FAIRHAVEN, MA – August 11, 2017 –  Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) ("Acushnet"), a global leader in the design, development, manufacture and distribution of performance-driven golf products, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Wally Uihlein, Acushnet President and CEO, said, "We are encouraged by what we continue to view as improving structural stability of the golf industry and believe that the broad rationalization is a positive for the commerce of golf.  Near term, the industry is experiencing the effects of the US retail correction as well as the impact of unfavorable weather on rounds played, but we believe that the longer term forecast remains bright.  The dedicated golfer has been Acushnet’s primary focus and our proven strategy to address their needs is the key to our ongoing success.  We remain optimistic about the future and our ability to strengthen our market positions over time."    

David Maher, Acushnet COO, said, "The U.S. retail channel correction and the impact of weather on rounds and fittings have been near term realities affecting the golf industry and our business.  Acushnet associates are executing well while navigating these headwinds.  The growing strength of the ProV1 franchise, Titleist gear and the success of the FootJoy Pro/SL golf shoes are great examples of how we continue to fortify our positions on multiple fronts as we work closely with our trade partners to deliver value added products to dedicated golfers.  We are excited about our upcoming new product introductions and we are looking forward to building upon our brand momentum in the back half of the year."

	June 30,				Increase/(Decrease)				Increase/(Decrease)
	2017		2016		$ change		% change		$ change		% change
(in millions)
Net sales	$	428.0	$	463.3	$	(35.3)	(7.6)	%	$	(30.6)	(6.6)	%
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp	$	33.0	$	27.1	$	5.9	21.8	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	71.8	$	83.0	$	(11.2)	(13.5)	%

Consolidated net sales for the quarter decreased by 7.6%, or by 6.6% on a constant currency basis.  Several significant factors, primarily in the United States, had a negative impact on the business this quarter.  These factors include the ongoing effects of the reduced U.S. store count and retail consolidation, unfavorable weather conditions which negatively impacted rounds of play as well as golf club fitting and trial engagements, and promotional activity by competitors that impacted the golf ball category.  As a result, consolidated net sales in the United States decreased by 8.5% in the quarter. 

Acushnet posted a year-on-year decline in net sales in regions outside the United States of 6.6%, down 4.5% on a constant currency basis, with Korea up 7.5%, offset by Japan down 13.4% and EMEA down 3.4%. 

Segment specifics:

· 6.6% decrease in net sales (5.6% decrease on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf balls as a result of a sales volume decline in both the ProV1 franchise and the performance models, the latter of which are in their second year of their two-year product life cycle. 

· 21.1% decrease in net sales (20.3% decrease on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf clubs due to lower sales volumes, primarily in the iron series, Scotty Cameron Select putters and Vokey Design wedges, all of which are in the second year of their two-year product life cycle.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average selling prices across all product categories, in particular the new 917 model drivers and fairways. 

· 5.6% increase in net sales (6.3% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf gear.  This increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices across all categories of the gear business.

· 5.8% decrease in net sales (4.1% decrease on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear primarily due to a sales volume decline in the footwear and glove categories. 

Net income attributable to Acushnet improved by $5.9 million to $33.0 million, primarily due to lower interest expense and lower other expense, partially offset by lower income from operations.

Adjusted EBITDA was $71.8 million, down 13.5% year over year.  Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.8% for the second quarter versus 17.9% for the prior year period.

Summary of First Six Months 2017 Financial Results

	Six months ended								Constant Currency
	June 30,				Increase/(Decrease)				Increase/(Decrease)
	2017		2016		$ change		% change		$ change		% change
(in millions)
Net sales	$	861.6	$	903.2	$	(41.6)	(4.6)	%	$	(34.2)	(3.8)	%
Net income attributable to Acushnet Holdings Corp	$	71.1	$	50.7	$	20.4	40.2	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	150.3	$	162.3	$	(12.0)	(7.4)	%

Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2017 decreased by 4.6%, or by 3.8% on a constant currency basis.  Consolidated net sales in the United States decreased by 5.8% in the six month period; this decrease was largely due to the factors that impacted net sales in the second quarter as described above.  Acushnet posted a year-on-year decline in net sales in regions outside the United States of 3.3%, down 1.5% on a constant currency basis, with Korea up 14.7%, offset by Japan down 12.0% and EMEA down 1.2%.

Segment specifics:

· 2.4% decrease in net sales (1.7% decrease on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf balls.  This decrease was driven by a sales volume decline of the performance and Pinnacle golf ball models which are in their second year of the two-year product life cycle and was partially offset by a sales volume increase of the newly introduced Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls.   

· 16.5% decrease in net sales (15.6% decrease on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf clubs.  This decrease was primarily driven by lower sales volumes of Vokey Design wedges, the iron series and the hybrids, all of which are in the second year of their two-year product life cycle.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average selling prices across all product categories, in particular the new 917 model drivers and fairways.

· 6.4% increase in net sales (6.7% increase on a constant currency basis) of Titleist golf gear.  This increase was primarily due to higher average selling prices in all categories of the gear business and higher sales volume growth in travel gear.

· 3.5% decrease in net sales (2.0% decrease on a constant currency basis) in FootJoy golf wear primarily due to a sales volume decline in footwear, partially offset by a sales volume increase in apparel. 

Net income attributable to Acushnet improved by $20.4 million to $71.1 million, primarily a result of lower interest expense and lower other expense.

Adjusted EBITDA was $150.3 million, down 7.4% year over year.  Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 versus 18.0% for the prior year period.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

(Unaudited)

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with general accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  However, this release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of net sales in constant currency and Adjusted EBITDA. 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 income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, the expenses relating to the Acushnet Company Equity Appreciation Rights Plan, as amended (the “EAR Plan”), share-based compensation expense, a one-time executive bonus, restructuring charges, certain transaction fees, indemnification expense (income) from our former owner Beam Suntory, Inc. (formerly known as Fortune Brands, Inc.) (“Beam”), gains (losses) on the fair value of our common stock warrants, certain other non-cash (gains) losses, net and the net income relating to non-controlling interests in our FootJoy golf shoe joint venture. We define Adjusted EBITDA in a manner consistent with the term “Consolidated EBITDA” as it is defined in our credit agreement. Consolidated EBITDA is used in our credit agreement at the Acushnet Company level for purposes of certain material terms, including (i) determining the applicable margin used to determine the interest rate per annum of outstanding borrowings and commitment fees for revolving commitments, (ii) calculating certain financial ratios used in financial maintenance covenants that require compliance on a quarterly basis, (iii) determining our ability to incur additional term loans or increases to our new revolving credit facility and (iv) determining the availability of certain baskets and the ability to enter into certain transactions.

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because it excludes the impact of certain items that (i) we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, (ii) that relate to our acquisition of Acushnet Company, our operating subsidiary, from Beam on July 29, 2011 (the “Acquisition”) or (iii) that relate to our historical capital structure that are no longer relevant after the closing of our initial public offering. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the

10

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. Adjusted EBITDA is also used as a financial performance measure for purposes of determining the vesting of equity awards that were granted under our Acushnet Holdings Corp. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

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.

The following table presents reconciliations of net income attributable to Acushnet to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):
