Basis of presentation
The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and Article 10 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of Management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, which are necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial information for the interim periods presented. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2024, for any other interim period or for any future year.
The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of July 31, 2023 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, previously filed with the SEC. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023.
Principles of consolidation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of The Duckhorn Portfolio, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”) of which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Accounting estimates
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Operating segment
The Company has one operating segment and one reportable segment. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews operating performance and makes decisions to allocate resources at the consolidated company level.
Preferred stock
The Company has 100,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock authorized, none of which are issued and outstanding.
Variable interest entities
The Company evaluates its ownership, contractual relationships and other interests in entities to determine the nature and extent of the interests, whether such interests are variable interests and whether the entities are VIEs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidations. These evaluations can be complex and involve Management judgment as well as the use of estimates and assumptions based on available historical information, among other factors. Thus, it represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. Based on these evaluations, if the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the entity is consolidated into the financial statements. At April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023, the Company’s ownership percentage of the sole identified VIE was 76.2%. The total net assets of the VIE included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were $2.3 million as of April 30, 2024 and July 31, 2023. The assets and liabilities, which may only be used to settle its own obligations, are primarily related to property, equipment and working capital accounts, which generally represent the amounts owed by or to the Company for grape sales under current contracts and farming costs.
Business Combination
On April 30, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Sonoma-Cutrer. See Note 4 (Business Combination) for additional information. The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting prescribed by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, whereby the results of operations, including the revenues and earnings of Sonoma-Cutrer, are included in the financial statements from the date of acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition are recognized at their fair values based on widely accepted valuation techniques in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. Goodwill is recognized for the excess of the consideration transferred over the net fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management’s assessment of qualitative factors affecting goodwill for each acquisition includes estimates of market share at the date of purchase, ability to grow in the market, synergy with existing Company operations and the payor profile in the markets. The fair value assigned to the intangible asset was determined
using the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method. The process for estimating fair values requires the use of significant estimates, assumptions and judgments, including determining the timing and estimates of future cash flows and developing appropriate discount and royalty rates. The estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable using the best information available. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ materially from estimates.
ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, establishes a measurement period to provide the Company with a reasonable amount of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure various items in a business combination and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed as of acquisition date. The Company expects to complete the final fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures related to significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and by requiring current annual disclosures to be provided in interim periods. Additionally, it requires public entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures provided by the standard. ASU 2023-07 will be effective for the Company beginning with the fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, and for interim periods beginning in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures, primarily requiring disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company beginning with the fiscal year ended July 31, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective as of April 30, 2024 have had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or the related disclosures.
