Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
 
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Parts and Accessories (P&A) and Boat (inclusive of Business Acceleration) to align with its strategy. As a result of this change, the Company has recast all segment information for all prior periods presented. Refer to Note 11 – Segment Data for further information on the Company's reportable segments.

Interim Financial Statements. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) have been prepared pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. Therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brunswick’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the 2019 Form 10-K). These results include, in management's opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly Brunswick's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Due to the seasonality of Brunswick’s businesses, the interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year.

The Company maintains its financial records on the basis of a fiscal year ending on December 31, with the fiscal quarters spanning approximately thirteen weeks. The first quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the first thirteen-week period. The second and third quarters are thirteen weeks in duration and the fourth quarter is the remainder of the year. The third quarter of fiscal year 2020 ended on September 26, 2020 and the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 ended on September 28, 2019.

On June 27, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Fitness business. The Company determined that the sale of its Fitness business represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Refer to Note 3 – Discontinued Operations for further information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Current Expected Credit Loss: In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which updated the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) to add an impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted this standard and the adoption did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 – Acquisitions

2019 Acquisitions

On May 21, 2019, the Company acquired 100 percent of Freedom Boat Club, a leading boat club operator based in Florida. The acquisition expands the Company's presence and scale within the emerging and fast-growing boat club market, providing its members access to a fleet of boats. Freedom Boat Club is included as part of the Company's Boat segment.

The net cash consideration the Company paid to acquire Freedom Boat Club was $64.1 million. The final opening balance sheet included $29.2 million of identifiable intangible assets, including customer relationships, franchise agreements and trade names for $11.1 million, $4.9 million and $13.2 million, respectively, along with $27.3 million of goodwill, most of which is deductible for tax purposes. Included in the goodwill amount is $0.9 million of purchase accounting adjustments, primarily related to deferred taxes recorded in the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The amount assigned to Freedom Boat Club's customer relationships and franchise agreements will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately 10 years and 15 years, respectively. Refer to Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2019 Form 10-K for further information.

Note 6 – Financial Instruments

The Company operates globally with manufacturing and sales facilities around the world. Due to the Company’s global operations, the Company engages in activities involving both financial and market risks. The Company uses normal operating and financing activities, along with derivative financial instruments, to minimize these risks. Refer to Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2019 Form 10-K for further details regarding the Company's financial instruments and hedging policies.

Commodity Price. The Company uses commodity swaps to hedge anticipated purchases of aluminum. As of September 26, 2020, the notional value of commodity swap contracts outstanding was $5.2 million, with the contracts maturing through 2021. The Company had no outstanding commodity swap contracts at December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019. The amount of

gain or loss associated with the change in fair value of these instruments is deferred in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in Cost of sales in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of September 26, 2020, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months it will reclassify nominal net losses (based on current prices) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.

Foreign Currency Derivatives. Forward exchange contracts outstanding at September 26, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019 had notional contract values of $293.3 million, $332.5 million and $309.8 million, respectively. The notional contract values of option contracts outstanding totaled $10.4 million at September 26, 2020 and $17.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019, respectively. The forward contracts outstanding at September 26, 2020 mature through 2022 and mainly relate to the Euro, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar and Japanese yen. As of September 26, 2020, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify approximately $1.5 million of net losses (based on current rates) from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Cost of sales.

Interest Rate Derivatives. The Company previously entered into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to convert a portion of its long-term debt from fixed to floating rate debt. In the second half of 2019, the Company settled its fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps, resulting in a net deferred gain of $2.5 million included within Debt. The Company will reclassify $0.7 million of net deferred gains from Debt to Interest expense during the next 12 months. As a result of the settlement, there are no outstanding interest rate swaps as of September 26, 2020 or December 31, 2019. As of September 28, 2019, the outstanding swaps had a total notional contract value of $50.0 million corresponding to the Company's 7.375 percent Debentures due 2023. These instruments have been designated as fair value hedges, with the fair value recorded in long-term debt.

As of September 26, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019, the Company had $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of net deferred losses associated with all settled forward-starting interest rate swaps, which were designated as cash flow hedges with gains and losses included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of September 26, 2020, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, it will reclassify $0.6 million net losses resulting from settled forward-starting interest rate swaps from Accumulated other comprehensive loss to Interest expense.

As of September 26, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019, the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments were:

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments. The carrying values of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts and notes receivable, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. At September 26, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including short-term debt and current maturities, was approximately $1,192.4 million, $1,214.6 million and $1,233.9 million, respectively, and was determined using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs described in Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2019 Form 10-K. The carrying value of long-term debt, including short-term debt and current maturities, was $1,082.9 million, $1,131.6 million and $1,151.8 million as of September 26, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019, respectively.

Note 8 – Share-Based Compensation

Under the Brunswick Corporation 2014 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company may grant stock appreciation rights (SARs), non-vested stock units and awards and performance awards to executives, other employees and non-employee directors from treasury shares and from authorized, but unissued, shares of common stock initially available for grant, in addition to: (i) the forfeiture of past stock units and awards; (ii) shares not issued upon the net settlement of SARs; or (iii) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the withholding taxes related to stock units and awards. As of September 26, 2020, 4.9 million shares remained available for grant.

Share grant amounts, fair values, and fair value assumptions reflect all outstanding stock units and awards for both continuing and discontinued operations.

Non-Vested Stock Units

The Company grants both stock-settled and cash-settled non-vested stock units to key employees as determined by management and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Company granted nominal stock units during the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019. The Company granted 0.3 million and 0.4 million of stock units during the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively. The Company recognizes the cost of non-vested stock units on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period. Additionally, cash-settled non-vested stock units are recorded as a liability on the balance sheet and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through stock compensation expense. During the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, the Company charged $3.0 million and $9.4 million, respectively, and charged $3.5 million and $7.2 million during the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively to compensation expense for non-vested stock units.

As of September 26, 2020, there was $13.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.

Performance Awards

In both February of 2020 and 2019, the Company granted 0.1 million performance shares to certain senior executives. Performance share awards are based on three performance measures: a cash flow return on investment (CFROI) measure, an operating margin (OM) measure and a total shareholder return (TSR) modifier. Performance shares are earned based on a three-
19

Table of Contents
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
year performance period commencing at the beginning of the calendar year of each grant. The performance shares earned are then subject to a TSR modifier based on the Company's stock returns measured against stock returns of a predefined comparator group over a three-year performance period. Additionally, in February 2020 and 2019, the Company granted 26,750 and 24,605 performance shares, respectively, to certain officers and certain senior managers based on the respective measures and performance periods described above but excluding the TSR modifier. During the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, the Company recognized a charge of $7.8 million and $10.2 million, respectively, and charged $1.7 million and $5.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively, to compensation expense based on projections of probable attainment of the performance measures and the projected TSR modifier used to determine the performance awards.

The fair values of the senior executives' performance share award grants with a TSR modifier for grants in 2020 and 2019 were $64.72 and $49.64, respectively, which were estimated using the Monte Carlo valuation model, and incorporated the following assumptions:
20202019
Risk-free interest rate1.4 %2.9 %
Dividend yield1.5 %1.7 %
Volatility factor46.6 %41.0 %
Expected life of award2.9 years2.9 years

The fair value of certain officers' and certain senior managers' performance awards granted based solely on the CFROI and OM performance factors was $61.91 and $47.61 in 2020 and 2019, respectively, which was equal to the stock price on the date of grant in 2020 and 2019, respectively, less the present value of expected dividend payments over the vesting period.

As of September 26, 2020, the Company had $6.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance awards. The Company expects this cost to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.

Director Awards

The Company issues stock awards to non-employee directors in accordance with the terms and conditions determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. A portion of each director’s annual fee is paid in Brunswick common stock, the receipt of which may be deferred until a director retires from the Board of Directors. Each director may elect to have the remaining portion paid in cash, in Brunswick common stock distributed at the time of the award, or in deferred Brunswick common stock with a 20 percent premium.

The Company tests its intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each year, or whenever a significant change in events and circumstances (triggering event) occurs that indicates the fair value of intangible assets may be below their carrying values. The Company determined the COVID-19 pandemic was a triggering event and, as a result, performed an interim impairment test of certain intangible assets as of March 28, 2020. The Company considered both quantitative and
22

Table of Contents

qualitative factors in its analysis and determined the fair values of its intangible assets were not “more-likely-than-not” lower than their carrying values. As such, the Company did not record an impairment charge during the three months ended March 28, 2020.

As business performance and marine demand exceeded expectations during the third quarter of 2020, and no further triggering events were identified, the Company did not perform an additional interim impairment test.

Note 11 – Segment Data

Change in Reportable Segments

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Parts and Accessories and Boat (inclusive of Business Acceleration) to align with its strategy.
Concurrent with this change, the Company has changed its measurement of segment profit and loss due to a decision to streamline internal and external reporting practices relating to marine engines sold from the Propulsion segment to the Boat segment. This change in presentation, which is not the result of a change in business practice, more closely follows current market dynamics, and provides improved comparability with other boat companies.

Reportable Segments

The Company's segments are defined by management's reporting structure and operating activities. The Company's reportable segments are the following:
Propulsion. The Propulsion segment manufactures and markets a full range of outboard, sterndrive, and inboard engines, as well as propulsion-related controls, propellers, and rigging parts and accessories. These products are principally sold directly to boat builders, including Brunswick’s Boat segment, and through marine retail dealers worldwide. The Propulsion segment primarily markets under the Mercury, Mercury MerCruiser, Mariner, Mercury Racing, and Mercury Diesel brands. The segment's engine manufacturing plants are located mainly in the United States and China, along with a joint venture in Japan, with sales mainly to markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Parts and Accessories. The Parts and Accessories (P&A) segment consists of the Engine Parts and Accessories and the Advanced Systems Group operating segments, which are aggregated and presented as a single reportable segment.
The P&A segment manufactures, markets, and supplies parts and accessories for both marine and non-marine markets. These products are designed for and sold mostly to aftermarket retailers, distributors, and distribution businesses, as well as original equipment manufacturers (including Brunswick brands).

The Company evaluates performance based on segment operating earnings. Segment operating earnings do not include the expenses of corporate administration, pension costs and pension settlement charges, impairments or gains on the sale of equity investments, earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, other expenses and income of a non-operating nature, transaction financing charges, interest expense, and income or provisions or benefits for income taxes.

Corporate/Other results include items such as corporate staff and administrative costs, investments in technology solutions, business development and other growth-related expenses, including IT enhancements. Corporate/Other total assets consist of mainly cash, cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities, restricted cash, income tax balances and investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Segment eliminations adjust for sales between the Company's reportable segments and primarily relate to the sale of engines and parts and accessories to various boat brands, which are consummated at established arm’s length transfer prices as the intersegment pricing for these engines and parts and accessories are based upon and consistent with selling prices to third party customers.

(A) In the third quarter of 2019, the Company fully exited its qualified defined benefit pension plans and as a result, recorded a pre-tax settlement charge of $294.1 million. The income tax impact of the settlement action was a net provision of $17.2 million, consisting of an income tax benefit of $74.2 million associated with the pension settlement charge netted against an income tax charge of $91.4 million resulting from the release of disproportionate tax effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

Refer to Note 14 – Postretirement Benefits and Note 13 – Income Taxes in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the pension settlement and related income tax consequences, respectively.

Note 13 – Income Taxes

The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020 of $38.9 million and $74.9 million, respectively, which included a net benefit of $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These net benefits primarily related to a change in unrecognized tax benefits and changes in the valuation allowance. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 of $43.3 million and $93.8 million, respectively. The income tax provision for both periods included a $17.2 million net provision related to the settlement of the Company's qualified defined benefit plans in the third quarter of 2019. The tax impact of this action consisted of a tax benefit of $74.2 million from the pension settlement, which was netted against a tax charge of $91.4 million resulting from the release of disproportionate tax effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, for the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, was 22.1 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 was not meaningful as a result of the tax impacts resulting from the pension settlement activity that occurred in 2019.

No deferred income taxes have been provided as of September 26, 2020, December 31, 2019 or September 28, 2019 on the applicable undistributed earnings of the non-U.S. subsidiaries where the indefinite reinvestment assertion has been applied. If, at some future date these earnings cease to be indefinitely reinvested and are repatriated, the Company may be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on such amounts. The Company continues to provide deferred taxes, as required, on the undistributed net earnings of foreign subsidiaries and unconsolidated affiliates that are not deemed to be indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the United States.

As of September 26, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019, the Company had $4.1 million, $3.9 million and $3.5 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, respectively. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of September 26, 2020 could decrease by approximately $0.7 million in the next 12 months due to settlements with taxing authorities or lapses in the applicable statute of limitations. Due to the various jurisdictions in which the Company files tax returns and the uncertainty regarding the timing of the settlement of tax audits, it is possible that there could be significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in 2020, but the amount cannot be estimated at this time.

The Company is regularly audited by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has completed its field examination and has issued its Revenue Agents Report through the 2014 tax year and all open issues have been resolved. The Company is currently open to tax examinations by the IRS for the 2017 through 2018 tax years. Primarily as a result of filing amended returns, which were generated by the closing of federal income tax audits, the Company is still open to state and local tax audits in major tax jurisdictions dating back to the 2014 taxable year. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by any major foreign tax jurisdiction for years prior to 2013.

Note 14 – Postretirement Benefits

The Company has defined contribution plans, nonqualified defined benefit pension plans, and other postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all of its employees. The Company's contributions to its defined contribution plans include matching and annual discretionary contributions which are based on various percentages of compensation, and in some instances are based on the amount of the employees' contributions to the plans. Refer to Note 17 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2019 Form 10-K for further details regarding these plans.

Pension Settlement. During 2019, total settlement payments of $672.9 million were made from the Brunswick Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (Salaried Plan) and the Brunswick Pension Plan for Hourly Bargaining Unit Employees (Bargaining Plan), consisting of lump-sum pension distributions of $77.1 million and the purchase of group annuity contracts totaling $595.8 million to cover future benefit payments. The annuity contracts unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the full payment of all future annuity payments to the affected participants. The insurance company assumed all risk associated with the assets and obligations that were transferred. The Company recognized a pretax settlement loss of $294.1 million in the third quarter of 2019, related to these actions. During 2020, the Company recorded a $0.2 million charge and $1.1 million benefit in the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively, associated with a final settlement true-up.

Note 15 – Debt

In August 2020, the Company made principal repayments totaling $38.8 million of its 2023 floating rate term loan. The term loan was redeemed at 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued interest, in accordance with the redemption provisions of the term loan.

In July 2019, the Company called $150.0 million of its 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021. The Notes were retired in August 2019 at par plus accrued interest, in accordance with the call provisions of the notes, and the associated interest rate swaps have been terminated. Refer to Note 6 – Financial Instruments for further information on the terminated interest rate swaps.

In March 2019, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount of $230.0 million of its 6.375% Senior Notes (6.375% Notes) due April 2049 in a public offering, which resulted in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $222.0 million. Net proceeds from the offering of the 6.375% Notes were used to prepay all of the $150.0 million, 3-year tranche loan due 2021 and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 6.375% Notes is due quarterly, commencing on April 15, 2019. The Company may, at its option, redeem the 6.375% Notes on or after April 15, 2024, either in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Additionally, in the event of a change in control, the Company may be required to repurchase some or all of its 6.375% Notes at a price equal to 101 percent of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The 6.375% Notes are unsecured and do not contain subsidiary guarantees.

The Company maintains an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Facility) providing for $400.0 million of borrowing capacity in effect through September 2024. The Credit Facility includes provisions to add up to $100.0 million of additional borrowing capacity and extend the facility for an additional one-year term, subject to lender approval. On March 23, 2020, the Company delivered a borrowing request to the administrative agent for the Credit Facility to increase the Company’s borrowings to $385.0 million, which was substantially all of the amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit. The Company borrowed the amount described above under the Credit Facility as a precautionary action in order to increase its cash position and to enhance its liquidity and financial flexibility in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Brunswick Corporation (Brunswick or the Company) are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about Brunswick’s business and by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Actual results may differ materially from expectations and projections as of the date of this filing due to various risks and uncertainties. For additional information regarding forward-looking statements, refer to Forward-Looking Statements below.

Certain statements in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis are based on non-GAAP financial measures. GAAP refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. For example, the discussion of the Company’s cash flows includes an analysis of free cash flows and total liquidity; the discussion of the Company's net sales includes a discussion of net sales on a constant currency basis; the discussion of the Company's earnings includes a presentation of operating earnings and operating margin excluding restructuring, exit and impairment charges, purchase accounting amortization, acquisition-related costs and other applicable charges; and diluted earnings per common share, as adjusted. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is 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 consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets or statements of cash flows of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Non-GAAP financial measures do not include operating and statistical measures.

The Company includes non-GAAP financial measures in Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as management believes that these measures and the information they provide are useful to investors because they permit investors to view the Company's performance using the same tools that management uses to better evaluate the Company’s ongoing business performance. 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-GAAP measures exclude the impact of purchase accounting amortization related to the Power Products and Freedom Boat Club acquisitions.

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.

Impact of COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that infections of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) had become a world-wide pandemic. National, state and local authorities have enforced social distancing and imposed quarantine and isolation measures on large portions of the population, including mandatory business closures. These measures have had and continue to have serious adverse impacts on domestic and foreign economies of uncertain severity and duration.

On March 23, 2020, the Company temporarily suspended manufacturing operations at most engine and boat production facilities to ensure the health and safety of affected employees and to balance inventory levels with anticipated reductions in near-term demand. On April 13, 2020, the Company resumed partial operations and limited production activities in certain manufacturing facilities and, in the ensuing weeks, continued to open additional manufacturing facilities.

The Company's distribution business operated throughout the pandemic and the dealer network continued to sell products, enabling boaters to get out on the water. Approximately half of the dealer network was closed in some capacity in April, but the network was fully operational by mid-May. The pandemic also affected Freedom Boat Club, as many of its locations were closed in April due to local stay-at-home restrictions, particularly in Florida. However, once doors reopened, several locations had their busiest weekends in history with strong membership increases across the network.

As of November 4, 2020, all global manufacturing and distribution facilities are online with a continued focus on rigorously applying, evolving and automating COVID-19 mitigation procedures, while continuing to ramp-up global production to meet unprecedented market demand. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 and may take further actions that alter business operations as may be required by government authorities, or that are determined to be in the best interest of the Company's employees, customers, dealers, suppliers and stakeholders. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business, operations and financial results will depend on evolving factors that the Company cannot accurately predict. Refer to Part II. Item 1A. Risk Factors for further information.

Change in Reportable Segments

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company changed its management reporting and updated its reportable segments to Propulsion, Parts and Accessories and Boat (inclusive of Business Acceleration) to align with its strategy. Refer to Note 11 – Segment Data in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The tax provisions include changes to the net operating loss rules, a temporary increase to the limitation on deductible business interest expense, and accelerated depreciation on qualified improvement property. In addition, the CARES Act has provisions designed to encourage eligible employers to keep employees on payroll, despite experiencing economic hardship related to COVID-19, with an employee retention tax credit (Employee Retention Credit). At this time, the Company does not expect the CARES Act to have a material impact on its results of operations.

Under the CARES Act, the Company deferred approximately $4 million of U.S. income tax payments from the first and second quarters to the third quarter of 2020 and approximately $2.7 million of non-U.S. tax payments from the first, second and third quarters of 2020 to the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021. The Company expects to defer the payment of approximately $18 million to $20 million of payroll taxes normally due between March 27, 2020 and December 31, 2020. These payroll taxes will be paid in two equal installments in the fourth quarters of 2021 and 2022.

The Employee Retention Credit is a payroll tax credit against certain employment taxes equal to 50 percent of the qualified wages and healthcare costs an eligible employer incurs after March 12, 2020, and before January 1, 2021. The Company calculated a preliminary employee retention credit of $6.5 million across all segments, of which $0.3 million and $6.5 million was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively. These costs were recognized in Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense.

Discontinued Operations

On June 27, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Fitness business. This business, which was previously reported as the Company's Fitness segment, is being reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The Company's results for all periods presented, as discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis, are presented on a continuing operations basis, unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 3 – Discontinued Operations in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for further information.

Overview and Outlook

Overview

Each of the Company's businesses delivered outstanding operating results in the third quarter. The Company's ability to capitalize on robust retail demand, which was enhanced by expanded boating participation, and its compelling portfolio of industry-leading brands, drove excellent financial performance. Net sales increased 26.3 percent during the third quarter of 2020 when compared with the third quarter of 2019. The power of the Company's marine platform and its investments in operational excellence were on full display as the Company accelerated production levels to both meet retail demand, which continues to be elevated even as it exits the primary selling season in the U.S., and began the process of replenishing historically-low pipeline inventory levels. The strong free cash flow generation provides the Company with the flexibility to execute its capital strategy which encompasses planned investments in growth initiatives, including developing new products, advancing its autonomy, connectivity, electrification and shared access (ACES) strategy, and maximizing the reach of Freedom Boat Club.

The Propulsion segment continued to gain appreciable retail market share, particularly in higher-horsepower categories, as a direct result of product leadership efforts, and has yielded and continues to yield many new original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers and dealer relationships. The Parts and Accessories (P&A) segment delivered significant top-line and earnings growth as increased boating participation and favorable weather, which has extended the boating season in the U.S., drove strong aftermarket sales, while OEM production ramp-ups across the industry also created high demand of OEM systems and services. The Boat segment sales increased during the quarter with top-line, earnings and margin improvements across the line-up. The Company's premium brands remained market leaders in their categories and its value brands offered attractive entry points to new and returning former boaters. The surge in retail demand has resulted in historically-low pipeline inventory levels, with only 14 weeks of inventory on hand or 48 percent fewer boats in dealer inventory at the end of the third quarter of

2020 versus the end of the third quarter of 2019. As a result, most brands have all production slots sold through the 2021 model year. Finally, Freedom Boat Club continues to outperform expectations, as evidenced by its growth to 244 locations and almost 36,500 memberships company-wide, with over 3,000 new memberships added in the third quarter of 2020.

Net sales were relatively consistent during the first nine months of 2020 when compared with the first nine months of 2019. International net sales for the Company increased 3 percent and 5 percent in the first nine months of 2020 on a GAAP and constant currency basis, respectively.

Outlook

While the Company remains very cognizant of macroeconomic headwinds and other uncertainties, its continued strong performance in a robust marine retail environment has created improved visibility into substantial growth opportunities for the remainder of 2020 and 2021. Despite the potential impact of the pandemic on the Company's global labor availability and supply chain, elevated production levels over time will be required to rebuild boat and engine pipelines, and together with significant upcoming new product offerings, are anticipated to drive wholesale growth through 2021 and beyond.

The progression of the pandemic remains very dynamic, and the resulting impact on the Company's dealers, OEM partners, suppliers, and the macro-economy is difficult to fully predict. Given improved clarity on wholesale boat growth, Mercury's continued propulsion strength, and favorable boating trends which are creating the parts and accessories growth needed to satisfy sales and service needs, the Company anticipates that U.S. marine industry retail unit demand will be up high-single digit percent for the year, with slightly stronger demand in the U.S. than international regions. The Company also expects fourth quarter net sales to increase low-to-mid-teens percent over the fourth quarter of 2019 with adjusted operating leverage of high-teens percent. The Company believes that these inputs will drive a full-year adjusted diluted EPS of approximately $4.75, with free cash flow generation in excess of $600 million. These 2020 expectations assume no major additional pandemic-related business continuity issues.

    For the Propulsion segment, the Company will continue to leverage the strongest product lineup in the industry to gain market share in historically under-represented parts of the market. The further growth into saltwater, repower and international commercial markets is being enabled by manufacturing capacity added in 2018 and 2019, and will be bolstered by exciting new product launches in the coming months. Finally, with lower engine inventory levels across the globe, the Company continues to increase production in an efficient manner to refill the pipeline.

    For the Parts and Accessories segment, the Company anticipates steady demand for aftermarket parts and accessories as boaters complete their end-of-season servicing in northern markets. The Company also expects demand to remain high for OEM product lines and integration services as boat builders continue to ramp-up production to replenish pipelines ahead of the 2021 retail season.

    For the Boat segment, the Company will continue to focus on launching new products across the portfolio, including some new products designed for younger boaters, ramping up production to meet demand and refill pipelines, and returning to its stated plan to further improve operating margins. Freedom Boat Club continues to expand and execute against its strategic growth objectives. The Company has added over 30 locations thus far in 2020, with franchisee demand for Brunswick products pacing well ahead of anticipated levels.

Matters Affecting Comparability

The Company believes certain events have affected the comparability of the results of operations. The table below summarizes the impact of changes in currency exchange rates and recent acquisitions on the Company's net sales:

Acquisitions.  The Company completed the acquisition of Freedom Boat Club in 2019, which affected the comparability of net sales. The impact on consolidated and segment sales comparisons are reflected above. Refer to Note 5 – Acquisitions in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Changes in Foreign Currency Rates. Percentage changes in net sales expressed in constant currency reflect the impact that changes in currency exchange rates had on comparisons of net sales. To determine this information, net sales transacted in currencies other than U.S. dollars have been translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates that were in effect during the comparative period. The percentage change in net sales expressed on a constant currency basis better reflects the changes in the underlying business trends, excluding the impact of translation arising from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Approximately 23 percent of the Company's annual net sales are transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The Company's most material exposures include sales in Euros, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars and Chinese yuan.

Additionally, operating earnings were nominally affected by foreign exchange rates in the third quarter of 2020 and negatively affected by approximately $13.0 million in the first nine months of 2020 when compared with the same periods in 2019. These estimates include the impact of translation on all sales and costs transacted in a currency other than the U.S. dollar and the impact of hedging activities.

Acquisition and IT related costs. In connection with the Freedom Boat Club acquisition that occurred in the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $0.4 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020; and $0.5 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively, of acquisition costs in Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) within the Boat segment, .

In addition, the Company recorded $0.6 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020; and $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively, of IT transformation costs in SG&A within Corporate/Other resulting from the Fitness separation.

Restructuring, exit and impairment charges. The Company recorded restructuring, exit, and impairment charges of $1.8 million and $7.4 million during the three months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively, and charges of $4.3 million and $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2020 and September 28, 2019, respectively. Refer to Note 4 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Pension settlement charges. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company fully exited its remaining defined benefit pension plans and as a result, recorded a $0.2 million charge and $1.1 million benefit in the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively, associated with a final settlement true-up. In the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, the Company recorded $294.1 million of charges related to these pension settlement actions. Refer to Note 14 – Postretirement Benefits in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Tax items. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020 of $38.9 million and $74.9 million, respectively, which included a net benefit of $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These net benefits primarily related to a change in unrecognized tax benefits and changes in the valuation allowance. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 of $43.3 million and $93.8 million, respectively. The income tax provision for both periods included a $17.2 million net provision related to the settlement of the Company's qualified defined benefit plans in the third quarter of 2019. The tax impact of this action consisted of a tax benefit of $74.2 million from the pension settlement charge, which was netted against a tax charge of $91.4 million resulting from the release of disproportionate tax effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, for the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, was 22.1 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 was not meaningful as a result of the tax impacts resulting from the pension settlement activity that occurred in 2019.

Net sales increased 26.3 percent during the third quarter and decreased 0.1 percent for the first nine months of 2020 when compared to the same prior year periods. Refer to the discussion of the Propulsion, Parts and Accessories, and Boat segments for further details on the drivers of net sales changes.

Gross margin percentage increased 220 basis points in the third quarter of 2020, when compared with the same prior year period, reflecting impacts of higher sales across all segments. Gross margin percentage decreased 20 basis points in the first nine months of 2020 when compared with the same prior year period, reflecting the impacts of production suspensions and stay-at-home restrictions earlier in the year, which were partially offset by benefits from cost reduction activities.

Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) increased during the third quarter and was relatively consistent for the first nine months of 2020 when compared with the same prior year period. SG&A includes purchase accounting amortization, acquisition and IT transformation-related costs, and impacts of Sport Yacht & Yachts operations, as applicable. Excluding these items, SG&A as a percentage of sales was consistent in the third quarter of 2020 compared with the same prior year period. Research and development expense increased during the third quarter compared to the same prior year period. Research and development expense decreased for the first nine months 2020 compared to the same prior year period, but remained consistent as a percentage of Net Sales.

The Company recorded restructuring, exit and impairment charges of $1.8 million and $4.3 million during the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively, and recorded $7.4 million and $16.0 million during the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively. Refer to Note 4 – Restructuring, Exit and Impairment Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The Company recorded Equity earnings of $0.6 million and $3.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively, which were mainly related to the Company's marine and technology-related joint ventures. This compares with Equity earnings of $1.9 million and $5.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company fully exited its remaining defined benefit pension plans and as a result, recorded a $0.2 million charge and $1.1 million benefit in the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively, associated with a final settlement true-up. In the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, the Company recorded $294.1 million of charges related to these pension settlement actions. Refer to Note 14 – Postretirement Benefits in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The Company recognized $(1.2) million and $(2.7) million in Other expense, net in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020, respectively. This compares with $0.1 million and $(1.6) million recognized in Other income (expense), net in the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019, respectively. Other income (expense), net primarily includes other postretirement benefit costs and remeasurement gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign currency rates.

Net interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 when compared with the same prior year period due to a reduction in average daily debt outstanding. Refer to Note 15 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2019 Form 10-K.

The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020 of $38.9 million and $74.9 million, respectively, which included a net benefit of $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These net benefits primarily related to a change in unrecognized tax benefits and changes in the valuation allowance. The Company recognized an income tax provision for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 of $43.3 million and $93.8 million, respectively. The income tax provision for both periods included a $17.2 million net provision related to the settlement of the Company's qualified defined benefit plans in the third quarter of 2019. The tax impact of this action consisted of a tax benefit of $74.2 million from the pension settlement charge, which was netted against a tax charge of $91.4 million resulting from the release of disproportionate tax effects in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

The effective tax rate, which is calculated as the income tax provision as a percentage of earnings before income taxes, for the three months and nine months ended September 26, 2020, was 22.1 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended September 28, 2019 was not meaningful as a result of the tax impacts resulting from the pension settlement activity that occurred in 2019.

Due to the factors described in the preceding paragraphs, operating earnings, net earnings from continuing operations and diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations increased during the third quarter and first nine months of 2020 when compared with the same prior year period.

The Propulsion segment net sales increased $129.6 million, or 32.7 percent, in the third quarter versus 2019. The increase was driven by strong demand, especially in the higher horsepower outboard engine categories and related controls and systems as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers continued to ramp up production in the quarter, and increased capacity enabled elevated sales to dealer and international channels as well as significant U.S. and international retail market share gains.

The Propulsion segment net sales increased $59.7 million, or 4.6 percent in the first nine months of 2020 versus prior year as a result of the same factors described above, partially offset by production disruptions at Mercury and its OEM engine customers earlier in the year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

International sales were 33 percent of the Propulsion segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2020. International sales increased 39 percent on a GAAP basis and 40 percent on a constant currency basis, respectively, in the third quarter of 2020, from prior year. For the first nine months of 2020, international sales increased 20 percent on a GAAP basis and 23 percent on a constant currency basis from prior year, primarily due to increases in Asia-Pacific particularly in higher horsepower engines used for commercial purposes.

The Propulsion segment operating earnings for the quarter were $94.1 million, an increase of 61.7 percent, as a result of increased sales and favorable sales mix, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of higher variable compensation costs. Operating earnings for the first nine months of 2020 were $203.1 million, an increase of 7.4 percent as a result of the same

The P&A segment net sales increased $86.9 million, or 23.3 percent in the third quarter of 2020 versus 2019, due to strong sales growth across all product categories. Third quarter results were bolstered by healthy boat usage as favorable weather continued into the Fall for many regions of the U.S. The distribution business, which saw over 30 percent growth versus 2019, was able to capitalize on the increased participation and extended season in both the marine and RV spaces. The engine P&A business had a strong quarter supplying products to dealers to support increased service needs. Lastly, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) portion of the P&A business also had a strong quarter, as boat manufacturers ramped-up production to satisfy demand and rebuild pipelines.

The P&A segment net sales increased $51.4 million, or 4.7 percent, in the first nine months of 2020 versus prior year as a result of the same factors described above, partially offset by stay-at-home restrictions resulting from the pandemic, which disrupted dealer, retail, and OEM operations in many locations earlier in the year.

International sales were 27 percent of the P&A segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2020. International sales increased 17 percent and 15 percent on a GAAP and constant currency basis, respectively, primarily due to increases in Asia-Pacific and Rest-of-World. For the first nine months of 2020, international sales decreased 2 percent and 1 percent year over year on a GAAP and a constant currency basis, respectively. The decrease in net sales for the first nine months of 2020 was due to increases in Asia-Pacific, which was more than offset by declines in Rest-of-World.

The P&A segment operating earnings were $99.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 36.8 percent mainly due to the increase in net sales across all product categories, partially offset by higher variable compensation expense. For the first nine months of 2020, P&A segment operating earnings were $226.2 million, an increase of 8.2 percent, showing the consistent sustainable earnings power of this business, partially offset by cost reduction actions.

The Boat segment net sales increased $50.7 million, or 18.3 percent, in the third quarter of 2020 versus 2019, resulting from significantly higher wholesale volume to dealers to meet increased customer demand at the retail level and to begin refilling pipeline inventories. Freedom Boat Club, which represents approximately 3 percent of segment sales, also reported higher sales in the quarter due to an increase in new memberships and new franchisee locations.

The Boat segment net sales decreased $147.8 million, or 14.5 percent, in the first nine months of 2020 resulting from lower wholesale volume due to the temporary suspension of manufacturing in most plants and the associated ramp-up of activities earlier in the year resulting from the pandemic.

International sales were 19 percent of the segment's net sales in the third quarter of 2020 and increased 5 percent and 4 percent on a GAAP and constant currency basis, respectively, reflecting an increase in Europe, partially offset by declines in Asia-Pacific. International sales were 24 percent of the Boat segment's net sales in the first nine months of 2020 and decreased 19 percent and 18 percent on a GAAP basis and constant currency basis, respectively, reflecting declines in most regions, which was partially offset by increases in Europe.

The Boat segment operating earnings increased in the third quarter of 2020 due to an increase in production and sales across all product categories. Boat segment operating earnings decreased in the first nine months of 2020 due to lower net sales along with unfavorable impact of absorption resulting from production disruptions, which were partially offset by benefits from cost reduction measures.

Cash Flow, Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth an analysis of free cash flow for the nine months ended:

Total free cash flow from continuing operations (A)
$520.0 $79.0 

(A) The Company defines “Free cash flow” as cash flow from operating and investing activities of continuing operations (excluding cash provided by or used for acquisitions, investments, purchases or sales/maturities of marketable securities and other investing activities) and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. Free cash flow is not intended as an alternative measure of cash flow from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company uses this financial measure both in presenting its results to shareholders and the investment community and in its internal evaluation and management of its businesses. Management believes that this financial measure and the information it provides are useful to investors because it permits investors to view Brunswick’s performance using the same tool that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals. Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measure “Free cash flow” is also useful to investors because it is an indication of cash flow that may be available to fund investments in future growth initiatives.

Brunswick’s major sources of funds for capital investments, acquisitions, share repurchase programs and dividend payments are cash generated from operating activities, available cash and marketable securities balances, proceeds from divestitures and potential borrowings. The Company evaluates potential acquisitions, divestitures and joint ventures in the ordinary course of business.

2020 Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the first nine months of 2020 totaled $637.4 million versus $254.2 million in the comparable period of 2019. This comparison reflected favorable working capital usage, driven mainly by decreases in inventory levels. Working capital is defined as Accounts and notes receivable, Inventories and Prepaid expenses and other, net of Accounts payable and Accrued expenses as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, excluding the impact of acquisitions and non-cash adjustments.

During the first nine months of 2020, Inventory decreased $233.0 million primarily due to the strong increase in net sales during the third quarter and production disruptions earlier in the year. Accounts and notes receivable increased $76.0 million primarily due to the strong increase in net sales towards the end of the period. Accounts payable increased $13.5 million primarily due to production increases, which was partially offset by timing of payments.

Table of Contents

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations was $116.1 million, which included capital expenditures of $120.6 million. The Company's capital spending was focused on investments in new products and expediting existing capital projects given the available free cash flow during the year.

Net cash used for financing activities was $190.9 million and primarily related to common stock repurchases and cash dividends paid to common shareholders. Refer to Note 15 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details on the Company's debt activity during the year.

2019 Cash Flow

In the first nine months of 2019, net cash provided for operating activities of continuing operations totaled $254.2 million. The primary driver of the cash provided by operating activities was net earnings net of non-cash expense items, partially offset by an increase in working capital. Accounts payable decreased $72.8 million primarily due to timing of payments and lower production levels in the Propulsion and P&A segments. Accrued expenses decreased $56.3 million, primarily driven by the impact of payments of the prior year's variable compensation. Inventory increased $36.1 million as a result of increased finished goods. Accounts and notes receivable increased $27.2 million primarily due to seasonal changes in net sales and timing of collections.

Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations during the first nine months of 2019 totaled $231.4 million, which included capital expenditures of $178.4 million and cash paid for the acquisition of Freedom Boat Club of $64.1 million. The Company's capital spending focused on investments in capacity expansion initiatives as well as new products. Net cash provided by investing activities of discontinued operations was $481.9 million and mainly related to proceeds from the Fitness separation.

Net cash used for financing activities was $389.2 million, primarily related to common stock repurchases and cash dividends paid to common shareholders, partially offset by net payments from issuances of long-term debt.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $651.2 million as of September 26, 2020, an increase of $330.1 million from $321.1 million as of December 31, 2019, and an increase of $284.2 million from $367.0 million as of September 28, 2019. Total debt as of September 26, 2020, December 31, 2019 and September 28, 2019 was $1,061.6 million, $1,109.3 million and $1,131.5 million, respectively. The Company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 42.1 percent as of September 26, 2020, down from 46.0 percent as of December 31, 2019 and down from 44.4 percent as of September 28, 2019.

During the first nine months of 2020, gross borrowings under the Credit facility totaled $610.0 million, all of which were repaid during the first nine months of 2020. No borrowings were outstanding as of September 26, 2020, and available borrowing capacity totaled $387.9 million, net of $12.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility. The maximum amount utilized under the Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 26, 2020, including letters of credit outstanding, was $397.1 million. In addition, during the first nine months of 2020, borrowings under the CP Program totaled $175.0 million, all of which were repaid during the first nine months of 2020. During the nine months ended September 26, 2020, the maximum amount outstanding under the CP Program was $100.0 million. Refer to Note 15 – Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

The level of borrowing capacity under the Company's Credit Facility and CP program are limited by both a leverage and interest coverage test. These covenants also pertain to termination provisions included in the Company's wholesale financing joint venture arrangements with Wells Fargo Distribution Finance. Based on the Company's anticipated earnings generation throughout the year, the Company expects to maintain sufficient cushion against the existing debt covenants.

2020 Cash Flow Outlook and Capital Plan

Net activity in working capital is estimated to be a reduction in excess of $175 million. Given the demand and production dynamics, inventory levels are down significantly through the first nine months of the year, and although the Company anticipates modest inventory building in the fourth quarter in the Propulsion and P&A segments, it anticipates ending the year with reduced working capital. In addition, the Company anticipates between $115 and $120 million of depreciation and amortization. Including these and other factors, the Company anticipates generating free cash flow (FCF) in excess of $600 million and to have total liquidity of more than $970 million by year end.

The Company ended the third quarter of 2020 with $659.5 million of cash on hand versus $331.9 million at year end 2019. This increase included free cash flow generation of $520.0 million in the first nine months of 2020 or approximately $441 million more than over the same period in 2019, principally related to favorable changes in working capital, driven mainly by reductions in inventory levels and lower capital expenditures. The significant free cash flow generation in the third quarter allowed the Company to repay the remaining $185.0 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and further reduce its long-term debt obligations by $39.0 million as planned.

As a result of the strong cash flow generation, the Company has made additional significant changes to the capital strategy assumptions, reflecting actions the Company plans to take in the fourth quarter. The Company is now anticipating that it will increase its total debt retirement to approximately $160 million for the year by using its considerable cash flow to continue paying down its 2023 term loan, and EBITDA leverage below 1.5 times on a gross basis by the end of the year.

In September 2020, the Company announced the restart of its systematic share repurchase program, with a goal of repurchasing approximately $100 million of shares in 2020, which is consistent with the Company's target to start the year. The Company repurchased $79.1 million of shares as of September 26, 2020, of which approximately $45 million was repurchased in the third quarter, lowering the total remaining authorization to $155.7 million.

In October 2020, the Company has increased its quarterly dividend by 12.5 percent to $0.27, which represents the eighth straight year of dividend increases.

The Company estimated its effective tax rate to be between 21 and 22 percent for the year, with its cash tax rate in the low-double-digit percentage range.
