NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Callaway Golf Company (the “Company” or “Callaway Golf”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Commission. These consolidated condensed financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

On March 8, 2021, the Company completed the merger with Topgolf International, Inc. ~~("Topgolf"~~(“Topgolf”) and has included the results of operations of Topgolf in ~~it's~~its consolidated condensed ~~statement~~statements of operations from that date forward. The Company’s Topgolf subsidiary operates on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. As such, the Topgolf financial information included in the ~~Company’s~~Company's consolidated condensed ~~consolidated~~ financial statements for the ~~quarter~~three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 is ~~for the period beginning~~from July 5, 2021 through October 3, 2021 and March 8, 2021 ~~(merger date)~~ through ~~April 4, 2021.~~October 3, 2021, respectively. Additionally, based on the Company's assessment of the combined business, the Company modified the presentation of its consolidated condensed ~~statement~~statements of operations for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated condensed balance sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For further information about the merger with Topgolf, see Note 6. In connection with the merger, the Company reassessed its operating segments by evaluating its global business platform, including its management structure after the addition of Topgolf, and determined ~~that as of March 31, 2021,~~ the Company has 3 operating segments, namely, Golf ~~Equipment,~~Equipment; Apparel, Gear and ~~Other,~~Other; and Topgolf. For further information about the Company's operating segments, see Note 19.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following reflects updates to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Commission.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Examples of such estimates include determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations as it relates to revenue recognition, the valuation of share-based awards, recoverability of long-lived assets, assessing intangible assets and goodwill for impairment, determining the incremental borrowing rate for operating and financing leases, in addition to provisions for warranty, ~~uncollectible accounts receivable,~~expected credit losses, inventory obsolescence, sales returns, future price concessions, and tax contingencies and valuation ~~allowances.~~allowances as well the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and acquired intangible assets. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in its business or as new information becomes available.

Recent Accounting Standards

In ~~August 2020,~~July 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments” which requires lessors to classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2 through 25-3; and (2) the lessor

would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated condensed financial statements.

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity." This ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. These

changes will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. Also, this ASU requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Entities may adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. In applying the modified retrospective method, entities should apply the guidance to transactions outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are adopted. The Company ~~completed a preliminary assessment of~~is currently assessing the impact this ASU ~~and it~~will have on its consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company anticipates adopting the modified retrospective approach, which ~~will~~may result in a significant increase in its dilutive share-count as the result of calculating the impact of dilution from its convertible notes using the if-converted method. The Company also anticipates a decrease in interest expense resulting from the elimination of the original issuance discount. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company anticipates recognizing the difference between the removal of the equity component of the convertible notes and the unamortized original issuance discount as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings when it adopts this new standard on January 1, 2022.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-01, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope." This ASU clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to the probability and the assessments of effectiveness of LIBOR-indexed cash flow hedges upon a change in the critical terms of the derivative or the hedged transactions, and upon the end of relief under Topic 848. The Company has elected to continue the method of assessing effectiveness as documented in the original hedge documentation and elects to apply the expedient in ASC 848-50-35-17 (through 35-18) which allows the reference rate on the hypothetical derivative to match the reference rate on the hedging instrument. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements and disclosures.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Topic 740") and simplifies certain U.S. GAAP requirements. This ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements or disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies

Leases

The Company leases office space, manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, Company-operated Topgolf venues, vehicles, and equipment, as well as retail and/or outlet locations related to the TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin businesses and the apparel business in Japan. Certain real estate leases include one or more options to extend the lease term, options to purchase the leased property at the Company's sole discretion or escalation clauses that increase the rent payments over the lease term. When deemed reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal and purchase options are

included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligation, respectively. The depreciable life of ~~assets~~machinery and equipment, computer equipment and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain leases may require an additional contingent rent payment based on a percentage of total gross sales greater than certain specified threshold amounts. The Company recognizes contingent rent expense when it is probable that sales thresholds will be reached during the fiscal year. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease agreement in determining the present value of minimum lease payments. If the implicit rate is not provided, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term. At the commencement of a lease, the ROU asset for operating leases is measured by taking the sum of the present value of the lease liability, initial direct costs (if any) and prepaid lease payments (if any) and deducting lease incentives (if any). After the lease commencement date

and over the lease term, lease expense is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis. Lease agreements related to properties are generally comprised of lease components and non-lease components. Non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges, property taxes and insurance, are expensed as incurred and recognized separately from the straight-line lease expense. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, such as rental payments based on a percentage of retail ~~sales~~revenue over contractual levels, are expensed separately as incurred, and are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, such as ~~payments~~rates that are adjusted periodically for inflation, are included in the initial measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In certain venue leasing arrangements, due to the Company’s involvement in the construction of leased assets, the Company is considered the owner of the leased assets for accounting purposes. In such cases, in addition to capitalizing the Company’s construction costs, the Company capitalizes the construction costs funded by the landlord related to its leased premises and recognizes a corresponding liability for those costs as construction advances during the construction period. At the end of the construction period, the Company applies sale and leaseback guidance to determine whether the underlying asset should be derecognized. When the application of the sale and leaseback guidance results in a sale, the asset and liability on the Company’s balance sheet are derecognized. When the application of the sale and leaseback guidance results in a failed sale, the asset remains on the Company’s balance sheet and is depreciated over its respective useful life or the lease term, whichever is shorter, and the liability is accounted for as a deemed landlord financing ("DLF") obligation. These ~~deemed landlord financing~~DLF obligations are generally non-cancelable leases with initial terms of 20 years containing various renewal options following the initial term and escalation clauses that increase the payments over the lease term.

With respect to the Company’s Toptracer operations, the Company enters into non-cancelable license agreements that provide software and hardware to driving ranges and ~~hospitality and entertainment venues.~~golf courses. These license agreements provide the customer the right to use Company-owned software and hardware products for a specified period generally ranging from three to five years. The software and hardware are a distinct bundle of goods that are highly interrelated. At the inception of the arrangement, lease classification is assessed, which generally results in the license agreements being classified as sales-type leases. Upon lease commencement for sales-type leases, revenue is recognized for the software and hardware as a single component, and a leasing receivable is recorded consisting of ~~initial payments received and~~ the present value of payments over the non-cancellable term. Interest income on the leasing receivable is recognized over the lease term.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue recognition of products and services in accordance with ~~Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)~~ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." See Note 4.

Product Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its golf clubs, golf balls, lifestyle and outdoor apparel, gear and accessories and golf apparel and accessories when it satisfies the terms of a sales order from a customer, and transfers control of the products ordered to the customer. Control transfers when products are shipped, and in certain cases, when products are received by customers under certain contract terms. In addition, the Company recognizes revenue at the point

of sale on transactions with consumers at its retail locations and retail shops at Topgolf locations. Sales taxes, value added taxes and other taxes that are collected in connection with revenue transactions are withheld and remitted to the respective taxing authorities. As such, these taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. Therefore, shipping and handling fees that are billed to customers are recognized in revenue and the associated shipping and handling costs are recognized in cost of products as soon as control of the goods transfers to the customer.

The Company, in exchange for a royalty fee, licenses its trademarks and service marks to third parties for use on products such as golf apparel and footwear, practice aids and other golf accessories. Royalty income is recognized over time as underlying product sales occur, subject to certain minimum royalties, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements. Royalty income is included in the Company's Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment.

Revenues from gift cards are deferred and recognized when the cards are ~~redeemed.~~redeemed for product purchases. The Company’s gift cards have no expiration date. The Company recognizes revenue from unredeemed gift cards, otherwise known as breakage, when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote and under circumstances that comply with any applicable state escheatment laws. To determine when redemption is remote, the Company analyzes an aging of unredeemed cards (based on the date the card was last used or the activation date if the card has never been used) and compares that information with historical

redemption trends. The Company uses this historical redemption rate to recognize breakage on unredeemed gift cards over the redemption period. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to determine the timing of recognition of gift card revenues.

Services Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from the operation of its Topgolf venues consisting primarily of revenues from food and beverage sales, event deposits, fees charged for gameplay, purchases of game credits and membership fees. In addition, services revenues are recognized through the redemption of gift cards, sponsorship contracts, franchise fees, leasing revenue, the Company’s World Golf Tour ("WGT") digital golf game and non-refundable deposits for venue reservations.

The Company's food and beverage revenue is recognized at the time of sale. Event deposits received from guests attributable to food and beverage purchases are deferred and recognized as revenue when the event is held. Food and beverage revenues are presented net of discounts. All sales taxes collected from guests are excluded from revenue in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and the obligation is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.

Fees charged for gameplay are recognized at the time of purchase. Event deposits received from guests attributable to gameplay purchases are deferred and recognized as revenue when the event is held. Purchases of game credits are deferred and recognized as revenue when: (i) the game credits are redeemed by the guest; or (ii) the likelihood of the game credits being redeemed by the guest is remote (“game credit breakage”). The Company uses historic game credit redemption patterns to determine the likelihood of game credit redemption and game credit breakage. Game credit breakage is recorded consistent with the historic redemption pattern.

Membership fees received from guests are deferred and recognized as revenue over the estimated life of the associated membership, which is one year or less.

Revenues from gift cards to purchase for food and beverage or gameplay at Topgolf locations are deferred and recognized when the cards are redeemed, consistent with the gift card policy on product revenues.

The Company enters into sponsorship contracts that provide advertising opportunities to market to Topgolf guests in the form of custom displays, lobby displays, digital and print posters and other advertising at Topgolf venues and on Topgolf websites. Sponsorship contracts are typically for a fixed price over a specified length of time and revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract period unless there is a different predominate pattern of performance.

franchise term for each venue, which generally ranges from 15 to 20 years. Revenue from sales-based royalties is recognized as the related sales occur.

Leasing revenue is recognized on non-cancelable sales-type lease agreements related to the licensing of Toptracer software and hardware to driving ranges and golf courses. See discussion above on sales-type leases.

The Company’s WGT digital golf game is a live service that allows players to play for free via web and mobile gaming platforms. Within the WGT digital golf game, players can purchase virtual currency to obtain virtual goods to enhance their game-playing experience. Revenues from purchases of virtual currency are deferred at the point of purchase and recognized as revenue over the average life of a player, determined using historic gameplay activity patterns.

Non-refundable deposits received for venue reservations are recognized at the time of purchase.

Variable Consideration

The Company offers certain discounts and promotions on its products and services. The amount of revenue the Company recognizes is based on the amount of consideration it expects to receive from customers. The amount of consideration is the sales price adjusted for estimates of variable consideration, including sales returns, discounts, and allowances as well as sales programs, sales promotions and price concessions that are offered by the Company as described below. These estimates are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed by customers on the related sales and are therefore recorded as reductions to ~~sales~~net revenue and trade accounts receivable.

The Company’s primary sales program, the “Preferred Retailer Program,” offers potential rebates and discounts for participating retailers in exchange for providing certain benefits to the Company, including the maintenance of agreed upon inventory levels, prime product placement and retailer staff training. Under this program, qualifying retailers can earn either discounts or rebates based upon the amount of product purchased. Discounts are applied and recorded at the time of sale. For rebates, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration related to the rebate at the time of sale based on the customer’s estimated qualifying current year product purchases. The estimate is based on the historical level of purchases, adjusted for any factors expected to affect the current year purchase levels. The estimated year-end rebate is adjusted quarterly based on actual purchase levels, as necessary. The Preferred Retailer Program is generally short-term in nature and the actual amount of rebate to be paid under this program is known as of the end of the year and paid to customers shortly after year-end. Historically, the Company's actual amount of variable consideration related to its Preferred Retailer Program has not been materially different from its estimates.

The Company also offers short-term sales program incentives, which include sell-through promotions and price concessions or price reductions. Sell-through promotions are generally offered throughout the product's life cycle of approximately two years, and price concessions or price reductions are generally offered at the end of the product's life cycle. The estimated variable consideration related to these programs is based on a rate that includes historical and forecasted data. The Company records a reduction to ~~net~~product revenues using this rate at the time of the sale. The Company monitors this rate against actual results and forecasted estimates and adjusts the rate as deemed necessary to reflect the amount of consideration it expects to receive from its customers. There were no material changes to the rate during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and 2020. Historically, the Company's actual amount of variable consideration related to these sales programs has not been materially different from its estimates.

The Company records an estimate for anticipated returns as a reduction of sales and cost of sales, and accounts receivable, in the period that the related sales are recorded. Sales returns are estimated based upon historical returns, current economic trends, changes in customer demands and sell-through of products. The Company also offers certain customers sales programs that allow for specific returns. The Company records a return liability as an offset to accounts receivable for anticipated returns related to these sales programs at the time of the sale based on the terms of the sales program. The cost recovery of inventory associated with this reserve is accounted for in other current assets. Historically, the Company’s actual sales returns have not been materially different from management’s original estimates.

~~Services Revenue~~

The Company recognizes revenue from the operation of its Topgolf venues consisting primarily of food and beverage sales, event deposits, fees charged for gameplay, purchases of game credits and membership fees. In addition, services sales are recognized through the redemption of gift cards, sponsorship contracts, franchise fees, leasing revenue, the Company’s World Golf Tour ("WGT") digital golf game and non-refundable deposits for venue reservations.

The Company's food and beverage revenue is recognized at the time of sale. Event deposits received from guests attributable to food and beverage purchases are deferred and recognized as revenue when the event is held. Food and beverage revenues are presented net of discounts. All sales taxes collected from guests are excluded from revenue in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and the obligation is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.

being redeemed by the guest is remote (“game credit breakage”). The Company uses historic game credit redemption patterns to determine the likelihood of game credit redemption. Game credit breakage is recorded consistent with the historic redemption pattern.

~~Membership fees received from guests are deferred and recognized as revenue over the estimated life of the associated membership.~~

The Company enters into international development agreements that grant franchise partners the right to develop, open and operate a certain number of venues within a particular geographic area. The franchise partner may be required to pay a territory fee upon entering into a development agreement and a franchise fee for each developed venue. The franchisee will also pay ongoing royalty fees based upon a percentage of sales. The initial franchise term provided for each venue generally ranges from 15 to 20 years and provides the option for renewal. The franchise of each individual venue within an arrangement represents a single performance obligation. Therefore, territory fees and franchise fees for each arrangement are allocated to each individual venue and recognized over the term of the respective franchise agreement, including renewal options. Revenue from sales-based royalties is recognized as the related sales occur. The franchisee may also purchase Topgolf-specific equipment and supplies from the Company to be used at the licensed venue. The Company has determined that it is the principal in these transactions and record the related revenue and cost of services on a gross basis.

Leasing revenue results from non-cancelable sales-type lease agreements that provide Toptracer software and hardware to driving ranges and hospitality and entertainment venues. See discussion above on sales-type leases.

~~Non-refundable deposits received for venue reservations are recognized at the time of purchase.~~

Cost of Products

The Company’s cost of products is comprised primarily of variable costs that fluctuate with sales volumes, including raw materials and component costs, merchandise from third parties, conversion costs including direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and inbound freight, duties, and shipping charges. In addition, cost of products ~~include hardware costs with respect to Topgolf's Toptracer license agreements classified as sales-type leases, and~~includes retail merchandise costs for products sold in retail shops within Topgolf venue facilities. Fixed overhead expenses include warehousing costs, indirect labor, and supplies, as well as depreciation expense associated with assets used to manufacture

and distribute products. In addition, cost of products includes adjustments to reflect inventory at its net realizable value, as well as adjustments for obsolescence and product warranties.

Cost of Services, Excluding Depreciation and Amortization

The Company’s cost of services primarily consists of food and beverage costs and transaction fees with respect to in-app purchases within the Company’s WGT digital golf game. In addition, cost of services includes costs associated with Topgolf's Toptracer license agreements classified as sales-type leases. Food and beverage costs are variable by nature, change with sales volume, and are impacted by product mix and commodity pricing. Cost of services excludes employee costs as well as depreciation and amortization.

Other Venue Expenses

Other venue expenses ~~consists~~consist of salaries and wages, bonuses, commissions, payroll taxes, and other employee costs that directly support venue operations, in addition to rent and occupancy costs, property taxes, depreciation associated with

venues, supplies, credit card fees and marketing expenses. Other venue expenses include both fixed and variable components and are therefore not directly correlated with revenue.

Venue Pre-Opening Costs

Pre-opening costs primarily include costs associated with activities prior to the opening of a new ~~company-operated~~Company-operated venue, as well as other costs that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing performance. Pre-opening costs consist of, but are not limited to, labor, rent, occupancy costs, travel and marketing expenses. Pre-opening costs fluctuate based on the timing, size and location of new ~~company-operated~~Company-operated venues.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

SG&A expenses are comprised primarily of employee costs, advertising and promotional costs, tour expenses, legal and professional fees, travel expenses, building and rent expenses, depreciation charges (excluding those related to manufacturing and distribution operations), amortization of intangible assets, and other miscellaneous expenses.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses are comprised of costs to develop or significantly improve the Company's products and technology, which primarily include the salaries and wages of personnel engaged in research and development activities, research costs and depreciation expense. Other than software development costs qualifying for capitalization, research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is primarily comprised of deposits associated with gift cards as required under certain statutory mandates, and lender impound reserve accounts for the development of one of the Company’s venues. Long-term restricted cash is included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2021. The Company had no restricted cash as of December 31, 2020. The following is a summary of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):


	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Cash and cash equivalents	$	508,177	$	366,119
Restricted cash, short-term	1,754		—
Restricted cash, long-term	3,928		—
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	513,859	$	366,119

Inventories

Unless otherwise stated below, the Company's inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which includes a reserve for excess, obsolete and/or unmarketable inventory. This reserve is regularly assessed based on current inventory levels, sales trends, and historical experience, as well as management’s estimates of market conditions and forecasts of future product demand, all of which are subject to change. The Company utilizes the standard costing method, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, for its golf equipment inventory and soft goods inventory sold under the TravisMathew, OGIO, ~~and~~ Callaway ~~brands,~~ and ~~the weighted average costing method for soft goods inventory sold under the~~ Jack Wolfskin ~~brand.~~brands. Golf equipment inventory, which is directly manufactured by the Company, includes finished goods, raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead costs and work in process. The

Company's soft goods product lines, which are manufactured by third-party contractors, primarily include finished good products. Toptracer hardware and software, food and beverage products and Topgolf-specific retail merchandise inventories are stated at weighted average cost.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives generally as follows:


Buildings and improvements			10-40 years
Machinery and equipment			5-10 years
Furniture, ~~computers~~computer hardware and equipment			3-5 years
Internal-use software			3-5 years
Production molds			2-5 years

Buildings capitalized in conjunction with ~~deemed landlord financing~~DLF obligations where the Company is deemed to be the accounting owner are depreciated, less residual value, over the shorter of 20 years or the lease term.

Normal repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially increase values, change capacities, or extend useful lives are capitalized. The related costs and accumulated depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss on disposition is recognized in earnings. ~~Construction in-process~~Construction-in-process consists primarily of costs associated with building improvements, machinery and equipment and venues under construction that have not yet been placed into service, unfinished molds as well as in-process internal-use software.

In accordance with ASC Topic 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” the Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software. Costs incurred in the preliminary project stage are expensed. All direct external costs and internal direct labor costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the development stage are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful lives. Costs such as maintenance and training are expensed as incurred.

In accordance with ASC Topic 985-20, “Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed,” costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are expensed and recorded in research and development expense on the consolidated condensed statements of operations. Once technological feasibility is established, costs are capitalized until the product is available for general use and then depreciated over the estimated useful life.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company's intangible assets, which are comprised of goodwill, trade names, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, customer and distributor relationships, developed technology, non-competes, patents and ~~patents~~liquor licenses, were acquired in connection with the acquisitions of Odyssey Sports, Inc., FrogTrader, Inc., OGIO, TravisMathew, Jack Wolfskin, certain foreign distributors and the recently completed merger with Topgolf on March 8, 2021.

In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually or more frequently when events indicate that an impairment exists. The Company calculates impairment as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets over their estimated fair ~~value.~~value of the reporting unit or intangible asset. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimate of fair value a write-down is recorded. To determine fair value, the Company uses discounted cash flow estimates, quoted market prices, royalty rates when available and independent appraisals when appropriate.

During the second quarter of 2020, due to the significant disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, the Company performed a qualitative assessment considering the macroeconomic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the potential impact on the Company's revenue and operating income for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and potentially beyond. As a result, the Company determined that there were indicators of impairment, and proceeded with a quantitative assessment to test the recoverability of goodwill for all its reporting units, in addition to the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting primarily of the trade names and trademarks associated with the Company's brands. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that the fair values of the Jack Wolfskin reporting unit and the Jack Wolfskin trade name were less than their carrying values. As a result, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized impairment losses to write-off the goodwill associated with the Jack Wolfskin reporting

unit and write-down the trade name associated with the Jack Wolfskin brand name to its new estimated fair value. There were no further impairments recognized over the remainder of 2020. For further discussion, see Note 9.

Intangible assets that are determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are measured for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” ~~as discussed above,~~ only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Company’s intangible assets.

Costs related to the development, maintenance, or renewal of internally developed intangible assets that are inherent in the Company's continuing business and relate to the Company as a whole, that were not acquired as a part of a business combination or asset acquisition, are expensed as incurred.

Note 3. Leases

As of March 31, 2021, the Company was the accounting owner of 10 landlord buildings under deemed landlord financing contracts. As of March 31, 2021, the net book value included in property, plant and equipment related to these buildings on the consolidated condensed balance sheet totaled $280,864,000. The Company depreciates these properties over the initial lease term of 20 years or over their estimated useful life, whichever is shorter.

Sales-Type Leases

Operating and Finance Leases

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company received certain rent concessions in the form of deferments and abatement on a few of its operating leases. The Company opted to ~~not modify these leases in accordance with the~~apply FASB Staff Q&A-Topic 842 and Topic 840: "Accounting For Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic" issued in April 2020, and account for these concessions as if they were made under the enforceable rights included in the original agreement. Rent deferments were recorded as a payable and paid at a later negotiated date. Rent abatements were recognized as reductions in rent expense over the periods covered by the abatement period. The Company received rent deferments of $687,000, which were recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020, and rent abatements of $120,000 and $1,431,000, which were recorded as reductions in rent expense in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Note 5. Estimated Credit Losses

The Company's trade accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an appropriate allowance for estimated credit losses, as well as reserves related to product returns and sales programs as described in Note 4. Under ASC Topic 326, the “expected credit loss” model replaces the “incurred loss” model and requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the life of the asset. ~~The Company's prior methodology for estimating credit losses on trade accounts receivable did not differ significantly from the new requirements of ASC 326.~~ Specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. An estimate of credit losses for the remaining customers in the aggregate is based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, the customers' financial condition, all of which are subject to change. Additionally, the Company’s monitoring activities ~~now~~ consider future reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions to adjust all general reserve percentages as necessary. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and determined, based on current information, that the estimate of credit losses as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 was not significantly impacted.

Actual uncollected amounts have historically been consistent with the Company’s expectations. The ~~Company's~~Company’s payment terms on its receivables from customers are generally 60 days or less.

Note 6. Business Combinations

Merger with Topgolf International, Inc.

On March 8, 2021, the Company completed its ~~previously announced~~ merger with Topgolf, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 27, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”). Topgolf is a leading ~~tech-enabled~~technology-enabled golf entertainment business, with an innovative platform that comprises its state-of-the-art open-air golf and entertainment venues, ~~revolutionary~~ Toptracer ball-tracking technology and innovative media platform with a differentiated position in eSports. The ~~combined company~~Company will benefit from a compelling family of brands with reach across multiple channels including retail, venues, e-commerce and digital communities.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the merger, the Company issued approximately 89,776,450 unrestricted and fully vested shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Topgolf (excluding approximately 12,329,721 shares of the Company’s common stock that would have been allocated to the Company in the merger based on the shares of Topgolf held by the Company) for 100% of the outstanding equity of Topgolf, at an exchange ratio based on an equity value of Topgolf of $1,987,000,000 (or $1,748,000,000 excluding Topgolf shares that were held by the Company) and a price per share of the Company's common stock fixed at $19.40 per share (the “Callaway Share Price”). The actual purchase consideration upon the closing of the merger of $3,014,174,000 (or $2,650,201,000 excluding Topgolf shares that were held by the Company) was based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued, multiplied by the closing price of $29.52 of the Company's common stock on March 8, 2021. Additionally, the Company converted certain stock options previously held by former equity holders of Topgolf into options to purchase a number of shares of Callaway common stock, and certain outstanding restricted stock awards of Topgolf, into 187,568 shares of Callaway common stock (together, the "replacement awards"). The Company included $33,051,000 in the consideration transferred in the merger for these replacement awards, which represents the fair value of the vested portion the replacement awards. The unvested portion of these replacement awards related to future services that will be rendered in the post-combination period will be recognized as compensation expense over the remaining vesting ~~period.~~period (see Note 15). In addition, the Company converted issued and outstanding warrants to purchase certain preferred shares of Topgolf into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Callaway common stock. The fair value of the consideration transferred in the merger related to these warrants totaled $1,625,000. The purchase consideration, together with the fair value of the consideration transferred for outstanding stock awards and warrants totaled $3,048,850,000.

The Company previously held approximately 14.3% of Topgolf's outstanding shares. Immediately following the closing of the merger, the Company's stockholders, as of immediately prior to the merger, owned approximately 51.3% of the outstanding shares of the combined company, and former Topgolf stockholders, other than Callaway, owned approximately 48.7% of the outstanding shares of the combined company.

The Company allocated the purchase price to the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets include the Topgolf trade name, developed technology, Topgolf's investment in Full Swing ~~Suite golf and multi-sport simulator,~~Golf Holdings, Inc. ("Full Swing"), customer relationships and liquor licenses. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets and liabilities was allocated to goodwill. The Company determined the preliminary estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information as of the acquisition date, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and

estimates made by management. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary based on management's estimates and assumptions and may be subject to change as additional information is received and certain tax returns are finalized. ~~We expect~~The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date.

The allocation of the purchase price presented below was based on management's preliminary estimate of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. These valuation techniques incorporate the use of expected future revenues, cash flows and growth rates as well as estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and liabilities are valued at historical carrying values, which approximates fair ~~value.~~value, except as described below. The trade name was valued under the royalty savings income approach method, which is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the trade name as opposed to paying a third party for its use. For this valuation the Company used a royalty rate of 2.5%, which is reflective of royalty rates paid in market transactions, and a discount rate of 7.0% to 8.5% on the future cash flows generated by the net after-tax savings. The fair value of the Topgolf hitting bays, Toptracer ball-tracking technology and the WGT digital game was based on a combination of

valuation methodologies, including the residual net income approach, royalty savings income approach and the cost approach. The Company utilized the options pricing model and revenue multiples of comparable companies to determine the fair value of the investment in Full Swing. Customer relationships and liquor licenses were valued using the replacement cost method. The Company amortizes the fair value of the finite-lived intangibles, which include technology and customer relationships, over a period ranging between one and ten years. ~~Additionally, the Company completed a~~The estimated fair value of operating leases was determined based on current market ~~analysis of the assumed operating and deemed landlord financed leases to determine if the~~ terms, ~~of these leases are favorable or unfavorable relative to market terms. The analysis~~which resulted in a net unfavorable adjustment ~~in the underlying value of~~to the right-of-use ~~asset of each lease. The Company also completed a replacement cost analysis of property,~~asset.

In May 2019, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America N.A. and other lenders, which provides a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $400,000,000 (the ~~"ABL Facility"~~“ABL Facility”), comprised of a $260,000,000 U.S. facility, a $70,000,000 German facility, a $25,000,000 Canadian facility and a $45,000,000 United Kingdom facility, in each case subject to borrowing base availability under the applicable facility. The amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility are secured by certain assets, including cash (to the extent pledged by the Company), certain intellectual property, certain eligible real estate, inventory and accounts receivable of the Company’s subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom. The real estate and intellectual property components of the borrowing base under the ABL Facility are both amortizing. The amount available for the real estate portion is reduced quarterly over a 15-year period, and the amount available for the intellectual property portion is reduced quarterly over a ~~3-year~~three-year period.

Amounts available under the ABL Facility increase and decrease with changes in the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable balances. Average outstanding borrowings during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $17,090,000, and average amounts available under the ABL Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2021, after outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, was approximately $246,984,000.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, average outstanding borrowings were $20,237,000 and average amount available, after outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, was approximately $307,753,000.

In April 2020, the Company amended the ABL Facility to permit a customary capped call transaction (see ~~"Convertible~~“Convertible Senior ~~Notes"~~Notes” below) in connection with the issuance of convertible debt securities by the Company and to permit the Company to incur loans or financial assistance of up to $50,000,000 pursuant to governmental programs enacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company had not drawn on these funds. In addition, the ABL Facility imposes restrictions on the amount the Company could pay in annual cash dividends, including certain restrictions on the amount of additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a certain fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances. In addition, in connection with the merger with Topgolf (see Note 6), the Company amended the ABL Facility to, among other things, permit the consummation of the merger, designate Topgolf and its subsidiaries as excluded subsidiaries under the ABL Facility and amend certain covenants and other provisions to allow the Company to make certain investments in, and enter into certain transactions with Topgolf. Fees in connection with this amendment will be combined with existing debt origination and amendment fees and amortized over the remaining term of the ABL Facility.

The ABL Facility includes certain restrictions including, among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, liens, stock repurchases and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions. Additionally, the Company is subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant of at least 1.0 to 1.0 during, and continuing 30 days after, any period in which the Company’s borrowing base availability, as amended, falls below 10% of the maximum facility amount or $40,000,000. The Company’s borrowing base availability was above $40,000,000 during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, and the Company was in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. Had the Company not been in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the maximum amount of additional indebtedness that could have been outstanding on ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 would have been reduced by $40,000,000. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, in addition to the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, the Company was in compliance with all other financial covenants of the ABL Facility.

The interest rate applicable to outstanding loans under the ABL Facility fluctuates depending on the Company’s “availability ~~ratio,"~~ratio” which is expressed as a percentage of (i) the average daily availability under the ABL Facility to (ii) the sum of the Canadian, the German, the U.K. and the U.S. borrowing bases, as adjusted. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 the Company’s trailing 12-month average interest rate applicable to its outstanding loans under the ABL Facility was ~~3.43%~~3.07%. Additionally, the ABL Facility provides for monthly fees of 0.25% of the unused portion of the ABL Facility.

Fees in connection with the origination of the ABL Facility and prior amendments are amortized in interest expense over the term of the facility. Unamortized origination fees at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $1,652,000 and $1,891,000, respectively, of which $1,043,000 and $1,031,000, respectively, were included in other current assets and $609,000 and $859,000, respectively, were included in other long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets.

Until the Company demonstrates compliance with the 5.50:1.00 total leverage ratio test for the period ending on or about September 30, 2022 (or terminate the period of relief at an earlier date after demonstrating compliance with the 5.50:1.00 total leverage ratio test), the Company is required to maintain unrestricted cash on hand and/or availability under the Topgolf Credit Facilities of not less than $30,000,000.As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Topgolf Credit Facilities also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations. The Topgolf Term Loan also contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative covenants, and certain reporting obligations.

~~Japan Term Loan Facility~~Convertible Notes

In August 2020, the Company entered into a new five-year Term Loan facility (the "2020 Japan Term Loan Facility") between its subsidiary in Japan and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) for 2,000,000,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $18,064,000 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021). The 2020 Japan Term Loan Facility is due in August 2025.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 1,800,000,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $16,257,000 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021) outstanding, of which 400,000,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $3,612,800 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021) is reflected in current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. Total interest expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 was 3,891,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $37,000 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021).

Loans under the 2020 Japan Term Loan Facility are subject to a rate per annum of either, at the Company’s option, SMBC TIBOR or TIBOR plus 80 basis points. Principal payments of 100,000,000 Yen (or approximately U.S. $903,000 using the exchange rate in effect as of March 31, 2021) are due quarterly and the facility imposes certain restrictions including covenants to certain financial performance obligations. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

~~Convertible Senior Notes~~

On May 4, 2020, the Company issued $258,750,000 of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per annum on the principal amount, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2020. The Convertible Notes ~~will~~ mature on May 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted. The Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, and (to the extent the Company is not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Company may settle the Convertible Notes through cash settlement, physical settlement, or combination settlement at its election. Therefore, the Convertible Notes were separated into a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects the interest cost of a similar nonconvertible debt instrument. ~~The carrying amount~~At inception, the fair value of the liability component ~~totaling $185,861,000, as of March 31, 2021,~~ was determined by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component. The carrying amount of the ~~equity~~liability component ~~(the conversion feature) and~~was $191,534,000 as of September 30, 2021. The carrying amount of the discount on the Convertible Notes, totaling $62,324,000 as of ~~$67,584,000,~~September 30, 2021, is amortized over the remaining term of approximately ~~5.1~~4.6 years. The conversion feature of $76,508,000 was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds ascribed to the Convertible Notes.

The Company incurred $8,527,000 of cost associated with the issuance of the Convertible Notes. These debt issuance costs were allocated between the debt and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds to those components. As such, $6,005,000 was allocated to the liability component of the Convertible Notes, and $2,522,000 was allocated to the equity conversion feature. ~~Unamortized debt issuance costs at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $5,305,000 and $5,504,000, respectively.~~

The discount on the Convertible Notes as ~~wells~~well as the debt issuance costs allocated to the liability component are amortized over the term of the Convertible Notes using the effective interest rate method.

All or any portion of the Convertible Notes may be converted at the conversion rate and at the holders' option on or after February 1, 2026 until the close of business on the second trading day immediately prior to the maturity date. Additionally, all or any portion of the Convertible ~~Note~~Notes may be converted at the conversion rate at the holders' option upon the occurrence of certain contingent conversion events, including (i) if the price of the Company’s common stock is more than 130% of the conversion price of the Convertible Notes for any 20 of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the calendar quarter, subsequent to the quarter ending September 30, 2020; (ii) if the trading price of the Convertible Notes, after a consecutive ten trading day period, is less than 98% of the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock multiplied by the conversion rate in effect (iii) upon the occurrence of certain corporate events or distributions on the Company’s common stock, as described in the Indenture; or (iv) if the Company calls the Convertible Notes for redemption.

Upon conversion, the Company has the option to settle the conversion obligation in any combination of cash and shares. The initial conversion rate is 56.7698 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of $17.62 per share. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the price of the Company's common stock was higher than the initial conversion price. Therefore, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount.

The Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes (i) on or after May 6, 2023, but before the 40th trading day prior to the maturity date if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for any 20 of 30 consecutive trading days; (ii) upon a Fundamental Change (where holders can require settlement entirely in cash); or (iii) upon an Event of Default. The Company will also be required to pay additional interest upon (i) failure to timely file with the ~~SEC,~~Commission, (ii) failure to allow the Convertible Notes to be freely tradable, or (iii) upon an Event of Default solely related to failure to timely file with the ~~Trustee.~~trustee.

In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes on April 29, 2020, the Company paid $31,775,000 to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions ("(“Capped ~~Calls"~~Calls”) with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Bank of America, N.A. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as well as with each of the option counterparties. The Capped Calls cover the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes, and are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes, and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Convertible Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. The cap price of the Capped Calls is initially $27.10. The Capped Calls are recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and are not accounted for as derivatives.

The Convertible Notes will have an impact on the Company’s diluted earnings per share when the average market price of its common stock exceeds the conversion price of $17.62 per share, as the Company intends to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash upon conversion. ~~As of March 31,~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the average market price of the Company's common stock was ~~$27.74,~~$30.85, which exceeded the conversion price. As such, the Company used the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive shares of common stock related to the Convertible Notes for periods the Company reported net income. Upon conversion, there will be no economic dilution from the Convertible Notes until the average market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of $27.10 per share, as exercise of the Capped Calls offsets any dilution from the Convertible Notes from the conversion price up to the cap price. Capped Calls are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they would be anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

Equipment Notes

Between December 2017 and August 2020, the Company entered into 4 long-term financing agreements (the “Equipment Notes”) with Bank of America N.A. and other lenders to invest in its golf ball manufacturing facility in Chicopee, Massachusetts, its North American Distribution Center in Roanoke, Texas, and in corporate IT equipment. The loans are secured by the underlying equipment at each facility and the IT equipment.

Interest expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $205,000 and $247,000, respectively. Interest expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $665,000 and $624,000, respectively.

The Equipment Notes are subject to compliance with the financial covenants in the Company's ABL Facility. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Mortgage Loans

In connection with the merger with Topgolf on March 8, 2021, the Company assumed 3 mortgage loans related to the construction of 3 venues. The loans require either monthly (i) principal and interest payments or (ii) interest-only payments until their maturity dates. For loans requiring monthly interest-only payments, the entire unpaid principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest is due on the maturity date. The mortgage loans are secured by the assets of each respective venue.

The following table presents the Company's combined aggregate amount of maturities for the Company's long-term debt over the next five years and thereafter as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. Amounts payable under the ABL Facility are excluded from this table as they are short-term in nature. Amounts payable under the Term Loan Facility included below represent the minimum principal repayment obligations. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company does not anticipate excess cash flow repayments as defined by the Term Loan Facility.

Note 8. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings per common share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding securities were exercised. Dilutive securities are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share using the treasury stock method in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units granted to employees and non-employee directors (see Note 15), as well as common shares underlying convertible notes (see Note 7).

Weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted is the same as weighted-average common shares outstanding—basic in periods when a net loss is reported or in periods when anti-dilution occurs.

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 10. Investments

Investment in Topgolf International, Inc.

Prior to the completion of the merger with Topgolf, the Company owned a minority interest of approximately 14.3% in Topgolf, the owner and operator of Topgolf entertainment centers. On March 8, 2021, the Company completed its ~~previously announced~~ merger with Topgolf, in which the Company issued shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding equity of Topgolf (see Note 6). As a result of the merger, the Company's shares of Topgolf comprised of common stock and various classes of preferred stock were stepped up to their fair value and applied toward the total purchase consideration in the merger. The fair value adjustment resulted in a gain of ~~$252,531,000, which the Company recognized in other income in the first quarter of 2021.~~$252,531,000.

Immediately prior to the merger and at December 31, 2020, the Company's total investment in Topgolf was $111,442,000. The Company accounted for this investment at cost less impairments in accordance with ~~ASC~~ASU No. 2016-01. Prior to the merger, the Company did not record any impairments with respect to this investment.

As a result of the transaction, the Company now owns a minority interest of 7.3% in Full Swing.

Note 11. Product Warranty

The Company has a stated two-year warranty policy for its golf clubs and certain Jack Wolfskin gear, as well as a limited lifetime warranty for its OGIO line of products. The Company’s policy is to accrue the estimated cost of satisfying future warranty claims at the time the sale is recorded. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various relevant factors, including the Company’s stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty.

The Company’s estimates for calculating the warranty reserve are principally based on assumptions regarding the warranty costs of each product line over the expected warranty period. Where little or no claims experience may exist, the Company’s warranty obligation calculation is based upon long-term historical warranty rates of similar products until sufficient data is available. As actual model-specific rates become available, the Company’s estimates are modified to reflect the range of likely outcomes.

Note 13. Income Taxes

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC Topic 270, “Interim Reporting,” and ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” At the end of ~~each interim period,~~nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary quarterly earnings to calculate the tax related to

ordinary income. The tax effects for other items that are excluded from ordinary income are discretely calculated and recognized in the period in which they ~~occur.~~

occur
.

In March 2021, the Company acquired Topgolf through a non-taxable stock acquisition in a share exchange. The ~~fair market value~~purchase price of Topgolf at acquisition was approximately $3,014,174,000. The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of approximately ~~$288,000,000~~$293,000,000 related to the acquired intangibles, offset by approximately $154,000,000 of other acquired deferred tax assets, after consideration of acquired valuation allowances. ~~See~~

In January 2019, the Company acquired Jack Wolfskin for approximately $521,201,000 (including cash acquired of $58,096,000). The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $88,392,000 related to the intangibles upon acquisition in addition to $11,384,000 of deferred tax assets acquired. In the second quarter of 2020, due to a decline in projected revenues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $174,269,000 to write down the goodwill and trade name associated with Jack Wolfskin to its fair value (see Note ~~6 for further details.~~9). The impaired goodwill was comprised of book basis over tax basis with no corresponding deferred tax liability. The brand value impairment resulted in the reduction of approximately $7,900,000 of the deferred tax liability previously recorded as part of acquisition accounting.

The realization of deferred tax assets, including loss and credit carryforwards, is subject to the Company generating sufficient taxable income during the periods in which the deferred tax assets become realizable. As a result of the Topgolf merger and the fact that Topgolf’s losses exceed ~~Callaway’s~~the Company’s income in recent years, the Company recorded a valuation allowance in its income tax provision of approximately $38,927,000 against certain of its net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards during the ~~quarter.~~three months ended March 31, 2021. In connection with the purchase accounting related to the merger with Topgolf, the Company also recorded a valuation allowance in goodwill of approximately $80,566,000 against certain Topgolf deferred tax assets acquired in the merger. ~~The~~As a consequence of utilizing the annual effective tax rate method to record tax provision impacts instead of utilizing the discrete effective tax rate method used in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company ~~will continue to assess this amount through~~recorded Topgolf valuation allowances of approximately $32,743,000 which were previously released during the ~~measurement period.~~three months ended June 30, 2021. With respect to Jack Wolfskin and previously existing non-U.S. entities, there continues to be sufficient positive evidence to conclude that realization of its deferred tax assets is more likely than not under applicable accounting rules, and therefore no significant valuation allowances have been established.

~~For~~The Company recorded income tax expense of $66,229,000 and $98,119,000 for the ~~quarter~~three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, respectively. As a percentage of pre-tax income, the Company's effective tax rate was 131.8% and 22.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. In the three months ended September 30, 2021, the ~~Company recorded an income tax provision of $47,743,000 with an~~primary difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate relates to utilizing the annual effective tax rate method for the three months ended September 30, 2021 instead of ~~14.9%. The~~utilizing the discrete effective tax rate method which was used for the three months ended June 30, 2021. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the primary difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate relates to excluding the book gain on pre-merger Topgolf shares for tax purposes offset by ~~the~~ valuation allowances on the ~~Company's~~Company’s deferred tax assets discussed above. For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $9,151,000 with an effective rate of 24.1%. The primary difference between the statutory rate and the effective rate relates to the effect of the mix of foreign and U.S. earnings.assets.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the gross liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was ~~$28,420,000.~~$27,265,000. Of this amount, ~~$6,752,000~~$5,463,000 would benefit the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements and effective income tax rate if favorably settled. The unrecognized tax liabilities are expected to decrease by approximately ~~$452,000~~$463,000 during the next 12 months. The gross liability for uncertain tax positions increased by ~~$118,000~~$237,000 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 primarily due to increases in tax positions taken during the current quarter, as well as currency translation adjustments. The gross liability for uncertain tax positions decreased by $1,037,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in effectively settled tax positions taken in the current year.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company's provision for income taxes includes a benefit of ~~$331,000~~$46,000 and an expense of ~~$29,000,~~$110,000, respectively, related to the recognition of interest and/or penalties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company's provision for income taxes includes a benefit of $236,000 and an expense of $163,000, respectively, related to the recognition of interest and/or penalties. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the gross amount of accrued interest and penalties included in income taxes payable in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets was ~~$901,000~~$996,000 and $1,232,000, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities in the following major jurisdictions:


Tax Jurisdiction						Years No Longer Subject to Audit
U.S. federal						2010 and prior
California (U.S.)						2008 and prior
Germany						2013 and prior
Japan						~~2014~~2015 and prior
South Korea						2015 and prior
United Kingdom						2016 and prior

Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, use of the Company's net operating losses and credit carry-forwards may be limited ~~significantly~~ if the Company were to experience a cumulative change in ownership of the Company's stock by “5-percent shareholders” that exceeds 50% over a rolling three-year period. The Company believes a cumulative change in ownership occurred as a result of the merger with Topgolf, for the Company and Topgolf. The resulting limitations are not expected to have an adverse impact on future combined earnings of the Company. The limitation on losses and credits could impact future cash flows but those impacts are not expected to be significant.

Note 14. Commitments & Contingencies

Legal Matters

The Company is subject to routine legal claims, proceedings, and investigations incident to its business activities, including claims, proceedings, and investigations relating to commercial disputes and employment matters. The Company also receives from time to time information claiming that products sold by the Company infringe or may infringe patent, trademark, or other intellectual property rights of third parties. One or more such claims of potential infringement could lead to litigation, the need to obtain licenses, the need to alter a product to avoid infringement, a settlement or judgment, or some other action or material loss by the Company, which also could adversely affect the Company’s overall ability to protect its product designs and ultimately limit its future success in the marketplace. In addition, the Company is occasionally subject to non-routine claims, proceedings, or investigations.

The Company regularly assesses such matters to determine the degree of probability that the Company will incur a material loss as a result of such matters, as well as the range of possible loss. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s financial statements if it is probable the Company will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews all claims, proceedings, and investigations at least quarterly and establishes or adjusts any accruals for such matters to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. All legal costs associated with such matters are expensed as incurred.

Historically, the claims, proceedings, and investigations brought against the Company, individually and in the aggregate, have not had a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company. The Company believes that it has valid legal defenses to the matters currently pending against the Company. ~~These~~However, these matters are inherently unpredictable and the resolutions of these matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, management is unable to estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary loss, amounts covered by insurance, or the financial impact that will result from such matters. In addition, the Company cannot assure that it will be able to successfully defend itself in those matters, or that any amounts accrued are sufficient.

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

During the normal course of its business, the Company enters into agreements to purchase goods and services, including purchase commitments for production materials, as well as endorsement agreements with professional athletes and other endorsers, employment and consulting agreements, and intellectual property licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company is required to pay royalty fees. It is not possible to determine the amounts the Company will ultimately be required to pay under these agreements as they are subject to many variables including performance-based bonuses, severance arrangements, the Company’s sales levels, and reductions in payment obligations if designated minimum

performance criteria are not achieved. The amounts listed approximate minimum purchase obligations, base compensation, and guaranteed minimum royalty payments the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. The actual amounts paid under some of these agreements may be higher or lower than the amounts included. In the aggregate, the actual amount paid under these obligations is likely to be higher than the amounts listed as a result of the variable nature of these obligations. The Company has entered into many of these contractual agreements with terms ranging from one to four years.

The minimum obligation that the Company is required to pay as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 under these agreements is ~~$109,882,000~~$85,143,000 over the next ~~four~~five years and thereafter as follows (in thousands):

2025				2025	124
Thereafter				Thereafter	—
					$	85,143

		$	109,882

In addition, the Company also enters into unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors and suppliers of goods and services in the normal course of operations through purchase orders or other documentation or that are

undocumented except for an invoice. Such unconditional purchase obligations are generally outstanding for periods less than a year and are settled by cash payments upon delivery of goods and services and are not reflected in this total.

Other Contingent Contractual Obligations

During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of Company product or trademarks, (ii) indemnities and guarantees to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facilities or leases, (iii) indemnities, commitments, and/or guarantees to vendors and service providers pertaining to the goods and services provided to the Company or based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, ~~and~~ (iv) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain ~~contracts.~~contracts, and (v) indemnities, commitments, and/or guarantees in connection with the Company's credit facilities. In addition, the Company has consulting agreements that provide for payment of nominal fees upon the issuance of patents and/or the commercialization of research results. The Company has also issued guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit.

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 the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to indemnities have not been material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company believes the likelihood is remote that payments under the commitments and guarantees described above will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The fair value of indemnities, commitments and guarantees that the Company issued during and as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Employment Contracts

~~In addition, the~~The Company has made contractual commitments to each of its officers and certain other employees providing for severance payments, including salary continuation, upon the termination of employment by the Company without substantial cause or by the officer for good reason or non-renewal. In addition, in order to assure that the officers would continue to provide independent leadership consistent with the Company’s best interest, the contracts also generally provide for certain protections in the event of a change in control of the Company. These protections include the payment of certain severance benefits, such as salary continuation, upon the termination of employment following a change in control.

Note 15. Share-Based Employee Compensation

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company had 3 shareholder approved stock plans under which shares were available for equity-based awards: the Callaway Golf Company Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Plan, the 2013 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan and the 2021 Employment Inducement ~~Plan. The~~Plan, which was adopted in connection with the merger with Topgolf on March 8, 2021. This inducement plan has substantially the same terms as the Company's other stock plans. In general, the Company grants stock options, restricted stock units, performance ~~share units,~~based awards, phantom stock units ~~stock appreciation rights~~ and other awards under these plans.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation arrangements in accordance with ASC Topic 718 and ASU No. 2014-12, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense, net of an estimated forfeiture rate, for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair values, and ASU No. 2014-12 for stock awards that are subject to performance measures. ASC Topic 718 further requires a reduction in share-based compensation expense by an estimated forfeiture rate. The forfeiture rate used by the Company is based on historical forfeiture trends. If actual forfeiture rates are not consistent with the Company’s estimates, the Company may be required to increase or decrease compensation expenses in future periods.

In connection with the merger with Topgolf, on March 8, 2021, the Company granted restricted stock units and performance share units to certain employees of the Company and Topgolf under the 2021 Employment Inducement Plan that was adopted by the Company as of the merger date. This inducement plan has substantially the same terms as the Company’s other stock plans.directors.

Replacement Awards

In connection with the merger with Topgolf, the Company converted certain stock options previously held by former equity holders of Topgolf into options to purchase a number of shares of Callaway common stock, and certain outstanding

restricted stock awards of Topgolf ~~to the extent unvested,~~ into shares of Callaway common stock (together, the "replacement awards"). ~~On March 8, 2021,~~The Company included $33,051,000 in the ~~Company converted approximately~~consideration transferred in the merger for these replacement awards, which represents the fair value of the vested portion the replacement awards. The unvested portion of these replacement awards, which is associated with the future services that will be rendered in the post-combination period, is comprised of 3,168,000 shares underlying stock options with aan acquisition date fair value of $5,343,000, and ~~approximately~~ 188,000 shares of restricted stock awards with aan acquisition date fair value of $4,794,000.

The ~~Company's stock price on the conversion date was $29.52.

The ~~average~~model uses various assumptions including a risk-free interest rate, an expected term, stock price volatility and a dividend yield. The table below summarizes the range and the weighted averages of the fair value assumptions used in the ~~Black-Scholes model on~~valuation as of March 8, ~~2021 were a risk-free interest rate of 0.6%, an expected term of 3.7 years and an expected stock price volatility of 55.1%.~~2021.

Dividend yield	—	—

~~Compensation expense will be recognized over the remaining vesting terms of each award ranging between 1 to 3 years.~~ During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company recognized ~~$406,000 in~~ compensation expense of $1,525,000 and $3,503,000, respectively, related to these awards, net of estimated forfeitures. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, unamortized compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock awards was ~~$5,122,000~~$2,857,000 and ~~$4,608,000,~~$2,831,000, respectively, ~~each of~~ which will be recognized over a weighted average vesting period of ~~1.9 years.~~1.3 years and 1.4 years, respectively.

During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, ~~and 2020,~~ the Company granted ~~987,000~~40,000 shares underlying restricted stock units ~~including inducement awards of 774,000, and 268,000 shares underlying restricted stock units, respectively,~~ at a weighted average grant-date fair value of ~~$29.61 and $19.67~~$29.67 per ~~share, respectively.~~share. There were no restricted stock units granted for the three months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 1,149,000 shares underlying restricted stock units, including 612,000 shares in connection with the merger with Topgolf, at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $29.62. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company granted 406,000 shares underlying restricted stock units at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $17.82 per share.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company had ~~$46,360,000~~$29,298,000 of total unamortized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~2.4~~2.1 years.

Performance Based Awards

~~Performance~~The Company grants performance based ~~awards are stock-based~~ awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the Company's performance against specified metrics, including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, ~~and stock compensation,~~ earnings per share, adjusted pre-tax income and total shareholder return.

Note 16. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Certain of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring and ~~nonrecurring~~non-recurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability (the exit price) in the principal and most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified using the following three-tier hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3: Fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate hedge agreements (see Note 17) that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the above pricing levels at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

(1)The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts ~~are~~is based on observable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Observable inputs include broker quotes, daily market foreign currency rates and forward pricing curves. Remeasurement gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until recognized in earnings during the period that the hedged transactions take place (see Note 17).

(2)The fair value of interest rate hedge contracts ~~are~~is based on observable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Observable inputs include daily market foreign currency rates and interest rate curves. Remeasurement gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until recognized in earnings as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate debt. Remeasurement gains and losses on foreign currency forward contracts that are not-designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other income ~~(expense)~~ (see Note 17).

(1)In January 2019, the Company entered into a Term Loan Facility. The fair value of this debt is based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets combined with quantitative pricing models, and is therefore categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7 for further information.

(2)In August 2020, the Company entered into the ~~2020~~ Japan Term Loan Facility. The fair value is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company used discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk, and the contractual terms of the debt to derive the fair value. See Note 7 for further information.

(3)In May 2020, the Company issued $258,750,000 of 2.75% Convertible Notes due in 2026. The fair value of this debt is based on quoted prices in secondary markets combined with quantitative pricing models, and is therefore categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For further discussion, see Note 7.

(4)The carrying value of the amounts outstanding under the Company's ABL Facility approximates the fair value due to the short-term nature of these obligations. The fair value of this debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy based on the observable market borrowing rates. See Note 7 for information on the Company's credit facilities, including certain risks and uncertainties related thereto.

(5)The Company entered into equipment notes in 2017, 2019 and 2020 that are secured by certain equipment at the Company's golf ball manufacturing facility. The fair value of this debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(8)The fair value of the Topgolf Term Loan is based on quoted market rate from the lender. See Note 7 for further information.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a ~~nonrecurring~~non-recurring basis at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. These assets include long-lived assets, goodwill, non-amortizing intangible assets and investments that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company considered the macroeconomic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its

potential impact to sales and operating income for the remainder of fiscal 2020, and determined that there were indicators of impairment and proceeded with a quantitative assessment of goodwill for all reporting units. As a result of the second quarter assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of one of its reporting units was less than its carrying value, and therefore recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $148,375,000 in the second quarter of 2020. In addition, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $25,894,000 on one of its trade names (see Note 9). There were 0no impairment losses recorded during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2021 or March 31, 2020.~~September 30, 2021.

Note 17. Derivatives and Hedging

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions of its international subsidiaries as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates relating to its long-term debt. The Company uses designated cash flow hedges and non-designated hedges in the form of foreign currency forward contracts as part of its strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and to mitigate the impact of foreign currency translation on transactions that are denominated primarily in Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Euros, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars and Korean Won. The Company also uses cross-currency debt swap contracts and interest rate hedge contracts to mitigate the impact of variable rates on its long-term debt as well as changes in foreign currencies.

The Company accounts for its foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency debt swap contracts and interest rate hedge contracts in accordance with ASC Topic 815. ASC Topic 815 requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, the measurement of those instruments at fair value and the recognition of changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as a designated cash flow hedge that offsets certain exposures. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order for derivative financial instruments to be classified and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of qualifying cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and released into earnings as a component of cost of products or net revenue, other income ~~(expense)~~ and interest expense during the period in

which the hedged transaction takes place. Remeasurement gains or losses of derivatives that are not elected for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in earnings immediately as a component of other ~~income (expense).~~income.

Foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency debt swap contracts and interest rate hedge contracts are used only to meet the Company’s objectives of minimizing variability in the Company’s operating results arising from foreign exchange rate movements and changes in interest rates. The Company does not enter into foreign currency forward contracts, cross-currency debt swap contracts and interest rate hedge contracts for speculative purposes. The Company utilizes counterparties for its derivative instruments that it believes are credit-worthy at the time the transactions are entered into and the Company closely monitors the credit ratings of these counterparties.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments as well as the location of the asset and/or liability on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

The Company's derivative instruments are subject to a master netting agreement with each respective counterparty bank and are therefore net settled at their maturity date. Although the Company has the legal right of offset under the master netting agreements, the Company has elected not to present these contracts on a net settlement amount basis, and therefore present these contracts on a gross basis on the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts to help mitigate the Company's foreign currency exposure on intercompany sales of inventory to its foreign subsidiaries. These contracts generally mature within 12 months to 15 months from their inception. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional amounts of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedge instruments were approximately ~~$53,386,000,~~$14,632,000 and $756,000, respectively.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net gain of ~~$2,191,000~~$2,196,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency forward contracts. Of this amount, net ~~losses~~gains of ~~$270,000~~$645,000 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and net gains of $567,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, were removed from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in cost of products for the underlying ~~intercompany~~ sales that were recognized, and net gains of ~~$22,000~~

$17,000 and $61,000 for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, respectively, related to the amortization of forward points were removed from accumulated other comprehensive loss ~~related to the amortization~~and recognized in cost of ~~forward points.~~products. There were 0no ineffective hedge gains or losses recognized during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. Based on the current valuation, the Company expects to reclassify net gains of ~~$2,170,000~~$1,299,000 from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net earnings during the next 12 months.

The Company recognized a net ~~loss~~gains of ~~$1,000~~$486,000 and $894,000 in cost of products in the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2020.~~September 30, 2020, respectively.

~~Cross-Currency Debt Swap and~~ Interest Rate Hedge Contract and Cross-Currency Debt Swap

In order to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates associated with the Company's variable-rate Term Loan Facility and EUR denominated intercompany loan, the Company used a cross-currency debt swap and interest rate hedge, both designated as cash flow hedges (see Note 7) by converting a portion of the USD denominated Term Loan Facility, which has a higher variable interest rate, to a EUR denominated synthetic note at a lower fixed rate. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company unwound the ~~cross currency~~cross-currency swap, and as of June 30, 2020 the Company determined that the forecasted transaction in connection with the underlying EUR denominated intercompany loan was no longer probable of occurring. As such, the Company discontinued the hedge and released net gains of $11,046,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income to other income (expense), net during the second quarter of 2020. The Company maintained the interest rate hedge related to the USD denominated Term Loan Facility in order to continue mitigating the risk of changes in interest rates. Over the life of the facility, the Company will receive variable interest payments from the counterparty lenders in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments, without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The notional amount outstanding under the interest rate hedge contract was ~~$195,849,000~~$194,847,000 and $196,350,000 as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a net ~~gains~~loss of ~~$2,690,000~~$146,000 and a net gain of $2,082,000, respectively, related to the remeasurement of the interest rate hedge contract in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Of these amounts, net losses of ~~$1,185,000~~$1,217,000 and $3,608,000 were relieved from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in interest expense during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~September 30, 2021, respectively. Based on the current valuation, the Company expects to reclassify a net loss of ~~$4,747,000~~$4,752,000 related to the interest rate hedge contract from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings during the next 12 months. The Company recognized net losses of ~~$434,000~~$1,198,000 and $2,644,000 in interest expense during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31, 2020.~~September 30, 2020, respectively.

In connection with the cross-currency swap contract, during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a remeasurement net gain of $15,081,000 in accumulated other comprehensive loss. There were 0no remeasurement gains or losses recorded during the three months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~September 30, 2020. During the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020, net gains of ~~$7,048,000~~$0 and $18,510,000 were relieved from accumulated other comprehensive ~~loss.~~loss, respectively. The recognition of these net gains into earnings is summarized as follows:

There were no net gains related to the discontinuation of the cross-currency swap contract in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020.

•Net gains of $5,735,000 related to foreign currency were recognized in other income in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were 0no net foreign currency gains or losses recognized in the three months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~September 30, 2020.

•Net gains of ~~$1,313,000~~$0 and $1,730,000 were recognized in interest expense during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020, respectively. There were 0no net gains or losses recognized in interest income during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments to mitigate certain balance sheet exposures (payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies), as well as gains and losses resulting from the translation of the operating results of the Company’s international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. These contracts generally mature within 12 months from their inception. At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts used to mitigate the exposures discussed above were approximately ~~$248,253,000~~$116,252,000 and $81,627,000, respectively. The Company estimates the fair values of foreign currency forward contracts based on pricing models using current market rates, and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated

condensed statements of operations. The foreign currency contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 16).

The following table summarizes the location of net gains and losses in the consolidated condensed statements of operations that were recognized during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in addition to the derivative contract type (in thousands):

Note 19. Segment Information

On March 8, 2021, the Company completed its merger with Topgolf. Topgolf is primarily a services-based business that provides hospitality offerings and golf entertainment experiences, which is uniquely different compared to the Company's Golf Equipment and Apparel, Gear and Other businesses, which produce, distribute and sell goods through various sales channels. Accordingly, based on the Company's re-assessment of its operating segments, the Company added a third operating segment for its Topgolf business. Therefore, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company had 3 reportable operating segments: Topgolf, Golf Equipment and Apparel, Gear and ~~Other~~Other.

The Topgolf operating segment is primarily comprised of service revenues and ~~Topgolf.~~expenses for its Company-operated Topgolf venues equipped with technology-enabled hitting bays, multiple bars, dining areas and event spaces, as well as Toptracer ball-flight tracking technology used by independent driving ranges and broadcast television, and the Company's WGT digital golf game.

The Golf Equipment operating segment is comprised of product revenues and expenses that encompass golf club and golf ball products, including Callaway Golf-branded woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, Odyssey putters, including Toulon Design putters by Odyssey, packaged sets, Callaway Golf and Strata branded golf balls and sales of pre-owned golf clubs.

The Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment is comprised of product revenues and expenses for the Jack Wolfskin outdoor apparel, gear and accessories business, the TravisMathew golf and lifestyle apparel and accessories business, the Callaway soft goods business and the OGIO business, which consists of golf apparel and accessories (including golf bags and gloves), storage gear for sport and personal use. This segment also includes royalties from licensing of the Company’s trademarks and service marks for various soft goods products.

The Topgolf operating segment is primarily comprised of service revenues and expenses for its Company-operated Topgolf venues equipped with technology-enabled hitting bays, multiple bars, dining areas and event spaces, as well as Toptracer ball-flight tracking technology used by independent driving ranges and broadcast television, and the Company's WGT digital golf game.

There ~~are~~were no significant intersegment transactions during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 or 2020.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report. See also “Important Notice to Investors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of this report.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the financial results contained in this report, which have been prepared and presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company has also included supplemental information concerning the Company’s financial results on a non-GAAP basis. This non-GAAP information includes certain of the Company’s financial results on a constant currency basis. This constant currency information estimates what the Company’s financial results would have been without changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This information is calculated by taking the current period local currency results and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable prior period. In addition, this non-GAAP information includes certain of the Company's financial results without certain non-cash charges recognized in the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, including a gain to step-up the Company's former investment in Topgolf to its fair value, amortization expense of intangible assets associated with the Jack Wolfskin, OGIO, TravisMathew acquisitions and more recently the merger with Topgolf, the discount amortization of the Convertible Notes issued in May 2020, a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets, in addition to other non-recurring expenses. For the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020, non-GAAP financial results exclude certain non-cash charges, including an impairment charge to write-down the goodwill and trade name of Jack Wolfskin, as well as amortization expense of intangible assets associated with the Jack Wolfskin, OGIO and TravisMathew acquisitions, in addition to non-recurring costs associated with the Company's transition to the new North America Distribution Center ~~in addition to~~and other integration costs associated with Jack Wolfskin.

The Company has included in this report information to reconcile this non-GAAP information to the most directly comparable GAAP information. The non-GAAP information presented in this report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. Management uses such non-GAAP information for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period over period comparisons of the underlying performance of its business and in forecasting the Company’s business going forward. Management believes that the presentation of such non-GAAP information, when considered in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP information, provides additional useful comparative information for investors in their assessment of the underlying performance of the Company’s business.

For further information about the Company's segments, see Note 19 “Segment Information” toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Cost of Products and Services

The Company’s cost of products is comprised primarily of material and component costs, distribution and warehousing costs, and overhead. In addition, cost of products includes retail merchandise costs for products sold in retail shops within Topgolf venue facilities. Historically, over 85% of the Company's manufacturing costs, primarily material and component costs, are variable in nature and fluctuate with sales volumes. With respect to the Company's Golf Equipment operating segment, variable costs ~~as a percentage of cost of sales~~ range between 85% to 95% for golf club products and 70% to 80% for golf ball products. Variable costs for soft goods in the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment are generally greater than 85% as fewer fixed costs are used in the manufacturing of soft goods products. Generally, the relative significance of the components of cost of ~~sales does~~products do not vary materially from these percentages from period to

period. In addition, cost of products include hardware costs with respect to Topgolf's Toptracer license agreements classified as sales-type leases, and retail merchandise costs for products sold in retail shops within Topgolf venue facilities.

respect to Topgolf's Toptracer license agreements classified as sales-type leases. Food and beverage costs are variable by nature, change with sales volume, and are impacted by product mix and commodity pricing.

Other Venue Expenses

Other venue expenses consist of salaries and wages, bonuses, commissions, payroll taxes, and other employee costs that directly support venue operations, rent and occupancy costs, property taxes, depreciation associated with venues, supplies, credit card fees and marketing expenses. The Company anticipates that expenses associated with labor and benefits will increase in the foreseeable future as the Topgolf business continues to expand its operations. Other venue expenses include both fixed and variable components and are therefore not directly correlated with revenue.

Venue Pre-Opening Costs

Venue pre-opening costs primarily include costs associated with activities prior to the opening of a new ~~company-operated~~Company-operated venue, as well as other costs that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing performance. The Company expects to continue incurring pre-opening costs as it executes its growth trajectory of adding new ~~company-operated~~Company-operated venues. Pre-opening costs are expected to fluctuate based on the timing, size and location of new ~~company-operated~~Company-operated venues.

For a further discussion of revenue and costs on the Company's segments, see "Operating Segment Results for the Three ~~Months Ended March 31,~~and Nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020—Segment Profitability."

Seasonality

Golf Equipment

In most of the regions where the Company conducts business, the game of golf is played primarily on a seasonal basis. Weather conditions generally restrict golf from being played year-round, except in a few markets, with many of the Company’s on-course customers closing for the cold weather months. The Company’s golf equipment business is therefore subject to seasonal fluctuations. In general, during the first quarter, the Company begins selling its golf club and golf ball products into the golf retail channel for the new golf season. This initial sell-in generally continues into the second quarter. Second-quarter sales are significantly affected by the amount of reorder business of the products sold during the first quarter. Third-quarter sales are generally dependent on reorder business but can also include smaller new product launches, typically resulting in lower sales than the second quarter as many retailers begin decreasing their inventory levels in anticipation of the end of the golf season. Fourth-quarter sales are generally less than the other quarters due to the end of the golf season in many of the Company’s key regions. However, third-quarter sales can be affected by a mid-year product launch, and fourth-quarter sales can be affected from time to time by the early launch of product introductions related to the new golf season of the subsequent year. This seasonality, and therefore quarter-to-quarter fluctuations, can be affected by many factors, including the timing of new product introductions as well as weather conditions. In general, because of this seasonality, a majority of the Company’s sales from its Golf Equipment operating segment and most, if not all, of its profitability from this segment generally occurs during the first half of the year.

Apparel, Gear and Other

Sales of the Company's golf and lifestyle apparel, gear and accessories generally follow the same seasonality as golf equipment, and are therefore generally higher during the first half of the ~~year when the game of golf is mostly played.~~year. Sales of outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment related to the Jack Wolfskin business focuses primarily on outerwear and consequently experiences stronger sales for such products during the cold-weather months and the corresponding prior sell-in periods. Therefore, sales of Jack Wolfskin products are generally greater during the second half of the year.

Topgolf

Operating results fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to seasonal factors. Historically, venues experience nominally higher second and third quarter revenues associated with the spring and summer. Topgolf’s first and fourth quarters have historically had lower revenues at its venues as compared to the other quarters due to cooler temperatures. Seasonality is expected to be a factor in Topgolf's results of operations. As a result, factors affecting peak seasons at venues, such as adverse weather, could have a disproportionate effect on its operating results.

4247

Foreign Currency

A significant portion of the Company’s business is conducted outside of the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in foreign currency rates can have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the effects of changes in foreign currency rates. While these foreign currency forward contracts can mitigate the effects of changes in foreign currency rates, they do not eliminate those effects, which can be significant. 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 the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts. In general, the Company’s 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 the Company conducts its business.

Executive Summary

~~Management is pleased with~~The third quarter of 2021 represented another period of record results for the ~~overall state~~Company from both a revenue and ~~trends of~~operating income perspective, as Topgolf experienced strong walk-in traffic and social events bookings, and strong demand for the Company’s ~~business~~golf equipment and ~~performance for~~apparel products continued. The strong quarterly results built upon the momentum from earlier in 2021, resulted in net revenue of $856.5 million and $2,421.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, respectively, which increased $380.9 million (80.1%) and $1,206.9 million (99.3%) compared to the respective comparative periods in 2020.

As a result, ~~the Company’s~~ net revenues for Golf Equipment increased $22.3 million (8.3%) to $289.6 million and $299.0 million (38.9%) to $1,067.5 million for the ~~first~~three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and net revenues for Apparel, Gear and Other increased $24.8 million (11.9%) to $233.1 million and $156.0 million (35.0%) to $602.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Total operating income increased $12.5 million (19.7%) in the third quarter of 2021 ~~increased 47.3%~~ to ~~$651.6~~$76.0 million, compared to ~~the first quarter of 2020, a new first quarter record for the Company.~~

~~Operating income increased 87.1% to $76.1~~$63.5 million in the ~~first~~third quarter of the prior year period, primarily due to incremental operating income of $23.9 million resulting from the addition of the Topgolf business for the full third quarter, combined with an $8.7 million (33.6%) increase in Apparel, Gear and Other. This increase was partially offset by a decline of $11.0 million (19.4%) in Golf Equipment, which was impacted by higher freight costs due to the ongoing shipping container shortages and port delays in the U.S., combined with an overall increase in operating expenditures in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the ~~first quarter~~same period in 2020, as the Company gradually returns to more normal levels of ~~2020. This improvement was driven by~~spending in order to support a larger overall business.

Looking ahead, the ~~increase in net revenues across all~~Company believes the business ~~segments combined with operating expense leverage~~is well-positioned for both near-term and ~~favorable foreign currency exchange rates. This improvement was partially offset by an increase in~~long-term growth as the Topgolf business continues to expand, Golf Equipment maintains its leadership position within the golf industry and the Apparel brands continue to gain increased exposure. The Company believes that its unique diversified business portfolio will continue to deliver strong results despite increased freight costs, ~~lower in-store retail revenue primarily in the soft goods segment driven by further government mandated shutdowns in central Europe,~~staffing challenges and ~~an increase in non-recurring charges, primarily due to acquisition costs in connection with the merger with Topgolf.~~

Interest expense increased $8.3 million to $17.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 compared to $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2020, which was largely the result of interest on the Company’s convertible note offering completed in May 2020 as well as incremental Topgolf interest related to the debt and deemed landlord financed lease obligations assumed in the merger with Topgolf.

~~In connection with the merger with Topgolf, the Company wrote up its pre-merger investment in Topgolf to its fair value, and recognized a gain of $252.5 million in the first quarter of 2021.~~

In connection with the merger with Topgolf, the Company acquired cash of $171.3 million and assumed long-term debt of $535.1 million. Due to the Topgolf cash, the convertible note offering, the Company’s efforts to maximize cash and liquidity following the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the current state of its business, the Company’s liquidity significantly improvedinflationary pressures, and is ~~at an all-time high. At March 31, 2021,~~optimistic about the ~~Company’s cash and available liquidity under its credit facilities increased to $713.1 million compared to $263.4 million at March 31, 2020.~~

~~Looking forward, although~~long-term growth prospects for the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have some negative impact on the Company’s business, especially in the international markets, the Company is pleased that all of its business segments, including Topgolf, support an active outdoor lifestyle that is compatible with a world of social distancing, and it anticipates that its continued brand momentum, increased demand for golf equipment and better than anticipated recovery in its soft goods business and Topgolf business will continue in 2021.business.

Net revenues in the third quarter of 2020, primarily with respect to soft goods, were negatively impacted by a decline in retail traffic due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Foreign currency fluctuations had a favorable impact of $4.0 million on ~~international~~ net revenues ~~of $16.6 million in~~during the ~~first three months~~third quarter of 2021 relative to the same period in the prior year. The increase in domestic revenue was primarily due to the Company's recent merger with Topgolf as well as the continued strong brand momentum of the Callaway and TravisMathew brands. The increase in sales in Rest of World was primarily driven by the success of the Jack Wolfskin outdoor apparel line in China, combined with the negative impact of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2020 due to the temporary closure of the Company's retail locations and facilities. The increase in sales in Europe was primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates combined with incremental revenues from the Company's merger with Topgolf. This was partially offset by the government-enforced retail shutdown related to COVID-19, which had a greater impact on the Company's results in Europe during the first quarter of 2021 than the first quarter of 2020. The decline in Japan was primarily caused by a fourth wave of COVID-19 in the first quarter of 2021, which resulted in the temporary closure of retail stores.

The Company’s cost of products ~~was 55.5% compared~~are highly variable in nature and this increase is due to ~~55.8%~~the significant increase in sales volumes in the ~~prior year. This slight improvement was due to an increase in direct to consumer sales primarily in the Company’s Apparel, Gear and Other segment as well as a favorable shift in foreign~~

~~currency rates. This was partially offset by~~third quarter of 2021, combined with an increase in freight and overall commodity costs ~~as well as higher cost~~due to the supply chain challenges experienced during the third quarter of ~~improved technology built into~~2021. In the ~~Company’s current year golf club products.~~third quarter of 2020, sales volumes were significantly lower due to the business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This increase reflects incremental expenses of $47.0 million related to the merger with Topgolf completed in March 2021. The remaining $43.6 million was primarily due to a gradual increase in spending levels back toward normal pre-pandemic levels in 2021, costs associated with the start up of the Company's new Korea apparel business and expansion of the TravisMathew business as well as increased corporate costs to support a larger organization. In the third quarter of 2020, general expenditures were lower due to certain cost savings initiatives that the Company implemented in response to the various restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Research and development expenses increased $5.7 million to $15.8 million (1.8% of net revenues) in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $10.1 million (2.1% of net revenues) in the third quarter of 2020.

~~Pre-opening costs~~ primarily include costs associated with activities prior to the opening of a new Company-operated venue, as well as other costs that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing venue performance. The Company expects to continue to incur pre-opening costs as it executes its growth trajectory of adding new Company-operated venues. Pre-opening costs are expected to fluctuate based on the timing, size and location of new Company-operated venues. ~~Pre-opening costs were $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to zero in the same period in 2020 due to the Company’s recent merger with Topgolf.~~

~~Other income increased to $9.0 million during the three months ended March 31,~~ 2021 compared to ~~$6.5~~$7.0 million in the ~~comparable period~~third quarter of 2020 primarily due to an $11.3 million decrease in foreign currency transaction gains, partially offset by a $7.4 million increase in hedging contract gains.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased $60.8 million to $66.2 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $5.4 million in the third quarter of 2020. As a percentage of pre-tax income, the Company’s effective tax rate was 131.8% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 9.3% in the third quarter of 2020.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the items described in the table ~~following this paragraph,~~below, the Company's net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 would have been ~~$76.6~~$26.3 million and ~~$0.62~~$0.14 per share, respectively, compared to ~~$31.0~~$59.2 million and ~~$0.32~~$0.61 per share, respectively, for the comparative period in 2020.

The ~~increase~~increased share count is primarily related to the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Topgolf merger. The decrease in non-GAAP earnings in 2021 ~~was~~resulted primarily from an $11.0 million decline in Golf Equipment operating income driven by ~~continued strong demand for the Company's products resulting from the overall~~higher freight costs and operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in ~~popularity of the game of golf.

Operating Segment Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

As a result of the Topgolf merger, the Company now has three operating segments, namely Topgolf, Golf Equipment; and Apparel, Gear and Other.

Topgolf

Topgolf added an incremental $333.8 million to the Company's consolidated net revenues for the third quarter of 2021, primarily comprised of $313.6 million from the domestic venue business, due to strong domestic venue walk-in traffic and better-than-expected event bookings. This also reflects two new incremental venue openings during the third quarter of 2021, Net revenues from other Topgolf business lines of $20.2 million were driven by Toptracer bay licensing

revenue during the third quarter of 2021. Revenues from Topgolf's other business lines also include digital content creation and sponsorship operations, and the WGT digital golf game.

Net revenues for the Topgolf operating segment is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):


	Three months ended September 30, 2021
Net revenues:
Venues	$	313.6
Other business lines	20.2
	$	333.8

Golf Equipment

Golf Equipment net revenues increased $22.3 million (8.3%) to $289.6 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $267.3 million in the third quarter of 2020 due to a $19.9 million (9.5%) increase in golf club sales and a $2.4 million (4.1%) increase in golf ball sales. These increases were driven by growth in sales volume across all product categories resulting from the continued popularity for the game of golf and high demand for golf products, which outweighed the global supply chain disruptions during the third quarter in 2021. Net revenues of golf equipment in the third quarter of 2020 were negatively impacted by the decline in retail traffic due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Net revenues for the Golf Equipment operating segment by product category is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Growth
	2021		2020		Dollars		Percent
Net revenues:
Golf clubs	$	229.3	$	209.4	$	19.9	9.5	%
Golf balls	60.3		57.9		2.4		4.1	%
	$	289.6	$	267.3	$	22.3	8.3	%

Apparel, Gear and Other

Net revenues of Apparel, Gear and Other increased $24.8 million (11.9%) to $233.1 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $208.3 million in the third quarter of 2020. Apparel sales increased $24.6 million (19.6%) and sales of gear, accessories and other increased $0.2 million (0.2%) in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase in Apparel, Gear & Other was due to sales growth across all brands compared to the third quarter of 2020 led by the TravisMathew brand, despite global supply chain challenges during the third quarter of 2021. The increase in Gear, Accessories and Other was driven by increases across all golf accessory categories for the Callaway brand, headwear and footwear for TravisMathew, and footwear for Jack Wolfskin. Net revenues in the third quarter of 2020 were negatively impacted by the decline in retail traffic due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The increase in TravisMathew sales was driven by strong brand momentum across all sales channels. The Callaway brand increased due to a significant increase in demand for golf accessories driven by the heightened popularity of the game of golf combined with the success of the Callaway branded product in the Asian markets. The increase in Jack Wolfskin sales was driven by an increase in retail sales combined with the wholesale business in Europe.

(2)Amounts for the third quarter of 2021 and 2020 include corporate general and administrative expenses not utilized by management in determining segment profitability, as well as non-cash amortization expense of intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of OGIO, TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin. In addition, the amount for 2021 includes (i) $0.6 million of transition and other non-recurring costs associated with the merger with Topgolf completed on March 8, 2021, (ii) $6.7 million of non-cash amortization expense for intangible assets acquired in connection with the merger with Topgolf, combined with depreciation expense from the fair value step-up of Topgolf property, plant and equipment and amortization expense of the market valuation adjustment on operating leases assumed in connection with the merger with Topgolf, and (iii) $0.5 million of costs related to the implementation of new IT systems for Jack Wolfskin and Topgolf. The amount for the third quarter of 2020 includes (i) $1.2 million of amortization expense on intangible assets from the acquisitions of OGIO,TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin; (ii) non-recurring costs of $5.1 million, including costs associated with the Company's transition to its new North America Distribution Center and the implementation of new IT systems for Jack Wolfskin, and severance related to the Company's cost reduction initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating income for the golf equipment operating segment decreased $11.0 million (-19.4%) to $45.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $56.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. This decrease was driven by higher freight costs related to the ongoing shipping container shortages and port delays in the U.S., in addition to higher manufacturing costs associated with golf balls and a gradual increase in operating expenses towards normal pre-pandemic levels compared to the third quarter of 2020, where the Company had significantly reduced its spending in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These declines were partially offset by the positive impact of leveraging fixed overhead costs on golf clubs due to higher sales volumes period over period, combined with price increases on certain golf club products.

Operating income for the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment increased $8.7 million (33.6%) to $34.6 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $25.9 million in the third quarter of 2020. This increase was driven by sales growth across all brands, as discussed above, combined with less promotional activity. These increases were partially offset by a gradual increase in operating expenses toward normal pre-pandemic levels compared to the third quarter of 2020, where the Company had significantly reduced its spending in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Topgolf contributed an incremental $23.9 million of operating income to the Company in the third quarter of 2021, which includes the opening of two new domestic locations combined with incremental Toptracer bay installations during the third quarter of 2021.

Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

Net Revenues

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $1,206.9 million (99.3%) to $2,421.7 million compared to $1,214.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This increase was driven by $751.9 million of incremental Topgolf net revenues, which has been included in the Company's consolidated reported net revenues since the completion of the merger on March 8, 2021. In addition, the increase in net revenues reflects the strength of the Company's legacy Golf Equipment and Apparel, Gear and Other businesses, which increased $455.0 million (37.5%) compared to the first nine months of 2020. Net revenues from the Company's Golf Equipment and Apparel, Gear and Other businesses generated significant increases across all product categories and in all major geographic regions, despite global supply chain challenges experienced during the third quarter of 2021. This increase reflects the success of the Company's current year product lines and overall brand momentum, and the continued popularity of the game of golf and other outdoor activities. Net revenues in the first nine months of 2020 were negatively impacted by temporary closure of the Company's retail locations, manufacturing facilities and distributions centers, as well as its customers' retail locations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company’s net revenues by operating segment are presented below (dollars in millions):

	$	2,421.7	$	1,214.8	$	1,206.9	99.3	%	96.1%

Net revenues in the United States increased $980.1 million (162.3%) to $1,583.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior year. Net revenues in regions outside of the United States increased $226.8 million(37.1%) to $837.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $611.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in both domestic and international net revenue

in the first nine months of 2021 reflects the addition of the Topgolf business, as well as the continued strength and brand momentum of the Company's Golf Equipment business, combined with the strong rebound of the TravisMathew business in the United States and Jack Wolfskin business in Europe and China. Net revenues across all brands in the nine months of 2020 were severely impacted by the temporary shutdown of many of the Company's and its customer's retail locations and facilities in all major regions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fluctuations in foreign currencies had a favorable impact on international net revenues of $39.0 million in the first nine months of 2021 relative to the same period in the prior year.

Costs and Expenses

Costs of products increased $217.6 million to $914.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $696.4 million for the same period in 2020. The Company’s cost of products are highly variable in nature and this increase is due to the significant increase in sales volumes in the first nine months of 2021, combined with an increase in freight and overall commodity costs. In the first nine months of 2020, sales volumes were significantly lower due to the business disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Costs of services of $93.8 million consist primarily of the cost of food and beverage sold in the Company’s Topgolf venues as well as certain costs associated with licensing the Company’s Toptracer ball-flight tracking technology.

Other venue expenses of $483.6 million consist primarily of Topgolf venue related employee costs, rent, depreciation and amortization, utilities, and other costs associated with Topgolf venues.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $228.6 million to $612.7 million (25.3% of net revenues) during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $384.1 million (31.6% of net revenues) in the comparable period of 2020. This increase reflects incremental expenses of $99.1 million related to the merger with Topgolf completed in March 2021, and a $32.7 million increase in non-recurring expenses, which include transaction and transition expenses incurred in connection with the merger with Topgolf, expenses related to the implementation of new IT systems for Jack Wolfskin, and non-cash amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets. This was partially offset by severance expense incurred in the third quarter of 2020 related to the cost reduction initiatives in response to COVID-19. Excluding these incremental expenses and non-recurring charges, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $96.8 million (25.2%) due to a gradual increase in spending levels back toward normal pre-pandemic levels in the first nine months of 2021, costs associated with the start up of the Company's new Korea apparel business and expansion of the TravisMathew business as well as increased corporate costs to support a larger organization. These investments resulted in increases in employee costs, including an overall increase in salaries and wages and employee incentive compensation, due to an increase in headcount, in addition to advertising and promotional expenses, tour, professional fees primarily related to IT projects and infrastructure improvements, building and furniture expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense. In the first nine months of 2020, general expenditures were lower due to certain restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic combined with the cost savings initiatives carried out by the Company.

Research and development expenses increased $15.4 million to $48.8 million (2.0% of net revenues) in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $33.4 million (2.7% of net revenues) during the same period in 2020, primarily due to incremental expenses of $9.4 million related to the merger with Topgolf completed in March 2021, and an increase in employee costs.

Venue pre-opening costs of $9.4 million include costs associated with activities prior to the opening of a new Company-operated venue, as well as other costs that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing venue performance. The Company expects to continue to incur pre-opening costs of adding new Company-operated venues. These costs are expected to fluctuate based on the timing, size and location of new Company-operated venues.

Due to the significant business disruption and macro-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's financial results, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of its goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets during the second quarter of 2020 resulting in an impairment charge of $174.3 million. There were no impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. (see Note 9, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q).

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense increased $41.0 million to $75.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $34.4 million in the comparable period of 2020, primarily due to the interest expense related to the debt and

DLF obligations acquired as part of the Topgolf merger. See Note 7 “Financing Arrangements” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q.

As a result of the merger with Topgolf, the Company wrote up the value of its pre-merger shares of Topgolf to their fair value and recorded a gain of $252.5 million during the nine months of 2021.

Other income decreased to $9.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $27.5 million in the comparable period of 2020. This decline was primarily due to the $11.0 million gain recognized in 2020 in connection with the settlement of a cross-currency swap, in addition to a decrease in net foreign currency gains.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes increased $91.5 million to $98.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $6.6 million in the comparable period of 2020. As a percentage of pre-tax income, the Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2021 increased to 22.0% compared to (8.2)% in the comparable period of 2020. The Company's effective tax rate in 2021 was impacted by the $252.5 million nontaxable gain recognized on the Company's pre-merger investment in Topgolf shares as well as the recognition of a valuation allowance on certain net operating losses and tax credits. The Company's effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2020 was impacted by the recognition of a $174.3 million non-deductible impairment charge to write-down certain goodwill and intangible assets related to Jack Wolfskin. Excluding these non-recurring items from both periods, the Company's effective income tax rate would have been 30.5% for the first nine months of 2021 compared to 15.3% for the first nine months in 2020. This decline is primarily due to a shift in mix of earnings to regions with lower tax rates. For further discussion see Note 13 “Income Taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income (loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased to net income of $348.2 million compared to a net loss of $86.4 million in the comparable period of 2020. Diluted earnings (loss) per share increased $2.95 to earnings of $2.03 per share in the first nine months of 2021 compared to a loss per share of $(0.92) in the same period in 2020.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding the items described in the table below, the Company's net income and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 would have been $173.4 million and $1.01 per share, respectively, compared to $95.4 million and $0.99 per share, respectively, for the comparative period in 2020. Fully diluted shares were 171.2 million shares of common stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of 75.1 million shares compared to 96.1 million shares for the comparative period in 2020. The increased share count is primarily related to the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Topgolf merger. The increase in non-GAAP net income in 2021 was primarily driven by continued strong demand for the Company's products resulting from the overall increase in popularity of the game of golf, combined with a strong rebound in revenues of the Company's apparel and soft goods product lines, and the incremental net income attributable to Topgolf. Additionally, the Company's earnings in 2020 were negatively impacted by the business disruptions and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These increases were partially offset by an increase in operating expenditures to normal pre-pandemic levels in the first nine months of 2021.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the Company's as-reported results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 to the Company's non-GAAP results reported above for the same periods (in millions, except per share information).

Golf equipment net revenues increased $85.2 million (29.2%) to $376.9 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $291.7 million for the same period in 2020 due to a $65.1 million (25.9%) increase in golf club revenue and a $20.1 million (49.7%) increase in golf ball revenue. These increases were due to an increase in sales volume and average selling prices across all product categories due the strength of the Company's current year product lines, including the Company's new EPIC, APEX and Chrome Soft products and overall brand momentum, combined with strong performance by the Company's supply chain. In addition, net revenues in the first quarter of 2020 were negatively impacted due to the temporary closure of many of the Company's facilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Golf Equipment

Golf equipment net revenues increased $298.9 million (38.9%) to $1,067.8 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $768.9 million for the same period in 2020 due to a $249.1 million (40.4%) increase in golf club revenue and a $49.8 million (32.7%) increase in golf ball revenue.

Apparel, Gear and Other sales increased $156.1 million (35.0%) to $602.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $445.9 million for the same period in 2020, due to a $97.7 million (40.8%) increase in apparel sales and a $58.4 million (28.3%) increase in sales of gear, accessories and other. The increase in the apparel, gear and other was due to a strong rebound across all brands in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, which was severely impacted by the shutdown of distribution centers and many retail stores in all major regions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in apparel was driven by increases across each of the Company's TravisMathew, Callaway and Jack Wolfskin apparel brands, despite global supply chain challenges in 2021. The increase in gear, accessories and other was driven by strong increases across all golf accessory categories for the Callaway brand, headwear and footwear for TravisMathew, and footwear at Jack Wolfskin.

The increase for TravisMathew products was driven by strong brand momentum and increases across all sales channels. The Callaway brand increased due to a surge in demand for golf accessories driven by the heightened popularity of the game of golf. The increase in Jack Wolfskin sales was driven by significant e-commerce sales and an increase in the wholesale business in China, partially offset by lower retail revenue due to further government mandated retail shutdowns during the second quarter of 2021 in Europe.

Financial Condition

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased ~~$31.2~~$142.1 million to ~~$397.3~~$508.2 million at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 from $366.1 million at December 31, ~~2020, primarily due to proceeds of $258.8 million from Convertible Notes issued in May 2020, partially offset by a decline in net income rolling 12-month period due to~~2020. This increase reflects the ~~adverse effects~~combined cash positions of the ~~COVID-19 pandemic~~Company and Topgolf as a result of the merger completed on ~~the Company's business during 2020.~~March 8, 2021. During the first ~~three~~nine months of ~~2020,~~2021, the Company used its cash provided by operations of $246.8 million, combined with proceeds of $49.5 million from lease financing arrangements, $28.0 million from its credit and ~~cash equivalents~~long-term debt facilities, $19.5 million from the exercise of stock options and $18.6 million from the sale of investments in golf related ventures, to fund ~~its operations,~~capital expenditures of $198.9 million, repay ~~$12.1~~$160.9 million of amounts outstanding under its ~~credit and~~ long-term debt facilities ~~fund capital expenditures of $28.8 million,~~ and repurchase shares of its common stock for ~~$12.5 million.~~$12.9 million to satisfy payroll tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of employee restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards. Management expects to fund the Company’s future operations from current cash balances and cash provided by its operating activities, combined with borrowings under its current and future credit facilities as well as from other available sources of capital, as deemed necessary. See Note 7 "Financing Arrangements" toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for further information on the Company's credit facilities and the Term Loan Facility.

The Company’s accounts receivable balance fluctuates throughout the year as a result of the general seasonality of the Company’s business and is also affected by the timing of new product launches. With respect to the Company’s Golf Equipment business, the accounts receivable balance will generally be at its highest during the first and second quarters due to the seasonal peak in the golf season, and it will generally decline significantly during the third and fourth quarters as a result of an increase in cash collections and lower sales. The Company's Apparel, Gear and Other accounts receivable balances are expected to be higher during the second half of the year due to the seasonal nature of the Jack Wolfskin business, with a significant portion of its products geared toward the ~~fall/~~fall and winter ~~season.~~seasons. On March 8, 2021, the Company completed its merger with Topgolf, which primarily records revenue and collects payment at point-of-sale for most of its venue business. Therefore, Topgolf's accounts receivable balance is smaller than the Company's other business segments and primarily consists of media sponsorship ~~receivables and swing suite licensing~~ receivables. As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company’s net accounts receivable increased to ~~$328.8~~$255.2 million from $138.5 million as of December 31, 2020. This increase reflects the Company's seasonality combined with incremental accounts receivable from the merger with Topgolf. The Company’s net accounts receivable as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 increased ~~$69.3~~$15.6 million compared to ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 primarily due to an increase in net revenues of ~~$209.3~~$380.9 million in the ~~first~~third quarter of 2021 compared to the ~~first~~third quarter of 2020 ~~primarily due to~~resulting from the

continued increase in demand for golf equipment as the result of the increased popularity of golf combined with a strong rebound in sales of apparel, gear and accessories across all brands, in addition to incremental revenues from the merger with Topgolf. In addition, sales in the ~~first~~third quarter of 2020 were more negatively impacted by the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company’s inventory balance fluctuates throughout the year as a result of the general seasonality of the Company’s business and is also affected by the timing of new product launches. With respect to the Company's Golf Equipment business, the buildup of inventory levels generally begins during the fourth quarter and continues heavily into the first quarter as well as into the beginning of the second quarter in order to meet demand during the height of the golf season. Inventory levels are also impacted by the timing of new product launches as well as the success of new products. Apparel, Gear and Other inventory levels start to build in the second quarter and continues into the third and fourth quarters due to the seasonal nature of the Company's Jack Wolfskin business, as many products are geared toward the fall/winter season. On March 8, 2021, the Company completed its merger with Topgolf, which is primarily a services business with lower inventory balances than the Company's other business segments, and primarily consists of food and beverage as well as retail merchandise and Toptracer inventory. The Company’s inventory ~~decreased~~increased $32.8 million to ~~$336.3~~$385.3 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 compared to $352.5 million as of December 31, 2020. This ~~decrease~~increase in inventories was primarily ~~due~~related to the ~~seasonal~~apparel, gear, and other business in order to meet the increased demand of general seasonality, the expansion of the Company's TravisMathew business into new product categories combined with the opening of new retail locations, as well as an increase in golf equipment inventory to meet the increased demand of golf equipment ~~in the first quarter of 2021 and the continued increase in demand for golf equipment due to the increase in popularity of golf, partially offset by the~~sales, combined with incremental inventory from the merger with Topgolf. The Company’s inventory as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$76.4~~$60.4 million compared to the Company's inventory as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020 primarily due ~~an increase~~to increases in ~~demand for~~ golf equipment in order to support increased sales and ~~golf accessories as the popularity of golf increased starting in the second half~~

~~of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021~~upcoming product launches, combined with ~~the sell-through of close-out and end-of-life inventory, partially offset by the~~ incremental ~~food and beverage~~ inventory from the merger with Topgolf. This increase was partially offset by decreases in apparel, gear, and other inventory primarily due increased seasonality demand in the second half of the year, combined with supply chain constraints.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of its existing cash balances, ~~including cash from the issuance of Convertible Notes in May 2020,~~ funds expected to be generated from operations and funds from its credit facilities. Based upon the Company’s current cash balances, its estimates of funds expected to be generated from operations, ~~in 2021,~~ as well as from current and projected availability under its current or future credit facilities, the Company believes that it will be able to finance current and planned operating requirements, capital expenditures, required debt repayments and contractual obligations and commercial commitments for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of this Form 10-Q.

The Company’s ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows from operations is subject to many risks and uncertainties, including future economic trends and conditions, the future economic impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for the Company’s products, supply chain challenges, foreign currency exchange rates, and other risks and uncertainties applicable to the Company and its business (see “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020)~~2020 and in Part II, Item 1A on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021). As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the Company had ~~$713.1~~$918.0 million in cash and availability under its credit facilities, which is an increase of ~~$449.7~~$281.1 million or ~~170.7%~~44% compared to ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2020. Information about the Company's credit facilities and long-term borrowings is presented in Note 7 “Financing Arrangements” toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

On March 8, 2021, the Company completed the merger with Topgolf in an all-stock transaction (see to Note 6 "Business Combinations" toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). In connection with the merger with Topgolf, the Company acquired cash of $171.3 million and assumed $535.1 million in long-term debt. The Company believes that with its continued strong cash generation and increased liquidity, its geographic diversity and the strength of its brands, it will be able to fund Topgolf's growth while meeting its other financial obligations.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, approximately ~~28.5%~~35.3% of the Company's cash was held in regions outside of the United States. The Company continues to maintain its indefinite reinvestment assertion with respect to most jurisdictions in which it operates because of local cash requirements to operate its business. If the Company were to repatriate cash to the United States outside of settling intercompany balances, it may need to pay incremental foreign withholding taxes which, subject

to certain limitations, generate foreign tax credits for use against the Company's U.S. tax liability, if any. Additionally, the Company may need to pay certain state income taxes.

For further discussion, see Note 3 "Leases" toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

(12)Amount represents capital expenditure commitments under lease agreements for Topgolf venues under construction that have been signed as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021.

(13)During the normal course of its business, the Company enters into agreements to purchase goods and services, including purchase commitments for production materials, endorsement agreements with professional golfers and other endorsers, employment and consulting agreements, and intellectual property licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company is required to pay royalty fees. It is not possible to determine the amounts the Company will ultimately be required to pay under these agreements as they are subject to many variables including performance-based bonuses, severance arrangements, the Company’s sales levels, and reductions in payment obligations if designated minimum performance criteria are not achieved. The amounts listed approximate minimum purchase obligations, base compensation, and guaranteed minimum royalty payments the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. The actual amounts paid under some of these agreements may be higher or lower than the amounts included. In the aggregate, the actual amount paid under these obligations is likely to be higher than the amounts listed as a result of the variable nature of these obligations. In addition, the Company also enters into unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors and suppliers of goods and services in the normal course of operations

through purchase orders or other documentation or that are undocumented except for an invoice. Such unconditional purchase obligations are generally outstanding for periods less than a year and are settled by cash payments upon delivery of goods and services and are not reflected in this line item.

(14)Amount represents the current and non-current portions of uncertain income tax positions as recorded on the Company's consolidated condensed balance ~~sheet~~sheets as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. Amounts exclude uncertain income tax

positions that the Company would be able to offset against deferred taxes. For further discussion, see Note 13 “Income Taxes” toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of Company products or trademarks, (ii) indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facilities or leases, (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to the goods or services provided to the Company or based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, and (iv) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. In addition, the Company has made contractual commitments to each of its officers and certain other employees providing for severance payments upon the termination of employment. The Company has also issued guarantees in the form of a standby letter of credit primarily as security for contingent liabilities under certain workers’ compensation insurance policies.

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 the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to indemnities have not been material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company believes the likelihood is remote that payments under the commitments and guarantees described above will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. The fair value of indemnities, commitments and guarantees that the Company issued during the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition to the contractual obligations listed above, the Company’s liquidity could also be adversely affected by an unfavorable outcome with respect to claims and litigation that the Company is subject to from time to time (see Note 14 “Commitments & Contingencies” toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 and “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).

Capital Expenditures

The Company has certain capital expenditure commitments under lease agreements for Topgolf venues ~~under construction~~ that have been signed as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021. Estimated capital expenditures for the year ~~ended~~ending December 31, 2021 in connection with these leases total approximately ~~$106.0~~$152.0 million. In addition, in 2021, the Company expects to have additional capital expenditures of approximately ~~$129.0~~$73.0 million for the Callaway legacy business and Topgolf, combined. Total estimated capital expenditures are expected to be approximately ~~$235.0~~$225.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4)(ii).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Due to the recent merger with Topgolf, the Company updated its significant accounting policies. For an update to the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, see Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Transactions involving these financial instruments are with creditworthy banks, primarily banks that are party to the Company's credit facilities (see Note 7 "Financing Arrangements" toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). The use of these instruments exposes the Company to market and credit risk which may at times be concentrated with certain counterparties, although counterparty nonperformance is not anticipated.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

Information about the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is set forth in Note 17 “Derivatives and Hedging,” toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

As part of the Company’s risk management procedure, a sensitivity analysis model is used to measure the potential loss in future earnings of market-sensitive instruments resulting from one or more selected hypothetical changes in interest rates or foreign currency values. The sensitivity analysis model quantifies the estimated potential effect of unfavorable movements of 10% in foreign currencies to which the Company was exposed at ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 through its foreign currency forward contracts.

At ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, the estimated maximum loss from the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts, calculated using the sensitivity analysis model described above, was ~~$31.9~~$14.2 million. The Company believes that such a hypothetical loss from its foreign currency forward contracts would be partially offset by increases in the value of the underlying transactions being hedged.

The sensitivity analysis model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in earnings that will be incurred by the Company, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market rates. It also does not represent the maximum possible loss that may occur. Actual future gains and losses will differ from those estimated because of changes or differences in market rates and interrelationships, hedging instruments and hedge percentages, timing and other factors.

Interest Rate Fluctuations

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk from its credit facilities and long-term borrowing commitments. Outstanding borrowings under these credit facilities and long-term borrowing commitments accrue interest as described in Note 7 "Financing Arrangements" toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, and in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. The Company's long-term borrowing commitments are subject to interest rate fluctuations, which could be material to the Company's cash flows and results of operations. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company enters into interest rate hedges as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Information about the Company's interest rate hedges is provided in Note 17 "Derivatives and Hedging" toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. In order to determine the impact of unfavorable changes in interest rates on the Company's cash flows and results of operations, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis as part of its risk management procedures. The sensitivity analysis quantified that the incremental expense incurred by a 10% increase in interest rates would be ~~$0.1 million~~nominal over the 12-month period ending on ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. On March 8, 2021, the Company completed its merger with Topgolf. See Note 6 "Business Combinations" toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The Company is in the process of integrating the Topgolf business and evaluating its internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of these integration activities, certain controls will be evaluated and may be revised. ~~Except~~In addition, the Company is implementing a new version of its existing enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system on a worldwide basis, which is expected to improve the efficacy of certain financial and related transaction processes. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed the implementation of the new ERP system at its subsidiaries in Germany, China, Korea and Japan. The implementation is expected to progress in phased launches across the Company's organization over the next several years. As the phased implementation of the ERP system advances, the Company appropriately considered its controls over financial reporting within the testing for effectiveness with respect to the

implementation. The Company concluded as ~~otherwise noted,~~part of its evaluation described above, that the implementation of the ERP system has not materially affected its internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~March 31, 2021, there~~September 30, 2021. As the implementation continues, the Company's internal processes, procedures and controls will be refined as appropriate. There were no other changes in ~~the Company’s~~our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the ~~Company’s~~Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information set forth in Note 14 “Commitments & Contingencies,” toin the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Certain Factors Affecting Callaway Golf Company

The Company has included in Part I, Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company’s business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s stock. There are no material changes from the disclosure provided in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 with respect to the Risk Factors, other than ~~the addition of the Risk Factors below,~~ as ~~a result of the completion of the Topgolf merger on March 8, 2021.~~

The Company, including Topgolf, its franchisees and its licensees, may face increased labor costs or labor shortages that could slow growth and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

~~Labor is a primary component~~previously reported in the cost of operating the business of the Company, including Topgolf and its franchisees and licensees. If the Company faces labor shortages or increased labor costs because of increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover rates, the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or other 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), the Company’s operating expenses could increase and its growth could be adversely affected.

In particular, Topgolf has a substantial number of Associates 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, the Company may be required to increase not only the wage rates of minimum wage Associates 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 the Company’s margins would be negatively affected. At Topgolf, reduced margins could make it more difficult to attract new franchisees and licensees and to retain existing franchisee and licensee relationships. If the Company is able to increase prices to cover increased labor costs, the higher prices could result in lower revenues, which may also reduce margins, as well as the fees received from Topgolf’s franchisees and licensees.

~~Furthermore, the successful operation~~Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s business depends upon its 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 the Company operates, including where its Topgolf 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-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 the Company to pay higher wages, which could result in higher labor costs. In particular, Top experiences competition to attract and retain skilled game developers and content creators is intense, and failure to do so may delay the implementation of Topgolf’s business strategy and growth plans. Companies in the Company’s industry have also historically experienced relatively high turnover rates, which may also result in higher labor costs. Accordingly, if the Company is unable to recruit and retain sufficiently qualified individuals, its business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Some, but not all, of the Company’s employees are currently covered under collective bargaining agreements. In the future, additional employees, including Topgolf Associates, 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 the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, a labor dispute involving some or all employees may harm the Company’s reputation, disrupt operations and reduce revenue, and resolution of disputes may increase costs. Further, if Topgolf or its franchisees

enter into a new market with unionized construction companies, or the construction companies in Topgolf or its 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 the Company’s, including Topgolf’s and its U.S. franchisees’ and licensees’, costs in recruiting, training and retaining employees. Also, although the Company’s hiring practices comply with the requirements of federal law in reviewing employees’ citizenship or authority to work in the United States, the Company does not monitor or control the hiring practices of Topgolf’s franchisees and licensees, and increased enforcement efforts with respect to existing immigration laws by governmental authorities may disrupt a portion of the Company’s workforce or the operations at its venues, or the workforce or operations of licensees, thereby negatively impacting its business.

~~The outbreak and spread COVID-19 has had, and is expected to continue to have, a material adverse impact~~Quarterly Report on ~~Topgolf’s business, operations and financial condition for an extended period of time.~~

As a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, various domestic and international governmental bodies issued orders, mandates, decrees and directives (collectively, “COVID Orders”), including statewide executive orders in Texas and Florida, where Topgolf operates a significant portion of its venues, and other states in which Topgolf operates venues, ordering the closure of non-essential business establishments, mandating or recommending that residents “stay at home” other than in the case of limited exceptions, imposing curfews, suspending alcohol sales for certain establishments, limiting occupancy, ordering the implementation of strict social distancing measures in business establishments and mandating health screens and face coverings for employee associates (“Associates”) and customers and imposed heightened cleanliness standards, including cleaning and disinfecting golf clubs, golf balls, game screens and other frequently touched bay surfaces between each group of guests, which has had a material adverse impact on Topgolf’s business throughout 2020. Further, Topgolf enacted various measures to reduce cash expenses to weather its temporary venue closures, including (i) suspension of non-essential capital expenditures, including the suspension of construction of future venues, (ii) execution of substantial reductions in expenses, including furlough or lay-off of a significant number of Associates, (iii) temporary salary reductions for certain Associates, including executive officers, (iv) extension of payment terms with Topgolf’s vendors and (v) negotiation of rent deferrals for a portion of Topgolf’s leases. Although currently all Topgolf venues have been re-opened, there can be no assurance that additional closures or re-closures will not be mandated in the future. Even with respect to venues that may remain open, a number of its venues have reduced operating hours and foot traffic at Topgolf’s venues has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and Topgolf has reduced headcount at its offices in response to these changes. Additionally, as a result of COVID Orders, Topgolf has not been able to host large group events in certain jurisdictions, which has limited its ability to drive revenue through such events per past practice. Topgolf expects that occupancy limits imposed under COVID Orders and a shift in consumer demand away from out-of-home entertainment will result in lower guest traffic at venues and continue to negatively impact revenues, and that it will incur additional costs to ensure compliance with safety measures at venues, including mandatory measures under applicable COVID Orders as well as voluntary measures to enhance safety for guests and Associates. In addition, Topgolf may face difficulties in maintaining adequate staffing at venues due to illness, difficulty in recalling Associates that may be furloughed if venues are required to temporarily close again or a reduction in Associates willing to work in public gathering places. As a result, its business, operating results and financial condition have been, and will continue to be, materially and adversely affected. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions under COVID Orders could also delay construction of new venues, present difficulties in staffing venues and result in supply chain interruptions, including for manufactured componentsForm 10-Q for the Toptracer Range system, which may materially adversely affect Topgolf’s ability to implement growth plans. Future outbreaks of other diseases such as avian flu, sudden acute respiratory syndrome (also known as SARS), swine flu or influenza may similarly impact Topgolf.

In addition, Topgolf has been, and will continue to be, negatively impacted by COVID-19 related developments, including heightened governmental regulations and travel advisories, recommendations by the U.S. Department of State, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and similar foreign authorities, and travel bans and restrictions, each of which has significantly impacted, and is expected to continue to significantly impact, travel of customers to Topgolf’s domestic and international venues. Topgolf cannot predict how quickly customers will return to its venues, which may be affected by continued concerns over safety and/or depressed consumer sentiment due to adverse economic conditions,

including high unemployment. Demand for Topgolf’s products and services may remain weak for a significant length of time and Topgolf cannot predict if and when such demand will return to pre-outbreak demand.

~~Topgolf’s growth strategy depends in part on its and its franchisees’ ability to open new venues in existing and new markets.~~

~~A key element of Topgolf’s growth strategy is to open additional venues in locations that it believes will provide attractive unit economics and returns on investment. As of~~quarter ended March 31, 2021, Topgolf had 60 venues operating in the United States with an additional seven venues under construction, three Company-operated venues in the United Kingdom and three franchised venues (Australia, Mexico and United Arab Emirates), one Company-operated venue under construction in the United Kingdom and one franchised venue under construction in Germany. The Company plans to open additional new venues across flexible venue formats in the years to come. In addition, Topgolf has signed development agreements with five partners to open over 100 franchised venues in 14 countries across the world. In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Topgolf suspended construction on certain venues and temporarily paused negotiations on new leases and purchase agreements. Further, construction on future venues could be delayed by additional COVID Orders, reduced availability of labor and supply chain interruptions. As a result, some of the projects in Topgolf’s development pipeline may not be completed on the anticipated timeline, or at all, and new projects may not continue to enter Topgolf’s pipeline at the same rate as in the past.

~~Topgolf and its franchisees’ 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 Topgolf’s control, including Topgolf and its franchisees’ 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~~incorporated herein 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 (including delays in construction due to applicable COVID Orders);~~

•~~avoid or mitigate the impact of inclement weather, natural disasters and other calamities;~~

•~~respond to infectious diseases, health epidemics and pandemics (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic);~~

•~~timely hire, train and retain the skilled management and other Associates 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; and

•~~efficiently manage the amount of time and money used to build and open each new venue.~~

In addition, Topgolf has relied, and expects to continue to rely, primarily on the services of a single design/build contractor for the construction of venues. For venues in certain locations, Topgolf’s reliance on this contractor may result in additional costs or delay. Though Topgolf believes it would be able to find one or more replacements if it were to lose its relationship with this contractor or if its services otherwise became unavailable, there can be no guarantee that Topgolf 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 Topgolf.

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 Topgolf in order to achieve its growth plan, or that Topgolf will be successful in addressing the other risks set forth above in a manner that will allow it to open new venues in a timely and cost-effective manner or at all. If Topgolf is unable to open new venues, or if venue openings are significantly delayed or face other obstacles, Topgolf’s revenue and earnings growth could be adversely affected and its business negatively impacted. New venues,

~~once opened, may not be profitable or may close, which would adversely affect Topgolf’s business, results of operations and financial condition, and ability to execute its growth strategy.~~

Even if Topgolf and its franchisees 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 Topgolf has set. New venues may even operate at a loss or close after a short operating period, which could have a significant adverse effect on 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 increases in same venue sales in line with the rest of Topgolf’s comparable venue base, although there can be no assurance that the same venue sales of any new venues opened in the future will increase in line with the rest of Topgolf’s comparable venue base, particularly in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, or that a new venue will succeed in the long term. Topgolf and its franchisees’ ability to operate new venues profitably may be affected by a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control, including:

•~~general economic conditions, which can affect venue traffic, local labor costs 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 Associates gain experience;~~

•~~competition from other out-of-home entertainment options, including existing venues and the businesses of the Toptracer Range licensees, 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 (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) on factors impacting Topgolf’s 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 Topgolf’s longer-term growth strategy, it may open venues in geographic markets in which Topgolf has little or no operating experience. These markets 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, Topgolf’s 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 Topgolf’s ability to grow its business.

The markets in which Topgolf operates are highly competitive, and its inability to compete effectively could have a material adverse effect on Topgolf’s business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

The consumer entertainment industry is highly competitive. Consumers today have a wide variety of options when deciding how to spend their leisure time and discretionary entertainment dollars. Topgolf’s 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 Topgolf competes 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 Full Swing

licensees), arcades and entertainment centers, movie theaters, sporting events, bowling alleys, nightclubs, bars and restaurants. In many cases, these businesses, or the entities operating them, are larger 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 Topgolf’s venues. Additionally, the legalization of casino gambling in geographic areas near any current or future venue would create the possibility for additional out-of-home entertainment alternatives, which could have a material adverse effect on Topgolf’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Home-based entertainment options against which Topgolf’s 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 Topgolf’s products and services, as a result of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and related COVID Orders, which may result in greater competition from home-based entertainment options in the future. The failure of Topgolf’s venues to compete favorably against these other out-of-home and home-based entertainment options could have a material adverse effect on Topgolf’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Topgolf also faces intense competition across its other business lines. In particular, the International and Toptracer business lines compete against other companies to attract and retain qualified franchisees and licensees. WGT and the content Topgolf produces through Topgolf Studios also competes for consumer attention and leisure time against the other home-based entertainment alternatives described above, particularly content focused on sports, including golf. From a commercial perspective, Topgolf also competes 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. Topgolf’s growth strategy and prospects will be materially impaired if it is unable to compete successfully in these aspects of its business.

~~Topgolf has incurred operating losses in the past, expects to incur operating losses in the future, and may not achieve or maintain profitability.~~

Topgolf has incurred operating losses each year since its inception, including net losses of $78.5 million, $114.9 million and $346.3m in fiscal years 2018 2019 and 2020, respectively, and expects to continue to incur net losses in the future. As a result, Topgolf had a total stockholders’ deficit of $468.1 million and $928.0 million as of December 29, 2019 and January 3, 2021, respectively. Topgolf expects operating expenses to increase in the future as it continues to grow its network of venues and expand other business lines, including its international franchised venues and licensed Toptracer Range bays. Topgolf revenue growth may slow or revenue may decline for a number of other reasons, including a reduction in guest visits to and spending at Topgolf’s venues, a reduction in revenues from franchisees, licensees and commercial partners, Topgolf’s inability to attract and retain franchisees, licensees and commercial partners, increased competition, a decrease in the growth or reduction in the size of Topgolf’s markets, or if Topgolf is unable to capitalize on growth opportunities. If revenue does not grow at a greater rate than operating expenses, Topgolf will not be able to achieve and maintain profitability.

Some of Topgolf’s products and services contain open source software, which may pose particular risks to its proprietary software, technologies, products, and services in a manner that could harm its business.

Topgolf uses open source software in its products and services and anticipates using open source software in the future. Some open source software licenses require those who distribute open source software as part of their own software products to publicly disclose all or part of the source code to such software product or to make available any modifications or derivative works of the open source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. This could allow competitors to create similar technologies with less development effort and in less time and could lead to a loss of sales of Topgolf’s products and services. The terms of many open source licenses to which Topgolf is subject have not been interpreted by U.S. or foreign courts, and there is a risk that open source software licenses could be construed in a manner that imposes unanticipated conditions or restrictions on Topgolf’s ability to provide or distribute products or services. Additionally, Topgolf could face claims from third parties claiming ownership of, or demanding release of, works that it developed using open source software, which could include Topgolf’s proprietary source code, or otherwise seeking to enforce the terms of, or alleging breach of, the applicable open source license. These claims could result in litigation and could require Topgolf to make its proprietary software source code freely available, purchase a costly license, or cease offering the implicated

products or services unless and until it can re-engineer them to avoid infringement. This re-engineering process could require Topgolf to expend significant additional research and development resources, and there can be no guarantee that it will be successful.

Additionally, the use of certain open source software can lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on the origin of software. There is typically no support available for open source software, and there can be no assurance that the authors of such open source software will implement or push updates to address security risks or will not abandon further development and maintenance. Many of the risks associated with the use of open source software, such as the lack of warranties or assurances of title or performance, cannot be eliminated, and could, if not properly addressed, negatively affect Topgolf’s business. Topgolf has processes to help alleviate these risks, including a review process for screening requests from developers for the use of open source software, but Topgolf cannot be sure that all open source software is identified or submitted for approval prior to use in its products and services. Any of these risks could be difficult to eliminate or manage, and, if not addressed, could adversely affect Topgolf’s business, results of operations and financial condition..

Topgolf, its franchisees and its licensees are subject to many federal, state, local and foreign laws, as well as other statutory and regulatory requirements, with which compliance is both costly and complex. Failure by Topgolf, its franchisees or its licensees to comply with, or changes in these laws or requirements, could have an adverse impact on its business.

~~Topgolf is subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations, as well as other statutory and regulatory requirements, including, among others:~~

•~~nutritional content labeling and disclosure requirements;~~

•~~food safety regulations;~~

•~~employment regulations;~~

•~~the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “PPACA”);~~

•~~the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) and similar state laws;~~

•~~data privacy and cybersecurity laws;~~

•~~environmental, health and human safety laws and regulations, including COVID Orders;~~

•~~laws and regulations related to franchising and licensing operations;~~

•~~U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) and other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws; and~~

•~~laws regarding sweepstakes and promotional contests.~~

Topgolf is also subject to U.S. financial services regulations, a myriad of consumer protection laws, including economic sanctions, laws and regulations, anticorruption laws, escheat regulations and data privacy and security regulations. Changes to legal rules and regulations, or interpretation or enforcement of them, could increase Topgolf’s cost of doing business, affect its competitive abilities, and increase the difficulty of compliance. Failure to comply with regulations may have an adverse effect on Topgolf’s business, including the limitation, suspension or termination of services provided to, or by, third parties, and the imposition of penalties or fines.

Many of Topgolf’s franchisees and licensees are also subject to these or similar laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The impact of current laws and regulations, the effect of future changes in laws or regulations that impose additional requirements and the consequences of litigation relating to current or future laws and regulations, uncertainty around future changes in laws made by new regulatory administrations or Topgolf’s, its franchisees’ and its licensees’ inability to respond effectively to significant regulatory or public policy issues, could increase compliance and other costs of doing business and, therefore, have an adverse effect on Topgolf’s results of operations or the results of operations of franchisees and licensees. Failure to comply with the laws and regulatory requirements of applicable federal, state, local and foreign authorities could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses, administrative enforcement actions, fines and civil and criminal liability. In addition, certain laws, including the ADA, could require Topgolf to expend significant funds to make modifications to its venues if it fails to comply with applicable standards. Compliance with all of these laws and regulations, including any future changes in these laws or requirements, can be costly and can increase exposure to litigation or governmental investigations or proceedings, as further described below. To the extent any franchisees or licensees are subject to these laws and regulations, or similar

~~laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which they operate, they will be subject to the same risks described below with respect to Topgolf’s business.~~

Topgolf may not be able to obtain and maintain licenses and permits necessary to operate venues in compliance with applicable laws, regulations and other requirements, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

The development, construction and operation of Topgolf’s venues depend, to a significant extent, on the selection of suitable sites, which are subject to zoning, land use, environmental, traffic and other regulations and requirements. Topgolf is also subject to licensing and regulation by federal, state, local and foreign authorities relating to, among other things, alcoholic beverage control, amusement, health, sanitation, stormwater and wastewater management, protection of endangered and threatened plant, wildlife and species, wetlands protection, safety and fire standards. Typically, licenses, permits and approvals under such laws and regulations must be renewed annually and may be revoked, suspended or denied renewal for cause at any time if governmental authorities determine that Topgolf’s conduct violates applicable regulations. In some jurisdictions, the loss of a license for cause with respect to one location may lead to the loss of licenses at all locations in that jurisdiction and could make it more difficult to obtain additional licenses.

With respect to the sale of alcoholic beverages, each of Topgolf’s venues is required to obtain a license to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises from a state authority and, in certain locations, county and municipal authorities. Certain jurisdictions, however, have only a fixed number of liquor licenses available. As a result, in order to obtain a license in one of these jurisdictions, Topgolf is required to purchase that license from another business, which it may not be able to do on acceptable terms or at all. Alcoholic beverage control regulations impact numerous aspects of the daily operations of each venue, including the minimum age of patrons and Associates, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale purchasing, other relationships with alcohol manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors, inventory control and the handling, storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. Any failure by one of Topgolf’s venues to comply with these regulations, or any failure of a franchisee or licensee to comply with similar regulations to which its business is subject, could result in fines or the loss or suspension of the liquor license for that venue or business, and potentially the loss or suspension of other licenses in that jurisdiction.

Difficulties or failure in obtaining a liquor license or any other licenses, permits or approvals, or in continuing to qualify for, or being able to renew, any existing licenses, permits or approvals, could adversely affect existing venues, or Topgolf’s ability to develop or construct venues, and delay or result in Topgolf’s decision to cancel the opening of new venues, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. Similarly, the inability of any franchisee or licensee to maintain or obtain the licenses, permits and approvals required to develop, construct or operate one or more of their locations would also reduce franchise and licensing revenues, impair growth prospects and adversely affect Topgolf’s business, results of operation and financial condition.

~~Instances of food-borne illness and outbreaks of disease could negatively impact Topgolf’s business.~~

Incidents or reports of food-borne or water-borne illness or other food safety issues, food contamination or tampering, Associate hygiene and cleanliness failures or improper Associate conduct at venues could lead to product liability or other claims. Such incidents or reports could negatively affect Topgolf’s brand and reputation as well as its business, revenues and profits regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether Topgolf is held to be responsible. Similar incidents or reports occurring at franchisees’ or licensees’ businesses or other businesses unrelated to Topgolf could likewise create negative publicity, which could negatively impact consumer behavior towards Topgolf.

There can be no guarantee that Topgolf’s internal policies and training will be fully effective in preventing all food-borne illnesses at its venues. In addition, because Topgolf does not control the day-to-day operations of franchisees and licensees, there can be no guarantee that franchisees and licensees will implement appropriate internal policies and training intended to prevent food-borne illnesses, that their employees will follow such policies and training or that such policies and training will be effective even if complied with. Furthermore, Topgolf’s reliance, and the reliance by any franchisees or licensees, on third-party food processors, distributors and suppliers makes it difficult to monitor food safety compliance and may increase the risk that food-borne illness would affect multiple locations rather than a single venue. Some food-borne illness incidents could be caused by third-party food suppliers and transporters outside of Topgolf’s control. New illnesses resistant to Topgolf’s current precautions may develop in the future, or diseases with long incubation periods could arise, that could give rise to claims or allegations on a retroactive basis. One or more instances of food-borne illness

in one of company-operated or franchised venues, if highly publicized, could negatively affect revenues at all of Topgolf’s venues by changing consumers’ perceptions of Topgolf’s venues and the food that it offers, negatively impacting demand for menu offerings and reducing guest visits at venues. This risk is particularly great with respect to franchised venues given Topgolf’s limited oversight, and exists even if it were later determined that the illness was wrongly attributed to a company- or a franchisee-operated venue. There is also a risk that instances of food-borne illness at a licensee’s businesses could be improperly attributed to Topgolf. Additionally, even if food-borne illnesses were not identified at or otherwise attributed to a Topgolf venue, Topgolf’s revenue could be adversely affected if instances of food-borne illnesses at other businesses were highly publicized. A number of companies have experienced incidents related to food-borne illnesses that have had material adverse effects on their business, operations and financial condition, and there can be no assurance that Topgolf could avoid a similar impact if such an incident were to occur at one or more of venues.

~~Guest complaints, litigation on behalf of guests or Associates or other proceedings may adversely affect Topgolf’s business, results of operations and financial condition.~~

Topgolf may be adversely affected by legal or governmental proceedings brought by or on behalf of guests, Associates, suppliers, commercial partners, franchisees, licensees 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. In recent years, a number of companies in Topgolf’s industry and adjacent industries have been subject to lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, alleging violations of federal and state law regarding workplace and employment matters, discrimination and similar matters, and a number of these lawsuits have resulted in the payment of substantial damages by the defendants. Topgolf could also face potential liability if it is found to have misclassified certain Associates as exempt from the overtime requirements of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and state labor laws, or if it is found to have failed to provide or continue health insurance or benefits to Associates in violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the PPACA. Lastly, Topgolf faces potential liability if it is found to have failed to comply with data privacy laws relating to the collection of data about Associates/employees, such as use of biometric information under state biometric information statutes, such as Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”). Topgolf has had, from time to time, and now has, such lawsuits pending, and there can be no guarantee that Topgolf will not be named in any such lawsuit in the future or that Topgolf will not be required to pay substantial expenses and/or damages at the conclusion of such lawsuits.

In addition, from time to time, guests file complaints or lawsuits against Topgolf alleging that it is responsible for some illness or injury they suffered at or after a visit to a venue, and Topgolf may face greater risk of such complaints or lawsuits in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. From time to time, animal activist and other third-party special interest groups may bring claims before government agencies or lawsuits against Topgolf relating to the impact of its venues. Topgolf is also subject to a variety of other claims in the ordinary course of business, including personal injury, lease and contract claims.

Topgolf is also subject to “dram shop” statutes in certain states in which its venues are located. These statutes generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated individual. Topgolf has been in the past, and may be in the future, the subject of lawsuits that allege violations of these statutes. Recent litigation under dram shop statutes has resulted in significant judgments and settlements against other businesses and establishments similar to Topgolf’s venues. Because these cases often seek punitive damages, which may not be covered by insurance, such litigation if successful could have an adverse effect on Topgolf’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Regardless of whether any claims against Topgolf are valid or whether Topgolf is liable, claims may be expensive to defend, generate negative publicity, divert time and money away from core operations and hurt financial performance. Similarly, claims brought against franchisees and licensees may generate negative publicity that could harm Topgolf’s brand and reputation. Although Topgolf maintains what it believes to be adequate levels of insurance to cover any liabilities it may face, insurance may not be available at all or in sufficient amounts with respect to these or other matters. Any negative publicity concerning such claims, whether involving Topgolf or franchisees or licensees, or any judgment or other liability significantly in excess of Topgolf’s insurance coverage or not covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

The venues business line is susceptible to the availability and cost of food commodities and other supplies, some of which are available from a limited number of suppliers, which subjects Topgolf to possible risks of shortages, interruptions and price fluctuations.

The profitability of the venues business line depends in part on Topgolf’s 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 Topgolf’s control, including changes in general economic conditions, seasonal economic fluctuations, increased competition, general inflation, shortages or supply interruptions due to weather, disease (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) or other factors, food safety concerns, product recalls, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar and changes in government regulations. These and other events could increase commodity prices or cause shortages that could affect the cost and quality of the items that Topgolf buys or require Topgolf to raise prices or limit menu options. The profitability of the venues business line may also be adversely affected by increases in the price of utilities, such as natural gas, electric, and water, whether as a result of inflation, shortages, interruptions in supply or otherwise.

While Topgolf has historically been able to partially offset inflation and other changes in the costs of core operating resources used in the venues business line by gradually increasing menu prices, coupled with more efficient purchasing practices, productivity improvements and greater economies of scale, there can be no assurance that Topgolf or franchisees will be able to continue to do so in the future. From time to time, competitive or macroeconomic conditions could limit menu pricing flexibility, and there can be no assurance that increased menu prices will be fully absorbed by guests without any resulting change to their visit frequencies or purchasing patterns that may offset such increases. If Topgolf or its franchisees are unable to increase prices in response to higher food commodity and other supplies costs, or if such price increases decrease guest traffic or purchasing patterns, Topgolf’s operating results could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, there can be no assurance that Topgolf will generate same venue sales growth in an amount sufficient to offset inflationary or other cost pressures.

Topgolf has entered into a long-term contract with a single distributor, which Topgolf refers to as its “broadline” distributor, which provides for the purchasing, warehousing and distributing of a substantial majority of Topgolf’s food, non-alcoholic beverage and other supplies. Topgolf also contracts directly with the suppliers of certain food and non-alcoholic beverage products, usually with a single supplier for each such product. These agreements, however, are typically for the purpose of establishing an agreed-upon price for the relevant product and do not require the supplier to provide Topgolf’s requirements, or any particular quantity, of such product. If Topgolf’s broadline distributor or any of its other suppliers or substitute suppliers do not perform adequately or otherwise fail to deliver products or supplies to venues, if Topgolf were to lose its relationship with its broadline distributor or any single-source suppliers for which it has not approved a substitute supplier, or if any substitute suppliers also fail to perform, Topgolf may be unable to find satisfactory replacements in a short period of time, on acceptable terms, or at all, which could increase costs, cause shortages of food and other items at venues and cause Topgolf to remove certain items from its menu, any of which could adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Other than forward purchase contracts for certain food items, Topgolf currently does not engage in futures contracts or other financial risk management strategies with respect to potential price fluctuations in the cost of food commodities and other supplies. Furthermore, these arrangements generally are relatively short in duration and may provide only limited protection from price changes. In addition, the use of these arrangements may limit Topgolf’s ability to benefit from favorable price movements.

In addition, the radio-frequency identification (“RFID”) enabled golf balls and golf clubs that are used in Topgolf’s venues are produced by third-party manufacturers in Taiwan and China. As a result, natural disasters and other adverse events or conditions affecting these countries (including, without limitation, adverse weather conditions, political instability, civil unrest, economic instability, outbreaks of disease, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, or other public health emergencies and the impact of public fears regarding any of the foregoing) could halt or disrupt production, impair the movement of finished products out of these countries, damage or destroy the tooling and other equipment necessary to manufacture these products and otherwise cause Topgolf to incur additional costs and expenses, any of which could also have a material adverse effect on its results of operations and financial condition. The location of these manufacturers outside the United States also exposes Topgolf to the various international risks.

Topgolf may become subject to liabilities or other costs under environmental, health and human safety laws that could increase operating expenses and adversely affect Topgolf’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

As discussed above, Topgolf is subject to a number of federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, health and human safety. As the operator and/or owner of the properties on which venues are situated, Topgolf may be subject to liability and clean-up obligations under environmental laws for any contamination of, or releases of regulated substances at or from, these properties, in some cases without regard to whether Topgolf knew of or was responsible for the presence or release of the contaminants or regulated substances. Liability under environmental laws has been interpreted to be joint and several unless the harm is divisible and there is a reasonable basis for allocating the responsibility. In addition, Topgolf’s lease agreements typically provide that Topgolf will indemnify the landlord for environmental conditions which may be found on or about the leased property. Accordingly, should unknown contamination be discovered at any of the properties Topgolf owns, operates or leases, or should a release occur at one of these properties, Topgolf could be required to investigate and clean up the release and could also be held responsible to a governmental entity or third parties for property or natural resource damage, personal injury and investigation and clean-up costs incurred by them in connection with the contamination, and these costs and liabilities could be substantial. Topgolf may also be subject to liability under environmental laws as a result of contamination at properties previously owned or operated by Topgolf or its predecessors in interest or for third-party contaminated facilities to which it has sent waste for treatment or disposal. In the past, certain construction activities driven by Topgolf’s development plans at certain sites (such as the removal of excess soil or the de-watering of shallow groundwater to install targets) have exposed, and any similar construction activities Topgolf undertakes at other sites in the future may also expose, soil or water that has been contaminated from historical activities at the site which must be disposed of or otherwise handled or addressed in accordance with applicable environmental laws. With respect to any of the properties Topgolf owns, operates or leases, the presence of contaminants (including as a result of failure to properly dispose of or otherwise handle or address any contaminants exposed by construction activities), or the failure to properly remediate a property, may impair Topgolf’s ability to use, mortgage or sell that property in the future. Any of these events could impair Topgolf’s reputation and have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.reference.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Stock Purchases

In July 2019, the Board of Directors authorized $100.0 million share repurchase program (the "2019 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market or in private transactions, subject to the Company's assessment of market conditions and buying opportunities. Repurchases under the 2019 Repurchase Program are made consistent with the terms of the Company's ABL Facility and long-term debt, which limits the amount of stock that can be repurchased. Although the 2019 Repurchase Program will remain in effect until completed or until terminated by the Board of Directors, the Company has temporarily suspended the 2019 Repurchase Program. The Company has the ability to resume purchases if it deems circumstances warrant it.

The following table summarizes the purchases by the Company during the ~~first~~third quarter of 2021. These repurchases represent the number of shares the Company withheld to satisfy payroll tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of employee restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards. The Company’s repurchases of shares of common stock are recorded at cost and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity.
