FAIRHAVEN, MA – August 6, 2026 – Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) ("Acushnet" or the "Company"), the global leader in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of performance-driven golf products, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
“Acushnet delivered strong results in the second quarter, with net sales up 14% and adjusted EBITDA increasing 46% driven by growth across all reportable segments and regions,” said David Maher, Acushnet’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our results benefited from the successful launch of the new Titleist GTS drivers and fairways, which occurred earlier in the year than our typical third-quarter metal woods launch, and IEEPA tariff refunds.”
Mr. Maher continued, “We are especially pleased with the initial success of new GTS drivers and fairways and their adoption across worldwide professional tours, highlighted by 4 PGA Tour victories. Golf industry fundamentals remain healthy, supported by strong participation and golfer engagement in several key regions. Reflecting our first-half performance and outlook for the balance of the year, we are updating our full-year revenue outlook to $2,650 to $2,675 million and adjusted EBITDA outlook to $450 to $470 million. I would like to thank our team of Acushnet associates around the world for their commitment and dedication as we continue to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Consolidated net sales for the quarter increased 13.8%, or 14.2% on a constant currency basis, driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, primarily due to higher sales volumes in golf clubs and higher average selling prices in golf balls, as well as higher net sales in FootJoy golf wear and Golf gear, due to higher average selling prices across all product categories in both segments.
On a geographic basis, higher net sales in the United States were largely driven by an increase in Titleist golf equipment of $59.0 million. The increase in Titleist golf equipment was primarily driven by higher sales volumes in golf clubs, including our recently introduced GTS drivers and fairways and latest generation T-Series irons, as well as higher average selling prices and sales volumes of our Pro V1 golf ball models.
Net sales in regions outside the United States increased 12.4%, or 13.3% on a constant currency basis, due to increases across all regions. In EMEA, the increase was primarily related to higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, driven by golf clubs. In Rest of World, the increase was driven by higher net sales across all reportable segments. In Japan, the increase was due to higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, mainly golf clubs, partially offset by lower net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments. In Korea, the increase, on a constant currency basis, was primarily due to higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, mainly golf clubs.
Segment specifics:
•20.3% increase in net sales (20.6% on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf equipment primarily driven by higher sales volumes of our recently introduced GTS drivers and fairways and latest generation T-Series irons, as well as higher average selling prices of our Pro V1 golf ball models.
•3.1% increase in net sales (3.1% on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear primarily due to higher average selling prices across all product categories, partially offset by lower sales volumes in apparel and footwear.
•3.8% increase in net sales (3.9% on a constant currency basis) of Golf gear primarily driven by higher average selling prices across all product categories, partially offset by lower sales volumes in the travel product category and golf bags.
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. increased 65.1% to $124.8 million, year over year. Net income was favorably impacted by income related to tariffs previously paid under IEEPA.
Adjusted EBITDA was $208.6 million, up 45.8% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 25.4% for the second quarter versus 19.9% for the prior year period.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Consolidated net sales for the first six months increased 10.5%, or 9.5% on a constant currency basis, driven by growth across all reportable segments largely as a result of higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, primarily due to higher sales volumes in golf clubs and higher average selling prices in golf balls, as well as higher net sales in Golf gear, primarily due to higher average selling prices across all product categories.
On a geographic basis, higher net sales in the United States were largely driven by an increase in Titleist golf equipment of $76.9 million. The increase in Titleist golf equipment was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of our newly introduced GTS drivers and fairways, SM11 Vokey wedges and latest generation T-Series irons, and higher average selling prices of our Pro V1 golf ball models, partially offset by lower sales volumes of our second model year hybrids.
Net sales in regions outside the United States increased 11.4%, or 9.0% on a constant currency basis driven by increases in EMEA, Rest of World and Japan. In EMEA and Rest of World, the increases were primarily driven by higher net sales across all reportable segments. In Japan, the increase was driven by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, mainly golf clubs, partially offset by lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear. In Korea, net sales were up slightly on a constant currency basis, primarily due to an increase in Titleist golf equipment net sales, partially offset by a decrease in Golf gear net sales.
Segment specifics:
•14.8% increase in net sales (14.1% on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf equipment, primarily driven by higher sales volumes of our recently launched SM11 Vokey wedges, newly introduced GTS drivers and fairways and latest generation T-Series irons, higher average selling prices of our Pro V1 golf ball models, partially offset by lower sales volumes of our second model year hybrids.
•2.4% increase in net sales (0.7% on a constant currency basis) of FootJoy golf wear, primarily due to higher average selling prices across all product categories, partially offset by lower sales volumes in footwear and apparel.
•7.2% increase in net sales (6.0% on a constant currency basis) of Golf gear primarily driven by higher average selling prices across all product categories.
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. improved 17.9% to $206.2 million, year over year. Net income was favorably impacted by income related to tariffs previously paid under IEEPA. This favorable impact was offset in part due to the impact of the first quarter 2025 non-cash pre-tax gain of $20.9 million related to the deconsolidation of our FootJoy golf shoe joint venture ("FootJoy JV").
Adjusted EBITDA was $353.1 million, up 25.2% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.5% for the first six months versus 19.8% for the prior year period.

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

A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, as forecasted for 2026, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure, net income, is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility of certain charges that may impact our GAAP results on a forward-looking basis, such as the measures and effects of share-based compensation, restructuring and transformation costs and other items that have not yet occurred and may impact our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in future periods.
