Note 17. Segment Information
The Company has two operating segments that are organized on the basis of products and include golf clubs and golf balls. The golf clubs segment consists primarily of Callaway Golf woods, hybrids, irons and wedges, Odyssey putters, pre-owned clubs, rangefinders, and other golf-related accessories and royalties from licensing of the Company’s trademarks and service marks. The golf balls segment consists primarily of Callaway Golf balls that are designed, manufactured and sold by the Company. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company completed the sale of certain assets related to the Top-Flite and Ben Hogan brands. In addition, during the third quarter of 2012, the Company announced the transition of its North American golf apparel and footwear and global GPS device businesses to a third party based model. As such, the net sales and income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 include minimal sales of Top-Flite and Ben Hogan golf products as well as sales of golf apparel, footwear and uPro GPS on-course measurement devices. There are no significant intersegment transactions.
