Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, including a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and U.S. GAAP. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements; however, the accompanying interim notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020, nor were those of the comparable 2019 period representative of those actually experienced for the full year ended December 31, 2019. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020.
Risks and Uncertainties
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”). Through the second quarter of 2020, the Company's business was significantly disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Asia, the Company's operations were impacted earlier in the year and are at varying stages of recovery, with Korea nearly fully recovered and other markets continuing to progress. In the United States and Europe, as a result of government-ordered shutdowns, most on-course retail pro shops and off-course retail partner locations were closed for some portion of March, most of April and part of May 2020. Also, as a result of these orders, the Company was forced to temporarily close or substantially limit its operations in its manufacturing facilities and distribution centers in the United States and Europe from the end of March until mid-May 2020. During this period, the Company was largely unable to manufacture or ship products in these regions and took steps to strengthen its financial position and balance sheet, bolster its liquidity position and provide additional financial flexibility, including by reducing discretionary spending, reducing capital expenditures, suspending its share repurchase program, and amending its credit agreement. See Note 4 for additional discussion of the Company's debt and financing arrangements.
The Company has evaluated and continues to evaluate the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its consolidated financial statements, including: impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; impairment of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment; the fair value and collectability of receivables and other financial assets; the valuation of inventory; the effectiveness of foreign exchange forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which the Company enters into derivative contracts; continuing compliance with debt covenants related to the Company's credit facility; and the probability of achievement of the performance metrics related to the Company's performance stock units (“PSUs”). The primary impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 include the hedge de-designation of certain foreign exchange forward contracts deemed ineffective (Note 5) and a decrease in share-based compensation expense related to the Company's PSUs.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and, as such, the Company cannot predict the full extent of the impact to its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows. However, the business disruptions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has also made estimates related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Variable Interest Entities
VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities independently, or (ii) have equity holders that do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses, or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation, through its interests in the VIE, to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company consolidates the accounts of Acushnet Lionscore Limited, a VIE, which is 40% owned by the Company. The sole purpose of the VIE is to manufacture the Company’s golf footwear and as such, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has presented separately on its consolidated balance sheets, to the extent material, the assets of its consolidated VIE that can only be used to settle specific obligations of its consolidated VIE and the liabilities of its consolidated VIE for which creditors do not have recourse to its general credit. The general creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. Certain directors of the VIE have guaranteed the credit lines of the VIE, for which there were no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the VIE, the Company is not required to provide financial support to the VIE.
Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The ownership interests held by owners other than the Company in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries are classified as noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are those noncontrolling interests which are or may become redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon occurrence of an event. The financial results and position of the noncontrolling interests are included in their entirety in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The value attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, separately from the equity attributable to the Company. The value attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the related loan to the minority shareholders, which is recorded as a reduction to redeemable noncontrolling interest, is presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity between liabilities and shareholders’ equity. The amount of the loan to minority shareholders included in temporary equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $4.4 million as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.
Cash and Restricted Cash
Cash held in Company checking accounts is included in cash. Book overdrafts not subject to offset with other accounts with the same financial institution are classified as accounts payable. The Company classifies as restricted certain cash that is not available for use in its operations. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount of restricted cash included in cash and restricted cash on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $2.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, "Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. The CECL methodology requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of
expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables.
The only financial assets held by the Company that are subject to evaluation under the CECL model are trade receivables. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the carrying value of trade receivables. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable U.S. GAAP.
The Company estimates expected credit losses using a number of factors, including customer credit ratings, age of receivables, historical credit loss information and current and forecasted economic conditions (including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) which could affect the collectability of the reported amounts. All of these factors have been considered in the estimate of expected credit losses as of June 30, 2020.
The activity related to the allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented was as follows:

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles -Goodwill and Other -Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract" ("ASU 2018-15"). The amendments in this update aligned the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) -Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Defined Benefit Plans—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation —Retirement Benefits —Defined Benefit Plans —General (Subtopic 715-20) —Disclosure Framework —Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans" ("ASU 2018-14"). The amendments in this update remove defined benefit plan disclosures that are no longer considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard should be applied to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company has defined warranties generally ranging from one to two years. Products covered by the defined warranty policies primarily include all Titleist golf products, FootJoy golf shoes and FootJoy golf outerwear. These product warranties generally obligate the Company to pay for the cost of replacement products, including the cost of shipping replacement products to its customers. The estimated cost of satisfying future warranty claims is accrued at the time the sale is recorded. In estimating future warranty obligations, the Company considers various factors, including its warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims and the cost to replace or repair products under warranty.

Credit Facility
The credit facility includes a revolving credit facility and a term loan facility. There were outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $173.8 million and $50.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The weighted average interest rate applicable to these outstanding borrowings was 1.46% and 3.54% as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The credit agreement contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including, among others, financial covenants based on the Company's leverage and interest coverage ratios. See further discussion below regarding the Company's credit agreement and subsequent amendments to its leverage and interest coverage ratios. The credit agreement also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations to be immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.
On April 1, 2020, the Company drew down $200.0 million under its revolving credit facility which it subsequently repaid on June 30, 2020.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company had available borrowings under its revolving credit facility of $219.6 million after giving effect to $6.6 million of outstanding letters of credit.
On July 3, 2020, the Company amended its credit agreement dated December 23, 2019 (the “First Amendment”). The First Amendment amends the credit agreement to, among other things, modify the maximum net average total leverage ratio for each of the fiscal quarters ending after June 30, 2020 and on or before September 30, 2021 (for such period of time, the “Covenant Relief Period”). During the Covenant Relief Period, in lieu of complying with a maximum net average total leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00, the Company will be required to comply with maximum net average total leverage ratios of 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2020, 6.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, 4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 and 4.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021. Beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021, the Company will be required to comply with its previous maximum net average total leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00.
The First Amendment also modified the interest rate applicable to borrowings under the credit agreement during the Covenant Relief Period from a range of 1.00% - 1.75% over the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the credit agreement, which includes a 0.75% floor during the Covenant Relief Period) or 0.00% - 0.75% over the Base Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) to a range of 1.00% - 2.50% over the Eurodollar Rate or 0.00% - 1.50% over the Base Rate. The First Amendment modified the commitment fee rate payable during the Covenant Relief Period in respect of unused portions of the revolving credit facility from a range of 0.15%-0.30% to a range of 0.15%-0.45%.
During the Covenant Relief Period, the Company has the right under the amended credit agreement, to establish a new revolving credit facility (a “364-Day Revolving Credit Facility”) providing for up to $150.0 million of revolving commitments of a new class maturing no later than the earlier of (x) 364 days from establishment of such facility and (y) the latest maturity applicable to then-outstanding term loans and existing revolving credit loans under the credit facility. The lenders under the credit facility will not be under any obligation to provide commitments under a 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility, and the establishment of a 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility is subject to customary conditions precedent.
The First Amendment amends the incremental facilities provision in the credit agreement by permitting the Company to request additional term loans and/or increases to the existing revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (i) $225.0 million (the “Free and Clear Incremental Amount”) plus (ii) an unlimited amount so long as the net average secured leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) does not exceed 2.25 to 1.00 on a pro forma basis (the “Incremental Provision”). Under the amended credit agreement, the Incremental Provision is unavailable during the Covenant Relief Period. In addition, at any time that a 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility is in effect, outstanding commitments and loans under such 364-Day Revolving Credit Facility will reduce the Free and Clear Incremental Amount.
See Note 1 for further discussion on the Company's evaluation and response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other Short-Term Borrowings
The Company has certain unsecured local credit facilities available through its subsidiaries. There were outstanding borrowings under the Company's local credit facilities of $6.8 million and $3.8 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The weighted average interest rate applicable to the outstanding borrowings was 2.37% and 2.29% as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had available borrowings remaining under these local credit facilities of $59.3 million.
Letters of Credit
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were outstanding letters of credit related to agreements, including the Company's credit facility, totaling $10.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively, of which $7.1 million and $11.6 million, respectively, was secured. These agreements provided a maximum commitment for letters of credit of $60.1 million and $59.8 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative Financial InstrumentsThe Company principally uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and interest rate variability on the Company's results of operations. The principal derivative financial instruments the Company enters into are foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instrument contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Derivative Instruments
Foreign exchange forward contracts are foreign exchange derivative instruments primarily used to reduce foreign currency risk related to transactions denominated in a currency other than functional currency. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The periods of the foreign exchange forward contracts correspond to the periods of the hedged forecasted transactions, which do not exceed 24 months subsequent to the latest balance sheet date. The primary foreign exchange forward contracts pertain to the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, the British pound sterling, the Canadian dollar, the Korean won and the euro. The gross U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount outstanding of all foreign exchange forward contracts designated under hedge accounting as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $256.1 million and $287.9 million, respectively.
As a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company de-designated certain foreign exchange cash flow hedges deemed ineffective. The gross outstanding U.S. dollar equivalent notional amount of these foreign exchange forward contracts as of June 30, 2020 was $1.8 million, which is not included in the amounts above. See Note 1 for further discussion on the Company's evaluation and response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company also enters into foreign exchange forward contracts, which do not qualify as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP, to reduce foreign currency transaction risk related to certain intercompany assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than functional currency. These undesignated instruments are recorded at fair value as a derivative asset or liability with the corresponding change in fair value recognized in selling, general and administrative expense. There were no outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts not designated under hedge accounting as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Interest Rate Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate swap contracts to reduce interest rate risk related to floating rate debt. Under the contracts, the Company pays fixed and receives variable rate interest, in effect converting a portion of its floating rate debt to fixed rate debt. The interest rate swap contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the notional value of the Company's outstanding interest rate swap contracts was $140.0 million and $160.0 million, respectively.

Gains and losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax at the time the forecasted hedged transaction impacts the statement of operations or at the time the hedge is determined to be ineffective. Based on the current valuation, during the next 12 months the Company expects to reclassify a net gain of $4.8 million related to foreign exchange derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, into cost of goods sold and a net loss of $3.5 million related to interest rate derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax into interest expense, net.

Credit Risk
The Company enters into derivative contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and is exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions. This credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the derivative contracts. However, the Company monitors the credit quality of these financial institutions, as well as its own credit quality, and considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020 were as follows:

Rabbi trust assets are used to fund certain retirement obligations of the Company. The assets underlying the Rabbi trust are equity and fixed income exchange-traded funds.
Deferred compensation program assets and liabilities represent a program where select employees could defer compensation until termination of employment. Effective July 29, 2011, this program was amended to cease all employee compensation deferrals and provided for the distribution of all previously deferred employee compensation. The program remains in effect with respect to the value attributable to the employer match contributed prior to July 29, 2011.
Foreign exchange derivative instruments are foreign exchange forward contracts primarily used to limit currency risk that would otherwise result from changes in foreign exchange rates (Note 5). The Company uses the mid-price of foreign exchange forward rates as of the close of business on the valuation date to value each foreign exchange forward contract at each reporting period.
Interest rate derivative instruments are interest rate swap contracts used to reduce interest rate risk related to the Company's floating rate debt (Note 5). The valuation for the interest rate swap is calculated as the net of the discounted future cash flows of the pay and receive legs of the swap. Mid-market interest rates on the valuation date are used to create the forward curve for floating legs and discount curve.

Income Taxes Income Taxes
Income tax expense decreased by $16.8 million to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to income tax expense of $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company’s effective tax rate ("ETR") was (19.0)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 29.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change in the ETR was primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's jurisdictional mix of earnings, as well as a discrete tax benefit related to a reduction of foreign withholding taxes.
Income tax expense decreased by $21.5 million to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company’s ETR was 35.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 27.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the ETR was primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's jurisdictional mix of earnings, as well as discrete tax benefits related to both a reduction of foreign withholding taxes and a reduction in tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense.

Share Repurchase Program
As of June 30, 2020, the Board of Directors had authorized the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $100.0 million of its issued and outstanding common stock.
Share repurchases may be effected from time to time in open market or privately negotiated transactions, including transactions with affiliates, with the timing of purchases and the amount of stock purchased generally determined at the discretion of the Company consistent with the Company's general working capital needs and within the constraints of the Company’s credit agreement. As previously disclosed, in connection with this share repurchase program, the Company entered into an agreement with Magnus Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Magnus”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fila Holdings Co., to purchase from Magnus an equal amount of its common stock as it purchases on the open market, up to an aggregate of $24.9 million, at the same weighted average per share price.
In April 2020, the Company temporarily suspended stock repurchases under its share repurchase program in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has the ability to resume repurchases in its discretion. See Note 1 for further discussion on the Company's evaluation and response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Company's share repurchase activity was as follows:

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
Equity Incentive Plans Equity Incentive Plans
Under the Acushnet Holdings Corp. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2015 Plan”), the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), PSUs and other share-based and cash-based awards to members of the Board of Directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company. As of June 30, 2020, the only awards granted under the 2015 Plan were RSUs and PSUs.
Restricted Stock and Performance Stock Units
RSUs granted to members of the Board of Directors vest immediately into shares of common stock. RSUs granted to Company officers generally vest over three years, with one-third of each grant vesting annually, subject to the recipient's continued employment with the Company. RSUs granted to other employees, consultants and advisors of the Company vest in accordance with the terms of the grants, generally over three years, subject to the recipient’s continued service to the Company. PSUs vest, subject to the recipient's continued employment with the Company, based upon the Company's performance against specified metrics which are generally over a three year performance period. At the end of the performance period, the number of shares of common stock that could be issued is fixed based upon the Company's performance against these metrics. The number of shares that could be issued can range from 0% to 200% of the recipient's target award. Recipients of the awards granted under the 2015 Plan may elect to defer receipt of all or any portion of any shares of common stock issuable upon vesting to a future date elected by the recipient.
All RSUs and PSUs granted under the 2015 Plan have DERs, which entitle holders of RSUs and PSUs to the same dividend value per share as holders of common stock and can be paid in either cash or common stock. DERs are subject to the same vesting and other terms and conditions as the corresponding unvested RSUs and PSUs. DERs are paid when the underlying shares of common stock are delivered.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
The Company’s operating segments are based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) makes decisions about assessing performance and allocating resources. The Company has four reportable segments that are organized on the basis of product categories. These segments include Titleist golf balls, Titleist golf clubs, Titleist golf gear and FootJoy golf wear.
The CODM primarily evaluates performance using segment operating income (loss). Segment operating income (loss) includes directly attributable expenses and certain shared costs of corporate administration that are allocated to the reportable segments, but excludes interest expense, net, restructuring charges, the non-service cost component of net periodic benefit cost, transaction fees and other non-operating gains and losses as the Company does not allocate these to the reportable segments. The CODM does not evaluate a measure of assets when assessing performance.
Results shown for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily those which would be achieved if each segment was an unaffiliated business enterprise. There are no intersegment transactions.

Contingencies
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Acushnet Company, Beam Suntory, Inc. indemnified the Company for certain tax related obligations that relate to periods during which Fortune Brands, Inc. owned Acushnet Company. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s estimate of its receivable for these indemnifications was $9.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively, which was recorded in other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Litigation
The Company and its subsidiaries are defendants in lawsuits associated with the normal conduct of their businesses and operations. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the pending actions, and, as with any litigation, it is possible that some of these actions could be decided unfavorably. Consequently, the Company is unable to estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary loss, amounts covered by insurance or the financial impact that will result from such matters and has not recorded a liability related to potential losses.

During the first quarter of 2020, management approved a restructuring program to refine its business model and improve operational efficiencies. This program included both a voluntary bridge to retirement ("VBR") program for certain eligible employees and involuntary headcount reductions ("Other"). The VBR program is part of the Company's long-term strategic planning process and is designed to bridge eligible employees to retirement. As part of this program, employees were offered severance in the form of salary continuation, including benefits, as well as accrued bonus incentives. Costs associated with the involuntary headcount reductions include severance and other benefits related to these headcount reductions.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Acushnet Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries and less than wholly-owned subsidiaries, including a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and U.S. GAAP. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements; however, the accompanying interim notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, the financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2020, nor were those of the comparable 2019 period representative of those actually experienced for the full year ended December 31, 2019. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 27, 2020.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has also made estimates related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Variable Interest Entities
Variable Interest Entities
VIEs are entities that, by design, either (i) lack sufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities independently, or (ii) have equity holders that do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses, or the right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation, through its interests in the VIE, to absorb expected losses or the right to receive expected benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company consolidates the accounts of Acushnet Lionscore Limited, a VIE, which is 40% owned by the Company. The sole purpose of the VIE is to manufacture the Company’s golf footwear and as such, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has presented separately on its consolidated balance sheets, to the extent material, the assets of its consolidated VIE that can only be used to settle specific obligations of its consolidated VIE and the liabilities of its consolidated VIE for which creditors do not have recourse to its general credit. The general creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to the Company. Certain directors of the VIE have guaranteed the credit lines of the VIE, for which there were no outstanding borrowings as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing the VIE, the Company is not required to provide financial support to the VIE.
Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling Interests and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
The ownership interests held by owners other than the Company in less than wholly-owned subsidiaries are classified as noncontrolling interests. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are those noncontrolling interests which are or may become redeemable at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed or determinable date, at the option of the holder, or upon occurrence of an event. The financial results and position of the noncontrolling interests are included in their entirety in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The value attributable to the noncontrolling interests is presented on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, separately from the equity attributable to the Company. The value attributable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the related loan to the minority shareholders, which is recorded as a reduction to redeemable noncontrolling interest, is presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as temporary equity between liabilities and shareholders’ equity. The amount of the loan to minority shareholders included in temporary equity on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets was $4.4 million as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are presented separately on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.
Cash and Restricted Cash Cash and Restricted CashCash held in Company checking accounts is included in cash. Book overdrafts not subject to offset with other accounts with the same financial institution are classified as accounts payable. The Company classifies as restricted certain cash that is not available for use in its operations.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, "Financial Instruments -Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. The CECL methodology requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The measurement of
expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade receivables.
The only financial assets held by the Company that are subject to evaluation under the CECL model are trade receivables. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the carrying value of trade receivables. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASU 2016-13 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable U.S. GAAP.
The Company estimates expected credit losses using a number of factors, including customer credit ratings, age of receivables, historical credit loss information and current and forecasted economic conditions (including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic) which could affect the collectability of the reported amounts. All of these factors have been considered in the estimate of expected credit losses as of June 30, 2020.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) included in selling, general and administrative expense were gains of $2.6 million and losses of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Foreign currency transaction gains included in selling, general and administrative expense were $1.6 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Intangibles —Goodwill and Other —Internal-Use Software
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2018-15, "Intangibles -Goodwill and Other -Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract" ("ASU 2018-15"). The amendments in this update aligned the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Income Taxes
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes (Topic 740) -Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ("ASU 2019-12"). The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Defined Benefit Plans—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation —Retirement Benefits —Defined Benefit Plans —General (Subtopic 715-20) —Disclosure Framework —Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans" ("ASU 2018-14"). The amendments in this update remove defined benefit plan disclosures that are no longer considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard should be applied to all periods presented. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
