FAIRHAVEN, MA – August 7, 2025 – Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) ("Acushnet" or the "Company"), the global leader in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of performance-driven golf products, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
“Acushnet delivered another strong performance in the second quarter while operating in this dynamic environment. Through the first six months of the year, the team delivered a 3% increase in constant currency net sales driven by growth in Titleist golf equipment and Golf gear. We are especially pleased with the response to our new Pro V1 models and continued growth in Titleist GT drivers and fairways,” said David Maher, Acushnet’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Maher continued, “The U.S. golfer base grew for the seventh straight year in 2024, and global participation is healthy and resilient even as several regions experienced poor spring weather. Despite an uncertain tariff landscape, golf industry fundamentals remain positive. As we look ahead to the second half of 2025, we are excited with the launch of new Titleist T-series irons, Scotty Cameron putters and line extensions to our popular FJ Hyperflex and Quantum golf shoes. I would like to thank my teammates and partners for their commitment to delivering great products and services to dedicated golfers which in turn enables us to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Consolidated net sales for the quarter increased 5.4%, or 4.7% on a constant currency basis, driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, primarily due to higher average selling prices in golf clubs and higher sales volumes in golf balls, as well as higher net sales in Golf gear. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, in the footwear category. An increase in net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales.
On a geographic basis, higher net sales in the United States were largely driven by increases in Titleist golf equipment of $20.7 million and Golf gear of $4.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in FootJoy golf wear of $1.6 million. The increase in Titleist golf equipment was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of our GT drivers, fairways and hybrids and higher average selling prices across all golf club product categories, as well as higher sales volumes of our 2025 Pro V1 golf ball models. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volumes of our second model year irons and Phantom putters. The increase in Golf gear was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in golf bags and golf gloves. The decrease in FootJoy golf wear was primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher average selling prices in footwear and golf gloves.
Net sales in regions outside the United States increased 3.8%, or 2.3% on a constant currency basis, driven by increases in EMEA and Rest of World, partially offset by decreases in Korea and Japan. In EMEA, the increase was primarily driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, largely due to golf balls, and higher net sales in Golf gear. In Rest of World, the increase was primarily driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment. In Korea, the decrease was primarily due to lower net sales in Golf gear and FootJoy golf wear, partially offset by higher net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments. In Japan, the decrease was primarily due to lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear.
Segment specifics:
•6.8% increase in net sales (6.1% on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf equipment primarily driven by higher average selling prices across all golf club product categories and higher sales volumes of our 2025 Pro V1 golf ball models. In addition, higher sales volumes of our latest generation GT drivers, fairways and hybrids were more than offset by lower sales volumes of our second model year irons, Phantom putters and wedges.
•1.3% decrease in net sales (2.0% on a constant currency basis) of FootJoy golf wear primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher average selling prices across all product categories.
•7.9% increase in net sales (7.2% on a constant currency basis) of Golf gear primarily driven by higher sales volumes in golf bags and golf gloves and higher average selling prices across all product categories.
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. increased 5.9% to $75.6 million, year over year, primarily as a result of an increase in income from operations and lower income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $143.1 million, up 9.2% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.9% for the second quarter versus 19.2% for the prior year period.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Consolidated net sales for the first six months increased 2.3%, or 2.9% on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, primarily due to higher average selling prices in golf clubs and higher sales volumes in golf balls, as well as higher net sales in Golf gear. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear in footwear and apparel categories. An increase in net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales.
On a geographic basis, higher net sales in the United States were largely driven by increases in Titleist golf equipment of $31.0 million and in Golf gear of $5.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in FootJoy golf wear of $7.3 million. The increase in Titleist golf equipment was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of our GT drivers, fairways and hybrids as well as higher sales volumes of our 2025 Pro V1 golf ball models and higher average selling prices in golf clubs. These increases were partially offset by lower sales volumes of second model year irons, wedges and performance model golf balls. The increase in Golf gear was primarily driven by higher sales volumes, in golf gloves and golf bags, and higher average selling prices across all product categories. The decrease in FootJoy golf wear was primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher average selling prices across all product categories.
Net sales in regions outside the United States increased 0.1%, or 1.5% on a constant currency basis driven by increases in EMEA and Rest of World, partially offset by decreases in Korea and Japan. In EMEA, the increase was driven by higher net sales across all reportable segments, primarily in Titleist golf equipment, due to golf balls, and in Golf gear. In Rest of World, the increase was primarily driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment and products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments. In Korea, the decrease was largely due to lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, primarily footwear and apparel, and Golf gear. In Japan, the decrease was primarily due to lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, across all product categories.
Segment specifics:
•4.5% increase in net sales (4.9% on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf equipment, primarily driven by higher sales volumes of our 2025 Pro V1 golf ball models and higher average selling prices in golf clubs. In addition, higher sales volumes of our latest generation GT drivers, fairways and hybrids were more than offset by lower sales volumes of our second model year wedges, irons and performance model golf balls.
•4.2% decrease in net sales (3.6% on a constant currency basis) of FootJoy golf wear, primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear and apparel, partially offset by higher average selling prices across all product categories.
•5.0% increase in net sales (5.5% on a constant currency basis) of Golf gear driven by higher average selling prices across all product categories and higher sales volumes in golf gloves and golf bags.
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. improved 9.9% to $174.9 million, year over year, primarily due to a non-cash pre-tax gain of $20.9 million related to the deconsolidation of our FootJoy golf shoe joint venture and lower income tax expense, partially offset by lower income from operations.
Adjusted EBITDA was $282.0 million, down 0.9% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.8% for the first six months versus 20.5% for the prior year period.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). However, this release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of net sales in constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant to understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales, net income or other measures of profitability or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Since a significant percentage of our net sales are generated outside of the United States, we use net sales on a constant currency basis to evaluate the sales performance of our business in period over period comparisons and to forecast our business going forward. Constant currency information allows us to estimate what our sales performance would have been without changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This information is calculated by taking the current period local currency net sales and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable prior period. This constant currency information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Our presentation of constant currency information may not be consistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies.
We define "Adjusted EBITDA" in a manner consistent with the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as it is defined in our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. plus interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, and other items defined in our credit agreement, including: share-based compensation expense; restructuring and transformation costs; certain transaction fees; extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring losses or charges; indemnification expense (income); certain pension settlement costs; certain other non-cash (gains) losses, net and the net income (loss) relating to noncontrolling interests.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because it excludes the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, assess our consolidated operating performance and make decisions regarding the pricing of our products, go-to-market execution and costs to incur across our business.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. as a measure of our operating performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items, or affected by similar nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.
We also use Adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis, which measures our Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales, because our management uses it to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, assess our consolidated operating performance and make decisions regarding pricing of our products, go-to-market execution and costs to incur across our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA margin as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because it excludes the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered an alternative to any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items, or affected by similar nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.

(2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, includes $3.4 million and $6.0 million, respectively, related to the optimization of our information technology systems. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, includes $2.8 million and $5.9 million, respectively, related to the optimization of our information technology systems.
(3) For the six months ended June 30, 2025, includes $0.3 million related to the optimization of our distribution and custom fulfillment capabilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, includes $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, related to the optimization of our distribution and custom fulfillment capabilities.
(4) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, includes $0.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, related to the amortization of capitalized implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements.

In addition, the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 include other gains, losses or costs added back for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our credit agreement.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, as forecasted for 2025, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure, net income, is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility of certain charges that may impact our GAAP results on a forward-looking basis, such as the measures and effects of share-based compensation, restructuring and transformation costs and other items that have not yet occurred and may impact our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in future periods.
