Brunswick Corporation's Q2 2025 earnings call highlighted strong cash flow generation and growth in the Propulsion business, alongside positive retail momentum in July. However, challenges remain with declines in Boat and Navico Group sales, as well as ongoing tariff impacts. The sentiment reflects a cautious optimism with strong operational execution but market-driven challenges persist.

Q3 2025

During Brunswick Corporation's second quarter 2025 earnings call, the company reported robust financial performance, with sales reaching $1.4 billion and earnings per share of $1.16, both surpassing the top end of their guidance. Despite challenges such as tariffs and uncooperative weather, Brunswick achieved a record $288 million in free cash flow for the quarter, contributing to a first-half free cash flow of $244 million, a $279 million improvement from the prior year. The Propulsion business saw strong year-over-year sales growth, and Mercury gained over 300 basis points of U.S. retail share in outboard engines over 300 horsepower. Meanwhile, Brunswick's Boat business introduced 30 new models year-to-date, contributing to overall market share gains. The company continues to manage its tariff exposure effectively, anticipating a significant positive cash flow impact from positive policy changes and maintaining a healthy balance sheet with no debt maturities until 2029.

Positive Retail Momentum

July retail for Brunswick businesses accelerated and is trending positively versus July 2024, giving positive momentum for the second half of the year.
