	General Information
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but also does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. However, in the opinion of Briggs & Stratton Corporation (the Company), adequate disclosures have been presented to prevent the information from being misleading, and all adjustments necessary to fairly present the results of operations and financial position have been included. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted.
	Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto that were included in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K.

	New Accounting Pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, under either full or modified retrospective adoption. Early application is not permitted. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of this new accounting pronouncement on the Company's results of operations, financial position, and cash flow.

	Acquisitions
	On August 29, 2014, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Allmand Bros., Inc. ("Allmand") of Holdrege, Nebraska for total cash consideration of $62.1 million, net of cash acquired. Allmand is a leading designer and manufacturer of high quality towable light towers, industrial heaters, and solar LED arrow boards. Its products are used in a variety of industries, including construction, roadway, oil and gas, mining, and sporting and special events. Allmand's products are generally powered by diesel engines, and distributed through national and regional equipment rental companies, equipment dealers and distributors. Allmand currently sells its products and service parts in approximately 40 countries. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation based on initial estimates of fair value. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $17.7 million of goodwill, which was allocated to the Products Segment, and $24.1 million of intangible assets, including $15.7 million of customer relationships, $8.1 million of tradenames, and $0.3 million of other intangible assets.
	The results of operations of Allmand have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations since the date of acquisition, which was approximately one month of the first fiscal quarter. Pro forma financial information and allocation of the preliminary purchase price are not presented as the effects of the acquisition are not material to the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.

	Restructuring Actions
	The restructuring actions announced in 2012 were concluded as planned during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
	During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company announced and began implementing restructuring actions to narrow its assortment of lower-priced Snapper consumer lawn and garden equipment and consolidate its Products Segment manufacturing facilities in order to reduce costs. The Company will close its McDonough, Georgia plant in the second half of fiscal 2015 and consolidate production into existing facilities in Wisconsin and New York.
	The Company reports restructuring charges associated with manufacturing and related initiatives as costs of goods sold within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restructuring charges reflected as costs of goods sold include, but are not limited to, termination and related costs associated with manufacturing employees, asset impairments and accelerated depreciation relating to manufacturing initiatives, and other costs directly related to the restructuring initiatives implemented. The Company reports all other non-manufacturing related restructuring charges as engineering, selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The restructuring actions discussed above resulted in pre-tax charges of $7.8 million ($5.1 million after tax or $0.11 per diluted share) recorded within the Products Segment for the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
	The following is a rollforward of the restructuring reserve (included in Accrued Liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) attributable to Products Segment restructuring activities for the three month period ended September 28, 2014 (in thousands):

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	'
	Earnings (Loss) Per Share
	The Company computes earnings (loss) per share using the two-class method, an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings (loss) per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s unvested grants of restricted stock and deferred stock awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends (whether paid or unpaid), which are required to be treated as participating securities and included in the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share.
	Information on earnings (loss) per share is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
		Three Months Ended
		September 28,			September 29,
		2014			2013
	Net Loss	$	(15,279	)	$	(19,349	)

	Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share	$	(0.34	)	$	(0.41	)
	Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share	$	(0.34	)	$	(0.41	)
	The dilutive effect of the potential exercise of outstanding stock-based awards to acquire common shares is calculated using the treasury stock method. The following options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares:
		Three Months Ended
		September 28,			September 29,

	Options to Purchase Shares of Common Stock (in thousands)	876			1,348
	Weighted Average Exercise Price of Options Excluded	$	20.31		$	31.88
	As a result of the Company incurring a net loss for the three months ended September 28, 2014 and September 29, 2013, potential incremental common shares of 928,601 and 975,316, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
	On January 22, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to $50 million in funds for use in the Company’s common share repurchase program. On August 13, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized up to an additional $50 million in funds associated with the common share repurchase program. As of September 28, 2014, the total remaining authorization was approximately $69.5 million with an expiration date of June 30, 2016. The common share repurchase program authorizes the purchase of shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in private transactions from time to time, depending on market conditions and certain governing loan covenants. During the three months ended September 28, 2014, the Company repurchased 905,164 shares on the open market at an average price of $19.62 per share, as compared to 482,926 shares purchased on the open market at an average price of $20.08 per share during the three months ended September 29, 2013.

	On January 1, 2014, an amendment to the Company's defined benefit retirement plans became effective that froze accruals for all U.S. non-bargaining employees. Also, on January 1, 2014, amendments became effective that increased benefits under the defined contribution plans.
	The Company expects to make benefit payments of $3.2 million attributable to its non-qualified pension plans during fiscal 2015. During the first three months of fiscal 2015, the Company made payments of approximately $0.5 million for its non-qualified pension plans. The Company anticipates making benefit payments of approximately $13.9 million for its other postretirement benefit plans during fiscal 2015. During the first three months of fiscal 2015, the Company made payments of $4.5 million for its other postretirement benefit plans.
	During the first three months of fiscal 2015, the Company made no cash contributions to the qualified pension plan. Based upon current regulations and actuarial studies, the Company is required to make no minimum contributions to the qualified pension plan during the remainder of fiscal 2015. The Company may be required to make further contributions in future years depending upon the actual return on plan assets and the funded status of the plan in future periods.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities	'
	Derivative Instruments & Hedging Activities
	The Company enters into derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges to manage certain interest rate, foreign currency and commodity exposures. Company policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.
	The Company formally designates the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure and documents both the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge. The Company formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the forecasted cash flows of the related underlying exposure. Because of the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the forecasted cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. Derivative financial instruments are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The effective portion of gains or losses on the derivative designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
	The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, the cash flow hedge is dedesignated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring, or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge.
	In all situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued and the derivative remains outstanding, the Company continues to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognizes any subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings. When it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting and recognizes immediately in earnings gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income related to the hedging relationship.
	The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage a portion of its interest rate risk from financing certain dealer and distributor inventories through a third party financing source. The swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are used to effectively fix the interest payments to a third party financing source, exclusive of lender spreads, ranging from 1.17% to 1.60% for a notional principal amount of $95 million with expiration dates ranging from July 2017 through May 2019.
	The Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the risk from forecasted third party and intercompany sales or payments denominated in foreign currencies. These obligations generally require the Company to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars, Australian Dollars, Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollars, Chinese Renminbi, Euros, Japanese Yen or Mexican Pesos. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than twenty-four months.
	The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. The Company hedges a portion of its exposure to the variability of cash flows associated with commodities used in the manufacturing process by entering into forward purchase contracts or commodity swaps. Derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges are used by the Company to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of natural gas. These contracts generally do not have a maturity of more than twenty-four months.
	The Company has considered the counterparty credit risk related to all its interest rate, foreign currency and commodity derivative contracts and deems any risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

	Fair Value Measurements
	The following guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
	Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
	Level 3: Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
	The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 28, 2014 and June 29, 2014 (in thousands):
				Fair Value Measurements Using
		September 28,		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
		2014

	Derivatives	$	6,853	$	—	$	6,853	$	—

	Derivatives	$	431	$	—	$	431	$	—
	Liabilities:
	Derivatives	$	1,932	$	—	$	1,932	$	—
	The fair value for Level 2 measurements are based upon the respective quoted market prices for comparable instruments in active markets, which include current market pricing for forward purchases of commodities, foreign currency forwards, and current interest rates.
	The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
	The estimated fair value of the Company's Senior Notes (as defined in Note 16) at September 28, 2014 and June 29, 2014 was $252.0 million and $251.4 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $225.0 million on each date. The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying value of the Revolver (as defined in Note 16) approximates fair value since the underlying rate of interest is variable based upon LIBOR rates.
	The Company believes that the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values at September 28, 2014 and June 29, 2014 due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

	The effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 40.9%, compared to 29.3% for the same respective period of fiscal 2014. The higher tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was primarily driven by the reversal of previously recorded reserves as a result of the effective settlement of the Company’s IRS audit for its 2009-2010 consolidated income tax returns.
	For the three months ended September 28, 2014, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $2.2 million, all of which impacted the current effective tax rate. This amount substantially consists of the aforementioned reversal of reserves.
	Income tax returns are filed in the U.S., state, and foreign jurisdictions and related audits occur on a regular basis. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations before fiscal 2012 and is currently under audit by various jurisdictions. With respect to the Company's major foreign jurisdictions, they are no longer subject to tax examinations before fiscal 2004.

	Briggs & Stratton is subject to various unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of its business. These actions typically relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), patent and trademark matters, and disputes with customers, suppliers, distributors and dealers, competitors and employees.
	On May 14, 2010, the Company notified retirees and certain retirement eligible employees of various amendments to the Company-sponsored retiree medical plans intended to better align the plans offered to both hourly and salaried retirees. On August 16, 2010, a putative class of retirees who retired prior to August 1, 2006 and the United Steel Workers filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin (Merrill, Weber, Carpenter, et al.; United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO/CLC v. Briggs & Stratton Corporation; Group Insurance Plan of Briggs & Stratton Corporation; and Does 1 through 20, Docket No. 10-C-0700), contesting the Company's right to make these changes. The complaint seeks an injunction preventing the alleged unilateral termination or reduction in insurance coverage to the class of retirees, a permanent injunction preventing defendants from ever making changes to the retirees' insurance coverage, restitution with interest (if applicable) and attorneys' fees and costs. A class has been certified, and discovery has been concluded. Each party filed a summary judgment motion on September 22, 2014. Replies to the motions are due on November 26, 2014.
	Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss, the Company believes the unresolved legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

	On October 21, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to its $500 million multicurrency credit agreement (the “Revolver”), which, among other things, extended the maturity of the Revolver from October 13, 2016 to October 21, 2018. The initial maximum availability under the revolving credit facility is $500 million. Availability under the revolving credit facility is reduced by outstanding letters of credit. The Company may from time to time increase the maximum availability under the revolving credit facility by up to $250 million if certain conditions are satisfied. In connection with the amendment to the Revolver in the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company incurred approximately $0.9 million in new debt issuance costs, which are being amortized over the life of the Revolver using the straight-line method. As of September 28, 2014, there were no borrowings under the Revolver.
	The Senior Notes and Revolver contain restrictive covenants. These covenants include restrictions on the Company’s ability to: pay dividends; repurchase shares; incur indebtedness; create liens; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; consolidate or merge with other entities; sell or lease all or substantially all of its assets; and dispose of assets or use proceeds from sales of its assets. The Revolver contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio and impose a maximum average leverage ratio.
