= 11.48%

Over the past five years, Brunswick Corp.'s operating profit margin has shown a generally increasing trend, albeit with some fluctuations. The company's operating profit margin was 11.92% in 2019 and has steadily increased to 12.33% in 2023. This indicates that Brunswick has been able to effectively control its operating expenses relative to its revenue over this time period.

The peak operating profit margin of 14.28% in 2022 suggests that the company was particularly efficient in managing its costs and generating profits during that year. However, the slight decrease in the operating profit margin to 12.33% in 2023 may warrant further investigation to understand the factors contributing to this decrease.

Overall, Brunswick Corp.'s operating profit margin performance indicates a relatively healthy profitability level, with the company maintaining a good balance between revenue generation and controlling operating expenses. This metric is important for assessing the company's operational efficiency and profitability over time.
