FAIRHAVEN, MA - August 5, 2020 - Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) ("Acushnet"), a 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, 2020.

"After a challenging start to the second quarter, the game of golf, with its outdoor field of play and ease of social distancing, has been in high demand in recent months and the broader golf community has done great work to safely welcome golfers back from shutdown and accommodate increased interest in the sport," stated David Maher, Acushnet's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Following the re-opening of our production facilities and distribution centers in late May, we have seen strong demand across all segments of our business, and most notably for Titleist golf balls, which have directly benefited from increased rounds of play."

Mr. Maher continued, "My fellow Acushnet associates have effectively embraced new safety and social distancing protocols throughout our organization, and I am especially appreciative of their dedication and resolve during these unprecedented times."

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

Through the second quarter of 2020, our business was significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Asia, our operations were impacted earlier in the year and are at varying stages of recovery, with Korea nearly fully recovered and other markets continuing to progress. In the United States and Europe, as a result of

government-ordered shutdowns, most on-course retail pro shops and off-course retail partner locations were closed for some portion of March, most of April and part of May 2020. Also, as a result of these orders, we were forced to temporarily close or substantially limit our operations in our manufacturing facilities and distribution centers in the United States and Europe from the end of March until mid-May 2020.

Given the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, we drew down $200.0 million under our revolving credit facility on April 1, 2020, which we subsequently repaid on June 30, 2020. On July 3, 2020, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, provide debt covenant relief for each of the fiscal quarters ending between September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately $109 million of unrestricted cash and $220 million of availability under our revolving credit facility.

Our manufacturing facilities and distribution centers were re-opened in mid-May 2020. By the end of June 2020, substantially all of the golf courses, on-course retail pro shops and off-course retail partner locations in the United States and Europe had re-opened. Rounds of play and consumer demand significantly increased in June and July 2020; however, there is no assurance that this trend will continue or that any resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic will not cause further disruption to our business.

Summary of Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

		Three months ended									Constant Currency
		June 30,			Increase/(Decrease)			Increase/(Decrease)
(in millions)		2020				2019	$	change	% change	$	change		% change
Net sales	$	300.0			$	462.2		$	(162.2)		(35.1)	%		$	(157.6)		(34.1)	%

Adjusted EBITDA	$	33.1			$	75.7		$	(42.6)		(56.3)	%

Consolidated net sales for the quarter decreased by 35.1%. On a constant currency basis, consolidated net sales were down 34.1%, with all reportable segments down because of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by results from KJUS, which we acquired in the third quarter of 2019. The results from KJUS have not been allocated to any of our reportable segments.

On a geographic basis, net sales in the United States decreased by 43.3% in the quarter as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales were lower across all reportable segments, with Titleist golf balls sales down $50.7 million, FootJoy golf wear sales down $28.8 million, Titleist golf clubs sales down $25.8 million and Titleist golf gear sales down $7.9 million. The decrease in net sales was partially offset by results from KJUS.

Net sales in regions outside of the United States were also negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales in regions outside the United States were down 24.8% and down 22.6% on a constant currency basis. This decrease in net sales was due to decreases in sales volumes across all reportable segments as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in all regions except Korea. Korea net sales increased primarily due to higher sales volumes from FootJoy golf wear in all product categories and Titleist golf clubs.

Segment specifics:

• Net sales across all of our reportable segments were down as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sales volumes.

• 41.1% decrease in net sales (40.3% decrease on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf balls.

Net sales in regions outside of the United States were also negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Net sales in regions outside the United States were down 13.9% and down 11.5% on a constant currency basis. This decrease in net sales was due to decreases in sales volumes across all reportable segments, primarily as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in all regions except Korea. Korea net sales increased across all reportable segments with the exception of Titleist golf gear, which decreased slightly. Additionally, results from KJUS partially offset declines in EMEA.

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.

We use net sales on a constant currency basis to evaluate the sales performance of our business in period over period comparisons and for forecasting 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 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.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization and other items defined in the agreement, including: share-based compensation expense; restructuring and transformation costs; certain transaction fees; extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring losses or charges; indemnification expense (income); certain pension settlement costs; certain other non-cash (gains) losses, net and the net income relating to noncontrolling interests. We define Adjusted EBITDA in a manner consistent with the term "Consolidated EBITDA" as it is defined in our credit agreement.

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure 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 pricing of our products, go to market execution and costs to incur across our business.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our consolidated operating performance. By presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between different periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered an alternative to net income 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 non- recurring items, or affected by similar non-recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical

12

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.
