FAIRHAVEN, MA – August 3, 2023 – Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) ("Acushnet" or, the "Company"), the global leader in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of performance-driven golf products, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.
“Acushnet continues to build momentum as our team delivered a 6.4% constant currency sales increase in the quarter, led by double digit gains in Titleist golf balls and golf clubs. We are pleased with golfer response to our latest product launches, especially new Pro V1 golf balls and TSR drivers. Recent Major wins by Titleist and FootJoy brand ambassadors Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman at the U.S. Open and Open Championship help to validate our product performance stories while generating positive energy for our brands,” said David Maher, Acushnet’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Underscoring our enthusiasm is strong participation and interest in the sport of golf, particularly in the U.S., where rounds of play were up over 5% year-to-date.”

“As we look ahead to the second half of the year, we are excited to launch new T-Series irons later this summer and a wide assortment of new products from FootJoy and KJUS for the Fall and Winter seasons,” continued Mr. Maher. “Our outlook reflects confidence in our team’s ability to develop and deliver high performance products and services to dedicated golfers around the world and continued investments in Titleist golf balls and golf clubs, while tempered somewhat by elevated marketplace inventories in the footwear category. Our talented team of Acushnet associates remains focused on executing our long-term strategies and striving to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

Summary of Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Three months ended June 30, Increase/(Decrease) Constant Currency Increase/(Decrease)
(in millions) 2023 2022 $ change % change $ change % change
Net sales $ 689.4  $ 658.6  $ 30.8  4.7  % $ 42.2  6.4  %
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. $ 74.7  $ 66.5  $ 8.2  12.3  %
Adjusted EBITDA $ 132.1  $ 106.5  $ 25.6  24.0  %
_______________________________________________________________________________________


Consolidated net sales for the quarter increased 4.7%, or 6.4% on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by higher sales volumes in Titleist golf balls and Titleist golf clubs, partially offset by lower sales volumes in FootJoy golf wear, mainly footwear. A decline in sales volumes of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales.

On a geographic basis, higher net sales in the United States were largely driven by increases of 23.0% in Titleist golf balls and 25.9% in Titleist golf clubs, primarily due to higher sales volumes of Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls and TSR drivers, fairways and hybrids and Scotty Cameron Super Select putters. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 5.1% in FootJoy golf wear primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher sales volumes in apparel.

Net sales in regions outside the United States decreased 6.3%, or 2.5% on a constant currency basis. In Korea, net sales decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments and lower sales volumes in FootJoy golf wear, partially offset by sales volume increases in Titleist golf balls and Titleist golf clubs. In EMEA, net sales decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes in FootJoy golf wear, partially offset by higher sales volumes in Titleist golf balls. In Japan, net sales decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes in Titleist golf clubs and FootJoy golf wear. In Rest of World, net sales increased across all reportable segments.

Segment specifics:
•18.0% increase in net sales (19.8% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf balls primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher average selling prices of our Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls launched in the first quarter of 2023.

•14.5% increase in net sales (16.3% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf clubs largely due to higher sales volumes of our latest generation of TSR drivers, fairways and hybrids and Scotty Cameron Super Select putters, partially offset by lower sales volumes of second model year irons and wedges.

•1.2% increase in net sales (2.9% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf gear largely due to higher average selling prices across all product categories, partially offset by lower sales volumes in headwear.

•11.1% decrease in net sales (9.5% decrease on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher sales volumes in apparel.

Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. increased 12.3% to $74.7 million, year over year, primarily as a result of an increase in income from operations, partially offset by increases in interest expense and income tax expense.

Consolidated net sales for the first six months increased 8.8%, or 11.6% on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by higher sales volumes in Titleist golf balls, Titleist golf clubs and Titleist golf gear. A decline in sales volume of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales.

On a geographic basis, net sales in the United States were higher driven by increases of 23.0% in Titleist golf balls, 22.9% in Titleist golf clubs, 26.9% in Titleist golf gear and 7.8% in FootJoy golf wear, all primarily driven by higher sales volumes.

Net sales in regions outside the United States were down 2.2%, or up 3.5% on a constant currency basis. On a constant currency basis, net sales increased in Rest of World and Japan, offset in part by a decrease in EMEA. In Rest of World, net sales increased across all reportable segments.

•20.8% increase in net sales (24.1% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf gear primarily driven by higher sales volumes across all product categories reflecting improvements in supply chain and fulfillment constraints versus their impact in the first quarter of 2022 and higher average selling prices across all product categories.

•3.2% decrease in net sales (0.4% decrease on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear primarily due to a sales volume decline in footwear, partially offset by increased sales volumes in apparel.

ACUSHNET HOLDINGS CORP.
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, this release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of net sales in constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant to understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales, net income or other measures of profitability or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
We use net sales on a constant currency basis to evaluate the sales performance of our business in period over period comparisons and for forecasting our business going forward. Constant currency information allows us to estimate what our sales performance would have been without changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This information is calculated by taking the current period local currency sales and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable prior period. This constant currency information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of constant currency information may not be consistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization; and other items defined in the agreement, including: share-based compensation expense; restructuring and transformation costs; certain transaction fees; extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring losses or charges; indemnification expense (income); certain pension settlement costs; certain other non-cash (gains) losses, net and the net income (loss) relating to noncontrolling interests. We define Adjusted EBITDA in a manner consistent with the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as it is defined in our credit agreement.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because it excludes the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, assess our consolidated operating performance and make decisions regarding pricing of our products, go to market execution and costs to incur across our business.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our consolidated operating performance. By presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between different periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered an alternative to net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. as a measure of our operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items, or affected by similar non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP.

Our definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.
We also use Adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis, which measures our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, because our management uses it to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, assess our consolidated operating performance and make decisions regarding pricing of our products, go to market execution and costs to incur across our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA margin as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because it excludes the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered an alternative to any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, as forecasted for 2023, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure, net income, is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility of certain charges that may impact our GAAP results on a forward-looking basis, such as the measures and effects of share-based compensation and other extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items, net.
