Exhibit 99.1
Callaway Golf Announces Record Sales for Second Quarter and
First Six Months of 2007
CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 1, 2007--Callaway Golf Company
(NYSE:ELY) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2007. Highlights for the second quarter include:
-- Net sales of $380.0 million, an increase of 11% compared to $341.8
million for the same period in 2006. These record sales are primarily the result
of strong sales of the Fusion FT-5 and FT-i drivers and X-20 irons, as well as
increases in sales of accessories and golf balls.
-- Fully diluted earnings per share of $0.53 on 69.3 million shares
outstanding, an increase of 61% compared to $0.33 on 68.6 million shares
outstanding in 2006.
-- Fully diluted earnings per share include $0.02 of after-tax charges for
gross margin improvement initiatives. The second quarter of 2006 includes
after-tax charges of $0.01 for the integration of Top-Flite and $0.01 for the
restructuring initiatives announced in September 2005. Excluding these charges,
the Company's pro forma fully diluted earnings per share for the second quarter
of 2007 would have been $0.55, an increase of 57% compared to $0.35 for the
second quarter of 2006.
-- Gross profit for the second quarter of 2007 increased 25% to $175.1
million (or 46% of net sales) compared to $140.1 million (or 41% of net sales)
for the second quarter of 2006. The increase in gross profit as a percent of
sales is primarily the result of an increased mix of higher margin woods and
irons products and positive results from the Company's gross margin improvement
initiatives announced in November, 2006.
-- Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2007 were $113.0 million
(or 30% of net sales) compared to $101.3 million (or 30% of net sales) in 2006.
The dollar increase is primarily due to higher selling expenses associated with
increased sales, the negative impact of the weaker dollar on international
operating expenses, higher legal expense associated with protecting the
Company's intellectual property, and increased annual incentive compensation
associated with the improved financial results compared to 2006.
Highlights for the first six months include:
-- Net sales increased 11% to $714.6 million, a new record for the Company.
Net Sales were $644.3 million for the same period in 2006.
-- Fully diluted earnings per share increased 55% to $1.01 on 68.8 million
shares outstanding, as compared to $0.65 on 69.4 million shares outstanding in
2006.
-- Fully diluted earnings per share include after-tax charges of $0.03
associated with the Company's gross margin improvement initiatives. Results for
the first half of 2006 include after-tax charges of $0.02 for the integration of
Top-Flite and $0.01 for restructuring. Excluding these charges, the Company's
pro forma fully diluted earnings per share for 2007 and 2006 would have been
$1.04 and $0.68 respectively, an increase of 53%.
-- Gross profit for 2007 was $335.8 million (or 47% of net sales) compared
to $271.6 million (or 42% of net sales) for 2006. The increase in gross profit
is primarily the result of an increase in mix of higher margin products as well
as positive results from the Company's gross margin improvement initiatives.
-- Operating expenses for 2007 were $217.9 million (or 30% of net sales),
compared to $196.5 million (or 30% of net sales) for 2006. The increase is
primarily due to higher selling and marketing expenses associated with the
increase in sales, the negative impact of a weaker dollar on international
operating expenses, increased legal expense associated with protecting the
Company's intellectual property, and increased annual incentive compensation
associated with the improved financial results.
"With the first half of 2007 behind us, we are pleased with our progress on
many fronts," commented George Fellows, President and CEO. "Sales have increased
11% for the quarter and first half of the year, the result of strong consumer
acceptance of our new products. Great technology in our Fusion line,
particularly our driver products, an improved product development process, and
improved ability to ship our products to market efficiently and on time are all
contributing to these strong results. We have also seen U.S. revenue market
share increase for the Top-Flite brand since December, 2006 driven by the
successful introduction of the new D2 golf ball and a cleaner retail channel,
resulting in improved profitability of this important brand."
"We are also making great progress on our gross margin initiatives,"
continued Mr. Fellows. "In fact, we are ahead of our internal targets, and are
on track with the inventory reduction initiatives we announced earlier this
year. Because of these results, we are increasing our full year outlook for the
second time this year."
Business Outlook
The Company estimates that its full year 2007 net sales will be in the
range of $1.070 to $1.080 billion compared to the previous estimate of $1.035 to
$1.055 billion. It is also estimated that the 2007 full year pro forma fully
diluted earnings per share will be in the range of $0.78 to $0.84 compared to
the previous estimate of $0.72 to $0.82, both on 70 million shares. Pro forma
earnings exclude charges related to the Company's gross margin improvement
initiatives, currently estimated at $0.08 per share for 2007, but include
charges related to employee equity-based compensation under FAS 123R.

Disclaimer: Statements used in this press release that relate to future
plans, events, financial results, performance or prospects, including statements
relating to progress on the gross margin or inventory reduction initiatives or
estimated sales and earnings for 2007, 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. Investors should
understand that it is very difficult to forecast sales of the Company's products
as a majority of the Company's sales each year is derived from the sale of new
products. Accurately estimating the Company's sales (and therefore earnings)
each year is therefore based upon various unknowns including consumer acceptance
and demand for the Company's new products as well as future consumer
discretionary purchasing behavior. 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, the re-launch of the Top-Flite brand or the
implementation of future initiatives; market acceptance of current and future
products; adverse market and economic conditions; 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, 2006, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time
to time in the Company's reports on Forms 10-K, 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
integration of the Callaway Golf Company and Top-Flite Golf Company operations
and charges related to the 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 supplemental financial
information attached to this release.
