Insights

Financial Analyst

MODG delivered solid Q1 with strong margins despite lower revenue; maintaining full-year guidance amid segment performance variances.

Topgolf Callaway's Q1 results present a mixed but generally positive financial picture. Revenue declined 4.5% to $1.09 billion, yet the company achieved notable profitability improvements with Non-GAAP operating income jumping 20.9% to $87.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA increasing 4.0% to $167.3 million, both exceeding expectations.

The segment performance shows interesting trends: Golf Equipment revenue dipped slightly (only 1.4%) but delivered a substantial 23.8% boost in operating income, demonstrating exceptional margin expansion from 18.2% to 22.9%. This reflects successful cost-reduction initiatives and strong performance of their Elyte Driver launch despite heightened competition.

Topgolf struggled with a 6.9% revenue decline due to a substantial 12% drop in same-venue sales, shifting from $2.9 million operating profit to $11.9 million loss. The Active Lifestyle segment showed similar revenue challenges (down 6.1%) but managed a 23.9% improvement in operating profits through effective cost management.

The company's liquidity position strengthened considerably to $805 million, providing flexibility for their planned Topgolf separation. Despite maintaining full-year guidance for consolidated revenue ($4.0-4.19 billion) and Adjusted EBITDA ($415-505 million), management lowered Topgolf same-venue sales expectations from mid-single digits to 6-12% decline, indicating continued consumer spending headwinds in that segment.

The pending Jack Wolfskin sale represents a strategic pivot to core operations, likely improving margin profile while reducing European exposure. Q2 guidance shows continued revenue pressure ($1.08-1.12 billion vs $1.16 billion prior year) with significant EBITDA compression ($139-159 million vs $206 million), reflecting tariff impacts, hedging losses, and ongoing consumer softness.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Q1 consolidated Net Revenue of $1,092 million and strong Adjusted EBITDA both outperformed expectations.
• Q1 Total Segment Operating Income increased 9.7%.
• The Company further strengthened its available liquidity position to $805 million, increasing by 12% year-over-year.
• The Company reaffirmed its consolidated full year Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance (subject to adjustment pending the sale of its Jack Wolfskin business).

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (the "Company" or "Topgolf Callaway Brands", "we", "our", "us") (NYSE: MODG) announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

"We are pleased with our first quarter results as we met or beat our plan in all segments of our business," commented Chip Brewer, President and CEO. "We are particularly pleased with the performance of our Golf Equipment business where the Elyte Driver received numerous awards and we started to benefit from the cost reduction and margin improvement initiatives we began implementing in 2024. We are also pleased we entered into an agreement to sell the Jack Wolfskin business as this will allow us to focus and optimize our resources on our core business and will further enhance our balance sheet and liquidity ahead of our planned separation of Topgolf."

Mr. Brewer continued, "Looking forward, based upon what we know today, we believe our strong start to the year, improving foreign currency exchange rates, and actions we are taking to both reduce costs and mitigate the impact of the current tariff rates, will allow us to maintain our consolidated full year Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance.  This is clearly going to be an interesting year, but we believe we are well positioned to create shareholder value via: building on our core strengths, achieving our consolidated financial goals, and through the sale of our Jack Wolfskin business and the planned separation of Topgolf."

FIRST QUARTER 2025 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS COMMENTARY

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

The Company's net revenue of $1,092.3 million decreased 4.5% year-over-year. This result was better than expected and was primarily due to the decrease in Topgolf same venue sales, the rightsizing of the Jack Wolfskin business and unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates.

On a GAAP basis, income from operations was approximately flat at $66.5 million. On a non-GAAP basis, income from operations increased $15.2 million to $87.8 million, driven by a $10.6 million increase in segment operating income, which was led by increases in both the Golf Equipment and Active Lifestyle segments.

Adjusted EBITDA of $167.3 million increased 4.0% vs. the prior year primarily driven by increased profitability in the Golf Equipment and Active Lifestyle segments.

FIRST QUARTER 2025 SEGMENT COMMENTARY

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

Topgolf

• Segment revenue decreased $29.1 million to $393.7 million, with a decline in same venue sales offsetting revenue from new venues.
• Same venue sales of -12% was in line with expectations.
• Segment operating income decreased $14.8 million to a loss of $11.9 million, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased $15.9 million, to $43.9 million due primarily to the decline in same venue sales, partially offset by on-going cost reduction efforts.

Golf Equipment

• Revenue decreased $6.2 million to $443.7 million primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency rates as well as a more competitive launch environment as all four OEM's launched full new wood lineups in the first quarter, as expected.
• Segment operating income increased $19.5 million to $101.6 million, primarily driven by improved gross margin performance, the favorable impact of cost savings initiatives and a lease termination incentive for our Japan subsidiary.

Active Lifestyle

• Revenue decreased $16.6 million to $254.9 million, due to the planned rightsizing of the Jack Wolfskin business in Europe, partially offset by continued growth in China.
• Operating income increased $5.9 million, primarily driven by cost savings initiatives at Jack Wolfskin resulting from the rightsizing of that business as well as improved gross margins.

The following is a reconciliation of total segment operating income to income before income taxes for the periods presented:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2025		2024		$ Change
Total segment operating income:	$         120.3		$         109.7		$           10.6

Income before income taxes	$           11.6		$           11.5		$             0.1

(1)	Includes corporate overhead and certain non-recurring and non-cash items as described in the schedules to this release.

 

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW HIGHLIGHTS

• Inventory decreased $49.0 million year-over-year to $653.9 million, due to the $75.3 million reclassification of Jack Wolfskin inventory to Current Assets Held for Sale.
• Available liquidity, which is comprised of cash on hand plus availability under the Company's credit facilities, increased $85.3 million to $805.0 million compared to March 31, 2024.

2025 BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Despite the current macroeconomic conditions with increased tariffs and a softer consumer environment, and as a result of the Company's strong start to the year, improving foreign currency rates, and actions the Company is taking to reduce costs and mitigate the impact of the current tariffs, the Company is maintaining its prior consolidated full year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance (subject to adjustment for the pending sale of its Jack Wolfskin business). 

Due to the softer consumer environment, however, the Company is decreasing its estimated same venue sales guidance for Topgolf and, as a result, the overall revenue guidance for Topgolf. Despite this decrease in forecasted revenue, and as a result of the cost reduction actions and additional improvements in operational efficiencies, the Company is maintaining the Adjusted EBITDA guidance for Topgolf.

Q2 2025 BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The Q2 revenue outlook includes the expectation for a more competitive launch environment in the Golf Equipment business, the continued impact from the rightsizing of the Jack Wolfskin business, the impact from the sale of the WGT gaming business in December 2024 and a projected decline in same venue sales, which is expected to be in the range of down 7% to down 12% at Topgolf.

The Q2 EBITDA outlook includes the expectation for an approximately $22 million negative impact related to hedging losses, tariffs, and sale of WGT.

2025 FULL YEAR OUTLOOK

The Company's guidance includes its Jack Wolfskin business. The Company, however, previously announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its Jack Wolfskin business. Assuming that sale is completed, which is expected to occur in late Q2 or early Q3, the guidance will automatically be adjusted to exclude the Jack Wolfskin business results for the balance of the year as of the date the sale is consummated. While the Company is not providing updated guidance for its Jack Wolfskin business at this time, the Company previously disclosed that embedded in its February 24, 2025 full year guidance was an estimate for its Jack Wolfskin business of approximately Euro 325 million in revenue and Euro 12 million of Adjusted EBITDA. Given the typical seasonality of the Jack Wolfskin business, this full year estimate is comprised of approximately (a) Euro 115 million in revenue and a loss of Euro 18 million of Adjusted EBITDA for the first half of 2025 and (b) Euro 210 million in revenue and Euro 30 million of Adjusted EBITDA in the second half of 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 and Non-cash Adjustments. The Company provided information excluding certain non-cash amortization of acquired intangible assets, including customer and distributor relationships, reacquired distribution rights and acquired developed technology related to the Company's merger with Topgolf, acquisitions of Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO, and reacquisition of distribution rights in the Korea apparel market. 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. Costs incurred related to Non-Recurring and Non-Cash Adjustments are excluded from the measurement of segment profitability for internal and external reporting purposes, and are included in unallocated other corporate expenses.

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, Topgolf Adjusted EBITDA, and Core Business Adjusted EBITDA (together, the "Projected Non-GAAP Measures") information provided in this release, reconciliation of such Projected Non-GAAP Measures to the most closely comparable GAAP financial measures are 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 the Projected Non-GAAP measures. 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 the Projected Non-GAAP Measures. The Company currently expects to continue to exclude these items in future disclosures of the Projected Non-GAAP Measures 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 GAAP financial measures.

Definitions

Same venue sales. The Company defines same venue sales for its Topgolf business as sales for the comparable venue base, which is defined as the number of Company-operated venues with at least 24 full fiscal months of operations in the year of comparison.
