"While 2011 was a very challenging year for Callaway, I am pleased with the significant progress we have made over the last six months with our restructuring and reinvestment initiatives," commented Tony Thornley, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have achieved our $50 million annual savings target we began last June, implemented a flatter/more streamlined organization structure, and have begun investing a significant portion of those savings in our newly developed 2012 globally integrated brand and marketing initiatives. Critical to improving results in 2012 is a product offering that appeals to golf consumers, and we are very happy with the results of the Golf Digest's equipment review in which we netted the most medals for new products of any manufacturer and received the Editor's Choice for our new Razr Fit driver. We expect to be profitable in 2012 as the first step towards returning to industry leading returns in the coming years."

Business Outlook*

Overall for 2012, as compared to 2011, the Company expects to generate higher sales, improved gross profit margins, flat to improved operating expenses after incremental demand creation investment, and a return to overall profitability. The Company also provided more detailed guidance for the first half of 2012 as follows:

    --  Net sales are projected at $610 - $630 million compared to $559 million
        in 2011.  Second quarter sales are estimated to be higher than the first
        depending on the timing of shipments of products.
    --  Gross margins are projected to be approximately 44%, an increase of 140
        bps compared to non-GAAP gross margins of 42.6% in 2011 and should also
        be higher in the second quarter compared to the first quarter.
    --  Operating expenses are projected to be $214 million compared to non-GAAP
        operating expenses of $210 million in 2011.  The slight increase is due
        to a higher investment in marketing, which is skewed more to the first
        half of the year, and higher variable costs associated with increased
        sales, partially offset by savings from the cost reduction initiatives
        taken in 2011.  Operating expense is estimated to be evenly split
        between the first and second quarter.
    --  Non-GAAP earnings per share is estimated at $0.40 to $0.45 compared to
        $0.15 in 2011 and assumes shares outstanding at 84.6 million including
        the dilutive impact of the Company's outstanding preferred equity.

*Note: For comparability purposes, the non-GAAP results for 2012 and 2011 are derived based upon an annualized statutory tax rate of 38.5%. The Company's actual tax rates for those periods are significantly affected by the Company's deferred tax asset valuations and therefore are not directly correlated to the Company's pre-tax results. The 2011 results also exclude certain restructuring and other charges as explained toward the end of this release. No such restructuring or other charges are excluded from the 2012 estimates.

Non-GAAP Information: 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 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 intangible asset charges, (iii) non-cash tax adjustments relating to or as a result of the establishment of a deferred tax valuation allowance, (iv) restructuring charges, and (v) the gain on the sale of three buildings. The non-GAAP financial information also includes the Company's results excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, and the non-cash intangible asset charges ("Adjusted EBITDA"). For comparative purposes, the Company applied an annualized statutory tax rate of 38.5% to derive the non-GAAP income tax provision/benefit, net loss, and loss per share. 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. 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 within the press release and attached schedules.
