CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (the "Company" or "Callaway") (NYSE: ELY) announced today its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2021.

"I am pleased to announce another quarter of strong results, driven primarily by Topgolf domestic venues, which benefited from increased social and corporate events bookings and high walk-in guest turnout, along with continued momentum in our apparel and golf equipment businesses," commented Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Callaway. "The quarter topped off a truly outstanding year for Callaway and I am extremely proud of the global team for their efforts. This was a record year in many aspects, and I am excited about the opportunity to build on this strong foundation as we look ahead to 2022 and beyond." 

"The combination of Topgolf and Callaway early in the year was transformational and we have been thrilled by the strong revenue growth and profitability, with both exceeding our initial expectations. We believe our strong pipeline for new venues, along with the rapid expansion of our Toptracer range technology, will deliver significant long-term shareholder value," continued Mr. Brewer. "In our golf equipment business, we proved our ability to adapt and flex our operations to meeting the growing demand for the sport of golf. Given current trends and positive industry fundamentals, we believe this segment will continue to grow in 2022. Lastly, our apparel concepts performed extremely well across all channels and all regions and have strong brand momentum moving into the year ahead. Overall, we have never been more confident in the direction of this business and the opportunity for growth ahead."

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights
(All comparisons to prior periods are calculated on a year-over-year basis)

• Net revenue increased 90%, driven by the addition of Topgolf, which benefited from strong walk-in traffic and social event bookings, along with better-than-expected corporate events business, as well as growth in the Apparel, Gear and Other segment.
  
• Non-GAAP income from operations decreased $21 million year-over-year, due to a planned decrease in golf equipment sales as the Company shifted production of golf equipment to build 2022 new launch product during the fourth quarter of 2021 and increased operating expenses. In addition, Callaway launched several new products in the comparable fourth quarter 2020 creating an uneven year-over-year comparison.
  
• Non-GAAP other income/(expense), net decreased $(24) million to $(37) million, primarily due to a $28 million increase in interest expense related to the addition of Topgolf.
  
• Non-GAAP loss per share was ($0.19) in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to a loss of ($0.33) per share in 2020. Diluted shares were 186 million shares of common stock, an increase of 92 million shares compared to 94 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2020. The increased share count is primarily related to the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Topgolf merger.
  
• Fourth quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA increased $27 million, driven by a $46 million contribution from the Topgolf business, partially offset by lower adjusted EBITDA in the golf equipment and apparel businesses. On a full year basis, Topgolf Adjusted EBITDA contribution was $177 million. Due to the timing of the Topgolf acquisition on March 8, 2021, Callaway's full year results for 2021 only include approximately 10 months of Topgolf results and therefore do not include January and February results, which were in the aggregate $2.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA.
  
• During the fourth quarter 2021, Callaway repurchased a total of 946,637 shares at an average price of $26.41. There remains approximately $25 million in the Company's authorized share repurchase program announced on December 13, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Segment Highlights
(All comparisons to prior periods are calculated on a year-over-year basis)

• Topgolf
• Contributed $336 million of revenue and $6 million of segment operating income in the fourth quarter of 2021, driven primarily by strong walk-in traffic, continued demand for social events and better-than-expected corporate event bookings.
• Same venue sales surpassed expectations in the quarter, increasing 6% compared to the 2019 level and generating strong flow-through to Adjusted EBITDA.
• Opened a total of nine new domestic venues in 2021, including one new location in Ft. Myers, FL during the fourth quarter of 2021.
• Golf Equipment
• Revenue decreased 24.5% year-over-year due to a planned shift in production to build 2022 new launch product and increased operating expenses. In addition, Callaway launched several new products in the comparable fourth quarter 2020 creating an uneven year-over-year comparison. Compared to fourth quarter 2019 pre-pandemic levels, revenue increased 5.7%.
• Golf Equipment segment operating income decreased $(29) million due primarily to lower revenue compared to 2020.
• Apparel, Gear and Other
• Revenue increased 33.4% year-over-year, driven by a 39.8% increase in apparel sales and a 19.3% increase in gear and other sales across TravisMathew, Jack Wolfskin and Callaway brands.
• Operating income for the Apparel, Gear and Other segment increased $7 million year-over-year to $(2) million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

FULL YEAR 2022 BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The full year 2022 projections set forth below are based on the Company's best estimates at this time. They include the estimated impact of certain factors, including (1) ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the supply chain and staffing levels at our Topgolf venues, (2) changes in foreign currency effects, which are estimated to have a negative full year impact of $54 million on net sales and $38 million on pretax income, and (3) increased freight costs.

FULL YEAR 2022 OUTLOOK
(in millions)	2022 Estimate	2021 Results1
Net Revenue	$3,780 - $3,820	$3,133
Adjusted EBITDA	$490 - $515	$445

1.	Due to the timing of the Topgolf acquisition on March 8, 2021, Callaway's reported full year financial results for 2021 only include approximately ten months of Topgolf results and therefore do not include January and February results which were in the aggregate $142.9 million in revenue and $2.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA.

Net Revenue: Full year 2022 net revenue estimate assumes Topgolf segment revenue of approximately $1.5 billion for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, as well as continued positive demand fundamentals for Callaway's Golf Equipment and Apparel, Gear and Other segments.

Adjusted EBITDA: Full year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA estimate assumes the Topgolf segment will deliver $210 - $220 million in Adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022.

FIRST QUARTER 2022 BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The first quarter 2022 projections set forth below are based on the Company's best estimates at this time. They include the estimated impact of certain factors, including (1) ongoing impact of COVID-19 Omicron variant, (2) changes in foreign currency effects, which are estimated to have a negative impact of $21 million on net sales and $21 million on pretax income (including Q1 2021 hedge gains that do not repeat), and (3) increased freight costs.

FIRST QUARTER 2022 OUTLOOK
(in millions)	2022 Estimate	2021 Results1
Net Revenue	$1,005 - $1,025	$652
Adjusted EBITDA	$130 - $145	$128

1.	Due to the timing of the Topgolf acquisition on March 8, 2021, Callaway's reported full year financial results for 2021 only include approximately ten months of Topgolf results and therefore do not include January and February results which were in the aggregate $142.9 million in revenue and $2.3 million in Adjusted EBITDA.

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 ("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." This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency 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 and depreciation of intangibles and other assets related to the Company's acquisitions (including an impairment charge of $174 million recorded in 2020), non-cash amortization of the debt discount related to the Company's convertible notes, acquisition and other non-recurring items (including a $253 million non-cash gain in 2021 resulting from the Company's pre-merger equity position in Topgolf), and a non-cash valuation allowance recorded against certain of the Company's deferred tax assets as a result of the Topgolf merger.

Adjusted EBITDA.  The Company provides information about its results excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, non-cash stock compensation expense, non-cash lease amortization expense, and the non-recurring and non-cash items 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 of the Company's business with regard to these items. The Company has provided reconciling information in the attached schedules.

For forward-looking Adjusted EBITDAinformation provided in this release, reconciliation of such forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to the most closely comparable GAAP financial measure (net income) is 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 Adjusted EBITDA. 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 Adjusted EBITDA. The Company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of Adjusted EBITDA 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 net income.

Definitions

Same venue sales. Callaway 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.
