F&F (ISIN KR7383220001) is weighing whether to exercise its right of first refusal for TaylorMade in a deal valued at KRW 3.8 trillion. On October 15, 2026, Seoul Economic Daily reported that F&F had completed due diligence and financing preparations while retaining the contractual option to buy TaylorMade on the same terms as the preferred bidder.

Three events shape the decision

The recent chronology shows how the transaction follows an active operating year. On April 30, 2026, F&F reported first-quarter operating profit of KRW 153.5 billion, up 24.00 percent from a year earlier, according to MarketScreener. On August 3, 2026, Money Today reported second-quarter revenue of KRW 399.6 billion and operating profit of KRW 86.5 billion. On October 15, 2026, Seoul Economic Daily reported the TaylorMade buyout preparations and the right of first refusal.

What does the buyout mean for cash?

F&F had KRW 470.7 billion in cash and cash equivalents at the end of the first half of 2026, according to Seoul Economic Daily. That balance is substantially smaller than the KRW 3.8 trillion transaction value, so debt financing and liquidity management become central to the decision. The same report said F&F had secured letters of commitment from Samsung Securities, Korea Investment & Securities and Mirae Asset Securities, while TaylorMade management resistance remained a factor.

When does F&F report next?

The next earnings report is scheduled for November 16, 2026, according to TradingView. Investors will have a fresh operating update before the buyout question is resolved, with the second-quarter operating profit already 12.00 percent below the market consensus cited by Money Today.

Balance sheet sets the test

For F&F, the TaylorMade option combines an established brand asset with a much larger financing commitment than the company held in cash at the half-year mark. The November report should clarify how the weaker second-quarter earnings comparison affects the companys capacity to pursue the transaction.
