WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: Vintage Wine Estates went public via de-SPAC transaction in June 2021.

Then, on September 13, 2022, after the market hours, Vintage Wine Estates issued a press release announcing that certain of the company's previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon and should be restated due to the identification of an accounting error.

Vintage Wine Estates also announced disappointing fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 results. The Company revealed that it recorded $19.1 million in non-cash inventory adjustments which were “identified through efforts to improve and strengthen inventory management, processes and reporting.” The adjustments included “physical inventory count adjustments of $12.4 million, $3.7 million related to the establishment of inventory reserves and $3.0 million related to the impact of additional remediation efforts.” The Company further revealed that it’s fourth quarter 2022 loss from operations was $27.7 million, compared to $10.9 million in the prior year quarter, which was due in part to “the $19.1 million non-cash inventory adjustments.”

On this news, Vintage Wine Estates’ stock fell $2.23 per share, or 40%, to close at $3.30 per share on September 14, 2022, on unusually heavy trading volume.
