“Brunswick delivered an excellent start to 2026, building on the market recovery in the second half of last year, with first quarter results ahead of expectations and prior year despite the dynamic geopolitical and tariff environment,” said David Foulkes, Brunswick Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. “For the third consecutive quarter, year over year net sales increased across all segments, driven by steady retail trends, continued market share gains, strong OEM demand, accelerated new product and technology introductions, and disciplined operational execution across the enterprise.
Boat retail performance continued to stabilize, with overall first quarter global unit retail approximately flat compared to the relatively strong first quarter of last year and premium sales up. This marked the third consecutive quarter of improved relative retail performance, reinforcing our confidence in a flat-to-slightly improved retail market environment as the year progresses. Strong boating participation continued to support increased sales in our recurring revenue parts and accessories, aftermarket, and subscription boating businesses.
From an inventory perspective, conditions remain exceptionally healthy. Boat and engine pipelines continue to be lean and well aligned with underlying demand, reflecting our deliberate approach to matching wholesale shipments to retail sales. Global boat pipelines were down year over year and flat sequentially, positioning both Brunswick and our dealers well heading into the prime selling season.
In our core U.S. market, product demand and boating participation remain relatively unaffected by the conflict in the Middle East, although the health of the value consumer remains a focus. We have a small direct exposure to Middle East markets but are monitoring trends in Australia and New Zealand and other more exposed markets as oil supply tightens. Our high exposure to the most insulated markets, particularly the U.S. and Canada, which account for more than 70 percent of our total sales, balanced portfolio, lean channel inventories, and operational discipline position us strongly to effectively navigate the macroeconomic volatility.
Our Propulsion business delivered a very strong quarter, with significant year over year sales growth driven by robust OEM demand and continued share gains. Mercury Marine maintained industry-leading positions globally, highlighted by record share at major boat shows and a 200 basis point increase in U.S. outboard market share in the quarter. The powerful operating performance of the business helped to minimize the expected impact from incremental tariffs and incremental product investment on operating earnings.
Engine Parts and Accessories delivered another solid quarter with increased sales and operating margin over the prior year, benefiting from healthy boating participation and continued distribution share gains. This high-margin, recurring-revenue business continues to provide earnings stability and strong cash generation through the cycle.
Navico Group continued its strong performance trend, growing sales and operating margin in the quarter, evidencing the transition from stabilization to growth. Sales increased across all business lines, supported by new product launches, improving OEM and distribution demand, and strong operational execution. Margin expansion in the quarter reflected both solid operating leverage and the benefits from our continued business performance improvement actions.
In our Boat segment, improved retail conditions and disciplined wholesale alignment drove growth in sales and operating margin, alongside continued momentum in our Business Acceleration portfolio. Freedom Boat Club continued to increase its memberships, trips, and locations and, earlier this month, we completed the acquisition of the largest remaining franchise club in the Freedom network that serves the Boston and Cape Cod region. The acquisition will be immediately accretive to earnings.
Finally, we continued to execute our disciplined capital allocation strategy, delivering our fourteenth consecutive annual dividend increase and repurchasing $20 million in shares year to date, underscoring our commitment to returning capital to shareholders while maintaining a strong balance sheet.
Overall, the first quarter demonstrated the strength of our operating model, the benefits of our portfolio mix, the strength of our brands, and our ability to deliver solid financial performance and share gains in a still evolving external environment,” Foulkes concluded.
2026 First Quarter Results
For the first quarter of 2026, Brunswick reported consolidated net sales of $1,378.1 million, an increase of 13 percent versus the first quarter of 2025. Diluted EPS for the quarter was $0.32 on a GAAP basis and $0.70 on an as adjusted basis, an increase of 25 percent versus the first quarter of 2025.
Sales growth reflected improved wholesale and retail trends, continued market share gains in propulsion and several boat categories, strong OEM demand for propulsion, components and electronics, favorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, pricing actions commencing in the second half of 2025, and solid boating participation driving aftermarket performance. Strong earnings growth in the quarter was supported by the increased sales, favorable mix, improved absorption, and disciplined cost management more than offsetting the impact of incremental tariffs implemented after the first quarter of last year.
Additionally, versus the first quarter of 2025:
Propulsion segment reported a 17 percent increase in sales resulting primarily from strong OEM orders, wholesale acceleration, and continued global share gains. Segment adjusted operating earnings and margin were lower, as the benefits from higher sales and improved absorption were slightly more offset by incremental tariffs and planned accelerated investments in new product development.
Engine Parts and Accessories segment reported a 14 percent increase in sales led by healthy boater participation, driving a 15 percent increase in the products business and a 13 percent increase in the distribution business further supported by continued distribution market share gains. Segment adjusted operating earnings increased 24 percent reflecting the segment’s robust operating leverage.
Navico Group segment reported a 7 percent increase in sales with growth across all business lines supported by improving OEM demand, steady aftermarket performance, and operational efficiency. Segment adjusted operating earnings increased 64 percent and adjusted operating margin increased by 280 basis points reflecting the progressive benefits of product portfolio optimization, operational improvements, and disciplined cost control actions which more than offset incremental tariffs.
Boat segment reported a 6 percent increase in sales driven by higher wholesale shipments and stabilized retail conditions, favorable mix, and continued momentum in the Business Acceleration portfolio. Segment adjusted operating earnings increased 63 percent, reflecting the leverage from higher sales and favorable mix. Freedom Boat Club continued to deliver strong growth in key metrics including the number of trips which increased 20 percent to start the year.
Review of Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Cash and marketable securities totaled $289.3 million at the end of the first quarter, up $13.6 million from 2025 year-end levels.
Net cash used for operating activities of continuing operations during the first three months of 2026 was $63.7 million, primarily reflecting operating results and changes in working capital.
Investing and financing activities resulted in net cash provided of $78.3 million during the first three months of 2026 primarily due to $195.0 million of proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt, net of $57.2 million of capital expenditures, $28.7 million of dividend payments, and $16.2 million of share repurchases.
2026 Outlook
“As we enter the core retail selling season in the U.S., we are encouraged by the stable market conditions and by the strength of our first quarter performance,” said David Foulkes. “We believe steady dealer and customer sentiment, exceptionally healthy and lean pipelines, disciplined wholesale‑to‑retail alignment, and sustained boating participation are sources of confidence as we move through the remainder of 2026.
While direct sales and operational impacts remain limited, heightened geopolitical volatility has introduced new uncertainties. Rate cuts enacted late in 2025 are supporting improved retail and floorplan financing as we enter the peak selling season with recent rate volatility having no clear impact on demand. While expectations for incremental rate relief have moderated, our forecast does not rely on additional cuts. Fuel prices have risen recently due to geopolitical events but generally remain within historical bounds and we are not experiencing any meaningful impact on retail or OEM demand or on boating participation, which remains strong.
The tariff environment remains dynamic. During the quarter, IEEPA tariffs were repealed and replaced with Section 122. More recently, Section 232 tariff applications were amended. Based on current regulations, we believe that our full-year incremental net tariff impact will ultimately land near the lower end of our original $35 to $45 million estimate shared at the beginning of the year. Potential refunds related to previously paid IEEPA tariffs are not yet factored into our outlook.
Our operating priorities remain clear. We are focused on closely aligning production and wholesale with retail demand, driving continued market share gains, maintaining disciplined cost control, and investing in product innovation, technology, and system‑level integration across our portfolio. Recurring‑revenue and aftermarket businesses remain a key strength, supported by sustained boater participation, and are expected to continue to provide consistent earnings and cash generation,” said Foulkes.
“Using our best estimates related to these items and all other business impacts, the following is our updated full-year guidance:
1.Net sales: $5.65 billion to $5.8 billion;
2.Adjusted operating margin: 7.5 percent to 8.0 percent;
3.Adjusted diluted EPS: $4.00 to $4.50;
4.Free cash flow: $350 million or more; and
5.Second quarter 2026 revenue of $1.45 billion to $1.55 billion, and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.10 to $1.20.
This outlook reflects our confidence in expected continued share gains, broad-based revenue growth, and strong operating leverage in a flat-to-slightly-improving market environment.
Finally, I hope that you will join us on Tuesday, August 11th at our Mercury Marine headquarters in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin for Brunswick’s 2026 Investor Day. We will host a live Q&A with Brunswick leadership, tour our Mercury Marine facilities and offer opportunities to experience our products on the water. In advance of the event, a pre-recorded video strategy presentation will be published to our website," Foulkes concluded.
