Brunswick Corporation Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 1995, December 31, 1994 and September 30, 1994 (unaudited) Note 1 - Accounting policies This financial data has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures, normally included in financial statements and footnotes prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted. Brunswick Corporation (the "Company") believes that the disclosures in these statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. These interim results include, in the opinion of the Company, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the quarter and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. The 1995 interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the remainder of the year. The financial statements segregate the results of the Company's discontinued Technical segment. The 1995 and 1994 operating results of the Technical Group have been charged against a reserve established at the time the decision to discontinue the segment was announced. See Note 4 for additional discussion on the Technical Group disposition. Note 2 - Earnings per common share Earnings (loss) per common share are based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Such average shares were 96.1 million and 95.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 96.0 and 95.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Note 3 - Inventories Inventories, of which approximately sixty percent were valued using the LIFO method, consisted of the following at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 (dollars in millions): September 30 December 31 1995 1994 Finished goods $197.8 $233.4 Work in process 139.0 105.2 Raw materials 73.5 70.4 Inventories $410.3 $409.0 Note 4 - Disposition of the Technical segment On April 28, 1995, the Company completed the sale of substantially all the assets of its Technical Group to Technical Products Group, Inc, a recently formed company controlled by TPG Holdings in Atlanta, Georgia. Included in the sale were Brunswick operations in Marion, Virginia; Lincoln, Nebraska; Camden, Arkansas; and Deland, Florida. Excluded were the assets associated with the unit's facility in Costa Mesa, California, which are fully reserved as of September 30, 1995 and for which the Company continues to seek a buyer. In the second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a provision of $11.5 million ($7.0 million after-tax) reflecting lower than anticipated selling prices for those businesses. Note 5 - Restructuring charges and management transition expenses In the second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded restructuring and management transition expenses of $40.0 million($24.4 million after-tax). The charge consists of anticipated losses on the planned divestitures of the golf club shaft business and Circus World Pizza operations in the Recreation segment, and management transition expenses and the costs of an early retirement and selective separation program at the Company's corporate office. The net sales and operating losses (excluding divestiture provisions) of the businesses to be divested consist of the following: Period ended September 30 Quarter Nine-Months 1995 1994 1995 1994 Net sales $4.6 $4.3 $16.4 $14.0 Operating losses 1.9 1.7 5.8 4.6 The Company anticipates that the divestitures of these businesses will be completed by year-end. Note 6 - Acquisition On September 29, 1995, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ray Industries, purchased all of the operating assets of Baja Boats, Inc. The transaction will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 1995. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase and the effect of this acquisition will not be material to the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 8 - Debt Long-term debt at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 consisted of the following (dollars in millions): September 30 December 31 1995 1994 Notes, 8.125%, due 1997 (net of discount of $0.1.) $ 99.9 $ 99.9 Mortgage notes and other, 3% to 10%, payable through 1999 27.1 27.3 Debentures, 7.375%, due 2023, (net of discounts of $0.8 and $0.9) 124.2 124.1 Guaranteed ESOP debt, 8.13%, payable through 2004 70.5 73.1 321.7 324.4 Current maturities (5.7) (5.6) Long-term debt $316.0 $318.8 As of September 30, 1995, the Company and seventeen banks had a short-term credit agreement for $100 million and a long-term credit agreement for $300 million. The termination date of the short-term agreement was November 6, 1995 and the long-term agreement was December 31, 1999. Under terms of the amended agreements, the Company has multiple borrowing options, including borrowings at a corporate base rate, as announced by The First National Bank of Chicago, or a rate tied to the Eurodollar rate. Currently, the Company must pay a facility fee of 0.10% on the short-term agreement and 0.15% on the long-term agreement. Under the agreements, the Company is subject to interest coverage, net worth and leverage tests as well as a restriction on secured debt, as defined. On the interest coverage test, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of consolidated income before interest and taxes, as defined, to consolidated interest expense of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 on a cumulative twelve-month basis. The ratio, on a cumulative twelve-month basis, was 8.6 to 1.0 at September 30, 1995. The leverage ratio of consolidated total debt to capitalization, as defined, may not exceed 0.55 to 1.00, and at September 30, 1995, this ratio was 0.24 to 1.00. The Company is also required to maintain shareholders' equity of least $776.0 million, with the required level of shareholders' equity at December 31 of each year being increased by 50% of net earnings for that year. The Company has complied with this limitation and the secured debt limitation as of September 30, 1995. There were no borrowings under the agreements at September 30, 1995. Effective November 6, 1995, the Company amended the long-term credit agreement and increased the amount to $400 million with a termination date of December 31, 2000. The short-term agreement was canceled. Under terms of the new agreement, the Company will have multiple borrowing options and must pay a facility fee of 0.11%. Note 9 - Litigation The Company is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims which have arisen in the ordinary course of its business and have not been finally adjudicated. In light of existing reserves, the Company's litigation and claims, when finally resolved, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. 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 disposition of certain hazardous wastes. These proceedings, which involve both on and off site waste disposal, in many instances seek compensation 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. On February 3, 1995, the Company announced a series of agreements with Genmar Industries, Inc., including settlement of an antitrust lawsuit brought by Genmar against the Company. Agreements were entered to supply Genmar with marine engines manufactured by the Company and to acquire certain investments in Baja Boats, Inc. from Genmar. The Company's total cash payment relating to these agreements was $22.5 million and had no material impact on the results of operations of the Company. The Federal Trade Commission is conducting an investigation of whether the formation or operations of Tracker Marine L.P. and the Company's contracts with Tracker Marine L.P. violate the antitrust laws. The Company has received and responded to subpoenas seeking information relating to the Company's outboard motor sales. The Company understands that other marine companies have received similar subpoenas from the Federal Trade Commission. Note 10 - Income Taxes In January 1994, the Company reached an agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") regarding its examination of the Company for the years 1985 and 1986. The issues of this examination dealt primarily with the deductibility of approximately $500 million of acquired intangible assets, which the IRS proposed to reclassify to non-deductible intangible assets. Under the terms of the agreement, the IRS agreed to allow amortization deductions for virtually all of the acquired intangible assets, and the Company agreed to increase the amortizable lives of most of the acquired intangible assets. The revised lives created a temporary difference which resulted in an initial obligation by the Company to pay the IRS approximately $55 million during the first quarter of 1994, representing taxes and interest, net of taxes, for the years 1986 through 1993. This initial $55 million obligation will subsequently be reduced by the future tax benefits of the temporary difference created by the agreeement. Since the interest was charged to existing reserves and the taxes paid represent temporary differences which created, and have been recorded as deferred tax assets, this agreement had no impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations. Note 11 - Segment Data The following table sets forth net sales and operating earnings of each of the Company's industry segments for the quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994. Quarter Ended September 30 1995 1994 Net Operating Net Operating Sales Earnings Sales Earnings Marine $ 548.7 $ 54.2 $ 504.0 $ 48.5 Recreation 177.0 10.3 158.1 12.2 Segments 725.7 64.5 662.1 60.7 Corporate - (11.4) - (11.3) Consolidated $ 725.7 $ 53.1 $ 662.1 $ 49.4 Nine Months Ended September 30 1995 1994 Net Operating Net Operating Sales Earnings Sales Earnings Marine $1,769.7 $ 204.7 $1,524.5 $ 156.8 Recreation 569.4 26.5 520.7 60.7 Segments 2,339.1 231.2 2,045.2 217.5 Corporate - (47.0) - (35.0) Consolidated $2,339.1 $184.2 $2,045.2 $ 182.5 The operating earnings of the Recreation segment for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 include a $25.8 million charge for the anticipated losses on the planned divestitiures of the golf club shaft business and Circus World Pizza operations. The Corporate operating expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 include $14.2 million in management transition expenses and costs associated with an early retirement and selective separation program at the Company's corporate office. Management's Discussion and Anaysis Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, cash and cash equivalents increased $68.3 million versus a decrease of $48.1 million in the comparable period of 1994. Net cash provided by operating activities rose to $178.7 million compared to the $96.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994. The net cash provided by operating activities increased, despite a slight decline in net earnings, primarily because a significant portion of the provisions for the restructuring charge and loss on the divestiture of the Technical segment did not effect cash in the period. Net cash used for investing activities for the first nine months of 1995 was $69.1 million compared to $106.5 million for the same period of 1994. The decrease resulted primarily from the receipt of proceeds from the divestiture of the Company's Technical segment and the net redemption of marketable securities with maturities of more than ninety days in 1995 compared to a net investment in such securities in 1994, partially offset by increased capital expenditures and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Net cash used for financing activities increased to $41.3 million for the first nine months of 1995 compared to $37.9 million in the same period of 1994. The change resulted primarily from a 14% increase in cash dividends paid to $.375 per share in 1995 versus $.33 per share in 1994. Working capital at September 30, 1995 was $583.0 million compared to $436.2 million at December 31, 1994. The Company's current ratio was 1.9 at September 30, 1995 and 1.7 at December 31, 1994. Total debt at September 30, 1995 was $321.7 million versus $327.0 million at December 31, 1994. The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 24.4% at September 30, 1995 compared to 26.4% at December 31, 1994. At September 30, 1995, the Company maintained a $100 million short-term and a $300 million long-term line of credit agreement with a group of banks. For an explanation of the agreement and a discussion of the specific covenant restrictions and current negotiations, see page 7, Note 8 - Debt. Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1995 were $85.6 million compared to $60.3 million for the comparable period of 1994. The Company believes that operating cash flows and existing cash balances, supplemented when necessary with short and/or long-term borrowings, will continue to provide the financial resources necessary for capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Management's Discussion and Analysis Results of Operations Third Quarter and the First Nine Months of 1995 vs. 1994 Net Sales Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 1995 increased 10% to $725.7 million from $662.1 million in the third quarter of 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net sales rose 14% to $2,339.1 million from the $2,045.2 million in the comparable period of 1994. The Marine and Recreation segments each contributed to the improvements in both reporting periods. The Marine segment net sales for the third quarter of 1995 increased 9% to $548.7 million compared to $504.0 million in the 1994 period. The improvement reflects an 18% increase in international sales and a 7% increase in domestic sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net sales rose 16% to $1,769.7 million from the $1,524.5 million in the comparable period of 1994. International sales rose 23% while domestic sales improved 14% in the nine month period. The third quarter increase resulted primarily from continued strong demand for boats in Europe. The nine month increase reflected the improvement in international sales of boats, primarily Europe, and the strong demand for marine engines through the first six months of 1995, which slowed somewhat in the third quarter as dealers reduced their inventories from seasonal highs. The Recreation segment's third quarter net sales rose 12%, to $177.0 million from $158.1 million for the same period of 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net sales increased to $569.4 million, or 9%, from the $520.7 million for the same period of 1994. The third quarter net sales improvement resulted primarily from continued strong East Asian demand for the Brunswick Indoor Recreation Group's bowling capital equipment and increased European demand for the products of the Zebco Division. For the nine months, the Zebco Division's sales increased both domestically and internationally, while the Brunswick Indoor Recreation Group experienced stronger domestic demand for consumer products and billiards in addition to the aforementioned international bowling capital equipment sales increase. Operating Earnings For the third quarter, 1995 operating earnings rose 7%, to $53.1 million from $49.4 million in 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, operating earnings were $184.2 million compared to $182.5 million for the same period of 1994. The 1995 nine month results include a $40.0 million provision for restructuring charges and management transition expenses. Absent these charges, for the nine months operating earnings would have been $224.2 million, or 23% higher than 1994. The Marine segment reported operating earnings of $54.2 million for the third quarter of 1995 compared to $48.5 million for the same period of 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, operating earnings were $204.7 million versus $156.8 million for the comparable period of 1994. The previously discussed domestic and international sales increases accounted for the improvement, offset in part by increased manufacturing, advertising, marketing and product research and development expenses. The Recreation segment operating earnings were $10.3 million for the third quarter of 1995 compared to $12.2 million in 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, operating earnings were $26.5 million compared to $60.7 million in the 1994 period. The 1995 results include a $25.8 million restructuring charge for the planned divestitures of the golf shaft business and Circus World Pizza operations. Excluding the restructuring charge, operating earnings were $52.3 million. The decline in both reporting periods, despite the sales increases, resulted primarily from increased research and development expenses, marketing expenses and manufacturing expenses related to the Brunswick Indoor Recreation Group's new Frameworx capital equipment line that began to be shipped in the third quarter of 1995 and lower margins on sales of German-manufactured pinsetters due to currency fluctuations. The Zebco Division's operating earnings improved in both reporting period comparisons primarily due to the previously discussed sales increases. Corporate expenses for the third quarter of 1995 were $11.4 milliom compared to $11.3 million in the third quarter of 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, corporate expenses were $47.0 million compared to $35.0 million in the comparable period of 1994. The nine month reporting period in 1995 includes a provision of $14.2 million for management transition expenses and the costs of an early retirement and selective separation program at the Company's corporate office. Excluding the provision, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, corporate expenses were $32.8 million compared to $35.0 million for 1994. Interest Expense and Other Items, Net Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 increased to $8.0 million from $7.0 million the same period of 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, interest expense rose to $23.9 million from the $20.3 million reported for the 1994 period. The increase for both reporting periods resulted primarily from increased interest expense on interest rate swap transactions. Interest income and other items, net for the third quarter of 1995 was $8.2 million versus $1.6 million for the comparable period of 1994. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, interest income and other items, net increased to $14.7 million from $11.3 for the same period of 1994. The increase in both reporting periods was primarily due to foreign currency gains in 1995 compared to foreign currency losses in 1994. Income Taxes The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the first nine months of 1995 and 1994 was 36%. The effective tax rate for both periods exceeds the statutory rate due to the impact of non-deductible permanent differences and the effect of higher foreign tax rates. The effective tax rate from continuing operations for the third quarter of 1995 was 35% compared to 33% for the same period of 1994. The third quarter rates reflect the adjustment to an effective tax rate of 36% at September 30, 1995 and 1994 from the effective tax rates used for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.
