The Company
Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, referred to as “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” or “Topgolf Callaway Brands” unless otherwise specified), a Delaware corporation, is a leading modern golf and active lifestyle company that provides world-class golf entertainment experiences, designs and manufactures premium golf equipment, and sells golf and active lifestyle apparel and other accessories through our family of brand names, which include Topgolf, Callaway Golf, Odyssey, TravisMathew, Jack Wolfskin, OGIO, and Toptracer.
Our products and brands are reported under three operating segments: Topgolf, which includes the operations of our Company-owned and operated and franchised Topgolf venues, and Toptracer ball-flight tracking technology (“Toptracer”); Golf Equipment, which includes the operations of our golf clubs and golf balls business under the Callaway Golf and Odyssey brand names; and Active Lifestyle, which includes the operations of our soft goods business marketed under the Callaway, TravisMathew, Jack Wolfskin and OGIO brand names.
In September 2024, following a strategic review of the Topgolf business, we announced that our Board of Directors intends to pursue a separation of our business into two independent companies: Callaway, a golf equipment company with a highly complementary Active Lifestyle business; and Topgolf, a high-growth, pure-play venue-based golf entertainment business. We expect to effect the separation through a spin-off of the Topgolf business to our shareholders in a transaction that is intended to be tax-free to both us and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We expect to execute the separation in the second half of 2025. The transaction will be subject to general market conditions and other customary conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, an opinion from tax counsel and/or a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the tax-free status of the spin-off of the Topgolf business to us and our shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, execution of intercompany agreements, further due diligence as appropriate and final approval by our Board of Directors. There can be no assurance regarding the form and timing of the separation or its completion.
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
We translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during each reporting period for results of operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation.
Fiscal Year End
Our annual financial results are reported on a calendar year basis. Our Topgolf operating segment previously operated on a 52- or 53-week retail calendar year, which ended on the Sunday closest to December 31. As of April 4, 2022, Topgolf began operating on a calendar year ending on December 31. Therefore, Topgolf financial information included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are for the period beginning January 3, 2022 and ending December 31, 2022.
