Brunswick (BC) - Major Customers

Brunswick Corporation (BC) primarily operates on a business-to-business (B2B) model, selling its products to other companies rather than directly to individual consumers as its primary sales channel.

Brunswick's major customers are primarily its extensive global network of independent marine dealerships, distributors, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of boats who incorporate Brunswick's engines and components into their products.

Due to the highly diversified nature of its distribution strategy, Brunswick does not have a small number of "major customers" in the traditional sense (i.e., individual companies accounting for a significant portion of its revenue, typically 10% or more, which would require disclosure in financial filings). Its sales are spread across thousands of independent dealers and numerous smaller OEMs worldwide. Therefore, specific names of major public customer companies cannot be provided, as no single entity meets the criteria of a "major customer" for Brunswick.

• Rapid expansion and technological advancement of electric marine propulsion companies. Numerous startups (e.g., Candela, X Shore, Arc Boats, Vision Marine Technologies, Evoy) are rapidly developing and marketing all-electric boats and propulsion systems. These companies often promise superior performance, lower operating costs, reduced environmental impact, and a quieter boating experience, directly challenging Brunswick's dominant position in internal combustion marine engines (Mercury Marine) and its traditional boat lines. While Brunswick is investing in electrification (e.g., Avator outboards), these specialized electric players could innovate faster or capture significant market share in performance or niche segments.

• Accelerated shift in consumer preference towards boat access/sharing models over individual ownership. The growth of boat clubs (beyond just Brunswick's Freedom Boat Club) and peer-to-peer boat rental platforms (e.g., GetMyBoat, Sailo) indicates a broader trend where consumers prioritize experiences and convenience without the burdens of traditional boat ownership (maintenance, storage, depreciation). While Brunswick benefits from its Freedom Boat Club segment, a significant acceleration of this trend could erode the demand for new boat purchases from its manufacturing divisions faster than its access segment can grow, potentially impacting overall revenue and profit from its core boat and engine sales.
