ITEM 1.      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, including a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and U.S. GAAP. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements; however, the accompanying interim notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024, nor were those of the comparable 2023 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year ended December 31, 2023. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities independently, or (ii) have equity holders that do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses, or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The Company consolidates the accounts of Acushnet Lionscore Limited (“Lionscore”), a VIE which is 40% owned by the Company. The sole purpose of the VIE is to manufacture the Company’s golf footwear and as such, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has presented separately on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, to the extent material, the assets of its consolidated VIE that can only be used to settle specific obligations of its consolidated VIE and the liabilities of its consolidated VIE for which creditors do not have recourse to its general credit. The general creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. Certain directors of the VIE have guaranteed the credit lines of the VIE, for which there were no outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the VIE, the Company is not required to provide financial support to the VIE.

The ownership interests held by owners other than the Company in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries are classified as noncontrolling interests. The financial results and position of noncontrolling interests are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The value attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, separately from the equity attributable to the Company. Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests are those noncontrolling interests which are or may become redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon occurrence of an event. The Company initially records the redeemable noncontrolling interest at its acquisition date fair value. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is subsequently adjusted to the greater amount of either the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest's share of comprehensive income (loss) or the redemption value, assuming the noncontrolling interest is redeemable at the balance sheet date. This adjustment is recognized through retained earnings and is not reflected in net income (loss) or comprehensive income (loss). The value attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests and any related loans to minority shareholders, which are recorded as a reduction to redeemable noncontrolling interests, are presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity between liabilities and shareholders’ equity. The amount of the loan to minority shareholders was $4.4 million as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Cash held in Company checking accounts is included in cash. Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash. The Company classifies as restricted certain cash that is not available for use in its operations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of restricted cash included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

Foreign currency transaction losses included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this update provide more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company estimates expected credit losses using a number of factors, including customer credit ratings, age of receivables, historical credit loss information and current and forecasted economic conditions, which could affect the collectability of the reported amounts. All of these factors have been considered in the estimate of expected credit losses for the periods presented.

The activity related to the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows:

The components of inventories were as follows: 

The Company has defined warranties generally ranging from one to two years. Products covered by the defined warranty policies primarily include all Titleist golf products, FootJoy golf shoes and FootJoy golf outerwear. These product warranties generally obligate the Company to pay for the cost of replacement products, including the cost of shipping replacement products to its customers. The estimated cost of satisfying future warranty claims is accrued at the time the sale is recorded. In estimating future warranty obligations, the Company considers various factors, including its warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair products under warranty.

The activity related to the Company’s warranty obligation for accrued warranty expense was as follows:

The Company's credit agreement, dated as of December 23, 2019 (as subsequently amended on July 3, 2020 and August 2, 2022 (the "Credit Agreement")), provides for a $950.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, due to mature on August 2, 2027. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $485.2 million and $325.2 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility with a weighted average interest rate of 6.44% and 6.57%, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had available borrowings under its multi-currency revolving credit facility of $459.8 million after giving effect to $5.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on the Company's leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations to be immediately due and payable. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its Credit Agreement.

On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). On June 28, 2024, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) will cease to be published (the “CORRA Transition Date”). Pursuant to the Third Amendment, for loans denominated in Canadian dollars borrowed or continued after the CORRA Transition Date, the Adjusted CDOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is replaced by adjusted term CORRA (the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average administered by Bank of Canada) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.29547% (for a one-month Interest Period) or 0.32138% (for a three-month Interest Period) (“Adjusted Term CORRA”). The applicable margin for Adjusted Term CORRA loans remains 1.00% to 1.75%, depending on the Net Average Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).

On October 3, 2023, Acushnet Company (the "Issuer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the issuance and sale of $350.0 million in gross proceeds of the Issuer's 7.375% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated October 3, 2023 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee of the Notes, and the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer as guarantors. The proceeds from the Notes offering were used to repay $345.6 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility, as well as to pay fees and expenses related to the Notes offering. In connection with the Notes offering, the Company incurred fees and expenses of approximately $6.4 million, of which approximately $6.3 million was capitalized as debt issuance costs within long-term debt on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to interest expense, net over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of the Notes, based on third-party quotes (Level 2), as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $362.3 million and $365.1 million, respectively.

The Notes bear interest at a stated interest rate of 7.375% (an effective interest rate of 7.813%) per year, with interest payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2024. Accrued interest related to the Notes of $12.9 million and $6.5 million was included within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; make loans and investments; sell assets; incur liens; enter into certain types of transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and consolidate or merge with or into other companies. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.

The Company has certain unsecured local credit facilities available through its subsidiaries. Amounts outstanding under other short-term borrowings are presented in short-term debt in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets with the proceeds and repayments presented on a gross basis in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. There were $30.5 million and $29.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company's local credit facilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The weighted average interest rate applicable to the outstanding borrowings was 0.74% and 0.45% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had available borrowings remaining under these local credit facilities of $29.4 million.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were outstanding letters of credit related to agreements, including the Credit Agreement, totaling $8.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of which $5.0 million and $8.1 million, respectively, was secured. These agreements provided a maximum commitment for letters of credit of $58.0 million as of March 31, 2024.

The Company principally uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate variability on the Company's results of operations. The principal derivative financial instruments the Company enters into are foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument contracts for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign exchange forward contracts are foreign exchange derivative instruments primarily used to reduce foreign currency risk related to transactions denominated in a currency other than functional currency. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The periods of the foreign exchange forward contracts correspond to the periods of the hedged forecasted transactions, which do not exceed 24 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. The primary foreign exchange forward contracts pertain to the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Korean won and the euro. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount outstanding of all foreign exchange forward contracts designated under hedge accounting as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $200.7 million and $209.6 million, respectively.

The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, which either do not qualify as hedging instruments or have not been designated as such, to reduce foreign currency transaction risk related to certain intercompany assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than functional currency. These undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability with the corresponding change in fair value recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations. There were no outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts not designated under hedge accounting as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023, included a gain of $0.1 million related to undesignated foreign exchange forward derivative instruments.

From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to reduce interest rate risk related to floating rate debt. Under the contracts, the Company pays fixed and receives variable rate interest, in effect converting a portion of its floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Interest rate swap contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The notional value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap contracts was $100.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The fair value of hedge instruments recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was as follows:

The hedge instrument gain (loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax was as follows:

Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax at the time the forecasted hedged transaction impacts the statements of operations or at the time the hedge is determined to be ineffective. Based on the current valuation, during the next 12 months the Company expects to reclassify a net gain of $7.1 million related to foreign exchange derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, into cost of goods sold and a net gain of $0.6 million related to interest rate derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, into interest expense, net. For further information related to amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, see Note 12.

The hedge instrument gains recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations were as follows:

_______________________________________________________________________________

(1)    Relates to net gains on foreign exchange forward contracts derived from previously designated cash flow hedges.

The Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the derivative contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions, as well as its own credit quality, and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 were as follows:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 were as follows:

Rabbi trust assets are used to fund certain retirement obligations of the Company. The assets underlying the Rabbi trust are equity and fixed income exchange-traded funds.

Deferred compensation program assets and liabilities represent a program where select employees could defer compensation until termination of employment. Effective July 29, 2011, this program was amended to cease all employee compensation deferrals and provided for the distribution of all previously deferred employee compensation. The program remains in effect with respect to the value attributable to the employer match contributed prior to July 29, 2011.

Foreign exchange derivative instruments are foreign exchange forward contracts primarily used to limit currency risk that would otherwise result from changes in foreign exchange rates (Note 6). The Company uses the mid-price of foreign exchange forward rates as of the close of business on the valuation date to value each foreign exchange forward contract at each reporting period.

Interest rate derivative instruments are interest rate swap contracts used to reduce interest rate risk related to the Company's floating rate debt (Note 6). The valuation for the interest rate swap is calculated as the net of the discounted future cash flows of the pay and receive legs of the swap. Mid-market interest rates on the valuation date are used to create the forward curve for floating legs and discount curve.

Components of net periodic benefit cost (credit) were as follows:

						Pension Benefits												Postretirement Benefits
						Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)						2024						2023						2024						2023
Components of net periodic benefit cost (credit)
Service cost						$	1,325					$	1,434					$	91					$	119
Interest cost						2,703						2,943						133						172
Expected return on plan assets						(1,838)						(1,962)						—						—
Amortization of net loss (gain)						58						21						(269)						(201)
Amortization of prior service cost (credit)						23						46						(34)						(34)
Net periodic benefit cost (credit)						$	2,271					$	2,482					$	(79)					$	56

The non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost (credit) are included in other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income tax expense increased by $2.7 million to $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company’s effective income tax rate ("ETR") was 21.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 18.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The ETR for the three months ended March 31, 2024 differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the U.S. taxation of foreign income, state income taxes and the Company's geographic mix of income earned by the Company's international subsidiaries, partially offset by the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and federal and state tax credits. The ETR for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and federal and state tax credits, partially offset by the U.S. taxation of foreign income, state income taxes and the Company's geographic mix of income earned by its international subsidiaries.

The Company declared dividends per common share, including DERs (Note 11), during the periods presented as follows:

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.215 per share of common stock to shareholders of record as of June 7, 2024 and payable on June 21, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, the Board of Directors had authorized the Company to repurchase up to $1.0 billion of its issued and outstanding common stock. Share repurchases may be effected from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, including transactions with affiliates, with the timing of purchases and the amount of stock purchased generally determined at the discretion of the Company consistent with the Company's general working capital needs and within the constraints of the Company’s Credit Agreement and the Indenture (Note 5).

On June 16, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with Magnus Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Magnus"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fila Holdings Corp., to purchase from Magnus an equal amount of its common stock as it purchases on the open market over the period of time from July 1, 2022 through January 13, 2023, up to an aggregate of $75.0 million, at the same weighted average per share price (the "2022 Agreement"). On August 30, 2022, the Company amended and restated the 2022 Agreement to increase the aggregate dollar amount of shares of its common stock that it would purchase from Magnus from $75.0 million to $100.0 million, (the "Amended and Restated 2022 Agreement"). In relation to this agreement, the Company recorded a share repurchase liability of $92.6 million for 2,000,839 shares of common stock, which was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and treasury stock on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. Between January 1, 2023 and January 13, 2023, the Company purchased an additional 167,689 shares of its common stock on the open market for an aggregate of $7.4 million, bringing the cumulative total open market purchases since the inception of the 2022 Agreement to $100.0 million. As a result, on January 23, 2023, the Company purchased 2,168,528 shares of its common stock from Magnus for an aggregate of $100.0 million, in satisfaction of its obligation under the Amended and Restated 2022 Agreement.

On June 9, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Magnus to purchase from Magnus an equal amount of its common stock as it purchases on the open market over the period of time from June 12, 2023 through October 27, 2023, up to an aggregate of $100.0 million, at the same weighted average per share price (the "2023 Agreement"). In relation to the 2023 Agreement, on November 3, 2023, the Company purchased 1,824,994 shares of its common stock from Magnus for an aggregate of $100.0 million in satisfaction of its obligation under the 2023 Agreement.

On March 14, 2024, the Company entered into a new agreement with Magnus to purchase from Magnus an equal amount of its common stock as it purchases on the open market over the period of time from April 1, 2024 through June 28, 2024, up to an aggregate of $37.5 million, at the same weighted average per share price (the "2024 Agreement").

The Company's share repurchase activity for the periods presented was as follows:

___________________________________

(1) Includes $2.0 million related to shares repurchased not settled as of March 31, 2024.

(2)    In accordance with the share repurchase agreements, shares purchased from Magnus are accrued for at the same weighted average price as those purchased on the open market, as if the purchase from Magnus had occurred on the same day. As such, the average price of Magnus repurchases during any given period will differ from open market repurchases due to the settlement of the previously recorded share repurchase liability, as well as open market purchases made after the completion of the Magnus share repurchase agreements.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $339.7 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization, including $37.5 million related to the 2024 Agreement. This program may be extended or otherwise modified by the Board of Directors at any time and will remain in effect until completed or until terminated by the Board of Directors.

The Company records retirements of repurchased common stock, upon either formal or constructive retirement, at cost and allocates the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both retained earnings and additional paid-in capital. The portion allocated to additional paid-in capital is calculated on a pro rata basis of the shares to be retired and the total shares issued and outstanding as of the date of retirement. When shares of common stock are retired, they are deducted from the number of shares issued.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company presented as retired 547,233 shares of its repurchased common stock with an aggregate repurchase price of $35.3 million, which the company intends to formally retire in 2024.

Under the Acushnet Holdings Corp. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs") and other share-based and cash-based awards to members of the Board of Directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company. As of March 31, 2024, the only awards granted under the 2015 Plan were RSUs and PSUs.

RSUs granted to members of the Board of Directors vest immediately into shares of common stock. RSUs granted to Company officers generally vest over three years, with one-third of each grant vesting annually, subject to the recipient's continued employment with the Company. RSUs granted to other employees, consultants and advisors of the Company vest in accordance with the terms of the grants, generally either over three years or, beginning in 2022, with one-third of each grant vesting annually, subject to the recipient’s continued service to the Company. PSUs granted to Company officers and other employees vest based upon the Company's performance against specified targets, generally over a three-year performance period, subject to the recipient's continued service to the Company. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of common stock that could be issued is determined based upon the Company's performance against these targets. The number of shares that could be issued can range from 0% to 200% of the recipient's target award. Recipients of the awards granted under the 2015 Plan may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of any shares of common stock issuable upon vesting to a future date elected by the recipient.

All RSUs and PSUs granted under the 2015 Plan have DERs, which entitle holders of RSUs and PSUs to the same dividend value per share as holders of common stock and can be paid in either cash or common stock. DERs are subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions as the corresponding unvested RSUs and PSUs. DERs are paid when the underlying shares of common stock are delivered.

A summary of the Company’s RSUs and PSUs as of March 31, 2024 and changes during the three months then ended is presented below: 

_______________________________________________________________________________

(1)    Includes 50,237 shares of common stock related to RSU's that were not delivered as of March 31, 2024.

(2)    Based upon the Company’s level of achievement of the applicable performance metrics, the recipients of the 133,099 PSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2024, were entitled to receive 266,198 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2024, there were 86,762 shares of common stock that had not been delivered in connection with the vesting of these PSUs.

(3)    Number of PSUs reflects 100% of the target level grant and may not be indicative of the performance level expected to be achieved.

Compensation expense recorded related to RSUs and PSUs in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs was $34.9 million and $19.6 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024, and is expected to be recognized over the related weighted average period of 1.6 years and 2.2 years, respectively.

A summary of shares of common stock issued related to the 2015 Plan, including the impact of any DERs issued in common stock, is presented below:

The allocation of share-based compensation expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:

The Company’s potential dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 include RSUs and PSUs. PSUs vest based upon achievement of performance targets and are excluded from the diluted shares outstanding unless the performance targets have been met as of the end of the applicable reporting period regardless of whether such performance targets are probable of achievement.

The following securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding as their impact was determined to be anti-dilutive:

The Company’s operating segments are based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) makes decisions about assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company has four reportable segments that are organized on the basis of product categories. These segments include Titleist golf balls, Titleist golf clubs, Titleist golf gear and FootJoy golf wear.

The CODM primarily evaluates performance using segment operating income. Segment operating income includes directly attributable expenses and certain shared costs of corporate administration that are allocated to the reportable segments, but excludes certain other costs, such as interest expense, net; restructuring costs; the non-service cost component of net periodic benefit cost; transaction fees; as well as certain other non-operating gains and losses that the Company does not allocate to the reportable segments. The CODM does not evaluate a measure of assets when assessing performance.

Results shown for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily those which would be achieved if each segment was an unaffiliated business enterprise. There are no intersegment transactions.

Information by reportable segment and a reconciliation to reported amounts are as follows:
