Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following reflects updates to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Commission. Use of Estimates 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 determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations as it relates to revenue recognition, the valuation of share-based awards, recoverability of long-lived assets, assessing intangible assets and goodwill for impairment, determining the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, in addition to provisions for warranty, uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, sales returns, future price concessions and tax contingencies and valuation allowances. 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 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2020-06, "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity." This ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. These changes will reduce reported interest expense and increase reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument that was bifurcated according to previously existing rules. Also, this ASU requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share and the treasury stock method will be no longer available. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Entities may adopt the guidance through either a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition. In applying the modified retrospective method, entities should apply the guidance to transactions outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are adopted. The Company completed a preliminary assessment of this ASU, and it anticipates adopting the modified retrospective approach, which will result in a significant increase in its dilutive share-count as the result of calculating the impact of dilution from its convertible notes using the if-converted method. The Company also anticipates a decrease in interest expense resulting from the elimination of the original issuance discount. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company anticipates recognizing the difference between the removal of the equity component of the convertible notes and the unamortized original issuance discount as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings when it adopts this new standard on January 1, 2022. Adoption of New Accounting Standards The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference the London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to the probability and the assessments of effectiveness of LIBOR-indexed cash flow hedges upon a change in the critical terms of the derivative or the hedged transactions, and upon the end of relief under Topic 848. The Company has elected to continue the method of assessing effectiveness as documented in the original hedge documentation and elects to apply the expedient in ASC 848-50-35-17 (through 35-18) which allows the reference rate on the hypothetical derivative to match the reference rate on the hedging instrument. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes." This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("Topic 740") and simplifies certain U.S. GAAP requirements. This ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements or disclosures. Significant Accounting Policies Leases The Company leases office space, manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, Company-operated Topgolf venues, 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 extend the lease term, options to purchase the leased property at the Company's sole discretion or escalation clauses that increase the rent payments over the lease term. 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. Certain leases may require an additional contingent rent payment based on a percentage of sales greater than certain specified threshold amounts. The Company recognizes contingent rent expense when it is probable that sales thresholds will be reached during the fiscal year. 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 during 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 agreement in determining the present value of minimum 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. At the commencement of a lease, the ROU asset for operating leases is measured by taking the sum of the present value of the lease liability, initial direct costs (if any) and prepaid lease payments (if any) and deducting lease incentives (if any). After the lease commencement date and over the lease term, lease expense is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis. Lease agreements related to properties are generally comprised of lease components and non-lease components. Non-lease components, such as common area maintenance charges, property taxes and insurance, are expensed as incurred and recognized separately from the straight-line lease expense. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, such as rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels, are expensed separately as incurred, and are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, such as payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation, are included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In certain venue leasing arrangements, due to the Company’s involvement in the construction of leased assets, the Company is considered the owner of the leased assets for accounting purposes. In such cases, in addition to capitalizing the Company’s construction costs, the Company capitalizes the construction costs funded by the landlord related to its leased premises and recognizes a corresponding liability for those costs as construction advances during the construction period. At the end of the construction period, the Company applies sale and leaseback guidance to determine whether the underlying asset should be derecognized. When the application of the sale and leaseback guidance results in a sale, the asset and liability on the Company’s balance sheet are derecognized. When the application of the sale and leaseback guidance results in a failed sale, the asset remains on the Company’s balance sheet and is depreciated over its respective useful life or the lease term, whichever is shorter, and the liability is accounted for as a deemed landlord financing obligation. These deemed landlord financing obligations are generally non-cancelable leases with initial terms of 20 years containing various renewal options following the initial term and escalation clauses that increase the payments over the lease term. With respect to the Company’s Toptracer operations, the Company enters into non-cancelable license agreements that provide software and hardware to driving ranges and hospitality and entertainment venues. These license agreements provide the customer the right to use Company-owned software and hardware products for a specified period generally ranging from three to five years. The software and hardware are a distinct bundle of goods that are highly interrelated. At the inception of the arrangement, lease classification is assessed which generally results in the license agreements being classified as sales-type leases. Upon lease commencement for sales-type leases, revenue is recognized consisting of initial payments received and the present value of payments over the non-cancellable term. Revenue Recognition The Company accounts for revenue recognition of products and services in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." See Note 4. Product Revenue The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its golf clubs, golf balls, lifestyle and outdoor apparel, gear and accessories and golf apparel and accessories 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 under certain contract terms. In addition, the Company recognizes revenue at the point of sale on transactions with consumers at its retail locations and retail shops at Topgolf 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 products as soon as control of the goods transfers to the customer. The Company, in exchange for a royalty fee, licenses its trademarks and service marks to third parties for use on products such as golf apparel and footwear, practice aids and other golf accessories. Royalty income is recognized over time as underlying product sales occur, subject to certain minimum royalties, in accordance with the related licensing arrangements. Royalty income is included in the Company's Apparel, Gear and Other operating segment. 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. 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 revenues 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 to reflect the amount of consideration it expects to receive from its customers. There were no material changes to the rate during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. 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 certain 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. Services Revenue The Company recognizes revenue from the operation of its Topgolf venues consisting primarily of food and beverage sales, event deposits, fees charged for gameplay, purchases of game credits and membership fees. In addition, services sales are recognized through the redemption of gift cards, sponsorship contracts, franchise fees, leasing revenue, the Company’s World Golf Tour ("WGT") digital golf game and non-refundable deposits for venue reservations. The Company's food and beverage revenue is recognized at the time of sale. Event deposits received from guests attributable to food and beverage purchases are deferred and recognized as revenue when the event is held. Food and beverage revenues are presented net of discounts. All sales taxes collected from guests are excluded from revenue in the consolidated condensed statements of operations and the obligation is included in accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheets until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities. Fees charged for gameplay are recognized at the time of purchase. Event deposits received from guests attributable to gameplay purchases are deferred and recognized as revenue when the event is held. Purchases of game credits are deferred and recognized as revenue when: (i) the game credits are redeemed by the guest; or (ii) the likelihood of the game credits being redeemed by the guest is remote (“game credit breakage”). The Company uses historic game credit redemption patterns to determine the likelihood of game credit redemption. Game credit breakage is recorded consistent with the historic redemption pattern. Membership fees received from guests are deferred and recognized as revenue over the estimated life of the associated membership. Revenues from gift cards to purchase for food and beverage or gameplay at Topgolf locations are deferred and recognized when the cards are redeemed, consistent with the gift card policy on product revenues. The Company enters into sponsorship contracts that provide advertising opportunities to market to Topgolf guests in the form of custom displays, lobby displays, digital and print posters and other advertising at Topgolf venues and on Topgolf websites. Sponsorship contracts are typically for a fixed price over a specified length of time and revenue is generally recognized ratably over the contract period unless there is a different predominate pattern of performance. The Company enters into international development agreements that grant franchise partners the right to develop, open and operate a certain number of venues within a particular geographic area. The franchise partner may be required to pay a territory fee upon entering into a development agreement and a franchise fee for each developed venue. The franchisee will also pay ongoing royalty fees based upon a percentage of sales. The initial franchise term provided for each venue generally ranges from 15 to 20 years and provides the option for renewal. The franchise of each individual venue within an arrangement represents a single performance obligation. Therefore, territory fees and franchise fees for each arrangement are allocated to each individual venue and recognized over the term of the respective franchise agreement, including renewal options. Revenue from sales-based royalties is recognized as the related sales occur. The franchisee may also purchase Topgolf-specific equipment and supplies from the Company to be used at the licensed venue. The Company has determined that it is the principal in these transactions and record the related revenue and cost of services on a gross basis. Leasing revenue results from non-cancelable sales-type lease agreements that provide Toptracer software and hardware to driving ranges and hospitality and entertainment venues. See discussion above on sales-type leases. The Company’s WGT digital golf game is a live service that allows players to play for free via web and mobile gaming platforms. Within the WGT digital golf game, players can purchase virtual currency to obtain virtual goods to enhance their game-playing experience. Revenues from purchases of virtual currency are deferred at the point of purchase and recognized as revenue over the average life of a player, determined using historic gameplay activity patterns. Non-refundable deposits received for venue reservations are recognized at the time of purchase. Cost of Products The Company’s cost of products is comprised primarily of variable costs that fluctuate with sales volumes, including raw materials and component costs, merchandise from third parties, conversion costs including direct labor and manufacturing overhead, and inbound freight, duties, and shipping charges. In addition, cost of products include hardware costs with respect to Topgolf's Toptracer license agreements classified as sales-type leases, and retail merchandise costs for products sold in retail shops within Topgolf venue facilities. Fixed overhead expenses include warehousing costs, indirect labor, and supplies, as well as depreciation expense associated with assets used to manufacture and distribute products. In addition, cost of products includes adjustments to reflect inventory at its net realizable value, as well as adjustments for obsolescence and product warranties. Cost of Services The Company’s cost of services primarily consists of food and beverage costs and transaction fees with respect to in-app purchases within the Company’s WGT digital golf game. Food and beverage costs are variable by nature, change with sales volume, and are impacted by product mix and commodity pricing. Cost of services excludes employee costs as well as depreciation and amortization. Other Venue Expenses Other venue expenses consists of salaries and wages, bonuses, commissions, payroll taxes, and other employee costs that directly support venue operations, in addition to rent and occupancy costs, property taxes, depreciation associated with venues, supplies, credit card fees and marketing expenses. Other venue expenses include both fixed and variable components and are therefore not directly correlated with revenue. Venue Pre-Opening Costs Pre-opening costs primarily include costs associated with activities prior to the opening of a new company-operated venue, as well as other costs that are not considered in the evaluation of ongoing performance. Pre-opening costs fluctuate based on the timing, size and location of new company-operated venues. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) SG&A expenses are comprised primarily of employee costs, advertising and promotional costs, tour expenses, legal and professional fees, travel expenses, building and rent expenses, depreciation charges (excluding those related to manufacturing and distribution operations), amortization of intangible assets, and other miscellaneous expenses. Research and Development Research and development expenses are comprised of costs to develop or significantly improve the Company's products and technology, which primarily include the salaries and wages of personnel engaged in research and development activities, research costs and depreciation expense. Other than software development costs qualifying for capitalization, research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Inventories Unless otherwise stated below, the Company's inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which includes a reserve for excess, obsolete and/or unmarketable inventory. This reserve is regularly assessed based on current inventory levels, sales trends, and historical experience, as well as management’s estimates of market conditions and forecasts of future product demand, all of which are subject to change. The Company utilizes the standard costing method, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, for its golf equipment inventory and soft goods inventory sold under the TravisMathew, OGIO and Callaway brands, and the weighted average costing method for soft goods inventory sold under the Jack Wolfskin brand. Golf equipment inventory, which is directly manufactured by the Company, includes finished goods, raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead costs and work in process. The Company's soft goods product lines, which are manufactured by third-party contractors, primarily include finished good products. Toptracer hardware and software, food and beverage products and Topgolf-specific retail merchandise inventories are stated at weighted average cost. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives generally as follows:
Buildings and improvements | 10-40 years
Machinery and equipment | 5-10 years
Furniture, computers and equipment | 3-5 years
Internal-use software | 3-5 years
Production molds | 2-5 years
Buildings capitalized in conjunction with deemed landlord financing where the Company is deemed to be the accounting owner are depreciated, less residual value, over the shorter of 20 years or the lease term. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditures that materially increase values, change capacities, or extend useful lives are capitalized. The related costs and accumulated depreciation of disposed assets are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss on disposition is recognized in earnings. Construction in-process consists primarily of costs associated with building improvements, machinery and equipment and venues under construction that have not yet been placed into service, unfinished molds as well as in-process internal-use software. In accordance with ASC Topic 350-40, “Internal-Use Software,” the Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining internal use software. Costs incurred in the preliminary project stage are expensed. All direct external costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the development stage are capitalized and depreciated using the straight-line method over the remaining estimated useful lives. Costs such as maintenance and training are expensed as incurred. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company's intangible assets, which are comprised of goodwill, trade names, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, customer and distributor relationships, developed technology, non-competes and patents were acquired in connection with the acquisitions of Odyssey Sports, Inc., FrogTrader, Inc., OGIO, TravisMathew, Jack Wolfskin, certain foreign distributors and the recently completed merger with Topgolf on March 8, 2021. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but instead are measured for impairment at least annually or more frequently when events indicate that an impairment exists. The Company calculates impairment as the excess of the carrying value of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets over their estimated fair value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimate of fair value a write-down is recorded. To determine fair value, the Company uses discounted cash flow estimates, quoted market prices, royalty rates when available and independent appraisals when appropriate. During the second quarter of 2020, due to the significant disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operations, the Company performed a qualitative assessment considering the macroeconomic conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the potential impact on the Company's revenue and operating income for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and potentially beyond. As a result, the Company determined that there were indicators of impairment, and proceeded with a quantitative assessment to test the recoverability of goodwill for all its reporting units, in addition to the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting primarily of the trade names and trademarks associated with the Company's brands. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that the fair values of the Jack Wolfskin reporting unit and the Jack Wolfskin trade name were less than their carrying values. As a result, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized impairment losses to write-off the goodwill associated with the Jack Wolfskin reporting unit and write-down the trade name associated with the Jack Wolfskin brand name to its new estimated fair value. There were no further impairments recognized over the remainder of 2020. For further discussion, see Note 9. Intangible assets that are determined to have definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are measured for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360-10-35, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” as discussed above, only when events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. See Note 9 for further discussion of the Company’s intangible assets. Costs related to the development, maintenance, or renewal of internally developed intangible assets that are inherent in the Company's continuing business and relate to the Company as a whole, that were not acquired as a part of a business combination or asset acquisition, are expensed as incurred.
