SPGC Sacks Parente Golf Inc

Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPGC), (the “Company” or “Sacks Parente”), a technology-forward golf company with a growing portfolio of golf products, including putting instruments, golf shafts, golf grips, and other golf-related accessories, reports financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and provides a business update.

Recent Corporate Highlights

• Completed Initial Public Offering (IPO) transaction in mid-August 2023 that raised $11.6 million in proceeds, net of underwriting fees
• Third quarter revenue growth increased 98% year-over-year
• Appointed golf industry veteran Scott White as Chief Operating Officer

Timothy Triplett, Sacks Parente Golf’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “With the proceeds from our recent IPO, we have continued to build out our Missouri manufacturing facility in preparation for increased production of both our Sacks Parente putters and our soon-to-be-launched new line of Newton carbon fiber shafts. Just as our line of putters have been shown in independent testing to lead to more made putts, early test data on our Newton shafts confirm our expectations that golfers will enjoy more accurate control from their drives. From the first tee shot to the final putt, we are convinced golfers of all ages and skill levels should be able to benefit from our advanced product lines.

“Revenue in the third quarter increased 98% year-over-year and was positively impacted by increased shipments of our Sacks Parente line of putters to our distributor in Korea. Korea is the world’s third largest golf market, and also the fastest growing golf market, and a key strategic goal of the Company over the next few years is growing international sales to meaningful levels,” concluded Mr. Triplett.
