Rhea-AI Summary

Insights

Financial Analyst

The Q4 2024 results present a complex financial picture that requires careful analysis beyond the headline numbers. While the $1.45B Topgolf impairment charge creates significant accounting noise, the underlying operational metrics reveal important strengths and challenges:

Core Business Resilience: The Golf Equipment segment demonstrated remarkable resilience, maintaining its #1 U.S. market share position in total golf clubs for the third consecutive year. The segment's Q4 revenue increased by $25.4M to $224.8M, with improved margins reflecting strong operational execution despite seasonal headwinds. This performance, combined with record golf ball market share, indicates robust fundamental demand for the company's core products.

Topgolf Dynamics: The -8% same venue sales decline at Topgolf, while concerning, masks some positive developments. Venue-level margins reached record Q4 levels, demonstrating effective cost management and operational efficiency. The impairment charge, while substantial, is a non-cash accounting adjustment that doesn't impact operational cash flows or future growth potential.

Financial Health Indicators: The 27% increase in Adjusted Free Cash Flow to $203.1M is particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrates improved working capital management and operational efficiency. The $37.1M reduction in inventory levels and increased available liquidity to $796.9M provide important financial flexibility as the company navigates its strategic initiatives.

Forward Challenges: The 2025 outlook faces multiple headwinds totaling approximately $105M in revenue and $120M in Adjusted EBITDA impact. These include foreign currency pressures ($60M revenue impact), calendar transition effects, and increased operational costs. The planned Topgolf separation, while strategic, will incur approximately $50M in one-time costs plus $15M in annual standalone expenses.

The company's ability to maintain strong market positions while generating improved cash flow demonstrates operational resilience, but investors should monitor Topgolf's same venue sales recovery and the execution of cost management initiatives through 2025's challenging environment.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Q4 consolidated Net Revenue growth of 3% and strong Adjusted EBITDA growth both outperformed guidance.
• Total Company operating cash flow increased 5% to $382 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow increased 27% to $203 million.
• Topgolf's same venue sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and venue margins all exceeded expectations in Q4.
• In 2024 the Callaway brand maintained its #1 position in U.S. market share in total golf clubs for the third consecutive year - and 9th time in the last 10 years - and achieved record U.S. market share in golf ball.

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.

FOURTH QUARTER 2024 SEGMENT COMMENTARY

(All comparisons to prior periods are calculated on a year-over-year basis, unless otherwise noted)

Topgolf

• Revenue remained flat at $439.0 million, with a decline in same venue sales offset by revenue from new venues.
• Same venue sales were -8%, slightly better than expectations due to improving traffic trends.
• Segment operating income increased $3.8 million, or 16.5%, to $26.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.3 million, or 14.1%, to $83.5 million driven primarily by revenue from additional venues, and record Q4 venue-level margins.
• Topgolf opened two new venues in Q4 2024, compared to nine venues in Q4 2023.

Golf Equipment

• Revenue increased $25.4 million to $224.8 million. This increase was driven by increased revenue in both golf clubs and golf balls due to the continued success of our clubs business and Chrome family of balls as well as the successful launch of our new Ai-One Square 2 Square Odyssey putters in Q4.
• The typical seasonal operating loss in Q4 improved by $17.2 million to $(2.7) million, driven by increased sales volume and improved gross margins.

Active Lifestyle

• Revenue increased $1.9 million or 0.7% to $260.6 million, driven by TravisMathew.
• Operating income increased $3.4 million primarily driven by the increased revenue as well as cost savings initiatives at Jack Wolfskin resulting from the recent right-sizing of that business.

FULL YEAR 2024 SEGMENT COMMENTARY 

(All comparisons to prior periods are calculated on a year-over-year basis, unless otherwise noted)

Topgolf

• Revenue increased $48.4 million to $1,809.4 million, with increases driven primarily by new venues partially offset by a decrease in same venue sales.
• Same venue sales were -9%.
• Operating income increased $5.4 million, or 5.0%, to $114.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $32.9 million, or 10.8%, to $337.2 million driven primarily by the new venues, strong venue-level margins and cost savings initiatives.
• Topgolf ended 2024 with 100 owned and operated venues, an increase of 7, including one acquired from BigShots.

Golf Equipment

• Revenue decreased slightly to $1,382.0 million, which was a $5.5 million or 0.4% decrease. The decline was due to negative foreign currency exchange rates as revenue increased slightly on a constant currency basis.
• Operating income decreased by $9.7 million, primarily due to higher freight rates and unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates.

Active Lifestyle

• Revenue decreased $88.4 million or 7.8% to $1,047.9 million. The decrease was primarily driven by lower European wholesale revenue at Jack Wolfskin, as well as lower corporate channel revenue at TravisMathew resulting from a channel fill-in which occurred in 2023 and did not repeat in 2024. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by growth in the Jack Wolfskin China business and TravisMathew direct-to-consumer and wholesale businesses.
• Operating income decreased $34.6 million primarily as a result of the lower revenue.

2024 BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW HIGHLIGHTS

• Cash flow from operating activities was $382.0 million, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $203.1 million, driven by operating efficiencies at Topgolf, improved working capital in the Core business and lower capital expenditures.
• Inventory decreased $37.1 million year-over-year to $757.3 million, driven by decreases in the Active Lifestyle segment primarily resulting from recent right-sizing initiatives at Jack Wolfskin.
• Available liquidity, which is comprised of cash on hand and availability under the Company's credit facilities, increased $54.3 million to $796.9 million compared to December 31, 2023.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The Company's 2025 outlook assumes a consumer environment similar to 2024 and headwinds of approximately $105 million in revenue and approximately $120 million in Adjusted EBITDA compared to 2024 as described below.

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 continues to expect approximately $50 million in one-time separation costs.
• The guidance below includes an estimated incremental $15 million in operating expense at Topgolf for standalone public company costs in 2025.

The Company's full year outlook is as follows:

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

While the amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from our calculation of non-GAAP net income, the revenue, operating costs and associated acquired assets that contribute to the revenue generation associated with these acquired companies is reflected in our calculation of non-GAAP net income.

As such, prior period amounts have been recast in order to conform with the current period presentation. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, non-cash depreciation and amortization related to these purchase accounting adjustments was $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

While the amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from our calculation of non-GAAP net income, the revenue, operating costs and associated acquired assets that contribute to the revenue generation associated with these acquired companies is reflected in our calculation of non-GAAP net income. Starting in the second quarter of 2024, the depreciation and amortization associated with purchase accounting adjustments stemming from these acquisitions is excluded from our non-GAAP adjustments. As such, prior period amounts have been recast in order to conform with the current period presentation. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, non-cash depreciation and amortization related to these purchase accounting adjustments was $6.0 million and $11.8 million, respectively.

For 2024, on a non-GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding exclude the impact of the 2020 convertible notes due to the notes being anti-dilutive. For 2023, the impact of the 2020 convertible notes is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method.
