Item 7.01.                  Regulation FD Disclosure

As previously disclosed, the Board of Directors of Brunswick Corporation (the "Company") has authorized the Company to end the sale process for its Sea Ray businesses. The Company’s historical financial statements will be restated in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2018 ("2018 Q2 Form 10-Q") to reflect Sea Ray as continuing operations given the Company's recent announcement and intention to retain the Sea Ray business. As part of the transformation of Sea Ray, the Company will discontinue sport yacht and yacht models and wind down yacht production.

In advance of the Company filing its 2018 Q2 Form 10-Q, this Form 8-K provides both GAAP and As Adjusted restated historical Net sales and Operating earnings (loss) for continuing operations for the three months and year-to-date periods ended during each quarterly period for 2017 and the first quarter of 2018. The Sea Ray sport yacht and yacht operations are excluded from the Company's As Adjusted operating results for all periods, along with other non-recurring charges. These changes will be reflected in the earnings release for the second quarter of 2018 scheduled to be released on July 26, 2018, and the management discussion and analysis and condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes in the 2018 Q2 Form 10-Q to be issued for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. This Form 8-K also reflects the adoption of the Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost. As a result, pension benefit costs were reclassified from Gross margin and Operating earnings to non-operating income (expense) for all periods presented.

In this Form 8-K, 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 Form 8-K 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.
