Product Warranty
Note 7. Product Warranty
The Company has a stated two-year warranty policy for its golf clubs. The Company’s policy is to accrue the estimated cost of satisfying future warranty claims at the time the sale is recorded. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various relevant factors, including the Company’s stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty. The decrease in the provision for warranty claims is primarily due to a decline in warranty returns rates as a result of improved durability of newer products.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s reserve for accrued warranty expense (in thousands):
