“I am very pleased to report that we have exceeded our expectations, with a strong fourth quarter that caps off an exceptional year for Duckhorn,” commented Alex Ryan, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. “Our brand equity, diversified omni-channel platform and highly flexible supply chain position us very well to capitalize on the heightened interest and demand for high-quality wine, all of which contributed to another period of robust sales and volume growth. Importantly, we continue to achieve profitable results in an environmentally sustainable manner.”

Fourth Quarter 2021 Results

Net sales		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

Note: Sum of the individual amounts may not add due to rounding.

Net sales were $70.9 million, an increase of $18.7 million, or 35.7%, versus $52.2 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was primarily attributable to 40% volume growth, which compares to 15% volume growth in the prior year period. This was partially offset by (4.6)% mix contribution, as our leading Decoy and Duckhorn Vineyard winery brands outpaced the rest of the portfolio, and Wholesale-to-Distributor sales growth exceeded the growth of our California Direct-to-Retail and DTC channels. On a like-for-like basis, pricing changes were immaterial to our results.

Gross profit was $34.4 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 32.7%, versus the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 48.5%, down 110 basis points versus the prior year period as a result of brand and channel mix shifts. Adjusted gross profit was $34.7 million, an increase of $8.2 million, or 30.9%, versus the prior year period.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $24.4 million, an increase of $8.2 million, or 50.6% versus $16.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributed to a $2.1 million increase in incentive costs resulting from the Company’s strong performance, $1.7 million in transaction expenses primarily related to the Company’s IPO in the previous fiscal quarter, an additional $1.7 million related to public company costs, namely professional fees and D&O insurance, which were not present in the prior year quarter, and $0.8 million in higher equity-based compensation.

Net income was $7.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, versus $(2.7) million, or $(0.03) per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income was $9.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus $7.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The increases to adjusted net income and EPS were due to higher net sales, lower interest expense and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by negative mix contribution due to brand and channel mix, increases in direct selling expenses generally in line with net sales growth during the period as well as public company costs.

Adjusted EBITDA was $18.4 million, an increase of $0.6 million, or 3.4%, versus $17.8 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely driven by higher net sale volume, partially offset by the aforementioned increases in incentive costs, transaction expenses primarily related to the Company’s IPO, and ongoing public company costs.

Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance

Ryan continued, “As we enter our first full fiscal year as a public company, we are introducing initial guidance that we view as thoughtful and well-calibrated for the currently fluid operating environment. We remain confident in our ability to continue to well-outperform the market, and we look forward to continuing to build upon our legacy as the standard for American fine wine and long-term value creation for all stakeholders.”

In fiscal 2022, we expect to deliver adjusted EPS between $0.54 and $0.57 per diluted share versus fiscal 2021 adjusted EPS of $0.58 per diluted share. Note, the provided annual range is negatively impacted by an increase in weighted average share count of approximately nine million shares or 8% on a year-over-year basis, a function of timing related to the Company’s third quarter fiscal 2021 IPO. On a comparative basis, fiscal 2022 will also include a full year of public company costs, whereas fiscal 2021 results only include a partial year of public company costs.

Accordingly, the Company views it as useful to consider these factors in evaluating our operating performance year-over-year. On a like-for-like basis, the guidance range provided for fiscal 2022 adjusted EPS of $0.54 to $0.57 is comparable to what would be an adjusted EPS of $0.52 per share in fiscal 2021 if that year had been burdened by a full year of public company costs and assuming a diluted share count consistent with our guidance for fiscal 2022.

The following table provides the Company’s guidance range for fiscal year 2022:

(millions, except per share data and percentages)	Fiscal year ended July 31, 2022
Net sales	$	353.0		$	360.0
Adjusted EBITDA	$	118.0		$	122.0
Adjusted EPS	$	0.54		$	0.57
Diluted share count		114.5			116.5
Effective tax rate		24	%		26	%

THE DUCKHORN PORTFOLIO, INC.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted gross profit, adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS, collectively referred to as “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” are commonly used in the Company’s industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net income or earnings per share as indicators of operating performance (as determined in accordance with GAAP). These Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company has included these Non-GAAP Financial Measures because it believes the measures provide management and investors with additional information to evaluate business performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts and prior year financial results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures are adjusted to exclude certain items that affect comparability. The adjustments are itemized in the tables below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reason the Company considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating adjustments, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. The presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or recurring items.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company calculates as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash equity-based compensation expense, purchase accounting adjustments, casualty losses or gains, impairment losses, changes in the fair value of derivatives and certain other items which are not related to our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure the Company uses in evaluating its operational results. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA is a helpful measure to provide investors an understanding of how management regularly monitors the Company’s core operating performance, as well as how management makes operational and strategic decisions in allocating resources. The Company believes adjusted EBITDA also provides management and investors consistency and comparability with the Company’s past financial performance and facilitates period to period comparisons of operations, as it eliminates the effects of certain variations unrelated to its overall performance.

Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations include:

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;

• adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the Company’s working capital needs;

• adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company’s debt;

• adjusted EBITDA does not reflect income tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to the Company; and

• other companies, including companies in the Company’s industry, may calculate adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduce their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because of these limitations, you should consider adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and the Company’s other GAAP results. In evaluating adjusted EBITDA, you should 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. The Company’s presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Gross Profit

Adjusted Gross Profit is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company calculates as gross profit excluding the impact of purchase accounting adjustments (including depreciation and amortization related to purchase accounting) and bulk wine losses. We believe Adjusted Gross Profit is a useful measure to us and our investors to assist in evaluating our operating performance because it provides consistency and direct comparability with our past financial performance between fiscal periods, as the metric eliminates the effects of non-cash or other expenses unrelated to our core operating performance that would result in fluctuations in a given metric for reasons unrelated to overall continuing operating performance. Adjusted Gross Profit should not be considered a substitute for gross profit or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company calculates as net income excluding the impact of non-cash equity-based compensation expense, purchase accounting adjustments, casualty losses or gains, impairment losses, changes in the fair value of derivatives and certain other items unrelated to core operating performance, as well as the estimated income tax impacts of all such adjustments included in this non-GAAP performance measure. We believe Adjusted Net Income assists us and our investors in evaluating our performance period-over-period. In calculating Adjusted Net Income, we also calculate the following non-GAAP financial measures which adjust each GAAP-based financial measure for the relevant portion of each adjustment to reach Adjusted Net Income:

• Adjusted Net Sales – calculated as net sales excluding the impact of purchase accounting and bulk wine losses;

• Adjusted SG&A – calculated as selling, general, and administrative expenses excluding the impacts of purchase accounting, transaction expenses, equity-based compensation, and COVID-19 costs;

• Adjusted Income Tax – calculated as the tax effect of all adjustments to reach Adjusted Net Income based on the applicable blended statutory tax rate for the period.

Adjusted Net Income should not be considered a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EPS

Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company calculates as Adjusted Net Income divided by diluted share count for the applicable period. We believe Adjusted EPS is useful to us and our investors because it improves comparability of results of operations from period to period. Adjusted EPS should not be considered a substitute for net income per share or any other measure of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
