CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (the "Company" or "Topgolf Callaway Brands", "we", "our", "us") (NYSE: MODG) announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"Despite macro headwinds including the cumulative impact of negative FX trends, persistently high inflation and recent softer-than-expected traffic to our Topgolf venues, I am incredibly proud of our team's ability to drive market share gains in our products business as well as the continued strengthening of the digital capabilities and fundamental venue profitability at Topgolf," commented Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Topgolf Callaway Brands. "TravisMathew continues to gain market share and grow its highly profitable direct to consumer business with 10 stores opening this year.   Jack Wolfskin successfully rightsized its operations to focus on key markets in Central Europe and China. And our Golf Equipment results remain strong, especially in the U.S. market, where our club market share continues to lead the industry and our ball share continues to grow. The successful rebranding and redesign of our premium Chrome Tour family of balls highlights our excellence in R&D and commitment to innovation.

Mr. Brewer continued "As we look forward, we remain convinced that Topgolf is a high-quality business with significant future opportunity.  It is transforming the game of golf, and we believe it will deliver substantial growth and financial returns over time.  At the same time, we have been disappointed in our stock performance for some time, as well as the more recent same venue sales performance.  As a result, we are in the process of conducting a full strategic review of Topgolf. This review includes the assessment of organic strategies to return Topgolf to profitable same venue sales growth, as well as inorganic alternatives, including a potential spin of Topgolf.  Our strategic review of Topgolf is being conducted with the help of outside advisors and is focused on maximizing long-term shareholder value. We are active in this work at present and expect to complete our strategic review of Topgolf expeditiously.  We will report back on this when the work is complete."

SECOND 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 $1,157.8 million decreased 1.9% year-over-year, due to an 8.2% decrease in Golf Equipment as a result of a planned shift in equipment launch timing compared to last year. Active Lifestyle revenue decreased 3.2% primarily due to expected lower sales at Jack Wolfskin. Topgolf segment revenues increased 5.0% year-over-year driven by revenue from additional venues.

Income from operations decreased $13.0 million on a GAAP basis and $5.9 million on a non-GAAP basis primarily due to unfavorable changes in foreign currency.

Net income decreased $55.3 million on a GAAP basis and increased $7.5 million on a non-GAAP basis compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net income on a GAAP basis was primarily attributable to a decrease in income tax benefit, the decrease in operating income previously mentioned, and higher interest expense related to new venues. On a non-GAAP basis, the increase in net income was due to a decline in income tax expense as well as lower interest expense as a result of our debt refinancing.

Adjusted EBITDA of $205.6 million was approximately flat (-0.3%) vs. the prior year, exceeding the high-end of our Q2 2024 guidance range, driven by reduced costs and strong operational efficiencies.

SECOND QUARTER 2024 SEGMENT COMMENTARY

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

Topgolf

• Segment revenue increased $23.6 million or 5.0%, to $494.4 million, driven primarily by new venues.
• Same venue sales of -8% were below expectations driven by softer-than-expected traffic as the business navigates the current cyclical macro challenges.
• Segment operating income increased $12.1 million, or 27.5%, to $56.1 million and Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $17.4 million, or 18.9%, to $109.5 million primarily due to increased revenue from new venues and strong operating efficiencies.

Golf Equipment

• Segment revenue decreased $37.2 million or 8.2% to $413.8 million, in line with expectations. The decline was primarily due to the lapping effect of last year's Big Bertha woods and irons launch, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates.
• Segment operating income decreased $19.0 million, primarily due to lower revenue, higher air freight costs and changes in foreign exchange rates, partially offset by management of operating expenses.

Active Lifestyle

• Segment revenue decreased $8.3 million or 3.2% to $249.6 million resulting primarily from previously expected lower wholesale revenue at Jack Wolfskin.
• Segment operating income decreased $4.8 million due to the decrease in revenue previously mentioned.

The following is a reconciliation of total segment operating income to income before income taxes for the periods presented:

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 in the Active Lifestyle segment, currency translation adjustments for the dissolution of a foreign subsidiary, the 2024 debt repricing, a 2023 cybersecurity incident, impairment and abandonment of the Shankstars media game, and IT integration and implementation costs stemming primarily from the merger with Topgolf. For 2023, non-recurring items include legal costs, credit agency fees, and losses associated with our 2023 debt modification, combined with IT integration and implementation costs stemming primarily from the merger with Topgolf, charges related to the impairment and abandonment of the Shankstars media game, and restructuring and reorganization charges in our Topgolf and Active Lifestyle segments.

Adjusted EBITDA. The Company provides 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 items referenced above.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities, less capital expenditures net of proceeds from lease financing and net of proceeds from government grants.

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, 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.
