“We may be adversely affected by legal or governmental proceedings brought by or on behalf of guests, Playmakers, suppliers, commercial partners, franchisees or others through private actions, class actions, administrative proceedings, regulatory actions or other litigation. The outcome of such proceedings, particularly class actions and regulatory actions, is difficult to assess or quantify. …”see in full comparison
“The profitability of the venues business line depends in part on our ability to anticipate and react to changes in product costs. The price and availability of food commodities and other supplies may be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including changes in general economic conditions, seasonal economic fluctuations, increased competition, general inflation, shortages or supply interruptions due to weather, disease (which may include, among others, the COVID-19 pandemic and H5N1 avian influenza) or other factors, food safety concerns, product recalls, fluctuations in the U.S. …”see in full comparison
“In addition, if Topgolf’s performance deteriorates due to macroeconomic conditions, seasonality, weather events, cost inflation, staffing shortages and wage pressures, venue selection challenges, permitting or construction delays, lease or real estate cost increases, guest health and safety events, supply chain disruptions, technology outages or cyber/privacy incidents, international expansion challenges, changes in laws and regulations or other venue‑level factors, the value of our investment could decline, and we could be required to record non‑cash charges, including impairments, that …”see in full comparison
An asset is considered to be impaired when its carrying value exceeds its fair value. We determine the fair value of an asset based upon the discounted cash flows expected to be realized from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. If in conducting an impairment evaluation we determine that the carrying value of an asset exceeded its fair value, we would be required to record a non-cash impairment charge for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset.see in full comparisonFor example, during the fourth quarter of 2024 we conducted our annual assessment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for all of our reporting units. During our assessment, we determined that the carrying value of the Topgolf reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge $1,352.4 million and a trade name impairment charge of $99.6 million to write-down the Topgolf trade name to its new estimated fair value. (See Note 9 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for further information.)If a significant amount of our goodwill and intangible assets were deemed to be impaired, our results of operations and shareholders’ equity would be significantly adversely affected. In particular, with respect to our Topgolf investment, if Topgolf’s performance were to deteriorate for any reason, or if Topgolf were to incur losses, the value of our investment could decline, and we could be required to record non‑cash charges, including impairments, that would adversely affect our results of operations and shareholders’ equity.
“With respect to our Topgolf business, our ability to fund the construction and opening of new venues may depend on our ability to fund or otherwise secure financing for the associated development costs. We have historically financed the construction of venues through third-party developer or real estate financing companies. In these cases, while we are still required to fund a portion of venue development costs ourselves, our financing partner will purchase or lease the land and fund a majority of venue development costs during and after construction, which reduces our required capital outlay. …”see in full comparison
“We define same venue sales as sales for the comparable venue base, which consists of the number of Company-owned and operated venues with 24 or more full fiscal months of operations as of the year of comparison. Same venue sales is a key performance indicator used within our industry, including by investors and industry analysts, and is indicative of acceptance of our initiatives as well as local economic and consumer trends. …”see in full comparison

Certain Factors Affecting Topgolf Callaway BrandsGolf Company
Our products and entertainment offerings are recreational in nature and are therefore discretionary purchases for consumers. In addition, our Topgolf venues business is dependent upon consumer and corporate discretionary spending on leisure and entertainment-based offerings. Consumers are generally more willing to make discretionary purchases of golf products and to spend on leisure and out-of-home entertainment during favorable economic conditions and when consumers are feeling confident and prosperous. As a result, demand for our products is highly sensitive to downturns in the economy and the corresponding impact on discretionary consumer spending. Any actual or perceived deterioration or weakness in general, regional or local economic conditions, unemployment levels, the job or housing markets, consumer debt levels or consumer confidence, as well as other adverse economic or market conditions due to inflation or otherwise may lead to customers having less discretionary income to spend on entertainment and recreational activities, and may result in significant fluctuations and spending patterns year to year. Discretionary spending is also affected by many other factors, including general business conditions, interest rates, the availability of consumer credit, taxes and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. A significant or prolonged decline in general economic conditions, a period of lower discretionary spending or disposable income, or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that adversely affect consumer discretionary spending, whether in the United States or in our international markets,internationally, could result in reduced sales of our products and reduce demand and spending on our entertainment offerings,products, which in turn would have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our revenue growth and profitability are impacted by our same venue sales, which have recently declined, and there are material risks to our ability to increase such sales.
We define same venue sales as sales for the comparable venue base, which consists of the number of Company-owned and operated venues with 24 or more full fiscal months of operations as of the year of comparison. Same venue sales is a key performance indicator used within our industry, including by investors and industry analysts, and is indicative of acceptance of our initiatives as well as local economic and consumer trends. The level of same venue sales, which accounted for approximately 72.4%, 72.1% and 73.5% of Topgolf segment revenue for fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, will affect revenue growth in our business and will continue to be a critical factor affecting our profitability because the profit margin on same venue sales is generally higher than the profit margin on new venue sales as new venues incur preopening expenses and the venue operators become more knowledgeable over time and develop more experience managing the venue. The change in our same venue sales decreased Topgolf segment revenues by $123.3 million in the 2024 fiscal year and increased Topgolf segment revenues by $9.2 million and $117.8 million for fiscal years 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our ability to increase same venue sales depends in part on our ability to successfully implement our initiatives to build sales and continue to operate our business. The success of any such initiative may be affected by a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including perceptions of our brand, competition, our ability to increase prices without adversely impacting traffic counts, our ability to execute our marketing strategies and their effectiveness, and changes in consumer tastes and preferences and discretionary spending, which may occur for a number of reasons outside of our control, including an economic downturn or slower economic growth, weather and changes in government regulations, among others. As a result, there is no guarantee that management initiatives to increase same venue sales will be successful, and it is possible that we will not achieve our target same venue sales growth or that the change in same venue sales could be negative, which may cause a decrease in sales growth and profitability. Additionally, we may fall short of investor and analyst expectations, which could have a negative impact on the price of our common stock. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We generate a substantiallarge portionmajority of our revenues from the sale of golf-related products, including golf clubs, golf balls, golf-related soft goods and golf accessories.
The demand for golf-related products in general, and golf balls in particular, as well as the demand for golf-related soft goods, is directly related to the number of golf participants and the number of rounds of golf being played by these participants. Golf participation is impacted by, among other things, the demographics (including age of golfers), dedication levels, weather and economic conditions. If golf participation decreases or the number of rounds of golf played decreases, the overall dollar volume of the market for golf-related products may not grow or may decline and sales of our products may be adversely affected. Further, we generate substantial revenue from our Topgolf business. The demand for golf and overall popularity of the sport, including through increased off-course golf participation, is tangentially related to overall guest traffic and spending at each of the Topgolf venues, and therefore, if demand for golf or the overall popularity of the sport decreases, Topgolf sales could be adversely affected.
In addition, the demand for golf products, golf entertainmentproducts and other soft goods and apparel is directly related to the popularity of magazines,publications, cabletelevision channelschannels, social media and other media dedicated to golf, television coverage of golf tournaments and attendance at golf events. We depend on the exposure of our products through advertising and the media or at golf tournaments and events. Any significant reduction in television coverage of, or attendance at, golf tournaments and events or any significant reduction in the popularity of golf magazines or golf television channels, could reduce the visibility of our brand and could adversely affect our sales.
In order for us to significantly grow our sales of golf clubs or golf balls, we must either increase our share of the market for golf clubs or golf balls, develop markets in geographic regions historically underrepresented by our products, or the overall market for golf clubs or golf balls must grow. We already have a significant share of worldwide sales of golf clubs and golf ballsballs, and the golf industry is very competitive. As such, gaining incremental market share quickly or at all is difficult. Therefore, opportunities for additional market share may be limited given the challenging and competitive nature of the golf industry, and the overall dollar volume of worldwide sales of golf clubs or golf balls may not grow or may decline.
A significant amount of our products are manufactured in Mexico, China, Vietnam and Bangladesh and other regions outside of the United States. Recently, the U.S. government has implemented substantial changes to U.S. trade policies, including increased tariffs and changes to multilateral trade agreements. Additionally, President Trump has directed various federal agencies to further evaluate key aspects of U.S. trade policy and there has been ongoing discussion and commentary regarding potential significant changes to U.S. trade policies, treaties and tariffs. U.S. trade policy continues to evolve in this regard. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the U.S. These changes could prevent or make it difficult or more expensive for us to obtain the components needed for new products, which could affect our sales. Tariff increases could either negatively impact our costs or require us to increase our prices, which likely would decrease customer demand for our products. Retaliatory tariff and trade measures imposed by other countries could affect our ability to export products and therefore adversely affect our sales. Any significant changes in current U.S. trade or other policies that restrict imports or increase import tariffs could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations.
We may face increased labor costs or labor shortages, in particular with respect to our Topgolf venues business, that could slow growth and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Labor is a significant component in the cost of operating our business generally, and a primary component in operating our Topgolf venues business. If we face labor shortages or increased labor costs because of increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover rates, the impact of pandemics, increases in the federally-mandated or state-mandated minimum wage, changes in exempt and non-exempt status, or other employee benefits costs (including costs associated with health insurance coverage or workers’ compensation insurance), our operating expenses could increase and our growth could be adversely affected.
In particular, we have a substantial number of Playmakers who are paid wage rates at or based on the applicable federal or state minimum wage, and increases in the applicable minimum wage will increase labor costs. From time to time, legislative proposals are made to increase the minimum wage at the federal or state level. As federal, state or other applicable minimum wage rates increase, we may be required to increase not only the wage rates of minimum wage Playmakers or other employees, but also the wages paid to other hourly employees. It may not be possible to increase prices in order to pass future increased labor costs on to customers, in which case our margins would be negatively affected. With respect to our Topgolf business, reduced margins could make it more difficult to attract new franchisees and to retain existing franchisee relationships. If we are able to increase prices to cover increased labor costs, the higher prices could result in lower participation and therefore lower revenues, which may also reduce margins, as well as the fees received from our franchisees.
Furthermore, the successful operation of our business depends upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain a sufficient number of qualified executives, managers and skilled employees. From time to time, there may be a shortage of skilled labor in certain of the communities in which we operate, including where our venues are located. Shortages of skilled labor may make it increasingly difficult and expensive to attract, train and retain the services of a satisfactory number of qualified employees, which, with respect to Topgolf, could delay the planned openings of new Company-owned and operated and franchised venues and adversely impact the operations and profitability of existing venues. Furthermore, competition for qualified employees, particularly in markets where such shortages exist, could require us to pay higher wages, which could result in higher labor costs. In particular, we experience intense competition to attract and retain skilled game developers and content creators, and failure to do so may delay the implementation of our business strategy and growth plans. We have also historically experienced relatively high turnover rates, which may also result in higher labor and training costs. Accordingly, if we are unable to recruit and retain sufficiently qualified individuals, our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.
Some, but not all, of our employees are currently covered under collective bargaining agreements. In the future, additional employees, including Playmakers, may elect to be represented by labor unions. If a significant number of additional employees were to become unionized and collective bargaining agreement terms were significantly different from current compensation arrangements, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, a labor dispute involving some or all employees may harm our reputation, disrupt operations and reduce revenue, and resolution of disputes may increase costs. Further, if we or our franchisees enter into a new market with unionized construction companies, or the construction companies in our or our franchisees’ current markets become unionized, construction and build-out costs for new venues in such markets could materially increase.
In addition, immigration reform continues to attract significant attention in the public arena and the U.S. Congress. If new immigration legislation is enacted, such laws may contain provisions that could increase our costs in recruiting, training and retaining employees.
We primarily sell our golf and apparel products to retailers and to foreign distributors. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally require no collateral from these customers. However, a severe or prolonged downturn in the general economy could adversely affect the retail market which in turn, would negatively impact the liquidity and cash flows of customers, including the ability of such customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of our products and to pay their trade obligations. A failure by our customers to pay on a timely basis a significant portion of outstanding accountaccounts receivable balances would adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Topgolf. Our Topgolf business operates primarily in the consumer entertainment industry, which remains highly competitive. Consumers today have a wide variety of options when deciding how to spend their leisure time and discretionary entertainment dollars. Our venues compete for consumers’ time and discretionary entertainment dollars against a broad range of other out-of-home entertainment options, as well as increasingly sophisticated forms of home-based entertainment. Other out-of-home entertainment options against which we compete include other dining and entertainment venues, sports activity centers, traditional driving ranges and other establishments offering simulated golf or multi-sport experiences (including Toptracer Range and Swing Suite licensees), arcades and entertainment centers, movie theaters, sporting events, bowling alleys, nightclubs, casinos, bars and restaurants. In many cases, these businesses, or the entities operating them, are larger than us and have significantly greater financial resources and name recognition, longer operating histories, and concepts with which consumers may be more familiar, and are better established in the markets where venues are located or are planned to be located. As a result, these competitors may be able to invest greater resources or implement more aggressive strategies to attract consumers, including with respect to pricing, and, accordingly, may succeed in attracting those who would otherwise come to our venues, causing us to lose market share or sales, or forcing us to reduce our prices to meet the competition. Home-based entertainment options against which our venues compete include internet and video gaming, as well as movies, television and other on-demand content from streaming services. Further, in some cases consumer demand has shifted towards home-based entertainment options and away from out-of-home entertainment, including our venues, which may result in greater competition from home-based entertainment options in the future. The failure of our venues to compete favorably against these other out-of-home and home-based entertainment options could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We also face intense competition across our other Topgolf business lines. In particular, the International business line competes against other companies to attract and retain qualified franchisees. We also compete against other businesses seeking corporate sponsorships and other commercial partners, such as sports teams, entertainment events and television and digital media outlets, and compete against television and digital content providers seeking advertiser or sponsorship income. Our Topgolf growth strategy and prospects will be materially impaired if we are unable to compete successfully in these aspects of our business.
Golf Equipment & Active Lifestyle. We compete against well-known large-scale global golf equipment and apparel manufacturers and retailers, many of whom have significant competitive strengths, including long operating histories, a large and broad consumer base, established customer and supplier relationships, strong brand recognition and greater financial, research and development, distribution, and other resources. There are unique aspects to the competitive dynamic in each of our product categories and markets. Pricing pressures, reduced profit margins or loss of market share or failure to grow in any of our markets, due to competition or otherwise, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In our ActiveApparel, LifestyleGear and Other segment, we face significant competition in every region with respect to each of our product categories and offerings. In most cases, we are not the market leader with respect to our apparel, gear and accessory markets, and many of our competitors have significant competitive advantages, including longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and greater financial resources. Our competitors may be willing to discount prices and accept lower profit margins to compete with us and, as a result, we may lose market share and sales, or be forced to reduce our prices to meet competition.
We operate retail locations of our TravisMathew, Jack Wolfskin and golf apparel businesses, which are subject to various factors that pose risks and uncertainties and which could adversely impact our financial condition and operating results. Such factors include, but are not limited to, macro-economic factors that could have an adverse effect on retail activity generally; our ability to successfully manage retail operations and a disparate retail workforce across various jurisdictions; our ability to successfully open and maintain new retail stores in new markets; governmental restrictions or public safety measures resulting in such retail stores operating in a more limited capacity and with fewer in-person customers; to manage costs associated with retail store operations and fluctuations in the value of retail inventory; to manage relationships with existing retail partners; and to obtain and renew leases in quality retail locations at a reasonable cost and on reasonable and customary terms.
The growth strategy for our Topgolf business depends in part on our ability to open new venues in existing and new markets.
A key element of the growth strategy for our Topgolf business is to open additional venues in locations that we believe will provide attractive unit economics and returns on investment. We plan to open additional new Topgolf venues across flexible venue formats in the years to come. In addition, we have signed development agreements with various partners to open additional franchised Topgolf venues in countries across the world.
Our ability to open new venues on a timely and cost-effective basis, or at all, is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including our ability to:
•identify and successfully compete against other potential lessees or purchasers to secure quality locations;
•reach acceptable agreements regarding the lease or purchase of locations;
•secure acceptable financing arrangements;
•comply with applicable zoning, licensing, land use and environmental regulations;
•overcome litigation or other opposition efforts brought by special interest groups;
•raise or have available an adequate amount of money for construction and opening costs;
•respond to unforeseen construction, engineering, environmental or other problems;
•avoid or mitigate the impact of inclement weather, natural disasters and other calamities;
•respond to infectious diseases, health epidemics and pandemics;
•timely hire, train and retain the skilled management and other Playmakers necessary to meet staffing needs;
•obtain, in a timely manner and for acceptable cost, required licenses, permits and regulatory approvals, including liquor licenses, and respond effectively to any changes in local, state or federal law and regulations that adversely affect costs or ability to open new venues;
•obtain building materials, including steel, and construction labor on a cost-effective basis; and
•efficiently manage the amount of time and money used to build and open each new venue.
We may elect to open new venues in or near markets in which we already have venues, which could adversely affect the sales at our existing venues. Existing venues may make it more difficult to build our consumer base at a new venue in the same market. We generally do not open new venues that we believe will materially affect sales at our existing venues, but we may selectively open venues in and around areas of existing venues if we believe a new venue will more effectively serve our customers. Sales cannibalization between our venues may become significant in the future as we continue to expand our operations and could affect our sales growth, which could, in turn, materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
In addition, we have relied, and expect to continue to rely, primarily on the services of a single design/build contractor for the construction of our venues. For venues in certain locations, our reliance on this contractor may result in additional costs or delay. Though we believe we would be able to find one or more replacements if we were to lose our relationship with this contractor or if their services otherwise became unavailable, there can be no guarantee that we would be able to do so without incurring additional costs and delay, or that the terms of arrangements with any such replacement would not be less favorable to us.
There can be no guarantee that a sufficient number of suitable venue sites will be available in desirable areas or on terms that are acceptable to us in order to achieve our growth plan, or that we will be successful in addressing the other risks inherent in our business that will allow us to open new venues in a timely and cost-effective manner or at all. If we are unable to open new venues, or if venue openings are significantly delayed or face other obstacles, our revenues could be adversely affected and our business negatively impacted.
New venues, once opened, may not be profitable or may close, which would adversely affect our business as well as our financial condition and results of operations and ability to execute our growth strategy.
Even if we succeed in opening new venues on a timely and cost-effective basis, there can be no guarantee that the profitability of these venues will be in line with that of existing venues or the performance targets we have set. New venues may even operate at a loss or close after a short operating period, which could have a significant adverse effect on our overall operating results. Historically, new venues often experience an initial start-up period with considerable sales volumes, which subsequently decrease to stabilized levels after their first year of operation, followed by changes in same venue sales in line with the rest of our comparable venue base, although there can be no assurance that the same venue sales of any new venues opened in the future will move in line with the rest of our comparable venue base or that a new venue will succeed in the long term. Our ability to operate new venues profitably may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
•general economic conditions, which can affect venue traffic, local labor costs, costs of construction materials and prices for food products and other supplies to varying degrees in the markets in which venues are located;
•changes in consumer preferences and discretionary spending;
•difficulties obtaining or maintaining adequate relationships with distributors or suppliers in a given market;
•inefficiency in labor costs and operations as newly hired Playmakers gain experience;
•competition from other out-of-home entertainment options, including existing venues, as well as a variety of home-based entertainment options;
•temporary or permanent site characteristics of new venues;
•changes in government regulation, including required licenses, permits and regulatory approvals, including liquor licenses;
•the impact of infectious diseases, health epidemics and pandemics on factors impacting our business, including but not limited to changes in consumer preferences and discretionary spending, the ability and cost of suppliers to deliver required products and health and public safety regulations; and
•other unanticipated increases in costs, any of which may impair profitability at a specific venue or more broadly.
Furthermore, as part of our longer-term growth strategy, we may open venues in geographic markets in which we have little or no operating experience. These and other markets that we enter may have different competitive conditions, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns than existing markets, which may cause new venues to be less successful or profitable than venues in existing markets. The challenges of opening venues in new markets include, among other things: difficulties in hiring experienced personnel, lack of familiarity with local real estate markets and demographics, lack of familiarity with local legal and regulatory requirements, different competitive and economic conditions, and consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns that may be more difficult to predict or satisfy than in existing markets. In addition, our marketing and advertising programs may not be successful in generating brand awareness in all local markets, and lack of market awareness of the Topgolf brand may pose additional risks. Venues opened in new markets may open at lower average weekly revenues than venues opened in existing markets, and may have higher venue-level operating expense ratios than venues in existing markets. Sales at venues opened in new markets may also take longer to reach expected revenue levels, if they are able to do so at all, thereby adversely affecting overall profitability. Any failure to recognize or respond effectively to these challenges may adversely affect the success of any new venues and impair our ability to grow our business.
Our activeapparel, lifestylegear and Topgolfother venuesbusiness businesses facefaces risks associated with changedchanging consumer tastes and preferences and fashion trends.
Our expandingapparel, activegear lifestyleand other business and our Topgolf venues business areis subject to pressures from changing consumer tastes and preferences on a global level and, as a result, we are dependent on our ability to timely introduce products and services that anticipate and/or satisfy such preferences.
With respect to Topgolf, consumer and corporate discretionary spending on entertainment and leisure is affected by consumer tastes and preferences, which are subject to change, and there can be no guarantee that golf-oriented entertainment will continue to appeal to consumers. Any decline in guest traffic, guest spending, or both, in our Topgolf venues, whether resulting from unfavorable economic conditions or changes in consumer preferences, will reduce revenue in our Topgolf venues business, impair the value of the Topgolf brand and impact our ability to attract new franchisees, licensees and commercial partners and generate sponsorship revenue, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.
With respect to our active lifestyle business, changesChanges in consumer preferences, consumer purchasing behavior, consumer interest in recreational or other outdoor activities, and fashion trends could have a significant effect on our sales. Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate, gauge and react to changing consumer demands and buying patterns in a timely manner. However, significant lead times for many of our products, including OGIO,Callaway TravisMathewGolf, OGIO and Jack Wolfskin-brandedTravisMathew-branded products, may make it more difficult for us to respond rapidly to new or changing product trends or consumer preferences. All of our products are subject to changing consumer preferences that cannot be predicted with certainty. Our new products may not receive consumer acceptance as consumer preferences could shift rapidly to different types of lifestyle products or away from these types of products altogether, and our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes. In addition, decisions about product designs often are made far in advance of consumer acceptance. If we or our customers fail to anticipate and respond to consumer preferences or fail to respond in a timely manner or if we or our customers are unable to effectively navigate a transforming retail marketplace, we could suffer reputational damage to our products and brands and may experience lower sales, excess inventories and lower profit margins in current and future periods, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our golf equipment business and our activeapparel, lifestylegear and other business each have a concentrated customer base. The loss of one or more of our top customers could have a significant effect on our sales.
On a consolidated basis, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues in 2024,2025, 2023,2024 or 2022.2023. Our top five customers accounted for approximately 11%21%, 22% and 23% of our consolidated revenues in 2024,2025, 2024 and approximately2023, 12% of our consolidated revenue in 2023 and 2022.respectively.

Divestitures of Topgolf and Jack Wolfskin
In 2025, we executed a strategic realignment to focus on our core Golf Equipment and complementary soft goods businesses. On May 31, 2025, we sold the Jack Wolfskin business to a subsidiary of ANTA Sports Products Limited for approximately $290.0 million, net of cash retained and customary working capital adjustments. On November 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell a 60% stake in our Topgolf and Toptracer businesses to private equity funds managed by Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., at an equity value of approximately $1,100.0 million. The transaction closed effective January 1, 2026, with the Company retaining a 40% interest in Topgolf, which will be accounted for under the equity method. In connection with the sale and related financing transactions, we received approximately $800.0 million in net proceeds, after working capital adjustments and transaction expenses, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.
As a result of these divestitures, the operating results of Jack Wolfskin and Topgolf are reported in discontinued operations for all periods presented in this Form 10-K.
Intent to Separate into Two Independent Companies
In September 2024, we announced a strategic plan to pursue a separation of our business into two independent companies: Callaway, a leader in golf equipment with a highly complementary Active Lifestyle business; and Topgolf, a category leading, high-growth, pure-play venue-based golf entertainment business. We expect to effect the separation through a spin-off of the Topgolf business to our shareholders in a transaction that is intended to be tax-free to both us and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. While we expect that a spin-off of Topgolf into a stand-alone public company is the most likely separation path, we will continue to evaluate other options for separation in order to maximize shareholder value. We expect to complete the spin-off of Topgolf in the second half of 2025, but there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing, terms, or form of the separation, or that the separation will ultimately occur.
We believe that creating two companies will result in material benefits to the stand-alone businesses that will maximize shareholder value, including enhanced strategic focus, optimized capital allocation, simplified operating structure and a distinct investment thesis for each company that would allow investors to have the opportunity to support and invest in each business on the basis of its distinct qualities.
Sell-through promotions such as price reductions and price concessions are short-term sales programs that are generally offered throughout the product’s life cycle, which is approximately two years, and are generally offered at the end of the product’s life cycle. We calculate an estimated rate related to these programs which is based on a combination of historical and forecasted data. We record a reduction to net revenuessales using this rate at the time of the sale and monitor this rate against actual results and forecasted estimates. Adjustments to the rate are made as necessary in order to reflect the amount of consideration we expect to receive from our customers. If the actual amount of variable consideration is significantly different than our accrued estimates, we may be exposed to adjustments to revenue that could be material. Assuming there had been a 10% increase in the rate used to record sales program incentives, pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 20242025 would have decreased by approximately $2.0$1.5 million.
We apply the guidance within Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, when accounting for our acquisitions to determine whether a transaction is the acquisition of assets, or the acquisition of a business on the date of the acquisition. Asset acquisitions are accounted for by allocating the cost of the acquisition to the individual assets and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis; whereas the acquisition of a business requires us to recognize separately from goodwill the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date fair values. Additionally, the acquisition of a business requires us to make significant estimates and judgementsjudgments when assigning fair value to any assets and liabilities assumed. We may use, amongst other things, certain estimates related to expected future revenues, growth rates, cash flows, discount rates and uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances to assign a value to certain acquired assets. If we receive new information within the 12 month allowable measurement period about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date, we may adjust the purchase price allocation in the reporting period in which the amounts are determined. Any subsequent adjustments recorded after the conclusion of the allowable 12 month measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations.
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
A business is classified as held for sale when management having the authority to approve the action commits to a plan to sell the business, the business is available for immediate sale in its present condition and an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated. Additionally, the sale must be probable to occur during the next 12 months at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and actions required to complete the plan indicate it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or the plan will be withdrawn. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of (i) its carrying amount and (ii) estimated fair value less costs to sell. When the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less costs to sell, a loss is recognized and updated each reporting period as appropriate. Assets held for sale are not further depreciated or amortized once such a determination is reached.
The results of operations of businesses classified as held for sale are reported as discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results. When a business is identified for discontinued operations reporting: (i) results for prior periods are retrospectively reclassified as discontinued operations; (ii) results of operations are reported in a single line, net of tax, in the consolidated statement of operations; and (iii) assets and liabilities are retrospectively reclassified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets starting in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale.
During 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell a 60% stake in the Topgolf and Toptracer businesses and we completed a sale of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of the Jack Wolfskin business. We determined the disposals represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, the results of Topgolf and Jack Wolfskin are presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented and their related assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. We ceased depreciating and amortizing our long-lived assets and intangible assets for both the Topgolf and Jack Wolfskin businesses when they met the held for sale criteria, which primarily includes property and equipment, right-of-use assets and amortizing intangible assets. In addition, we determined that the carrying amount of the Topgolf disposal group exceeded its fair value less cost to sell, which was determined using the equity value of Topgolf in connection with the sale, and recorded a write-down on the related assets and liabilities of $143.1 million within discontinued operations, net of tax on the consolidated statement of operations. Also, in connection with the sale of the Jack Wolfskin business, we recognized a pre-tax loss of $26.2 million. See Note 4. “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for additional information.
In accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, we evaluate the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually or more frequently whenever indicators are present that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine fair value, we use discounted cash flow estimates, quoted market prices, royalty rates when available and independent appraisals as appropriate. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve significant uncertainties and judgements.judgments. We use our best judgment based on current facts and circumstances related to our business when making these estimates, however, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates and assumptions used in calculating future cash flows and asset fair values, we may be exposed to impairment losses that could be material. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. An impairment loss is recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the asset and a charge to earnings in the period in which the impairment loss occurred.
We perform our goodwill impairment assessment at the reporting unit level using a combination of an income approach and a market approach. The income approach valuation method requires us to make projections of revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, and working capital over a multi-year period, and also includes weighted-average cost of capital estimates, which reflect the relative risk of an investment. The market approach valuation method determines fair value by utilizing earnings multiples of comparable public companies or interests, which reflect the market in which each relative reporting unit operates, as well as recent comparable market transactions. We did not record any impairments on goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2025.
As a result of our goodwill impairment assessment performed as of December 31, 2024, we recorded a goodwill impairment of $1,352.4 million. The impairment was driven by a combination of factors, including macroeconomic conditions which have put downward pressure on consumer and corporate discretionary spending, resulting in negative same venue sales and fewer projected future venue openings than were previously planned in the near term. We will continuously monitor each of our reporting units for any risk of future impairments which may occur if our current expectations of prospective results of operations, which may be influenced by market conditions and other factors, change.
For our indefinite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of our trade names, we estimate fair value based on an income approach using the relief-from-royalty method which assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third-party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to derive a benefit from the trade name. This approach includes reviewing current licensing agreements, market benchmarking and performing branded product profitability assessments, among other factors, to assign an estimated royalty rate. Once a royalty rate is assigned, a discount rate is applied to the estimated future cash flows of the asset in order to determine the fair value of the trade names. As a result of our intangible asset impairment assessment performed as of December 31, 2024,2025, we determined that the fair value of our Topgolf tradename was impaired, and as a result, we recorded an impairment loss of $99.6$284.0 million to write down the Topgolf tradename to its new estimated fair value. See Note 4. “Discontinued Operations” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-K for additional information.
Our income tax provision/benefit and related income tax assets and liabilities are based on a combination of actual and expected future income, U.S. federal and foreign statutory income tax rates, and tax regulations and planning opportunities in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgementjudgment is required when interpreting the applicable tax laws and regulations in such jurisdictions, evaluating our uncertain tax positions, and assessing the likelihood of realizing tax benefits. We accrue an amount for our estimate of additional tax liability, including interest and penalties in income tax provision, for any uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. We review and update the accrual for uncertain tax positions as more definitive information becomes available. Actual results could differ from those judgements,judgments, and changes in judgementsjudgments could materially affect our consolidated financial statements.
Certain income and expense items are accounted for differently for financial reporting and income tax purposes where tax regulations may require certain items to be included in our tax return at different times than when these items may be reflected in our financial statements. As a result, the income tax provision or benefit reflected in our consolidated statements of operations may differ from our tax returns filed with the applicable taxing authorities. These differences may be permanent or temporary, depending on their nature and the applicable tax regulations related to them, and as such, may create deferred income tax assets and liabilities, which are recognized on our consolidated balance sheet. Deferred income tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future tax returns for which we have already recorded a tax benefit in our consolidated statements of operations. We may record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred income tax assets if, based on all available evidence, we believe that some portion of the tax benefit is not expectedmore likely than not to be realized.
•A constant currency measure on net revenuessales in order to demonstrate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on these results. This information represents an estimate for comparative purposes and is calculated by taking current period local currency results and translating them into U.S. dollars based on the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable prior period.
•Net income and diluted earnings per share excluding the non-cash amortization of purchase accounting adjustments associated with acquired intangible assets, including acquired customer and distributor relationships and acquired developed technology related to our merger with Topgolf, acquisitions of Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO, and distribution rights in the Korea apparel marketOGIO (collectively, the “Acquisitions”). While the amortization of these 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.
•Net income and diluted earnings per share excluding certain non-cash and non-recurring charges, as further detailed below. In addition, we have added back to certain of our non-GAAP results interest expenses relating to debt incurred at the corporate level that are categorized under discontinued operations in order to burden continuing operations with the full impact of the Company’s total term debt.

Our products and services are considered to be non-essential items and are therefore discretionary purchases for consumers. In addition, our Topgolf venues business also depends on corporate discretionary spending relative to its leisure and entertainment-based offerings. As a result, demand for our products isand highlyservices sensitivecould tobe impacted by downturns in the economy and the corresponding impact on discretionary consumer and corporate spending. During 2024, macroeconomicMacroeconomic factors including sustained inflation and high interest rates,rates whichcontinue continued into the fourth quarter andto put downward pressure on consumer and corporate discretionary spending.spending, in addition to the recent increase in tariffs. While we generally try to mitigate the impact of such macroeconomic factors by closely monitoring changes in consumer retail spending behavior and through the implementation of various strategic initiatives, the persistence of these trends may have an adverse impact on our operating results depending on the severity and length of the changes.
Tariffs
In 2025, the U.S. government implemented reciprocal tariffs on many countries, including many jurisdictions in which we do business. The U.S. government has announced and rescinded multiple tariffs on multiple foreign jurisdictions, which has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of tariffs on economic conditions. The reciprocal tariffs implemented in 2025 increased the costs for our products, product components and raw materials, a significant amount of which we source from outside the United States, including Vietnam, Taiwan, Mexico, Bangladesh and other regions. On February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (“IEEPA”). Following the Supreme Court’s decision, President Trump stated that he intends to use other authorities to invoke other laws to collect tariffs and announced new tariffs on imports from all countries. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended. If the U.S. government or other governments levy additional tariffs, or if governments continue to generate uncertainty regarding tariffs, the adverse impacts to the costs for, and availability of, our products, product components and raw materials, may continue to increase. Further, retaliatory tariffs may increase the costs of selling our products in foreign jurisdictions. As a result of tariff costs, we may need to raise our prices to pass costs on to customers, which may not be possible, or may decrease customer demand for our products. The near- and long-term impacts from these tariffs on our business are difficult to predict and depend on the amount, duration, scope and nature of the increases, however, we do expect tariffs to have a negative impact on our business and results of operations in and beyond 2026. We are actively monitoring the impact of any further tariffs that become effective, as well as any potential retaliatory actions by other countries, and are continuing to look for ways to mitigate these higher costs, including continuing to optimize operations and accelerating existing cost reduction and margin improvement programs. Nonetheless, the increases in U.S. and other countries’ tariffs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, including as a result of higher inflation in the markets in which we operate, an economic slowdown or general economic uncertainty.
A significant portion of our business is conducted outside of the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Therefore, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the effects that changes in foreign currency rates may have on our financial results. While these foreign currency forward contracts can mitigate the effects of changes in foreign currency rates in the short-term, they do not eliminate those effects, which can be significant, and they do not mitigate their effects over the long-term. These effects include (i) the translation of results denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes, (ii) the mark-to-market adjustments of certain intercompany balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies and (iii) the mark-to-market adjustments of our foreign currency forward contracts. In general, our overall financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which we conduct business. Fluctuations in foreign currencies had ana unfavorablefavorable impact on international net revenuessales of $18.2$0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, relative to the same period in the prior year, on a constant currency basis.
Sustained inflationaryInflationary pressure partiallymay contributedcontribute to the increase in the cost of our products as well as operating costs. While we weregenerally may be able to partiallyminimize offsetthe theseimpact of inflationary pressures by increasing the price of our products and services and through costhigher managementprices or other initiatives, the length and severity of these conditions are unpredictable, and should conditions persist and/or worsen, such inflationary pressures may have a furtheran adverse effect on our operating results.expenses. Further, we may not be able to offset these increased costs through price increases. As a result, our cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our products, services and brands are reported under threetwo operating segments: Topgolf, which includes the operations of our Topgolf business; Golf Equipment, which includes the operations of our golf clubs and golf balls business; and ActiveApparel, Lifestyle,Gear and Other, which includes the operations of our soft goods business marketed under the Callaway, TravisMathew, Jack WolfskinTravisMathew and OGIO brand names.

Results of Operations for Fiscal Year 2025 Compared to Fiscal Year 2024
We have reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation. Unless otherwise specified, our discussion below reflects continuing operations only. Prior period financial information related to discontinued operations has been reclassified and separately presented in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation.
Net sales and operating segment results (in millions, except percentages)
Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $17.6 million, or 0.8% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 due to a decrease in the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment, impacted by soft macroeconomic conditions primarily in the U.S. and Asia, while Golf Equipment sales were approximately flat. Segment operating income decreased $25.3 million or 8.9% driven by declines in both our Apparel, Gear and Other and Golf Equipment operating segment.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net sales in our Golf Equipment operating segment decreased $7.6 million (0.5%) compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to declines in golf club sales related to packaged set volumes and soft market conditions in Korea.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, Golf Equipment segment operating income decreased $13.6 million (7.4%) compared to the same period in 2024 primarily due to lower annual incentive compensation expense in 2024 and unfavorable impacts of approximately $22.0 million from tariffs, partially offset by an $8.2 million lease termination incentive received in Japan.
Apparel, Gear and Other
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net sales in our Apparel, Gear and Other segment decreased $10.0 million (1.4%) compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to a decline in sales of apparel and gear resulting from soft market conditions globally, partially offset by the continued expansion of TravisMathew product lines and the opening of new retail stores.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, Apparel, Gear and Other segment operating income decreased $11.7 million (11.8%) as compared to the same period in 2024 primarily driven by the decline in net sales and the unfavorable impacts from tariffs, partially offset by a decline in operating expenses mostly driven by a lease termination incentive received in Japan combined with cost savings initiatives.

Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 were as follows (in millions, except percentages):
The $45.5 million (1.1%) decrease in total net revenues was due to a decline in product revenue primarily in our Active Lifestyle operating segment, offset by an increase in services revenue in our Topgolf operating segment. The decline in product revenue in our Active Lifestyle segment was primarily driven by decreases in our Jack Wolfskin and TravisMathew product lines. The increase in service revenue in our Topgolf segment was driven by the opening of new venues partially offset by an 8.6% decrease in same venue sales.

Cost of productssales includes raw materials and component costs, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, inbound freight, dutiesduties, tariffs and shipping charges, and depreciation and amortization,amortization directly related to manufacturing and retail merchandise costs for products sold in retail shops within Topgolf venue facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2024, cost of products decreased $42.2 million (2.9%) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decreases were primarily due to lower sales in our Active Lifestyle and Golf Equipment operating segments.distribution.
Gross profit and gross margin
During the year ended December 31, 2025, gross profit decreased by $19.4 million (2.2%) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Gross profit as a percent of net sales (“gross margin”) decreased to 42.1% for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to lower sales in our Apparel, Gear and Other and Golf Equipment operating segments combined with the decrease in gross margins from the unfavorable impacts of tariffs.
Operating Expenses (in millions, except percentages)
Cost of Services, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization
Cost of services primarily consists of costs related to food and beverage sold at Topgolf venues and costs associated with Topgolf’s Toptracer license agreements that are primarily classified as sales-type leases. Food and beverage costs are variable in nature, fluctuate relative to sales volume, and are impacted by product mix and commodity pricing. Cost of services excludes employee costs as well as depreciation and amortization. The $0.1 million (0.1%) decrease in cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to a decline in Topgolf same venue sales, partially offset by the addition of new Company-owned and operated Topgolf venues.

In 2025, we executed a strategic realignment to focus on our core Golf Equipment and complementary soft goods businesses, which included the sale of Jack Wolfskin on May 31, 2025, for approximately $290.0 million and the sale of a 60% stake in our Topgolf and Toptracer business (“Topgolf”) based upon an equity value of approximately $1,100.0 million. The Topgolf transaction closed effective January 1, 2026, resulting in net proceeds to us of $818.8$820.1 million from the sale and related financing transactions, net of preliminary working capital adjustments and cash retained. Our remaining 40%39.3% interest in Topgolf (following the sale by Topgolf of additional dilutive units in April 2026, which decreased our non-controlling interest) is accounted for under the equity method.

Our products are discretionary purchases, and demand may be adversely affected by changes in macroeconomic conditions that impact consumer discretionary spending. These conditions include, among other factors, inflationary pressures, interest rate environments, and changes in trade policies or tariffs.tariffs, and geopolitical tensions that may create an uncertain environment for global trade and contribute to volatility in commodity, energy, and other input costs. While we seek to mitigate the effects of such factors through monitoring consumer spending behavior and implementing strategic initiatives, prolonged or severe adverse economic conditions could negatively impact our operating results.

We account for tariff refund claims as gain contingencies and recognize refunds when they are deemed realized or realizable. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, we recognized $10.8 million of tariff refunds related to previously paid IEEPA tariffs, with the associated benefit recorded within cost of sales in our results of operations. Despite the recognition of these refunds, significant uncertainty remains regarding future U.S. trade policy, including the potential for additional tariffs under alternative statutory authorities, the outcome of ongoing legal proceedings, and the possibility of further changes to tariff rates, scope, duration and enforcement. The ultimate amount, if any, and timing of additional tariff refunds remain subject to ongoing legal, regulatory and administrative proceedings.

These decreases were primarily driven by cash used in financing activities from continuing operations, largely reflecting the partialfull repayment of our term loan induring Januarythe 2026,period, which was funded by cash proceeds from the sale of Topgolf and cash on hand. We also used cash in financing activities to repurchase shares of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase program. In addition, cash usedprovided inby operating activities from continuing operations increased,increased whichdue primarily reflects working capital changes associated with normal seasonal fluctuations andto the strong performance of the business. We believe that our cash on hand and existing sources of capital are adequate to fund our future operations, as necessary.

Our accounts receivable balance fluctuates throughout the year as a result of the general seasonality of our business, and is also affected by the timing of new product launches. With respect to our Golf Equipment business, accounts receivable are generally the highest during the first and second quarters during the seasonal peak in the golf industry, and generally decline significantly during the third and fourth quarters as a result of an increase in cash collections combined with lower seasonal sales. With respect to our Apparel, Gear and Other business, accounts receivable balances for our TravisMathew and OGIO businesses are more evenly distributed throughout the year while accounts receivable balances for our Callaway soft good brand are subject to the same general seasonality as our Golf Equipment business. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our consolidated net accounts receivable increased to $393.8$315.7 million from $123.2 million at December 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflects the seasonality of Golf Equipment net sales in the first quarter.and second quarters. Net accounts receivable as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 increaseddecreased $33.6$15.9 million compared to MarchJune 31,30, 2025, primarily due to higherlower net sales.sales in the latter half of the second quarter of 2026 combined with improved cash collections.
Our inventory balance fluctuates throughout the year as a result of the general seasonality of our Golf Equipment business, and is also affected by the timing of new product launches. With respect to our Golf Equipment business, the buildup of inventory generally begins during the fourth quarter and continues into the first quarter and beginning of the second quarter in order to meet increased demand during the golf season. Inventory levels are also impacted by the timing of new product launches as well as the success of new products. With respect to our Apparel, Gear and Other business, inventory levels are generally less affected by seasonality due to the diversification of product offerings for these brands. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our inventory decreased $28.9$107.1 million to $596.4$518.2 million, compared to December 31, 2025, which reflects our seasonality. Our inventory decreased $15.3$49.7 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to MarchJune 31,30, 2025, primarily due to higher net sales.sales in the current period.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had $996.0$774.7 million in combined cash and availability under our credit facilities, which is ana increasedecrease of $223.7$386.6 million compared to MarchJune 31,30, 2025.2025 following the full repayment of our Term Loan B in May 2026 and repurchases of shares of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase program. Information about our credit facilities and long-term debt is presented in Note 6 “Financing Arrangements” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, approximately 13%26% of our cash was held in regions outside of the United States. We continue to maintain our indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to most jurisdictions in which we operate because of local cash requirements to operate our business. If we were to repatriate cash to the United States outside of settling intercompany balances, we may need to pay incremental foreign withholding taxes which, subject to certain limitations, generate foreign tax credits for use against our U.S. tax liability, if any. Additionally, we may need to pay certain state income taxes.
We plan to utilize our liquidity (as described above) and our cash flows from business operations to fund our material cash requirements. The table below summarizes certain significant cash obligations as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 that will affect our future liquidity (in millions).
The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum amount of future payments we could be obligated to make. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to indemnities have not been material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, we believe the likelihood is remote that payments under the commitments and guarantees described above will have a material effect on our financial condition. The fair value of indemnities, commitments and guarantees that we issued during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was not material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Total estimated capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2026, are expected to be approximately $35.0 million to $40.0 million.
For the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from the information reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026.
