Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 1 . Basis of Presentation and Si gnificant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively. References to the "Company", "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (this "Form 10-Q") refer to Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries or controlled subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal 2023 and 2022 in these condensed consolidated financial statements are to the fiscal years ending or ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. Inflation and supply chain constraints, as well as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19"), continue to disrupt the U.S. and global economies and there remains uncertainty about the impact on the economy. We cannot estimate with any certainty the length or severity of the economic uncertainties or the related financial consequences on our business and operations, including whether and when historic economic and operating conditions will resume or the extent to which the disruption may impact our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management expects economic uncertainties including inflation and supply chain constraints to continue to impact several areas of the business including sales, cost of goods, operating expenses and cash flows. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. In addition, financial results presented for this fiscal 2023 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 or any other future interim or annual period. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, filed with the SEC on September 13, 2022. The June 30, 2022 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Going Concern The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. While the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of December 31, 2022, absent a waiver or an amendment to its loan agreement, the Company anticipates that we will not meet certain financial debt covenants in the next 12 months, as required per our Second A&R Loan and Security Agreement (defined in Note 10), which would constitute an event of default, which if not waived, can result in the potential acceleration of outstanding debt thereunder. If an event of default occurs under the Second A&R Loan and Security Agreement and the lender accelerates the maturity of the debt thereunder, the Company may not have sufficient cash to repay the outstanding debt. In response to these conditions, management has begun to actively engage in conversations with the lender of the Second A&R Loan and Security Agreement regarding amendments and waivers to the related financial covenants, however, whether an amendment or waiver is obtained is not within the Company's control, and therefore cannot be deemed probable. During the third fiscal quarter of 2023 which ended March 31, 2023, the Company implemented several cost reduction and revenue enhancing initiatives to improve its financial results and cash flow from operations. This included reducing the workforce by approximately 4 %. In addition, we have strategically raised prices across the Direct-to-Consumer segment, increased certain shipping fees and restructured customer contracts to reduce freight costs. These efforts are expected to have an annualized benefit of $ 10 million to operating income exclusive of the $ 2 million in costs we incurred during the three months ending March 31, 2023 to affect the changes. Furthermore, we are contemplating developing a comprehensive business development and restructuring plan including the evaluation of several options for further cost reductions. We expect we can improve operating results through customer contract renegotiations, simplification of the business, focusing resources on key brands and an elimination of less profitable SKUs (stock keeping unit). As part of the process, we are also evaluating further asset monetization opportunities to generate cash to reduce debt. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to successfully implement these strategies, or if successfully implemented, that we will see the expected benefits from such strategies. Additionally, there can be no assurances that any benefits from cost reduction strategies will enable the Company to remain in compliance with its financial covenants or provide the Company with sufficient cash to pay the outstanding debt on the Second A&R Loan and Security Agreement if accelerated by the lender. As a result of these uncertainties, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements were issued. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Significant Accounting Policies A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended December 31, 2022. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognized from the sale of wine, spirits and cider, accounting for income taxes, the net realizable value of inventory, estimated fair values of intangible assets in acquisitions, intangible assets and goodwill for impairment, amortization methods and stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, we reclassified $ 1.8 million of restricted cash from restricted cash to cash and cash equivalents and reclassified $ 1.2 million and $ 1.9 million of amortization expense from selling, general and administrative expenses to amortization expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheet that sums to the total of the same such amounts as shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows: (in thousands) December 31, 2022 June 30, 2022 Cash and cash equivalents $ 44,506 $ 45,492 Restricted cash - 4,800 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as shown in the consolidated statement of cash flows $ 44,506 $ 50,292 In connection with the amended and restated loan and security agreement (see Note 10), the Company entered into a Deposit Control Agreement which required $ 4.8 million of the total cash received to be placed into a restricted cash collateral account, subject to release upon the completion of certain construction work and certificates of occupancy associated with the Ray's Station production facility. In July 2022, the Deposit Control Agreement was terminated upon certification that the conditions to Ray's Station were satisfied. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): and its related amendments as of July 1, 2022, see “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” below. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount. We consider an account past due on the first day following its due date. We monitor past due accounts periodically and establish appropriate reserves to cover expected losses, and consider historical experience, the current economic environment, customer credit ratings or bankruptcies and reasonable and supportable forecasts to develop our allowance for expected credit losses. We review these factors quarterly to determine if any adjustments are needed to the allowance. Account balances are written-off against the established allowance when we feel it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The provision for doubtful accounts for the periods ended December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, was $ 0.5 million and $ 0.1 million, respectively. We do not accrue interest on past-due amounts. Bad debt expense was insignificant for all reporting periods presented. Other receivables include insurance related receivables, income tax receivable and other miscellaneous receivables. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table summarizes revenue by geographic region: Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Geographic regions: United States $ 77,236 $ 81,977 $ 153,928 $ 136,127 International 757 1,634 1,294 3,171 Total net revenue $ 77,993 $ 83,611 $ 155,222 $ 139,298 The following table provides a disaggregation of revenue based on the pattern of revenue recognition: Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Point in time $ 68,415 $ 68,124 $ 132,943 $ 114,946 Over a period of time 9,578 15,487 22,279 24,352 Total net revenue $ 77,993 $ 83,611 $ 155,222 $ 139,298 Concentrations of Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. We maintain the majority of our cash balances at multiple financial institutions that management believes are of high-credit quality and financially stable. At times, we have cash deposited with major financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. At December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, we had $ 43.2 million and $ 49.0 million respectively, in major financial institutions in excess of FDIC insurance limits. We sell the majority of our wine through U.S. distributors and the Direct-to-Consumer channel. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized. We attempt to limit our credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintaining adequate allowances for potential credit losses. The following table summarizes customer concentration of: Three Months Ended December 31, Six Months Ended December 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Revenue as a percent of total revenue Customer A * 15.9 % 18.6 % 19.8 % Customer B * * * 10.2 % Customer C * 13.1 % * 11.4 % Customer D * * * * Customer E * * * * The following table summarizes customer concentration of: December 31, 2022 June 30, 2022 Receivables as a percent of total receivables Customer A 34.9 % 26.0 % Customer B * * Customer C * * Customer D 10.2 % * Customer E 20.7 % * * Customer revenue or receivables did not exceed 10% in the respective periods. Revenue for sales from Customer A are included within the Wholesale and Business-to-Business reporting segments and Customer C are included within the Business-to-Business reporting segment. Principal vs. Agent Considerations As part of our revenue recognition process, we evaluate whether we are the principal or agent for the performance obligations in our contracts with customers. When we determine that we are the principal for a performance obligation, we recognize revenue for that performance obligation on a gross basis. When we determine that we are an agent for a performance obligation, we recognize revenue for that performance obligation net of the related costs. In determining whether we are the principal or the agent, we evaluate whether we have control of the goods or services before we transfer the goods or services to the customer by considering whether we are primarily obligated for transferring the goods or services to the customer, whether we have inventory risk for the goods or services before the goods or services are transferred to the customer, and whether we have latitude in establishing prices. Inventories Inventories of bulk and bottled wines, spirits, and ciders and inventories of non-wine products and bottling and packaging supplies are valued at the lower of cost using the FIFO method or net realizable value. Costs associated with winemaking, and other costs associated with the manufacturing of products for resale, are recorded as inventory. Net realizable value is the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with either the eventual sale or the disposal of the asset in question. Inventories are classified as current assets in accordance with recognized industry practice, although most wines and spirits are aged for periods longer than one year. Leases The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842") and its related amendments as of July 1, 2022, see “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” below. The Company has both operating leases and finance leases. The Company’s non-cancelable leases for winery facilities, vineyards, corporate and administrative offices, tasting rooms, and some equipment are classified as operating leases. The Company’s non-cancelable leases for certain equipment that include a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term are classified as finance leases. The Company recognizes a right of use (“ROU”) asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and related lease liabilities representing its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The ROU asset also includes adjustments for lease incentives receivable, deferred rent and prepaid rent when applicable. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease obligations for its short-term leases, which are defined as leases with an initial term of 12 months or less. However, the Company will recognize these lease payments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss) on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation is incurred. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, the right-of-use asset is amortized to amortization expense and interest expense is recorded in connection with the lease liability. Payments under lease arrangements are primarily fixed, however, most lease agreements also contain some variable payments. Variable lease payments other than those that depend on an index or a rate are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities. These amounts primarily include payments for taxes, parking and common area expenses. See Note 9. Assets Held for Sale The Company classifies an asset group (‘asset’) as held for sale in the period that (i) it has approved and committed to a plan to sell the asset, (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to sell the asset have been initiated, (iv) the sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year (subject to certain events or circumstances), (v) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. The Company initially and subsequently measures a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are generally not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset until the date of sale. Upon designation as an asset held for sale, the Company stops recording depreciation or amortization expense on the asset. The Company assesses the fair value of assets held for sale less any costs to sell at each reporting period until the asset is no longer classified as held for sale. Casualty Gains We suffered smoke-tainted inventory damage resulting from the October 2017 Napa and Sonoma County wildfires. We filed an insurance claim for this damage, which was settled in fiscal 2021 for approximately $ 3.8 million, net of legal costs. In fiscal 2022, we received an additional $ 2.7 million, net of legal costs, related to wildfire claims. In fiscal 2023, we received an additional $ 1.4 million. The gain of litigation proceeds consists of payments we received from our insurer. Segment Information We operate in three reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the segment level. Earnings Per Share Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, stock options and warrants to purchase common stock are considered potentially dilutive securities but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is antidilutive. As a result, in certain periods, diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per share for the periods presented. The Company does not pay dividends or have participating shares outstanding. Emerging Growth Company Status We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In December 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2022-06: Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which defers the sunset date of ASU 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate, and other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued, to alternative reference rates. After December 31, 2024, entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company determined that adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification 842 or "Topic 842", which supersedes the guidance in ASC 840, Leases . The new standard, as amended by subsequent ASUs on Topic 842 and recent extensions issued by the FASB in response to COVID-19, requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of its classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are accounted for in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective July 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach, whereby we recognized a transition adjustment at the effective date of Topic 842, rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Prior period information was not restated. In addition, the Company applied the package of transition practical expedients, which allows the Company to carryforward its population of existing leases, the classification of each lease and the treatment of initial direct costs as of the period of adoption. The Company did not elect the practical expedient related to hindsight analysis which allows a lessee to use hindsight in determining the lease term and in assessing impairment of the entity’s ROU assets. The Company identified the population of real estate and equipment leases to which the guidance applies and implemented changes in its systems, procedures and controls relating to how lease information is obtained, processed and analyzed. Upon adoption, the Company recognized $ 37.6 million in ROU assets that represent the Company's right to use the underlying assets for the lease term and $ 39.2 million in lease obligations that represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The ROU assets recognized upon adoption of Topic 842, included the reclassification of approximately $ 2.1 million of deferred rent and $ 0.4 million of prepaid rent. See Note 9. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) : Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , as amended, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, as amended effective July 1, 2022. We consider historical experience, the current economic environment, customer credit ratings or bankruptcies, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to develop our allowance for credit losses. We review these factors quarterly to determine if any adjustments are needed to the allowance. This guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements The recently issued accounting pronouncements are not expected to have an impact on the Company. |
