Brunswick Corporation - Earnings Release

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Constant Currency Reporting

In this presentation, Brunswick uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are numerical measures of a registrant's historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that exclude amounts, or are subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the registrant; or include amounts, or are subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented.

Brunswick has used certain non-GAAP financial measures that are included in this presentation for several years, both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Brunswick's management believes that these measures (including those that are non-GAAP financial measures) and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view Brunswick's performance using the same tools that Brunswick uses and to better evaluate Brunswick's ongoing business performance. In addition, 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-GAAPmeasures exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to the Power Products and Freedom Boat Club acquisitions.

For additional information and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures, please see Brunswick's Current Report on Form 8-K issued on October 29, 2020, which is available at www.brunswick.com, and the Appendix to this presentation.

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 restructuring, exit and impairment costs, special tax items, acquisition-related costs, and certain other unusual adjustments.

For purposes of comparison, 2020 net sales growth is also shown using 2019 exchange rates for the comparative period to enhance the visibility of the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. We refer to this as "constant currency" reporting.
