SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are subject to the “safe harbor” created by that section. These forward-looking statements are included throughout this report, including in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and relate to matters such as our industry, business strategy, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. We have used the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “future,” “will,” “seek,” “foreseeable” and similar terms and phrases to identify forward-looking statements in this report, although not all forward-looking statements use these identifying words.
The forward-looking statements contained in this report are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. We cannot assure you that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional or local economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We believe that these factors include:
•a reduction in the number of rounds of golf played or in the number of golf participants;
•unfavorable weather conditions may impact the number of playable days and rounds played in a given year;
•consumer spending habits and macroeconomic factors may affect the number of rounds of golf played and related spending on golf products;
•demographic factors may affect the number of golf participants and related spending on our products;
•changes to the Rules of Golf with respect to equipment;
•a significant disruption in the operations of our manufacturing, assembly or distribution facilities;
•our ability to procure raw materials or components of our products;
•a disruption in the operations of our suppliers;
•the cost of raw materials and components;
•currency transaction and translation risk;
•our ability to successfully manage the frequent introduction of new products or satisfy changing consumer preferences, quality and regulatory standards;
•our reliance on technical innovation and high-quality products;
•our ability to adequately enforce and protect our intellectual property rights;
•our involvement in lawsuits to protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property rights;
•our ability to prevent infringement of intellectual property rights by others;
•changes to patent laws;
•intense competition and our ability to maintain a competitive advantage in each of our markets;
•limited opportunities for future growth in sales of certain of our products, including golf balls, golf shoes and golf gloves;
•our customers’ financial conditions, levels of business activity and ability to pay their trade obligations;

ACUSHNET HOLDINGS CORP.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, including a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and U.S. GAAP. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements; however, the accompanying interim notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024, nor were those of the comparable 2023 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year ended December 31, 2023. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Variable Interest Entities
VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities independently, or (ii) have equity holders that do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses, or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company consolidates the accounts of Acushnet Lionscore Limited (“Lionscore”), a VIE which is 40% owned by the Company. The sole purpose of the VIE is to manufacture the Company’s golf footwear and as such, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has presented separately on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, to the extent material, the assets of its consolidated VIE that can only be used to settle specific obligations of its consolidated VIE and the liabilities of its consolidated VIE for which creditors do not have recourse to its general credit. The general creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. Certain directors of the VIE have guaranteed the credit lines of the VIE, for which there were no outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the VIE, the Company is not required to provide financial support to the VIE.

Table of Contents
Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
The ownership interests held by owners other than the Company in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries are classified as noncontrolling interests. The financial results and position of noncontrolling interests are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The value attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, separately from the equity attributable to the Company. Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.
Redeemable noncontrolling interests are those noncontrolling interests which are or may become redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon occurrence of an event. The Company initially records the redeemable noncontrolling interest at its acquisition date fair value. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is subsequently adjusted to the greater amount of either the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the redeemable noncontrolling interest's share of comprehensive income (loss) or the redemption value, assuming the noncontrolling interest is redeemable at the balance sheet date. This adjustment is recognized through retained earnings and is not reflected in net income (loss) or comprehensive income (loss). During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $1.0 million redemption value adjustment to increase the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests. The value attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests and any related loans to minority shareholders, which are recorded as a reduction to redeemable noncontrolling interests, are presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity between liabilities and shareholders’ equity. The amount of the loan to minority shareholders was $4.4 million as of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash held in Company checking accounts is included in cash. Cash equivalents consist of short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash. The Company classifies as restricted certain cash that is not available for use in its operations. As of both September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of restricted cash included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $1.7 million.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transaction losses included in selling, general and administrative expenses were less than $0.1 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Foreign currency transaction losses included in selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.0 million and $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments in this update improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this update provide more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company estimates expected credit losses using a number of factors, including customer credit ratings, age of receivables, historical credit loss information and current and forecasted economic conditions, which could affect the collectability of the reported amounts. All these factors have been considered in the estimate of expected credit losses for the periods presented.

4. Product Warranty
The Company has defined warranties generally ranging from one to two years. Products covered by the defined warranty policies primarily include all Titleist golf products, FootJoy golf shoes and FootJoy golf outerwear. These product warranties generally obligate the Company to pay for the cost of replacement products, including the cost of shipping replacement products to its customers. The estimated cost of satisfying future warranty claims is accrued at the time the sale is recorded. In estimating future warranty obligations, the Company considers various factors, including its warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair products under warranty.

5. Debt and Financing Arrangements
Credit Facility
The Company's credit agreement, dated as of December 23, 2019 (as subsequently amended on July 3, 2020 and August 2, 2022 (the "Credit Agreement")), provides for a $950.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility, due to mature on August 2, 2027. On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement (as so amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). On June 28, 2024, the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) ceased to be published (the “CORRA Transition Date”). Pursuant to the Third Amendment, for loans denominated in Canadian dollars borrowed or continued after the CORRA Transition Date, the Adjusted CDOR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is replaced by adjusted term CORRA (the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average administered by Bank of Canada) plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.29547% (for a one-month Interest Period) or 0.32138% (for a three-month Interest Period) (“Adjusted Term CORRA”). The applicable margin for Adjusted Term CORRA loans remains 1.00% to 1.75%, depending on the Net Average Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement).
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on the Company's leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations to be immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its Amended Credit Agreement.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were $359.4 million and $325.2 million, respectively, in outstanding borrowings under the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility with a weighted average interest rate of 6.16% and 6.57%, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had available borrowings under its multi-currency revolving credit facility of $586.7 million after giving effect to $3.9 million of outstanding letters of credit.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On October 3, 2023, Acushnet Company (the "Issuer"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the issuance and sale of $350.0 million in gross proceeds of the Issuer's 7.375% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated October 3, 2023 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee of the Notes, and the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Issuer as guarantors. The proceeds from the Notes offering were used to repay $345.6 million of the outstanding borrowings under the Company's multi-currency revolving credit facility, as well as to pay fees and expenses related to the Notes offering. In connection with the Notes offering, the Company incurred fees and expenses of approximately $6.4 million, of which approximately $6.3 million was capitalized as debt issuance costs within long-term debt on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized to interest expense, net over the term of the Notes using the effective interest rate method. The fair value of the Notes, based on third-party quotes (Level 2), as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $366.6 million and $365.1 million, respectively.
The Notes bear interest at a stated interest rate of 7.375% (an effective interest rate of 7.813%) per year, with interest payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2024. Accrued interest related to the Notes of $12.0 million and $6.5 million was included within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred stock; pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; make loans and investments; sell assets; incur liens; enter into certain types of transactions with the Company’s affiliates; and consolidate or merge with or into other companies. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Indenture.
Other Short-Term Borrowings
The Company has certain unsecured local credit facilities available through its subsidiaries. Amounts outstanding under other short-term borrowings are presented in short-term debt in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets with the proceeds and repayments presented on a gross basis in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. There were $21.2 million and $29.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company's local credit facilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The weighted average interest rate applicable to the outstanding borrowings was 0.59% and 0.45% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had available borrowings remaining under these local credit facilities of $41.5 million.

Table of Contents
Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were outstanding letters of credit related to agreements, including the Credit Agreement, totaling $7.0 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of which $3.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively, was secured. These agreements provided a maximum commitment for letters of credit of $58.4 million as of September 30, 2024.
6. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company principally uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate variability on the Company's results of operations. The principal derivative financial instruments the Company enters into are foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Derivative Instruments
Foreign exchange forward contracts are foreign exchange derivative instruments primarily used to reduce foreign currency risk related to transactions denominated in a currency other than functional currency. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The periods of the foreign exchange forward contracts correspond to the periods of the hedged forecasted transactions, which do not exceed 24 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. The primary foreign exchange forward contracts pertain to the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Korean won and the euro. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount outstanding of all foreign exchange forward contracts designated under hedge accounting as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $234.3 million and $209.6 million, respectively.
Interest Rate Derivative Instruments
From time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to reduce interest rate risk related to floating rate debt. Under the contracts, the Company pays fixed and receives variable rate interest, in effect converting a portion of its floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. Interest rate swap contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The notional value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap contracts was $100.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Impact on Financial Statements
The fair value of hedge instruments recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was as follows:

Total |  | $ | (3,893) |  |  | $ | 4,090 |  |  | $ | 2,213 |  |  | $ | 8,320 |

Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax at the time the forecasted hedged transaction impacts the statements of operations or at the time the hedge is determined to be ineffective. Based on the current valuation, during the next 12 months the Company expects to reclassify a net gain of $0.3 million related to foreign exchange derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, into cost of goods sold and a net gain of less than $0.1 million related to interest rate derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, into interest expense, net. For further information related to amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, see Note 12.

(1) Relates to net (losses) gains on foreign exchange forward contracts derived from previously designated cash flow hedges.
Credit Risk
The Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the derivative contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions, as well as its own credit quality, and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

7. Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 were as follows:

Rabbi trust assets are used to fund certain retirement obligations of the Company. The assets underlying the Rabbi trust are equity and fixed income exchange-traded funds.
Deferred compensation program assets and liabilities represent a program where select employees could defer compensation until termination of employment. Effective July 29, 2011, this program was amended to cease all employee compensation deferrals and provided for the distribution of all previously deferred employee compensation. The program remains in effect with respect to the value attributable to the employer match contributed prior to July 29, 2011.
Foreign exchange derivative instruments are foreign exchange forward contracts primarily used to limit currency risk that would otherwise result from changes in foreign exchange rates (Note 6). The Company uses the mid-price of foreign exchange forward rates as of the close of business on the valuation date to value each foreign exchange forward contract at each reporting period.
Interest rate derivative instruments are interest rate swap contracts used to reduce interest rate risk related to the Company's floating rate debt (Note 6). The valuation for the interest rate swap is calculated as the net of the discounted future cash flows of the pay and receive legs of the swap. Mid-market interest rates on the valuation date are used to create the forward curve for floating legs and discount curve.

9. Income Taxes
Income tax expense increased $1.9 million to $13.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s effective tax rate ("ETR") was 19.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 16.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

The ETR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and federal and state tax credits, as well as the U.S. taxation of foreign income and the Company's geographic mix of income. The ETR for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 differed from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the impact of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and federal and state tax credits, partially offset by the U.S. taxation of foreign income and the Company's geographic mix of income.

___________________________________
(1) In accordance with the share repurchase agreements, shares purchased from Magnus are accrued for at the same weighted average price as those purchased on the open market, as if the purchase from Magnus had occurred on the same day. As such, the average price of Magnus repurchases during any given period will differ from open market repurchases due to the settlement of the previously recorded share repurchase liability, as well as open market purchases made after the completion of the Magnus share repurchase agreements.
(2) Includes $0.5 million and $2.0 million related to shares repurchased not settled as of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Common Stock Retirement
The Company records retirements of repurchased common stock, upon either formal or constructive retirement, at cost and allocates the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of shares acquired to both retained earnings and additional paid-in capital. The portion allocated to additional paid-in capital is calculated on a pro rata basis of the shares to be retired and the total shares issued and outstanding as of the date of retirement. When shares of common stock are retired, they are deducted from the number of shares issued.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company presented as retired 2,215,313 shares of its repurchased common stock with an aggregate value of $143.6 million, including $0.8 million of excise tax on the shares repurchased, which the company intends to formally retire in 2024.
11. Equity Incentive Plans
Under the Acushnet Holdings Corp. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance stock units ("PSUs") and other share-based and cash-based awards to members of the Board of Directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the only awards granted under the 2015 Plan were RSUs and PSUs.
Restricted Stock and Performance Stock Units
RSUs granted to members of the Board of Directors vest immediately into shares of common stock. RSUs granted to Company officers generally vest over three years, with one-third of each grant vesting annually, subject to the recipient's continued employment with the Company. RSUs granted to other employees, consultants and advisors of the Company vest in accordance with the terms of the grants, generally either over three years or, beginning in 2022, with one-third of each grant vesting annually, subject to the recipient’s continued service to the Company. PSUs granted to Company officers and other

Table of Contents
employees vest based upon the Company's performance against specified targets, generally over a three-year performance period, subject to the recipient's continued service to the Company. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of common stock that could be issued is determined based upon the Company's performance against these targets. The number of shares that could be issued can range from 0% to 200% of the recipient's target award. Recipients of the awards granted under the 2015 Plan may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of any shares of common stock issuable upon vesting to a future date elected by the recipient.
All RSUs and PSUs granted under the 2015 Plan have DERs, which entitle holders of RSUs and PSUs to the same dividend value per share as holders of common stock and can be paid in either cash or common stock. DERs are subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions as the corresponding unvested RSUs and PSUs. DERs are paid when the underlying shares of common stock are delivered.

Net income per common share attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. was calculated using the treasury stock method.
The Company’s potential dilutive securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include RSUs and PSUs. PSUs vest based upon achievement of performance targets and are excluded from the diluted shares outstanding unless the performance targets have been met as of the end of the applicable reporting period regardless of whether such performance targets are probable of achievement. During 2024 and 2023, the minimum performance target was achieved relating to certain PSUs and as a result, these PSUs have been included in diluted shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
The following securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding as their impact was determined to be anti-dilutive:

14. Segment Information
The Company’s operating segments are based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) makes decisions about assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company currently has four reportable segments, organized on the basis of product categories: (i) Titleist golf balls, (ii) Titleist golf clubs, (iii) Titleist golf gear and (iv) FootJoy golf wear.
The CODM primarily evaluates performance using segment operating income. Segment operating income includes directly attributable expenses and certain shared costs of corporate administration that are allocated to the reportable segments, but excludes certain other costs, such as interest expense, net; restructuring costs; the non-service cost component of net periodic benefit cost; transaction fees; as well as certain other non-operating gains and losses that the Company does not allocate to the reportable segments. The CODM does not evaluate a measure of assets when assessing performance.
Results shown for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily those which would be achieved if each segment was an unaffiliated business enterprise. There are no intersegment transactions.

(1) Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA")
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the CODM changed how they will evaluate the Company’s performance and allocate resources as a result of ongoing strategic convergence between the golf ball and golf club businesses. Concurrently, the Company updated its internal reporting, including the information provided to the CODM and as such, expects to update its reportable segments in its annual report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2024. Following these changes, the Company will have three reportable segments: (i) Titleist golf equipment, which will include the previous Titleist golf balls and Titleist golf clubs reportable segments, (ii) Golf gear and (iii) FootJoy golf wear. The Company’s activities that do not meet the criteria to be considered a reportable segment will continue to be reported within Other.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
During the normal course of its business, the Company enters into agreements to purchase goods and services, including purchase commitments for advertising (including media placement and production costs), finished goods inventory, capital expenditures and endorsement arrangements with professional golfers.
The Company's purchase obligations as of September 30, 2024 were as follows:

(1) The reported amounts exclude those liabilities included in accounts payable or accrued liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024.
Litigation
The Company and its subsidiaries are party to lawsuits associated with the normal conduct of their businesses and operations. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that some of these actions could be decided unfavorably. Consequently, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary loss, amounts covered by insurance or the financial impact that will result from such matters and has not recorded a liability related to potential losses.
16. Restructuring Costs
During the first quarter of 2024, Lionscore approved a plan to permanently close certain production lines at the VIE's FDL factory and involuntarily separate certain direct and indirect manufacturing employees during 2024, as footwear and production volume is shifted to a third-party supplier (the "Plan"). The remaining direct and indirect manufacturing employees at FDL continue to service the remaining production lines. In relation to the Plan, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded involuntary employee termination costs of $7.0 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Accrued restructuring costs associated with the Plan are included within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as they are expected to be paid out within a year. There are no further material costs expected to be incurred in relation to the Plan. See Note 1 for further information.
The activity related to the Plan was as follows:

(in thousands) |  | Three months ended September 30, 2024 |  | Nine months ended September 30, 2024
Balance at beginning of period |  | $ | 2,013 |  |  |  |  | $ | — |  |  |
Provision |  | — |  |  |  |  | 6,967 |  |  |

Balance at end of period |  | $ | 1,627 |  |  |  |  | $ | 1,627 |  |  |

During the fourth quarter of 2024, Lionscore approved an additional plan to permanently close the VIE's FDL factory in the first quarter of 2025, including the remaining production lines, as it continues to shift footwear production to a third-party supplier. As a result of this closure, FDL plans to involuntarily separate the remaining employees of the FDL factory (the "FDL Closure Plan"). In relation to the FDL Closure Plan, the Company expects to record additional involuntary employee termination costs of approximately $12 million during the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the FDL Closure Plan, which may further impact the Company’s financial position and results of operation in future periods.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations and should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described in “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. You should carefully read “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” following the Table of Contents. Unless otherwise noted, the figures in the following discussion are unaudited.
Overview
We are the global leader in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of performance-driven golf products, and these products are widely recognized for their quality excellence. Today, we are the steward of two of the most revered brands in golf—Titleist, one of golf’s leading performance equipment brands, and FootJoy, one of golf’s leading performance wearable brands.
Our target market is dedicated golfers, who are the cornerstone of the worldwide golf industry. These dedicated golfers are avid and skill-biased, prioritize performance and commit the time, effort and money to improve their game. We believe our focus on innovation and process excellence yields golf products that represent superior performance and consistent product quality, which are the key attributes sought after by dedicated golfers. Many of the game's professional players, who represent the most dedicated golfers, prefer our products, thereby validating our performance and quality promise while also driving brand awareness. We seek to leverage a pyramid of influence product and promotion strategy, whereby our products are the most played by the world's best players, creating aspirational appeal for a broad range of golfers who want to emulate the performance of the game's best players.
We believe our differentiated focus on performance and quality excellence, enduring connections with dedicated golfers, and favorable and market‑differentiating mix of consumable and durable products have been the key drivers of our solid financial performance.
Our net sales are diversified by both product category and mix, as well as geography. Our product categories include golf balls, golf clubs, wedges and putters, golf shoes, golf gloves, golf gear and golf outerwear and apparel. Our product portfolio contains a favorable mix of consumable products, which we consider to be golf balls and golf gloves, and more durable products, which we consider to be golf clubs, golf shoes, golf gear and golf outerwear and apparel. Our net sales are also diversified by geography with a substantial majority of our net sales generated in five countries: the United States, Japan, Korea, the United Kingdom and Canada.
We currently have the following reportable segments: (i) Titleist golf balls; (ii) Titleist golf clubs; (iii) Titleist golf gear; and (iv) FootJoy golf wear. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) changed how they will evaluate the Company’s performance and allocate resources as a result of ongoing strategic convergence between the golf ball and golf club businesses. Concurrently, we updated our internal reporting, including the information provided to the CODM and as such, expect to update our reportable segments in our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2024. Following these changes, we will have three reportable segments: (i) Titleist golf equipment, which will include the previous Titleist golf balls and Titleist golf clubs reportable segments, (ii) Golf gear and (iii) FootJoy golf wear. Our activities that do not meet the criteria to be considered a reportable segment will continue to be reported within Other.
Key Performance Measures
We use various financial metrics to measure and evaluate our business, including, among others: (i) net sales on a constant currency basis, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis, (iii) Adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis and (iv) segment operating income (loss).
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

Table of Contents
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. 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 primarily use Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis 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. 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. 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 non-recurring 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. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. 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 U.S. 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 tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our results as reported under U.S. 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. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp., see “—Results of Operations” below.
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 U.S. GAAP. It should not be considered an alternative to any measure of performance derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA margin 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 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 U.S. 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.
Lastly, we use segment operating income (loss) to evaluate and assess the performance of each of our reportable segments and to make budgeting decisions. Segment operating income (loss) includes directly attributable expenses and certain shared costs of corporate administration that are allocated to our reportable segments, but excludes interest expense, net; restructuring costs; the non-service cost component of net periodic benefit cost; transaction fees and certain other non-operating gains and losses as we do not allocate these to the reportable segments.

Net Sales
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, net sales increased 4.6%, or 5.0% on a constant currency basis, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher sales volumes in Titleist golf clubs.
The increase in net sales in the United States was primarily the result of increases in Titleist golf clubs of $19.8 million and Titleist golf gear of $3.3 million. The increase in Titleist golf clubs was primarily due to higher sales volumes of our newly introduced GT drivers and fairways, partially offset by lower sales volumes of our T-Series irons. The increase in Titleist golf gear was primarily due to higher sales volumes in travel and golf bags product categories. FootJoy golf wear net sales were flat as lower sales volumes in apparel were largely offset by higher average selling prices in footwear.
Net sales in regions outside the United States increased 2.2%, or 3.2% on a constant currency basis, due to higher net sales in Japan, Korea and Rest of World, partially offset by lower net sales in EMEA. In Japan, the increase was primarily due to higher net sales in Titleist golf clubs, partially offset by lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, primarily footwear. In Korea, the increase was primarily due to higher net sales in Titleist golf clubs and Titleist golf gear, partially offset by lower net sales in Titleist golf balls. In Rest of World, the increase was primarily due to higher net sales of Titleist golf clubs partially offset by lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, primarily footwear. In EMEA, the decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments, partially offset by higher net sales in Titleist golf balls and Titleist golf clubs.

Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $28.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gross margin increased to 54.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 52.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in gross profit primarily resulted from an increase of $22.9 million in Titleist golf clubs, primarily due to the sales volume increase discussed previously; an increase of $5.2 million in Titleist golf gear, primarily due to the sales volume increase discussed previously, as well as lower cost of customization; and an increase of $3.0 million in FootJoy golf wear, primarily due to higher average selling prices. The increase in gross profit was partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million in Titleist golf balls, primarily due to lower sales volumes of our performance models. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher sales volumes and favorable product mix in Titleist golf clubs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily a result of increases of $9.4 million in selling expense, $8.1 million in administrative expense and $3.4 million in advertising and promotional expenses. The increase in selling expense and administrative expense was primarily due to higher employee-related expenses. The increase in advertising and promotional expenses was primarily related to higher professional tour expenses and new product launches, largely in Titleist golf clubs. SG&A expenses also include a decrease in gains on foreign exchange forward contracts of $2.7 million, offset in part by a decrease of $0.9 million in foreign currency transaction losses.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses increased $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily as a result of increases in employee-related expenses and additional costs to support product introductions.
Interest Expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to an increase in borrowings.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our effective tax rate (“ETR”) was 19.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 16.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change in the ETR was primarily driven by changes in our jurisdictional mix of earnings.
Segment Results
Titleist Golf Balls Segment
Net sales in our Titleist golf balls segment decreased 1.0%, or 0.8% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to lower sales volumes of our performance models.
Operating income in our Titleist golf balls segment decreased $12.6 million, or 28.8%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher operating expenses of $10.3 million and a decrease of $2.3 million in gross profit. The decrease in gross profit was driven by the lower sales volumes discussed previously and unfavorable manufacturing overhead absorption. Higher operating expenses were the result of increases of $3.8 million, $2.9 million, $2.2 million and $1.3 million in administrative expense, selling expense, advertising and promotional expenses, and research and development expenses, respectively.
Titleist Golf Clubs Segment
Net sales in our Titleist golf clubs segment increased 18.2%, or 18.7% on a constant currency basis, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Net Sales
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net sales increased 2.2%, or 3.1% on a constant currency basis, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by higher sales volumes in Titleist golf clubs, Titleist golf balls and Titleist golf gear, partially offset by lower sales volumes in FootJoy golf wear. A decline in sales volumes of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales.
The increase in net sales in the United States was due to increases across all reportable segments as a result of increases in Titleist golf clubs of $30.9 million, Titleist golf balls of $30.5 million, Titleist golf gear of $8.8 million and FootJoy golf wear of $5.5 million. The increase in Titleist golf clubs was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of our SM10 wedges and newly introduced GT drivers and fairways, partially offset by lower sales volumes of hybrids which are in their second model year. The increase in Titleist golf balls was primarily driven by higher sales volumes of Pro V1 and Pro V1x. The increase in Titleist golf gear was primarily due to higher sales volumes in travel product categories. The increase in FootJoy golf wear was largely due to higher average selling prices across all product categories, primarily in apparel.
Net sales in regions outside the United States decreased 4.1%, or 1.9% on a constant currency basis, primarily due to lower net sales in Korea, EMEA and Rest of World. In Korea, the decrease was primarily due to lower net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments, lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, primarily apparel, and lower net sales in Titleist golf balls, partially offset by higher net sales in Titleist golf clubs. In EMEA, the decrease was primarily due to lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, primarily footwear and apparel, as well as lower net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments, partially offset by an increase in net sales in Titleist golf clubs. In Rest of World, the decrease was primarily due to lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, primarily footwear and apparel, partially offset by higher net sales in Titleist golf clubs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $44.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Gross margin increased to 54.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 53.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in gross profit was primarily the result of increases in Titleist golf clubs of $25.3 million, Titleist golf balls of $19.0 million and Titleist golf gear of $9.0 million, largely due to the sales volume changes discussed previously and lower manufacturing costs in Titleist golf balls. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in FootJoy golf wear of $2.2 million, primarily due to the sales volume change discussed previously and unfavorable manufacturing overhead absorption. A decrease in gross profit of products not allocated to one of our four reportable segments also contributed to the change in gross profit. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by a favorable product mix shift and lower manufacturing costs in Titleist golf balls.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses increased $40.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $13.2 million in selling expense, an increase of $13.0 million in administrative expense, $7.0 million of restructuring costs related to our footwear manufacturing joint venture, as well as an increase of $6.9 million in advertising and promotional expenses and includes the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The increase in selling expense was primarily due to higher employee-related expenses, partially offset by lower retail commission expense in Korea. Administrative expense increased primarily due to higher employee and information technology-related expenses. The increase in advertising and promotional expenses was primarily related to higher professional tour expenses and new product launches, largely in Titleist golf clubs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash needs relate to working capital, capital expenditures, servicing our debt, paying dividends, repurchasing shares of our common stock and pension contributions. Additionally, from time to time, we may make strategic acquisitions and investments to complement our products, technologies or businesses, which could impact our liquidity needs. We expect to rely on cash flows from operations and borrowings under our multi-currency revolving credit facility and local credit facilities as our primary sources of liquidity.
Our liquidity is impacted by our level of working capital, which is cyclical as a result of the general seasonality of our business. Our accounts receivable balance is generally at its highest starting at the end of the first quarter and continuing through the second quarter, and declines during the third and fourth quarters as a result of both an increase in cash collections and lower sales. Our inventory balance also fluctuates as a result of the seasonality of our business. Generally, our buildup of inventory starts during the fourth quarter and continues through the first quarter and into the beginning of the second quarter in order to meet demand for our initial sell-in during the first quarter and reorders in the second quarter. Both accounts receivable and inventory balances are impacted by the timing of new product launches.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $97.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (including $13.0 million attributable to our FootJoy golf shoe variable interest entity). As of September 30, 2024, 95.6% of our total unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was held by subsidiaries in regions outside of the United States, including our FootJoy golf shoe variable interest entity. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by monitoring the funds available among our subsidiaries and determining the extent to which we can access those funds on a cost-effective basis. We are not aware of any restrictions on repatriation of these funds and, subject to foreign withholding taxes, those funds could be repatriated, if necessary. We have repatriated, and intend to repatriate, funds to the United States from time to time to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business.
Macroeconomic factors could impact our results of operations in ways we cannot currently predict. Nonetheless, we believe that cash expected to be provided by operating activities, together with our cash on hand and the availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and our local credit facilities (subject to customary borrowing conditions) will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations is, however, subject to many risks and uncertainties, including current and future economic trends and conditions, demand for our products, availability and cost of our raw materials and components, foreign currency exchange rates and other risks and uncertainties applicable to our business, as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Debt and Financing Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, we had $586.7 million of availability under our multi-currency revolving credit facility after giving effect to $3.9 million of outstanding letters of credit. Additionally, we had $41.5 million of availability under certain local credit facilities of our subsidiaries.
The credit agreement governing our multi-currency revolving credit facility contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on our leverage and interest coverage ratios. This credit agreement also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations to be immediately due and payable. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all covenants under our credit agreement.

In relation to this agreement, we recorded a liability of $32.5 million to purchase an additional 493,040 shares of common stock from Magnus as of September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we repurchased 2,215,313 shares of common stock at an average price of $64.47 for an aggregate of $142.8 million. Included in this amount were 587,520 shares of our common stock repurchased from Magnus for an aggregate of $37.5 million, in satisfaction of our obligations pursuant to the March 2024 Agreement.
As of September 30, 2024, we had $232.2 million remaining under the current share repurchase authorization, including $62.5 million related to the June 2024 Agreement.
See “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 10 – Common Stock,” Item 1 of Part I included elsewhere in this report for a description of our share repurchase program and Magnus share repurchase agreements.
Capital Expenditures
We made $42.5 million of capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to be approximately $80.0 million, although the actual amount may vary depending upon a variety of factors, including the timing of certain capital project implementations and receipt of capital purchases. Capital expenditures generally relate to investments to support the manufacturing and distribution of products, our go-to-market activities and continued investments in information technology and facilities to support our global strategic initiatives.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by decreases in net income and deferred income tax expense, as well as changes in working capital. At any specific point in time, working capital is subject to many variables, including seasonality and inventory management, the timing of cash receipts and payments, vendor payment terms and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by cash paid for the acquisition of trademarks related to our gear business during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in cash paid for purchases of our common stock, offset by an increase in payments of employee restricted stock tax withholdings.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, other than as discussed above, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates from the information provided in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
We have reviewed all recently issued accounting standards and have determined that, other than as disclosed in "Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," Item 1 of Part I included elsewhere in this report, such accounting standards will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements or otherwise do not apply to our operations.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks, which may result in potential losses arising from adverse changes in market rates, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices and availability, as well as inflation risk. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not believe we are exposed to material market risk with respect to our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk under our various credit facilities which accrue interest at variable rates, as described in "Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 5 – Debt and Financing Arrangements,” Item 1 of Part I, included elsewhere in this report. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive due to many factors, including U.S. monetary and tax policies, U.S. and international economic factors and other factors beyond our control. We are exposed to changes in the level of interest rates and to changes in the relationship or spread between interest rates for our floating rate debt. Our floating rate debt requires payments based on a variable interest rate index. Increases in interest rates may reduce our net income by increasing the cost of our debt.
From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap contracts to reduce our interest rate risk. Under these contracts, we pay fixed and receive variable rate interest, in effect converting a portion of our floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. As of September 30, 2024, the notional value of our outstanding interest rate swap contract was $100.0 million. See "Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 6 – Derivative Financial Instruments," Item 1 of Part I, included elsewhere in this report for further discussion of our interest rate swap contract.
We performed a sensitivity analysis to assess the potential effect of a hypothetical movement in interest rates on our annual pre-tax interest expense. As of September 30, 2024, we had $283.7 million of outstanding indebtedness at variable interest rates after giving effect to $100.0 million of hedged floating rate indebtedness. The sensitivity analysis, while not predictive in nature, indicated that a one percentage point increase in the interest rate applied to these borrowings as of September 30, 2024 would have resulted in an increase of $2.8 million in our annual pre-tax interest expense. This sensitivity analysis disregards fluctuations in balances of our outstanding variable rate indebtedness due to borrowings and repayments throughout the year.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We are exposed to foreign currency transaction risk related to transactions denominated in a currency other than functional currency. In addition, we are exposed to currency translation risk resulting from the translation of the financial results of our consolidated subsidiaries from their functional currency into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes.
We use financial instruments to reduce the earnings and shareholders' equity volatility relating to transaction risk. The principal financial instruments we enter into on a routine basis are foreign exchange forward contracts, primarily pertaining to the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Korean won and the euro. The periods of the foreign exchange forward contracts designated as hedges correspond to the periods of the forecasted hedged transactions, which do not exceed 24 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. We do not enter into derivative financial instrument contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
We performed a sensitivity analysis to assess potential changes in the fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts relating to a hypothetical movement in foreign currency exchange rates. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of all foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding at September 30, 2024 was $234.3 million, representing a net settlement liability of $3.4 million. The sensitivity analysis of changes in the fair value of our foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2024, while not predictive in nature, indicated that the net settlement liability of $3.4 million would increase by $18.3 million resulting in a net settlement liability of $21.7 million, if the U.S. dollar uniformly weakened by 10% against all currencies covered by our contracts.
The sensitivity analysis described above recalculates the fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding by replacing the actual foreign currency exchange rates and current month forward rates with foreign currency exchange rates and forward rates that reflect a 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar against all currencies covered by our contracts. All other factors are held constant. The sensitivity analysis disregards the possibility that foreign currency exchange rates can move in opposite directions and that gains from one currency may or may not be offset by losses from another currency. The analysis also disregards the offsetting change in value of the underlying hedged transactions and balances.
The financial markets and currency volatility may limit our ability to cost-effectively hedge these exposures. The counterparties to derivative contracts are major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. We monitor the credit quality of these financial institutions on an ongoing basis.

Commodity Risk
We are exposed to commodity price and availability risks with respect to certain materials and components used by us, our suppliers and our manufacturers, including polybutadiene, urethane and ionomers for the manufacturing of our golf balls, titanium and steel for our golf clubs, leather and synthetic fabrics for our golf shoes, golf gloves, golf gear and golf apparel, and resin and other petroleum-based materials for a number of our products.
Impact of Inflation
Our results of operations and financial condition are presented based on historical cost, and inflation in the cost of our products, overhead costs or wage rates may adversely affect our operating results. While it is difficult to accurately measure the impact of inflation due to the imprecise nature of the estimates required, we believe that inflation in the form of increased raw materials and other input costs, including inbound freight and wage rates, have impacted our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Sustained and higher inflationary environments, including increased raw material and other input costs, could materially impact our business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
