GAAP net income from continuing operations surged 67% year-over-year, reaching $75.8 million. Gross margins also saw a substantial lift, climbing 620 basis points to 50.1%, aided by a $10.8 million tariff refund and disciplined cost-rationalization measures.
Callaway Golf Reports Strong Q2 Growth as Debt Repayment Strategy Takes Hold
Following its return to a pure-play golf company model, Callaway Golf Company posted a 2% increase in second-quarter net sales, hitting $612.2 million. The Carlsbad-based manufacturer significantly bolstered its balance sheet by clearing $421 million in debt, including the full repayment of convertible notes and its term loan facility.
CEO Chip Brewer signaled confidence in the firm’s trajectory, noting that the business has made significant operational progress in its first six months as a focused golf entity. While the Apparel, Gear and Other segment experienced a 3.6% dip due to shipment timing and foreign exchange pressures in Asia, the company’s overall financial health remains robust. Consequently, Callaway has raised its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of $246 million to $260 million, reflecting both improved market conditions and a favorable shift in trade tariff forecasts.
