CAMARILLO, CA, Nov. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NEWTON GOLF Company (Nasdaq: SPGC) (“NEWTON GOLF” or the “Company”), a technology-forward golf company with a growing portfolio of golf products, including putters, golf shafts, golf grips, and other golf-related accessories, reports financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

- Gross margin as a percent of revenue increased from 41% in 3Q23 to 66.5% in 3Q24, and this increase was driven primarily by increased volume in manufacturing

Recent Corporate Highlights
- Announced a complete rebranding of the Company to NEWTON GOLF Company
- Launched the new Gravity Premium putter line with the introduction of five models
- Expanded the Company's global presence with the launch of the Newton Motion shafts in Japan in 50 of its largest golf retail locations
- Increased the number of professionals using the Newton Motion Shafts on the PGA TOUR Champions to 34, generating greater exposure
- Introduced the new advanced performance shafts for higher swing speeds
NEWTON GOLF Executive Chairman Greg Campbell commented, “We are encouraged by the very strong sales growth in the third quarter that was driven by the continued adoption of our Newton Motion replacement driver shafts and the first full quarter of revenue from our fairway woods replacement shafts. These revolutionary products have been a hit with professionals and amateurs alike and speak to the quality engineering and craftsmanship that go into every shaft we make. Our recent rebranding as NEWTON GOLF speaks to these very design principles that are at the foundation of our products, including the recently introduced NEWTON Golf Gravity line of putters. As an emerging golf brand, the ability of our products to connect with golfers across the world is important. We believe the early traction our products are getting here in the U.S., as well as overseas in the Japanese and Korean markets, portends well for the future growth of our entire product line.”
