Callaway's CEO said the actions taken by the company will prove beneficial over the long term.

Carlsbad-based golf equipment maker Callaway Golf Co. announced today it lost $83 million in its third quarter, or $1.33 per share.

The results compare to a loss of $44 million, or $1.01 per share, in the same period last year.

For the first nine months of this year, the company lost $45 million, or 91 cents per share, compared to a loss of $31 million, or $1.81 per share, in the first three quarters of 2011.

The company also announced that it reduced third-quarter expenses by $6 million compared to last year, for a total savings of $15 million for this year to date.

The improvement was offset by the sale of the Top-Flite and Ben Hogan brands earlier this year, which dropped sales by $19 million for the year so far, to $714 million, the company reported.
