The only prior tagged earnings event saw shares fall despite seemingly constructive fundamentals and guidance, hinting at a tendency for negative reactions to earnings.

Recent Company History

In the last earnings release on Feb 12, 2026, Callaway reported $2.06B 2025 net sales and $222.4M Adjusted EBITDA, completed portfolio sales to refocus as a pure‑play golf equipment company, and introduced 2026 guidance of $1.98B–$2.05B revenue and $170M–$195M Adjusted EBITDA while moving to a net cash position. Despite these shifts and a new share repurchase program, the stock moved -15.05% in the following session. Today’s Q1 2026 results build directly on that guidance with higher initial execution and outlook.

Compared with the prior earnings event that set 2026 guidance of $1.98B–$2.05B revenue and $170M–$195M Adjusted EBITDA, this Q1 release reports $687.5M in net sales and meaningfully higher non‑GAAP profitability, alongside a raised 2026 outlook of $2.015B–$2.070B revenue and $211M–$233M Adjusted EBITDA, plus confirmation of a net cash position and retirement of $258M convertible notes.

Analysis

The stock surged +18.6% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with the robust Q1 metrics and raised 2026 outlook. Net sales of $687.5M, a 31.1% jump in Adjusted EBITDA to $163.7M, and non‑GAAP net income growth of 95.8% strengthen the case against a stock that still trades far below its 200-day MA. However, the prior earnings event on Feb 12, 2026 saw a -15.05% move, highlighting that past rallies after results have not always been durable and that execution versus new guidance of $2.015B–$2.070B revenue and $211M–$233M Adjusted EBITDA remains a key risk factor.

Key Terms

adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP, basis points, convertible notes, +4 more

8 terms

adjusted EBITDA financial

""First Quarter Net Sales (+9%), Net Income... and Adjusted EBITDA (+31%)""

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

non-GAAP financial

"Q1 Non-GAAP Net Income from Continuing Operations increased 96%."

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

basis points financial

"GAAP and Non-GAAP Gross Margin increased 250 basis points and 260 basis points..."

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

convertible notes financial

"the Company settled in full its $258 million of convertible notes in cash"

Convertible notes are a type of short-term loan that a company receives from investors, which can later be turned into company shares instead of being paid back in cash. They matter to investors because they offer a way to support a company early on while giving the potential to own a stake in its success if the company grows and later raises more funding.

constant currency financial

"Constant Currency vs. 2025 (1)"

Constant currency is a way of measuring financial results that removes the effects of changes in currency exchange rates. It allows for a clearer comparison of a company's performance over time by showing what the numbers would look like if exchange rates had stayed the same. This helps investors understand whether growth comes from actual business improvements or just currency fluctuations.

equity method investments financial

"Income (loss) from equity method investments | (27.7)"

An equity method investment is an accounting approach used when a company owns a significant share of another company and can influence its decisions but does not fully control it; instead of listing the investment at cost, the investor records its share of the other company's profits or losses on its own income statement and adjusts the investment value on the balance sheet. For investors, this matters because it links the investor’s reported earnings and asset values directly to the financial performance of that partly-owned business, similar to how a partner’s gains affect a small business owner’s books.

non-recurring financial

"NON-GAAP RESULTSNon-GAAP results (1) exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring adjustments"

Non-recurring describes a one-time gain or cost that is not expected to happen again in the normal course of a business, such as a legal settlement, asset sale, or emergency repair. Investors care because these items can make a company’s reported profits look unusually high or low; separating them is like ignoring a single, unexpected car repair when judging someone’s usual monthly expenses, helping assess the company’s underlying, ongoing performance.

amortization of acquired intangible assets financial

"excluding certain non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, including customer..."

Amortization of acquired intangible assets is the gradual allocation of the purchase cost of non-physical items a company bought—like patents, brands, customer lists or software—spread over their expected useful life. It matters to investors because this accounting charge reduces reported profits even though it does not use cash at the time, so understanding it helps separate bookkeeping effects from underlying cash performance and valuation.

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (the "Company," "Callaway," "we," "our," "us") (NYSE: CALY) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"We had a strong start to the year with first quarter revenue increasing 9% and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 31%," commented Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Callaway Golf Company. "While these results reflect some timing between quarters that benefitted Q1, overall these results reflect strong demand for our new products and the good progress we are making with our gross margin and cost savings initiatives. In addition, despite the increased macroeconomic uncertainty, the golf industry and golf consumer remain healthy. This all allows us to increase our expectations for the full year. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, as the team and I have now had the opportunity to fully refocus on this business over the last several months, we are energized by the longer-term opportunities we see. In short, we are pleased with both the start to our year and what we see as the longer-term direction of our business."

FIRST QUARTER 2026 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS COMMENTARY

(All comparisons to prior periods are calculated on a year-over-year basis, unless otherwise noted)

The Company's net sales from continuing operations of $687.5 million increased 9.2% due to a 9.5% increase in the Golf Equipment segment, driven by its strong new product lineup and a healthy start to the golf season. Additionally, the Company had an 8.4% increase in the Apparel, Gear and Other segment as a result of strength in TravisMathew sales. The Company also saw a $7.6 million benefit from foreign currency as the U.S. dollar weakened early in the quarter.

GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin increased approximately 250 and 260 basis points to 47.5% and 47.7%, respectively. The increases in gross margin were due to the increased sales and positive impacts from the Company's gross margin initiatives, which include select price increases.

GAAP operating expense increased 4.4%, while non-GAAP operating expense increased 3.4%. The increased expense was due to lapping the $12 million one‑time benefit related to the early termination of the Company's former Japan headquarters lease in Q1 last year. Excluding the Japan lease, expenses were down versus last year driven by the previously announced cost-savings initiatives and some timing of spend between Q1 and Q2.

Net income from continuing operations was $74.9 million on a GAAP basis and $111.8 million on a non-GAAP basis. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations was $163.7 million, which represented a 31.1% increase year-over-year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven primarily by higher net sales and improved gross margins. These benefits more than offset approximately $18 million of incremental tariff expense and the year‑over‑year headwind from lapping the $12 million one-time Japan lease benefit in Q1 2025.

Non-GAAP Information

The GAAP results contained in this press release and the financial statement schedules attached to this press release have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). To supplement the GAAP results, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial information as follows:

Constant Currency Basis. The Company provided certain information regarding the Company's financial results or projected financial results on a "constant currency basis" or as "constant currency" results. This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the translation of the Company's current or projected future period financial results as compared to the applicable comparable period. This impact is derived by taking the current or projected local currency results and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's results or business.

Non-Recurring, Non-cash and Interest Expense Adjustments. The Company provided information excluding certain non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, including customer and distributor relationships and acquired developed technology related to the Company's acquisitions of TravisMathew and OGIO (together, the "Acquisitions"). While the amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP net income, the revenue and operating costs associated with these acquired companies is reflected in non-GAAP net income calculations, as well as the acquired assets that contribute to revenue generation. For specific non-recurring adjustment items, please see the Supplemental Financial Information and Non-GAAP Reconciliation section of this release. Non-recurring adjustments include, among other things subtraction of costs related to a plan intended to optimize organizational efficiencies and decrease operating costs under the separate business structures that are anticipated after the separation of Topgolf (the "Transformation Plan"). Costs incurred related to Non-Recurring and Non-Cash Adjustments are excluded from the measurement of segment profitability for internal and external reporting purposes. In addition, we have added back to certain of our non-GAAP results interest expense relating to debt incurred at the corporate level that is categorized under discontinued operations in order to burden continuing operations with the full impact of the Company's total term debt.

Adjusted EBITDA. The Company provides information about its results excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, stock compensation expense, non-cash lease amortization expense, and the non-recurring and non-cash items referenced above.

In addition, the Company has included in the schedules attached to this release a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP information to the most directly comparable GAAP information. The non-GAAP information presented in this release and related schedules 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 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, and, in some cases, financial condition, of the Company's business with regard to these items.

For forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations, a reconciliation to net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most closely comparable GAAP financial measure, is not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable efforts. The inability to provide a reconciliation is because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact net income in the future but would not impact Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations. These items may include certain non-cash depreciation, which will fluctuate based on the Company's level of capital expenditures, non-cash amortization of intangibles related to the Company's Acquisitions, income taxes, which can fluctuate based on changes in the other items noted and/or future forecasts, interest expense, which varies based upon the amount of borrowing to fund the business, and other non-recurring costs and non-cash adjustments. Historically, the Company has excluded these items from Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations. The Company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and may also exclude other items that may arise. The events that typically lead to the recognition of such adjustments are inherently unpredictable as to if or when they may occur, and therefore actual results may differ materially. This unavailable information could have a significant impact on net income.

Equity Method Investments. The Company also removes any income or losses from equity method investments from non-GAAP net income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA.
