Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]  
Discontinued Operations Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations is comprised of our former Topgolf and Jack Wolfskin businesses. Results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and the notes to the financial statements have been adjusted on a retrospective basis.
Divestiture of the Topgolf Business
On November 17, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell a 60% stake in the Topgolf and Toptracer businesses (“Topgolf”) to private equity funds managed by Leonard Green & Partners, L.P. The sale was completed effective January 1, 2026 whereby the purchaser acquired 60% of the indirect equity interests of Topgolf (the “Sale”) based upon an equity value of approximately $1,100.0 million. In connection with the Sale and related financing transactions, we received proceeds of approximately $800 million, net of working capital adjustments and transaction expenses, which will be subject to further customary purchase price adjustments. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we concluded the assets and liabilities of Topgolf met the criteria for classification as held for sale and determined the ultimate disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Topgolf are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented, and the results of Topgolf are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented and as such have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results.
We have continuing involvement with Topgolf as we have retained a 40% ownership interest in the business, which will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We also maintain involvement primarily through ongoing sales of products, a preferred marketing agreement, a warehousing agreement, and a transition services agreement through which certain services will be provided for a period of time of up to eighteen months following the separation.
Certain revenues that were previously eliminated in consolidation as intra-entity transactions prior to the sale of Topgolf are required to be reflected in continuing operations. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, net sales and cost of sales of $3.0 million, $2.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, are now recognized in continuing operations that relate to transactions with Topgolf following its disposal. Prior to the sale, these amounts were eliminated in consolidation as intercompany revenues, intercompany cost of sales, and royalty income.
We ceased depreciating and amortizing our long-lived assets and intangible assets for the Topgolf business when it met the held for sale criteria, which primarily includes property and equipment, right-of-use assets and amortizing intangible assets. Additionally, due to the amendment of our Term Loan B requiring a mandatory repayment of $500.0 million upon the consummation of the sale of Topgolf, we attributed a portion of the interest expense incurred on our Term Loan B to discontinued operations. Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we allocated interest expense of $38.1 million, $43.5 million, and $36.8 million, respectively, from continuing operations to discontinued operations.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are subject to an impairment assessment before applying a measurement basis of fair value less cost to sell on the carrying value of the disposal group. As a result of this assessment, we determined that as of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the Topgolf trade name was above its fair value and we therefore recognized an impairment loss of $284.0 million within discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. Subsequently, we determined that the carrying amount of the disposal group exceeded its fair value less cost to sell and recorded an estimated loss on sale of $143.1 million within discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations.
Divestiture of the Jack Wolfskin Business
On May 31, 2025, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the previously disclosed Sale & Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2025 by and between the Company and Anca Holdco GmbH & Co. KG, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ANTA Sports Products Limited, we completed the sale of 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Callaway Germany Holdco GmbH, which owned various entities that operate the Jack Wolfskin business, for $290.0 million, net of cash retained and subject to net working capital and other customary adjustments. We recorded a total loss on the sale of $26.2 million within discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. Certain working capital adjustments are to be finalized over a defined period from the closing of the sale. Any resulting revisions will be settled in cash, with an offsetting impact recognized in loss on sale.
Although the Jack Wolfskin business was initially classified as held for sale, its results were not presented as discontinued operations at that time, as the disposition alone did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations. Following the sale of a majority stake in the Topgolf business, management determined that both transactions collectively represent a strategic shift to focus the Company on its core Golf Equipment and complementary soft goods businesses. As a result, the operating results of Jack Wolfskin are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
