Net sales $ 2,558.7 $ 2,457.1 $ 101.6 4.1 % $ 104.2 4.2 %

Adjusted EBITDA $ 410.4 $ 404.4 $ 6.0 1.5 %
Consolidated net sales for the full year increased 4.1%, or 4.2% on a constant currency basis, driven by higher
net sales in Titleist golf equipment, primarily due to higher average selling prices in golf clubs and sales
volumes in golf balls, as well as higher net sales in Golf gear, primarily due to higher average selling prices
across all product categories. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear,
primarily due to lower sales volumes in footwear, partially offset by higher average selling prices across all
product categories. An increase in net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable
segments also contributed to the change in net sales.
On a geographic basis, higher net sales in the United States were largely driven by increases in Titleist golf
equipment of $60.8 million and Golf gear of $9.4 million. The increase in Titleist golf equipment was primarily
driven by higher average selling prices in golf clubs and higher sales volumes of our 2025 Pro V1 golf ball
models, GT hybrids and our latest generation T-Series irons. These increases were partially offset by lower
sales volumes of second model year GT drivers, SM10 wedges, and performance model golf balls. The increase
in Golf gear was primarily driven by higher average selling prices across all product categories. An increase in
net sales of products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments also contributed to the change
in net sales.
Net sales in regions outside the United States were up 2.5%, or 2.7% on a constant currency basis driven by
increases in EMEA and Rest of World, partially offset by decreases in Japan and Korea. In EMEA and Rest of
World, the increases were driven by higher net sales across all reportable segments. An increase in net sales of
products that are not allocated to one of our three reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales
in Rest of World. In Japan, the decrease was primarily due to lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, largely in the
footwear and apparel product categories, partially offset by higher net sales in Titleist golf equipment, driven by
golf balls. In Korea, the decrease was largely due to lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear, primarily in the
footwear and apparel product categories, and Golf gear, partially offset by higher net sales in Titleist golf
equipment, largely due to golf clubs.
Segment specifics:
• 5.9% increase in net sales (5.8% on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf equipment, primarily
driven by higher average selling prices in golf clubs and sales volumes of our 2025 Pro V1 golf ball
models. In addition, higher sales volumes of our latest generation T-Series irons and GT hybrids were
more than offset by lower sales volumes of our second model year drivers, wedges, and performance
model golf balls.
• 0.8% decrease in net sales (0.7% on a constant currency basis) of FootJoy golf wear due to lower sales
volumes, primarily in footwear, partially offset by higher average selling prices across all product
categories.

• 5.5% increase in net sales (5.6% on a constant currency basis) of Golf gear driven by higher average
selling prices across all product categories.
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. decreased $25.8 million to $188.5 million, down 12.0%
year over year, primarily driven by a $17.0 million loss on debt extinguishment related to our 2025 debt
refinancing, an increase in interest expense, net and lower income from operations, partially offset by a non-
cash pre-tax gain of $20.9 million related to the deconsolidation of our FootJoy golf shoe joint venture.
Adjusted EBITDA was $410.4 million, up 1.5% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.0% versus
16.5% for the prior year period.

Consolidated net sales for the quarter increased 7.2%, or 7.0% on a constant currency basis, primarily due to
higher sales volumes in Titleist golf equipment, driven by golf clubs, and higher average selling prices across all
reportable segments, partially offset by lower sales volumes in Golf gear.
On a geographic basis, net sales in the United States were higher primarily as a result of increases of $16.3
million in Titleist golf equipment and $5.5 million in FootJoy golf wear. The increase in Titleist golf equipment
was primarily related to higher sales volumes of our latest generation T-Series irons and second model year
wedges, partially offset by lower sales volumes of second model year GT drivers. The increase in FootJoy golf
wear was largely related to higher average selling prices, primarily footwear.
Net sales in regions outside the United States were up 5.1%, or 4.7% on a constant currency basis due to net
sales increases in Japan, Rest of World and EMEA, partially offset by a decrease in net sales in Korea. In Japan,
net sales increased primarily due to higher net sales of Titleist golf equipment and products that are not
allocated to one of our three reportable segments. In Rest of World, net sales increased mainly due to higher net
sales of Titleist golf equipment, driven by golf clubs. In EMEA, the increase was primarily due to higher net

our three reportable segments. In Korea, the decrease was largely related to lower net sales in FootJoy golf
wear.

Segment specifics:
• 10.2% increase in net sales (9.9% on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf equipment, largely due to
higher sales volumes of T-Series irons launched in the third quarter of 2025 and second model year
SM10 wedges, partially offset by lower sales volumes of second model year GT drivers.
• 4.7% increase in net sales (4.5% on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear primarily due to
higher average selling prices in footwear.
• 4.7% decrease in net sales (5.3% on a constant currency basis) of Golf gear primarily due to lower sales
volumes across all product categories, partially offset by higher average selling prices across all product
categories.
Net loss attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. for the quarter was $34.9 million, compared to $1.1 million for
the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a $17.0 million loss on debt extinguishment
related to our 2025 debt refinancing, as well as an increase in loss from operations, offset in part by an increase
in income tax benefit.
Adjusted EBITDA was $9.8 million, compared to $12.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin
was 2.1% for the fourth quarter versus 2.8% for the prior year period.
Cash Dividend and Share Repurchases
Acushnet’s board of directors today declared an increase of its quarterly cash dividend of 8.5% to $0.255 per

reported basis, up 3.6% at the midpoint. On a constant currency basis, consolidated net sales are expected to be
up between 2.5% and 4.5%. We expect full year adjusted EBITDA to be approximately $415 to $435 million.

ACUSHNET HOLDINGS CORP.
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (“GAAP”). However, this release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of net sales in
constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures are
not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant to
understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be
considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales, net income or other measures of profitability or
performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Since a significant percentage of our net sales are generated outside of the United States, we use net sales on a
constant currency basis to evaluate the sales performance of our business in period over period comparisons and
to forecast our business going forward. Constant currency information allows us to estimate what our sales
performance would have been without changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This information is
calculated by taking the current period local currency net sales and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon
the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable prior period. This constant currency
information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with
GAAP. Our presentation of constant currency information may not be consistent with the manner in which
similar measures are derived or used by other companies.
We define “Adjusted EBITDA” in a manner consistent with the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as it is defined in
our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp.
plus interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization; and other items defined
in our credit agreement, including: share-based compensation expense; restructuring and transformation costs;
certain transaction fees; extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring losses or charges; indemnification expense
(income); certain pension settlement costs; certain other non-cash (gains) losses, net and the net income (loss)
relating to noncontrolling interests.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because it excludes the
impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Management
uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, assess our consolidated
operating performance and make decisions regarding the pricing of our products, go-to-market execution and
costs to incur across our business.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered an
alternative to net income (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. as a measure of our operating
performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted
EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or
nonrecurring items, or affected by similar nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an
analytical tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our
results as reported under GAAP. Our definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily
comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.
11
We also use Adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis, which measures our Adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of net sales, because our management uses it to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies,
assess our consolidated operating performance and make decisions regarding pricing of our products, go-to-
market execution and costs to incur across our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA margin as a
supplemental measure of our operating performance because it excludes the impact of certain items that we do
not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be
considered an alternative to any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition,
Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by
unusual or nonrecurring items, or affected by similar nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin has
limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute
for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin
is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different
methods of calculation.
The following table presents reconciliations of net (loss) income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. to
Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

arrangements. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, includes pension settlement costs of $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, related to
lump-sum distributions to participants in our defined benefit plans as a result of the VBR program. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2024,
includes a non-cash benefit of $17.7 million associated with a change in the Company’s paid time off policy. In addition, the years ended December 31, 2025 and
2024, include other gains, losses or costs added back for purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA as defined in our credit agreement.
12
A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, as forecasted for 2026, to the closest corresponding GAAP
measure, net income (loss), is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the
high variability and low visibility of certain charges that may impact our GAAP results on a forward-looking
basis, such as the measures and effects of share-based compensation, restructuring and transformation costs
and other items that have not yet occurred and may impact our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in future
periods.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (“GAAP”). However, this release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of net sales in
constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. These non-GAAP financial measures are
not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant to
understanding and assessing the Company’s financial results. Therefore, these measures should not be
considered in isolation or as an alternative to net sales, net income or other measures of profitability or
performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Since a significant percentage of our net sales are generated outside of the United States, we use net sales on a
constant currency basis to evaluate the sales performance of our business in period over period comparisons and
to forecast our business going forward. Constant currency information allows us to estimate what our sales
performance would have been without changes in foreign currency exchange rates. This information is
calculated by taking the current period local currency net sales and translating them into U.S. dollars based upon
the foreign currency exchange rates for the applicable comparable prior period. This constant currency
information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with
GAAP. Our presentation of constant currency information may not be consistent with the manner in which
similar measures are derived or used by other companies.
We define “Adjusted EBITDA” in a manner consistent with the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as it is defined in
our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp.
plus interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization; and other items defined
in our credit agreement, including: share-based compensation expense; restructuring and transformation costs;
certain transaction fees; extraordinary, unusual or nonrecurring losses or charges; indemnification expense
(income); certain pension settlement costs; certain other non-cash (gains) losses, net and the net income (loss)
relating to noncontrolling interests.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our operating performance because it excludes the
impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Management
uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, assess our consolidated
operating performance and make decisions regarding the pricing of our products, go-to-market execution and
costs to incur across our business.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered an
alternative to net income (loss) attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. as a measure of our operating
performance or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, Adjusted
EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or
nonrecurring items, or affected by similar nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an
analytical tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute for analyzing our
results as reported under GAAP. Our definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily
comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.
11
We also use Adjusted EBITDA margin on a consolidated basis, which measures our Adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of net sales, because our management uses it to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies,
assess our consolidated operating performance and make decisions regarding pricing of our products, go-to-
market execution and costs to incur across our business. We present Adjusted EBITDA margin as a
supplemental measure of our operating performance because it excludes the impact of certain items that we do
not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be
considered an alternative to any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition,
Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by
unusual or nonrecurring items, or affected by similar nonrecurring items. Adjusted EBITDA margin has
limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider such measure either in isolation or as a substitute
for analyzing our results as reported under GAAP. Our definition and calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin
is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different
methods of calculation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

12
A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, as forecasted for 2026, to the closest corresponding GAAP
measure, net income (loss), is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the
high variability and low visibility of certain charges that may impact our GAAP results on a forward-looking
basis, such as the measures and effects of share-based compensation, restructuring and transformation costs
and other items that have not yet occurred and may impact our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA in future
periods.
