Vintage Wine Estates Provides Update on Timing of Reporting

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., March 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWE and VWEWW) (“VWE” or the “Company”), one of the top wine producers in the U.S. with an industry leading direct-to-consumer platform, today announced that it requires more time to complete processes needed to close its second quarter of fiscal 2023. The Company now expects to file its amended first quarter 2023 10-Q and report its second quarter fiscal 2023 results as soon as practical, but no later than April 30, 2023.

The Company had reported on February 8, 2023, that it intends to amend and file its first quarter 2023 10-Q as soon as practical. Investors should no longer rely upon the Company’s previously released financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Similarly, related press releases, earnings releases, and investor communications describing the Company’s financial statements for that period should no longer be relied upon.

VWE also noted at that time that second quarter fiscal 2023 results would be delayed. The Company’s management had identified late in the financial reporting and closing process certain impairment indicators, which require additional analysis including using independent sources for the evaluation of the intangible assets and Company forecasts. The Company now believes that due to the additional time required to complete this process, it expects it will be filing its second quarter financial results not later than the end of April 2023, following the filing of its first quarter 2023.
