Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Acushnet Company, including its wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include VIEs in which Acushnet Company is the primary beneficiary. In addition, investments in entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through Acushnet Company and its subsidiaries. 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 (the “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, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025, nor were those of the comparable 2024 periods representative of those actually experienced for the full year ended December 31, 2024. 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, 2024 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company changed its accounting principle related to the presentation of costs associated with operating its distribution centers and costs associated with shipping and handling activities. The Company also changed its reportable segments during the fourth quarter of 2024. Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to the current presentation for these changes.
Use of Estimates
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
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 presents separately on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, to the extent material, the assets of consolidated VIEs that can only be used to settle specific obligations of the consolidated VIEs and the liabilities of consolidated VIEs for which creditors do not have recourse to its general credit.
Equity Method Investments
Equity Method Investments
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for equity investments if the investment enables the Company to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies of the investee. The Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of these investees is included in consolidated net income (loss). The Company evaluates equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable. An impairment that is other-than-temporary is recognized in the period identified.
Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
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, 2025 and 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.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
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.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) included in selling, general and administrative expenses were gains of $0.1 million and losses less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) included in selling, general and administrative expenses were gains of $4.4 million and losses of $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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.
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)." The amendments in this update require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets." The amendments in this update provide an optional practical expedient. Under this practical expedient, when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses, an entity may elect to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. ASU 2025-05 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures if the Company chooses to elect the optional practical expedient.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Accounting Standards Update 2025-06—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software." The amendments in this update remove all references to software development project stages. Under this update, an entity will be required to start capitalizing software costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. The amendments in this update permit an entity to apply the new guidance using either a prospective transition approach, a modified transition approach or a retrospective transition approach. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
