FAQ

Why Neutral?

The report's one‑time impairment heavily skews GAAP results even as underlying operations and non‑GAAP metrics improve. Similar past events have led to initial volatility while investors focus on long‑term recovery and strategic execution.

How important is it?

This earnings release is highly significant as it details both a large noncash impairment and strong underlying performance, directly influencing investor sentiment and short-term stock volatility.

Why Short Term?

Near-term headwinds from adverse currency effects, tariff increases, and calendar adjustments could dampen results, although long-term strategies remain intact.

HIGHLIGHTS CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (the "Company" or "Topgolf Callaway Brands", "we", "our", "us") (NYSE: MODG) announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. As discussed below, the Company's fourth quarter GAAP results included 3% revenue growth and a $1,452.0 million noncash impairment charge related to Topgolf's goodwill and intangible assets resulting in a GAAP net loss of $1,512.7 million; whereas the Company's Adjusted EBITDA increased by 45% to $101.4 million. "We are pleased with our strong finish to the year with fourth quarter revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow exceeding expectations," commented Chip Brewer, President and CEO. "These results reflect continued strength in our Golf Equipment business, including our leading market share position in golf clubs and record market share in golf balls in 2024, as well as continued strong operating performance at TravisMathew and the successful reorganization at Jack Wolfskin. In addition, Topgolf had a strong finish to the year with same venue sales, venue margins and adjusted free cash flow all outpacing expectations. Looking forward to 2025, improving same venue sales at Topgolf is a top priority for us and we are actively implementing initiatives to address same venue sales.  We also remain focused on executing our strategic initiatives, bringing exciting new products and programs to market, and driving continued operating efficiencies. However, we are also navigating some short-term headwinds, which are impacting this year's outlook, including foreign currency exchange rates and year-over-year cost pressures. Given the strength of our brands and their market positions, our operational capabilities, and our financial position, we are confident we will work through these short-term headwinds and return to growth.  And, as we execute on our strategy, we believe we will be able to deliver significant shareholder value."

FOURTH QUARTER 2024 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS COMMENTARY (All comparisons to prior periods are calculated on a year-over-year basis, unless otherwise noted) The Company's net revenue of $924.4 million increased 3.0% year-over-year, primarily driven by increases in Golf Equipment. On a GAAP basis, loss from operations increased $1,428.2 million to $1,460.8 million primarily due to a non-cash $1,452.0 million impairment of the Topgolf goodwill and intangible assets. On a non-GAAP basis, income from operations increased $27.2 million to $18.5 million, driven by a $24.4 million increase in total segment operating income, reflecting improvements in all three operating segments and led by the Golf Equipment segment which delivered the largest improvement. Adjusted EBITDA of $101.4 million increased 45.3% vs. the prior year driven by increased profitability in the Topgolf and Golf Equipment segments. FULL YEAR 2024 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS COMMENTARY (All comparisons to prior periods are calculated on a year-over-year basis, unless otherwise noted) The Company's net revenue of $4,239.3 million decreased 1.1% year-over-year, primarily due to decreases in the Korea business and the Jack Wolfskin Europe business as a result of soft market conditions in those markets. On a GAAP basis, loss from operations was $1,257.2 million compared to income from operations of $237.7 million in 2023. This decrease is primarily attributable to the non-cash $1,452.0 million impairment of Topgolf goodwill and intangible assets. On a non-GAAP basis, income from operations decreased $33.3 million to $255.9 million primarily due to a decrease in Active Lifestyle segment operating income, partially offset by an increase in Topgolf operating income. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.5% to $587.7 million as a result of the decrease in the Active Lifestyle segment operating income, partially offset by the increase in Topgolf Adjusted EBITDA.

The revenue headwinds include approximately $60 million in the Core business from unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, and approximately $45 million in total headwinds from the sale of the Topgolf World Golf Tour ("WGT") mobile gaming business in 2024, a transition to a retail calendar for reporting purposes in 2025 which will cause Topgolf to lose three reporting days of financial results in 2025, as well as one less day due to last year's leap year. Excluding those headwinds, the organic revenue would be approximately the same in 2025 as in 2024. Our Adjusted EBITDA outlook includes approximately $75 million in headwinds in the Core business relating primarily to the estimated impact of changes in foreign currency and an expected increase in tariffs, but also a reset of incentive compensation that was not paid out in 2024. Topgolf's outlook includes approximately $45 million in Adjusted EBITDA headwinds related to 2025 calendar changes, the sale of WGT, the incurrence of public company standalone costs, as well as the impact of the reset of incentive compensation. Excluding these headwinds, Total Company organic Adjusted EBITDA would be down slightly year-over-year at the mid-point, including approximately 6% organic growth in Core business EBITDA. Expected Topgolf separation costs: The Company's full year outlook is as follows: 2025 FULL YEAR OUTLOOK (in millions, except where noted otherwise and for percentages) 2025 Estimate(1) 2024 As Reported Consolidated Net Revenues $4.0 - $4.185B $4.24B Core Business Revenue $2.275 - 2.35B $2.43B Topgolf Revenue(3) $1.725 - 1.835B $1.81B Topgolf Same Venue Sales Growth Down Mid-single Digits (9) % Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA(2) $415 - $505 $588 Core Business Adjusted EBITDA(2) $175 - $205 $251 Topgolf Adjusted EBITDA(2)(3) $240 - $300 $337 (1) 2025 includes an estimated $60 million unfavorable year-over-year foreign currency translation impact on Core business revenue (2) Non-GAAP measure.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DISCLOSURES Conference Call and Webcast The Company will be holding a conference call at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time today, February 24, 2025, to discuss the Company's financial results, outlook and business. The call will be webcast live on our investor relations website at https://www.topgolfcallawaybrands.com/news-and-events/presentations.

The replay may be accessed through the Investor Relations section of the Company's website at https://www.topgolfcallawaybrands.com. Non-GAAP Information The GAAP results contained in this press release and the financial statement schedules attached to this press release have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). To supplement the GAAP results, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as follows: Constant Currency Basis. The Company provided certain information regarding the Company's financial results or projected financial results on a "constant currency basis" or as "constant currency" results. This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of the Company's current or projected future period financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period. This impact is derived by taking the current or projected local currency results and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's results or business. Non-Recurring and Non-cash Adjustments. The Company provided information excluding certain non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, including customer and distributor relationships, reacquired distribution rights and acquired developed technology related to the Company's merger with Topgolf, acquisitions of Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO, and reacquisition of distribution rights in the Korea apparel market. While the amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP net income, the revenue and operating costs associated with these acquired companies is reflected in non-GAAP net income calculations, as well as the acquired assets that contribute to revenue generation. For 2024, non-recurring items include charges related to restructuring and reorganization costs in the Active Lifestyle and Golf Equipment segment, costs incurred related to the planned separation of Topgolf, currency translation adjustments for the dissolution of a foreign subsidiary, the 2024 debt repricing, a 2023 cybersecurity incident, additional impairment and abandonment of the Shankstars media game, and IT integration costs stemming primarily from the merger with Topgolf.  For 2023, non-recurring items include charges related to the impairment and abandonment of the Shankstars media game, costs incurred for the 2023 debt refinancing, IT integration and implementation costs stemming from acquisitions, restructuring and reorganization charges in our Topgolf and Active Lifestyle segments and costs related to a cybersecurity incident. Non-Cash Goodwill and Intangible Assets Impairment. The Company provided information excluding goodwill and intangible assets impairment charges related to its Topgolf operating segment. The non-cash impairment charges were taken as part of the Company's annual assessment of fair value.  Given the decline in same venue sales in 2024, the company determined that the carrying value of the Topgolf assets exceeded their fair value and therefore recognized the impairment charge. Adjusted EBITDA. The Company provided information about its results excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, stock compensation expense, non-cash lease amortization expense, and the non-recurring and non-cash adjustments referenced above. In addition, the Company has included in the schedules attached to this release a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP information to the most directly comparable GAAP information. The non-GAAP information presented in this release and related schedules should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. Management uses such non-GAAP information for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period-over-period comparisons and in forecasting the Company's business going forward. Management believes that the presentation of such non-GAAP information, when considered in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP information, provides additional useful comparative information for investors in their assessment of the underlying performance, and, in some cases, financial condition, of the Company's business with regard to these items. For forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, Core business Adjusted EBITDA and Topgolf Adjusted EBITDA (together, the "Projected Non-GAAP Measures") information provided in this release, reconciliation of such Projected Non-GAAP Measures to the most closely comparable GAAP financial measures are not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable efforts. The inability to provide a reconciliation is because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact net income in the future but would not impact the Projected Non-GAAP measures. These items may include certain non-cash depreciation, which will fluctuate based on the Company's level of capital expenditures, non-cash amortization of intangibles related to the Company's acquisitions, income taxes, which can fluctuate based on changes in the other items noted and/or future forecasts, and other non-recurring costs and non-cash adjustments. Historically, the Company has excluded these items from the Projected Non-GAAP Measures. The Company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of the Projected Non-GAAP Measures and may also exclude other items that may arise. The events that typically lead to the recognition of such adjustments are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur, and therefore actual results may differ materially. This unavailable information could have a significant impact on GAAP financial measures. Definitions Same venue sales. The Company defines same venue sales for its Topgolf business as sales for the comparable venue base, which is defined as the number of Company-operated venues with at least 24 full fiscal months of operations in the year of comparison.
