Mr. Maher continued, “Considering our third quarter results and expectations for the fourth quarter, we are reaffirming our full-year revenue outlook and narrowing our Adjusted EBITDA outlook toward the high end. This reflects continued strong demand for Acushnet’s products, underlying enthusiasm for the game of golf, and healthy fundamentals across the golf industry.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Consolidated net sales for the quarter increased 6.3%, or 6.0% on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by higher sales volumes in Titleist golf clubs and higher average selling prices in Titleist golf balls and FootJoy golf wear, mainly apparel, partially offset by lower sales volumes in Titleist golf gear.
On a geographic basis, higher net sales in the United States were largely driven by increases of 14.0% in Titleist golf clubs primarily driven by higher sales volumes of T-Series irons, 7.9% in Titleist golf balls primarily driven by higher average selling prices of Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls and 12.1% in FootJoy golf wear primarily driven by higher average selling prices in apparel and footwear. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of 20.2% in Titleist golf gear primarily as a result of lower sales volumes of headwear and golf bags due to strong sales volume in the third quarter of 2022 as supply chain and fulfillment constraints recovered from the first quarter of 2022.
Net sales in regions outside the United States increased 4.5%, or 3.8% on a constant currency basis. In Japan and Rest of World, the increase in net sales was primarily due to higher sales volumes in Titleist golf clubs. In EMEA, the increase in net sales was primarily due to higher sales volumes of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments and higher sales volumes in Titleist golf clubs. This increase in EMEA was partially offset by lower net sales in FootJoy golf wear and Titleist golf gear, mainly in footwear and golf bags, respectively. In Korea, the decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower sales volumes of Titleist golf gear, products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments and FootJoy golf wear, partially offset by net sales increases in Titleist golf clubs and Titleist golf balls.
Segment specifics:
•6.3% increase in net sales (6.2% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf balls primarily due to higher average selling prices of our Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls launched in the first quarter of 2023.
•17.6% increase in net sales (17.9% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf clubs largely due to higher sales volumes of our T-Series irons launched in the third quarter of 2023, TSR hybrids and Scotty Cameron Super Select putters, both of which were launched in the first quarter of 2023. This increase was partially offset by lower sales volumes of drivers, fairways and wedges.
•19.4% decrease in net sales (19.9% decrease on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf gear primarily driven by lower sales volumes in golf bags and headwear due to strong sales volume in the third quarter of 2022 as supply chain and fulfillment constraints recovered from the first quarter of 2022.
•3.8% increase in net sales (3.4% increase on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear primarily due to higher average selling prices in apparel.
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. increased 10.6% to $57.3 million, year over year, primarily as a result of an increase in income from operations and a decrease in income tax expense, partially offset by an increase in interest expense, net.
Adjusted EBITDA was $98.8 million, up 14.2% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.6% for the third quarter versus 15.5% for the prior year period.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Consolidated net sales for the first nine months increased 8.0%, or 9.9% on a constant currency basis, primarily driven by higher sales volumes in Titleist golf balls, Titleist golf clubs and Titleist golf gear. A decline in sales volume of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments also contributed to the change in net sales.
On a geographic basis, net sales in the United States were higher driven by increases of 17.7% in Titleist golf balls, 19.8% in Titleist golf clubs, 9.0% in FootJoy golf wear and 9.2% in Titleist golf gear. These increases were driven by higher sales volumes across all reportable segments and higher average selling prices in Titleist golf balls and FootJoy golf wear, mainly apparel and footwear.
Net sales in regions outside the United States were down 0.4%, or up 3.6% on a constant currency basis. Net sales increased in Rest of World and Japan, offset in part by a decrease in Korea and EMEA, on a constant currency basis. The increase in Rest of World was due to sales increases across all reportable segments. In Japan, net sales increased across all reportable segments except FootJoy golf wear. In EMEA, the decrease was due to lower sales volumes in FootJoy golf wear, partially offset by increases in all other reportable segments. In Korea, the decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes of products that are not allocated to one of our four reportable segments and lower sales volumes in FootJoy golf wear, partially offset by increases in all other reportable segments.
Segment specifics:
•13.9% increase in net sales (15.5% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf balls primarily driven by higher sales volumes and higher average selling prices of Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls launched in the first quarter of 2023.
•14.8% increase in net sales (16.8% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf clubs largely due to higher sales volumes of our latest generation T-Series irons, TSR drivers, fairways and hybrids and Scotty Cameron Super Select putters, partially offset by lower sales volumes of second model year wedges.
•7.0% increase in net sales (9.0% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf gear primarily driven by higher sales volumes and higher average selling prices across all product categories.
•1.4% decrease in net sales (0.6% increase on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear. The increase in constant currency was primarily due to a sales volume increase in apparel, largely offset by a sales volume decrease in footwear.
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. increased 13.0% to $225.2 million, year over year, primarily as a result of an increase in income from operations, partially offset by an increase in interest expense, net.
Adjusted EBITDA was $377.6 million, up 20.6% year over year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 19.2% for the first nine months versus 17.2% for the prior year period.

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.
We use net sales on a constant currency basis to evaluate the sales performance of our business in period over period comparisons and for forecasting 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 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.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. adjusted for interest expense, net, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization; and other items defined in the agreement, including: share-based compensation expense; restructuring and transformation costs; certain transaction fees; extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring 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 define Adjusted EBITDA in a manner consistent with the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as it is defined in our credit agreement.
We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure 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 pricing of our products, go to market execution and costs to incur across our business.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our consolidated operating performance. By presenting Adjusted EBITDA, we provide a basis for comparison of our business operations between different periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. It should not be considered an alternative to net income 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 non-recurring items, or affected by similar non-recurring 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.
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.
The following table presents reconciliations of net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp. to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

________________________
(1) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, includes costs associated with the optimization of our distribution and custom fulfillment capabilities.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, as forecasted for 2023, to the closest corresponding GAAP measure, net income, 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 and other extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items, net.
