CARLSBAD, Calif., May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (the "Company" or "Topgolf Callaway Brands", "we", "our", "us") (NYSE: MODG) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

"We are pleased with our overall first quarter results with consolidated revenue and Topgolf same venue sales being in line with our guidance and our achieving better than expected net income, Adjusted EBITDA, EPS and cash performance," commented Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Topgolf Callaway Brands. "We are particularly pleased with Topgolf's continued operational improvements as well as our performance in Golf Equipment where we gained market share with our new Ai Smoke clubs achieving the #1 market share in Driver, Fairway Woods and Irons and our new Chrome Tour balls driving our highest market share ever in the premium golf ball category. Finally, we continued our digital transformation with the recent launch of our new cross-brand consumer data platform, which will help unlock further synergies between our brands. Despite strong performance in our core businesses, we are lowering our annual revenue guidance by $80 million to a range of $4,435 to $4,475 million reflecting significant currency volatility and weaker trends at our Jack Wolfskin business.

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 $1,144.2 million was in line with our expectations and decreased 2.0% year-over-year, due to a 15.2% decrease in the Active Lifestyle segment, which offset a 4.8% and 1.4% increase in the Topgolf and Golf Equipment segments, respectively.

Income from operations decreased $13.6 million on a GAAP basis and $16.6 million on a non-GAAP basis. The decrease was largely driven by a $12.6 million decrease in Active Lifestyle operating income, partially offset by increases in Golf Equipment and Topgolf operating income. 

Net income decreased $18.5 million on a GAAP basis and $17.4 million on a non-GAAP basis compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in operating income previously mentioned.

Adjusted EBITDA of $160.9 million grew 2.3%, driven primarily by an $11.7 million increase at Topgolf.

FIRST QUARTER 2024 SEGMENT COMMENTARY

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

Topgolf

• Segment revenue increased $19.3 million or 4.8%, to $422.8 million, driven primarily by new venues.
• Same venue sales of -7% was in line with our expectations and reflects lapping a post-COVID surge in the corporate events business in Q1 2023 and, separately, extreme weather during January 2024.
• Segment operating income increased $0.1 million to $2.9 million and Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $11.7 million, or 24.3%, to $59.8 million primarily due to increased revenue from new venues and improved venue level margins.

Golf Equipment

• Segment revenue increased $6.2 million or 1.4% to $449.9 million, primarily due to strong sales from our recent Chrome Tour ball launches as well as the strength of our new Ai Smoke golf clubs.
• Segment operating income increased $0.5 million, primarily due to increased operating efficiencies.

Active Lifestyle

• Segment revenue decreased $48.7 million or 15.2% to $271.5 million resulting primarily from lower wholesale revenue at Jack Wolfskin driven primarily by a soft macro backdrop in Europe as well as a corporate channel sell-in at TravisMathew which occurred during the first quarter of 2023 and did not recur in Q1 2024, as expected.
• Segment operating income decreased $12.6 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:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

2024 BALANCE SHEET HIGHLIGHTS

• Inventory decreased $226.9 million year-over-year to $702.9 million.
• The Company repriced its Term Loan B, reducing its interest rate by 60 basis points, which is expected to result in annualized interest expense savings of approximately $7 million based upon current outstanding principal amounts.
• Since its last earnings call, the Company has repurchased one million shares of its common stock for a total cost of $16.1 million.
• The Company announced plans to accelerate the repayment of the outstanding principal of its Term Loan B with a $50 million partial prepayment at the end of May.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The Company's updated outlook reflects increased foreign currency headwinds, and higher levels of inventory at retail and softer market conditions in Europe negatively impacting the Jack Wolfskin business. Despite these headwinds, the Company is maintaining its Adjusted EBITDA outlook. The Company is also increasing its earnings per share expectations by $0.05 cents per share to reflect the repricing of its term loan, planned repayment of $50 million in term loan debt and improved cash flow. The 2024 projections set forth below are based on the Company's best estimates at this time.

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 and depreciation of acquired intangible assets and purchase accounting adjustments. For 2024, non-recurring items include charges related to our debt repricing, costs related to a 2023 cybersecurity incident, 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, restructuring and reorganization charges in our Topgolf and Active Lifestyle segments and costs related to a 2023 cybersecurity incident.

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.
