SACRAMENTO, California - May 9, 2019 - S&W Seed Company (Nasdaq: SANW) today announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 ended March 31, 2019.

"The execution of the strategic plan we implemented over the last year to create a leading multi-crop, middle-market agricultural company is progressing well," commented Mark Wong, President & CEO of S&W Seed Company. "During the quarter, we further integrated our acquisition of the Chromatin sorghum assets, including our farmer-dealer network that significantly broadens our reach within the United States, and continued our advancement of key next generation trait technologies. We are tracking ahead of our original expectations for revenue and EBITDA contribution from our recent sorghum acquisition and anticipate potential additional synergies as we look to accelerate the execution of our international cross-selling opportunities in the coming quarters, particularly in Europe and Australia."

"A key focus of management and the board has been to evolve beyond our dependence on certain geographical markets which carry higher political, regulatory, and economic risks. The importance of this shift came clearly into view during the quarter as we were able to stay on budget for the year despite not making certain shipments of alfalfa seed to Sudan due to the recent political instability. The realignment of our organization across geographic lines (as opposed to product lines), which has renewed our sales focus, should only enhance our diversification going forward."

Mr. Wong concluded, "We feel that the agricultural market headwinds that commenced in 2016 continue to provide an opportunity for a forward-looking, long-term focused company like S&W. Our recent Chromatin acquisition, which is exceeding our initial expectations, is a strong example to build from. I believe the agricultural platform we are building has tremendous value and creates opportunities to expand our product and distribution capabilities in a highly accretive way. I look forward to the continued hard work of the team paying off for shareholders in the coming years."


Financial Results

(Note to readers: As S&W adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) as of July 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method, there is a lack of comparability of current financial results to prior fiscal periods.)

For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, S&W reported revenue of $18.2 million, compared to revenue of $22.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Of the $18.2 million of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, S&W recognized approximately $5.2 million from its recent sorghum acquisition which occurred on October 25, 2018. The decrease in revenue from the prior year is primarily related to the timing of revenue recognition pursuant to its adoption of ASC 606 effective July 1, 2018, which accelerated revenue from its agreement with Pioneer to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 as opposed to the second and third quarters of fiscal 2019 as well as an impact from the political instability in Sudan, partially offset by increases in Saudi Arabia and Argentina. Had the Company reported under the old revenue recognition standard ASC 605, revenue would have been $22.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Excluding the impact of the Chromatin acquisition and under the old revenue recognition standard, revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 would have been $17.6 million.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, S&W reported revenue of $62.9 million compared to $54.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018. Of the $62.9 million of revenue in the nine months ended March 31, 2019, S&W recognized approximately $6.7 million from its recent sorghum acquisition. Had the Company reported under the old revenue recognition standard ASC 605, revenue would have been $56.5 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Excluding the impact of the Chromatin acquisition and reporting under the old revenue recognition standard ASC 605, revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 would have been $49.8 million.

Gross margins during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were 26.3% compared to gross margins of 29.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Gross margins during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were 23.8% compared to gross margins of 25.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The decrease in gross profit margins was primarily due to product sales mix. The sales pricing under our production agreement expiring in May 2019 is lower in fiscal 2019 than in the prior year.

Adjusted operating expenses, excluding transaction related expenses (see Table A1), in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $7.4 million compared to $4.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 can be attributed to approximately $1.8 million of additional expenses from the newly acquired sorghum operations, coupled with $1.0 million of additional investments in our sales and marketing and product development functions. Adjusted operating expenses, excluding transaction related expenses (see Table A2), in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $17.9 million compared to $13.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The increase in operating expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 can be attributed to approximately $2.9 million of additional expenses from the newly acquired sorghum operations, coupled with $1.8 million of additional investments in our sales and marketing and product development functions.


GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $(3.3) million, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net income of $1.8 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. GAAP net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $(6.1) million, or $(0.21) per basic and diluted share, compared to GAAP net loss of $(0.4) million, or $(0.02) per basic and diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2018.

Adjusted non-GAAP net loss (see Table A1) for the third quarter of fiscal 2019, excluding various items (transaction costs, reduction of anticipated loss on sub-lease land and interest expense - amortization of debt discount), was $(3.2) million, or $(0.10) per basic and diluted share. Adjusted non-GAAP net income (see Table A1) for the third quarter of fiscal 2018, excluding various items (transactions costs and interest expense - amortization of debt discount) was $1.9 million, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share. Adjusted non-GAAP net loss (see Table A2) for the first nine months of fiscal 2019, excluding various items (transaction costs, reduction of anticipated loss on sub-lease land and interest expense - amortization of debt discount), was $(4.8) million, or $(0.17) per basic and diluted share. Adjusted non-GAAP net loss (see Table A2) for the first nine months of fiscal 2018, excluding various items (transactions costs, change in derivative warrant liabilities, interest expense - amortization of debt discount) was $(0.7) million, or $(0.03) per basic and diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA (see Table B) for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $(1.2) million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Adjusted EBITDA (see Table B) for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was $0.7 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $3.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company has provided the following non-GAAP financial measures in this release and the accompanying tables: adjusted EBITDA, adjusted non-GAAP net income (loss) and adjusted earnings (loss) per share. S&W uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of its operating performance and liquidity, and believes they are useful to investors as a supplement to GAAP measures in analyzing, trending and benchmarking the performance and value of the Company's business. However, these measures are not intended to be a substitute for those reported in accordance with GAAP. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.


For reconciliations of historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measures under GAAP, see Tables A and B accompanying this release.

In order to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures, the Company makes targeted adjustments to certain GAAP financial line items found on its Consolidated Statement of Operations, backing out non-recurring or unique items or items that the Company believes otherwise distort the underlying results and trends of the ongoing business. The Company has excluded the following items from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented:

Selling, general and administrative expenses; operating expenses. We exclude a portion of SG&A expense and operating expenses related to transaction expenses related to acquisitions and financings. Acquisition-related expenses include transaction fees, due diligence costs and other direct costs associated with our acquisitions. These amounts are unrelated to our core performance during any particular period and are impacted by the timing of the acquisition. We exclude acquisition-related expenses from our SG&A expense and total operating expenses to provide investors a method to compare our operating results to prior periods and to peer companies, as such amounts can vary significantly based on the frequency of acquisitions and the magnitude of acquisition expenses.

Changes in derivative warrant liabilities. Change in derivative warrant liabilities are related to the change in fair value of the warrants issued in conjunction with our Convertible Debentures issued in March 2014. These amounts are non-cash gains and/or losses, and are unrelated to our core performance during any particular period. We believe it is useful to exclude these amounts in order to better understand our business performance and allow investors to compare our results with peer companies.

Reduction of anticipated loss on sub-lease land. The reduction of anticipated loss on sub-lease land represents a change in estimate of the reserve for the difference between our lease-obligations and our expected sub-lease income on certain land. We exclude this amount as it is a non-recurring income /charge and is unrelated to our core performance during any particular period, and therefore, we believe it is useful to exclude this amount in order to better understand our business performance and allow investors to compare our results with peer companies.

Interest expense - amortization of debt discount. Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs are primarily related to our working capital lines of credit and term loans. These amounts are non-cash charges and are unrelated to our core performance during any particular period. We believe it is useful to exclude these amounts in order to better understand our business performance and allow investors to compare our results with peer companies.


Non-GAAP Tax Rate. The estimated non-GAAP effective tax rate adjusts the tax effect to quantify the tax consequences of the excluded non-GAAP items.

Descriptions of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release and the accompanying tables are as follows:

Adjusted net income (loss) and non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share. We define non-GAAP net income (loss) as net income (loss) less non-recurring transaction charges, change in derivative warrant liabilities, and interest expense - amortization of debt discount. However, in order to provide a complete picture of our recurring core business operating results, we also exclude from non-GAAP net income (loss) the tax effects of these adjustments. We used an effective tax rate that we believe would be applied had our income approximated the non-GAAP net income (loss) for the presented periods. We caution investors that the tax effects of these adjustments are based on management's estimates. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information for evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we define as GAAP net income (loss), adjusted to exclude non-recurring transaction costs, reduction of anticipated loss on sub-leased land, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, foreign currency (gain) loss, change in derivative warrant liabilities, interest expense - amortization of debt discount, interest expense, and provision (benefit) for income taxes. We believe that the use of adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors and other users of the Company's financial statements in evaluating our operating performance because it provides them with an additional tool to compare business performance across companies and across periods. We use adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with traditional GAAP operating performance measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Management does not place undue reliance on adjusted EBITDA as its only measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP.
