Competition1 | 1.8%
  • Competition - Risk 1
    We face intense competition in all of our markets, and if we are unable to compete effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

    Our golf shaft products, golf putting instruments, grips and other products exist in a highly competitive marketplace that is served by a number of well-established and well-financed companies with recognized brand names. In particular four major competitors enjoy the majority of U.S. market share in golf. With respect to golf equipment sales, new product introductions, price reductions, consignment sales, extended payment terms, "close outs", tour and advertising spending by competitors continues to generate intense market competition. Furthermore, downward pressure on pricing in the market for products like ours could have a significant adverse effect on our business. With respect to golf shaft sales, our competitors do incur significant costs in the areas of advertising, tour and other promotional support. To be competitive, we believe we also will need to incur significant expenses in tour, advertising and promotional support. In addition, we have invested, and may continue to invest in the future, significant capital into upgrades in our manufacturing and assembly facilities, including our golf shaft manufacturing facility in St. Joseph, Missouri, to maintain what we believe to be our technological and competitive advantage. Unless there is a change in competitive conditions, these competitive pressures and increased costs could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
