Vintage Wine Estates Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Results

  • Fiscal 2023 revenue of $283 million and 30.1% gross margin
  • Amended credit agreement, expected cash from operations and potential asset sales expected to provide sufficient liquidity to stabilize business and focus on growing revenue and cash flow
  • Continued progress with Five-Point Plan expected to deliver profitability, cash generation and lower debt in fiscal 2024
  • Tightened financial guidance for fiscal 2024

Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWE and VWEWW) (“VWE” or the “Company”), one of the top wine producers in the U.S. with an industry leading direct-to-consumer platform, today reported its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. These financial results reflect the impacts of the restatement of prior fiscal 2023 quarters and the related revisions of fiscal 2022 financial results. Results include Vinesse, LLC ("Vinesse") acquired on October 4, 2021, ACE Cider, acquired on November 16, 2021, and Meier's Wine Cellars, Inc. (“Meier’s”) acquired on January 18, 2022. (Note: all references to revenue are equivalent to net revenue)

Jon Moramarco, Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, "My objective these last eight months since being appointed as interim CEO has been to stabilize operations and strengthen the foundation of our business to provide a focused enterprise with which our new CEO can drive cash generation and reduce debt while delivering a great customer experience with key brands and leveraging our channels to market and top-tier estate wineries. We have made progress with further improving customer experience in our tasting rooms and maintaining our industry leading retention rates of club members with our estate properties. We have measurably improved efficiencies in our warehousing and bottling operations, meaningfully cleaned out our inventory and strengthened inventory management. Importantly, we have instituted appropriate pricing for many brands and channels. Solid shipments and depletion rates on most of our priority brands reflect the strength of the premiumization trend and our positioning in the market. We have also gained more distribution points for ACE Cider and our depletion rates demonstrate the appeal of our cider with consumers. In addition, Meier's has increased booked business by improving market penetration. We expect additional progress as we advance through our transition year of fiscal 2024.”

He added, "We still have work to do. We are further evaluating profitability of various categories of our business and relationships with certain customers. We have to strengthen brand integrity and make much needed investments in health, safety and efficiency for our facilities. Nevertheless, I am very encouraged by the energy of the VWE team, the focus on driving improvements and the opportunities in front of us."

Five-Point Plan Progress

The Company’s Five-Point Plan is centered around five priorities which include margin expansion through simplification and better execution, measurable cost reduction, disciplined cash management, monetizing assets and reducing debt and growing revenue in its key brands.

Since initiating the plan in the latter half of fiscal 2023 through the first quarter of fiscal 2024 the Company has accomplished the following:

  • Restructured the leadership team to better align with the business opportunities and create improved communications and collaboration
  • Reduced personnel headcount by a total of 7% for annualized savings of approximately $6 million
  • Reduced SKUs over 50% to less than 2,000 and managed parent SKUs from approximately 900 to 600
  • Captured approximately 2.8% on average of price
  • Improved throughput in the Hopland bottling facility by over 35%
  • Simplified warehousing operations and realigned personnel for more efficient pick and pack processes
  • Identified and executed on approximately 70% improvement in cost recovery of shipping expenses
  • Refocused resources on key brands: ACE Cider, Bar Dog, B.R. Cohn, Cameron Hughes, Cherry Pie, Firesteed, and Kunde
  • Maintained industry leading retention rates of estate winery club members
  • ACE Cider continues to gain points of distribution and expand its reach into more markets
  • Initiating a process to monetize certain assets

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights and Financial Results Review (compared with revised prior-year period unless noted otherwise)

  • Revenue of $62.1 million was down $12.2 million, or 16.4%, reflecting declines in all segments.
    • Wholesale revenue declined $2.2 million, or 10.3%, to $18.8 million as improved pricing and higher ACE Cider sales did not fully offset 3.5% declines in total wholesale case volume1. Distributor and retailer destocking and lower consumer takeaway were the primary reasons for the volume decline.
    • Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") revenue was $19.9 million down $2.6 million, or 11.7%, as higher sales of the Company's digitally-native Cameron Hughes brand helped to offset weaker e-commerce sales. Total revenue decline was partially offset by higher revenue per case.
    • Business-to-Business ("B2B") revenue was $23.4 million, down $7.1 million, or 23.4%, due primarily to a $3.4 million decline related to the elimination of a less profitable, private label sales program for a major retailer and $2.1 million reduction in bulk distilled alcohol sales.
  • Gross profit was $16.6 million, or 26.8% of sales, compared with $7.5 million, or 10.1% of sales, in the prior-year period. Improvements in productivity and throughput in the Company's largest bottling facility as well as improved pricing, efficiencies gained with supply chain and operational improvements and SKU reductions helped to offset the loss of higher margin bulk distilled spirits sales.

    Fiscal 2022's fourth quarter was impacted by $19.1 million of non-cash inventory adjustments.
  • Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") declined $3.0 million, or 9.5%, to $28.3 million. The decline was the result of business realignment efforts in the third quarter of fiscal 2023, as well as other cost containment measures.
  • Loss from operations was $50.2 million, compared with loss from operations of $20.1 million in the prior year quarter. Operating loss reflected goodwill impairment charges of $20.7 million, a $9.8 million loss on the sale of assets in the quarter as well as intangible asset impairments of $3.6 million which more than offset improvements in gross profit.
  • Interest expense for the quarter was $5.1 million, up $2.0 million from the prior-year period reflecting higher rates resulting from the debt refinancing that occurred in December 2022 and also due to the sale of two interest rate swap agreements in March 2023.
  • Net loss available to VWE common shareholders was $47.8 million, compared with net loss of $16.9 million in the prior-year period. On a per diluted share basis, net loss available to VWE common shareholders was $0.81 compared with net loss of $0.28 per diluted share in the prior-year period.
  • Adjusted net loss2, which excludes amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions and other unusual items, was $14.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share.
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 for the quarter was a $10.5 million loss compared with adjusted EBITDA loss of $13.0 million in the prior-year quarter.

1Case Volume is a Key Performance Measure (“KPI”). Please see related disclosures regarding the use of this KPI in this news release.

2As referenced here and throughout the release, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Please see related disclosures regarding the use of non-GAAP measures in this news release.

Fiscal Year 2023 Highlights and Financial Results Review (compared with revised prior-year results unless noted otherwise)

  • Revenue of $283.2 million was down $9.6 million, or 3.3%. The decline was primarily related to the discontinuation of a less profitable custom program. Acquisitions contributed $21.0 million in revenue for the year.
    • Wholesale revenue increased $2.8 million, or 3.3%, to $86.7 million reflecting $8.3 million in acquired revenue related to ACE Cider. This was partially offset by slowing consumer discretionary spending trends at retail. Wholesale revenue comprised 31% of total revenue for the year.
    • B2B revenue declined $0.7 million, or 0.6%, to $113.2 million. Improved throughput in custom production and the contribution of Meier's for the full year helped to offset the $13.9 million decline related to the elimination of a less profitable bottled distilled spirits program and the $4.2 million reduction in bulk distilled spirits sales. B2B revenue represented 40% of total revenue in fiscal 2023.
    • DTC revenue decreased $8.8 million, or 9.6%, to $83.4 million. Improvements in Cameron Hughes, the Company's digitally-native key brand, was not sufficient to offset the $8.0 million decline in sales through e-commerce and a major television retailer as well as decreased sales through wine clubs and softer tasting room traffic. DTC comprised 29% of total revenue for the year.
  • Gross profit declined $3.7 million to $85.2 million, or 30.1% of sales. Improved pricing and increased productivity helped to offset higher cider costs.
  • SG&A increased $21.5 million, or 22.1%, to $118.4 million. The increase was primarily related to an increase in nonrecurring expenses related to historic and unconsummated acquisitions of $5.3 million, an increase in payroll-related costs of $3.8 million, an increase in legal and audit fees of $3.6 million, and a $2.1 million increase from business realignment costs.
  • Loss from operations was $208.8 million, compared with loss from operations of $7.9 million in the prior year. The loss reflects the impact of $162.2 million in goodwill and intangible assets impairment and $8.3 million loss from the sale of assets.
  • Interest expense for fiscal 2023 was $18.4 million, an increase of $4.5 million reflecting increased rates resulting from the debt refinancing that occurred in December 2022 and also due to the sale of interest rate swaps in March 2023
  • Net loss available to VWE common shareholders was $189.0 million, compared with net loss of $0.4 million in the prior year. On a per diluted share basis, net loss available to VWE common shareholders was $3.20 compared with net loss of $0.30 per diluted share in the prior year.
  • Adjusted net loss2, which excludes amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions among other adjustments, was $21.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share compared with adjusted net loss of $18.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share in the prior year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 for the year was an $11.4 million loss compared with adjusted EBITDA of $16.3 million in the prior year.

Strong Balance Sheet with Financial Flexibility

Liquidity

At fiscal year end, the Company had approximately $54 million in liquidity comprised of $18.2 million in cash and approximately $35.9 million available under its revolving line of credit.

During fiscal 2023, the Company reduced total debt by $24.9 million to $303.3 million at June 30, 2023, primarily using the proceeds from the sale of assets. Separately today, the Company announced that it has amended its credit agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") to, among other things, waive existing events of default, redefine financial covenants and allow for additional types of asset sales up to $60 million. Collateral underlying the Amended Credit Agreement includes real estate valued at approximately $215 million plus receivables and bulk and cased inventory. The Company intends to market certain assets assuming a return of fair value.

The Company believes that the availability on its revolver, strong working capital management and asset monetization efforts will be sufficient to execute its operating plan and meet required debt service over the next twelve months.

Kristina L. Johnston, Chief Financial Officer, noted, "We believe the Amended Credit Agreement together with our focused cash management and operational improvements to generate cash in fiscal 2024 provide the necessary liquidity to execute on our plans. In addition, we intend to market certain assets at fair value. We believe these efforts during our transition year will support our ability to make the required principal payments in fiscal 2024 to avoid higher interest rates and achieve our goal to reduce debt."

Capital Investments

Capital expenditures were $2.9 million for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter and $14.2 million for the year. Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter and full year fiscal 2022 were $9.1 million and $24.8 million, respectively. Higher capital expenditures in fiscal 2022 were the result of the expansion of the Hopland bottling operations. Fiscal 2023 capital expenditures included increased barrel capacity, barrels, installment of the solar power system at the Hopland facility, upgrading the Firesteed tasting room, vineyard development and other productivity and safety enhancements. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2024 are expected to be approximately $12 million.

Fiscal Year 2024 Outlook

VWE's expectations for fiscal 2024 have been refined from its preliminary expectations provided on July 20, 2023. The Company expects the following to be driven by execution of its restructuring and Five-Point Plan:

Revenue:

 

Approximately $260 million to $270 million

Gross margin:

 

Approximately 38%, an estimated 800 basis point improvement on lower volume

SG&A(excludes amortization expense):

 

Approximately $98 million, excluding restructuring costs

Depreciation expense:

Non-cash amortization expense:

 

Approximately $16 million

Approximately $6.1 million

Estimated restructuring charges:

 

$5 million to $6 million

Lower expected revenue in fiscal 2024 primarily reflects approximately $33 million related to lower sales of aged bulk whiskey inventory due to depleting inventory, $6 million related to the discontinued bottled spirits program and an estimated $9 million related to SKU rationalization. These declines are expected to be somewhat offset by improved pricing and higher volume in select brands. For fiscal 2024, SG&A excludes restructuring costs and executive stock-based compensation awards expected with new leadership.

About Vintage Wine Estates, Inc.

Vintage Wine Estates is a family of wineries and wines whose singular focus is producing the best quality wines and incredible customer experiences with wineries throughout Napa, Sonoma, California’s Central Coast, Oregon, and Washington State. Since its founding 20 years ago, the Company has grown to be the 14th largest wine producer in the U.S., selling more than 2.2 million nine-liter equivalent cases annually. With approximately 40 brands, key focus brands include ACE Cider, Bar Dog, B.R. Cohn, Cameron Hughes, Cherry Pie, Firesteed, and Kunde, many of which have achieved critical acclaim. To consistently drive growth, the Company curates, creates, stewards, and markets its many brands and services to customers and end consumers via a balanced omni-channel strategy encompassing direct-to-consumer, wholesale, and private label and custom wine making services. While VWE is diverse across price points and varietals with brands ranging from $10 to $150 USD at retail, its primary focus is on the fastest growing luxury segment of the U.S. wine industry with the majority of brands selling in the range of $10 to $20 per bottle. The Company regularly posts updates and additional information at vintagewineestates.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting net income/(loss) and net income/(loss) margin prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), VWE uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) per share to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings/(loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, casualty losses or gains, impairment losses, changes in the fair value of derivatives, restructuring related income or expenses, acquisition and integration costs, and certain non-cash, nonrecurring, or other items that are included in net income that VWE does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBTIDA margin is the ratio of adjusted EBITDA to net revenue. Adjusted net income/(loss) is defined as net income/(loss) as reported adjusted for the impacts of amortization of intangible assets, acquisition integration costs, gains or losses on disposition of assets, gain on litigation of proceeds, COVID impact, and inventory acquisition basis adjustment and also adjusted for a normalized tax rate. Adjusted net income/(loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) per share are not recognized measures of financial performance under GAAP. VWE believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the underlying trends of VWE’s business and assist in analyzing VWE’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that VWE does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, which allows for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income/(loss), and adjusted net income/(loss) per share have certain limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures, as presented, may produce results that vary from the most comparable GAAP measure and may not be comparable with a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.

In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income/(loss), and adjusted net income/(loss) per share, be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. VWE’s presentation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income/(loss), and adjusted net income/(loss) per share should not be construed as an implication that future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculation of these non-GAAP measures.

Key Performance Indicators

A key performance indicator ("KPI") is generally defined as a quantifiable measurement or metric used to gauge performance, specifically to help determine strategic, financial, and operational achievements, especially compared to those of similar businesses.

Case volumes represents the number of 9-liter equivalent cases of wine that we sell during a particular period. Case volumes are an important indicator of what is driving gross margin. This metric also allows us to develop our supply and production targets for future periods.
