufacturing, commercial and consumer synergies with our existing portfolio. Fliteboard is included as part of the Company's Propulsion segment.

 The opening balance sheet, which is preliminary and subject to change in the measurement period as the Company finalizes the purchase price allocation and fair value estimates, includes $ 38.5 million of goodwill, $ 20.7 million of trade names, $ 8.4 million of customer relationships, and $ 7.1 million of developed technology. The amounts assigned to customer relationships and developed technology will be amortized over the estimated useful lives of 15 years and 10 years, respectively. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition of $ 1.9 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense.

 These 2023 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 of operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of the acquisitions, and pro forma results for prior periods are not presented.

 2022 Acquisitions

 During the second quarter of 2022, the Company acquired certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights as well as certain marine assets in the Southeast United States. These acquisitions enable opportunities across a wide spectrum, building upon the growth Brunswick has cultivated throughout the Company's shared access portfolio and new digital platforms. These acquisitions are included as part of the Company's Boat segment.

 The Company paid net cash consideration of $ 93.9 million for these acquisitions. The opening balance sheets include $ 71.4 million of goodwill and $ 11.9 million of customer relationships. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions of $ 1.4 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense in 2022. The 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 of operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of the acquisitions, and pro forma results for prior periods are not presented. Purchase accounting is final for these acquisitions.

 2021 Acquisitions - Navico

 On October 4, 2021, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Marine Innovations Group AS, known as "Navico", for $1.094 billion net cash consideration. The Company used a combination of the 2024 and 2031 Notes, as described in Note 14 – Debt, and cash on hand to fund the acquisition.

 Navico was a privately held global company based in Egersund, Norway, and is a global leader in marine electronics and sensors, including multi-function displays, fish finders, autopilots, sonar, radar and cartography. The acquisition of Navico accelerates the Company's ACES (Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification and Shared access) strategy and strengthens the Company's ability to provide complete, innovative digital solutions to consumers and comprehensive, integrated system offerings to our original equipment manufacturer customers. Navico is managed as part of the Company's Navico Group segment.

 The Company used the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with Brunswick being the acquiring entity, and reflecting estimates and assumptions deemed appropriate by Company management. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense and totaled $ 1.0 million and $ 13.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The net sales and operating loss, respectively, of Navico included in Brunswick's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition through December 31, 2021 was $ 120.4 million and $ 7.4 million, which includes $ 9.0 million of expense related to inventory fair value adjustments and $ 5.8 million of intangible asset amortization.

 Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

 The pro forma information has been prepared as if the Navico acquisition and the related debt financing had occurred on January 1, 2021. These pro forma results are based on estimates and assumptions which the Company believes to be reasonable. They are not the results that would have been realized had the acquisition actually occurred on January 1, 2021 and are not necessarily indicative of Brunswick's consolidated net earnings in future periods. The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to the amortization of intangible assets and interest expense on the notes issued in the third quarter of 2021 as noted in Note 14 – Debt. Additionally, non-recurring pro forma adjustments include transaction costs of $ 13.8 million and expenses related to inventory fair value adjustments of $ 18.1 million, recognized as part of the application of purchase accounting.

 Other 2021 Acquisitions

 On September 1, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the net assets of RELiON Battery, LLC (RELiON). RELiON is a global provider of lithium batteries and related products to multiple industry sectors. The acquisition of RELiON complements the Company's existing portfolio of advanced battery and power management brands. On September 17, 2021, the Company acquired substantially all the net assets of SemahTronix, LLC, a global supplier of high-complexity electrical wiring harnesses for advanced products in the marine, mobile and defense industries. The acquisition of the SemahTronix assets enhances the Company's integrated systems offerings by providing the Company and the Company's global customers access to high-quality, large, complex electrical wire harnessing systems that further enable the Company's end-to-end systems solutions and capabilities. These acquisitions are included as part of the Navico Group segment. Purchase accounting is final for these acquisitions.

 On July 9, 2021, the Company acquired Fanautic Club, one of the largest European boat clubs with 23 locations in major coastal cities and tourist centers across Spain. The Company also acquired certain Freedom Boat Club franchise operations and territory rights in the United States during 2021. Acquiring such assets enables Brunswick to accelerate growth by increasing its investments in these markets. These acquisitions are included as part of the Boat segment. Purchase accounting is final for these acquisitions.

 The Company paid net cash consideration of $ 66.1 million for these acquisitions. The opening balance sheets included $ 36.8 million of goodwill and $ 24.1 million of identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships and trade names of $ 17.2 million and $ 6.9 million, respectively. The amount assigned to customer relationships will be amortized over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Transaction costs associated with these acquisitions of $ 1.8 million were expensed as incurred within Selling, general and administrative expense during 2021. The acquisitions are not material to our net sales, results of operations or total assets during any period presented. Accordingly, the Company's consolidated results of operations do not differ materially from historical performance as a result of the acquisitions, and pro forma results for prior periods are not presented.

Navico Group's brand portfolio includes the Ancor, Attwood, B&G, BEP, Blue Sea Systems, C-MAP, CZone, Lenco, Lowrance, Marinco, Mastervolt, MotorGuide, Progressive Industries, ProMariner, RELiON, Simrad and Whale brand names. These brands span multiple categories, including marine electronics, sensors, control systems, instruments, power systems and general accessories. The segment's manufacturing and distribution facilities are primarily located in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

 Boat. The Boat segment designs, manufactures, and markets the following boat brands and products: Sea Ray sport boats and cruisers; Bayliner sport cruisers, runabouts, and Heyday wake boats; Boston Whaler fiberglass offshore boats; Lund fiberglass fishing boats; Crestliner, Harris, Lowe, Lund and Princecraft aluminum fishing, utility, pontoon boats, and deck boats; Thunder Jet heavy-gauge aluminum boats; and Veer recreational and fishing boats designed specifically to support electric propulsion. The Boat segment also includes Brunswick boat brands based in Europe and Asia-Pacific, which include Quicksilver, Navan, Rayglass (including Protector and Legend) and Uttern. The Boat segment procures substantially all of its engines from Brunswick's Propulsion segment, and boats often include other parts and accessories supplied by the Engine P&A and Navico Group segments. The Boat segment's products are manufactured mainly in the United States, Europe, Mexico and Canada and sold through a global network of dealer and distributor locations, primarily in North America and Europe.

 The Boat segment also includes Business Acceleration which, through innovative service models, shared access solutions, including the Freedom Boat Club business acquired in 2019, dealer services and emerging technology, aims to provide exceptional experiences to attract a wide range of customers to the marine industry and shape the future of boating.

 The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating earnings. Segment operating earnings do not include the expenses of corporate administration, impairments or gains on the sale of equity investments, earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, other expenses and income of a non-operating nature, transaction financing charges, interest expense and income or provisions or benefits for income taxes.

 Corporate/Other results include items such as corporate staff and administrative costs, investments in technology solutions, business development and other growth-related expenses, including IT enhancements. Corporate/Other total assets consist of mainly cash, cash equivalents and investments in short-term marketable securities, restricted cash, income tax balances and investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

 Segment eliminations adjust for sales between the Company's reportable segments and primarily relate to the sale of engines and parts and accessories to various boat brands, which are consummated at established arm's length transfer prices as the intersegment pricing for these engines and parts and accessories are based upon and consistent with selling prices to third-party customers.

 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 for which 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.

 The following table summarizes the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

 Investments in Marketable Securities

 The Company may invest a portion of its cash reserves in marketable debt securities. These investments are reported in Short-term investments in marketable securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 The following is a summary of the fair values, which were equal to the amortized costs, of the Company's available-for-sale securities, all due in one year or less, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 Equity Investments

 The Company has certain unconsolidated international and domestic affiliates that are accounted for using the equity method. The equity method is applied in situations in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investees. Management reviews equity investments for impairment whenever indicators are present, suggesting that the carrying value of an investment is not recoverable. The following items are examples of impairment indicators: significant, sustained declines in an investee's revenue, earnings, and cash flow trends; adverse market conditions of the investee's industry or geographic area; the investee's inability to execute its operating plan; the investee's inability to continue operations measured by several items, including liquidity; and other factors. Once an impairment indicator is identified, management uses considerable judgment to determine if the decline in value is other-than-temporary. If the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, then the equity investment is written down to its estimated fair value. Such a write down could negatively impact reported results of operations.

 The Company has a 50 percent interest in TN-BC Holdings LLC (the Joint Venture), which is a joint venture accounted for as an equity method investment, between the Company and TechNexus Holdings LLC formed in 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $ 19.2 million due to a decline in the fair value of its investment in the Joint Venture, as a result of a reduction in value of certain of the Joint Venture's underlying investments. The impairment charge is included in Equity (loss) earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 The Company has a 50 percent interest in a Japanese manufacturing company, Tohatsu Marine Corporation (TMC), which is accounted for as an equity method investment. The Company purchases engines from TMC, which are sold mostly in international markets. The Company reported a net amount payable to TMC of $ 15.5 million and $ 43.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, within Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Purchases from TMC were $ 80.2 million, $ 137.7 million and $ 135.1 million in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

 Refer to Note 8 – Financing Joint Venture for more details on the Company's Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC joint venture.

 Note 8 – Financing Joint Venture

 The Company, through its Brunswick Financial Services Corporation (BFS) subsidiary, owns a 49 percent interest in a joint venture, Brunswick Acceptance Company, LLC (BAC). CDF Joint Ventures, LLC (CDFJV), a subsidiary of Wells Fargo and Company, owns the remaining 51 percent.

 In March of 2021, the parties entered into an amended and restated joint venture agreement (JV Agreement) to extend the term of their financial services through December 31, 2025, which included expanded financing to Freedom Boat Club franchisees. The JV Agreement contains a financial covenant that conforms to the maximum leverage ratio test in the Credit Facility described in Note 14 – Debt. The JV Agreement contains provisions allowing for the renewal of the agreement or the purchase of the other party's interest in the joint venture at the end of its term. Alternatively, either partner may terminate the agreement at the end of its term.

 BAC is funded in part through a $ 1.0 billion secured borrowing facility from Wells Fargo Commercial Distribution Finance, LLC (WFCDF), which is in place through the term of the joint venture, and with equity contributions from both partners. BAC also sells a portion of its receivables to a securitization facility, the Wells Fargo Dealer Floorplan Master Note Trust, which is arranged by Wells Fargo. The sales of these receivables meet the requirements of a "true sale" and are therefore not retained on the financial statements of BAC. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries guarantee the indebtedness of BAC. In addition, BAC is not responsible for any continuing servicing costs or obligations with respect to the securitized receivables.

 The Company considers BFS's investment in BAC as an investment in a variable interest entity of which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company accounts for BFS's investment in BAC under the equity method and records it as a component of Equity investments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records BFS's share of income or loss in BAC based on its ownership percentage in the joint venture in Equity (loss) earnings in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. BFS's equity investment is adjusted monthly to maintain a 49 percent interest in accordance with the capital provisions of the JV Agreement. The Company funds its investment in BAC through cash contributions and reinvested earnings. BFS's total investment in BAC as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $ 27.2 million and $ 20.3 million, respectively.

 The Company's maximum loss exposure relating to BAC is detailed as follows:

 (A) Repurchase and recourse obligations are off-balance sheet obligations provided by the Company for the Propulsion, Engine P&A, Navico Group and Boat segments, respectively, and are included within the Maximum Potential Obligations disclosed in Note 11 – Commitments and Contingencies. Repurchase and recourse obligations include a North American repurchase agreement with WFCDF and could be reduced by repurchase activity occurring under other similar agreements with WFCDF and affiliates. The Company's risk under these repurchase arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the products repurchased as part of the transaction. Amounts above exclude any potential recoveries from the value of the repurchased product.
 (B) Represents accrued amounts for potential losses related to recourse exposure and the Company's expected losses on obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of these products to alternative dealers.

 BFS recorded income related to the operations of BAC of $ 8.6 million, $ 4.5 million and $ 2.1 million in Equity (loss) earnings in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 Cash Flows

 BFS reported cash flows from operating activities of $ 8.2 million, $ 4.3 million and $ 2.1 million within Other, net on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 In 2023, BFS reported net cash flows from investing activities within Investments on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Such cash flows for 2023 were $( 6.4) million, consisting of $ 7.2 million of cash received and $( 13.6) million of cash contributions; in 2022 were $( 9.2) million, consisting of $ 2.8 million of cash received and $( 12.0) million of cash contributions; and in 2021 were $ 2.5 million, consisting of $ 6.5 million of cash received and $( 4.0) million of cash contributions.

 See Note 4 – Acquisitions for further details on the Company's acquisitions. Adjustments in both periods include the effect of foreign currency translation on goodwill denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2023 also include $ 4.8 million of purchase accounting adjustments from 2022 Freedom Boat Club acquisitions, a majority of which related to boat fleet fair market value adjustments.

 As discussed in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies, effective January 1, 2023, we changed our reportable segments. Concurrent with the change in reportable segments, the Navico Group operating segment is now also the reporting unit at which we evaluate goodwill for impairment. As a result of this change, we evaluated impairment indicators at the previous reporting units immediately prior to the change and at the Navico Group reporting unit immediately following the change and concluded there were no indicators of impairment.

 The Company performed its required fourth quarter goodwill impairment assessment and determined the fair value of its reporting units exceeded the carrying value, and therefore, no goodwill impairment was recorded. As part of the impairment assessment, we determined that our Navico Group reporting unit had an estimated fair value that was not significantly in excess of its carrying value. The Navico Group reporting unit has goodwill assigned to it of $ 599.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and its fair value exceeded its carrying value by approximately 10% in the current year impairment assessment. As the fair value is not significantly in excess of the carrying value, we performed sensitivity analyses on certain assumptions. Holding other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point increase in the discount rate results in the fair value of the reporting unit approximating its carrying value. Holding other assumptions constant, a 100 basis point decrease in the forecasted revenue compound annual growth rate would not result in an impairment. There was no accumulated impairment loss on Goodwill as of December 31, 2023 or 2022.

 The Company's intangible assets, included within Other intangibles, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, are summarized by intangible asset type below:

 (A) The weighted average remaining amortization period for Customer relationships, Developed technology and Other intangibles assets was 11.2 years, 12.7 years, and 4.0 years, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

 Other intangible assets primarily consist of software, patents and franchise agreements. Gross and related accumulated amortization amounts include adjustments related to the impact of foreign currency translation. See Note 4 – Acquisitions for further details on intangibles acquired during 2023 and 2022. Aggregate amortization expense for intangibles was $ 68.6 million, $ 63.3 million and $ 36.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for intangible assets is $ 69.3 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, and $ 69.1 million for the year ending December 31, 2028.

 The Company tests its intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or whenever a change in events and circumstances (triggering event) occurs that indicates the fair value of intangible assets may be below their carrying values. The Company recorded impairment charges of $ 16.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, including a $ 13.0 million impairment of its Navico trade name as a result of declines in forecasted revenues primarily driven by macroeconomic factors and a decline in market conditions and a $ 3.0 million impairment associated with the decision to no longer go to market under the Garelick trade name. The Company recorded $ 17.4 million of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to capitalized software intangible assets that will not be placed into service. The Company did not record any intangible asset impairments in 2021.

 As of December 31, 2023, the Company had a total valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets of $ 71.3 million. The remaining realizable value of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 was determined by evaluating the potential to recover the value of these assets through the utilization of tax loss and credit carrybacks, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences and carryforwards, certain tax planning strategies and future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. As of December 31, 2023, the Company retained valuation allowance reserves of $ 50.2 million against deferred tax assets in the U.S. primarily related to state tax credits that are subject to restrictive rules for future utilization, various state operating loss carryforwards, and non-amortizable intangibles and valuation allowances of $ 21.1 million for deferred tax assets related to foreign jurisdictions, primarily Luxembourg.

 As of December 31, 2023, the tax benefit of loss carryforwards totaling $ 60.3 million was available to reduce future tax liabilities. This deferred tax asset was comprised of $ 1.1 million for the tax benefit of federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, $ 24.0 million for the tax benefit of state NOL carryforwards and $ 35.2 million for the tax benefit of foreign NOL carryforwards. NOL carryforwards of $ 43.1 million expire at various intervals between the years 2024 and 2043, while $ 17.2 million have an unlimited life.

 As of December 31, 2023, tax credit carryforwards totaling $ 56.1 million were available to reduce future tax liabilities. This deferred tax asset was comprised of $ 6.6 million related to federal tax credits, $ 48.4 million of various state tax credits related to research and development, capital investment and job incentives and $ 1.1 million related to foreign tax credits. These tax credit carryforwards expire at various intervals between the years 2024 and 2042.

 No deferred income taxes have been provided as of December 31, 2023 or 2022 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 and are repatriated, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding and other taxes on such amounts. Remittances from foreign subsidiaries are generally not subject to U.S. income taxation. These remittances are either excluded from U.S. taxable income as earnings that have already been subjected to taxation or in the alternative are subject to a 100 percent foreign dividends received deduction. The Company continues to provide deferred taxes, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes, 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, although such amounts were immaterial as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. We have not provided for deferred taxes on the outside basis differences in our investments in our foreign subsidiaries. A determination of the unrecognized deferred taxes related to these outside basis differences is not practicable.

 As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the Company had $ 9.3 million, $ 7.8 million and $ 10.1 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. Substantially all of these amounts, if recognized, would impact the Company's tax provision and the effective tax rate.

 The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the amounts accrued for interest and penalties were not material.

 The following is a reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties for the 2023, 2022 and 2021 annual reporting periods:

 The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 could decrease by approximately $ 2.1 million in 2024 due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in applicable statutes of limitation. 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 significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2024, but the amount cannot be estimated at this time.

 The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its field examination and has issued its Revenue Agents Report through the 2014 tax year and all open issues have been resolved. The Company is currently open to tax examinations by the IRS for the 2020 through 2022 tax years. The Company is open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2017 taxable year. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2015.

 Many countries are implementing local legislation based upon the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's base erosion and profit shifting project, the Pillar Two framework, which imposes a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15%. The Company will continue to monitor the implementation of the Pillar Two rules in the jurisdictions in which it operates.

 The difference between the actual income tax provision and the tax provision computed by applying the statutory Federal income tax rate to Earnings before income taxes is attributable to the following:

 For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $ 17.8 million of income tax expense related to an increase in its valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and $ 53.1 million of income tax expense related to the intercompany sales of intellectual property (IP) rights. The valuation allowance increase is primarily due to certain federal tax credits, impairment of certain investments, and state credits and NOLs that may not be realized in future years. The sales of the IP rights were to better align the ownership of these rights with how our business operates.

 During 2021, the Company recorded a $ 21.0 million income tax benefit related to the release of a portion of the Company's valuation allowance. This was due to a reassessment of the realizability of certain federal tax credits, state tax credits and state NOLs. The conclusion to release the valuation allowance was based upon sustained positive operating performance of its U.S. operations and the availability of expected future taxable income, leading the Company to believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit of these U.S. deferred tax assets will be realized.

 Note 11 – 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 the total outstanding obligations. The Company has also extended guarantees to third parties that have purchased customer receivables from Brunswick 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. The single year and maximum potential cash obligations associated with these customer financing arrangements as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $ 66.6 million and $ 71.7 million, respectively.

 In most instances, upon repurchase of the receivable or note, the Company receives rights to the collateral securing the financing. The Company's risk under these arrangements is partially mitigated by the value of the collateral that secures the financing.

 The Company has accounts receivable sale arrangements with third parties which are included in the guarantee arrangements discussed above. The Company treats the sale of receivables in which the Company retains an interest as a secured obligation as the transfers of the receivables under these arrangements do not meet the requirements of a "true sale." Accordingly, the current portion of receivables underlying these arrangements of $ 4.3 million and $ 4.1 million was recorded in Accounts and notes receivable and Accrued expenses as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any long-term receivables related to these arrangements.

 The Company has also entered into arrangements with third party lenders in which it has agreed, in the event of a customer or franchisee default, to repurchase from the third party lender those Brunswick products repossessed from the customer or franchisee. These arrangements are typically subject to a maximum repurchase amount. The single year and maximum potential cash payments the Company could be required to make to repurchase collateral as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were $ 81.1 million and $ 69.9 million, respectively. Included within this repurchase amount are amounts related to BAC, as discussed in Note 8 – Financing Joint Venture.

 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 had $ 1.7 million and $ 0.8 million accrued for potential losses related to repurchase exposure as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company's repurchase accrual represents the expected losses that could result from obligations to repurchase products, after giving effect to proceeds anticipated to be received from the resale of those products to alternative dealers.

 The Company has recorded its estimated net liability associated with losses from these guarantee and repurchase obligations on its 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.

 Financial institutions have issued standby letters of credit and surety bonds conditionally guaranteeing obligations on behalf of the Company totaling $ 8.5 million and $ 18.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. A large portion of these standby letters of credit and surety bonds are related to the Company's self-insured workers' compensation program as required by its insurance companies and various state agencies. The Company has recorded reserves to cover the anticipated liabilities associated with these programs. Under certain circumstances, such as an event of default under the Company's revolving credit facility, or, in the case of surety bonds, a ratings downgrade, the Company could be required to post collateral to support the outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds. The Company was not required to post letters of credit as collateral against surety bonds as of December 31, 2023.

 The Company has a collateral trust arrangement with insurance carriers and a trustee bank. The trust is owned by the Company, but the assets are pledged as collateral against workers' compensation related obligations in lieu of other forms of collateral including letters of credit. In connection with this arrangement, the Company had $ 8.3 million and $ 8.0 million of cash in the trust as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which was classified as Restricted cash in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 Product Warranties

 The Company records a liability for product warranties at the time of the related product sale. 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 resulting from 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

 Extended Product Warranties

 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 revenue liability is recorded based on the aggregate sales price for contracts sold. The liability is reduced and revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period during which corresponding costs are expected to be incurred.

 The following activity related to deferred revenue for extended product warranty contracts was recorded in Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

 Legal

 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. In light of existing accruals, the Company's litigation claims, when finally resolved, are not expected, in the opinion of management, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 Environmental

 The Company is involved in certain legal and administrative proceedings under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 and other federal and state legislation governing the generation and disposal of certain hazardous wastes. These proceedings, which involve both on- and off-site waste disposal or other contamination, in many instances seek compensation or remedial action from the Company as a waste generator under Superfund legislation, which authorizes action regardless of fault, legality of original disposition or ownership of a disposal site. The Company has established accruals based on a range of cost estimates for all known claims.

 The environmental remediation and clean-up projects in which the Company is involved have an aggregate estimated range of exposure of approximately $ 14.4 million to $ 37.8 million as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had accruals for environmental liabilities of $ 14.7 million and $ 15.4 million, respectively, which were recorded within Accrued expenses and Other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded $ 0.7 million, $ 0.1 million and $ 0.4 million of environmental provisions for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 The Company accrues for environmental remediation-related activities for which commitments or clean-up plans have been developed and for which costs can be reasonably estimated. All accrued amounts are generally determined in consultation with third party experts on an undiscounted basis and do not consider recoveries from third parties until such recoveries are realized. In light of existing accruals, the Company's environmental claims, when finally resolved, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 Note 12 – Financial Instruments

 The Company operates globally with manufacturing and sales facilities around the world, and therefore, is subject to both financial and market risk. 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 and interest rates. 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 the 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 years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. 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.

 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 income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 31, 2023, the term of derivative instruments hedging forecasted transactions ranged up to 21 months.

 The following activity related to cash flow hedges was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31:

 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.

 Cross-Currency Swaps. The Company enters into cross-currency swaps to hedge Euro currency exposures of the net investment in certain foreign subsidiaries. The cross-currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges, with the amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments deferred within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized upon termination of the respective investment. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the company entered into $ 250.0 million of cross-currency swap contracts. During 2022, the company settled $ 450.0 million of cross-currency swap contracts resulting in a deferred gain of $ 42.5 million within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2023, the notional value of cross-currency swap contracts outstanding was $ 250.0 million. There were no cross-currency swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

 Commodity Price. The Company uses commodity swaps to hedge anticipated purchases of aluminum and copper. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the notional value of commodity swap contracts outstanding was $ 31.8 million and $ 24.1 million, respectively. The amount of gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in Cost of sales in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months it will reclassify $ 0.9 million of net losses (based on current prices) from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Cost of sales.

 Foreign Currency Derivatives. 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 as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 had notional contract values of $ 694.6 million and $ 684.8 million, respectively. There were no option contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2023 mature during 2024 and 2025 and mainly relate to the Euro, Australian dollar, Norwegian krone and Canadian dollar. As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimates that, during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $ 1.7 million of net gains (based on rates as of December 31, 2023) from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Cost of sales.

 Interest-Rate Derivatives. The Company previously entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with anticipated debt issuances. During 2022, the Company entered into and settled a series of treasury-lock swaps to hedge the interest-rate risk associated with debt issuances, resulting in a net deferred gain of $ 5.1 million. There were no forward-starting interest rate swaps or treasury-lock swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

 The Company had net deferred gains associated with forward-starting interest-rate swaps and the treasury-lock swaps discussed above of $ 3.3 million and $ 3.2 million, as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These instruments were designated as cash flow hedges with gains and losses included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2023, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $ 0.1 million of net gain resulting from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Interest expense.

 Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of the Company's short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts and notes receivable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities, and short-term debt was approximately $ 2,228.2 million and $ 2,225.0 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, and short-term debt was $ 2,458.7 million and $ 2,540.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for general corporate purposes.

 2024 and 2031 Notes

 In August 2021, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $ 450.0 million of 0.850% Senior Notes due 2024 (the 2024 Notes) and $ 550.0 million of 2.400% Senior Notes due 2031 (the 2031 Notes) in a public offering, which resulted in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $ 992.9 million. Net proceeds from the offering were used for the acquisition of Navico and for general corporate purposes.

 Tender Offers

 In August 2021, the Company commenced tender offers to purchase for cash the 7.375% debentures due 2023 (2023 Debentures) and 7.125% Notes due 2027 (2027 Notes). The tender offers expired on August 10, 2021. At the expiration date, $ 23.4 million of the $ 103.1 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2023 Debentures and $ 2.5 million of the $163.3 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2027 Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. This amount excludes outstanding securities tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the tender offer documents, which remain subject to the holders' performance of the delivery requirements under such procedures. The Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $ 4.2 million related to the tender offers.

 During 2023, the Company made the remaining principal repayments, totaling $ 79.7 million, of its 2023 Debentures. The debentures were repaid at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued interest in accordance with the provisions of the debentures.

 Term Loan

 During 2022, the Company made the remaining principal repayments, totaling $ 56.3 million, of its 2023 floating-rate term loan. The term loan was redeemed at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued interest in accordance with the redemption provisions of the term loan. The Company recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $ 0.1 million related to the term loan redemption. During 2021, the Company made principal repayments totaling $ 95.0 million.

 Senior Notes due 2049

 In March 2019, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $ 230.0 million of its 6.375% Senior Notes due April 2049 (6.375% Notes) in a public offering, which resulted in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $ 222.0 million. Net proceeds from the offering of the 6.375% Notes were used to prepay all of the $ 150.0 million, 3-year tranche loan due 2021 and for general corporate purposes.

 Credit Facility

 The Company maintains a Revolving Credit Agreement (Credit Facility). In March 2022, the Company amended its Credit Facility with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company as subsidiary borrowers and lenders as parties, and JPMorgan as administrative agent. This amends and restates the Credit Facility dated as of March 21, 2011, as amended and restated on July 16, 2021. The amended Credit Facility increased the revolving commitments to $ 750.0 million, with the capacity to add up to $ 100.0 million of additional revolving commitments, and amended the Credit Facility in certain respects, including, among other things:

 • Extending the maturity date to March 31, 2027, with up to two one-year extensions available.

 • Transitioning the reference rate for loans denominated in U.S. dollars from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) with a credit-spread adjustment of 10 basis points to be added to the reference rate for borrowings of U.S. dollar loans for each interest period.

 The Company currently pays a credit facility fee of 15 basis points per annum. The facility fee per annum will be within a range of 12.5 to 30 basis points based on the Company's credit rating. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company has two borrowing options: borrowing at a rate tied to adjusted SOFR rate plus 10 basis points plus a spread of 110 basis points or a base rate plus a margin of 10 basis points. The rates are determined by the Company's credit ratings, with spreads ranging from 100 to 170 basis points for SOFR rate borrowings and 0 to 70 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 net 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 net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, is not permitted to be more than 3.50 to 1.00 but allows for a 12-month increase to 4.00 to 1.00 following the consummation of a Qualified Acquisition (as such term is defined in the Amended Credit Facility). As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility.

 During 2023, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility, and available borrowing capacity as of December 31, 2023 totaled $ 741.9 million, net of $ 8.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility.

 During 2022, gross borrowings under the Credit Facility totaled $ 125.0 million. As of December 31, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding, and available borrowing capacity totaled $ 747.2 million, net of $ 2.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The maximum amount utilized during 2022, including letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility, was $ 127.8 million.

 Commercial Paper

 In December 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured commercial paper program (CP Program) pursuant to which the Company may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes (CP Notes). During 2022, the Company increased the size of its CP Program to allow the issuance of CP Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $ 500.0 million. The CP Program previously allowed the Company to issue CP Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $ 300.0 million outstanding at any time. Amounts available under the CP Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time with the aggregate principal amount of CP Notes outstanding under the CP Program at any time not exceeding the lower of $ 500.0 million or the available borrowing amount under the Credit Facility. The net proceeds of the issuances of the CP Notes are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. The maturities of the CP Notes will vary but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. The CP Notes will be sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and will be issued at a discount to par or alternatively, will be issued at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. During 2023, borrowings under the CP Program totaled $ 485.0 million, all of which were repaid during the period. During 2023, the maximum amount utilized under the CP Program was $ 125.0 million. During 2022, borrowings under the CP Program totaled $ 500.0 million, all of which were repaid during the period. During 2022, the maximum amount utilized under the CP Program was $ 300.0 million.

 Note 15 – Postretirement Benefits

 Defined Contribution Plan and Other Pension/Postretirement Benefit Plans. The Company has defined contribution plans and makes contributions including matching and annual discretionary contributions which are based on various percentages of compensation and in some instances, are based on the amount of the employees' contributions to the plans. The expense related to the defined contribution plans was $ 47.0 million in 2023, $ 58.0 million in 2022 and $ 47.1 million in 2021.

 The Company also maintains a nonqualified pension plan and an other postretirement benefit plan. The funded status of the nonqualified pension plan includes projected and accumulated benefit obligations of $ 17.0 million and $ 18.6 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The other postretirement plan is frozen. The funded status of the other postretirement benefit plan includes projected and accumulated benefit obligations of $ 19.9 million and $ 21.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 The Company's foreign pension and other postretirement plans are not significant, individually or in the aggregate. The projected benefit obligation, net of plan assets for the Company's foreign pension plans, was $ 15.1 million and $ 11.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 Activity impacting the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows related to these plans was immaterial in 2023, 2022, and 2021.

 Note 16 – Stock Plans and Management Compensation

 On May 3, 2023, the Company's shareholders approved the Brunswick Corporation 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (Plan), which replaced the Company's 2014 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock units, performance awards, and other share-based or cash-based awards to executives, other employees, non-employee directors and persons expected to become officers, other employees and non-employee directors with shares from treasury shares and from authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock initially available for grant, in addition to: (i) the forfeiture of past awards; (ii) shares not issued upon the net settlement of SARs; or (iii) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes related to awards. As of December 31, 2023, 3.6 million shares remained available for grant.

 Share grant amounts, fair values and fair value assumptions reflect all outstanding awards for both continuing and discontinued operations.

 Non-Vested Stock Units

 The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units to key employees as determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Non-vested stock units have vesting periods of three years. Non-vested stock units are eligible for dividends, which are reinvested, and are non-voting. All non-vested units have restrictions on the sale or transfer of such awards during the vesting period.

 Generally, grants of non-vested stock units are forfeited if employment is terminated prior to vesting. Non-vested stock units vest pro rata over one year if (i) the grantee has attained the age of 62, as long as the grantee also has a minimum of three years of continuous service from his or her most recent hire date, or (ii) the grantee's age plus total years of service equals 70 or more.

 The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Additionally, cash-settled, non-vested stock units are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company charged $ 20.4 million, $ 18.2 million and $ 16.3 million, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock units. The related income tax benefit recognized in 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 5.0 million, $ 4.5 million and $ 4.0 million, respectively. The fair value of shares vested during 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 24.5 million, $ 16.7 million and $ 11.3 million, respectively.

 The weighted average price per non-vested stock unit at grant date was $ 88.00, $ 93.62 and $ 91.14 for units granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Non-vested stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2023 was as follows:

 As of December 31, 2023, there was $ 14.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects this expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

 Performance Awards

 In 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company granted performance shares to certain senior executives. Performance 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 earned 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. Additionally, in 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company granted 36,170, 24,320 and 24,560 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding a TSR modifier.

 The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier at the grant date in 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $ 88.47, $ 94.59 and $ 91.44, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:

 The fair value of certain officers' and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI and OM performance factors was $ 83.97, $ 91.62 and $ 87.48, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, less the present value of dividend payments over the vesting period.

 The Company recorded compensation expense related to performance awards of $ 2.1 million, $ 3.6 million and $ 13.5 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The related income tax benefit recognized in 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 0.5 million, $ 0.9 million and $ 3.3 million, respectively. The fair value of awards vested during 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 16.2 million, $ 14.6 million and $ 18.6 million, respectively.

 As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to performance awards. The Company expects this expense to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 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 units with a 20 percent premium.

 Note 19 – Leases

 The Company has operating lease agreements for offices, branches, factories, distribution and service facilities and certain personal property. Leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Finance leases are not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at lease inception. Operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company's lease contracts do not include an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated to approximate the interest rate on a collateralized basis with similar terms and payments, and in economic environments where the leased asset is located. The operating lease asset also includes any initial direct costs and lease payments made prior to lease commencement and excludes lease incentives incurred.

 Several leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments that vary based on changes in volume activity, storage activity or changes in the Consumer Price Index or other indices. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

 Operating lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has certain lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, which it has elected to account for as a single lease component for all asset classes.

 As of December 31, 2023, we have entered into leases with total lease payments of approximately $ 80.5 million, primarily for office space and equipment, that have not yet commenced. These leases are expected to commence in 2024 and 2025, with lease terms of up to 14 years.

 Note 20 – Supplier Finance Program Obligations

 Under our supplier finance program, the Company agrees to pay Bank of America (the Bank) the stated amount of confirmed invoices from our suppliers on the original invoice payment due date. Our suppliers may request payment from the Bank at a date earlier than the payment due date stated on the original invoice in exchange for a fee in the form of a discounted invoice amount. Brunswick or the Bank may terminate the agreement upon at least 90 days' notice. The supplier invoices that have been confirmed as valid under the program require payment ranging from 60 to 120 days from the invoice date, consistent with the terms of the original invoice. The Company does not pay the Bank any service fees or subscription fees under the program. In addition, the Company does not pledge any assets as security or provide other forms of guarantees for the committed payment to the Bank. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $ 11.6 million and $ 18.2 million confirmed invoices under the supplier finance program, respectively, which were included in Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The roll-forward of the Company's outstanding obligations confirmed as valid under its supplier finance program for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:
