U.S. and foreign trade policies, including the assessment of tariffs and other impositions on imported goods, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Current report

On April 2, 2025, the U.S. government announced a broad range of new tariffs on virtually all imports into the United States, including a baseline tariff of 10% on products imported from most countries, a tariff of 25% on products imported from Canada and Mexico and additional individualized tariffs on the countries with which the United States has the largest trade deficits, including a 36% tariff on products imported from Thailand, where we manufacture all of our golf gloves and a significant amount of our golf balls, and a 46% tariff on products imported from Vietnam, where we contract to manufacture substantially all of our footwear and a significant amount of our golf gear and apparel. The U.S. government also announced a tariff of 145% on products imported from China, where we source a significant portion of our golf club components and apparel. On April 9, 2025, the U.S. government announced that a significant portion of the new tariffs for most countries, with the exception of China, would be paused and most other tariffs lowered to 10% for 90 days. These actions are impacting bilateral trade relations, with many U.S. trading partners imposing or publicly considering retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. Although the tariff policy environment has been and is expected to continue to be dynamic, and the ultimate impact of any tariffs will depend on the magnitude and duration of the tariffs and the countries impacted, we are already incurring new tariff costs in connection with imports from every country from which we import raw materials, component parts and finished goods. If we are unable to mitigate tariff-related risks through supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies, sourcing arrangements or other measures, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Additionally, U.S. policy changes and uncertainty about such changes may increase market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. As part of our foreign currency exchange rate hedging strategy, we have and expect to continue to execute forward contracts to protect against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to mitigate foreign currency transaction risk. However, our hedging activities may not offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and or results of operations. See “Our operations are conducted worldwide and our results of operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations” and “We have significant international operations and are exposed to risks associated with doing business globally,” Item 1A of Part I to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
