Short-Term Credit Facilities and Available Liquidity
2025 Japan ABL Credit Facility
In January 2025, our Japan subsidiary entered into a new 3-year asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2025 Japan ABL Credit Facility”) with the Mizuho Bank, Ltd., which provides a line of credit to our Japan subsidiary of up to 9,000.0 million Yen (or approximately $57.4 million using the exchange rate in effect as of December 31, 2025), is subject to borrowing base availability under the facility and is secured by certain assets, including eligible inventory and accounts receivable of our Japan subsidiary which are subject to certain restrictions and covenants related to certain pledged assets and financial performance metrics. The interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings under the 2025 Japan ABL Credit Facility is subject to an effective interest rate equal to the Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (“TIBOR”) plus 0.70%.
2023 Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility
We have a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (as amended, the “2023 ABL Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. and other lenders, which provides for senior secured asset-based revolving credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $485.0 million and consists of U.S., Canadian, and U.K./Dutch facilities, in each case, subject to borrowing base availability under the applicable facility. Amounts outstanding under the 2023 ABL Credit Facility are secured by a first priority lien on certain of our assets and certain of the assets of our subsidiaries in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) and a second-priority lien on substantially all of our and such subsidiaries’ other assets (in each case, other than certain excluded assets).
The 2023 ABL Credit Facility includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions, as well as customary events of default. We are also subject to compliance with a 1.0:1.0 minimum fixed charge coverage ratio during certain specified periods in which our borrowing base availability falls below 10.0% of the maximum aggregate principal amount of the facility. The interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings under the 2023 ABL Credit Facility may fluctuate depending on our “Availability Ratio,” as defined in the loan and security agreement governing the 2023 ABL Credit Facility, and any unused portions of the 2023 ABL Credit Facility are subject to a monthly fee of 0.25% per annum.
On April 9, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the 2023 ABL Credit Facility, pursuant to which, concurrently with the completion of the sale of the Jack Wolfskin business, among other things, (a) Jack Wolfskin Ausrüstung Für Draussen GmbH & Co. KGaA was released as a borrower and a guarantor under the 2023 ABL Credit Facility, (b) a portion of the revolving commitments under the 2023 ABL Credit Facility, in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, was reallocated from the German facility thereunder (the “German Facility”) to the U.S. facility thereunder, and (c) the remainder of the German Facility was terminated.
On November 21, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the 2023 ABL Credit Facility, pursuant to which, in connection with the sale of the Topgolf business, among other things, (a) TOP GOLF USA INC. and TOPGOLF LIMITED were released as borrowers and guarantors under the 2023 ABL Credit Facility, as borrowers and guarantors under the ABL Credit Agreement, (b) Callaway TG Holdco Inc. and certain Topgolf subsidiaries were designated as unrestricted subsidiaries under the ABL Credit Facility and released as guarantors thereunder, and (c) certain financial definitions, covenants and other provisions of the ABL Credit Agreement were amended, including to reflect the consummation of the sale of the Topgolf business.
2022 Japan ABL Credit Facility
We had an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “2022 Japan ABL Credit Facility”) with the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, which provided a line of credit to our Japan subsidiary of up to 6,000.0 million Japanese Yen (or approximately $38.7 million using the exchange rate in effect as of January 31, 2025), subject to borrowing base availability under the facility and was secured by certain assets, including eligible inventory and accounts receivable of our Japan subsidiary which were subject to certain restrictions and covenants related to certain pledged assets and financial performance metrics. The interest rate applicable to outstanding borrowings under the 2022 Japan ABL Credit Facility was subject to an effective interest rate equal to the TIBOR plus 0.80%. The 2022 Japan ABL Credit Facility matured and was repaid in full on January 25, 2025.
Consolidated Available Liquidity
Consolidated available liquidity is comprised of cash on hand and amounts available under our U.S. and Japan ABL credit facilities, less outstanding letters of credit and outstanding borrowings and was $1,245.1 million as of December 31, 2025. Our estimated consolidated available liquidity was $1,021.9 million as of January 2, 2026 after receiving the $800.0 million cash proceeds for the Topgolf sale and repayment of the $1,000.0 million of outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan B. Our average availability and weighted-average interest rate under our 2023 ABL Credit Facility and 2025 Japan ABL Credit Facility were as follows for the periods presented (in millions except interest rates):

Long-Term Debt
2023 Term Loan B
In March 2023, as part of a comprehensive debt refinancing plan (the “Refinancing Plan”), we entered into a senior secured term loan B facility (as amended, the “2023 Term Loan B”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, and the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, in an original aggregate principal amount of $1,250.0 million, which was issued net of an original issuance discount of $12.5 million. As part of the Refinancing Plan, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2023 Term Loan B for the repayment of outstanding principal, interest and fees associated with our previous term loan B facility (the “2019 Term Loan B”), as well as the previous credit facilities of our Topgolf operating segment, which consisted of a senior secured term loan facility and a senior secured revolving credit facility. We accounted for the transactions associated with the Refinancing Plan and 2023 Term Loan B as a debt modification, and as a result we recognized a non-cash loss of $10.5 million within other income (expense), net, and $2.3 million of third-party fees within selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.
In March 2024, we entered into an amendment to the 2023 Term Loan B (the “First Amendment”) in order to, among other things, decrease the interest rate applicable to the outstanding term loans thereunder. The interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the 2023 Term Loan B are, at our option, a rate per annum equal to: (a) a term SOFR-based rate (“Term SOFR”) (subject to a 0% floor) plus an applicable margin of 2.75% or 3.00%, depending on our applicable debt rating, as defined in the credit agreement governing the 2023 Term Loan B; or (b) a base rate equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) the greater of the federal funds rate and the overnight bank funding rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, plus 0.50%, (B) Term SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 1.0% (and subject to a 1% floor), (C) the prime rate announced by Bank of America from time to time, and (D) 1.0%, plus (ii) an applicable margin of 1.75% or 2.00%, depending on our applicable debt rating.
The First Amendment was accounted for as a partial debt modification and partial debt extinguishment, which resulted in a non-cash loss of $4.7 million related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and original issuance discounts for prior lenders under our 2023 Term Loan B who did not participate in the First Amendment. This non-cash loss was recognized in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Additionally, we also incurred $1.1 million of fees related to the transaction, of which $0.2 million were recognized as deferred debt issuance costs and $0.9 million were recognized as selling, general and administrative expense during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The 2023 Term Loan B includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including among other things, restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, liens, dividends and other restricted payments, asset sales, investments, mergers, acquisitions and affiliate transactions, as well as customary events of default. The 2023 Term Loan B is not subject to any financial covenants and, subject to certain customary exceptions, is guaranteed by certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each such subsidiary guarantor, with priority of the liens securing the 2023 Term Loan B and the liens securing the 2023 ABL Credit Facility subject to the terms of a customary intercreditor agreement.
On December 1, 2025, we entered into an amendment to the 2023 Term Loan B, pursuant to which, in connection with the sale of the Topgolf business, among other things, (a) Callaway TG Holdco Inc. and certain Topgolf subsidiaries were designated as unrestricted subsidiaries under the 2023 Term Loan B and released as guarantors thereunder, (b) certain financial definitions, covenants and other provisions of the 2023 Term Loan B were amended, including to reflect the consummation of the sale of the Topgolf business, and to require a $500.0 million partial repayment of the 2023 Term Loan B upon the consummation of the sale of the Topgolf business, which was therefore classified as a current portion of long-term debt. In addition to these amendments, on January 1, 2026, we made a separate discretionary repayment of $500.0 million on the 2023 Term Loan B, for a total partial repayment of $1,000.0 million on the loan.
Convertible notes
We have convertible senior notes issued in May 2020 (the “Convertible Notes”) which are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and (to the extent we are not a holder thereof) preferred equity, if any, of our subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion rate of 56.8 shares per $1,000 of principal, or an initial conversion price of $17.62 per share, and interest is payable on the Convertible Notes semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. As of May 6, 2023, we have the option to settle all or part of the Convertible Notes through cash settlement, physical settlement, or combination settlement at our election, subject to certain stipulations. Additionally, all or any portion of the Convertible Notes may be converted at the conversion rate and at the holders’ option on or after February 1, 2026 until the close of business on the second trading day immediately prior to the maturity date, and upon the occurrence of certain contingent conversion events. The Convertible Notes mature on May 1, 2026, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by the Company or converted, and are reflected under current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.
In July 2022, in accordance with the terms of the indenture under which the Convertible Notes were issued, holders of our Convertible Notes elected to convert $0.5 million of Convertible Notes into 25,602 shares of our common stock. The Convertible Notes were converted at a conversion rate of 56.8 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes.
Capped Call
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (“Capped Calls”). The Capped Calls cover the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that initially underlie the Convertible Notes and are generally expected to reduce potential dilution and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make related to any conversion of the Convertible Notes. The Capped Calls, which each have an exercise price of $17.62 per share, are subject to certain adjustments and each have a cap price of $23.71 per share. The initial cost of the Capped Calls was a reduction to additional paid-in-capital on our consolidated balance sheet.
In connection with the conversion of $0.5 million of Convertible Notes in July 2022, we and the counterparties entered into a partial termination of the Capped Calls with respect to the Convertible Notes converted, which resulted us receiving 3,499 shares of our common stock from the counterparties.
Equipment Notes
We have long-term financing agreements (the “Equipment Notes”) with various lenders which we use to invest in certain facilities and information technology equipment. The loans are secured by the relative underlying equipment.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
