Supply Chain Optimization
Prior to January 31, 2025, the Company consolidated the accounts of its FootJoy manufacturing joint venture, Acushnet Lionscore Limited (“Lionscore”), a VIE which is 40% owned by the Company. During January 2025, Lionscore permanently ceased manufacturing at its Fujian Fuh Deh Leh (“FDL”) factory in Fuzhou, China and all footwear production volume was shifted to a third-party facility located in Long An Province, Vietnam (the “Long An Factory”), which is operated by an affiliate of Myre Overseas Corp. (“Myre”), the Company's Lionscore joint venture partner. As a result, the Company is no longer the primary beneficiary of Lionscore and has deconsolidated the accounts of Lionscore effective as of January 31, 2025. As such, the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included one month of activity related to Lionscore prior to the deconsolidation. The fair value of the Company's equity interest in Lionscore as of the date of deconsolidation, determined by the appraised value of Lionscore's operating assets, was $14.1 million. In connection with the deconsolidation of Lionscore, the Company recorded a non-cash gain on deconsolidation of $20.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, which was included within other expense (income), net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Subsequent to the deconsolidation, the Company accounts for its equity ownership interest in Lionscore under the equity method of accounting.
The carrying value of the Company's investment in Lionscore was $13.3 million and $13.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, which was included within other noncurrent assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company records (gains) losses related to the Lionscore equity method investment within other expense (income), net on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On January 6, 2026, Acushnet Cayman Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acushnet Cayman”), entered into a Subscription and Shareholders’ Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Myre and ACL FootJoy Pte. Ltd. (“ACL FootJoy”), pursuant to which Acushnet Cayman and Myre formed a joint venture and subscribed for shares in the capital of ACL FootJoy. The primary purpose of ACL FootJoy, in which the Company has a 40% interest with the remaining 60% owned by Myre, is to source raw materials for, and contract for the manufacture and production of, footwear in Vietnam, under trademarks and brand names owned by Acushnet Company ("Products") at one or more factories owned and/or controlled by Myre and/or its affiliates (the “Footwear Factories”), including the Long An Factory. Pursuant to the JV Agreement, the Company has the sole and exclusive right to purchase and distribute, and to arrange for the worldwide sale and distribution of, all Products manufactured or produced at the Footwear Factories. The Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary due to its controlling financial interest in ACL FootJoy and as such, the Company consolidates ACL FootJoy as a VIE.
On January 28, 2026, ACL FootJoy entered into a promissory note with Lionscore, allowing ACL FootJoy to borrow up to $9.0 million to support working capital needs. The promissory note is non-interest bearing with a maturity date of January 28, 2029. As of June 30, 2026, outstanding borrowings under the promissory note of $7.5 million were included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. To the extent ACL FootJoy's capital needs exceed its resources, the Company may, but is not legally obligated to, provide ACL FootJoy with additional funding in the form of equity or loans. ACL FootJoy has no other outstanding borrowings other than the promissory note.
Investment in Less than Wholly-Owned Subsidiary
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company invested an additional $6.4 million in ACTPI, LLC, a less than wholly-owned subsidiary ("ACTPI"), increasing the Company's ownership interest from 80% to 84.3%. ACTPI was formed in connection with the November 4, 2022, acquisition of an 80% interest in certain assets and liabilities of TPI EDU, LLC, Onbase University, LP and Racquetfit, LP for cash consideration of $18.4 million. ACTPI educates golfers and industry professionals on the body-swing connection through its ‘TPI Certified’ program.
