Fitness equipment sales picking up.
Clip from, Brunswick Corp Q4 2009 Earnings Call (January 28, 2010)
"In addition, we believe sales improvement will occur in our fitness and bowling and billiards segments as financing slowly becomes available and as proprietors of health clubs and bowling centers become concerned that their equipment is affecting their ability to attract and retain customers. Our current expectations reflect that these segments will experience modest growth in both revenue and operating earnings while continuing to generate strong cash flows. We expect to report improving margins and the majority of our margin growth will come from significantly higher revenues and production rates, which may combine with our lower cost structure will produce strong operating leverage.
Tim Conder: Okay, okay. And then, on some of your -- you gave -- and thank you for the additional broad detail outlook by the bowling and billiards division, and engines, and boats. Noticeably absent, unless I missed it, was I think guidance from Life Fitness.
Dusty McCoy: No. We said Life Fitness would have a modest sales increase and a modest earnings increase."
