- **Share Repurchases**: $80M+ minimum in 2025, $10M executed in January at $70 share price.


**【CEO Summary Section】**
- Brunswick Corporation ended 2024 with strong cash generation, achieving $278 million in Q4 free cash flow, a record for any fourth quarter. Full year free cash flow conversion was 92%, above the annual target of 80%.
- The company gained 110 basis points of U.S. outboard engine market share in 2024, with Mercury Marine outperforming the industry. U.S. new boat retail sales declined high single digits, but Brunswick performed slightly better in premium segments.
- Key initiatives included cost containment, working capital optimization, and $200 million in share repurchases. The 2025 adjusted EPS guidance is $3.50 to $5, reflecting headwinds from tariffs ($35M annualized) and foreign exchange rates, offset by cost savings ($1.25 per share) and volume growth in the back half of the year.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- Q4 2024 net sales decreased 15% year-over-year to $1.1 billion, with adjusted EPS of $0.24. Full year adjusted EPS was $4.57, down 48% from 2023, due to lower net sales and production levels.
- Propulsion business sales declined 24% as production was reduced to manage inventory. Engine parts and accessories business showed full year growth in operating earnings, driven by operational efficiencies from the Brownsburg, Indiana distribution center.
- Navico Group sales were flat in Q4, with aftermarket performance offsetting weak marine OEM demand. Boat business sales decreased 18% due to lower production and selective discounting.
- Full year free cash flow was $350 million, with $170 million generated in the second half. 2025 free cash flow is expected to exceed $350 million, supported by working capital improvements and reduced inventory levels.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Cost Savings**: $1.25 per share of cost savings in 2025 will come from staff reductions (20% hourly, 7% salaried in 2024), production line optimization, and supply chain cost reductions. About 50% of savings are already realized, with the rest from 2025 initiatives.
- **Tariff Impact**: 2025 tariff headwind is $30-40 million, primarily from China 301 tariffs. Mitigation strategies include inventory staging and pricing adjustments.
- **Market Outlook**: U.S. boat retail is expected flat to 2024, but share gains (Mercury +7% at Dusseldorf Show) and new product launches (e.g., Navico's Lowrance Elite FS) could drive growth. Europe weeks on hand are 41 weeks, higher than U.S. due to logistics complexity.
- **Share Repurchases**: $80 million minimum in 2025, with potential for higher activity if cash generation exceeds expectations. January 2025 repurchases of $10 million reflect confidence in long-term value.
