FAIRHAVEN, MA – August 7, 2019 – Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) ("Acushnet"), a global leader in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of performance-driven golf products, today reported financial results for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019.
“Through the first six months of the year, our business has been led by nice gains in Titleist golf balls, Titleist gear and FootJoy golf wear,” said David Maher, Acushnet’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models are off to great starts in all global markets, and the Titleist ball count across worldwide professional tours is 73%, more than eight times our nearest competitor.
"Titleist TS drivers have been the most played driver at 28 of 35 events on the PGA Tour this season, validating our TS metals speed platform which delivers terrific ball speed and total game performance", continued Maher. "Gains in Titleist gear were led by strong acceptance of our new stand bags, the largest component of that business, and the new FJ Flex and Fury golf shoes have been well received along with the 2019 FootJoy performance outerwear and apparel lines. We continue to be excited about the second half of the year, as we are set to launch several innovative new products led by our new Titleist T- Series irons, which will arrive in golf shops later this month.
Across all markets, Acushnet associates and our valued trade partners continue to do great work presenting and fitting Titleist and FootJoy products to dedicated golfers.”

Consolidated net sales for the first six months decreased by 2.6%. On a constant currency basis, consolidated net sales were down 0.1% due to a decrease of $31.9 million in net sales of Titleist golf clubs primarily related to lower sales volumes of irons and wedges, partially offset by higher sales volumes of TS drivers and fairways as well as an increase of $24.7 million in Titleist golf balls partly driven by our latest generation Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls.
On a geographic basis, consolidated net sales in the United States increased by 3.1% in the six month period. The increase in net sales in the United States resulted from an increase of $13.3 million in net sales of Titleist golf balls and an increase of $6.9 million in net sales of FootJoy golf wear, partially offset by a decrease of $7.8 million in Titleist golf clubs.
Net sales in regions outside the United States were down 8.6% and down 3.4% on a constant currency basis. On a constant currency basis, Japan was down 16.8%, Korea was up 1.8% and EMEA was up 0.4%. In Japan, the decrease in net sales was primarily due to a decrease in sales of Titleist golf clubs. In Korea, the increase in net sales was primarily driven by increased sales in Titleist gear and Titleist golf balls. In EMEA, increased net sales in Titleist golf balls were largely offset by lower net sales of Titleist golf clubs.
Segment specifics:
| |
• | 6.0% increase in net sales (8.3% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf balls partly driven by higher sales volumes of our latest generation Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls launched in the first quarter of 2019 and our AVX premium performance golf balls introduced in the second quarter of 2018, partially offset by a sales volume decline in our performance golf balls which were in their second model year. |
| |
• | 15.5% decrease in net sales (13.6% decrease on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf clubs. This decrease primarily resulted from lower sales volumes of our iron series and wedges which were in their second model year. The decrease was offset by higher sales volumes of TS drivers and fairways which were launched in the third quarter of 2018. |
| |
• | 2.0% increase in net sales (5.0% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf gear. This increase was primarily due to a sales volume increase in our travel gear, golf bag and Titleist glove categories. |
| |
• | 2.0% decrease in net sales (0.8% increase on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear. This increase was primarily driven by a sales volume increase and higher average selling prices in apparel, partially offset by lower sales in the footwear category due to lower average selling prices. |
Net income attributable to Acushnet decreased by $8.0 million to $73.4 million, down 9.8% year over year, primarily as a result of a decrease in income from operations, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $139.9 million, down 10.5% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.6% for the first six months versus 17.0% for the prior year period.

Consolidated net sales for the quarter decreased by 3.3%. On a constant currency basis, consolidated net sales were down 0.8% resulting from a decrease of $8.4 million in net sales of Titleist golf clubs primarily related to lower sales volumes of irons and wedges, partially offset by higher sales volumes of TS drivers and fairways, as well as an increase of $4.8 million in net sales of Titleist golf balls partly driven by sales of our latest generation Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls.
On a geographic basis, consolidated net sales in the United States increased by 1.4% in the quarter, driven by an increase of $3.0 million in net sales of Titleist golf balls and an increase of $1.7 million in net sales of Titleist golf gear, partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million in Titleist golf clubs.
Net sales in regions outside the United States were down 8.7% and down 3.3% on a constant currency basis. On a constant currency basis, Japan was down 13.2%, EMEA was down 5.0%, and Korea was up 5.5%. In Japan and EMEA, the decrease in net sales was primarily due to decreases in sales of Titleist golf clubs and FootJoy golf wear, mainly in the footwear category. In Korea, the increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in Titleist gear sales across all categories.
Segment specifics:
| |
• | 0.6% increase in net sales (2.8% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf balls partly driven by higher sales volumes of our latest generation Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls which were launched in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by sales volume declines in our AVX models which were introduced in the second quarter of 2018 and our performance golf balls which were in their second model year. |
| |
• | 9.2% decrease in net sales (7.1% decrease on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf clubs. This decrease primarily resulted from lower sales volumes of our irons and wedges which |
were in their second model year. The decrease was partially offset by higher sales volumes of TS drivers and fairways, which were launched in the third quarter of 2018.
| |
• | 2.2% increase in net sales (5.2% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf gear. This increase was primarily driven by sales volume increases in our golf bag, Titleist glove and travel gear categories. |
| |
• | 4.5% decrease in net sales (2.0% decrease on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear primarily as a result of lower sales volumes and average selling prices in the footwear category, partially offset by higher sales volumes and average selling prices in apparel. |
Net income attributable to Acushnet decreased by $1.4 million to $38.5 million, down 3.5% year over year, primarily as a result of a decrease in income from operations, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $75.7 million, down 4.7% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.4% for the second quarter versus 16.6% for the prior year period.

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 (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. adjusted for interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, certain transaction fees, indemnification expense (income) from our former owner Beam Suntory, Inc. (formerly known as Fortune Brands, Inc.) (“Beam”), executive pension settlement, certain other non-cash (gains) losses, net and the net income 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 2019, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure, net income (loss), 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 adjustments related to the indemnification obligations owed to us by Beam.
