Net Income of $17.9 million; Adjusted Net Income of $19.5 million
Adjusted EBITDA of $34.3 million
Raises Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance

ST. HELENA, Calif.--()--The Duckhorn Portfolio, Inc. (NYSE: NAPA) (the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the three months ended January 31, 2022.

Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

  • Net sales were $98.7 million, an increase of $15.1 million, or 18.0%, versus the prior year period.
  • Gross profit was $49.5 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 18.5%, versus the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $49.7 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 16.5%, versus the prior year period.
  • Net income was $17.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, versus $22.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the prior year period; adjusted net income was $19.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, versus $16.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income increased $3.7 million, or 23.6%, when compared against the prior year period, and adjusted earnings per share would have been $0.14 per diluted share in the prior year period if similarly burdened by public company costs and using the Fiscal 2022 diluted share count.
  • Adjusted EBITDA was $34.3 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 6.6%, versus the prior year period. The most recent period’s calculation includes public company costs that did not exist in the prior year period when the Company was private. Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.5 million, or 11.5%, versus the prior year period when comparing adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter against the prior year period similarly burdened by public company costs.
  • Cash was $4.8 million as of January 31, 2022, with a leverage ratio of 2.0x net debt (net of deferred financing costs) to trailing twelve months adjusted EBITDA.

“We are pleased with our impressive second quarter results as we delivered double-digit organic sales and volume growth and continued to outperform the high-growth luxury wine industry,” commented Alex Ryan, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. “Leading the growth for the quarter were our flagship winery brands, Duckhorn Vineyards and Decoy, as they appeal to a broad group of consumers given their exceptional quality and accessible price points as luxury wines. The brands continued to see distribution growth across a variety of demographics and their power to expand into new price points gives us confidence that they will produce industry-leading results over the long-term.”

Ryan continued, “Given our strong performance in the first half of the year and our proven ability to gain market share at an accelerated pace, we are raising our fiscal year 2022 guidance. We believe that our brand power, differentiated strategic plan and highly flexible supply chain well positions us to sustain momentum in 2022 and deliver profitable growth for years to come.”

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

Net sales were $98.7 million, an increase of $15.1 million, or 18.0%, versus $83.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to 24.8% volume growth, which compares to 11.4% in the prior year period. However, this was partially offset by negative 6.8% price / mix contribution, as our leading Duckhorn Vineyards and Decoy winery brands outpaced the growth of our Other Winery Brands. There was also a timing shift in shipments for select DTC volume from the second quarter to the first quarter. On a like-for-like basis, pricing changes were immaterial to our results.

Gross profit was $49.5 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 18.5%, versus the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 50.1%, up 20 basis points versus the prior year period due to brand mix which more than offset channel unfavorability. Adjusted gross profit was $49.7 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 16.5%, versus the prior year period.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $23.8 million, an increase of $6.3 million, or 36.3%, versus $17.5 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributed to $1.0 million in expenses related to capital markets transactions, an additional $1.4 million in general and administrative costs specific to being a public company, and higher workforce-related expenses, including $0.9 million in incremental equity-based compensation. Selling expenses also increased approximately $2.2 million, primarily to support sales activities and the continued resurgence of business travel versus the prior year period.

Net income was $17.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, versus $22.0 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income was $19.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, versus $16.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The increases in adjusted net income were due to higher net sales and favorable brand mix, lower interest expense and lower income tax expense, partially offset by channel mix and increases in direct selling expenses, which were generally in line with net sales growth during the period. For comparison, adjusted net income for the three months ended January 31, 2021 would have been $15.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, if that earlier period reflected similar public company costs and diluted share count consistent with the second quarter of Fiscal 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA was $34.3 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 6.6%, versus $32.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was largely driven by higher net sales and favorable brand mix, partially offset by the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses due to increased sales activities, greater workforce-related expenses, public company costs, and capital markets transaction expenses. Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.5 million, or 11.5%, versus the prior year when comparing adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter against the prior year period similarly burdened by public company costs.

Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance
The Company is raising its previously provided fiscal 2022 guidance. For the year, we expect to deliver adjusted EPS between $0.55 and $0.58 per diluted share versus fiscal 2021 adjusted EPS of $0.58 per diluted share. Note that 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. Fiscal 2022 also includes 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 $0.55 to $0.58 per diluted share is comparable to what would be an adjusted EPS of $0.52 per diluted 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 Company’s upwardly revised guidance ranges are presented below for fiscal year 2022:

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.
