      CARLSBAD, Calif., Jan. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE:ELY) today announced its 2014 full year and fourth quarter financial results.  For the full year, despite challenging conditions that beset the golf industry for much of 2014, including unfavorable weather and changes in foreign currency exchange rates, Callaway returned to profitability for the first time since 2008.

      2015 Foreign Exchange Impacts

      Callaway reported full year sales growth of 5% for 2014 driven by growth in most major product categories (woods +8%; irons +12%; golf balls +4%; and accessories and other +2%) and growth in all geographic segments (United States +5%; Japan +3%; Europe +11%; Rest of Asia +7%; and Other foreign countries +1%).  Additionally, income from operations improved significantly to $31 million compared to a loss of ($11) million in 2013 and fully diluted earnings per share increased to $0.20 compared to a loss of ($0.31) in 2013. This positive turnaround was driven by the increase in sales, improvements in gross margins of 310 basis points, and flat operating expenses, all of which more than offset an approximately $6 million increase in other expense due to a decrease in foreign currency contract gains. The 2014 results also benefitted from a $17 million decrease in pre-tax charges related to the cost reduction initiatives that were completed in 2013. 

      For the fourth quarter, 2014 sales were $135 million, an increase of 6% compared to last year due primarily to increased sales of woods (+21%), irons (+27%) and golf balls (+3%).  The increase in woods and irons was led by a strategic change in product launch timing resulting in the fourth quarter release of the Big Bertha 815 family of woods and Big Bertha Beta Irons and Hybrids compared to no similar product launches in 2013. Although the Company generally reports a loss during the fourth quarter due to the seasonality of its business, this increase in sales, together with a 440 basis point improvement in gross margins, allowed the Company to reduce its net loss per share to ($0.54) compared to a net loss per share of ($0.65) last year.  The 2014 results also benefitted from a $6 million decrease in pre-tax charges related to the cost reduction initiatives that were completed in 2013.

      "We are pleased with our results for 2014," commented Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Callaway Golf Company. "Notwithstanding challenging market conditions for the golf industry as a whole, we were able to grow sales, increase our market share and return to profitability for the first time since 2008 - a significant milestone for us in our turnaround.  Our return to profitability has clearly benefitted from the many actions we have taken during the last few years to improve our operating efficiencies, as evidenced in part by our 300+ basis point improvement in gross margins in 2014. Also, our continued emphasis on cost management has allowed us to increase our investments in tour and marketing and still hold our operating expenses essentially flat with 2013. All in all, we are pleased with how our turnaround has progressed thus far."    

      "Looking forward, while the recent weakening of foreign currencies will adversely impact our 2015 GAAP results, we expect our underlying operational performance to continue to improve in 2015," continued Mr. Brewer.  "Given the strength of our product line for 2015, which was well received at the recent PGA show in Orlando, and anticipated additional improvements in our operations, we expect for 2015 on a constant currency basis not only sales growth and market share gains, but also further improvements in gross margins and profitability. Golf is a momentum business and fortunately momentum is now on our side." 

      Business Outlook for 2015

      Given the significant effects that the recent weakening of foreign currencies will have on the Company's GAAP results in 2015, the Company has provided guidance on both a GAAP and constant currency basis. The GAAP guidance is generally based upon a blend of current foreign currency exchange rates and the exchange rates at which the Company entered into hedge transactions. The Company's hedging program will mitigate but not eliminate the effects of future foreign currency rate changes and therefore any such future changes will affect the Company's GAAP guidance. The Company provided the following estimated full year results for 2015:


      2015 GAAP Estimate

      2015 Constant Currency Estimate

      2014 Actual

      Net Sales

      $855 - $880 million

      $895 - $920 million

      $887 million

      The Company estimates that its 2015 net sales will decline 1% - 4% due to significant changes in foreign currency rates compared to 2014.  On a constant currency basis, net sales are estimated to increase by approximately 1% - 4%.  This growth is being driven by an estimated 5% - 6% growth in the Company's core channel business, partially offset by a change in product launch timing and a reduction in closeout sales compared to 2014. 


      2015 GAAP Estimate

      2015 Constant Currency Estimate

      2014 Actual

      Gross Margins

      40.0%

      42.5%

      40.4%

      The Company estimates that its 2015 gross margins as a percent of sales will be about the same as in 2014.  On a constant currency basis, the Company estimates that gross margins will improve by 210 basis points as compared to 2014. This improvement is expected to result from continued supply chain improvements and a more favorable sales mix.


      2015 GAAP Estimate

      2015 Constant Currency Estimate

      2014 Actual

      Operating Expenses

      $335 million

      $345 million

      $327 million

      The Company estimates that 2015 operating expenses will increase by 2% on a GAAP basis and by 6% on a constant currency basis.  This anticipated increase, on a currency neutral basis, is primarily due to planned additional investment in marketing and tour as well as other normal annual cost increases, partially offset by the Company's continued focus on cost management. 


      2015 GAAP Estimate

      2015 Constant Currency Estimate

      2014 Actual

      Pre-tax income

      ($1) - $8 million

      $29 - $38 million

      $22 million

      Due to the effects of changes in foreign currency rates, the Company estimates that its GAAP Pre-tax income will decrease despite anticipated improvement in operational performance. On a constant currency basis, the Company estimates that its pre-tax income will increase by 32% - 73% as compared to 2014.  The Company estimates that its 2015 income tax provision will be approximately $7 million on both a GAAP and constant currency basis.

      The Company estimates that its fully diluted earnings/loss per share will decline significantly - solely as a result of adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates as compared to 2014.  On a constant currency basis, the Company estimates that its earnings per share would increase by 40% - 90% due to the strength of its 2015 product line and the many operational improvements implemented over the last couple of years.  The Company's 2015 earnings per share estimates assume a base of 79 million shares as compared to 78 million shares in 2014.

      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 prior 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 prior period. It does not include any other effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's results or business. For additional information concerning the effect of changes in foreign currency rates on the Company's 2015 forecast, see attached schedules.

      Excluded Items.  The Company presented certain of the Company's financial results excluding sales related to the Top-Flite and Ben Hogan brands or the products that were transitioned to a third party model, including apparel and footwear in certain regions. 

      Adjusted EBITDA. The Company provided information about its results, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, and impairment charges ("Adjusted EBITDA").

      2013 Non-GAAP Information.  Because the Company previously reported its 2013 results on a GAAP and Non-GAAP basis, the Company has included in the schedules to this release a reconciliation of such information for 2013.

      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.

      Forward-Looking Statements:  Statements used in this press release that relate to future plans, events, financial results, performance or prospects, including statements relating to the estimated 2015 sales, sales growth, gross margins, operating expenses, pre-tax income, and earnings/loss per share (or related share count), as well as the Company's recovery and future gross margins or profitability, the creation of shareholder value, future market share gains, market conditions, brand momentum, and improved operations or performance, are forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are based upon current information and expectations.  Accurately estimating the forward-looking statements is based upon various risks and unknowns including delays, difficulties, or increased costs in implementing the Company's turnaround strategy; consumer acceptance of and demand for the Company's products; the level of promotional activity in the marketplace; unfavorable weather conditions, future consumer discretionary purchasing activity, which can be significantly adversely affected by unfavorable economic or market conditions; future retailer purchasing activity, which can be significantly negatively affected by adverse industry conditions and overall retail inventory levels; and future changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the degree of effectiveness of the Company's hedging programs. Actual results may differ materially from those estimated or anticipated as a result of these risks and unknowns or other risks and uncertainties, including continued compliance with the terms of the Company's credit facility; delays, difficulties or increased costs in the supply of components needed to manufacture the Company's products or in manufacturing the Company's products; any rule changes or other actions taken by the USGA or other golf association that could have an adverse impact upon demand or supply of the Company's products; a decrease in participation levels in golf; and the effect of terrorist activity, armed conflict, natural disasters or pandemic diseases on the economy generally, on the level of demand for the Company's products or on the Company's ability to manage its supply and delivery logistics in such an environment.  For additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties that could affect these statements, the golf industry, and the Company's business, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company's reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.  The Company undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
