In early August 2026 Callaway Golf reported its second‑quarter results, showing a modest 2.0% year‑over‑year rise in net sales to $612.2 million, driven mainly by a 4.5% increase in its Golf Equipment segment. Margins expanded sharply, aided by a $10.8 million tariff refund, and earnings per share beat expectations.

A few days later the company released its first‑half‑year figures, revealing a stronger overall performance. Net sales for the first half of fiscal 2026 grew 5.7% year‑on‑year to $12.99 billion, and adjusted EBITDA jumped 33.1% to $2.886 billion. Operating profit rose 38.4% to $1.507 billion, with clubs and golf balls continuing to drive growth while the apparel and other segments fell 3.6% in the second quarter. The later report confirmed the upward trend indicated by the Q2 data and underscored Callaway’s focus on its core equipment lines.
