Briggs & Stratton Corp. shares rose more than 5% in premarket trade Friday, after the maker of gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment and lawn and turf products announced a strategic overhaul. The Milwaukee, Wisc.-based company said it will focus on power applications, divest certain assets to simplify the company and position itself for growth. The company will retain its residential engines division, its Vanguard commercial engines division, its standby power generation division and its Vanguard commercial battery systems division. It will divest most of the businesses in its products segment, starting with the turf products business that is headquartered in the U.S., and the pressure washer and portable generator product lines. The turf business includes the Ferris, Billy Goat, and Snapper brands, among others. Proceeds of the sales, and a debt financing facility of up to $200 million the company expects to secure by end fiscal 2020, will be used to pay down existing debt and reduce leverage. The company is expecting the entity to be created after asset sales to generate $1 billion in revenue a year. The company expects to book charges of $35 million to $45 million for the changes, of which $20 million to $25 million are expected to be cash charges. Shares have fallen 77% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 9%.

Still a great game and one I enjoy getting to the table. A decent solo mode on it too.
