Callaway Golf Company Announces Record First Half 2008 Sales and Earnings
Earnings per share rise 9% for the quarter and 18% for the first 6 months
CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Callaway Golf Company (NYSE:ELY) today announced its financial results for the second quarter and first half ended June 30, 2008, including record sales and earnings for the first half of 2008.
Highlights for the second quarter include:
- Net sales of $366 million, a decrease of 4% versus 2007’s record second quarter sales of $380 million.
- Fully diluted earnings per share of $0.58 (on 63.9 million shares outstanding), an increase of approximately 9% compared to $0.53 (on 69.3 million shares outstanding) in 2007. Fully diluted earnings per share for the second quarter include after-tax charges for gross margin improvement initiatives of $0.05 per share in 2008 and $0.02 per share in 2007.
- Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the second quarter of 2008 increased to 46.7% from 46.1% in the second quarter of 2007. Excluding the impact of the gross margin initiatives charges, gross profit percentages for the second quarter of 2008 increased 140 basis points to 48.0% versus 46.6% in the second quarter of 2007.
- Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2008 were $110.8 million (or 30% of net sales) compared to $113.0 million (or 30% of net sales) in 2007.
- The Company repurchased 1.5 million shares of stock for $20 million for the quarter at an average price of $13.59 per share.
Highlights for the first six months include:
- Record net sales of $732.5 million, an increase of 2% versus last year’s record of $714.6 million.
- Record fully diluted earnings per share of $1.19 (on 64.4 million shares outstanding), an increase of 18% as compared to $1.01 (on 68.8 million shares outstanding) in 2007. Fully diluted earnings per share for the period include after-tax charges for gross margin improvement initiatives of $0.06 per share in 2008 and $0.03 per share in 2007.
- Gross profit for 2008 was $346.6 million (or 47.3% of net sales) compared to $335.8 million (or 47.0% of net sales) for 2007. Excluding the impact of the gross margin initiatives charges, pro forma gross profit percentages for 2008 would have been 48.1% compared to 47.5% in 2007.
- Operating expenses for 2008 were $221.4 million (or 30% of net sales), compared to $217.9 million (or 30% of net sales) for 2007.
“We’ve reached the halfway point of 2008 and despite the challenging economic conditions in the United States we have delivered record sales and earnings over a strong 2007,” commented George Fellows, President and CEO. “These results speak to the strength of our brands and our international business, which has delivered ahead of expectations and more than offset the softness we have experienced in our U.S. business.”
“We continue to make excellent progress on our gross margin improvement initiatives and are on track to achieve our original two year commitment of $50 to $60 million in savings,” continued Mr. Fellows. “While product mix and to a lesser extent commodity costs will work against us this year, we currently estimate our full year gross margins will still improve at least 100 basis points compared to 2007. In addition, we are on track to achieve our inventory reduction initiatives announced earlier this year.”
Business Outlook
The Company reiterates its full year guidance of $1.145 to $1.165 billion in net sales and pro forma fully diluted earnings per share of $1.08 to $1.18 per share. The Company estimates that its full year net sales will be toward the higher end of the guidance range as it anticipates that it will continue to benefit from foreign currency exchange rates and intends to release some new products on a limited basis during the fourth quarter. Pro forma full year diluted earnings per share are estimated to increase by more than 20% compared to 2007 and to be at the lower end of the guidance range, due to the adverse effect of product mix and commodity costs on 2008 gross margins, as well as additional marketing investment for the new product introductions. The pro forma earnings guidance for 2008 excludes charges of approximately $0.11 per share for the Company’s gross margin initiatives. The Company had previously estimated that the charges for the gross margin initiatives would be approximately $0.08 per share for 2008 but the Company has accelerated the commencement of some of the gross margin initiatives that previously had been planned to start in 2009. As a result of the second quarter share repurchases, the pro forma earnings per share estimates are now based upon an estimated 64.5 million shares.
The Company will be holding a conference call at 2:00 p.m. PDT today. The call will be broadcast live over the Internet and can be accessed at www.callawaygolf.com.

Disclaimer: Statements used in this press release that relate to future plans, events, financial results, performance or prospects, including statements relating to estimated sales and earnings for 2008, estimated gross margin improvement for 2008, the estimated charges for the Company’s gross margin initiatives, the timing or amount of new product introductions, and anticipated benefits from foreign currency rates, are forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These estimates and statements are based upon current information and expectations. Accurately estimating the Company’s reported future financial performance is based upon various unknowns including, future changes in foreign currency rates and consumer acceptance and demand for the Company’s products as well as future consumer discretionary purchasing activity, which can be significantly adversely affected by unfavorable economic or market conditions. Actual results may differ materially from those estimated or anticipated as a result of these unknowns or other risks and uncertainties, including delays, difficulties or increased costs in the supply of components needed to manufacture the Company’s products, in manufacturing the Company’s products, or in connection with the implementation of the Company’s planned gross margin initiatives or the implementation of future initiatives; adverse weather conditions and seasonality; any rule changes or other actions taken by the USGA or other golf association that could have an adverse impact upon demand or supply of the Company’s products; a decrease in participation levels in golf; and the effect of terrorist activity, armed conflict, natural disasters or pandemic diseases on the economy generally, on the level of demand for the Company's products or on the Company's ability to manage its supply and delivery logistics in such an environment. For additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties that could affect these statements and the Company’s business, see Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K subsequently filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Regulation G: The financial results reported in this press release have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). In addition to the GAAP results, the Company has also provided additional information concerning its results, which includes certain financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release exclude charges associated with the Company’s gross margin initiatives. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. Management believes that the presentation of such non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, provides additional useful information concerning the Company’s operations without these charges. The Company has provided reconciling information in the text of this press release and in the accompanying schedules.
