"'2007 was, to say the least, a very tough year for the marine industry,'

Chairman and Chief Executive Dustan McCoy told analysts in a conference call. He noted the fourth quarter generates the lowest number of sales, but acknowledged the company 'can't ignore the continued downturn' in demand 'in the context of the overall slowing of retail sales.'

 

Moody's Investors Service on Thursday placed Brunswick's debt under review for a possible downgrade, saying it is 'concerned that discretionary consumer spending will continue to decline, especially if the U.S. economy enters a recession.'

 

Brunswick reported net income of $6.8 million, or 8 cents a share, compared with

a net loss in the year-earlier period of $53.2 million, or 57 cents a share. But

a host of special items skewed both quarters, and without those factors

Brunswick's underlying earnings were down dramatically. Earnings from continuing

operations fell to $12.1 million, or 14 cents a share, from $44.2 million, or 47

cents a share. Sales in the latest period rose 4.7 percent, to $1.44 billion."
