These statements are based upon current information and the Company's current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the Company's business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions.

• | the ability of the Company to manage international business risks;

• | the costs and disruption associated with activist investors;

• | significant developments stemming from the U.K.’s decision to withdraw from the European Union, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company;

• | adverse changes in the credit markets or continued compliance with the terms of the Company’s credit facilities;

CALLAWAY GOLF COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared by Callaway Golf Company (the “Company” or “Callaway Golf”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Commission. These consolidated condensed financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods and dates presented. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Examples of such estimates include provisions for warranty, uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, sales returns, and tax contingencies and estimates related to the Tax Act enacted in December 2017, and estimates on the valuation of share-based awards and recoverability of long-lived assets and investments. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews its estimates to ensure that these estimates appropriately reflect changes in its business or as new information becomes available.
Recent Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in this ASU will remove, modify or add to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurement" ("Topic 820"). The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of this ASU and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures required for public companies until the effective date of this ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated condensed financial statements and disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Additionally, this ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated condensed financial statements and disclosures.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" "(Topic 842)" utilizing the modified retrospective adoption method, and the targeted improvement amendments under ASU 2018-11, which allows entities to change their date of initial application to January 1, 2019 and not restate the comparative prior periods in the period of adoption when transitioning to Topic 842. Under Topic 842, the Company elected the transition relief package to not reassess (1) any expired or existing contracts that are leases or contain leases, (2) the classification of any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Therefore, the consolidated condensed financial statements for 2019 are presented under the new standard,
12

Table of Contents
while the comparative periods presented are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's historical accounting policy. This standard requires all lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. The adoption of the new lease standard had a significant impact on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheets due to the recognition of $133,632,000 of right-of-use assets for operating leases and a corresponding lease obligation of $136,290,000. The accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company's lease classification or on its statements of operations and liquidity. Additionally, adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s debt-covenant compliance under its current agreements. See to Note 2, "Leases," for information regarding the Company's adoption of Topic 842 and the Company's undiscounted future lease payments and the timing of those payments.
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." The new standard refined and expanded hedge accounting for both financial (e.g., interest rate) and commodity risks to create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes. It also targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. Based on the Company's assessment, this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements and disclosures.
Note 2. Leases
The Company leases office space, manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers and vehicles and equipment, as well as retail and/or outlet locations related to the TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin businesses and the apparel business in Japan. Certain real estate leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term for up to eight years. The exercise of lease renewal options are at the Company's sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. When deemed reasonably certain of exercise, the renewal and purchase options are included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligation, respectively. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Right-of-use ("ROU") assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease contract in determining the present value of lease payments. If the implicit rate is not provided, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For vehicle leases, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. In addition, select lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation.

(1) | The Company changed its operating segments as of January 1, 2019 (see Note 18). Accordingly, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

The Company sells its golf equipment products and apparel, gear and other products in the United States and internationally, with its principal international regions being Japan and Europe. Sales of golf equipment in each region are generally proportional to the Company's consolidated net sales by operating segment as a percentage of total consolidated net sales. Sales of apparel, gear and other are proportionately higher in Europe as a result of the Jack Wolfskin acquisition completed in January 2019.

(1) In connection with the Company's assessment of its reportable operating segments the Company also reassessed its reportable regions. As a result, starting on January 1, 2019, the Company will report regional sales previously reported in Rest of Asia and Other Foreign Countries in Rest of World. Accordingly, the prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation of regional sales.
Product Sales
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products when it satisfies the terms of a sales order from a customer, and transfers control of the products ordered to the customer. Control transfers when products are shipped, and in certain cases, when products are received by customers. In addition, the Company recognizes revenue at the point of sale on transactions with consumers at its retail locations. Sales taxes, value added taxes and other taxes that are collected in connection with revenue transactions are withheld and remitted to the respective taxing authorities. As such, these taxes are excluded from revenue. The Company elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the good. Therefore, shipping and handling fees that are billed to customers are recognized in revenue and the associated shipping and handling costs are recognized in cost of goods sold as soon as control of the goods transfers to the customer.
Royalty Income
Royalty income is recognized over time in net sales as underlying product sales occur, subject to certain minimum royalties, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements and is included in the Company's Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment. Total royalty income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $5,467,000 and $4,750,000, respectively, and total royalty income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $10,145,000 and $9,594,000, respectively.
Gift Cards
Revenues from gift cards are deferred and recognized when the cards are redeemed. The Company’s gift cards have no expiration date. The Company recognizes revenue from unredeemed gift cards, otherwise known as breakage, when the likelihood of redemption becomes remote and under circumstances that comply with any applicable state escheatment laws. To determine when redemption is remote, the Company analyzes an aging of unredeemed cards (based on the date the card was last used or the activation date if the card has never been used) and compares that information with historical redemption trends. The Company uses this historical redemption rate to recognize breakage on unredeemed gift cards over the redemption period. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to determine the timing of recognition of gift card revenues. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the total amount of deferred
16

Table of Contents
revenue on gift cards was $1,096,000 and $971,000, respectively, of which $657,000 and $562,000 was recognized into revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $987,000 and $1,063,000 was recognized into revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At June 30, 2019, the total amount of deferred revenue on gift cards was $1,090,000.
Variable Consideration
The amount of revenue the Company recognizes is based on the amount of consideration it expects to receive from customers. The amount of consideration is the sales price adjusted for estimates of variable consideration, including sales returns, discounts and allowances as well as sales programs, sales promotions and price concessions that are offered by the Company as described below. These estimates are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed by customers on the related sales, and are therefore recorded as reductions to sales and trade accounts receivable.
The Company’s primary sales program, the “Preferred Retailer Program,” offers potential rebates and discounts for participating retailers in exchange for providing certain benefits to the Company, including the maintenance of agreed upon inventory levels, prime product placement and retailer staff training. Under this program, qualifying retailers can earn either discounts or rebates based upon the amount of product purchased. Discounts are applied and recorded at the time of sale. For rebates, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration related to the rebate at the time of sale based on the customer’s estimated qualifying current year product purchases. The estimate is based on the historical level of purchases, adjusted for any factors expected to affect the current year purchase levels. The estimated year-end rebate is adjusted quarterly based on actual purchase levels, as necessary. The Preferred Retailer Program is generally short-term in nature and the actual amount of rebate to be paid under this program is known as of the end of the year and paid to customers shortly after year-end. Historically, the Company's actual amount of variable consideration related to its Preferred Retailer Program has not been materially different from its estimates.
The Company also offers short-term sales program incentives, which include sell-through promotions and price concessions or price reductions. Sell-through promotions are generally offered throughout the product's life cycle of approximately two years, and price concessions or price reductions are generally offered at the end of the product's life cycle. The estimated variable consideration related to these programs is based on a rate that includes historical and forecasted data. The Company records a reduction to net sales using this rate at the time of the sale. The Company monitors this rate against actual results and forecasted estimates, and adjusts the rate as deemed necessary in order to reflect the amount of consideration it expects to receive from its customers. There were no material changes to the rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Historically, the Company's actual amount of variable consideration related to these sales programs has not been materially different from its estimates.
The Company records an estimate for anticipated returns as a reduction of sales and cost of sales, and accounts receivable, in the period that the related sales are recorded. Sales returns are estimated based upon historical returns, current economic trends, changes in customer demands and sell-through of products. The Company also offers its customers sales programs that allow for specific returns. The Company records a return liability as an offset to accounts receivable for anticipated returns related to these sales programs at the time of the sale based on the terms of the sales program. The cost recovery of inventory associated with this reserve is accounted for in other current assets. Historically, the Company’s actual sales returns have not been materially different from management’s original estimates.
Credit Losses
The Company's trade accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value, which includes an appropriate allowance for estimated credit losses, as well as reserves related to product returns and sales programs as described above. The estimate of credit losses is based upon historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, the customer’s financial condition and current economic trends, all of which are subject to change. Actual uncollected amounts have historically been consistent with the Company’s expectations. The Company's payment terms on its receivables from customers are generally 60 days or less.

The estimated cost associated with its product warranty continues to be recognized at the time of the sale. See Note 11 for further information.
Note 4. Business Combinations
Acquisition of JW Stargazer Holding GmbH
In January 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of JW Stargazer Holding GmbH, the owner of the international, premium outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment brand, Jack Wolfskin, for €457,394,000 (including cash acquired of €50,984,000) or approximately $521,201,000 (including cash acquired of $58,096,000) (using the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date), subject to working capital adjustments. The Company financed the acquisition with a Term Loan B facility in the aggregate principal amount of $480,000,000 (see Note 5). Jack Wolfskin designs premium outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment targeted at the active outdoor and urban outdoor customer categories. This acquisition is expected to further enhance the Company's lifestyle category and provide a platform for future growth in the active outdoor and urban outdoor categories, which the Company believes are complementary to its portfolio of brands and product capabilities. In addition, the Company anticipates it will realize synergies with respect to supply chain operations as well as warehousing and distribution activities.
The purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition in accordance with Topic 820. To the extent the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, such excess is allocated to goodwill. The Company determines the estimated fair values after review and consideration of relevant information, including discounted cash flows, quoted market prices and estimates made by management. The Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocation as soon as practicable during the measurement period of up to one year after the acquisition closing date as it obtains more information as to facts and circumstances existing as of the acquisition date.
The allocation of the purchase price presented below is based on management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities are valued at historical carrying values, which approximates fair value. Inventory was valued using the net realizable value approach, which was based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonable disposal costs and a profit on the disposal efforts. The customer and distributor relationships were valued under the income approach based on the present value of future earnings. The Company will amortize the fair value of these relationships over a 10-year period. The trade name was valued under the royalty savings income approach method, which is equal to the present value of the after-tax royalty savings attributable to owning the trade name as opposed to paying a third party for its use. For this valuation the Company used a royalty rate of 5.0%, which is reflective of royalty rates paid in market transactions, and a discount rate of 10.0% on the future cash flows generated by the net after-tax savings. The goodwill of $154,234,000 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies expected from combining the operations of the Company and Jack Wolfskin. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has not completed its assessment of the fair value of the operating leases assumed in connection with the acquisition. The Company is also in the process of determining whether the terms of each of these operating leases are favorable or unfavorable compared with the market terms of leases of the same or similar items at the acquisition date. Upon the completion of its assessment, the Company will recognize an intangible asset if the terms of an operating lease are favorable relative to market terms and a liability if the terms are unfavorable relative to market terms. In addition, the Company will adjust the fair value of the deferred taxes acquired and recognized in connection with the acquisition should the Company make any changes to the preliminary purchase price allocation of the underlying acquired

assets and liabilities. As a non-taxable stock acquisition, the Company does not expect the value attributable to the acquired intangibles and goodwill to be tax deductible. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized transaction costs of approximately $9,987,000, of which $1,603,000 and $6,326,000 was recognized in general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $3,661,000 was recognized in 2018. In addition, the Company recorded a loss of $3,215,000 in other income (expense) in the first quarter of 2019 upon the settlement of a foreign currency forward contract to mitigate the risk of foreign currency fluctuations on the purchase price, which was denominated in Euros. In December 2018, the Company had recognized an unrealized gain of $4,409,000 in connection with this foreign currency forward contract.

Supplemental Pro-Forma Information (Unaudited)
The following table presents supplemental pro-forma information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 as if the Jack Wolfskin acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2018. These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies and are based upon currently available information. For this analysis, the Company assumed that costs associated with the acquisition, including the amortization of intangible assets and the step-up of inventory, as well as the tax effect on those costs, were recognized as of January 1, 2018. Pre-acquisition net sales and net income amounts for Jack Wolfskin were derived from the books and records of Jack Wolfskin prepared prior to the acquisition and are presented for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of future operations or of the results that would have occurred had the acquisition taken place as of the dates noted below.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company's consolidated results of operations included net sales of $48,406,000 and a net loss of $22,503,000 attributable to Jack Wolfskin. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company's consolidated results of operations included net sales of $141,115,000 and a net loss of $28,280,000 attributable to Jack Wolfskin. The Jack Wolfskin results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 include the recognition of amortization expense of $6,321,000 and $12,611,000, respectively, related to the fair value adjustment of the acquired inventory combined with the amortization of

the intangible asset related to distributor relationships, as well as $1,066,000 and $1,947,000, respectively, in non-recurring acquisition and transition related costs. These results also reflect the seasonality of the Jack Wolfskin business as many of their product are geared toward the fall/winter season.
Note 5. Financing Arrangements
In addition to cash on hand, as well as cash generated from operations, the Company relies on its primary and Japan asset-based revolving credit facilities to manage seasonal fluctuations in liquidity and to provide additional liquidity when the Company’s operating cash flows are not sufficient to fund the Company’s requirements. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $165,467,000 outstanding under these facilities, $1,177,000 in outstanding letters of credit, and $81,490,000 in cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2019, the Company's available liquidity, which is comprised of cash on hand and amounts available under both facilities, after letters of credit and outstanding borrowings, was $273,387,000. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $96,140,000 outstanding under these facilities, $1,231,000 in outstanding letters of credit, and $57,748,000 in cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2018, the Company's available liquidity, which is comprised of cash on hand and amounts available under both facilities, after letters of credit and outstanding borrowings, was $301,266,000.
Primary Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility
In May 2019, the Company amended and restated its primary credit facility (the Fourth Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement) with Bank of America N.A. and other lenders (the “ABL Facility”), which provides a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $400,000,000, comprised of a $260,000,000 U.S. facility, a $70,000,000 German facility, a $25,000,000 Canadian facility and a $45,000,000 United Kingdom facility, in each case subject to borrowing base availability under the applicable facility. The amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility are secured by certain assets, including cash (to the extent pledged by the Company), the Company's intellectual property, certain eligible real estate, inventory and accounts receivable of the Company’s subsidiaries in the United States, Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom. The real estate and intellectual property components of the borrowing base under the ABL Facility are both amortizing. The amount available for the real estate portion is reduced quarterly over a 15-year period, and the amount available for the intellectual property portion is reduced quarterly over a 3-year period.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $146,003,000 in borrowings outstanding under the ABL Facility and $1,177,000 in outstanding letters of credit. Amounts available under the ABL Facility fluctuate with the general seasonality of the business and increase and decrease with changes in the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable balances. Inventory balances are generally higher in the fourth and first quarters to meet demand during the height of the golf season, and accounts receivable are generally higher during the first half of the year when sales are higher. Average outstanding borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $158,903,000, and average amounts available under the ABL Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2019, after outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, was approximately $136,329,000. Amounts borrowed under the ABL Facility may be repaid and borrowed as needed. The entire outstanding principal amount (if any) is due and payable in May 2024.
The ABL Facility includes certain restrictions including, among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, liens, stock repurchases and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions. In addition, the ABL Facility imposes restrictions on the amount the Company could pay in annual cash dividends, including certain restrictions on the amount of additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a certain fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances. These restrictions do not materially limit the Company's ability to pay future dividends at the current dividend rate. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants of the ABL Facility. Additionally, the Company is subject to compliance with a fixed charge coverage ratio covenant during, and continuing 30 days after, any period in which the Company’s borrowing base availability, as amended, falls below 10% of the maximum facility amount or $40,000,000. The Company’s borrowing base availability was above $40,000,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, and the Company was in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of June 30, 2019. Had the Company not been in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio as of June 30, 2019, the maximum amount of additional indebtedness that could have been outstanding on June 30, 2019 would have been reduced by $40,000,000.
The interest rate applicable to outstanding loans under the ABL Facility fluctuates depending on the Company’s “availability ratio," which is expressed as a percentage of (i) the average daily availability under the ABL Facility to (ii) the sum of the Canadian, the German, the U.K. and the U.S. borrowing bases, as adjusted. At June 30, 2019 the Company’s trailing 12 month average interest rate applicable to its outstanding loans under the ABL Facility was 4.72%. Additionally, the ABL Facility provides for monthly fees of 0.25% of the unused portion of the ABL Facility.

Table of Contents
The fees incurred in connection with the origination and amendment of the ABL Facility totaled $3,178,000, which are amortized into interest expense over the term of the ABL Facility agreement. Unamortized origination fees at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were $2,361,000 and $1,825,000, respectively, of which $708,000 and $476,000, respectively, were included in other current assets and $1,653,000 and $1,349,000, respectively, were included in other long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets.
Japan ABL Facilities
In January 2018, the Company refinanced the asset-based loan agreement between its subsidiary in Japan and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd (the "Japan ABL Facility"), which provides a credit facility of up to 4,000,000,000 Yen (or U.S. $37,076,000, using the exchange rate in effect as of June 30, 2019) over a three-year term, subject to borrowing base availability under the facility. The amounts outstanding are secured by certain assets, including eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable. The Company had 2,100,000,000 Yen (or U.S. $19,464,000, using the exchange rate in effect as of June 30, 2019) in borrowings outstanding under this facility as of June 30, 2019. The facility also includes certain restrictions including covenants related to certain pledged assets and financial performance metrics. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. The facility is subject to an effective interest rate equal to the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (TIBOR) plus 0.80%. The average interest rate during 2019 was 0.86%. The facility expires in January 2021.
On July 31, 2019, the Company entered into a new one-year asset-based loan facility between its subsidiary in Japan and MUFG Bank, Ltd. for 2,000,000,000 Yen, or approximately U.S. $18,386,000 (using the exchange rate in effect as of July 31, 2019). The amounts outstanding will be secured by certain assets, including eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable. The facility is subject to an effective interest rate equal to the TIBOR plus 1.0%, and is subject to certain restrictions including covenants related to certain pledged assets and financial performance metrics.
Long-Term Debt
Equipment Note
In December 2017, the Company entered into a long-term financing agreement (the "Equipment Note") secured by certain equipment at the Company's golf ball manufacturing facility. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $8,503,000 and $9,628,000, respectively, outstanding under the Equipment Note, of which $2,433,000 and $2,411,000 was reported in current liabilities, respectively, and $6,070,000 and $7,218,000 was reported in long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Company's interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings was 3.79%. Total interest expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $173,000. The equipment note amortizes over a 5-year term.
The Equipment Note is subject to compliance with the financial covenants in the Company's ABL Facility. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Term Loan B Facility
In January 2019, to fund the purchase price of the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A and other lenders party to the Credit Agreement (the "Term Lenders"). The Credit Agreement provides for a Term Loan B facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal of $480,000,000, which was issued less $9,600,000 in original issue discount and other transaction fees. Such principal amount may be increased pursuant to incremental facilities in the form of additional tranches of term loans or new commitments, up to a maximum incremental amount of $225,000,000, or an unlimited amount subject to compliance with a first lien net leverage ratio of 2.25 to 1.00. The Term Loan Facility is due in January 2026.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $461,966,000 outstanding under the Term Loan Facility net of debt issuance costs, of which $2,210,000 is reflected in current liabilities. Unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2019 were $16,834,000, of which $2,590,000 was reflected in the short-term portion of the facility, and $14,244,000 was reflected in the long-term portion of the facility. Total interest and amortization expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $9,062,000 and $17,842,000, respectively.
Loans under the Term Loan Facility are subject to interest at a rate per annum equal to either, at the Company's option, the LIBOR rate or the base rate, plus 4.50% or 3.50%, respectively, and any amounts outstanding are secured by the Company's assets. Principal payments of $1,200,000 are due quarterly, and an amount equal to the outstanding unpaid principal is due on the maturity

date. The Company has the option to prepay any outstanding loan balance in whole or in part without premium or penalty. In addition, the Term Loan Facility requires annual excess cash flow payments beginning after December 31, 2019. Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company made a payment of $30,000,000 toward the repayment of this facility.
In order to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations under the Term Loan Facility, the Company entered into agreements with the lenders party to the Credit Agreement to swap the floating rate of LIBOR plus 4.50% to a fixed rate of 4.60% on $200,357,000 of the total principal outstanding under the Term Loan Facility. This was achieved by entering into an interest rate hedge agreement and a cross-currency debt swap agreement, converting the $200,357,000 principal into €176,200,000, both of which mature in January 2025. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized interest income of $1,269,000 and $2,287,000, respectively, under the cross-currency swap to offset the interest expense recognized under the Term Loan Facility.
Loans outstanding under this facility are guaranteed by the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The loans and guaranties are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company and guarantors. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company amended its ABL Facility to expand the security interest granted to the ABL Lenders to match the security interest of the Term Lenders.
The Credit Agreement contains a cross-default provision with respect to any indebtedness of the Company as defined in the Credit Agreement, as well as customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, restrictions on incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions. Events of default permitting acceleration under the Credit Agreement include, among others, nonpayment of principal or interest, covenant defaults, material breaches of representations and warranties, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain cross defaults or a change of control.
The following table presents the Company's combined aggregate amount of maturities for its Equipment Note and Term-Loan Facility over the next five years and thereafter as of June 30, 2019. Amounts payable under the Term Loan Facility included below represent the minimum principal repayment obligations. As of June 30, 2019, the Company does not anticipate excess cash flow repayments as defined by the Term Loan Facility.

Note 6. Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per common share takes into account the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding securities were exercised. Dilutive securities are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share using the treasury stock method in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Dilutive securities include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units granted to employees and non-employee directors (see Note 14).
Weighted-average common shares outstanding—diluted is the same as weighted-average common shares outstanding—basic in periods when a net loss is reported or in periods when anti-dilution occurs.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had a nominal number of securities that had an anti-dilutive effect on the calculation of diluted earnings per common share. Such securities were excluded from the calculation. As of June 30, 2018, there were no anti-dilutive securities and as such, there were no securities excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share.

Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill at June 30, 2019 increased to $209,773,000 from $55,816,000 at December 31, 2018. This $153,957,000 increase was primarily due to the Jack Wolfskin acquisition in January 2019 (see Note 4), which increased goodwill by $154,234,000. The remaining change was related to changes in foreign currency rates period over period. The Company's goodwill is reported in the Golf Equipment and Apparel, Gear and Other operating segments (see Note 18).

Table of Contents
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” the Company’s goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets are subject to an annual impairment test or more frequently when impairment indicators are present. There were no impairment charges recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The following sets forth the intangible assets by major asset class (dollars in thousands):

| Useful Life (Years) |  | June 30, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018

Aggregate amortization expense on intangible assets was approximately $1,246,000 and $267,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $2,466,000 and $534,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Amortization expense related to intangible assets at June 30, 2019 in each of the next five fiscal years and beyond is expected to be incurred as follows (in thousands):

Note 9. Joint Venture
The Company had a joint venture in Japan, Callaway Apparel K.K., with its long-time apparel licensee, TSI Groove & Sports Co, Ltd., ("TSI") for the design, manufacture and distribution of Callaway-branded apparel, footwear and headwear in Japan. In July 2016, the Company contributed $10,556,000, primarily in cash, for a 52% ownership of the joint venture, and TSI contributed $9,744,000, primarily in inventory, for the remaining 48%. In May 2019, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with TSI to acquire the remaining shares comprising the 48% ownership in Callaway Apparel K.K. for 2 billion Yen, or approximately $18,538,000 (using the exchange rate in effect on the acquisition date). The purchase was completed as of May 31, 2019. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the purchase price is due and payable by August 31, 2019, and is therefore included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the Company owned 100% of this entity and controlled all matters pertaining to its business operations and significant management decisions. Callaway Apparel K.K. is consolidated one month in arrears.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded net income attributable to the non-controlling interest of $33,000 and $179,000, respectively, in its consolidated condensed statements of operations. The total non-controlling interest on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statement at December 31, 2018 was $9,734,000.
Note 10. Investments
Investment in Topgolf International, Inc.
The Company owns a minority interest of approximately 14.0% in Topgolf International, Inc. doing business as the Topgolf Entertainment Group ("Topgolf"), the owner and operator of Topgolf entertainment centers, which ownership consists of common
24

Table of Contents
stock and various classes of preferred stock. In connection with this investment, the Company has a preferred partner agreement with Topgolf in which the Company has preferred signage rights, rights as the preferred supplier of golf products used or offered for use at Topgolf facilities at prices no less than those paid by the Company’s customers, preferred retail positioning in Topgolf retail stores, and other rights incidental to those listed above.
Topgolf is a privately held company, and as such, the common and preferred shares comprising the Company’s investment are illiquid and their fair value is not readily determinable. The Company accounts for changes in fair value in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01, which requires equity securities without a readily determinable fair value to be measured at cost, less impairments if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer.
There were no additional investments during the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company invested $282,000 in shares of Topgolf. The shares that were purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2018 from other Topgolf shareholders were not acquired in orderly transactions as these transactions were not exposed to the market and were not subject to marketing activities. Since the adoption of ASU 2016-01, there were no observable transactions which would provide an estimate of fair value. As such, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's investment in Topgolf is reflected at cost less impairments in accordance with ASU No. 2016-01. The Company's total investment in Topgolf as of both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $72,238,000.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company has not recorded any impairments with respect to this investment. If in the future there is an observable price change as a result of an orderly transaction for the identical or similar investment in Topgolf, the Company would be required to assess the fair value impact, if any, on each identified or similar class of Topgolf stock held by the Company, and write such stock up or down to its estimated fair value, which could have a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
Note 11. Product Warranty
The Company has a stated two-year warranty policy for its golf clubs and Jack Wolfskin gear, as well as a limited lifetime warranty for OGIO gear. The Company’s policy is to accrue the estimated cost of satisfying future warranty claims at the time the sale is recorded. In estimating its future warranty obligations, the Company considers various relevant factors, including the Company’s stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty. The warranty provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 includes the warranty reserves assumed in connection with the Jack Wolfskin acquisition (see Note 4).
The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s reserve for warranty expense (in thousands):

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,

Ending balance | $ | 10,976 |  |  | $ | 8,035 |  |  | $ | 10,976 |  |  | $ | 8,035 |

Note 12. Income Taxes
The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC Topic 270, “Interim Reporting,” and ASC Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary quarterly earnings to calculate the tax related to ordinary income. The tax effects for other items that are excluded from ordinary income are discretely calculated and recognized in the period in which they occur.
As of June 30, 2019, significant guidance with respect to the Tax Act remains proposed or outstanding. As such, many components of the 2019 tax expense remain estimates and are primarily based on proposed regulations and other guidance as released by the IRS and United States Treasury. The most significant estimate relates to foreign derived intangible income (FDII) and global intangible low taxed income (GILTI).
25

Table of Contents
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company acquired Jack Wolfskin for approximately $521,201,000 (including cash acquired of $58,096,000) in a non-taxable acquisition. The Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $88,392,000 related to the intangibles upon acquisition (see Note 4).
The realization of deferred tax assets, including loss and credit carryforwards, is subject to the Company generating sufficient taxable income during the periods in which the deferred tax assets become realizable. Due to the Company’s continued profitability, combined with future projections of profitability, the Company has determined that the majority of its U.S. deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance on the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2019 primarily relates to state net operating loss carryforwards and credits that the Company estimates it may not be able to utilize in future periods. With respect to previously existing non-U.S. entities, there continues to be sufficient positive evidence to conclude that realization of its deferred tax assets is more likely than not under applicable accounting rules, and therefore no significant valuation allowances have been established. The Company is currently assessing the need for valuation allowances within the Jack Wolfskin group. As of June 30, 2019 the Company maintains all valuation allowances established prior to the acquisition and will adjust these balances if necessary as the Company obtains more information within the measurement period.
The income tax provision was $7,208,000 and $17,247,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $16,764,000 and $34,466,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in the provision was primarily due to the reduction of pre-tax income. As a percent of pre-tax income, the Company's effective tax rate declined to 20.0% compared to 22.1% for the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to a shift in the mix of foreign earnings relative to the prior year.
At June 30, 2019, the gross liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $12,308,000. Of this amount, $6,597,000 would benefit the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements and effective income tax rate if favorably settled. The unrecognized tax liabilities are expected to decrease by approximately $28,000 during the next 12 months. The gross liability for uncertain tax positions increased by $187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increases in tax positions taken in the current quarter. The gross liability for uncertain tax positions increased to $476,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to increases in tax positions taken in the current year.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company's provision for income taxes includes a benefit of $221,000 and $123,000, respectively, related to the recognition of interest and/or penalties. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company's provision for income taxes includes a net benefit of $189,000 and $6,000, respectively, related to the recognition of interest and/or penalties. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the gross amount of accrued interest and penalties included in income taxes payable in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets was $1,471,000 and $1,660,000, respectively.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities in the following major jurisdictions:

Tax Jurisdiction |  | Years No Longer Subject to Audit
U.S. federal |  | 2010 and prior
California (United States) |  | 2008 and prior
Canada |  | 2011 and prior
Japan |  | 2012 and prior
South Korea |  | 2013 and prior
United Kingdom |  | 2014 and prior

Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, use of the Company's net operating losses and credit carry-forwards may be limited significantly if the Company were to experience a cumulative change in ownership of the Company's stock by “5-percent shareholders” that exceeds 50% over a rolling three-year period. The Company does not believe there has been a cumulative change in ownership in excess of 50% during any rolling three-year period, and the Company continues to monitor changes in its ownership. If such a cumulative change did occur in any three-year period and the Company were limited in the amount of losses and credits it could use to offset its tax liabilities, the Company's results of operations and cash flows could be adversely impacted.

Note 13. Commitments & Contingencies
Legal Matters
The Company is subject to routine legal claims, proceedings and investigations incident to its business activities, including claims, proceedings, and investigations relating to commercial disputes and employment matters. The Company also receives from time to time information claiming that products sold by the Company infringe or may infringe patent, trademark or other intellectual property rights of third parties. One or more such claims of potential infringement could lead to litigation, the need to obtain licenses, the need to alter a product to avoid infringement, a settlement or judgment or some other action or material loss by the Company, which also could adversely affect the Company’s overall ability to protect its product designs and ultimately limit its future success in the marketplace. In addition, the Company is occasionally subject to non-routine claims, proceedings or investigations.
The Company regularly assesses such matters to determine the degree of probability that the Company will incur a material loss as a result of such matters as well as the range of possible loss. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements if it is probable the Company will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews all claims, proceedings and investigations at least quarterly and establishes or adjusts any accruals for such matters to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. All legal costs associated with such matters are expensed as incurred.
Historically, the claims, proceedings and investigations brought against the Company, individually and in the aggregate, have not had a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company. The Company believes that it has valid legal defenses to the matters currently pending against the Company. These matters are inherently unpredictable and the resolutions of these matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes are not predictable with assurance. Consequently, management 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. In addition, the Company cannot assure that it will be able to successfully defend itself in those matters or that any amounts accrued are sufficient. The Company does not believe that the matters currently pending against the Company will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations on an annual basis.
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
During the normal course of its business, the Company enters into agreements to purchase goods and services, including purchase commitments for production materials, as well as endorsement agreements with professional golfers and other endorsers, employment and consulting agreements, and intellectual property licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company is required to pay royalty fees. It is not possible to determine the amounts the Company will ultimately be required to pay under these agreements as they are subject to many variables including performance-based bonuses, severance arrangements, the Company’s sales levels, and reductions in payment obligations if designated minimum performance criteria are not achieved. The Company has entered into many of these contractual agreements with terms ranging from one to four years. The minimum obligation that the Company is required to pay as of June 30, 2019 under these agreements is $95,091,000 over the next four years as follows (in thousands):

Remainder of 2019 | $ | 48,211 |
2020 | 23,791 |
2021 | 14,350 |
2022 | 7,148 |
2023 | 1,591 |
| $ | 95,091 |

In addition, the Company also enters into unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors and suppliers of goods and services in the normal course of operations through purchase orders or other documentation or that are undocumented except for an invoice. Such unconditional purchase obligations are generally outstanding for periods less than a year and are settled by cash payments upon delivery of goods and services and are not reflected in this total.
Other Contingent Contractual Obligations
During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the
27

Table of Contents
Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of Company product or trademarks, (ii) indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facilities or leases, (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to the goods and services provided to the Company or based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company and (iv) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. In addition, the Company has consulting agreements that provide for payment of nominal fees upon the issuance of patents and/or the commercialization of research results. The Company has also issued guarantees in the form of standby letters of credit of $1,177,000 as of June 30, 2019.
The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases, may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum amount of future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to indemnities have not been material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company believes the likelihood is remote that payments under the commitments and guarantees described above will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. The fair value of indemnities, commitments and guarantees that the Company issued as of June 30, 2019 was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Employment Contracts
In addition, the Company has made contractual commitments to each of its officers and certain other employees providing for severance payments, including salary continuation, upon the termination of employment by the Company without substantial cause or by the officer for good reason or non-renewal. In addition, in order to ensure that the officers would continue to provide independent leadership consistent with the Company’s best interests, the contracts also generally provide for certain protections in the event of a change in control of the Company. These protections include the payment of certain severance benefits, such as salary continuation, upon the termination of employment following a change in control.
Note 14. Share-Based Employee Compensation
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had two shareholder approved stock plans under which shares were available for equity-based awards: the Callaway Golf Company Amended and Restated 2004 Incentive Plan (the "2004 Incentive Plan") and the 2013 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan (the "2013 Directors Plan"). From time to time, the Company grants stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units, phantom stock units, stock appreciation rights and other awards under these plans.
The table below summarizes the amounts recognized in the financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 for share-based compensation, including expense for restricted stock units and performance share units (in thousands).

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Cost of sales | $ | 247 |  |  | $ | 256 |  |  | $ | 502 |  |  | $ | 470 |
Operating expenses | 3,283 |  |  | 3,208 |  |  | 6,463 |  |  | 5,994 |
Total cost of share-based compensation included in income, before income tax | $ | 3,530 |  |  | $ | 3,464 |  |  | $ | 6,965 |  |  | $ | 6,464 |

Restricted Stock Units
Restricted stock units awarded under the 2004 Incentive Plan and the 2013 Directors Plan are valued at the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant. Restricted stock units generally vest over a one- to three-year period. Compensation expense for restricted stock units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period and is reduced by an estimate for forfeitures. During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 53,000 and 59,000 shares underlying restricted stock units, respectively, at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $16.73 and $17.72 per share, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted 452,000 and 419,000 shares underlying restricted stock units, respectively, at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $15.35 and $15.22 per share, respectively.
Total compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, recognized for restricted stock units during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $1,683,000 and $1,463,000, respectively, and $3,319,000 and $2,850,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. At June 30, 2019, the Company had $22,385,000 of total unamortized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

Performance Based Awards
The Company grants performance share units and awards subject to total shareholder return metrics under the 2004 Incentive Plan.
Performance share units are stock-based awards in which the number of shares ultimately received depends on the Company's performance against specified metrics over a one- to five-year performance period from the date of grant. These performance metrics are established by the Company at the beginning of the performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of stock that could be issued is fixed based upon the degree of achievement of the performance goals. The number of shares that could be issued can range from 0% to 200% of the participant's target award. Performance share units are initially valued at the Company's closing stock price on the date of grant. Stock compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The expense recognized over the vesting period is adjusted up or down based on the anticipated performance level during the performance period. If the performance metrics are not probable of achievement during the performance period, compensation expense would be reversed. The awards are forfeited if the threshold performance metrics are not achieved as of the end of the performance period. The performance share units cliff-vest in full over a period of three to five years from the date of grant.
The Company granted 265,000 and 307,000 shares underlying performance share units during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $15.17 and $14.80 per share, respectively. There were no shares underlying performance share units granted during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The awards granted during 2019 and 2018 are subject to a three- to five-year performance period provided that (i) if certain first year performance goals are achieved, the participant could earn up to 50% of the three-year target award shares, subject to continued service through the vesting date, and (ii) if certain cumulative first- and second-year performance goals are achieved, the participant could earn up to an aggregate of 80% of the three-year target award shares (which includes any shares earned during the first year), subject to continued service through the vesting date. Based on the Company’s performance, participants earned a minimum of 50% of the target award shares granted in 2018, in each case subject to continued service through the vesting date.
Performance share units with total shareholder return requirements are awards that compare the performance of the Company's common stock over a three-year period to that of the Company's peer group. The fair value of these awards is derived using the Monte Carlo simulation which utilizes the stock volatility, dividend yield and market correlation of the Company and the Company's peer group. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company granted 149,000 shares underlying performance share units subject to total shareholder return requirements at a weighted average grant-date fair value of $16.96 per share. There were no performance share units granted in the three months ended June 30, 2019 or in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 that were subject to total shareholder return requirements. Stock compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis over a three-year vesting period.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized total compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, for performance based awards of $1,847,000 and $1,995,000, respectively, and $3,646,000 and $3,599,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At June 30, 2019, unamortized compensation expense related to these awards was $25,793,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
Note 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Certain of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability (the exit price) in the principal and most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified using the following three-tier hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3: Fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present. These assets include long-lived assets, goodwill, non-amortizing intangible assets and investments that are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or determined to be impaired. During each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no impairment indicators related to the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets purchased in connection with the acquisitions of Jack Wolfskin were valued at their fair value on the date of purchase (see Note 4).
Note 16. Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to gains and losses resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relating to transactions of its international subsidiaries. As part of its strategy to manage the level of exposure to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company uses designated cash flow hedges and non-designated hedges in the form of foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of foreign currency translation on transactions that are denominated primarily in Japanese Yen, British Pounds, Euros, Canadian Dollars, Australian Dollars and Korean Won, and designated cross-currency debt swaps to mitigate the impact of variable interest rates on long-term debt.
The Company accounts for its foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency debt swaps in accordance with ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC Topic 815"). ASC Topic 815 requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet, the measurement of those instruments at fair value and the recognition of changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as a designated cash flow hedge that offsets certain exposures. Certain criteria must be satisfied in order for derivative financial instruments to be classified and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of qualifying cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and released into earnings as a component of cost of goods sold or net sales during the period in which the hedged transaction takes place. Gains and losses on the ineffective portion of hedges (hedges that do not meet accounting requirements due to ineffectiveness) and derivatives that are not elected for hedge accounting treatment are immediately recorded in earnings as a component of cost of goods sold and other income (expense), respectively.
Foreign currency forward contracts are used only to meet the Company’s objectives of minimizing variability in the Company’s operating results arising from foreign exchange rate movements. The Company does not enter into foreign currency forward contracts for speculative purposes. The Company utilizes counterparties for its derivative instruments that it believes are credit-worthy at the time the transactions are entered into and the Company closely monitors the credit ratings of these counterparties.
The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company's derivative instruments as well as the location of the asset and/or liability on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

The Company's derivative instruments are subject to a master netting agreement with each respective counterparty bank and are therefore net settled at their maturity date. Although the Company has the legal right of offset under the master netting agreements, the Company has elected not to present these contracts on a net settlement amount basis, and therefore present these contracts on a gross basis on the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
Hedges of Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company uses foreign currency derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments, including currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps, to help mitigate the Company's foreign currency exposure on intercompany sales of inventory to its foreign subsidiaries to mitigate the exposure. These contracts generally mature within 12 to 15 months from their inception. At June 30, 2019, the notional amounts of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedge instruments were approximately $28,726,000. At December 31, 2018, the Company had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. The reporting of gains and losses on these cash flow hedging instruments depends on whether the gains or losses are effective at offsetting changes in the cash flows of the underlying hedged items. The Company uses the critical terms method to measure the effectiveness of the foreign currency forward contracts and evaluates the effectiveness on a quarterly basis. The effective portion of the gains and losses on the hedging instruments are recorded in other comprehensive income until recognized in earnings during the period that the hedged transactions take place. Any ineffective portion of the gains and losses from the hedging instruments is recognized in earnings immediately. The Company would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively (i) if it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged item, (ii) when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, (iii) if it becomes probable that the forecasted transaction being hedged by the derivative will not occur, (iv) if a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment, or (v) if it is determined that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate. The Company estimates the fair value of its foreign currency forward contracts based on pricing models using current market rates. These contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 15).
As of June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net gain of $573,000 in other comprehensive income related to its foreign currency hedging activities. Of this amount, net gains of $109,000 and net losses of $202,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, were relieved from other comprehensive income and recognized in cost of goods sold for the underlying intercompany sales that were recognized, and net gains of $242,000 and $565,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, were relieved from other comprehensive income related to the amortization of forward points. The Company recognized net losses of $155,000 and $200,000 in cost of goods sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.
32

Table of Contents
There were no ineffective hedge gains or losses recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Based on the current valuation, the Company expects to reclassify net gains of $667,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income into net earnings during the next 12 months.
Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate hedges as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate hedges designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. During 2019, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Company’s variable rate $480,000,000 term loan.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest income (expense) in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income (expense) as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate debt. Based on the current valuation, the Company expects to reclassify net interest expense of $278,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months.
As of June 30, 2019, the notional amounts of the outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk were $199,355,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a net gain of $1,164,000 in other comprehensive income (loss) related to its cross currency swap activities, and net losses of $7,897,000 related to its interest rate hedging activities. Of this amount, net losses of $1,497,000 and net gains of $2,207,000 were relieved from other comprehensive income and recognized in other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. There were no ineffective hedge gains or losses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as qualifying cash flow hedging instruments to mitigate certain balance sheet exposures (payables and receivables denominated in foreign currencies), as well as gains and losses resulting from the translation of the operating results of the Company’s international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. These contracts generally mature within 12 months from their inception. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the notional amounts of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts used to mitigate the exposures discussed above were approximately $138,000,000 and $459,600,000, respectively. The Company estimates the fair values of foreign currency forward contracts based on pricing models using current market rates, and records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of operations. The foreign currency contracts are classified under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (see Note 15).
The following table summarizes the location of net gains and losses in the consolidated condensed statements of operations that were recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in addition to the derivative contract type (in thousands):

growth in its soft goods business. The Company therefore reassessed its operating segments during the first quarter of 2019 and evaluated its global business platform, including its management structure, operations, supply chain and distribution, and changed the composition of its operating and reportable segments on the basis of golf equipment and soft goods products. As a result, and based on the Company's assessment, as of January 1, 2019, the Company has two reportable operating segments, namely the Golf Equipment operating segment and the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment. The Company's Golf Equipment reportable segment consists of Callaway Golf branded woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, Odyssey putters, including Toulon Design putters by Odyssey, packaged sets, Callaway Golf and Strata branded golf balls and sales of pre-owned golf clubs. The Apparel, Gear and Other reportable segment consists of Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO branded apparel, gear and accessories, and Callaway branded golf apparel and footwear, golf bags, golf gloves, travel gear, headwear and other golf-related accessories, and royalties from licensing of the Company’s trademarks and service marks for various soft goods products. Comparative periods have been reclassified to reflect these changes. There are no significant intersegment transactions.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report. See also “Important Notice to Investors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 2 of this report.
Discussion of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the financial results contained in this report, which have been prepared and presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the Company has also included supplemental information concerning the Company’s financial results on a non-GAAP basis. In addition, non-GAAP information includes certain of the Company’s financial results on a constant currency basis. This constant currency information estimates what the Company’s financial results would have been without changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This information is calculated by taking the current period local currency results and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable prior period. In addition, this non-GAAP information includes certain of the Company's financial results without transaction costs and transition costs, and purchase accounting amortization expenses associated with the Jack Wolfskin acquisition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and amortization costs of intangible assets associated with the Jack Wolfskin, OGIO and TravisMathew acquisitions for three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
The Company has included in this report information to reconcile this non-GAAP information to the most directly comparable GAAP information. The non-GAAP information presented in this report should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. Management uses such non-GAAP information for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period over period comparisons of the underlying performance of its business and in forecasting the Company’s business going forward. Management believes that the presentation of such non-GAAP information, when considered in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP information, provides additional useful comparative information for investors in their assessment of the underlying performance of the Company’s business.
Results of Operations
Overview of Business and Seasonality
Products
The Company designs, manufactures and sells a full line of high quality golf equipment, including golf clubs and golf balls. The Company designs its golf products to be technologically advanced and in this regard invests a considerable amount in research and development each year. The Company designs its golf products for golfers of all skill levels, both amateur and professional. In addition, the Company designs and develops a full line of high quality golf soft goods, including golf bags, apparel, footwear and other golf accessories. In 2017, the Company expanded its soft goods lines with the acquisitions of OGIO and TravisMathew. Under the OGIO brand, the Company offers a full line of premium personal storage gear for sport and personal use, a line of performance outerwear for men, and golf and apparel accessories. TravisMathew offers a full line of premium golf and lifestyle apparel as well as footwear and accessories. In January 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of JW Stargazer Holding GmbH, the owner of the international, premium outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment brand, Jack Wolfskin. The Company expects this acquisition to further enhance the Company's lifestyle category and provide a platform for future growth in the active outdoor and urban outdoor categories. The Company's soft goods under the Callaway, OGIO, TravisMathew and Jack Wolfskin brands are designed and developed internally.
Operating Segments
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had three operating and reportable segments, namely Golf Clubs, Golf Balls and Gear, Accessories and Other. Due to the Company's acquisition of the outdoor apparel company Jack Wolfskin in January 2019, combined with the continuous growth of TravisMathew and OGIO branded soft goods, the Company anticipates significant future growth in its soft goods business. The Company therefore reassessed its operating segments during the first quarter of 2019 and evaluated its global business platform, including its management structure, operations, supply chain and distribution, and changed the composition of its operating and reportable segments on the basis of golf equipment and soft goods products. As a result, and based on the Company's assessment, as of January 1, 2019, the Company began including sales from its golf clubs and golf balls business in the Golf Equipment reportable operating segment, consisting of Callaway Golf branded woods, hybrids, irons, wedges,
37

Table of Contents
Odyssey putters, including Toulon Design putters by Odyssey, packaged sets, Callaway Golf and Strata branded golf balls and sales of pre-owned golf clubs. Sales of Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO branded apparel, gear and accessories, and Callaway branded golf apparel and footwear, golf bags, golf gloves, travel gear, headwear and other golf-related accessories, and royalties from licensing of the Company’s trademarks and service marks for various soft goods products are included in the Apparel, Gear and Other reportable operating segment. Comparative periods have been reclassified to reflect these changes. For further information about the Company's segments, see Note 18 “Segment Information” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Cost of Sales
The Company’s cost of sales is comprised primarily of material and component costs, distribution and warehousing costs, and overhead. Historically, over 85% of the Company's manufacturing costs, primarily material and component costs, are variable in nature and fluctuate with sales volumes. With respect to the Company's Golf Equipment operating segment, variable costs as a percentage of cost of sales range between 85% to 95% for golf club products and 75% to 85% for golf ball products. Variable costs for soft goods in the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment are generally greater than 90% as fewer fixed costs are used in the manufacturing of soft goods products. Generally, the relative significance of the components of cost of sales does not vary materially from these percentages from period to period. See "Operating Segments Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018—Segment Profitability" below for further discussion of gross margins.
Seasonality
Golf Equipment
In most of the regions where the Company conducts business, the game of golf is played primarily on a seasonal basis. Weather conditions generally restrict golf from being played year-round, except in a few markets, with many of the Company’s on-course customers closing for the cold weather months. The Company’s golf club and golf ball businesses are therefore subject to seasonal fluctuations. In general, during the first quarter, the Company begins selling its golf club and golf ball products into the golf retail channel for the new golf season. This initial sell-in generally continues into the second quarter. Second-quarter sales are significantly affected by the amount of reorder business of the products sold during the first quarter. Third-quarter sales are generally dependent on reorder business but can also include smaller new product launches, typically resulting in lower sales than the second quarter as many retailers begin decreasing their inventory levels in anticipation of the end of the golf season. Fourth-quarter sales are generally less than the other quarters due to the end of the golf season in many of the Company’s key regions. However, third-quarter sales can be affected by a mid-year product launch, and fourth-quarter sales can be affected from time to time by the early launch of product introductions related to the new golf season of the subsequent year. This seasonality, and therefore quarter-to-quarter fluctuations, can be affected by many factors, including the timing of new product introductions as well as weather conditions. In general, because of this seasonality, a majority of the Company’s sales from its Golf Equipment operating segment and most, if not all, of its profitability from this segment generally occurs during the first half of the year.
Apparel, Gear and Other
Sales of the Company's golf gear and accessories generally follow the same seasonality as golf clubs and golf balls, and are therefore generally higher during the first half of the year when the game of golf is mostly played. Sales of lifestyle and premium outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment are impacted by weather and therefore the seasonality of these products vary by region.
Foreign Currency
A majority of the Company’s business is conducted outside of the United States in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result, changes in foreign currency rates can have a significant effect on the Company’s financial results. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the effects of changes in foreign currency rates. While these foreign currency forward contracts can mitigate the effects of changes in foreign currency rates, they do not eliminate those effects, which can be significant. These effects include (i) the translation of results denominated in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes, (ii) the mark-to-market adjustments of certain intercompany balance sheet accounts denominated in foreign currencies and (iii) the mark-to-market adjustments of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts. In general, the Company’s overall financial results are affected positively by a weaker U.S. dollar and are affected negatively by a stronger U.S. dollar as compared to the foreign currencies in which the Company conducts its business.

Executive Summary
The Company's net sales increased 20.4% to $962.9 million in the first half of 2019 compared to $799.5 in the comparable period in 2018. These results were achieved despite the negative impact of changes in foreign currency rates of $24.2 million and reflect an increase in both the Company’s Apparel, Gear and Accessories Operating Segment and Golf Equipment Operating Segment. The increases in sales of Apparel, Gear and Accessories was primarily driven by the Jack Wolfskin business, which contributed incremental sales of $141.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company’s Apparel, Gear and Accessories sales were also favorably impacted by the growing success of the Company's TravisMathew apparel business, which grew double-digits during the period. The Company’s Golf Equipment sales increased $5.0 million in the first half of 2019 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the continued strength of the Company’s 2019 golf equipment product line, despite that in 2018, product launches were more heavily weighted in the first half of the year.
The Company’s gross margin in the first half of 2019 decreased 300 basis points to 46.2% compared to the first half of 2018. The Company's gross margin for the first half of 2019 includes $10.7 million (or 110 margin basis points) of amortization charges related to a fair value adjustment to Jack Wolfskin's inventory, recorded as part of the Company's purchase price allocation. The remaining decline resulted from a shift in current year product mix to sales of more premium products, which generally have lower margins due to more advanced technology, combined with the negative impact of unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates. These declines were partially offset by sales growth from the Company's TravisMathew business, which is accretive to gross margin.
Operating expenses increased $97.5 million to $330.4 million in the first half of 2019 compared to the respective period in 2018. This increase was driven primarily by $76.6 million of incremental operating expenses related to the new Jack Wolfskin business, combined with increased investments in the business to sustain the Company's growth, including investments in marketing and tour. Operating expenses in the first half of 2019 also include non-recurring expenses of $8.7 million related to the Jack Wolfskin acquisition.
Interest expense increased $17.0 million to $20.6 million in the first half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2018, primarily due to the recognition of incremental interest expense from the Company's new $480.0 million Term Loan Facility used to fund the Jack Wolfskin acquisition in January 2019.
The provision for income taxes decreased to $16.8 million in the first half of 2019 compared to $34.5 million the first half of 2018. As a percent of pre-tax income, the Company's effective income tax rate declined to 17.8% in the first half of 2019 compared to 21.8% in 2018. This decline was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income combined with a shift in the mix of foreign earnings relative to the prior year.
Diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.47 to $0.81 in the first half of 2019 compared to $1.28 in the same period in 2018. The Company's earnings for the first half of 2019 include $23.3 million of non-recurring costs related to the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, and after-tax purchase accounting amortization expenses related to the Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO acquisitions. Additionally, the Company's first half earnings in 2019 were negatively impacted by the seasonal nature of the Jack Wolfskin business, which is dilutive to earnings during the first half of the year, combined with increased investments in the business to sustain the Company's growth, and an increase in interest expense related to the new term loan entered into in January 2019 to fund the purchase of Jack Wolfskin. The Company anticipates an increase in sales and earnings during the back half of the year relative to 2018 due to incremental Jack Wolfskin sales driven by the sell-in of the fall/winter product line as well as an increase in new Golf Equipment product launches compared to the second half of 2018. In general, Jack Wolfskin generates the majority of it's annual profitability in the back half of the year.
Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Net sales for the second quarter of 2019 increased by $50.4 million (12.7%) to $446.7 million compared to $396.3 million in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to the Company's acquisition of the outdoor apparel company, Jack Wolfskin, which added incremental sales of $48.4 million in the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment. Excluding this acquisition, sales for this segment increased $8.4 million (8.6%) in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the growing success of the TravisMathew apparel business. Net sales in the Golf Equipment operating segment declined $6.4 million (2.1%) due to a change in product launch cadence in 2019 compared to 2018. In 2018, the Company's new golf equipment launches were more heavily weighted towards the first half of the year, whereas in 2019, the launches are spread more throughout the year. In addition, net sales in the second quarter of 2019 were negatively impacted by $9.1 million due to fluctuations in foreign currency rates relative to the same period in the prior year.

(1) In connection with the Company's assessment of its reportable operating segments the Company also reassessed its reportable regions. As a result, as of January 1, 2019, the Company began to report regional sales previously reported in rest of Asia and other foreign countries in rest of world. Accordingly, the prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation of regional sales.
Net sales in the United States increased $14.0 million (6.0%) to $247.4 million during the second quarter of 2019 compared to $233.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. The Company’s sales in regions outside of the United States increased $36.4 million (22.3%) to $199.3 million during the second quarter of 2019 compared to $162.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. Foreign currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $9.1 million on net sales during the second quarter of 2019 relative to the same period in the prior year. The increase in net sales by region includes the following:

• | Net sales in Europe increased primarily due to incremental apparel sales resulting from the Jack Wolfskin acquisition completed in January 2019, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations on sales.

• | In the United States, the increase was primarily due to an increase in apparel sales as a result of the continued growth of the TravisMathew business.

• | The increase in rest of world was primarily driven by an increase in apparel sales in China resulting from the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations on sales.

• | The decrease in Japan was primarily due to a shift in product launch timing due to the earlier launch of region-specific woods and irons models in the first half of 2018.

Gross profit increased $14.1 million (7.3%) to $206.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $192.7 million in the second quarter of 2018. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross margin”) declined by 230 basis points to 46.3% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 48.6% in the second quarter of 2018.The Company's gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2019 includes $5.3 million or 120 margin basis points of amortization charges related to a fair value adjustment to Jack Wolfskin's inventory, recorded as part of the Company's purchase price allocation. The remaining 110 basis point decrease was primarily due to a shift in current year product mix to sales of more premium products, which generally have lower margins due

to more advanced technology, combined with the negative impact of unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates. These declines were partially offset by sales growth from the Company's TravisMathew business in addition to the Jack Wolfskin business, both of which are accretive to gross margin in the second quarter of 2019. For further discussion of gross margin, see "Results of Operations—Overview of Business and Seasonality—Cost of Sales" above and "Operating Segments Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018—Segment Profitability" below.
Selling expenses increased by $29.8 million to $113.1 million (25.3% of net sales) in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $83.3 million (21.0% of net sales) in the second quarter of 2018. This increase reflects $27.6 million of incremental costs resulting from the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business, combined with an increase in variable expenses due to higher net sales period over period, as well as increases of $0.8 million in employee costs and $0.7 in professional fees.
General and administrative expenses increased by $11.0 million to $35.4 million (7.9% of net sales) in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $24.4 million (6.2% of net sales) in the second quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily due to $7.7 million of incremental costs resulting from the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business, combined with increases of $1.6 million in transition costs incurred in the second quarter of 2019 in connection with the Jack Wolfskin acquisition.
Research and development expenses increased by $2.4 million to $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $10.7 million the second quarter of 2018, and decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales to 2.9% from 2.7%. This increase was primarily due to $2.5 million of incremental costs in the second quarter of 2019 resulting from the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business.
Net interest expense increased by $8.7 million to $10.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to an increase in interest related to the Company's long-term debt, including $8.4 million related to the Term Loan Facility the Company entered into in connection with the Jack Wolfskin acquisition (see Note 5 “Financing Arrangements” and Note 4 "Business Combinations" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q).
Other income decreased by $4.3 million to $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $5.5 million in the second quarter of 2018, primarily due to a decrease in net foreign currency gains from non-designated foreign currency hedging contracts.
The Company’s provision for income taxes decreased by $10.0 million to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $17.2 million in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to a decline in pre-tax income. As a percentage of pre-tax income, the Company’s income tax rate declined to 20.0% compared to 22.1% in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to a shift in the mix of foreign earnings relative to the prior year. For further discussion see Note 12 “Income Taxes” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Net income for the second quarter of 2019 decreased $32.0 million to $28.9 million compared to $60.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. Diluted earnings per share decreased $0.33 to $0.30 in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $0.63 in the second quarter of 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding after-tax acquisition related costs related to Jack Wolfskin, and excluding after-tax purchase accounting amortization expenses related to the Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO acquisitions, the Company's net income and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2019 would have been $35.1 million and $0.37 per share, respectively, compared to $61.1 million and $0.63 per share for the comparative period in 2018. The decreased non-GAAP earnings in 2019 is primarily due to the seasonal nature of the Jack Wolfskin business, which is dilutive to earnings during the second quarter of the year, combined with the $8.4 million increase in interest expense related to the new term loan entered into in January 2019 to fund the purchase of Jack Wolfskin.
The table below presents a reconciliation of the Company's as-reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 to the Company's non-GAAP results reported above for the same periods (in millions, except per share information).

Operating Segments Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Golf Equipment
Golf Equipment sales decreased $6.4 million to $292.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $298.7 million in the second quarter of 2018 due to a $9.1 million (3.9%) decrease in golf club sales offset by a $2.7 million (4.1%) increase in golf ball sales.
Net sales information for the Golf Equipment segment by product category is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Growth/(Decline)
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | Dollars |  | Percent |
Net sales: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Golf Clubs | $ | 223.7 |  |  | $ | 232.8 |  |  | $ | (9.1 | ) |  | (3.9 | )%
Golf Balls | 68.6 |  |  | 65.9 |  |  | 2.7 |  |  | 4.1 | %
| $ | 292.3 |  |  | $ | 298.7 |  |  | $ | (6.4 | ) |  | (2.1 | )%

The $9.1 million (3.9%) decrease in net sales of golf clubs to $223.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to $232.8 million in the comparable period in 2018, was primarily due to a decrease in sales of woods partially offset by an increase in sales of putters. The decrease in woods was primarily due to the earlier launch timing of region specific woods in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in sales of putters was primarily due to the launch of the Company's Stroke Lab putter in the first quarter of 2019 with no comparable models launched in the first half of 2018.
Net sales of golf balls increased $2.7 million (4.1%) to 68.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to 65.9 million in the comparable period in 2018 primarily due to an increase in sales volume driven by the successful launch of the new ERC Triple Track and Supersoft golf balls in the first quarter of 2019 combined with the continued success of the 2018 Truvis and Chrome Soft golf balls, which resulted in an overall increase in market share period over period.
Apparel, Gear and Other

| $ | 154.4 |  |  | $ | 97.6 |  |  | $ | 56.8 |  |  | 58.2 | %

Net sales of apparel increased $42.4 million (137.7%) to $73.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due to incremental sales of outdoor apparel as a result of the Jack Wolfskin acquisition in January 2019, combined with the success of the TravisMathew apparel business, which grew double-digits in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018. This increase resulted from brand momentum combined with the opening of three new retail stores in the first half of 2019 and six new retail stores in 2018.
Net sales of gear, accessories and other increased $14.4 million (21.6%) to $81.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $66.8 million compared to the same period of the prior year, primarily due incremental sales of Jack Wolfskin gear and accessories combined with an increase in sales of golf gloves.

Segment Profitability
Profitability by operating segment is summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Decline
| 2019 |  | 2018 |  | Dollars |  | Percent
Income before income taxes: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Golf Equipment | $ | 55.7 |  |  | $ | 63.9 |  |  | $ | (8.2 | ) |  | (12.8 | )%
Apparel, Gear and Other | 11.3 |  |  | 24.1 |  |  | (12.8 | ) |  | (53.1 | )%
Reconciling items(1) | (30.9 | ) |  | (9.8 | ) |  | (21.1 | ) |  | 215.3 | %
| $ | 36.1 |  |  | $ | 78.2 |  |  | $ | (42.1 | ) |  | (53.8 | )%

(1) | Reconciling items represent corporate general and administrative expenses and other income (expense) not included by management in determining segment profitability. The $21.1 million increase in reconciling items in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to incremental corporate general and administrative expenses associated with the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business in January 2019, as well as non-recurring costs in connection with the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, and the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO. Reconciling items also include incremental interest expense of $8.4 million due to the new Term Loan Facility to fund the purchase of Jack Wolfskin.

Pre-tax income from the Golf Equipment operating segment decreased $8.2 million (12.8)% to $55.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $63.9 million in the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was primarily due to a $9.3 million decrease in gross profit resulting from a $6.4 million decrease in net sales as discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales ("gross margin") decreased 220 basis points period over period primarily due to a shift in product mix to sales of premium products, which generally have lower margins due to more advanced technology incorporated into these products, combined with the negative impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The decrease in gross margin was offset by a decrease in operating expenses primarily due to a decrease in marketing expenses as a result of the shift in timing of product launches.
Pre-tax income in the Company's Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment decreased $12.8 million (53.1)% to $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $24.1 million in the second quarter of 2018. This decrease was due to a $41.7 million increase in operating expenses offset by a $28.8 million increase in gross profit both primarily due to the addition of the new Jack Wolfskin business acquired in January 2019. Given the seasonal nature of this business as many of their products are geared toward the fall/winter season, Jack Wolfskin generally records operating losses in the second quarter. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gross profit and operating income from the growing success of the TravisMathew apparel business.
Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $163.4 million (20.4%) to $962.9 million compared to $799.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the Company's acquisition of the outdoor apparel company, Jack Wolfskin, which added incremental sales of $141.1 million in the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment. Excluding this acquisition, sales for this segment increased $17.4 million (9.2%) in the first half of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the growing success of the TravisMathew apparel business. Net sales in the Golf Equipment operating segment increased $5.0 million (0.8%) due to the launch of the Stroke Lab premium putters in 2019 with no comparable launch in 2018, in addition to an overall increase in golf ball market share period over period. Net sales in the first half of 2019 were impacted by unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates of $24.2 million relative to the same period in 2018.

(1) In connection with the Company's assessment of its reportable operating segments the Company also reassessed its reportable regions. As a result, starting on January 1, 2019, the Company began to report regional sales previously reported in rest of Asia and other foreign countries in rest of world. Accordingly, the prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation of regional sales.
Net sales in the United States increased $27.9 million (6.0%) to $496.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net sales in regions outside of the United States increased $135.5 million (40.9%) to $466.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Fluctuations in foreign currencies had an unfavorable impact on international net sales of $24.2 million in the first half of 2019 relative to the same period in the prior year. The increase in net sales by region includes the following:

• | In the United States, the increase was primarily due to an increase in apparel sales due to the continued growth of the TravisMathew business combined with an increase in sales of golf equipment.

• | In Europe, the increase was primarily due to incremental apparel sales resulting from the Jack Wolfskin acquisition completed in January 2019, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations on sales.

• | The increase in rest of world was primarily driven by incremental apparel sales in China resulting from the Jack Wolfskin acquisition completed in January 2019, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency fluctuations on sales.

Gross profit increased $52.1 million (13.2%) to $445.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $393.2 million in the same period of 2018 due to the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business in 2019. Gross margin decreased 300 basis points to 46.2% in the first half of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. This decrease was primarily due to amortization charges of $10.7 million related to a fair value adjustment to Jack Wolfskin's inventory recorded as part of the Company's purchase price allocation, which resulted in a negative impact to gross margin of 110 basis points. The remaining 190 decrease in margin basis points was due to a shift in current year product mix to sales of more premium products, which generally have lower margins due to more advanced technology, combined with the negative impact of unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates. These decreases were partially offset by sales growth from the Company's TravisMathew business, which is accretive to gross margin.

For further discussion of gross margin, see above "Results of Operations—Overview of Business and Seasonality—Cost of Sales" and see below "Operating Segments Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018—Segment Profitability."
Selling expenses increased by $66.2 million to $232.4 million (24.1% of net sales) during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $166.2 million (20.8% of net sales) in the comparable period of 2018. This increase reflects $56.1 million of incremental costs resulting from the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business, combined with an increase in variable expenses due to higher net sales period over period, in addition to increases of $4.7 million in marketing and tour expenses and $3.6 million in employee costs and consulting expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased by $26.1 million to $72.4 million (7.5% of net sales) during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $46.3 million (5.8% of net sales) in the comparable period of 2018. This increase was primarily due to $15.6 million of incremental costs resulting from the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business, combined with increases of $8.7 million in transaction costs related to the Jack Wolfskin acquisition as well as incremental expense from the amortization of intangible assets, $2.4 million in employee costs and $1.1 million in professional fees.
Research and development expenses increased by $5.3 million to $25.6 million (2.7% of net sales) during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $20.3 million (2.5% of net sales) in the comparable period of 2018. This increase was primarily due to $4.9 million of incremental costs resulting from the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business.
Interest expense increased $17.0 million to $20.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $3.6 million in the comparable period of 2018, primarily due to an increase in interest paid on the Company's long-term debt, including $16.5 million related to the Term Loan Facility the Company entered into in connection with the Jack Wolfskin acquisition (see Note 5 “Financing Arrangements” and Note 4 "Business Combinations" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q).
Other income/expense, net decreased to other expense of $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to other income of $1.0 million in the comparable period of 2018. This $1.8 million decrease was primarily due to an increase in net foreign currency losses from non-designated foreign currency hedging contracts.
The Company’s provision for income taxes decreased by $17.7 million to $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $34.5 million in the comparable period of 2018, primarily due to the decline in pre-tax income. As a percent of pre-tax income, the Company's effective tax rate in the first six months of 2019 declined to 17.8% compared to 21.8% in the comparable period of 2018 primarily due to a shift in the mix of foreign earnings relative to the prior year. For further discussion see Note 12 “Income Taxes” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased by $46.1 million to $77.6 million compared to $123.7 million in the comparable period of 2018. Diluted earnings per share decreased by $0.47 to $0.81 in the first six months of 2019 compared to $1.28 in the same period in 2018. On a non-GAAP basis, excluding after-tax acquisition related costs as well as certain hedging losses associated with the purchase price of Jack Wolfskin, and excluding after-tax purchase accounting amortization expenses related to the Jack Wolfskin, TravisMathew and OGIO acquisitions, the Company's net income and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2019 would have been $95.6 million and $0.99 per share, respectively, compared to $124.1 million and $1.28 per share for the comparative period in 2018. The decreased non-GAAP earnings in 2019 is primarily due to the seasonal nature of the Jack Wolfskin business, which is dilutive to earnings in the first six months of 2019, a shift in product mix to more premium products in the first half of 2019, which generally have lower margins due to added technology, a $16.5 million increase in interest expense related to the new term loan entered into in January 2019 to fund the purchase of Jack Wolfskin, as well as foreign currency losses recognized in the first six months of 2019 from non-designated hedging contracts. These decreases were partially offset by growth in the TravisMathew business, in addition to a lower tax rate.

Net sales of golf clubs decreased $4.6 million (0.9%) to $485.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, which had a negative impact on net sales of golf clubs of $8.8 million, combined with the earlier timing of regions specific woods products in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in 2019. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net sales of putters due to the current year launch of the Stroke Lab putter in the first quarter of 2019 with no comparable models launched in the first half of 2018, combined with the continued success of the Odyssey EXO putters in 2019, in addition to the successful launch of the Apex and Big Bertha premium lines of irons in the first half of 2019, combined with the continued success of the prior year Rogue line of irons.
Net sales of golf balls increased $9.6 million (7.9%) to $130.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year due to the successful launch of the new ERC Triple Track and Supersoft golf balls in the first half of 2019, combined with the continued success of the 2018 Truvis and Chrome Soft golf balls, which resulted in an overall increase in market share period over period.

Pre-tax income from the Golf Equipment operating segment decreased to $125.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $141.5 million in the comparable period in the prior year primarily due to a $11.0 million decrease in gross profit and a 220 basis point decrease in gross margin, in addition to a $4.8 million increase in operating expenses. The decrease in gross margin was due to a shift in product mix to sales of premium products, which generally have lower margins due to the higher cost of more advanced technology, combined with the negative impact of unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an increase in marketing expenses.
Pre-tax income from the Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment decreased to $34.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $43.5 million for the comparable period in the prior year. This decrease was due to a $83.3 million increase in operating expenses offset by a $73.8 million increase in gross profit primarily due to the addition of the Jack Wolfskin business in January 2019, combined with the negative impact of unfavorable changes in foreign currency rates. Given the seasonal nature

of this business as many of their products are geared toward the fall/winter season, Jack Wolfskin generally records operating losses in the second quarter. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gross profit and operating income from the growing success of the TravisMathew apparel business.
Financial Condition
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased $17.5 million to $81.5 million at June 30, 2019 from $64.0 million at December 31, 2018. The increase in cash in the first half of 2019 reflects the combined cash positions of the Company and Jack Wolfskin, which the Company purchased in January 2019 for $463.1 million (net of acquired cash). In order to fund the acquisition, including acquisition costs, the Company used proceeds from its credit facilities and entered into a Term Loan Facility for $480.0 million. Cash used in operating activities decreased to $50.8 million in the first half of 2019 compared to cash generated from operating activities of $5.1 million in the first half of 2018 primarily due to a decline in net income period over period. In addition to the purchase of Jack Wolfskin, during the first half of 2019 the Company used its cash and cash equivalents combined with borrowings from its credit facilities to fund its operations and capital expenditures of $23.4 million primarily for its golf ball operations, as well as to repurchase shares of its common stock for $27.4 million. Management expects to fund the Company’s future operations from current cash balances and cash provided by its operating activities combined with borrowings under its current and future credit facilities, as deemed necessary. See Note 5 "Financing Arrangements" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for further information on the Company's credit facilities and the Term Loan Facility.
The Company’s accounts receivable balance fluctuates throughout the year as a result of the general seasonality of the Company’s business. With respect to the Company’s Golf Equipment business, the accounts receivable balance will generally be at its highest during the first and second quarters due to the seasonal peak in the golf season, and it will generally decline significantly during the third and fourth quarters as a result of an increase in cash collections and lower sales. Historically, the Company's account receivable with respect to its Gear, Accessories and Other business generally aligned with the seasonality of the golf season. As a result of the Jack Wolfskin acquisition in January 2019, the Company anticipates its account receivable relating to this business to be higher during the second half of the year due to the seasonal nature of the business, as many of their products are geared toward the fall/winter season. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s net accounts receivable increased to $263.7 million from $71.4 million as of December 31, 2018. This increase reflects the general seasonality of the Company's golf equipment business combined with the addition of $21.1 million in net accounts receivable related to Jack Wolfskin. The Company’s net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2019 increased by $21.6 million compared to the Company’s net accounts receivable as of June 30, 2018 primarily due to an increase of $50.4 million (12.7%) in net sales period over period largely due to the acquisition of Jack Wolfskin in January 2019.
The Company’s inventory balance fluctuates throughout the year as a result of the general seasonality of the Company’s business and is also affected by the timing of new product launches. With respect to the Company's Golf Equipment business, the buildup of inventory levels generally begins during the fourth quarter and continues heavily into the first quarter as well as into the beginning of the second quarter in order to meet demand during the height of the golf season. Inventory levels are also impacted by the timing of new product launches as well as the success of new products. Historically, inventory levels with respect to the Company's Apparel, Gear and Other business generally aligned with the seasonality of the golf season. As a result of the Jack Wolfskin acquisition in January 2019, the Company anticipates the buildup of outdoor apparel inventory to start in the second quarter and continue into the third and fourth quarters due to the seasonal nature of this business, as many of their products are geared toward the fall/winter season. The Company’s inventory increased to $360.5 million as of June 30, 2019 compared to $338.1 million as of December 31, 2018. This increase primarily reflects the addition of inventory from the Jack Wolfskin acquisition. The Company’s inventory as of June 30, 2019 increased by $123.4 million compared to the Company's inventory as of June 30, 2018 primarily due to the addition of inventory as a result of the Jack Wolfskin acquisition combined with an increase in golf equipment inventory to support the growth in core business year-over-year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s principal sources of liquidity consist of its existing cash balances, funds expected to be generated from operations and its credit facilities. Based upon the Company’s current cash balances, its estimates of funds expected to be generated from operations in 2019, and current and projected availability under its current or future credit facilities, the Company believes that it will be able to finance current and planned operating requirements, capital expenditures, debt repayments, contractual obligations, and commercial commitments for at least the next 12 months.

Information about the Company's credit facilities and long-term borrowings is presented in Note 5 “Financing Arrangements” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
As of June 30, 2019, approximately 94% of the Company’s total cash was held in regions outside of the United States. Due to changes enacted by the Tax Act in December 2017, incremental U.S. federal income tax is no longer a consideration if the Company were to repatriate cash to the United States outside of settling intercompany balances. However, if the Company were to repatriate such cash, it may need to pay incremental foreign withholding taxes. In 2018, the Company repatriated cash from its Canadian subsidiary and remitted the Canadian withholding tax. As such, the Company no longer considers the future earnings of its Canadian subsidiary to be indefinitely reinvested. At this time the Company does not intend to repatriate additional funds to the United States to satisfy domestic liquidity needs arising in the ordinary course of business, including liquidity needs associated with its domestic debt service requirements. Therefore, except for the future earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiary in Canada, the Company considers the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries to be permanently reinvested and, accordingly, no incremental withholding taxes have been provided thereon. With respect to the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, the Company is still assessing its permanent reinvestment assertion as of June 30, 2019.
Other Significant Cash and Contractual Obligations
The table set forth below summarizes certain significant cash obligations as of June 30, 2019 that could affect the Company’s future liquidity.

(1) | In January 2019, to fund the purchase price of the Jack Wolfskin acquisition, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement which provides for a Term Loan B facility in an aggregate principal of $480.0 million, which was issued less $9.6 million in original issue discount and other transaction fees. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $462.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan Facility, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $16.8 million. For further discussion, see Note 5 "Financing Arrangements" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

(2) | In December 2017, the Company entered into a long-term financing agreement (the "Equipment Note") secured by certain equipment at the Company's golf ball manufacturing facility. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $8.5 million outstanding under the Equipment Note. For further discussion, see Note 5 "Financing Arrangements" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

(3) | Amounts represent future minimum payments under financing leases. At June 30, 2019, finance lease liabilities of $1.5 million were reordered in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. For further discussion, see Note 2 "Leases" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

(4) | The Company leases certain warehouse, distribution and office facilities, vehicles and office equipment under operating leases. The amounts presented in this line item represent commitments for minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating

leases. At June 30, 2019, short-term and long-term operating lease liabilities of $27.3 million and $143.7 million, respectively, were recorded in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. For further discussion, see Note 2 "Leases" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

(5) | During the normal course of its business, the Company enters into agreements to purchase goods and services, including purchase commitments for production materials, endorsement agreements with professional golfers and other endorsers, employment and consulting agreements, and intellectual property licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company is required to pay royalty fees. It is not possible to determine the amounts the Company will ultimately be required to pay under these agreements as they are subject to many variables including performance-based bonuses, severance arrangements, the Company’s sales levels, and reductions in payment obligations if designated minimum performance criteria are not achieved. The amounts listed approximate minimum purchase obligations, base compensation, and guaranteed minimum royalty payments the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. The actual amounts paid under some of these agreements may be higher or lower than the amounts included. In the aggregate, the actual amount paid under these obligations is likely to be higher than the amounts listed as a result of the variable nature of these obligations. In addition, the Company also enters into unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors and suppliers of goods and services in the normal course of operations through purchase orders or other documentation or that are undocumented except for an invoice. Such unconditional purchase obligations are generally outstanding for periods less than a year and are settled by cash payments upon delivery of goods and services and are not reflected in this line item.

(6) | Amount represents the current and non-current portions of uncertain income tax positions as recorded on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. Amounts exclude uncertain income tax positions that the Company would be able to offset against deferred taxes. For further discussion, see Note 12 “Income Taxes” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

During its normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include (i) intellectual property indemnities to the Company’s customers and licensees in connection with the use, sale and/or license of Company products or trademarks, (ii) indemnities to various lessors in connection with facility leases for certain claims arising from such facilities or leases, (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to the goods or services provided to the Company or based on the negligence or willful misconduct of the Company, and (iv) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. In addition, the Company has made contractual commitments to each of its officers and certain other employees providing for severance payments upon the termination of employment. The Company has also issued guarantees in the form of a standby letter of credit in the amount of $1.2 million primarily as security for contingent liabilities under certain workers’ compensation insurance policies.
The duration of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees varies, and in certain cases may be indefinite. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation on the maximum amount of future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, costs incurred to settle claims related to indemnities have not been material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, the Company believes the likelihood is remote that payments under the commitments and guarantees described above will have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. The fair value of indemnities, commitments and guarantees that the Company issued during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was not material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the contractual obligations listed above, the Company’s liquidity could also be adversely affected by an unfavorable outcome with respect to claims and litigation that the Company is subject to from time to time (see Note 13 “Commitments & Contingencies” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 and “Legal Proceedings” in Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q).
Capital Expenditures
The Company does not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company expects to have capital expenditures in the range of approximately $55.0 million to $60.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no material off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4)(ii).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, except for the Company's adoption of the Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," and ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities," both of which became effective as of January 1, 2019. For further discussion on the adoption of these new accounting standards please see Note 1 "Basis of Presentation" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Transactions involving these financial instruments are with creditworthy banks, including one of the banks that is party to the Company’s ABL Facility (see Note 5 "Financing Arrangements" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). The use of these instruments exposes the Company to market and credit risk which may at times be concentrated with certain counterparties, although counterparty nonperformance is not anticipated.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations
Information about the Company's foreign currency hedging activities is set forth in Note 16 “Derivatives and Hedging,” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
As part of the Company’s risk management procedure, a sensitivity analysis model is used to measure the potential loss in future earnings of market-sensitive instruments resulting from one or more selected hypothetical changes in interest rates or foreign currency values. The sensitivity analysis model quantifies the estimated potential effect of unfavorable movements of 10% in foreign currencies to which the Company was exposed at June 30, 2019 through its foreign currency forward contracts.
The estimated maximum one-day loss from the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts, calculated using the sensitivity analysis model described above, is $3.1 million at June 30, 2019. The Company believes that such a hypothetical loss from its foreign currency forward contracts would be partially offset by increases in the value of the underlying transactions being hedged.
The sensitivity analysis model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in earnings that will be incurred by the Company, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market rates. It also does not represent the maximum possible loss that may occur. Actual future gains and losses will differ from those estimated because of changes or differences in market rates and interrelationships, hedging instruments and hedge percentages, timing and other factors.
Interest Rate Fluctuations
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk from its credit facilities and long-term borrowing commitments. Outstanding borrowings under these credit facilities and long-term borrowing commitments accrue interest as described in Note 5 "Financing Arrangements" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, and in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. The Company's long-term borrowing commitments are subject to interest rate fluctuations, which could be material to the Company's cash flows and results of operations. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company enters into interest rate hedges as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Information about the Company's interest rate hedges is provided in Note 16 "Derivatives and Hedging" to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. In order to determine the impact of unfavorable changes in interest rates on the Company's cash flows and result of operations, the Company performed a sensitivity analysis as part of the its risk management procedures. The sensitivity analysis quantified that the incremental expense incurred by a 10% increase in interest rates would be $0.3 million over the 12-month period ending on June 30, 2019.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2019, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. In January 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Wolfskin. S ee Note 4 “Business Combinations” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q. The Company is in the process of integrating the Jack Wolfskin business and evaluating its internal controls over financial reporting. As a result of these integration activities, certain controls will be evaluated and may be revised. Except as otherwise noted, d uring the quarter ended June 30, 2019, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The information set forth in Note 13 “Commitments & Contingencies,” to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q, is incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Certain Factors Affecting Callaway Golf Company
The Company has included in Part I, Item 1A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company’s business, future performance or financial condition (the “Risk Factors”). There are no material changes from the disclosure provided in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 with respect to the Risk Factors. Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to the Company’s stock.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Stock Purchases
In May 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $50.0 million share repurchase program (the "2018 Repurchase Program") under which the Company was authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market or in private transactions, subject to the Company’s assessment of market conditions and buying opportunities. The Company repurchased $27.7 million of its common stock under this program. The 2018 Repurchase Program remained in effect until it was canceled and replaced by a newly authorized $100.0 million share repurchase program in August 2019 (the "2019 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company is authorized to repurchase shares of its common stock in the open market or in private transactions, subject to the Company's assessment of market conditions and buying opportunities. Accordingly, as of the date of this report, the Company had $100.0 million of purchase authority remaining under the 2019 Repurchase Program. Repurchases under both the 2018 Repurchase Program and 2019 Repurchase Program are made consistent with the terms of the Company's ABL Facility which limits the amount of stock that can be repurchased. The 2019 Repurchase Program will remain in effect until completed or until terminated by the Board of Directors.
The following table summarizes the purchases by the Company during the second quarter of 2019 under the 2018 Repurchase Program for shares the Company withheld to satisfy payroll tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of employee restricted stock unit awards and performance share unit awards. The Company’s repurchases of shares of common stock are recorded at cost and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity.

(1) | Subsequent to June 30, 2019, the Company canceled the remaining $22.3 million authorized under the 2018 Repurchase Program and implemented the new $100.0 million 2019 Repurchase Program as noted above.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Item 5. Other Information
Effective August 6, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted amendments to the existing Bylaws of the Company (as so amended, the “Bylaws”).
The amendments revise the advance notice disclosure requirements contained in the Bylaws to require the stockholder proposing business or nominating directors to provide additional information about the stockholder’s ownership of securities in the Company (including ownership of derivative securities) and material litigation, relationships and interests in material agreements with or involving the Company. Further, the Bylaws require the stockholder to provide additional information regarding any candidate the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director, including all information with respect to such nominee that would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice if such nominee were a stockholder delivering such notice and a description of any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among the nominating stockholder and each nominee or his or her respective associates. Additionally, the Bylaws require any candidate for the Board, whether nominated by a stockholder or the Board, to provide certain background information and representations regarding disclosure of voting or compensation arrangements, compliance with the Company’s policies and guidelines and intent to serve the entire term. The Bylaws also require the stockholder to provide additional information regarding the proposed business and any related agreements between the stockholder and any other beneficial holder.
In addition, the amendments revise the deadline in the Bylaws for advance notice of director nominations for a special meeting of stockholders where directors will be elected to not earlier than 120 days prior to such special meeting and not later than 90 days prior to such special meeting, or, if later, the tenth day following public disclosure of the special meeting. The deadline for advance notice of business and nominations for an annual meeting of stockholders was not revised. The amendments also prohibit stockholders from submitting more nominees than the number of directors up for election at the applicable meeting.
The amendments also added a forum selection provision, which provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of another forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery will be the sole and exclusive forum for the following actions: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought by or on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; and (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Additionally, the amendments include language pursuant to which stockholders are deemed to have consented to personal jurisdiction in the Delaware Court of Chancery and to service of process on their counsel in any action initiated in violation of the forum selection provision.
The amendments also (i) permit the Board, the chairman of a meeting or the majority of the stockholders in attendance at a meeting to adjourn such meeting at any time and (ii) revise the number of directors required to call a special meeting of the Board to a majority of directors then in office. The amendments also include certain technical, conforming, modernizing and clarifying changes to the Bylaws.
The foregoing description of the amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated herein by reference.
