Current report

Geopolitical Developments and Macroeconomic Factors: The global economy continues to experience elevated levels of volatility and uncertainty, including within the commodity markets, driven by a combination of geopolitical developments and macroeconomic factors. Increased U.S. tariffs have led and may continue to lead to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign jurisdictions, which have further contributed to disruptions in global capital markets and global supply chains. As a result, we have incurred and may continue to incur incremental costs in connection with importing raw materials, component parts and finished goods. We have implemented various strategies to mitigate the effect of these incremental costs on our gross profit and gross margin.

Current report

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were invalid, and in March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to refund duties imposed under IEEPA. In April 2026, CBP established a refund portal, allowing importers of record and authorized customs brokers to submit refund requests. The situation continues to evolve, and further legislative, regulatory, or judicial developments may affect the ultimate outcome and the availability or timing of any refunds. Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 do not include the impact of any potential refunds that we may receive.

Supply Chain Optimization: On January 6, 2026, we formed a new joint venture with Myre and subscribed for shares in the capital of ACL FootJoy, in which we have a 40% interest, with the remaining 60% owned by Myre. The primary purpose of ACL FootJoy is to source raw materials for, and contract for the manufacture and production of, footwear in Vietnam, at one or more factories owned and/or controlled by Myre and/or its affiliates. We currently contract to manufacture substantially all of our FootJoy footwear at the Long An Factory pursuant to this joint venture arrangement. See “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 16 – Other Business Developments,” Item 1 of Part I to this report.

Current report

Information Technology Optimization: During 2024, we began a multi-year implementation of a new global cloud-based enterprise resource planning ("ERP") platform as part of our plans to integrate our operations and enhance our supply chain and finance capabilities. We expect that the new global ERP platform will enable further operating efficiencies and support the Company’s digital transformation. Additional implementation activities are expected to continue in phases by geographic region over the next several years. The global ERP platform implementation spending comprises both capitalized costs and operating expenses. The operating expenses represent costs directly related to the deployment of the global ERP platform above the normal ongoing level of spending on information technology to support our operations. In connection with this strategic initiative, during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred expenses of $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. In addition, we invested $5.7 million and $8.0 million for capitalized implementation costs associated with the integration, configuration and customization of this new global ERP platform during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We anticipate spending approximately $30 million to $35 million in total for the full year related to the deployment of the new global ERP platform.

Current report

Current report

Intangible amortization expense decreased $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the prior period.

Current report

Other expense, net increased $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to other income, net of $19.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a non-cash gain of $20.9 million recognized in the prior year period related to the deconsolidation of Lionscore.

Current report

Net sales in our Titleist golf equipment segment increased 8.9%, or 7.1% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by higher sales volumes of our recently launched SM11 wedges and latest generation T-Series irons, higher average selling prices of our Pro V1 golf ball models and higher sales volumes of our recently launched AVX, Tour Soft and Velocity performance golf ball models, partially offset by lower sales volumes of our second model year hybrids, drivers, fairways, and Scotty Cameron putters.

Current report

Net sales in our FootJoy golf wear segment increased 1.7%, or decreased 1.3% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. On a constant currency basis net sales decreased largely due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher average selling prices across all product categories.

Current report

Operating income in our FootJoy golf wear segment decreased $3.5 million, or 14.3% compared to the prior year period. The decrease in operating income resulted from lower gross profit of $2.8 million and higher operating expenses of $0.7 million. Gross profit decreased primarily as a result of higher tariff costs, partially offset by the higher average selling prices discussed previously.

Current report

Net sales in our Golf gear segment increased 10.8%, or 8.3% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily driven by higher average selling prices across all product categories, as well as higher sales volumes in golf bags, partially offset by lower sales volumes in the travel product category.

Voluntary Bridge to Retirement (“VBR”) Program: During the second quarter of 2025, we initiated a VBR program to reduce operating costs and bridge certain long-tenured eligible employees to retirement. As part of this program, eligible employees were offered severance in the form of salary and benefit continuation. In connection with the VBR program, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred restructuring costs of $2.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs associated with the VBR program of approximately $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. See “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 16 – Restructuring costs,” Item 1 of Part I to this report.

FootJoy Footwear Joint Venture Deconsolidation: As previously disclosed, until 2024, the majority of our FootJoy footwear was manufactured in a facility in Fuzhou, China, owned by a joint venture in which we have a 40% interest, with the remaining 60% owned by our long-standing Taiwan-based supply partner. During 2024, FootJoy shifted footwear production volume from Fuzhou, China to a third-party facility located in Long An Province, Vietnam, which is operated by an affiliate of the same Taiwan-based supply partner. The joint venture ceased production at its Fuzhou, China facility in January 2025 and FootJoy currently contracts to manufacture substantially all of its footwear at the third-party owned Vietnam manufacturing facility. As a result of shifting our footwear manufacturing from the joint venture's Fuzhou, China facility, we are no longer the primary beneficiary of the joint venture and have deconsolidated the accounts of the joint venture from our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2025, we account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. As a result of this deconsolidation, we recognized a non-cash gain of $20.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and currently expect the investment may generate net losses in future periods. See “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” Item 1 of Part I to this report.

The increase in net sales in the United States was largely driven by increases in Titleist golf equipment of $13.4 million, in Golf gear of $4.8 million and in FootJoy golf wear of $2.4 million. The increase in Titleist golf equipment was primarily driven by higher average selling prices in golf clubs, as well as higher sales volumes of our 2025 Pro V1 golf ball models. In addition, higher sales volumes of our newly introduced T-Series irons and second model year SM10 wedges were more than offset by lower sales volumes of second model year drivers and fairways. The increase in Golf gear was primarily driven by higher average selling prices across all product categories. The increase in FootJoy golf wear was primarily due to higher average selling prices in golf gloves and apparel. An increase in net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales.

Reworded paragraphs (26)

Previous wording

Our net sales are diversified by both product category and mix, as well as geography. Our product categories include golf balls, golf clubs, wedges and putters, golf shoes, golf gloves, golf gear and golf and ski outerwear and apparel. Our product portfolio contains a favorable mix of consumable products, which we consider to be golf balls and golf gloves, and more durable products, which we consider to be golf clubs, golf shoes, golf gear and golf outerwear and apparel. Our net sales are also diversified by geography with a substantial majority of our net sales generated in five countries: the United States, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom and Canada. We have the following reportable segments: (i) Titleist golf equipment, (ii) FootJoy golf wear and (iii) Golf gear.

Previous wording

Tariffs and Foreign Exchange: The U.S. government has recently implemented significant tariff measures, including a baseline tariff of 10% on most products imported into the United States, as well as individualized tariffs on products imported from select trading partners, including Canada, China, Mexico, Thailand and Vietnam. As a result, we are incurring incremental tariff costs in connection with importing raw materials, component parts and finished goods, and increased U.S. tariffs have led and may continue to lead to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the U.S. government has announced and rescinded multiple tariffs on several foreign jurisdictions, which has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the tariffs on economic conditions. Current uncertainties about tariffs and their effects on trading relationships may further affect the costs of our imported raw materials, components parts and finished goods and increase market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. We continue to monitor the economic effects of these developments and evaluate opportunities to mitigate their related impacts. See “Risk Factors,” Item 1A of Part II to this report, for additional information.

Current wording

Current uncertainties around geopolitical developments and macroeconomic factors and their effects on trading relationships may further affect the costs of our imported raw materials, components parts and finished goods, as well as increase market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may influence our hedging strategy. In addition, these factors, and any changes to these factors, could have a material adverse effect on consumer behavior and on our future revenues and overall profitability. We continue to monitor the economic effects of these developments and evaluate opportunities to mitigate their related impacts.

Previous wording

Since a significant percentage of our net sales are generated outside of the United States, we use net sales on a constant currency basis to evaluate the sales performance of our business in period over period comparisons and to forecast 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 net 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. 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.

We primarily use Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, assess our consolidated operating performance and make decisions regarding the pricing of our products, go-to-market execution and costs to incur across our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA 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. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” in a manner consistent with the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as it is defined in our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. plus interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and other items defined in our credit 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. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. It should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. as a measure of our operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items, or affected by similar nonrecurring 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 U.S. 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. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp., see “—Results of Operations” below.

Lastly, we use segment operating income (loss) to evaluate the effectiveness of business strategies, assess segment operating performance and make decisions regarding costs to incur across the business. 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 other items that are not allocated to the reportable segments.

Previous wording

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net sales increased 3.5%, or 3.6% on a constant currency basis, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, primarily due to higher average selling prices in golf clubs and sales volumes in golf balls, as well as higher net sales in Golf gear, primarily due to higher average selling prices across all product categories. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher average selling prices. An increase in net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales.

Current wording

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net sales increased 7.1%, or 4.8% on a constant currency basis, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, primarily due to higher sales volumes in golf clubs and golf balls, and higher average selling prices in golf balls, as well as higher net sales in Golf gear, primarily due to higher average selling prices across all product categories. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales, on a constant currency basis, in FootJoy golf wear, primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher average selling prices across all product categories.

Previous wording

The increase in net sales in the United States was primarily driven by increases in Titleist golf equipment of $44.4 million and in Golf gear of $10.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in FootJoy golf wear of $4.9 million.
