Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Acushnet Company, including Acushnet Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include variable interest entities (“VIE”) 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 its business through Acushnet Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s 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 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. See Note 8 for additional information regarding other business developments impacting equity method investments.
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 consolidated financial statements. The value attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented on the 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 consolidated statements of operations and 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 years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $1.7 million and $1.0 million redemption value adjustment to decrease the carrying amount of redeemable noncontrolling interests, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $2.2 million redemption value adjustment to increase the carrying value 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 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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Substantially all of the Company's cash deposits are maintained at large, creditworthy financial institutions. The Company's deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits, due largely to deposits held by the Company’s subsidiaries outside the United States. The Company does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. As part of its ongoing procedures, the Company monitors its concentration of deposits with various financial institutions in order to avoid any undue exposure. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $46.5 million and $48.9 million, respectively, in banks located outside the United States. The risk with respect to the Company's accounts receivable is managed by the Company through its policy of monitoring the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business.
Inventories
Inventories
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which includes an allowance for obsolete or slow moving inventory. Approximate cost of inventory is determined on the first-in, first-out basis. The cost of inventory includes all costs to make products salable including materials, labor, manufacturing overhead, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving, and inspection costs. In addition, all depreciation expense associated with assets used to manufacture products and make them salable is included in inventory costs. The Company's allowance for obsolete or slow moving inventory contains estimates regarding uncertainties. Such estimates are updated each reporting period and require the Company to make assumptions and to apply judgment regarding a number of factors, including market conditions, selling environment, historical results and current inventory trends.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment, net is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, except for leasehold and tenant improvements which are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Gains or losses resulting from disposals are included in income from operations. Betterments and renewals, which improve and extend the life of an asset, are capitalized. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
Leases
Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company's assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtained the right to substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
All leases are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842 and are classified as either operating or finance leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria is met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset, the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset, or the leased asset is of a highly specialized nature. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria.
The Company recognizes operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the present value of the lease payments under the lease. Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: the fixed non-cancelable lease payments, payments for optional renewal periods where it is reasonably certain the renewal period will be exercised, and payments for early termination options unless it is reasonably certain the lease will not be terminated early. The discount rate implicit within the Company's leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental collateralized borrowing rate applicable to the location where the lease is held. The incremental borrowing rate for each of the Company's leases is determined based on the lease term and currency in which such lease payments are made.
The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease expense consists of the lease payments plus any initial direct costs and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of operations. Finance lease charges are split, where amortization of the right-of-use asset is recorded as depreciation expense and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense, net. Variable lease costs are expensed as incurred and include maintenance costs, real estate taxes and property insurance.
The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components within its lease portfolio and has also elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Internal Use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements
Internal Use Software and Cloud Computing Arrangements
Certain costs incurred in connection with the development of the Company's internal-use software are capitalized. Internal-use software development costs are primarily related to the Company's current enterprise resource planning system. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Internal and external costs incurred in the application development phase, if direct and incremental, are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing performed to ensure the product is ready for its intended use. Costs such as maintenance and training are expensed as incurred. The capitalized internal-use software costs are included in property, plant and equipment and are amortized over the estimated useful life which ranges from three to ten years once the software is placed into service.
The Company also enters into cloud computing arrangements to access and use third-party software to support operations. These arrangements are assessed to determine whether the contract is solely a service contract or includes a software license. Implementation costs for a cloud computing arrangement that is solely a service contract, including the integration, configuration and customization of the hosted third-party software, are capitalized and included in either prepaids and other assets or other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Once the software is placed into service, the capitalized implementation costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the fixed, non-cancellable term of the contract, plus any renewal periods that are reasonably certain at that time, which ranges from one to six years.
Identifiable Intangible Assets
Identifiable Intangible Assets
Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Purchased intangible assets, other than goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the asset.
Impairment
Impairment
A long-lived asset (including right-of-use assets) or asset group is tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group to the carrying amount of the asset or asset group. The cash flows are based on the best estimate of future cash flows derived from the most recent business projections. If the carrying value exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the asset's or asset group's carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted expected future cash flows on a market participant basis.
The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. These factors may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated cash flows.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired. The Company performs its annual impairment tests in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
Goodwill is assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. A reporting unit may be the same as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. For purposes of assessing potential impairment, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is considered not impaired. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company records a goodwill impairment loss in the
amount of the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The fair value of the reporting units is determined using the income approach. The income approach uses a discounted cash flow analysis which involves applying appropriate discount rates to estimated future cash flows based on forecasts of sales, costs and capital requirements.
Certain of the Company's trademarks have been assigned an indefinite life as the Company currently anticipates that these trademarks will contribute to its cash flows indefinitely. Indefinite-lived trademarks are reviewed for impairment annually and may be reviewed more frequently if indicators of impairment are present. Impairment losses are recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. The Company measures the fair value of its trademarks using the relief-from-royalty method, which estimates the present value of royalty income that could be hypothetically earned by licensing the brand name to a third party over the remaining useful life.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company defers costs directly associated with acquiring third-party financing. These debt issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related indebtedness. Debt issuance costs associated with revolving credit facilities are included in other assets and debt issuance costs associated with all other indebtedness are netted against long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements
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. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
The Company’s financial instruments are carried at fair value determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The Company’s financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings under revolving credit agreements and other debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments, except for debt, is historical cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of the Company's variable interest rate debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rate (Note 11). The Company’s senior unsecured notes are recorded at face value, less unamortized debt issuance cost (Note 11).
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company provides U.S. and foreign defined benefit and defined contribution plans to certain eligible employees and postretirement benefits to certain retirees, including pensions, postretirement healthcare benefits and other postretirement benefits.
The investments in the plan assets are measured at fair value using quoted market prices or the net asset value as a practical expedient. Projected benefit obligations are measured using various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, rate of compensation increase, mortality rates, turnover rates and health care cost trend rates, as determined at each year end measurement date. The measurement of net periodic benefit cost is based on various actuarial assumptions, including discount rates, expected return on plan assets and rate of compensation increase, which are determined as of the prior year measurement date. The determination of the discount rate is generally based on yield curves or an index created from a hypothetical bond portfolio consisting of high-quality fixed income securities with durations that match the timing of expected benefit payments.
The expected return on plan assets is developed using forward looking asset class return assumptions for each asset class, weighted by the plan’s target exposure to each asset class within the portfolio. The asset class return assumption reflects a combination of historical results, current market characteristics, and long term capital market outlook. Actual cost is also dependent on various other factors related to the employees covered by these plans. The effects of actuarial deviations from assumptions are generally accumulated and, if over a specified corridor, amortized over the remaining service period of the employees. The cost or benefit of plan changes, such as increasing or decreasing benefits for prior employee service (prior service cost), is deferred and included in expense on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of the related employees. The Company's actuarial assumptions are reviewed on an annual basis and modified when appropriate.
To calculate the U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan expense in 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company applied the individual spot rates along the yield curve that correspond with the timing of each future cash outflow for the benefit payments in order to calculate interest cost and service cost.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between consolidated financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis amounts at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred income tax assets when it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will not be realized. Potential for recovery of deferred tax assets is evaluated by estimating the future taxable profits expected and considering prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.
The Company records liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on the two-step process. The first step is recognition, where an individual tax position is evaluated as to whether it has a likelihood of greater than 50% of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. For tax positions that are currently estimated to have a less than 50% likelihood of being sustained, no tax benefit is recorded. For tax positions that have met the recognition threshold in the first step, the Company performs the second step of measuring the benefit to be recorded. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized on ultimate settlement. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the estimates. In future periods, changes in facts, circumstances and new information may require the Company to change the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions. Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recorded in income tax expense and liability in the period in which such changes occur. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations.
The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 subjects the Company to a tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”). GILTI is a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of related foreign corporations. Companies subject to GILTI have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for temporary differences, including outside basis differences, expected to reverse as GILTI. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a period cost.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold includes the cost of inventory, costs associated with operating the Company's distribution centers, costs associated with shipping and handling activities and certain foreign currency hedge gains and losses. Costs associated with operating the Company's distribution centers are expensed as incurred and include warehousing costs, indirect labor and supplies, as well as depreciation expense associated with assets used to distribute products.
Product Warranty
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.
Advertising and Promotion
Advertising and Promotion
Advertising and promotion expenses are included in selling, general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations and include product endorsement arrangements with members of the various professional golf tours, media placement and production costs (television, print and internet), tour support expenses and point-of-sale materials. Advertising production costs are expensed as incurred. Media placement costs are expensed in the month the advertising first appears. Product endorsement arrangements are expensed based upon the specific provisions of player contracts.
Selling
Selling
Selling expenses including field sales, sales administration and commissions paid on certain retail sales are included in selling, general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations.
Research and Development
Research and Development
Research and development expense is expensed as incurred and includes product development costs, product improvement costs, product engineering costs and process improvement costs.
Foreign Currency Translations and Transaction
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation
Transactions denominated in a currency other than functional currency are re-measured into functional currency with the resulting transaction gain or loss recorded within selling, general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations. Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) included in selling, general and administrative were gains of $4.2 million, losses of $2.0 million and losses of $4.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Assets and liabilities are translated from the functional currency of the consolidated subsidiary into U.S. dollars at the actual rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange for the reporting period. The related translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments
All derivative instruments are measured at fair value and recognized as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. If the derivative instrument is designated as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments and of the hedged item are immediately recognized in the statements of operations. If the derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss is initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The gain or loss is subsequently reclassified into the statements of operations at the time the forecasted transaction impacts the statements of operations or at the time the hedge is deemed to be ineffective. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments and the related hedged transactions are included in cash flows from operating activities.
Share-based Compensation
Share-based Compensation
The Company has an equity incentive plan for members of the board of directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company. All awards granted under the plan are measured at fair value at the date of the grant. The estimated fair value is determined based on the closing price of the Company's common stock, generally on the award date, multiplied by the number of shares per the stock award. The Company issues share-based awards with service-based vesting conditions and performance-based vesting conditions. Awards with service-based vesting conditions are amortized as expense over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the measurement of the expense is based on the Company’s performance against specified metrics as defined in the applicable award agreements. The Company accounts for forfeitures in share based compensation expense when they occur.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Income Taxes
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this update provided more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The adoption of ASU 2023-09, with prospective application, resulted in incremental disclosures within the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements. See income tax information in Note 15 and Note 22.
Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company adopted 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. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's allowance for credit losses. See allowance for credit loss information in Note 5.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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.
Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 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.
Derivatives and Hedging
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements." The amendments in this update are intended to clarify certain aspects of the guidance to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance. The amendments in this update should be applied on a prospective basis for all hedging relationships. ASU 2025-09 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Interim Reporting
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow‑Scope Improvements." The amendments in this update are intended to clarify interim reporting requirements enhancing consistency in U.S. GAAP financial statements. It consolidates required disclosures, defines the "disclosure principle" for material post-year-end events, and streamlines the application of interim guidance. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting 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.
Codification Improvements
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, "Accounting Standards Update 2025-12—Codification Improvements." The amendments in this update refine existing guidance to further enhance the interpretation and application of the codification. The transition method of this update may vary on an issue-by-issue basis. ASU 2025-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period and on an issue-by-issue basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Revenue and Contract Balances
Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. The majority of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation to transfer products. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has been transferred to the customer, generally at the time of shipment or delivery of products, based on the terms of the contract and the jurisdiction of the sale. Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the products. Revenue is recognized net of allowances for discounts and sales returns. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time and relates to customers who are not engaged in a long-term supply agreement or any form of contract with the Company. The majority of all sales are paid for on account with most terms between 30 and 60 days, not to exceed one year.
Costs associated with shipping and handling activities, such as merchandising, are included in cost of goods sold as revenue is recognized. The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers as fulfillment activities instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations.
The Company reduces revenue by the amount of expected returns and records a corresponding refund liability in accrued expenses and other liabilities. The Company accounts for the right of return as variable consideration and recognizes a refund liability for the amount of consideration that it estimates will be refunded to customers. In addition, the Company recognizes an asset for the right to recover returned products in prepaid and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Sales returns are estimated based upon historical rates of product returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demands as well as specific identification of outstanding returns.
Contract Balances
Accounts receivable, net, includes amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. See further allowance for credit loss information in Note 5.
