Paragraph as it now reads, with added and removed wording marked:

Our ability to continue selecting reliable suppliers who provide timely deliveries of quality materials and components will impact our success in meeting customer demand for timely delivery of quality products. If we experience significantly increased demand, or if, for any reason, we need to replace an existing manufacturer or supplier, there can be no assurance that additional supplies of raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity will be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or that any new supplier or manufacturer would allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. Furthermore, the ability of third‑party suppliers to timely deliver raw materials or components may be affected by events beyond their control, such as work stoppages or slowdowns, transportation issues, changes in trade or tariff laws, or significant weather and health conditions, and there can be no assurance that our suppliers and manufacturers will continue to provide raw materials and components that are consistent with our standards and that comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

Added

•U.S. and foreign trade policies, including the assessment of tariffs and other impositions on imported goods, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

•Many of our raw materials and product components are provided by a sole or limited number of third-party suppliers and manufacturers.manufacturers, and the cost of our raw materials and product components could affect our operating results.

Reworded

•We rely on complex information systems to manage our manufacturing, distribution, salessales, finance, accounting and other functions. If our information systems fail to perform these functions adequately or if we experience an interruption in our operations, including a breach in cybersecurity, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Reworded

•We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant amounts of debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with current indebtedness.

Reworded

•The indenture that governs our 7.375% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “Notes”) and the credit agreement that governs our Secondmulti-currency Amendedrevolving Creditcredit Facilityfacility (as defined below) containcontains restrictions that limit our flexibility in operating our business.

Reworded

Our products are recreational in nature and are therefore discretionary purchases for consumers. Consumers are generally more willing to spendmake theirdiscretionary timepurchases and money on golf andof golf products when economic conditions are favorable and when consumers feel confident and prosperous. Discretionary spending on golf and the golf products we sell is affected by consumer spending habits and many macroeconomic factors, including general business conditions, stock market prices and volatility, corporate spending, housing prices, inflation, interest rates, the availability of consumer credit, taxes and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Consumers may reduce or postpone purchases of our products as a result of shifts in consumer spending habits as well as during periods when economic uncertainty increases, disposable income is lower, or during periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. A future significant or prolonged decline in general economic conditions or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that adversely affects consumer discretionary spending, whether in the United States or in our international markets, could result in reduced sales of our products, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

Golf is a recreational activity that requires both time and money,financial resources, and different generations and socioeconomic and ethnic groups use their leisure time and discretionary funds in different ways. Golf participation among younger generations and certain socioeconomic and ethnic groups may not prove to be as popular as it is among older generations. A decline in golf participation or the number of rounds of golf played due to factors such as demographic changes or lack of interest in the sport among young people or certain socioeconomic and ethnic groups could reduce sales of our products and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

U.S. and foreign trade policies, including the assessment of tariffs and other impositions on imported goods, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

During 2025, the U.S. government announced the imposition of significant tariff measures, including a baseline tariff of 10% on most products imported into the United States, as well as individualized tariffs on products imported from select trading partners, including Canada, China, Mexico, Thailand and Vietnam. As a result, we are incurring incremental tariff costs in connection with importing raw materials, component parts and finished goods. The U.S. government has also announced and rescinded multiple tariffs on several foreign jurisdictions, which has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the tariffs on economic conditions. These actions are impacting bilateral trade relations, with many U.S. trading partners imposing or publicly considering retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. The tariff policy environment has been and is expected to continue to be dynamic, and the ultimate impact of any tariffs will depend on the magnitude and duration of the tariffs imposed and the countries impacted. If we are unable to mitigate tariff-related risks through supply chain adjustments, pricing strategies, sourcing arrangements or other measures, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Added

Additionally, U.S. policy changes and uncertainty about such changes may increase market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations. As part of our foreign currency exchange rate hedging strategy, we have and expect to continue to execute forward contracts to protect against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to mitigate foreign currency transaction risk. However, our hedging activities may not be sufficient to offset the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movement in foreign currency exchange rates, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See also “—Our operations are conducted worldwide and our results of operations are subject to currency transaction and translation risks that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations” and “—We have significant international operations and are exposed to risks associated with doing business globally.”

Reworded

Golf’s most regulated categories are golf balls and golf clubs. We seek to have our new golf ball and golf club products conform with the Rules of Golf because these rules are generally followed by golfers, both professional and amateur. The Rules of Golf set testing standards and establish limitations for the design and performance of golf balls and golf clubs. Historically, the Rules of Golf have regulated golf ball size, weight, spherical symmetry, initial velocity and overall distance. The Governing Bodies have also focused on golf club regulations, including limiting wedge and iron groove size, the size and spring‑like effect of driver faces and club head moment of inertia. In the future, existing Rules of Golf may be altered in ways that may adversely affect the sales of our current or future products.

Reworded

Many of our raw materials and product components are provided by a sole or limited number of third‑party suppliers and manufacturers.manufacturers, and the cost of our raw materials and product components could affect our operating results.

Reworded

We rely on a sole or limited number of third‑party suppliers and manufacturers for many of our raw materials and components in our golf balls, golf clubs, golf gloves, golf shoes and certain of our other products. We also use specialized and geographically limited sources for certain of the raw materials used to make our golf gloves and other products. Many of these materials are customized for us and some of our products require specially developed manufacturing techniques and processes which make it difficult to identify and utilize alternative suppliers quickly. If we were to experience any delay or interruption in such supplies, we may not be able to find adequate alternative suppliers at a reasonable cost or without significant disruption to our business. We continue to be exposed to price increases and availability risks with respect to certain materials and components used by us, our suppliers and our manufacturers, including polybutadiene, zinc diacrylate, urethane and ionomers for the manufacturing of our golf balls, tungsten, titanium and steel for the manufacturing of our golf clubs, leather and synthetic fabrics for the manufacturing of our golf shoes, golf gloves, golf gear and golf apparel, and resin and other petroleum‑based materials for a number of our products. Any significant supply chain disruptionsdisruptions, price fluctuations or shortages in raw materials or components, including the costs to transport such materials or components of our products, the uncertainty of currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar, increases in labor rates, trade duties or tariffs, and/or the introduction of new and expensive raw materials could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

Our ability to continue selecting reliable suppliers who provide timely deliveries of quality materials and components will impact our success in meeting customer demand for timely delivery of quality products. If we experience significantly increased demand, or if, for any reason, we need to replace an existing manufacturer or supplier, there can be no assurance that additional supplies of raw materials or additional manufacturing capacity will be available when required on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or that any new supplier or manufacturer would allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements.

If any of operations.the foregoing were to occur, unless we obtain replacement supplies or components in a timely manner, we risk the loss of sales resulting from the inability to manufacture our products and could incur related increased administrative and shipping costs.

Added

In addition, should we decide to transition existing manufacturing between third‑party manufacturers or to transition existing in‑house manufacturing to third‑party manufacturers, such as the transition of our footwear manufacturing to a third-party owned facility in Vietnam, the risk of a supply chain disruption could increase. Even if we are able to expand existing or find new manufacturing sources, we may encounter delays in production and added costs as a result of the time it takes to train our suppliers and manufacturers in our methods, products and quality control standards. Any material delays, interruption or increased costs in the supply of raw materials or components of our products could impact our ability to meet customer demand, which could negatively impact our brands and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Removed

In addition, there can be no assurance that our suppliers and manufacturers will continue to provide raw materials and components that are consistent with our standards and that comply with all applicable laws and regulations. We have occasionally received, and may in the future receive, shipments of supplies or components that fail to conform to our quality control standards. In that event, unless we obtain replacement supplies or components in a timely manner, we risk the loss of sales resulting from the inability to manufacture our products and could incur related increased administrative and shipping costs, that could also negatively impact our brands, any of which occuring could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Removed

While we do not control our suppliers or their labor practices, negative publicity regarding the management of facilities, production methods employed or materials used by any of our suppliers could adversely affect our reputation, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and may force us to locate alternative suppliers. In addition, our suppliers may not have access to adequate capital to fulfill their obligations to us or may go out of business. Furthermore, the ability of third‑party suppliers to timely deliver raw materials or components may be affected by events beyond their control, such as work stoppages or slowdowns, transportation issues, changes in trade or tariff laws, or significant weather and health conditions.

Removed

The cost of raw materials and components could affect our operating results.

Removed

The materials and components used by us, our suppliers and our manufacturers involve raw materials, including polybutadiene, zinc diacrylate, urethane and ionomers for the manufacturing of our golf balls, titanium and steel for the manufacture of our golf clubs, leather and synthetic fabrics for the manufacturing of our golf shoes, golf gloves, golf gear and golf apparel, and resin and other petroleum‑based materials for a number of our products. Significant price fluctuations or shortages in such raw materials or components, including the costs to transport such materials or components of our products, the uncertainty of currency fluctuations against the U.S. dollar, increases in labor rates, trade duties or tariffs, and/or the introduction of new and expensive raw materials, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, $1,010.3$1,035.4 million of our net sales were generated in regions outside of the United States. Net sales by region are included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” Item 7 of Part II to this report and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 21 – Segment Information,” Item 8 of Part II to this report. Substantially all net sales from regions outside of the United States were generated in the applicable local currency, which include, but are not limited to, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound sterling, the euro and the Canadian dollar. In contrast, substantially all of our purchases of inventory, raw materials and components by entities in these regions are made in U.S. dollars. ForAs thea year ended December 31, 2024, approximately 80% of our cost of goods sold incurred by regions outside the U.S. was denominated in U.S. dollars. Because these subsidiaries incur substantially all of their cost of goods sold in currencies that are different from the currencies in which they generate substantially all of their sales,result, we are exposed to transaction risk attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which can impact the gross profit of theseour international subsidiaries. IfIn addition, because substantially all of the operating expenses incurred by our international subsidiaries are denominated in foreign currencies, we are exposed to currency translation risk when we translate the financial results of our consolidated subsidiaries from their local currency into U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our reported financial results and can significantly affect period‑over‑period comparisons. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar strengthens against the applicable local currency, more local currency will be neededrelative to purchaseour theforeign same amount of cost of goods sold denominated in U.S. dollars, whichcurrencies could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We have entered and expect to continue entering into various foreign exchange forward contracts in an effort to protect against adverse changes in foreign exchange rates and attempt to minimizemitigate foreign currency transaction risk. Our hedging activities can reduce, but will not eliminate, the effects of foreign currency transaction risk on our financial results. The extent to which our hedging activities mitigate foreign currency transaction risks varies based upon many factors, including the timing, value and volume of transactions being hedged.hedged, Accuracyaccuracy of sales forecasts, volatility of currency markets, the availability of hedging instruments and limitations on the duration of such hedging instruments may also affect the effectiveness of our hedging activities.instruments. Because these hedging activities are designed to reduce volatility, they not only reduce the negative impact of a stronger U.S. dollar but could also reduce the positive impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. We are also exposed to credit risk from the counterparties to our hedging activities and market conditions could cause such counterparties to experience financial difficulties. As a result, our efforts to hedge these exposures could prove unsuccessful and, furthermore, our ability to engage in additional hedging activities may decrease or become more costly.

Removed

Because our consolidated accounts are reported in U.S. dollars, we are also exposed to currency translation risk when we translate the financial results of our consolidated subsidiaries from their local currency into U.S. dollars. In each of the three years ended December 31, 2024, over 40% of our net sales and approximately 30% of our total operating expenses (which amounts represent substantially all of the operating expenses incurred by subsidiaries in regions outside of the U.S.) were denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our reported financial results and can significantly affect period‑over‑period comparisons. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to our foreign currencies could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Political, social and geopolitical conditions in the markets in which our products are manufactured and/or sold have been and could continue to be difficult to predict, and may result in adverse effects on our business. The effects of elections, referendums or other political conditions, events, tensions, wars, and other military conflicts in these markets have in the past impacted and could continue to impact how existing laws, regulations and government programs or policies are implemented or result in uncertainty as to how such laws, regulations, programs or policies may change, including with respect to the negotiation of new trade agreements, new, expanded or retaliatory tariffs against certain countries or covering certain products or ingredients (includingsee recent “—U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on China, Canada and Mexicoforeign trade policies, including the assessment of tariffs and other countriesimpositions on imported goods, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and anyresults retaliatoryof actions taken by such countriesoperations”), sanctions, environmental and climate change regulations, taxes, benefit programs, the movement of goods, services and people between countries, relationships between countries, customer or consumer perception of a particular country or its government and other matters. Such uncertainty could have a negative impact on our business. Further, any changes in global or national political movements or trade policies could alter the trade environment and consumer purchasing behavior which, in turn, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Any violation of our policies or any applicable laws and regulations by our suppliers or manufacturers could interrupt or otherwise disrupt our sourcing, adversely affect our reputation or damage our brand image. While we do not control these suppliers or manufacturers or their labor practices, negative publicity regarding the management of facilities by, production methods of or materials used by any of our suppliers or manufacturers could adversely affect our reputation and sales and force us to locateseek alternative suppliers or manufacturing sources, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Reworded

If actual demand for our products exceeds the forecasted demand, we may not be able to produce sufficient quantities of new products in time to fulfill actual demand, which could limit our sales. Any inventory levels in excess of consumer demand may result in inventory write‑downs and/or the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices.

We use United Parcel Service and FedEx Corporation for substantially all ground shipments of products to our U.S. customers. We use ocean shipping services and air carriers for most of our international shipments of products and many of the components we use to manufacture and assemble our products. If there are changes in trade or tariff laws which result in customs processing delays or any significant interruption in service by such providers or at shipping ports or airports, we may be unable to engage alternative suppliers or to receive or ship goods through alternate sites in order to deliver our products or components in a timely and cost‑efficient manner. We could experience manufacturing delays, increased manufacturing and shipping costs, and lost sales due to missed delivery deadlines and product introduction and demand cycles. Any significant interruption in Unitedground Parcel Service or FedEx Corporationshipment services, ship services, at shipping ports or air carrier services could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, in recent years, West Coast port congestion, Panama Canal passage limitations and Red Sea carrier diversions resulted in unbudgeted shipping costs, caused unexpected shipping delays and otherwise made it more difficult to ship our products to certain key markets worldwide. If the cost of delivery or shipping services were to increase significantly and the additional costs could not be covered by product pricing, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Reworded

We are in the process of implementing a new worldwide ERP platform as part of our plans to integrate our operations and enhance our supply chain and finance capabilities. Additional implementation activities are expected to continue in phases over the next threeseveral years. ERP implementations are complex, labor intensive, and time-consuming projects, which also involve substantial expenditures on system software and implementation activities. The successful implementation of the new ERP platform is critical to our ability to provide important information to management, obtain and deliver products, provide services and customer support, accurately maintain books and records, provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on our financial and operating results, and otherwise operate our business. ERP implementations also require transformation of business and financial processes in order to reap the benefits of the ERP system. Any such implementation involves risks inherent in the conversion to a new computer system, including loss of information and potential disruption to our normal operations. The implementation and maintenance of the new ERP platform has required, and will continue to require, the investment of significant financial and human resources, the re-engineering of processes of our business, and the attention of many employees who would otherwise be focused on other aspects of our business. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we experience additional time delays or cost overruns during the ERP implementation process, or if we are unable to reap the benefits we expect from the new ERP platform. Any material deficiencies in the design and implementation of the new ERP platform could also result in potentially materially higher costs and could adversely affect our ability to operate our business and otherwise negatively affect our financial reporting and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although we did not experience any material impacts as a result of this software update,incident, we could in the future experience similar third-party software-induced interruptions to our operations. Any damage or significant disruption in the operation of our systems, disruptions, delays or deficiencies in the design or implementation of new systems, or the failure of our information systems to perform as expected would disrupt our business, which may result in decreased sales, increased overhead costs, excess inventory or product shortages which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that can impact our business including by posing security risks to our confidential information, proprietary information, and personal data.

Added

Issues associated with the development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”), combined with an uncertain regulatory environment, may result in reputational harm, liability, or other adverse consequences to our business operations. We have adopted and may in the future adopt and integrate generative AI tools into our systems for specific use cases in consultation with our legal and information technology departments. Our vendors may incorporate generative AI into their offerings without disclosing this use to us, and the providers of these generative AI tools may not meet existing or rapidly evolving regulatory or industry standards with respect to privacy and data protection and may inhibit our or our vendors’ ability to maintain an adequate level of service and experience. Although we have implemented policies and procedures intended to mitigate the risks associated with the use of AI and machine learning technologies, users of our network services, technology systems or computing equipment may take actions in violations of those policies. If we, our vendors, or our third-party partners experience an actual or perceived breach of privacy or security incident because of the use of AI, we may lose valuable intellectual property and confidential information and our reputation and the public perception of the effectiveness of our security measures could be harmed. Further, bad actors around the world use increasingly sophisticated methods, including the use of AI, to engage in illegal activities involving the theft and misuse of personal information, confidential information, and intellectual property. AI and machine learning technologies may also contribute to novel and urgent cybersecurity risks, including through the use by third parties of such technologies to launch more automated, targeted and coordinated attacks. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

We are increasingly using websites and social media to interact with consumers and as a means to enhance their experience with our products. We currently have eCommerce operations in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Asia. In our eCommerce services, we process, store and transmit customer data, including payment card information. We also collect consumer data through certain marketing activities. Failure to prevent or mitigate data loss or other security breaches, including breaches of our vendors’ technology and systems, could expose us or consumers to a risk of loss or misuse of such information, result in litigation or potential liability for us and otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We would also likely suffer indirect harms such as reputational damage and reticence among other companies to do business with us. For further information, see “—We rely on complex information systems to manage our manufacturing, distribution, salessales, finance, accounting and other functions. If our information systems fail to perform these functions adequately or if we experience an interruption in our operations, including a breach in cybersecurity, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.”

Our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, which consist of goodwill from acquisitions, trademarks, patents, completed technology, customer relationships, licensing fees, and other intangible assets, represented 34% of our total assets as of December 31, 2024.

Reworded

Our goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, which primarily consist of goodwill from acquisitions, trademarks, customer relationships and completed technology, represented 31% of our total assets as of December 31, 2025. Accounting rules require the evaluation of our goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Such indicators include: (i) a significant adverse change in customer demand or business climate that could affect the value of an asset; (ii) general economic conditions, such as increasing U.S. Treasury rates or unexpected changes in gross domestic product growth; (iii) a change in our market shares; (iv) budget‑to‑actual performance and consistency of operations margins and capital expenditures; (v) a product recall or an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; or (vi) changes in management or key personnel. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets are deemed impaired when their carrying value exceeds their fair value.

Over the past several years, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”), which represents a coalition of member countries that encompass many of the jurisdictions in which we operate, has promulgated recommended changes to numerous long standing international tax principles through its Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project, including the Pillar II global minimum tax regime. Certain countries in which we operate have enacted legislation consistent with the OECD Pillar II model rules and have introduced a 15% global minimum tax rate for large multinational corporations, effective beginning in 2024. We are included in the consolidated financial statements of a global ultimate parent, are monitoring legislative developments, and are continuing to evaluate the potential impact of Pillar II on our consolidated financial statements. WeWhile we do not expect the impact of Pillar II to be material.material, jurisdictions in which we do business may continue to react to the BEPS initiative by enacting further tax legislation, and our business could be materially impacted.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which includes, among other provisions, changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system including the allowance of immediate expensing of qualifying research and development expenses and permanent extensions of certain provisions within the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others in future periods.

It is expected that jurisdictions in which we do business may continue to react to the BEPS initiative by enacting further tax legislation, and our business could be materially impacted. Our transfer pricing arrangements and principles are reviewed annually; changes may need to be incorporated to reflect any changes in operations that may occur from time to time.

We maintain insurance of the type and in amounts that we believe is commercially reasonable and that is available to businesses in our industry. We carry various types of insurance, including general liability, auto liability, workers’ compensation, property, stock throughput, cyber and excess umbrella, from highly rated insurance carriers. We believe that the policy specifications and insured limits are adequate to cover against foreseeable losses with terms and conditions that are reasonable and customary for similar businesses and are within industry standards. Nevertheless, market forces beyond our control could limit the scope of the insurance coverage that we can obtain in the future or restrict our ability to buy insurance coverage at reasonable rates. We cannot predict the level of the premiums that we may be required to pay for subsequent insurance coverage, the level of any deductible and/or self‑insurance retention applicable thereto, the level of aggregate coverage available or the availability of coverage for specific risks.

Reworded

There is no assurance that we can successfully defend or settle all product liability cases. Our insurance policies provide coverage against claims resulting from alleged injuries arising from our products sustained during the respective policy periods, subject to policy terms and conditions. There can be no assurance that this coverage will be renewed or otherwise remain available in the future, that our insurers will be financially viable when payment of a claim is required, that the cost of such insurance will not increase, or that this insurance will ultimately prove to be adequate under our various policies. Furthermore, future rate increases might make insurance coverage programs uneconomical for us to maintain. These potential insuranceinsurance-related problems or any adverse outcome in any liability suit could create increased expenses which could harm our business. We are unable to predict the nature of product liability claims that may be made against us in the future with respect to injuries, diseases or other illnesses resulting from the use of our products or the materials incorporated in our products.

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or securities convertible into equity will dilute the percentage ownership of holders of our common stock. Capital raised through debt financing would require us to make periodic interest payments and may impose restrictive covenants on the conduct of our business. Furthermore, additional financings may not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all, especially during periods of adverse economic conditions, which could make it more difficult or impossible for us to obtain funding for the operation of our business, for making additional investments in product development and for repaying outstanding indebtedness.

Our ability to make payments on our indebtedness and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. To a certain extent, this is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows to service our debt and meet our other commitments, we may need to restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, sell material assets or operations, or raise additional debt or equity capital. We may not be able to effect any of these actions on a timely basis, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and these actions may not be sufficient to meet our capital requirements. In addition, any refinancing of our indebtedness could be at a higher interest rate, and the terms of our existing or future debt arrangements may restrict us from utilizing such alternatives. Any downgrade in our corporate credit ratings or the credit ratings of the Notes, or any indications from the rating agencies that our ratings are under surveillance or under review with possible negative implications could increase our cost of financing and limit our ability to access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs. Our failure to make the required interest and principal payments on our indebtedness could result in an event of default under the agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in the acceleration of some or all of our outstanding indebtedness. In the absence of sufficient resources to service our debt and meet our other commitments, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations.

The accompanying results have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Acushnet Holdings Corp. and Acushnet Company, including itsAcushnet Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include avariable interest entities (“VIE”) in which Acushnet Company is the primary beneficiary. In addition, investments in entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through Acushnet Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Added

We have three reportable segments. These segments include Titleist golf equipment, FootJoy golf wear and Golf gear. Segment operating income (loss) includes directly attributable expenses and certain shared costs of corporate administration that are allocated to the operating segments, but excludes certain other costs, such as interest expense, net; restructuring costs; the non-service cost component of net periodic benefit cost; transaction fees; as well as other non-operating gains and losses that are not allocated to the reportable segments.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we changed our accounting principle related to the presentation of costs associated with operating our distribution centers and costs associated with shipping and handling activities from selling, general and administrative to cost of goods sold within our consolidated statements of operations. We also changed our reportable segments to combine the Titleist golf balls and Titleist golf clubs reportable segments into a Titleist golf equipment reportable segment, resulting in three reportable segments: Titleist golf equipment, FootJoy golf wear and Golf gear. As part of this change, certain other immaterial changes have been made within our reportable segments. Prior period amounts were updated to conform to the current year presentation for the change in accounting principle and reportable segments. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” Item 8 of Part II to this report, for additional detail.

We generate substantially all of our sales from the sale of golf-related products, including golf balls, golf clubs, golf shoes, golf gloves, golf gear and golf apparel. The demand for golf-related products in general, and golf balls in particular, is directly related to the number of golf participants and the number of rounds of golf being played by these participants. WhileThe roundsgame of play had been relatively stable for years, the game experienced an approximate 8% global increase in rounds in both 2020 and 2021 as dedicated golfers took full advantage of favorable weather, hybrid work schedules and an increase in discretionary time due to the circumstances attendant to the COVID-19 pandemic. Golfgolf remained in high demand in 2022 and 2023,2025, with the number of on-course golf participants in the U.S. increasing for the eighth consecutive year. Worldwide, the number of rounds played inincreased by approximately 2% compared to 2024, and by approximately 22% compared to 2019. In the U.S.U.S., approximatelywhich 16%represents andthe 20%game’s higher,largest respectively, thanmarket, the number of rounds played inincreased 2019. In 2024, the number of rounds played in the U.S. grewby approximately 2%1% compared to 2023,2024, and wereby 22%approximately higher25% compared to 2019.

Our products are recreational in nature and are therefore discretionary purchases for consumers. Consumers are generally more willing to spendmake theirdiscretionary timepurchases and money on golf andof golf products when economic conditions are favorable and when consumers feel confident and prosperous. Discretionary spending on golf and the golf products we sell is affected by consumer spending habits and many macroeconomic factors, including general business conditions, stock market prices and volatility, corporate spending, housing prices, inflation, interest rates, the availability of consumer credit, taxes and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Consumers may reduce or postpone purchases of our products as a result of shifts in consumer spending habits as well as during periods when economic uncertainty increases, disposable income is lower, or during periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions.

Golf is a recreational activity that requires both time and money.financial resources. The golf industry has historically been principally driven by theadults age cohort ofaged 30 years and above, above—primarily “gen x-ers,” “baby boomers,” “millennials”millennials, and, increasingly, “gen z” —who have the time and moneycapacity to engageparticipate consistently in the sport. We believe that the percentage of women golfers will continue to grow, as a higher percentage of new golfers in recent years have been women. Beyond the gen x and baby boomer generations,cohorts, promising developments in golf include thea generational shift resultingin fromgolfer demographics fueled by millennial and gen z golfers making their marks at both professional and amateur levelslevels, andas thewell as a notable rise in junior participation among players ages 6–17. The sport’s demographic base is further broadening, supported by a sustained increase in thewomen numberparticipating of juniors (ages 6-17) who playin golf in recent years.

Golf participation among younger generations and certain socioeconomic and ethnic groups may not prove to be as popular as it is among older generations. In such case, sales of our products could be negatively impacted.

We generally launch new Titleist golf ball models on a two-year cycle. In general, in odd-numbered years, we launch our premium performance models, Pro V1 and Pro V1x, in the first quarter and in even-numbered years, we launch our premium performance AVX model and most performance models in the first and second quarters. For new golf ball models, sales occur at a higher rate in the year of the initial launch than in the second year. Given the Pro V1 franchise is our highest volume and our highest priced product in this product category, we typically have higher net sales of Titleist golf balls in odd-numbered years.

Net sales generated in regions outside of the United States represented approximatelyover 40-50%40% of our net sales in each of the three years ended December 31, 2024.2025. Substantially all of these net sales were generated in the applicable local currency, which include, but are not limited to, the Japanese yen, the Korean won, the British pound sterling, the euro and the Canadian dollar. In contrast, substantially all of the purchases of inventory, raw materials or components by subsidiaries in these regions are made in U.S. dollars. For each of the three years ended December 31, 2024,2025, approximately 80% of our cost of goods sold incurred by our subsidiaries in regions outside of the United States were denominated in U.S. dollars. Because these subsidiaries incur substantially all of their cost of goods sold in currencies that are different from the currencies in which they generate substantially all of their sales, we are exposed to transaction risk attributable to fluctuations in such exchange rates, which can impact the gross profit of these subsidiaries.

Reworded

Because our consolidated accounts are reported in U.S. dollars, we are also exposed to currency translation risk when we translate the financial results of our consolidated subsidiaries from their local currency into U.S. dollars. In each of the three years ended December 31, 2024,2025, over 40% of our net sales and approximatelyover 30%25% of our total operating expenses (which amounts represent substantially all of the operating expenses incurred by our subsidiaries in regions outside of the United States) were denominated in foreign currencies. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may positively or negatively affect our reported financial results and can significantly affect period‑over‑period comparisons. A strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to our foreign currencies could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Added

Debt Refinancing ("2025 Debt Refinancing"): During the fourth quarter of 2025, we (i) amended and restated our credit agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity of our multi-currency revolving credit facility from August 2, 2027 to November 24, 2030, and (ii) completed the issuance and sale of $500.0 million in gross proceeds of 5.625% senior notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”) through Acushnet Company, our primary operating subsidiary. The proceeds from the 2033 Notes offering were used to redeem all $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of our then-outstanding 7.375% senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), repay a portion of our indebtedness under our multi-currency revolving credit facility and pay related fees and expenses. As a result, during the year ended December 31, 2025 we recognized a $17.0 million loss on debt extinguishment on the consolidated statement of operations; driven primarily by a $12.9 million premium paid upon redemption of the 2028 Notes, as well as the derecognition of $3.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. See “ – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Debt and Financing Arrangements” and “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 11 – Debt and Financing Arrangements ,” Item 8 of Part II to this report.

Added

Voluntary Bridge to Retirement (“VBR”) Program: During the second quarter of 2025, we initiated a VBR program to reduce operating costs and bridge certain long-tenured eligible employees to retirement. As part of this program, eligible employees were offered severance in the form of salary and benefit continuation. In connection with the VBR program, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred restructuring costs of $13.7 million. There are no further material costs expected to be incurred in relation to the VBR program. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 24 – Restructuring Costs,” Item 8 of Part II to this report.

Added

Information Technology Optimization: During 2024, we began a multi-year implementation of a new global cloud-based ERP platform as part of our plans to integrate our operations and enhance our supply chain and finance capabilities. We expect that the new global ERP platform will enable further operating efficiencies and support the Company’s digital transformation. Additional implementation activities are expected to continue in phases by geographic region over the next several years. The global ERP platform implementation spending comprises both capitalized costs and operating expenses. The operating expenses represent costs directly related to the deployment of the global ERP platform above the normal ongoing level of spending on information technology to support our operations. In connection with this strategic initiative, during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we incurred expenses of $10.5 million, $11.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. In addition, we invested $38.2 million and $12.6 million for capitalized implementation costs associated with the integration, configuration and customization of this new global ERP platform during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We anticipate spending approximately $30 million to $35 million in total during 2026 related to the deployment of the new global ERP platform.

Supply Chain Optimization: We continue to progress towards our objective of establishing a more resilient supply chain for our FootJoy footwear. Until 2024, the majority of our FootJoy footwear was manufactured in a facility in Fuzhou, China, owned by Acushnet Lionscore Limited ("Lionscore"), a joint venture in which we have a 40% interest, with the remaining 60% owned by Myre, our long‑standing Taiwan-based supply partner. During 2024, FootJoy shifted footwear production volume from Fuzhou, China to the Long An Facility in Vietnam, which is operated by an affiliate of Myre. FootJoy subsequently ceased production at Lionscore's Fuzhou, China facility in January 2025. In relation to this initiative, we incurred restructuring charges of $18.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, as described in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 24 – Restructuring Costs,” Item 8 of Part II to this report.

Added

In addition, we are no longer the primary beneficiary of Lionscore and have deconsolidated its accounts from our consolidated financial statements. As a result of this deconsolidation, we recognized a non-cash gain of $20.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 8 – Other Business Developments,” Item 8 of Part II to this report.

Added

On January 6, 2026, we formed a new joint venture with Myre and subscribed for shares in the capital of ACL FootJoy, in which we have a 40% interest, with the remaining 60% owned by Myre, with the primary purpose of sourcing raw materials for, and contracting for the manufacture and production of, footwear in Vietnam at one or more factories owned and/or controlled by Myre and/or its affiliates. We currently contract to manufacture substantially all of our FootJoy footwear at the Long An Facility pursuant to this joint venture arrangement. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 8 – Other Business Developments,” Item 8 of Part II to this report, for a discussion of the ACL FootJoy joint venture.

Tariffs and Foreign Exchange: During 2025, the U.S. government announced the imposition of significant tariff measures, including a baseline tariff of 10% on most products imported into the United States, as well as individualized tariffs on products imported from select trading partners, including Canada, China, Mexico, Thailand and Vietnam. Increased U.S. tariffs have led and may continue to lead to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, the U.S. government has announced and rescinded multiple tariffs on several foreign jurisdictions, which has increased uncertainty regarding the ultimate effect of the tariffs on economic conditions. As a result, we have incurred incremental tariff costs in connection with importing raw materials, component parts and finished goods. Throughout the year ended December 31, 2025, we implemented various actions to mitigate the effect of these incremental tariffs costs on our gross profit and gross margin. Current uncertainties about tariffs and their effects on trading relationships may further affect the costs of our imported raw materials, components parts and finished goods, as well as increase market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations, which may influence our hedging strategy. We continue to monitor the economic effects of these developments and evaluate opportunities to mitigate their related impacts. See “Risk Factors,” Item 1A of Part I to this report, for additional information.

Geopolitical Developments and Macroeconomic Factors: The global economy continues to experience elevated levels of volatility and uncertainty, including within thecommodity commodityand energy markets, driven by a combination of geopolitical developments and macroeconomic factors. Increased U.S. tariffs have led and may continue to lead to the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by foreign jurisdictions, which have further contributed to disruptions in global capital markets and global supply chains. As a result, we have incurred and may continue to incur incremental costs in connection with importing raw materials, component parts and finished goods. In addition, geopolitical developments, inflationary pressures and other macroeconomic factors have resulted and may continue to result in increased energy, freight, and distribution costs. We have implemented various strategies to mitigate the effect of these incremental costs on our gross profit and gross margin.

Added

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under IEEPA were invalid, and in March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order directing CBP to refund duties collected under IEEPA. In April 2026, CBP established a refund portal, allowing importers of record and authorized customs brokers to submit refund requests. We have submitted refund requests through this portal for duties paid on qualifying imports. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized benefits related to IEEPA tariff refunds of $44.5 million in costs of goods sold, $0.6 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, and $1.5 million in interest expense, net. These benefits were partially offset by a resulting increase in incentive compensation expense of approximately $7 million. While we continue to evaluate opportunities for additional tariff refunds, we do not expect any future recoveries to have a significant impact on our results of operations. See “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies,” Item 1 of Part I to this report.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were invalid, and in March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order directing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to refund duties imposed under IEEPA. In April 2026, CBP established a refund portal, allowing importers of record and authorized customs brokers to submit refund requests. The situation continues to evolve, and further legislative, regulatory, or judicial developments may affect the ultimate outcome and the availability or timing of any refunds. Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 do not include the impact of any potential refunds that we may receive.

Current uncertainties around geopolitical developments and macroeconomic factors and their effects on trading relationships may further affect the costs of our imported raw materials, components parts and finished goods, as well as increaseenergy, freight, and distribution costs. In addition, increased market volatility and currency exchange rate fluctuations, whichfluctuations may influence our hedging strategy.

Information Technology Optimization: During 2024, we began a multi-year implementation of a new global cloud-based enterprise resource planning ("ERP") platform as part of our plans to integrate our operations and enhance our supply chain and finance capabilities. We expect that the new global ERP platform will enable further operating efficiencies and support the Company’s digital transformation. Additional implementation activities are expected to continue in phases by geographic region over the next several years. The global ERP platform implementation spending comprises both capitalized costs and operating expenses. The operating expenses represent costs directly related to the deployment of the global ERP platform above the normal ongoing level of spending on information technology to support our operations. In connection with this strategic initiative, we incurred expenses of $6.9 million and $3.4 million, during the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, werespectively, incurredand expenses of $3.0$9.9 million and $2.6$6.0 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, we invested $5.7$13.3 million and $8.0$21.2 million for capitalized implementation costs associated with the integration, configuration and customization of this new global ERP platform during the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We anticipate spending approximately $30$35 million to $35$40 million in total for the full year related to the deployment of the new global ERP platform.
