Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company has leased retail and office space and has entered into various other agreements in conducting its business. At inception, the Company determines whether an agreement represents a lease, and at commencement the Company evaluates each lease agreement to determine whether the lease is an operating or financing lease. Some of the Company’s lease agreements have contained renewal options, tenant improvement allowances and rent escalation clauses. Pursuant to ASU 2016-02, all of the Company’s leases outstanding are classified as operating leases. Right-of-use lease assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and the lease obligation represents the Company’s commitment to make the lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use lease assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company has used an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The right-of-use lease asset includes any lease payments made prior to commencement and excludes any lease incentives. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, subject to any changes in the lease or expectation regarding the terms. Variable lease costs such as common area costs and property taxes are expensed as incurred. For all lease agreements, the Company combines lease and non-lease components, and leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company completed the relocation of its administrative offices from the leased location at 2700 Napa Valley Corporate Drive, Suite B, Napa, California 94558 to its wholly-owned winery, Pine Ridge Vineyards, located at 5901 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558. As a result, the Company recorded a full impairment of the carrying value of the associated right-of-use lease asset component as of December 31, 2020. The lease obligations remained on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 and will continue to be amortized through the lease end date or earlier if the Company and the lessor are able to reach an early lease termination agreement. Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases is as follows (in thousands): March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Liabilities: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ 174 $ 161 Other non-current liabilities 47 94 Total operating lease liabilities $ 221 $ 255 Weighted Average Remaining Lease Term Operating leases 1.25 years 1.50 years Weighted Average Discount Rate Operating leases 5.22 % 5.22 % Maturities of lease liabilities are as follows (in thousands): Amortization Remainder of 2021 $ 127 2022 94 Total $ 221 Base rent expense was less than $0.1 million and for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Of the base rent expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, less than $0.1 million relates to the lease liability referred to in this footnote. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities as part of operating cash flows was less than $0.1 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020. Litigation The Company and its subsidiaries may become parties to legal proceedings that are considered to be either ordinary, routine litigation incidental to their business or not significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position or liquidity. The Company does not believe that there is any pending litigation that could have a significant adverse impact on its consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations. 2017 and 2020 Wildfires In October 2017, significant wildfires broke out in Napa, Sonoma, and surrounding counties in Northern California. Operations at two of the Company’s properties, Pine Ridge Vineyards and Seghesio Family Vineyards, were temporarily impacted due to these wildfires and then resumed shortly thereafter. At the time of the wildfires, both properties had already harvested substantially all of their 2017 estate grapes. Certain inventory on hand was impacted by power losses and smoke damage which was covered under existing insurance policies. During 2018, the Company recognized $1.1 million in insurance proceeds of which $0.6 million was offset against inventory losses and $0.5 million was included in other income, net. In October 2019 and August 2020, the Company received an additional $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, from insurance proceeds related to the October 2017 wildfires. The Company recorded both of the proceeds amounts in other income, net. In August and September 2020, a series of major wildfires broke out in regions across the Western United States, including Napa and Sonoma counties in California, as well as Umatilla and Yamhill Counties in Oregon, where the Company has Direct to Consumer tasting rooms, farming operations, and wine-making facilities. Operations at some of the Company’s properties were impacted by smoke which caused damage to grapes in the vineyard properties and traffic reduction at the Company’s tasting rooms. In order to assess grape inventory losses, the Company sent grape samples to independent testing labs for evaluations. During 2020, the Company recognized $3.5 million in inventory losses for the 2020 vintage. The Company was selective in its evaluations of grape inventory for smoke taint damages in order to maintain its high standards for quality of wine. Some of the inventory losses and smoke damage to grapes are partially covered under existing crop insurance policies for which the Company currently has open claims pending. Although the Company anticipates settlements for insurance proceeds from the Company’s insurance policies, these amounts cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As of March 31, 2021, no insurance proceeds related to the 2020 vintage inventory losses have been collected. COVID-19 In March 2020, the coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) outbreak was declared a national public health emergency which continues to affect the world and has adversely impacted global activity and contributed to significant economic declines and volatility in financial markets. The outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and be followed by a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The outbreak has adversely impacted the Company’s tasting room visitations, On-Premise business, and special events. The outbreak presents uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company, its future performance and financial results. On March 16, 2020, with the exception of key operations personnel, the Company shifted its corporate office staff to remote workstations, which has been an effective transition to date. The Company will continue to operate remotely until management determines it is safe for employees to return to offices. The Company has not experienced nor does it anticipate significant impact or disruptions to its supply chain network. On March 16, 2020, the Company temporarily closed all of its tasting rooms, which are located in California, Oregon, and Washington, in compliance with shelter-in-place orders issued by local government offices. Following months of closures, each of the aforementioned states issued reopening guidelines and metrics that counties must achieve prior to businesses reopening. After remaining closed for nearly all of the second quarter and complying with reopening guidelines, the Company’s tasting rooms reopened during June 2020 in limited capacity and operating hours, and with additional safety measures in place. In the first several weeks of July 2020, businesses located in several Northern California counties were required to shut down indoor dining and winery tasting rooms. In late July 2020, the State of Washington required the shutdown of wineries, regardless of whether food is served. During this period, while the State of Oregon allowed indoor wine tastings with noted restrictions, the Company’s Oregon-based tasting room, Archery Summit, operated almost entirely outdoors. Although outdoor operations were allowed to resume in August, COVID-19 containment measures and the 2020 wildfires limited the amount of traffic at the Company’s tasting rooms. In mid-November 2020, further government restrictions and shutdown orders were issued for the State of Oregon with California and Washington following suit in December 2020, resulting in either shutdowns or outdoor-only tastings for all of the Company’s tasting rooms. All of the Company’s tasting rooms were allowed to reopen on a limited or restricted basis in late January 2021. All of the Company’s tasting rooms have been impacted by government orders and restrictions to significant and varying degrees at times. Much of the aforementioned restrictions or shutdowns of the operations of winery tasting rooms remain in place. Management and staff at all estate locations have taken the appropriate steps to continue accommodations for outdoor tastings, when permitted, to ensure the safety of all guests and staff. In addition to limiting the number of guests and requiring reservations, the Company has implemented various measures to prevent the spread of the virus including using available forms of PPE, assigning tasting room staff to discrete guest parties to limit contact exposure, screening workers before they enter facilities, practicing social distancing, implementing COVID-19 protocols and travel guidelines, and advising employees to adhere to prevention measures recommended by the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”). The extent of COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s financials and results of operations will depend on the length of time that the pandemic continues, the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic, and its effect on the demand for the Company’s products and supply chain. The Company cannot at this time predict the full impact of COVID-19, but it could have a larger impact on the Company’s financial and operational results beyond what is discussed in this Report. |
