Callaway Golf Announces Results for Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2006
Callaway Golf Company (NYSE:ELY) today announced its financial
results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2006.
Highlights for the fourth quarter include:
-- Net sales of $179.9 million, as compared to $154.5 million for
the same period in 2005.
-- Loss per share of $0.15 on 67.0 million shares, as compared to
a loss per share of $0.27 on 69.3 million shares in the fourth
quarter of 2005.
-- The 2006 fourth quarter loss per share includes $0.02 of
after-tax charges for employee equity-based compensation
associated with FAS 123R, $0.01 for charges related to the
restructuring initiatives announced in September 2005, and
$0.01 for gross margin improvement initiatives announced in
November 2006. The fourth quarter of 2005 includes after-tax
charges of $0.03 for the integration of Top-Flite and $0.02
for the restructuring charges. Excluding these charges, the
Company's pro forma loss per share for the fourth quarter of
2006 would have been $0.11, as compared to pro forma loss per
share of $0.22 for the fourth quarter of 2005.
-- Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $58.8 million
(or 33% of net sales) compared to $48.2 million (or 31% of net
sales) for the fourth quarter of 2005.
-- Operating Expenses for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $79.9
million compared to $80.8 million for the same period in 2005.
Highlights for the full year of 2006 include:
-- Net sales of $1.018 billion, as compared to $998.1 million for
the same period in 2005.
-- Fully diluted earnings per share of $0.34 on 68.5 million
shares, as compared to fully diluted earnings per share of
$0.19 on 69.2 million shares in 2005.
-- The 2006 fully diluted earnings per share includes after-tax
charges of $0.08 for employee equity-based compensation
associated with FAS 123R, $0.04 for the integration of
Top-Flite, $0.03 for the restructuring initiatives, and $0.02
for the gross margin improvement initiatives. The full year of
2005 includes after-tax charges of $0.11 for integration of
Top-Flite, $0.07 for the restructuring, and $0.01 for employee
equity-based compensation. Excluding these charges, the
Company's pro forma fully diluted earnings per share for 2006
would have been $0.51 compared to $0.38 for 2005.
-- Gross profit for 2006 was $398.1 million (or 39% of net sales)
compared to $414.4 million (or 42% of net sales) for 2005. The
decline in gross profit is primarily the result of a lower mix
of higher margin irons, as well as lower Top-Flite and Ben
Hogan gross margins due to the initiatives to clear older
inventory.
-- Operating Expenses for 2006 were $361.0 million, a decrease of
$36.2 million compared to $397.2 million in 2005. A majority
of the decrease is due to the restructuring initiatives
announced in September 2005.
"We have made significant progress this year in improving
operations and profitability," announced George Fellows, President and
CEO. "Specifically, we were able to reduce our pro forma operating
expenses in 2006 by approximately $35 million, which is in addition to
the $8 million saved in the fourth quarter of 2005. We are also
pleased with our fourth quarter results which reflect stronger sales
and gross margins and significantly improved earnings compared to the
fourth quarter last year."
"While pleased with our progress so far, we recognize that there
is more we must do to further improve our operations and
profitability," continued Mr. Fellows. "We have therefore begun
implementing our previously announced gross margin initiatives, which
are targeted at saving $50 to $60 million over the next two years. We
also began the relaunch of the Top-Flite brand at the PGA Show in
Orlando at the end of January and are encouraged by the reception the
new Top-Flite D2 ball technology has received. With these projects
underway, along with the 5 out of 11 'Editor Choice' awards we
received for our new 2007 products in Golf Digest's 'Hot List'
equipment review, we are optimistic as we begin the new golf season."
Business Outlook
The Company estimates that its full year 2007 net sales will be in
the range of $1.035 to $1.055 billion. The Company also estimates that
its 2007 full year pro forma fully diluted earnings per share will be
in the range of $0.75 to $0.85, which represents an estimated increase
of over 45% as compared to the Company's pro forma fully diluted
earnings per share in 2006 of $0.51 as discussed above. Estimated pro
forma earnings for 2007 exclude charges related to employee long-term
incentive compensation as well as charges related to the Company's
gross margin initiatives.
Going forward, the Company's pro forma results will include
charges for employee long-term incentive compensation, which are
estimated to be $0.09 per share in 2007 as compared to $0.08 in 2006.
As a result, the Company's pro forma fully diluted earnings per share
for 2007 including these charges are estimated to be in the range of
$0.66 to $0.76, as compared to $0.43 in 2006.
The Company's earnings estimates assume a base of 68.0 million
shares.

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
2007, the relaunch of the Top-Flite brand, and the implementation of,
or cost savings to result from, the Company's gross margin
initiatives, 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 substantial portion of the
Company's sales each year is derived from the sale of new products.
Accurately estimating the Company's sales each year is therefore based
upon various unknowns including consumer acceptance of the Company's
new products as well as consumer discretionary purchasing behavior in
the upcoming year. Actual results may differ materially from those
estimated or anticipated as a result of these unknowns or as a result
of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to,
delays, difficulties or increased costs associated 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
for 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, 2005, 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
employee equity-based compensation, charges related to the integration
of the Callaway Golf Company and Top-Flite Golf Company operations,
charges related to the September 2005 restructuring initiatives, 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.
