CARLSBAD, Calif., Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (the "Company" or "Topgolf Callaway Brands") (NYSE: MODG) announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

"This quarter our team once again delivered solid operating results across all segments of our business.  Both Golf Equipment and Active Lifestyle had strong quarters while Topgolf, despite same venue sales that were lower than expected, was able to expand venue margins, an impressive accomplishment in a challenging quarter, and remains on track to successfully open 11 new venues in 2023," commented Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Topgolf Callaway Brands.  "With current same venue sales trends and foreign exchange rates, we are lowering our forward guidance and taking decisive action to lower both costs as well as capital expenditures and to drive additional synergies across our business.  All of this is aimed at de-risking future performance while maintaining our strong growth prospects.  We remain on plan to deliver positive free cash flow for the total Company and Topgolf this year and we are confident that we will continue to profitably grow our business this year and going forward."

THIRD QUARTER 2023 SEGMENT COMMENTARY

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

Topgolf

• Segment revenue increased $33.9 million or 8.2%, to $447.7 million, driven by new venues, partially offset by lower-than-expected same venue sales which declined 3%, primarily due to a post-Covid surge in the corporate events business last year.
• Segment operating income increased $15.3 million to $38.9 million and Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $26.7 million (or 41.6%) to $90.9 million due to increased revenues and improved operational efficiencies in the venues.

Golf Equipment

• Segment revenue decreased $3.3 million or 1.1% (1.5% decrease on a constant currency basis) to $293.4 million, primarily due to an expected shift in timing of golf club launches from Q3 2023 to Q4 2023 as well as a decrease in golf ball sales due to a post-Covid inventory fill-in at retail in Q3 2022 and was partially offset by an increase in pricing.
• Segment operating income decreased $14.4 million (or 29.0%) due to less product launching in Q3, a return to more normalized promotional levels and lower unit volumes resulting in unfavorable cost absorption.

Active Lifestyle

• Segment revenue increased $21.5 million or 7.7% (6.2% increase on a constant currency basis) to $299.5 million, primarily due to strong double-digit growth at TravisMathew, including new store openings, as well as growth at Jack Wolfskin.
• Segment operating income increased $11.9 million (or 42.3%) driven by increases in revenue and gross margin, related to a higher mix of direct-to-consumer business and lower freight costs.

The following is a reconciliation of total segment operating income to income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

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 2023, non-recurring items include legal costs and credit agency fees relating to, and debt modification costs in connection with, the 2023 debt refinancing, IT integration and implementation costs stemming from acquisitions, restructuring and reorganization charges in our Active Lifestyle segment, non-recurring IT costs associated with a cybersecurity incident and the release of tax valuation allowances. For 2022, non-recurring items include legal costs and credit agency fees related to a postponed debt refinancing, IT integration and implementation costs associated with new ERP systems primarily related to the Topgolf merger and non-cash asset write-downs.

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.

For forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share, free cash flow, 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

Free cash flow. The Company defines 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.

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.
