CARLSBAD, Calif., Oct. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE:ELY) announced today record third quarter 2019 net sales and strong earnings growth while also reiterating full year net sales and Adjusted EBITDA guidance and increasing full year 2019 earnings per share guidance.

"I am very pleased to announce yet another record quarter in revenue and strong earnings growth for our Company," commented Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Callaway Golf Company (the "Company").  "Our portfolio of brands continues to deliver strong financial results while positioning us for attractive long-term prospects."

Mr. Brewer continued, "Our golf equipment business continues to deliver attractive revenue growth, now up 5% year to date on a constant currency basis, as a result of a strong 2019 product lineup and the recently launched Epic Forged irons and MD5 Jaws wedges, which have been received well by the market. Our soft goods portfolio continues to experience even stronger growth rates.  These increases were led by robust growth in our direct-to-consumer channel, including Jack Wolfskin and TravisMathew.  The direct-to-consumer channel continues to be an area of focus and investment."

GAAP and Non-GAAP Results

In addition to the Company's results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company provided information on a non-GAAP basis. The purpose of this non-GAAP presentation is to provide additional information to investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company's business without certain non-recurring items and non-cash purchase accounting adjustments related to our acquisitions.    

The Company also provided sales information on a constant currency basis and information regarding its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash stock compensation expenses,  non-recurring OGIO, TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin transaction and transition-related expenses, and non-recurring advisory fees ("Adjusted EBITDA").

The manner in which this non-GAAP information is derived is discussed further toward the end of this release, and the Company has provided in the tables to this release a reconciliation of the non-GAAP information to the most directly comparable GAAP information.

Adjusted EBITDA

$34.8

Net sales increased 62% to $426 million, a new record for the Company, and on a constant currency basis, net sales would have increased by 65%. The increase reflects the acquisition of Jack Wolfskin in January 2019, which contributed $134 million in net sales in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, net sales increased 11% in the third quarter of 2019 driven by product launch timing in the golf clubs segment (up 18% on a constant currency basis) related to the third quarter launches of Epic Forged irons, Epic Forged Star irons, and MD5 Jaw wedges, as well as continued brand momentum in the TravisMathew business.

Gross margin increased 100 basis points to 44.9%, driven by favorable mix impact of the Jack Wolfskin and TravisMathew businesses, which were both accretive to gross margin in the third quarter, as well as favorable golf club launch timing, all offset slightly by the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates.   

Operating expenses increased 44% to $151 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $105 million for the same period in 2018. Excluding non-recurring and acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses increased $44 million, or 43%, to $147 million when compared to $103 million in the third quarter of 2018. This increase is primarily due to the addition in 2019 of operating expenses from the Jack Wolfskin business, which added an incremental $37 million excluding the acquisition-related expenses. The remainder of the increase was related to investments in the TravisMathew and golf equipment businesses to support the sales growth.

Earnings per share increased 220% to $0.32, compared to $0.10 for the third quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, 2019 third quarter earnings per share was $0.36, which excludes $0.04 per share related to the non-cash purchase accounting adjustments and the non-recurring transition expenses related to the Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO acquisitions. The non-GAAP earnings per share in 2019 includes a $8 million ($0.07 per share) increase in other expense primarily related to interest expense on the new term loan entered into in January 2019 to fund the purchase of Jack Wolfskin. This increase in other expense was slightly offset by a lower tax rate.

Net sales increased 31% to $1,389 million, a new record for the Company. On a constant currency basis, net sales would have increased by 34%. The increase reflects the acquisition of Jack Wolfskin completed in January 2019, which contributed $275 million in net sales in the first nine months of 2019. Excluding the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, net sales increased 6% in the first nine months of 2019 driven by increases in all operating segments and all major product categories. This increase is attributable to the continued strength of the Company's 2019 golf product line and continued brand momentum of the TravisMathew business.

Gross margin decreased 210 basis points to 45.8% for the first nine months of 2019 compared to 47.9% for the first nine months of 2018. Excluding a non-cash purchase accounting adjustment related to the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, gross margins were 46.6%, a decrease of 130 basis points. The decrease is primarily attributable to foreign currency headwinds and the current year golf equipment product mix of premium products, which typically have higher product costs due to more advanced technology resulting in lower gross margins.  The decrease is partially offset by the TravisMathew business, which is accretive on a gross margin basis through the first nine months of the year.

Operating expenses increased 43% to $481 million in the first nine months of 2019 compared to $337 million for the same period in 2018. Excluding non-recurring and acquisition-related expenses, operating expenses increased $133 million, or 40%, to $468 million when compared to $335 million in the first nine months of 2018. This increase is primarily due to the addition in 2019 of operating expenses from the Jack Wolfskin business, which added an incremental $113 million excluding the acquisition-related expenses. The remainder of the increase was related to investments in the TravisMathew and golf equipment businesses to support the sales growth.

Earnings per share decreased 18% to $1.13, compared to $1.37 for the first nine months of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, the first nine months of 2019 earnings per share was $1.35, which excludes $0.22 per share related to the non-cash purchase accounting adjustments and the non-recurring transaction and transition expenses related to the Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO acquisitions. The non-GAAP earnings per share in 2019 includes a $26 million ($0.23 per share) increase in other expense primarily related to the new term loan entered into in January 2019 to fund the purchase of Jack Wolfskin. This increase in other expense was slightly offset by a lower tax rate.

Business Outlook for 2019

Basis for Full Year 2019 Non-GAAP Estimates. The Company currently estimates that non-cash purchase accounting adjustments related to Jack Wolfskin will have a negative impact on 2019 earnings per share in the amount of approximately $0.12.  The non-cash purchase accounting adjustments for the OGIO and TravisMathew acquisitions will have a $0.01 negative impact on earnings per share in 2019, consistent with 2018. Both of these estimates are unchanged from the Company's prior estimates.

In addition to these purchase accounting adjustments, the Company's non-GAAP guidance for 2019 excludes $0.13 per share of non-recurring transaction and transition expenses related to the Jack Wolfskin transaction, and non-recurring advisory fees. The 2018 non-GAAP adjusted results presented below exclude the $0.01 per share of non-recurring transaction income related to the Jack Wolfskin acquisition.  Reconciliation is provided in the attached schedules. 

Full Year 2019 Guidance

The purpose of the non-GAAP presentation is to provide additional information to investors regarding the underlying performance of the Company's business without certain non-recurring items and non-cash purchase accounting adjustments related to our acquisitions.  The manner in which this non-GAAP information is derived is discussed further toward the end of this release, and the Company has provided in the tables to this release a reconciliation of the non-GAAP information to the most directly comparable GAAP information.

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 ("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." This information estimates the impact of changes in foreign currency 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.  

Adjusted EBITDA.  The Company provides information about its results excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, non-cash stock  compensation expenses, non-recurring OGIO, TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin transaction and transition-related expenses, as well as non-recurring advisory fees.

Other Adjustments. The Company presents certain of its financial results excluding the non-recurring OGIO, TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin transaction and transition expenses.

In addition, the Company has included in the schedules 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 of the Company's business without regard to these items. The Company has provided reconciling information in the attached schedules.
