PresentationRecognition of Benefit CostsLeases: In March 2017,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-07,2016-02, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit CostLeases, (new leasing standard), which amended the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) related to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the income statement presentation ofbalance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. On January 1, 2019, the components of net periodic benefit cost for an entity’s sponsored defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The amendment requires entities to present the current-service-cost component with other current compensation costs in the income statement within income from operations and present the other components outside of income from operations. The Company adopted this amendment retrospectively during the first quarter of 2018. As a result, $1.1 millionnew leasing standard and $1.4 million were reclassified from Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to Other income (expense), net for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Company reclassified $3.2 million and $4.2 million from Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to Other income (expense), net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.all related amendments. The Company elected to applythe optional transition method provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, and as a result, has not restated its condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods presented. The Company has elected the practical expedientexpedients upon transition to retain the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that permits the use of previously disclosed service cost and other costs from theexisted prior year postretirement benefits footnote in the comparative periods as appropriate estimates when retrospectively changing the presentation of these costs.to adoption. The Company has also not reassessed whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases.

Statement of Cash Flows Classifications: In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amended the ASC to add and/or clarify guidance on the classification of certain transactions in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this amendment during the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition: In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (new revenue standard), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new revenue standard and all related amendments for all contracts using the modified retrospective method. The Company did not elect to separately evaluate contract modifications occurring before the

adoption date. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the January 1, 2018 balance of retained earnings. Prior period information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the terms of sale, primarily upon shipment to customers. Under the new revenue standard, estimated costs associated with retail sales promotions anticipated to be offered to customers within the Company's Boat segment are recognized at the time of sale, whereas under previous guidance, these promotions were recorded at the later of when the program was communicated to the customer or the time of sale. In addition, certain Fitness segment customer contracts offer incentives in the form of rebates settled with free product. These rebates are deemed to be separate performance obligations under the new revenue standard, and the revenue associated with the product rebates is deferred and recognized upon customer redemption. Under previous guidance, these product rebates were recorded in Cost of sales at the time of product sale. These impacts result in a change in the timing of when certain promotions and rebates are recorded, however, the total amount of cumulative revenue recognized over the life of the contract remains unchanged.
Comprehensive Income. The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance SheetsSheet as of January 1, 20182019 for the adoption of the new revenueleasing standard was as follows:

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at lease inception. Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) 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 ROU asset also includes any initial direct costs and lease payments made prior to lease commencement, and excludes lease incentives incurred.
Revenue
The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized as performance obligations under the terms of contracts with customers are satisfied; this occurs when control of promised goods (engines, engine parts and accessories, boats, and fitness equipment) 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 periodon a straight-line basis over the life of the extended warranty period.
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or providing services.lease term. The Company has excluded sales, value add,certain lease agreements that contain both lease and other taxes collected concurrent with revenue-producing activities from the determination of the transaction price for all contracts. The Companynon-lease components, which it has elected to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer has obtained control of a good as a fulfillment activity. Forsingle lease component 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.

Hedge Accounting: In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, to simplify the application of hedge accounting and to better align an entity's risk management activities with the financial reporting of hedging relationships. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoptingadopted this ASC amendment but doesand it did not expect it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Recognition of Leases: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, (new leasing standard), which amended the ASC to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Lessees will recognize expenses similar to current lease accounting. The amendment is to be applied using a modified retrospective method with certain practical expedients, and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to elect the practical expedients upon transition that will retain the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that exist prior to adoption. The Company will also not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases.

In July, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements, which amended the ASC to provide relief from implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard. The amendment provides an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leasing standard where an entity initially applies the new leasing standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company plans to elect this option and as a result, will not restate its condensed consolidated financial statements on the date of initial application. The Company anticipates the adoption of the standard will result in the recognition of approximately $85.0 million to $130.0 million in right-of-use assets and lease obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will not materially impact results on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

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 Marine Engine segments, most product sales are wholesale financed by customers 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 10 –Financial Services, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2017 Form 10-K. In addition, periodically the Company may require the customer to provide up front 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 included with the product sale. 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 year 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.
For certain customers within the Fitness segment, the Company provides rebate incentives settled in free product. These rebates provide the customer with a material right which would not have been received without entering into the contract and, therefore, represent a separate performance obligation to which revenue is allocated based on the products' stand-alone selling price. This revenue is deferred and recognized at a point in time upon rebate redemption, with a commensurate charge to Cost of sales for related product costs. The Company also provides product installation services to certain customers for which the Company recognizes revenue at the time of installation, using an observable price to determine the stand-alone selling price.

2019, $57.7 million in 2019,2020, and $67.7$60.1 million thereafter. Contract assets as of January 1, 2018 and September 29, 2018 were not material. In addition, costs to obtain and fulfill contracts during the period were not material.
The amount of consideration received can vary, primarily because of customer incentive or rebate arrangements. In addition, the Company provides customers the right to return eligible products under certain circumstances. The Company estimates variable consideration based on the expected value of total consideration to which customers are likely to be entitled based on historical experience and projected market expectations. Included in the estimate, is an assessment as to whether any variable consideration is constrained. Revenue estimates are adjusted at the earlier of a change in the expected value of consideration or when the consideration becomes fixed.

Note 3 – Discontinued Operations

On December 5, 2017, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to exit its Sea Ray business, including the Meridian brand, as a result of, among other things, a material change in strategic direction and a review of the expected future cash flows, market conditions and business trends. The Company engaged in a thorough sales process and determined that the offers received did not reflect an appropriate value for the brand. As a result, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to end the sale process for its Sea Ray business. This action was announced on June 25, 2018. As part of this action, the Company decided to restructure the businesses, including discontinuing Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht models and winding down yacht production, while reinventing Sea Ray Sport Boat and Sport Cruiser operations. The winding down of Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations was largely completed as of the third quarter of 2018.

Due to the change in the plan of sale discussed above, the Sea Ray long-lived assets were measured at the lower of their carrying amount before being classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation expense that would have been recognized had the assets been continuously classified as held and used, or their fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. As a result, the Company recorded a charge of $3.3 million, $2.4 million after-tax, for an impairment of long-lived assets for the three months ended September 29, 2018 and $12.7 million, $9.7 million after-tax, for the nine months ended September 29, 2018. The Company used independent market appraisals (a Level 2 input) to estimate the fair value of the two yacht manufacturing facilities. Additionally, the Company utilized experience from similar historical disposals and internal expertise related to current marketplace conditions (Level 3 inputs) to estimate the fair value of specific fixed assets related to the production of yacht models to be discontinued. The reassessment indicated that the carrying value, which included $3.8 million of catch-up depreciation for the period the assets were classified as held for sale, was greater than the fair value.

In connection with the wind down of Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $15.8 million for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively, as a reduction of revenue related to estimated retail sales promotions payable to customers to support the sale of sport yachts and yachts in the dealer pipeline. Further, the Company recorded charges necessary to facilitate the wind down of yacht production as discussed in Note 5 – Restructuring, Exit, Integration and Impairment Activities.

The assets and liabilities of the Sea Ray business, which were previously reported as held for sale, have been reclassified to assets and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented. Additionally, the results of these businesses are no longer presented as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in any period presented.
Note 4 –Acquisitions
On August 9, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of the Global Marine Business of Power Products Holdings, LLC (Power Products) for $910.0 million in cash, on a cash-free, debt-free basis. Brunswick used a combination of 364-day, three-year and five-year term loans (Term Loans), totaling $800 million, along with cash on hand, to finance the acquisition as described in Note 16 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Power Products is a leading provider of electrical products to marine and other recreational and specialty vehicle markets. The acquisition advances Brunswick’s leadership by adding integrated electrical systems solutions to the marine market and an array of other mobile, specialty vehicle and industrial applications. Power Products is managed as part of the Marine Engine segment.

The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with Brunswick being the acquiring entity, and reflects 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 $10.5 million and $13.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively. The net sales and operating loss of Power Products consolidated into Brunswick's financial statements since the date of acquisition were $33.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, for both the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018. The operating loss included $9.4 million of purchase accounting amortization.

Due to the recent timing of this acquisition, the purchase price allocation for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and subject to change within the allowed measurement period as the Company finalizes its fair value estimates. The following table is a summary of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and net cash consideration paid for the Power Products acquisition during 2018:

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

Prior to the acquisition, Power Products utilized a fiscal year ending August 31, and Brunswick’s fiscal year ends on December 31 of each year. As the Brunswick and Power Products fiscal years differ by more than 93 days, pursuant to Rule 11-02(c)(3) of Regulation S-X, Power Products’ historical unaudited financial information was adjusted for the purpose of presenting the Unaudited Pro Forma Net sales and Net earnings for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The Unaudited Pro Forma Net sales and Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was prepared using Power Products’ historical unaudited Net sales and Net earnings for the three months ended November 30, 2017. The Unaudited Pro Forma Net sales and Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was prepared using Power Products’ historical unaudited Net sales and Net earnings for the nine months ended November 30, 2017. 

The pro forma information has been prepared as if the Power Products acquisition and the related debt financing had occurred on January 1, 2017. 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, 2017 and are not necessarily indicative of Brunswick's consolidated results of net earnings in future periods. The pro forma results include adjustments primarily related to interest expense on the Term Loans and amortization of intangible assets. Additionally, the pro forma adjustments include the following non-recurring amounts:

(A) Transaction costs and;
(B) Expense related to the estimated fair value adjustment to inventory recognized as part of the application of purchase accounting.

The Company granted a nominal number of stock awards during the three months ended September 29, 2018 and September 30, 2017. The Company granted 0.3 million and 0.2 million of stock awards during both the ninethree months ended September 29, 2018March 30, 2019 and September 30, 2017, respectively.March 31, 2018. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units and awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units and awards are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During the three months ended March 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 29,March 31, 2018, the Company charged $4.0$2.6 million and $9.9$2.5 million, respectively, and charged $2.9 million and $8.5 million during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to compensation expense for non-vested stock awards.

As of September 29, 2018,March 30, 2019, there was $16.5$27.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.32.4 years.

Performance Awards

In both February of 20182019 and 2017,2018, the Company granted 0.1 million 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 the Company's stock returns measured against stock returns of a predefined comparator group over a three-year performance

During the three months ended March 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 29,March 31, 2018, the Company charged $2.1recognized a charge of $0.7 million and $3.3a benefit of $0.5 million, respectively, and charged $2.8 million and $5.9 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to compensation expense based on projections of probable attainment of the performance measures and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards.

The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier for grants in 2019 and 2018 were $49.64 and 2017 were $61.59, and $64.82, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:

Due to recent, significant progress made toward the planned Fitness business separation and the strong level of buyer interest in the sales process, the Company re-evaluated the fair value of the Fitness reporting unit in the first quarter of 2019. To assess fair value, the Company performed a quantitative test using a combination of the market approach and the income approach. Fair value under the market approach was informed by significant progress made on the sale process during the quarter. 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 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.

As a result of performing the fair value test, the Company determined the fair value of the Fitness reporting unit was less than its carrying value resulting in a pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $137.2 million ($103.0 million after tax) for the three months ended March 30, 2019. The impairment was calculated in accordance with ASU 2017-04 as discussed in Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The charge was recorded within the Company’s Fitness segment within Restructuring, exit, integration and impairment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Adjustments for the ninethree months ended September 29, 2018 and SeptemberMarch 30, 2017 primarily2019 mainly relate to refining purchase accounting related to the Power Products acquisition. 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. See Note 4 –Acquisitions for further details on the Company's acquisitions.

As of September 29, 2018, December 31, 2017 and SeptemberMarch 30, 2017,2019 the Company had $137.2 million of accumulated impairment loss on Goodwill. There was no accumulated impairment loss on Goodwill.Goodwill as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018.

Note 1412Income Taxes

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $(11.4) million and an income tax provision of $27.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 29,March 31, 2018, of $4.9 million and $51.1 million, respectively, which included a net discrete tax benefitsbenefit of $10.5$(0.6) million and $7.8a net charge of $6.7 million, respectively. The net tax benefit of $10.5$(0.6) million isrelated to certain special tax items. The net charge of $6.7 million was due primarily associated withto updates related to 2017 tax reform. The net tax benefit of $7.8 million was primarily associated with updates related to 2017 tax reform and the excess tax benefit related to share-based compensation. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $30.0 million and $99.1 million, respectively, which included net discrete tax benefits of $0.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively, primarily associated with the net excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision (benefit) as a percentage of pre-taxearnings (loss) before income taxes, for the three months ended March 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 29,March 31, 2018 was 6.523.9 percent and 18.727.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 27.5 percent and 27.3 percent, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, tax legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law. The TCJA made significant changes to the U.S. tax code effective for 2018, with certain provisions having impacted the Company’s 2017 financial results. The changes that impacted 2017 included, but were not limited to, the write-down of deferred tax assets resulting from the lowering of the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, imposing a one-time repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, and bonus depreciation that allowed for immediate full expensing of qualified property. The TCJA also established new corporate tax laws that are effective in 2018 but did not impact the Company’s 2017 financial results. These 2018 changes include, but are not limited to, lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate, a general elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, a new tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) net of allowable foreign tax credits, a new deduction for foreign derived intangible income (FDII), the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction, new limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation and interest expense, and limitations on the use of foreign tax credits to reduce the U.S. federal income tax liability.

Due to the complexities involved in accounting for the enactment of the TCJA, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 118 which provided guidance on accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the TCJA enactment date to complete the accounting for the impact of the TCJA. SAB 118 allowed the Company to provide provisional estimates of the impact of the TCJA in our financial statements for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, based on information and IRS guidance available as of the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded a discrete net tax expense of $71.8 million in the fourth quarter and year ended

(unaudited)


December 31, 2017. This expense consisted primarily of a net expense of $56.5 million for the write down of our net deferred tax assets due to the U.S. corporate income tax rate reduction and a net expense of $15.3 million for the one-time deemed repatriation tax. On the basis of updated guidance from the IRS and updates to our calculations, for the nine months ended September 29, 2018, we recorded an additional discrete tax benefit of $2.5 million, consisting primarily of a $7.0 million discrete tax expense related to the one-time deemed repatriation tax and a discrete tax benefit of $9.5 million primarily related to additional tax benefits for pension contributions. The Company has not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of the TCJA and the provisional amounts will continue to be refined as needed during the measurement period allowed by SAB 118. While the Company has made reasonable estimates of the impact of the U.S. corporate income tax rate reduction and the one-time deemed repatriation tax on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, these estimates could change as the Company finalizes its 2017 deferred tax balances, refines its calculations of earnings and profits which could impact the repatriation tax calculation, and analyzes new IRS guidance related to the TCJA.

The TCJA created a new requirement that certain income (commonly referred to as "GILTI") earned by controlled foreign corporations (CFC’s) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFC’s U.S. shareholder. Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules we are continuing to evaluate this provision of the TCJA. Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either (1) treating taxes due on U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factoring such amounts into the Company’s measurement of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). Our selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. Whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends not only on our current structure and estimated future results of global operations but also our intent and ability to modify our structure and/or our business. The Company has included an estimate of the GILTI tax in the Company’s annualized effective tax rate used to determine tax expense for the three months and nine months ended September 29, 2018. However, we have not yet made a policy choice regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI.

The Company will continue to analyze the effects of the TCJA on its financial statements and operations. Additional impacts from the enactment of the TCJA will be recorded as they are identified during the measurement period as allowed by SAB 118.

No deferred income taxes have been provided as of September 29, 2018,March 30, 2019, December 31, 20172018 or September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 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. The Company continues to provide deferred taxes, primarily related to foreign withholding taxes,as required, on the undistributed net earnings of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates that are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States.

As of September 29, 2018,March 30, 2019, December 31, 20172018 and September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Company had $2.6$2.7 million, $2.3 million and $2.3$2.8 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 29, 2018March 30, 2019 could decrease by approximately $0.7$1.0 million in the next 12 months due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in the applicable statute of limitations. Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the settlement of tax audits, it is possible that there could be significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2018,2019, but the amount cannot be estimated.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 2014 through 2017 tax years. Primarily as a result of filing amended returns, which were generated by the closing of federal income tax audits, the Company is still open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2012 taxable year. The Company is not under anyno longer subject to income tax examinationexaminations by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2013.

Item 2. 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 (Brunswick or the Company) are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing because of factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in Brunswick’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the 2018 Form 10-K).

Certain statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. For example, the discussion of Brunswick Corporation's (Brunswick or the Company)Company’s cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity,liquidity; the discussion of the Company's net sales includes comparisonsa discussion of net sales on a constant currency basis and excluding acquisitions and Sport Yacht and Yacht operations; the discussion of the Company's earnings includes comparisonsa presentation of operating earnings (loss) and operating margin excluding restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges, Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, purchase accounting amortization and costs related to the planned Fitness business separation; gross margin excluding Sport Yacht and Yacht operations and purchase accounting amortization; and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income,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. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.

The Company includes non-GAAP financial measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as Brunswick’s management believes that these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tools that management uses and to better evaluate the Company’s ongoing business performance. In order to better align Brunswick's reported results with the internal metrics used by the Company's management 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 the Power Products acquisition.

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing because of factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors in Brunswick’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the 2017 Form 10-K) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for subsequent periods.

Brunswick does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because it is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include pension settlement charges, restructuring, exit, integration and impairment costs, special tax items, costs related to the planned Fitness business separation, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.

Boat segment netin 2018. Excluding this factor, sales increased compared with the same prior year period. Sport Yacht and Yacht sales, which included timing benefits as a result of the adoption and implementation of the new revenue standard, negatively affected sales comparisons by 5 percent. Net sales for the segment benefited from strong growth in the saltwater fishing category, due in part to the impact of hurricane activity on 2017 results, andsales increases for aspirational brands with premium content, including Sea Ray Sport Boats and Cruisers as well as solid growthSport Cruisers. Unit volumes declined due mostly to softness in pontoon boats and at Lund. Partially offsetting these factors were continued weakness at Lowevalue categories, due in part to weather delaying the start of the retail season. Average selling prices expanded due to the transition away from Cabela'spositive mix benefits and slower wholesale demand in Canada due to tariffs. Global wholesale boat shipments were down, but sales increases were aided by higher average selling prices as customers continue to migrate toincreased content on boats, along with more content and higher horsepower engines. In addition,inflationary price increases were implemented in response to inflation, particularly in aluminum fishing boats and pontoons.increases. International net sales were 1827 percent of the segment's net sales in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019 and decreased 152 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis, international sales increased 1 percent, reflecting sales growth in Canada and excludingRest-of-World, partially offset by declines in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Boat segment operating earnings increased in the first quarter of 2019 when compared with the first quarter of 2018, primarily reflecting benefits from the wind-down of Sea Ray Sport Yacht and Yacht operations completed in 2018. Excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, international net salesoperating earnings decreased 11 percentslightly as declinesa result of less favorable plant efficiencies at certain of our boat facilities, due in Canadapart to new product integrations, and Europeplanned spending on profit improvement initiatives. These negative factors were partially offset by increasedpositive changes in sales to Asia-Pacific.mix.

Boat segment net sales decreased slightly in the first nine months of 2018 when compared with the same prior year period as a result of the quarterly factors discussed above, except Sport Yacht and Yacht sales negatively affected sales comparisons by 7 percent. International net sales were 25 percent of the segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2018, and increased 1 percent from the prior year on a GAAP basis. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of Sport Yacht and Yacht operations, international net sales increased 1 percent as increased sales to Canada and Asia-Pacific were offset by declines in Rest-of-world regions.

Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the third quarter of 2018 when compared with the third quarter of 2017. The decrease was the result of higher restructuring, exit, integration and impairment charges and weaker operating performance from Sport Yacht and Yacht operations as a result of the wind-down. These factors more than offset positive earnings contributions from the rest of the businesses, which benefited from increased sales and a favorable impact from changes in product mix. Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the first nine months of 2018 compared with 2017 due to the same factors discussed for the quarterly period above.

The Company expects its cash tax rate to be in the low-singlehigh-single digit percentage range in 2018, reflecting the recently enacted TCJA which reduced the U.S federal statutory rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. This also includes benefits from an income tax refund, deductions resulting from planned capital spending and increased pension contributions.

Additionally, as a result of the TCJA, specifically the imposition of a one-time deemed repatriation tax on certain unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, the Company reevaluated its indefinite reinvestment assertion as of December 31, 2017 and has since determined that certain non-U.S. subsidiaries will remain permanently reinvested. As a result of the TCJA, the Company has implemented a plan to remit cash back to the U.S. in 2018 from non-U.S. subsidiaries. No additional U.S. federal tax liability has been incurred, or is expected to be incurred, related to these remittances. The Company is continuing to analyze the effects of

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in the 20172018 Form 10-K, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

On January 1, 2018,As a result of the Company adoptedearly adoption of ASU 2014-09,2017-04, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill ImpairmentRefer to as discussed in Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policiesand in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company no longer uses the two-step goodwill impairment test described in the 2018 Form 10-K. Previously, the first step of the goodwill impairment test compared the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount exceeded fair value, a second step was performed to measure the implied fair value of goodwill and compare it with the carrying value of goodwill. Under the new standard, the second step is not performed; the goodwill impairment is simply measured as the carrying value of the reporting unit less its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. The Company applied the new standard in calculating the $137.2 million goodwill impairment recorded within the Fitness segment in the first quarter of 2019 as discussed in Note 29Revenue RecognitionGoodwill and Other Intangibles in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsStatements.

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 further information regarding the adoptionpurposes of this impairment will prove to be an accurate prediction of the standardfuture.

Brunswick is currently working to separate the Fitness business, which could involve either a sale or spin-off transaction. There are several factors that could result in the need for an additional impairment charge.  For example, the separation may result in a sale and proceeds may be different than our current assumptions, or the impactassumptions underlying the income approach may vary, including possible declines in future operating results. It is not possible to predict what the valuation outcome will be and how the facts and circumstances at the time will influence the Brunswick Board of Directors’ final decision on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.method of separation.

There were no further material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies since the filing of its 20172018 Form 10-K.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Brunswick’s operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of Brunswick’s common stock. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the 20172018 Form 10-K, other than certain updates to the risk factor set forth below.

The anticipated Fitness business separation could be disruptive to the business and Quarterly Reportsour operations, and there can be no assurance that it will provide business benefits or that it will be consummated within the anticipated time period or at all.
The Fitness business separation, whether a sale or spin-off transaction, like any business separation, involves risks, including difficulties associated with the separation of operations, services, and personnel, disruption in our operations or businesses, the potential loss of key employees, and adverse effects on Form 10-Qrelationships with business partners. In addition, we will incur significant expense in connection with the separation, and completion of the proposed transaction will require significant amounts of management time and effort, which may divert management’s attention from other aspects of our business operations. If we do not successfully manage these risks, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. Likewise, we cannot assure that we will be able to complete the business separation within the announced timeline, or at all. Unanticipated developments, including disruptions in general market conditions or other developments, could delay, prevent, or otherwise adversely affect the separation. Delays or failure to consummate the separation could negatively affect our business and financial results.
The proposed separation may not achieve the intended results, or results may take longer to realize than expected. The anticipated benefits of the separation are based on a number of factors that we cannot predict. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a $137.2 million ($103.0 million after tax) goodwill impairment within the Fitness segment. If the separation results in a sale, the proceeds may be different than our current assumptions, or the assumptions underlying the income approach may vary, including possible declines in future operating results, resulting in the need for subsequent periods.an additional impairment charge. It is difficult to predict the valuation outcome in the event of a sale. 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 the purposes of the first quarter impairment will prove to be an accurate prediction as of the time of the separation.
In addition to these risks, we face other risks specific to a spin-off of the Fitness business, as opposed to a sale, including the risk that a spin-off could result in significant tax liability to the Company or our shareholders, despite the steps we have taken to avoid this result. Completion of the spin-off is conditioned on our receipt of a written legal opinion to the effect that the distribution of Life Fitness common stock will qualify for non-recognition of gain and loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.
The legal opinion will not address any U.S. state or local or foreign tax consequences of the spin-off, and will rely on the continuing effectiveness and validity of the favorable private letter ruling (the “IRS Ruling”) from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding such U.S. Federal income tax consequences of the spin-off. The Company has received the IRS Ruling, which relies on certain facts, assumptions, representations, and undertakings from the Fitness business and from Brunswick. If any of these facts, assumptions, representations, or undertakings are incorrect or not otherwise satisfied, we may not be able to rely on the IRS Ruling. In addition, the IRS ruling is not a comprehensive ruling from the IRS regarding all aspects of the U.S. Federal income tax consequences of the transactions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the legal opinion and the IRS Ruling, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position.
Further, the legal opinion will be based on certain representations as to factual matters from the Company and the Fitness business. The opinion cannot be relied on if any of the assumptions, representations, or covenants is incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate, or is violated in any material respect. If the distribution of Life Fitness common stock were determined not to qualify for non-recognition of gain and loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, U.S. holders could be subject to significant tax consequences.
The final determination to proceed with a spin-off or sale is a decision of our Board of Directors, and this determination could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial results. There are many factors that could impact the structure or timing of, the anticipated benefits from, or determination to ultimately proceed with, the separation, including global economic conditions, tax considerations, market conditions, and changes in the regulatory or legal environment, any of which could adversely impact the value of the separation transaction to our shareholders. Additionally, the completion of the separation will be complex, costly, and time-consuming, and an inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits, as well as delays encountered in the process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, costs, and operating results of the Company.
