“I am pleased to report strong fourth quarter and fiscal year results, rounding out another exceptional year for The Duckhorn Portfolio,” commented Alex Ryan, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. “We delivered impressive quarterly performance, both in sales and profitability, despite a dynamic and inflationary environment. I would specifically note the double-digit, volume-driven sales growth and the solid gross margin expansion. Our results reflect sustained, healthy share gains within luxury wine, which benefits from the continued premiumization tailwind.”
Ryan continued, “Looking to fiscal year 2023, we believe we are well-positioned to continue to outpace the growing luxury wine segment. While we are mindful of macro uncertainties, we believe that our core customer will continue to be resilient. Furthermore, we remain optimistic about our long-term prospects and our ability to execute against a considerable distribution whitespace opportunity. Our exemplary product offering, differentiated go-to-market strategy, prudent growth investments and strong relationships within the trade give us confidence that we will deliver sustainable, profitable growth that seeks to maximize stakeholder value over the long-term.”

Net sales were $78.0 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 10.0%, versus $70.9 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven by 7.1% volume growth which lapped a robust 40.4% growth rate in the prior year period, supported by positive price/mix contribution of 2.9%. The positive price/mix contribution was primarily attributable to DTC channel sales out-performance relative to wholesale channel growth, augmented by favorable brand mix movements evident in the strong net sales performance for both our wholesale California direct to trade channel and our wholesale to distributor channel versus the prior year period. We now refer to our sales directly to retail accounts in California, a point of distinction among large California wine producers, as the “Direct to Trade Channel”. On a like-for-like basis, pricing changes were immaterial to our sales performance.
Gross profit was $39.3 million, an increase of $4.9 million, or 14.4%, versus the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 50.4%, improving 190 basis points versus the prior year period as a result of favorable brand and channel mix shifts led by higher margin DTC channel growth. Adjusted gross profit was $40.4 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 16.4%, versus the prior year period, and adjusted gross profit margin was 51.8%, up 280 basis points versus the prior year period after adjusting for inventory reserves and the impact of purchase accounting in connection with prior business acquisitions.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.7 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 13.5%, versus $24.4 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributed to investments in our
2
workforce to support our long-term growth strategy, transaction expenses (including an equity follow-on offering and costs incurred in connection with other transactions) and higher professional service fees.
Net income was $5.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, versus $7.4 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income was $9.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus $9.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The decrease in adjusted net income was due to increases in operating expenses, income tax expense (due to greater profitability and year-end tax provision adjustments), and higher interest expense that were nearly offset by higher net sales and profitability compared to the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA was $22.3 million, an increase of $3.9 million, or 21%, versus $18.4 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 266 basis points versus the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher net sales, partially offset by the increases in selling, general and administrative expenses noted earlier.
Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance
For Fiscal Year 2023, the Company expects to realize continued top line growth as a result of The Duckhorn Portfolio’s superior brand strength, scaled and highly diversified business model within the luxury wine segment, in addition to ongoing premiumization tailwinds. While we are mindful of macro uncertainties, we believe planned pricing increases will generally offset cost of goods inflation. Profitability growth will be moderately tempered. Greater year-on-year contribution from Kosta Browne will be offset by mix pressures associated with the growth of Duckhorn Vineyards and Decoy, as well as greater net sales dollar contribution from the off-premise channel. Adjusted SG&A, as a percentage of net sales, will increase year-over-year as the Company makes strategic investments intended to execute against its considerable distribution whitespace opportunity, which underpins its long-term growth.

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 (including certain inventory charges), 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 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), bulk wine losses, and certain inventory charges. 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 (including certain inventory charges), 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 the 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.
