Insights

The Q1 FY2025 results present a mixed picture for Duckhorn Portfolio. While headline numbers show $122.9M in net sales (+19.9% YoY) and adjusted EBITDA of $48.6M (+39.9% YoY), the underlying performance excluding Sonoma-Cutrer acquisition shows some concerns with core sales declining 8.2%.

The company's profitability metrics reveal pressure points: gross profit margin contracted 250 basis points to 50.0%, while net income decreased 28.1% to $11.2M. However, adjusted metrics show resilience - adjusted net income per share increased to $0.16 from $0.14.

The healthy leverage ratio of 1.7x net debt to adjusted EBITDA provides financial flexibility, though one-time inventory transfers due to distributor changes have temporarily impacted sales. The shift in sales mix toward wholesale distributors (79.3% vs 77.0% last year) suggests a strategic pivot in distribution strategy.

The wine industry context makes these results particularly noteworthy. The decline in core business sales (-8.2% excluding Sonoma-Cutrer) indicates challenges in the premium wine segment. The negative price/mix contribution of -4.8% suggests pricing pressure and potential shifts in consumer preferences.

The DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) channel's share decrease to 6.8% from 7.4% is concerning, as this high-margin channel typically provides better profitability. The increased reliance on wholesale distribution could impact margins long-term, though it may provide better volume stability.

The Sonoma-Cutrer acquisition masks underlying performance issues but demonstrates management's strategic approach to portfolio expansion. The integration appears to be driving significant volume contribution (24.7%), though careful monitoring of margin dilution will be crucial.

Net Sales of $122.9 million, up 19.9% year over year;

Net Income of $11.2 million, down 28.1% year over year;

Adjusted EBITDA of $48.6 million, up 39.9% year over year;

Net sales were $122.9 million, an increase of $20.4 million, or 19.9%, versus $102.5 million in the prior year period. The increase was driven primarily by the addition of Sonoma-Cutrer, partially offset by a lower price / mix contribution.

Gross profit was $61.5 million, an increase of $7.6 million, or 14.2%, versus the prior year period. Gross profit margin was 50.0%, a decline of 250 basis points versus the prior year period. Adjusted gross profit was $63.8 million, an increase of $10.6 million or 19.8% versus the prior year period, reflecting higher net sales with the addition of Sonoma-Cutrer. Adjusted gross profit margin was 51.9% a decline of 10 basis points versus the prior year, as a result of an increase in cost of goods.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses were $40.8 million, an increase of $10.3 million, or 33.8%, versus $30.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses were $23.9 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 5.8%, versus $22.6 million in the prior year period, and a decrease of 260 basis points as a percentage of net sales.

Net income was $11.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, versus $15.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Adjusted net income was $23.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, versus $17.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $48.6 million, an increase of $13.9 million, or 39.9%, versus $34.7 million in the prior year period. This increase was driven primarily by an increase in net sales associated with the addition of Sonoma-Cutrer and ongoing operating cost controls that resulted in slower growth of adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. As a result, adjusted EBITDA margin improved 560 basis points versus the prior year period.

THE DUCKHORN PORTFOLIO, INC.
RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted gross profit, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, 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, transaction expenses, acquisition integration expenses, 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), non-cash equity-based compensation expense, 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 and Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

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, transaction expenses, acquisition integration expenses, 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 SG&A – calculated as selling, general, and administrative expenses excluding the impacts of purchase accounting, transaction expenses, acquisition integration expenses, equity-based compensation; and
  • 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.
