The Company also announced today that it was making good progress on the cost reduction initiatives it announced in July 2012 and that the Company is taking additional actions that are expected to result in an incremental $8 million in savings for a total of approximately $60 million in gross annualized savings related to the cost-reduction initiatives, with approximately $18 million being realized in 2012 and an additional $42 million expected to be realized in 2013. Taking into account the charges related to these additional actions, the Company currently estimates that the pre-tax charges associated with these initiatives will be $55 million (as compared to its prior estimate of $40 million), approximately two-thirds of which will be non-cash charges. Approximately $50 million of the charges will be incurred in 2012 with the balance being incurred in 2013.

"Our pro forma financial results for the third quarter, while mixed, were consistent with our expectations as we entered the quarter," commented Chip Brewer, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our decline in sales and gross margins during the third quarter are the result of the sale of the Top-Flite and Ben Hogan brands earlier this year as well as the sales promotions and other actions we took to stimulate sell-through on our 2012 products and prepare our business for a successful 2013. On the other hand, our results also include a decrease in operating expenses as a result of our cost reduction initiatives. Overall, our results, while not acceptable on an absolute basis, reflect many actions that should be beneficial in the long-term."

"We are continuing to make solid progress on our turnaround plan," continued Mr. Brewer. "In addition to the actions taken earlier this year, including the sale of the Top-Flite and Ben Hogan brands, the licensing of the apparel and footwear businesses, the cost-reduction initiatives, changes in senior management, and changes in our approach to product design and the sales and marketing functions, during the third quarter we also replaced a majority of our outstanding preferred stock with much less expensive 3.75% convertible debt, reached an agreement in principle on a sale/leaseback of our Chicopee, Massachusetts ball factory for a much smaller footprint and lower costs, and began transitioning to a third party based model for our GPS business. These key initiatives are all consistent with our efforts to simplify our business, focus the team on our core business of golf clubs and golf balls, and reduce our cost structure."

"I am encouraged by the progress we have made in the eight months I have been at Callaway," commented Mr. Brewer. "We are beginning to see some of the benefits of the actions we have taken in the form of reduced operating expenses and an increase in market share for the last five consecutive months in the U.S., albeit at modest levels. I am also very pleased with the changes we have made in our 2013 product line and marketing strategy, both of which will be more consumer-oriented and relevant. Although we have revised downward our full year 2012 guidance in light of continued softness in the European market and actions we plan to take in the U.S. for the balance of the year to increase sell-through and prepare for 2013, I am confident in our turnaround plans and optimistic that our results will improve significantly in 2013."

Business Outlook

The Company provided revised financial guidance, estimating that full year 2012 net sales will range from $830 to $845 million compared to $887 million in 2011. The Company's estimated decline in net sales includes the impact of actions taken by the Company during the first half of the year to streamline its business, including the sale of the Top-Flite and Ben Hogan brands and the transition of its footwear and apparel businesses to a licensing model. The Company estimates that full year pro-forma loss per share will range from $0.73 to $0.83, compared to a pro forma loss per share of $0.63 in 2011. These pro forma estimates exclude from 2012 gains and charges associated with the sale of the Top Flite/Ben Hogan brands, non-cash tax adjustments, and the charges related to the cost-reduction initiatives and exclude from 2011 charges relating to a non-cash impairment of assets, non-cash tax adjustments, global operations strategy, restructuring, and the gain on the sale of buildings in 2011.

Non-GAAP Pro Forma Information: The GAAP results contained in this press release and the financial statement schedules attached to this press release have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). To supplement the GAAP results, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP pro forma financial information. The non-GAAP financial information included in the press release and attached schedules present certain of the Company's financial results excluding charges for (i) the Company's global operations strategy, (ii) non-cash impairment charges, (iii) non-cash tax adjustments relating to or as a result of the establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance, (iv) restructuring charges, (v) the gain on the sale of three buildings, (vi) the gain recognized in connection with the sale of the Top-Flite and Ben Hogan brands, and (vii) the cost-reduction initiatives. In addition, the Company also provided additional non–GAAP information about its results, excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses as well as impairment charges ("Adjusted EBITDA"). For comparative purposes, the Company applied an annualized statutory tax rate of 38.5% to derive the non-GAAP earnings/loss per share and Adjusted EBITDA. The non-GAAP information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information may also be inconsistent with the manner in which similar measures are derived or used by other companies. Management uses such non-GAAP information for financial and operational decision-making purposes and as a means to evaluate period over period comparisons and in forecasting the Company's business going forward. Management believes that the presentation of such non-GAAP information, when considered in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP information, provides additional useful comparative information for investors in their assessment of the underlying performance of the Company's business without regard to these items. The Company has provided reconciling information in the attached schedules.

Forward-Looking Statements: Statements used in this press release that relate to future plans, events, financial results, performance or prospects, including statements relating to the estimated sales and loss per share for 2012, the estimated savings or charges (or timing thereof) related to the cost-reduction initiatives, future cost structure, success of the 2013 product line, improved results in 2013 or beyond, and the Company's recovery/turnaround, are forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Actual results may differ materially from those estimated or anticipated as a result of these unknowns or other risks and uncertainties, including continued compliance with the terms of the Company's credit facility; delays, difficulties or increased costs in the supply of components needed to manufacture the Company's products or in manufacturing the Company's products; 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.
