NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively.

References to the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2023 (this "Form 10-Q") refer to Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries or controlled subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal 2024 in these condensed consolidated financial statements are to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included in this Form 10-Q. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. In addition, financial results presented for this fiscal 2024 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 or any other future interim or annual period. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on October 13, 2023. The June 30, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company restated its unaudited quarterly financial data, on October 13, 2023, for the periods ended September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. All amounts in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q affected by the restatement, including but not limited to the three months ended September 30, 2022, reflect such restated amounts.

Significant Accounting Policies

A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to the net realizable value of inventory, estimated fair values of intangible assets in acquisitions, intangible assets for impairment, amortization methods and periods, contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, and accounting for income taxes, as applicable. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, we reclassified $6.6 million of accrued employee compensation from accrued liabilities and other payables to accrued employee compensation as of June 30, 2023.

5

Allowance for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, was immaterial. We do not accrue interest on past-due amounts. Bad debt expense was immaterial for all reporting periods presented.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue by geographic region:

	September 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
United States	$	72,825	$	76,373
International		449		1,707
Total net revenue	$	73,274	$	78,080

The following table provides a disaggregation of revenue based on the pattern of revenue recognition:

	September 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Point in time	$	61,497	$	66,431
Over time		11,777		11,649
Total net revenue	$	73,274	$	78,080

Inventories

Inventory consists of the following:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Bulk wine, spirits and cider	$	78,873	$	84,602
Bottled wine, spirits and cider		105,870		100,075
Bottling and packaging supplies		13,455		15,690
Nonwine inventory		1,204		996
Total inventories	$	199,402	$	201,363

Inventories of bulk and bottled wines, spirits, and ciders and inventories of non-wine products and bottling and packaging supplies are valued at the lower of cost using the FIFO method or net realizable value. Costs associated with winemaking, and other costs associated with the manufacturing of products for resale, are recorded as inventory. Net realizable value is the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with either the eventual sale or the disposal of the asset in question. Inventories are classified as current assets in accordance with recognized industry practice, although most wines and spirits are aged for periods longer than one year. The inventory reserve for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was immaterial.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not identify any impairment triggers.

Casualty Gains

In relation to various weather and wildfire events, the Company received insurance and litigation proceeds of zero and $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Segment Information

We operate in three reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Interim Chief Executive Officer for the three months ended September 30, 2023, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the segment level.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, stock options, warrants to purchase common stock and restricted stock units are considered potentially dilutive securities but are excluded from the calculation of

6

diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is antidilutive. As a result, in certain periods, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as the basic net income (loss) per share.

The Company does not pay dividends or have participating shares outstanding.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act

2. Restructuring

On July 20, 2023, the Company's executive officers, authorized by the Board of Directors (the "Board") to take such action, approved an organizational restructuring plan (the "Plan") intended to expand margin through simplification and improved execution, measurably reduce costs, improve cash management, monetize assets, reduce debt and grow revenue of its key brands. As part of the Plan, there was a reduction in force affecting approximately 25 roles, or 4% of the workforce. The total restructuring expense, shown on a separate line in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $4.0 million, substantially all of which was related to employee severance and related benefit costs. The amount is expected to be paid over the next 24 months.

The following table presents the changes in the Company's restructuring-related accrued employee compensation liabilities:

(in thousands)
Balance at June 30, 2023	$	-
Restructuring expense		4,002
Cash payments		(393	)
Balance at September 30, 2023	$	3,609

3. Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	September 30, 2023
(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Money market funds	$	9,943	$	-	$	-	$	9,943
Interest rate swaps (1)		-		8,882		-		8,882
Total	$	9,943	$	8,882	$	-	$	18,825
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration liabilities (2)	$	-	$	-	$	9,397	$	9,397
Total	$	-	$	-	$	9,397	$	9,397

	June 30, 2023
(in thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Money market funds	$	9,874	$	-	$	-	$	9,874
Interest rate swaps (1)		-		8,986		-		8,986
Total	$	9,874	$	8,986	$	-	$	18,860
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration liabilities (2)	$	-	$	-	$	8,656	$	8,656
Total	$	-	$	-	$	8,656	$	8,656

(1) The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that considers the expected future cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap, including the remaining period to maturity, and uses market-corroborated Level 2 inputs, including forward interest rate curves and implied interest rate volatilities. The fair value of an interest rate swap is

7

estimated by discounting future fixed cash payments against the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are estimated based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from forward interest rate curves. The fair value of an interest rate swap also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect the non-performance risk of the Company and the respective counterparty.

(2) We assess the fair value of contingent consideration to be settled in cash related to acquisitions using probability weighted models for the various contractual earn-outs. These are Level 3 measurements. Significant unobservable inputs used in the estimated fair values of these contingent consideration liabilities include probabilities of achieving customer related performance targets, specified sales milestones, consulting milestones, changes in unresolved claims, projected revenue or changes in discount rates.

The following table provides a reconciliation of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

(in thousands)	Contingent Consideration
Balance at June 30, 2023		8,656
Acquisitions		-
Payments		(230	)
Change in fair value		971
Balance at September 30, 2023		9,397
Less: current portion		(2,427	)

5. Stockholders' Equity

Warrants

At September 30, 2023, there were 25,646,453 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share. The 25,646,453 warrants are made up of 18,000,000 Public Warrants (the "Public Warrants") and 7,646,453 Private Warrants (the "Private Warrants").

The Public Warrants are exercisable commencing on August 11, 2021 and expire five years after the commencement date. The Company may accelerate the expiry date by providing 30 days’ prior written notice, if and only if, the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period. The public warrant holder’s right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of acceleration of the expiry date.

The Private Warrants are exercisable commencing on August 11, 2021 for one common share at an exercise price of $11.50, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The Private Warrants expire five years after the commencement date.

Meier's Earnout Shares

In connection with the closing of the Meier's business combination with Paul T. Lux Irrevocable Trust pursuant to a merger agreement dated January 18, 2022, Mr. Lux is entitled to receive up to an additional $5 million of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms of the earnout agreement.

9

The Company will make earnout payments based on the product of the amount of adjusted EBITDA in calendar 2022, 2023 and 2024 over an EBITDA threshold, as defined in the merger agreement, and the earnout multiple of seven. No shares were issued through September 30, 2023.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the 2021 Plan prior to May 17, 2023 have a ten-year term and are subject to certain market conditions, including that the stock options only become exercisable if the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock meets a $12.50 threshold over a 30-day consecutive trading period following the grant date. The fair value of the stock options was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. These stock option awards vest, except as set forth in the award agreement, in four equal installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting 18 months after the grant date with respect to an additional 25% of the total stock-based award on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the grant date, providing in each case the employee remains in continuous employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate. Stock options granted under the 2021 Plan subsequent to May 17, 2023 are generally not subject to market conditions and vest, except as set forth in the award agreement, in four equal installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting 12 months after the grant date with an additional 25% of the total stock-based award on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the grant date, providing in each case the employee remains in continuous employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period.

The following table presents a summary of stock option activity under the 2021 Plan:

	Stock Options			Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 30, 2023		2,869,837		$	10.31		8.80	$	-

Outstanding at September 30, 2023		2,715,816		$	9.07		8.60	$	-

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to the stock options was $3.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5.0 years. As of September 30, 2023, 932,813 options were exercisable pending attainment of a market condition.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units are subject only to service conditions and those issued prior to May 17, 2023 vest, except as set forth in the award agreement, in four equal installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting 18 months after the vesting commencement date and the other installments vesting on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the vesting commencement date. Restricted stock units issued subsequent to May 17, 2023 vest, except as set forth in the award agreement, in four equal installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting 12 months after the vesting commencement date and the other installments vesting on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the vesting commencement date.

The following table presents a summary of restricted stock units activity:

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock units was $3.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted 151,052 fully-vested restricted stock units to a third party in consideration of consulting services rendered.

6. Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to permanent items and valuation allowance. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, the effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to permanent items related to non-deductible officer compensation.

7. Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Litigation

We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Although management believes that any pending claims and lawsuits will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, the adjudication of such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s assessment may change depending on future events.

Litigation

On November 14, 2022, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against the Company and certain current and former members of its management team. The lawsuit is captioned Ezzes v. Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., et al. (“Ezzes“), and alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by making material misstatements or omissions in certain of the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC relating to, among other things, the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, including with respect to the Company’s inventory metrics and overhead burden. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of damages and an award of attorney’s fees, in addition to other relief. On November 28, 2022, a second purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Salbenblatt v. Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., et al. (“Salbenblatt”), was filed in the same court, containing similar claims and allegations, and seeking similar relief, as the Ezzes lawsuit. On February 14, 2023, the Court consolidated both actions and appointed the lead plaintiffs. The Salbenblatt action was transferred to and consolidated with the Ezzes action. On May 1, 2023, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint (“amended complaint”). On June 30, 2023 defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The motion to dismiss was fully briefed on September 25, 2023, and is pending. The Company believes this litigation is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. However, litigation is inherently uncertain, and the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation and is unable to estimate the range of loss, if any, that could result from an unfavorable outcome. The Company also cannot provide any assurance that the ultimate resolution of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, prospects, results of operations or financial condition.

The Company is involved in two disputes relating to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) and a related Non-Compete Agreement/Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) from a 2018 acquisition. Claimant has alleged that the Company did not make certain earnout payments allegedly due under the APA and has alleged that the Company misused alleged rights of publicity with respect to the brands in violation of the Non-Compete Agreement. On or about August 30, 2023, claimants served a demand for arbitration on the Company. The Company paid the claimant $0.4 million subsequent to September 30, 2023. At present, claimants collectively have not quantified the total amount of their alleged damages for all claims; however based on information provided by claimants, the Company would anticipate that any claim of damages would likely be at least approximately $3.0 million. The Company disputes both that any amounts in excess of the accrued earn-out liability of approximately $0.4 million for the dispute period are owed and that the Company misused the alleged rights of publicity. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims. At this time, in view of the complexity and ongoing nature of the matters, we are unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss that the Company may incur to resolve these matters or defend against these claims.

The Company has received a complaint in California Superior Court alleging certain violations of California employment law and seeking class certification for certain current and former employees of the Company. The Company intends to defend the matter vigorously. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter and is unable to estimate the range of loss, if any, that could result from an unfavorable outcome.

From time to time, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive letters alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. The Company is not currently a party to any other material legal proceedings, nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, in the Company’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, customers and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. These indemnities include indemnities to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under applicable state laws. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. Historically, we have not incurred any significant costs as a result of such indemnifications.

Other Commitments

Contracts exist with various growers and certain wineries to supply a significant portion of our future grape and wine requirements. Contract amounts are subject to change based upon actual vineyard yields, grape quality and changes in grape prices. Estimated future minimum grape and bulk wine purchase commitments are as follows:

(in thousands)
Year ending June 30,	Total
Remainder of 2024	$	25,969
2025		9,935
2026		3,786
2027		347
2028		264
	$	40,301

Grape, bulk wine and cider purchases under contracts totaled $12.8 million and $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company expects to fulfill all of these purchase commitments.

8. Related Party Transactions

On February 7, 2023, the Company and Patrick Roney, founder of VWE, entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) whereby Mr. Roney voluntarily elected to transition from Chief Executive Officer of the Company to Executive Chairman of the Board, effective February 7, 2023. Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Employment Agreement between the Company and Mr. Roney effective June 7, 2021 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”) was terminated and upon such termination the Company agreed to provide Mr. Roney his accrued but unpaid Base Salary and PTO (as defined in the Prior Employment Agreement) through February 7, 2023, and any vested amounts or benefits that he is entitled to receive under any plan, program, or policy, as described in Section 5.1 of the Prior Employment Agreement. Mr. Roney expressly waived any claim to the severance benefits described in Section 5.2(b) of the Prior Employment Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, as amended, Mr. Roney will receive an annual base salary of $212,500 for his service as Executive Chairman and will be eligible to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans and programs in accordance with their terms and eligibility requirements. In connection with his appointment as Executive Chairman, all outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units previously granted to Mr. Roney under the Company’s 2021 Plan ceased to vest and any unvested awards were forfeited.

The Company has a contract with Bin-to-bottle, a storage and bottling company owned by Patrick Roney, founder of VWE and Executive Chairman, for storage purposes. The Company incurred zero and $6.0 thousand in expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Also on February 7, 2023, the Board appointed Jon Moramarco, a member of the Board, as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer. In connection with such appointment, the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with bw166 LLC (“bw166”) and Mr. Moramarco, pursuant to which the Company will pay bw166 a monthly fee of $17,500 and will reimburse bw166 and Mr. Moramarco for reasonable business-related expenses in connection with the Interim Chief Executive Officer services provided thereunder. Additionally, the Company agreed to award Mr. Moramarco a one-time grant of 100,000 restricted stock units pursuant to the 2021 Plan, which will vest in full on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. Mr. Moramarco is the Managing Partner of bw166 and has a controlling interest therein. The Consulting Agreement was terminated effective October 31, 2023.

Immediate Family Member and Other Business Arrangements

We provide at will employment to several family members of officers or directors who provide various sales, marketing and administrative services to us. Payroll and other expenses to these related parties was $123 thousand and $125 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

On July 19, 2023, the Company and Terry Wheatley, President of VWE, entered into a Separation Agreement and Release of all Claims (the "Separation Agreement") whereby Ms. Wheatley voluntarily elected to resign from the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, the employment agreement between the Company and Ms. Wheatley effective June 7, 2021 (the "Prior Employment Agreement") was terminated and upon such termination the Company agreed to provide Ms. Wheatley her accrued but unpaid Base Salary and PTO (as defined in the Prior Employment Agreement) through July 19, 2023, and any vested amounts or benefits that she is entitled to receive under any plan, program, or policy, as described in Section 5.1 of the Prior Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Ms. Wheatley an amount equal to three years of her annual base salary, to be paid in monthly installments over twenty-four consecutive months, a one-time payment of $125 thousand and reimbursement for the cost of health insurance continuation coverage through December 31, 2023, if continuation coverage is elected by Ms. Wheatley.

12

In connection with the Separation Agreement, the Company and Ms. Wheatley entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Wheatley APA") effective as of September 17, 2023, whereby the Company sold Ms. Wheatley all of its intellectual property rights related to its "Purple Cowboy," "Wine Sisterhood" and "Gem+Jane" trademarks for a nominal sum. Pursuant to the Wheatley APA, the Company holds a worldwide, non-exclusive license to use the Purple Cowboy intellectual property ("IP") until June 30, 2024 for the purpose of liquidating its existing Purple Cowboy inventory. Pursuant to the Wheatley APA, Ms. Wheatley is required to purchase, by December 31, 2024, all Purple Cowboy inventory held by the Company that was not sold by June 30, 2024, at cost plus shipping charges. From September 17, 2023 to June 30, 2024, the Company has agreed to make sponsorship payments to “Tough Enough to Wear Pink”, an initiative to raise money for breast cancer awareness, of all gross profits received from sales of inventory associated with the Purple Cowboy IP. The sponsorship payments are to be made at a rate of $20,000 per month with any adjustment needed to account for remaining gross profits not previously covered by the sponsorship payments to be made in the final payment in July 2024. In the event the sponsorship payments exceed the gross profits received by the Company from sales of Purple Cowboy inventory, Ms. Wheatley is required to refund such excess amount to the Company by July 30, 2024. The Company donated money to Tough Enough to Wear Pink from the profits made by the sale of Purple Cowboy, that totaled $65 thousand and $75 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

In addition, pursuant to the Wheatley APA, the Company holds a worldwide, partially non-exclusive and partially exclusive license to use the Wine Sisterhood IP for the purpose of liquidating, and until it has liquidated, its existing inventory associated with the Wine Sisterhood IP. Ms. Wheatley has also agreed to pay the Company a royalty of $1.00 per 9-liter case of “Gem+Jane” branded products sold for a period of three years from September 17, 2023.

We have a revenue sharing agreement with Sonoma Brands Partners II, LLC where a portion of B.R. Cohn and Clos Pegase sales during various events throughout the year are paid to Sonoma Brands Partners II, LLC. Sonoma Brands Partners II, LLC is managed by a member of the Company's board of directors.

Financial Advisory Agreement

In April 2022, the Company entered into an arrangement with Global Leisure Partners LLC ("GLP") to act as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with its exploration of acquisitions, mergers, investments and other strategic matters. A director of the Company having the authority to establish policies and make decisions is an executive of GLP. Although members of the board of directors are typically independent from management, members of the board of directors would be considered management based on the definition of management in ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. Payments to GLP totaled $50 thousand for each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

9. Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our operations are principally managed on a sales distribution basis and are comprised of three reportable segments: Wholesale; Direct-to-Consumer; and Business-to-Business. The factors for determining the reportable segments include the manner in which management evaluates performance for purposes for allocating resources and assessing performance.

We report our segments as follows:

Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") - We sell our wine and other merchandise directly to consumers through wine club memberships, at wineries’ tasting rooms, and through eCommerce. Winery estates hold various public and private events for customers and our wine club members.

Wholesale - We sell our wine, spirits and cider to wholesale distributors under purchase orders. Wholesale operations generate revenue from product sold to distributors, who then sell them to off-premise retail locations such as grocery stores, wine clubs, specialty and multi-national retail chains, as well as on-premise locations such as restaurants and bars.

Business-to-Business ("B2B") - Our Business-to-Business segment generates revenue primarily from custom winemaking services and the sale of private label wines and spirits. Annually, we work with our national retail partners to develop private label wines incremental to their wholesale channel businesses. These services are made under contracts with customers, which includes specific protocols, pricing, and payment terms. The customer retains title and control of the product during the process.

13

Other - Other is included in the tables below for purposes of reconciliation of revenues and profit but is not considered a reportable segment. We record corporate level expenses, non-direct selling expenses and other expenses not specifically allocated to the results of operations in Other.

The following tables present net revenue and income from operations directly attributable to the Company's segments:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (our "Annual Report") and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included herein. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company restated its unaudited quarterly financial data on October 13, 2023 for the periods ended September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. The following discussion gives effect to the restatement of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Business Overview

Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., is a leading vintner in the United States ("U.S."), offering a collection of wines produced by award-winning, heritage wineries, popular lifestyle wines, innovative new wine brands, packaging concepts, as well as craft spirits. Our brands include ACE Cider, Bar Dog, B.R. Cohn, Cherry Pie, Firesteed, Kunde, Cameron Hughes and many others. VWE also produces hard cider, another form of wine, under the ACE Cider brand. Since our founding over 20 years ago, we have grown organically through wine brand creation and through acquisitions to become the 14th largest wine producer based on cases of wine shipped in California.

Growth Strategy and Five-Point-Plan

Our strategy is focused on growth with our wine brands by leveraging our omnichannel sales capabilities through all three business segments for our customers. We were presented with several new challenges in 2023, such as supply chain constraints, freight challenges, intense inflation, rapidly increasing interest rates and labor shortages which significantly impacted profitability and liquidity in 2023. To address these issues, in the latter half of 2023, we implemented our Five-Point Plan which we believe will enable us to drive stronger earnings, provide a sustainable foundation for future growth and allow us to continue as a leading vintner with a strong portfolio of affordable luxury brands. We believe our Five-Point Plan will enable us to better scale and grow beyond 2024, which we anticipate will be a transition year for the Company. In 2024, our priorities under our Five-Point Plan are to deliver profitability, generate cash, and reduce debt. In order to meet these objectives our near-term goals are to simplify the business, reduce costs, improve production throughout our operations, focus on key brands, and pay down debt through the monetization of assets and reducing costs, among other things.

Restructuring

On July 20, 2023, the Company's executive officers, authorized by the Board of Directors (the "Board") to take such action, approved an organizational restructuring plan (the "Plan") to expand margin through simplification and improved execution, measurably reduce costs, improve cash management, monetize assets, reduce debt and grow revenue of its key brands. As part of the Plan, there was a reduction in force affecting approximately 25 roles, or 4% of the workforce. The total restructuring expense, substantially all of which is employee severance and related benefit costs, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $4.0 million.

Trends and Other Factors Affecting Our Business

Events, including, but not limited to, the military incursion by Russia into Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war, inflationary conditions and rising interest rates, have caused disruptions in the U.S. and global economy, and uncertainty regarding general economic conditions, including concerns about a potential U.S. or global recession may affect consumer spending on discretionary items, including wine. This uncertainty could affect our operating results.

There is a degree of seasonality in the growing cycles, procurement and transportation of grapes. The wine industry in general tends to experience seasonal fluctuations in revenue and net income. Typically, we have lower sales and net income during our third fiscal quarter (January through March) and higher sales and net income during our second fiscal quarter (October through December) due to usual timing of seasonal holiday buying, as well as wine club shipments. We expect these trends to continue.

Our ability to fulfill the demand for wine is restricted by the availability of grapes. Climate change, agricultural and other factors, such as wildfires, disease, pests, extreme weather conditions, water scarcity, biodiversity loss and competing land use, impact the quality and quantity of grapes available to us for the production of wine from year to year. Our vineyards and properties, as well as other sources from which we purchase grapes, are affected by these factors. For example, the effects of abnormally high rainfall or drought in a given year may impact production of grapes, which can impact both our revenue and costs from year to year. In addition, extreme weather events, such as wildfires can result in potentially significant expenses to repair or replace a vineyard or facility as well as impact the ability of grape suppliers to fulfill their obligations to us.

Key Measures to Assess the Performance of our Business

We consider a variety of financial and operating measures in assessing the performance of our business, formulating goals and objectives and making strategic decisions. The key GAAP measures we consider are net revenue; gross profit; selling, general and administrative expenses; and income from operations. The key non-GAAP measures we consider are Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. We also monitor our case volume sold from our distributors to retailers to help us forecast and identify trends affecting our growth.

Net Revenue

We generate revenue from our segments: Wholesale, Business-to-Business ("B2B") and Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC"). We recognize revenue from sales when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customer are satisfied. Generally, this occurs when the product is shipped, at which point title passes to the customer and control of the promised product or service is transferred to the customer. Our standard terms are free on board, or FOB, shipping point, with no customer acceptance provisions. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. We recognize revenue net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, we record amounts billed for shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales and classify such costs as a component of costs of sales. Our products are generally not sold with a right of return, unless the product is spoiled or damaged. Historically, returns have not been significant to us.

Gross Profit

Gross profit is equal to net revenue less cost of sales. Cost of sales includes the direct cost of manufacturing, including direct materials, labor and related overhead, and physical inventory adjustments, as well as inbound and outbound freight and import duties.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses arising from activities in selling, marketing, warehousing, and administrative expenses. Other than variable compensation, selling, general and administrative expenses are generally not directly proportional to net revenue.

Income from Operations

Income from operations is gross profit less selling, general and administrative expenses; impairment losses on goodwill and intangible assets; acquisition and restructuring related expense or income and amortization of intangible assets. Income from operations excludes interest expense, income tax expense, and other expenses, net. We use income from operations as well as other indicators as a measure of the profitability of our business.

Case Volumes

The primary drivers of net revenue growth in any period are attributable to changes in case volumes and changes in product mix and sales price. Case volumes represents the number of 9-liter equivalent cases of wine that we sell during a particular period. Case volumes for our DTC and Wholesale segments are an important indicator for us to determine what is driving gross margin. This metric also allows us to develop our supply and production targets for future periods for our DTC and Wholesale segments. B2B segment sales are not related to case volumes

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our results determined in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies. These metrics are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry, when considered alongside other GAAP measures.

Beginning for the three months ended September 30, 2023, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, casualty losses or gains, impairment losses, changes in the fair value of derivatives, restructuring-related income or expenses, and certain non-cash, non-recurring, or other items included in net income (loss) that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Prior to the three months ended September 30, 2023, we used net income (loss) in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe the use of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA is more helpful than net income (loss) in evaluating our operating performance because it excludes amounts attributable to non-controlling interests. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenue. Presentations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for prior periods have been recast to conform to the current period presentation.

Results of Operations

Total net revenue decreased $4.8 million to $73.3 million and gross profit decreased $4.8 million to $25.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in nonwine net revenue is primarily related to the decrease in sales of bulk spirits. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, the unrealized loss on interest rate swap agreements increased $9.4 million compared to the prior period. In addition, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $1.0 million in professional fees during the

18

three months ended September 30, 2023 for the restatements of the 2023 interim financial statements. These expenses were partially offset by the $0.8 million gain from the $1.3 million sale of the Tamarack building in July 2023. These factors resulted in a net loss of $15.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net income of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

In the latter half of 2023, we implemented our Five-Point Plan which we believe will enable us to drive stronger earnings, provide a sustainable foundation for future growth and allow us to continue as a leading vintner with a strong portfolio of affordable luxury brands. We believe our Five-Point Plan will enable us to better scale and grow beyond 2024, which we anticipate will be a transition year for the Company. As discussed above, the Company has incurred $4.0 million in restructuring expense. Other costs related to the Five-Point Plan include, but are not limited to, $0.6 million in transportation costs related to inventory management to optimize the distribution of products and $0.6 million in temporary retention costs.

Our financial performance is classified into the following segments: Wholesale, B2B, and DTC. Our corporate operations, including centralized selling, general and administrative expenses are not allocated to the segments, as management does not believe such items directly reflect our core operations. However, we allocate re-measurements of contingent consideration and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets to our segments. Other than our long-term property, plant and equipment for wine tasting facilities, and customer lists, trademarks and trade names specific to acquired companies, our revenue generating assets are utilized across segments. Accordingly, the foregoing items are not allocated to the segments and are not discussed separately as the results of any such measures that had a significant impact on operating results are already included in the consolidated results discussion above.

We evaluate the performance of our segments on income from operations, which management believes is indicative of operational performance and ongoing profitability. Management monitors income from operations to evaluate past performance and identify actions required to improve profitability. Income from operations assists management in comparing the segment performance on a consistent basis for purposes of business decision-making by removing the impact of certain items that management believes do not directly reflect the core operations and, therefore, are not included in measuring segment performance. We define income from operations as gross margin less operating expenses that are directly attributable to the segment. Selling expenses that can be directly attributable to the segment are allocated accordingly.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

DTC Segment Results

(n/m) not meaningful

DTC net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $2.0 million, or 10.0%, from the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to weakness in digital marketing sales and the impact of the sale of The Sommelier Company, which were partially offset by improvements in tasting rooms and wine clubs as well as the positive impact of price increases.

DTC income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $0.2 million, or 12.4%, from the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Wholesale Segment Results

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Dollar			Percent

(Loss) income from operations	$	(1,293	)	$	2,288	$	(3,581	)	n/m

(n/m) not meaningful

Wholesale net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $4.8 million, or 20.2%, from the three months ended September 30, 2022. Double-digit growth in core focus brands of Bar Dog, Cherry Pie and Firesteed, as well as low single-digit growth of Kunde, helped to offset the decrease that was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenues due to the timing of programming, lower sales of an externally managed brand, lower international sales and lower sales related to discontinued stock keeping units. ACE Cider sales were relatively unchanged while case volume was down 9%, reflecting the impact of pricing.

19

Wholesale income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $3.6 million from the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in loss from operations was primarily attributable to costs related to restructuring expenses that totaled $2.3 million as well as declines in net sales.

B2B Segment Results

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Dollar			Percent
(in thousands, except %)	2023		2022		Change			Change
Net revenue	$	36,148	$	34,180	$	1,968		5.8%
Income from operations	$	4,898	$	10,533	$	(5,635	)	(53.5%)

B2B net revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased $2.0 million, or 5.8%, from the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in net revenues was primarily attributable to increased private label wine sales of $7.2 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in sales of bulk distilled spirits of $4.4 million.

B2B income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 decreased $5.6 million, or 53.5%, from the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in operating income for bulk distilled spirits of $4.0 million.

Adjusted EBITDA margin		0.6	%		7.4	%

(n/m) not meaningful

* Restructuring expenses are primarily comprised of employee severance and related benefit costs.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, casualty losses or gains, stock-based compensation expense, changes in the fair value of derivatives, restructuring and certain non-cash, non-recurring, or other items included in net income (loss) that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by net revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not recognized measures of financial performance under GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide analysts, investors and other interested parties with additional insight into the underlying trends of our business and assists these

20

parties in analyzing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance, which allows for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance.

Management uses these non-GAAP measures to understand and compare operating results across reporting periods for various purposes including internal budgeting and forecasting, short and long-term operating planning, employee incentive compensation, and debt compliance. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Use of the terms Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are not calculated in the same manner by all companies, and accordingly, are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, should not be construed as an indicator of our operating performance in isolation from, or as a substitute for, respectively, net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders or net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders margin (defined as net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders divided by net revenues), which are indicators prepared in accordance with GAAP. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin solely as supplemental disclosure because we believe it allows for a more complete analysis of our results of operations. In the future, we may incur expenses such as those added back to calculate Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are implementing our Five-Point Plan which we believe will enable us to drive stronger earnings power, provide a sustainable foundation for future growth and allow us to continue as a leading vintner with a strong portfolio of affordable luxury brands by focusing on the plan's five priorities: (1) margin expansion, (2) cost reduction, (3) cash management, (4) monetizing assets, and (5) revenue growth. In 2024, our priorities under our Five-Point Plan are to deliver profitability, generate cash, and reduce debt. In order to meet these objectives our near-term goals are to simplify the business, reduce costs, improve production throughout our operations, focus on key brands, and pay down debt through the monetization of assets and reducing costs, among other things.

We believe our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents, along with our cash flows from operations and credit facilities described below, provide sufficient funds for our business operations as well as capital expenditures and other capital requirements associated with our business operations over the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Debt

On October 12, 2023, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Second A&R Loan and Security Agreement") by and among the Company, the Borrowers party thereto (the "Borrowers"), the Lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), and Bank of the West (the "Agent"). The Fourth Amendment, among other things: (i) waives certain existing events of default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with the financial covenants and financial reporting requirements set forth in the credit agreement for prior fiscal periods; (ii) reduces the aggregate revolving commitment and the aggregate delayed draw term loan commitment to $200,000,000 and $38,100,000, respectively; (iii) replaces the maximum debt to capitalization financial covenant with a minimum adjusted EBITDA financial covenant of not less than (1) $4,000,000 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2023, (2) $17,000,000 for the two fiscal quarter period ending December 31, 2023, (3) $27,000,000 for the three fiscal quarter period ending March 31, 2024, (4) $34,000,000 for the four fiscal quarter period ending June 30, 2024, and (5) $35,000,000 for each four fiscal quarter period ending thereafter; (iv) adds a minimum liquidity covenant of $25,000,000 (or, for fiscal quarters ending in December, $15,000,000), which applies only for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2023 through and including December 31, 2024 (the “Covenant Modification Period”); (v) suspends the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2023 through and including June 30, 2024 and provides for a step-down of the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio to 1.00:1.00 for the remainder of the Covenant Modification Period; (vi) adds an equity cure right for the Company in the event of future breaches of the financial covenants; (vii) reduces revolver availability by (1) $15,000,000 during the months of February through September of each year and (2) $10,000,000 during the months of October through January of each year; (viii) suspends the exercise of incremental facilities during the Covenant Modification Period; (ix) restricts all permitted acquisitions during the term of the credit facilities, unless previously approved by the required Lenders; (x) increases in the applicable margin for all credit facilities to 3.00% for the loans subject to SOFR interest rates (the "SOFR Loans") and 2.00% for the loans subject to the Adjusted Base Rate (the "ABR Loans"), which margins will step-up further if certain prepayments of the term loans are not made by certain dates prescribed in the Fourth Amendment; (xi) adds additional mandatory prepayments of (1) $10,000,000 by no later than March 31, 2024, (2) an additional $10,000,000 by no later than June 30, 2024 and (3) an additional $25,000,000 by no later than December 31, 2024; (xii) adds additional mandatory prepayments in the event that the Borrowers maintain a cash balance in excess of $20,000,000; (xiii) permits additional sales of certain real property with an aggregate appraised value of approximately $60,000,000, in addition to related personal property assets; and (xiv) adds certain additional reporting requirements to Agent and the Lenders.

As a result, as of the date hereof, the Company has received a waiver for certain events of default and is in compliance with its covenants contained in the Second A&R Loan and Security Agreement, as amended. Refer to Note 4– Long-Term and Other Short-Term Obligations, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for further discussion.

21

The Company anticipates using any of the proceeds of the credit facilities for working capital and general corporate purposes, purchases of real estate (including vineyards) and equipment and paying down outstanding balances on the credit facilities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $18.6 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $18.2 million at June 30, 2023. At September 30, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents were held in cash depository accounts with major banks.

Cash Flows

The table below presents a summary of our sources and uses of cash:

	September 30,
(in thousands)	2023			2022			Change
Operating activities	$	(4,451	)	$	1,988		$	(6,439	)
Investing activities	$	(2,098	)	$	(3,454	)	$	1,356
Financing activities	$	6,940		$	(2,172	)	$	9,112

Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities was $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase in net cash used of $6.4 million, primarily related to the decrease in net income.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing a decrease in net cash used of $1.4 million. Cash flows from investing activities are utilized primarily to fund capital expenditures for new and improvements to existing assets and other corporate assets. The decrease in net cash used for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was attributable to an increase in proceeds from the sale of assets of $1.4 million in the current period.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash used of $2.2 million by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing an increase in net cash provided of $9.1 million, primarily due to an increase in net borrowings on the line of credit.

Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include those discussed under the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or other reports filed with the SEC.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023. Management’s conclusion was based on discoveries and observations made during the 2022 and 2023 audits.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. No system of controls, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met. Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any instances of fraud within a company have been detected.

As previously disclosed in Part II, Item 9A. "Controls and Procedures" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, our management has identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company did not maintain an effective control environment based on the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") framework, which resulted in a material weakness in the control environment. This material weakness consists of an overall lack of a sufficient control environment to produce materially correct financial statements, including a lack of U.S. GAAP expertise for the types of transactions we have been involved in which resulted in the restatement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the interim periods ended September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2023.

23

The material weakness in the control environment related to the following COSO components:

•Risk Assessment: We did not design and implement an effective risk assessment based on the criteria established in the COSO framework.

•Information and Communication: We did not have an effective information and communication process to identify, assess, and ensure the source of and reliability of information used in financial reporting or the communication of relevant information about roles and responsibilities for internal control over financial reporting.

•Monitoring Activities: We did not have effective monitoring activities to assess the internal control over financial reporting, including the design effectiveness and the level of documentation maintained to support our assessment of operating effectiveness.

In addition, the material weakness in the control environment contributed to the following material weaknesses:

•We did not have sufficient resources and expertise within the accounting and financial reporting department to review the accounting of complex financial reporting transactions and accounts and the implementation of new accounting pronouncements.

•We did not have effective business processes and controls to perform reconciliations and cut off procedures of balance sheet accounts timely. We did not maintain proper documentation and supporting schedules over accounts.

•Our controls over updating and distributing accounting policies and procedures such as those related to employee reimbursements across the organization were ineffective.

•We recognized revenue incorrectly due to a lack of controls to identify and resolve errors if and when they occur, and a lack of sufficient documentation over the review of underlying data and reports used in the revenue accounting process.

Management's Plan to Remediate the Material Weaknesses

In October 2023 the Company engaged a globally recognized Assurance and Advisory firm to assist in remediation efforts including risk assessment and SOX framework evaluation, process design walkthroughs, key control identification, control gap and process improvement assessment, training, and control operating effectiveness testing. This firm will leverage the work the Company began performing in 2023, which included performing comprehensive process walkthroughs and designing and implementing additional controls and procedures to mitigate the risk of material misstatement. This work has commenced, and prioritization activities are underway to focus initial remediation efforts on high-risk areas.

Management continues to strengthen key functions throughout the organization including, but not limited to, the accounting and financial reporting teams. We have added and filled a new position effective July 2023, Director of Technical Accounting. This position will improve the Company’s ability to assess, conclude and implement new accounting pronouncements as well as other technical accounting matters. We have added new leadership positions in operations, Vice President of Supply Chain (July 2023) and Vice President of Production (October 2023). Additionally, we have added and filled Accounts Payable Manager and Treasury Manager positions. These positions will assist in focused control work, including improved cutoff and receiving procedures. In addition, we have augmented staffing needs with contractors to assist in performing and supporting day-to-day operations. The Company intends to continue to assess its staffing needs in order to continually implement process improvements and address any gaps in its internal control processes. As of the date of this report, the Company continues to utilize contractors to support day-to-day operations.

The Company has established a process to ensure account reconciliations are performed at least quarterly. Additional controls and procedures have been implemented to mitigate the risk of a material misstatement include the standardization of our monthly close checklists to facilitate timeliness of activities performed, the formalization of account reconciliation templates, the determination of the appropriate level of review for each account based on an assessment of risk and complexity, and the performance of additional account reconciliation training for relevant staff. Incremental accounting staff (both full time and contractor) were added throughout 2023 to assist in the completion of account reconciliations, including additional review support. During the financial close process for the fiscal year ended June 2023, we concluded that improvements were needed in the controls over the process for confirming and periodically updating management assumptions (e.g., redemption rates used to support liabilities and inventory turns used to absorb overhead costs to cost of goods sold related to custom production activities). Management is currently assessing all key inputs used in supporting account balances and implementing a process to reconfirm and/or reassess quarterly.

The Company has also updated and is in the process of reissuing its policy on Travel & Expense Reimbursement. Key process improvements include immediate elimination of manual travel and expense reimbursements, mandatory use of the travel & expense management system, systematic controls requiring receipt submission and manager approval workflow.

The Company has restructured the leadership team to better align with the business opportunities and created improved communications and collaboration.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except for the changes described above intended to remediate the material weaknesses identified in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, which efforts continued into the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over

24

financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in two disputes with One True Vine, LLC and Jayson Woodbridge (the "Claimant") (together, the "Claimants"), which relate to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) and a related Non-Compete Agreement/Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Non-Compete Agreement”). Claimant has alleged that the Company did not make certain earnout payments allegedly due under the APA and has alleged that the Company misused alleged rights of publicity with respect to the brands in violation of the Non-Compete Agreement. On or about August 30, 2023, Claimants served a demand for arbitration on the Company. The Company paid the Claimant $0.4 million subsequent to September 30, 2023. At present, Claimants collectively have not quantified the total amount of their alleged damages for all claims; however, based on information provided by Claimants, the Company would anticipate that any claim of damages would likely be at least approximately $3.0 million. The Company disputes both that any amounts in excess of the accrued earn-out liability of approximately $0.4 million for the dispute period are owed and that the Company misused the alleged rights of publicity. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims. At this time, in view of the complexity and ongoing nature of the matters, we are unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss that the Company may incur to resolve these matters or defend against these claims.

From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, the Company may receive letters alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. Other than as set forth above, there are no material updates to the matters previously disclosed in “Part I, Item 3 — Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. The Company is not currently a party to any other material legal proceedings, nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, in the Company’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Important risk factors that could affect our operations and financial performance, or that could cause results or events to differ from current expectations, are described in "Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

Item 5. Other Information

None of the Company's directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as such terms are defined under Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

This Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Code Section 409A

16.Relation to Plan. The RSUs granted under this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions hereof are subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Plan. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will govern.

Vintage Wine Estates, Inc.

937 Tahoe Boulevard, Suite 210 Incline Village, Nevada 89451 United States of America

PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

Dear Pat

This letter confirms the arrangements under which Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. ("you", the "Company" or "VWE"), has engaged Global Leisure Partners LLC ("us" or "GLP") to act as a financial advisor to the Company (the "Engagement") in connection with its exploration of acquisitions, mergers, investments and other strategic matters (each, a "Transaction") on the terms set forth below.

By countersigning the document VWE agrees to and accepts the terms and conditions outlined in this letter (the "Agreement").

1.Scope of Engagement.

1.1.During the Term of the Engagement, GLP agrees to provide financial advisory services to the Company in respect of capital markets and mergers and acquisition matters as reasonably requested by the Company and agreed to by GLP. This could include, but is not limited to:

•Assistance in the valuation of companies that could form potential merger, acquisition or investment candidates (each defined as a "Target");

•Assistance in reviewing with you the due diligence materials and those aspects of the results of your due diligence referred to us by you;

•Organizing and attending meetings relating to a Transaction;

•Development of the structure of a Transaction, in conjunction with your other professional advisers, in relation to taxation, accounting and legal issues;

•Assistance, in conjunction with your other professional advisers, in the negotiation of the terms and conditions of a Transaction; and

•managing and assisting you in the successful consummation of any Transaction where GLP's assistance is requested.

  GLOBAL LEISURE PARTNERS LLC Memher FINRA/SIPC www.globalleisurepartners.com

1.2.GLP shall not be responsible for providing specialist, technical or industry-related advice or services (for example, on legal, tax, accounting or other specialist matters) which would normally be provided by other professional advisers. GLP shall not have any liability in respect of services or advice provided to you by third parties irrespective of whether such advice is given or made available to, or reviewed by, GLP, or discussed by GLP with you. You acknowledge that you, together with your other professional advisers, shall be responsible for the nature, scope, adequacy, performance and review of any due diligence inquiries and accordingly, GLP shall not be liable in respect of such matters. You acknowledge and understand that any decision as to whether or not to enter into any Transaction (and the terms on which you do so) is its sole responsibility.

1.3.GLP does not accept responsibility for the accounting and other data and commercial assumptions on which any valuation advice that it provides is based, the assessment and evaluation of which remain the responsibility of the Company. For the purpose of the Engagement, GLP shall be entitled to rely on any advice and/ or information provided by other advisers to the Company. However, in no circumstance shall GLP be responsible for any such advice or information or for any other work performed by persons other than GLP. GLP's only role and responsibility in relation to due diligence will be to assist the Company in coordinating the work of the Company's other advisers to the extent that GLP has actual knowledge of such work.

2.Compensation. In consideration of GLP providing the services and performing the responsibilities set out in this Agreement you agree to pay GLP in immediately available funds the following fees:

2.1.Retainer Fee: VWE will pay GLP a Retainer Fee of $50,000 per quarter (the "Retainer Fee") which shall be payable quarterly in advance and shall accrue daily. The Retainer Fee shall be payable from July 1, 2022 (the "Retainer Fee Start Date") until the end of the Term of this Agreement. The Retainer Fee is non-refundable and will be credited against the Success Fee. In the event of termination of the Engagement or this Agreement other than for cause (as referred to in Section 8 below), the Retainer Fee will become immediately due and payable up to the date of termination (and on a pro rata basis in the case of any part month up to the date of termination); plus

2.2.Success Fee: In the event that an Eligible Acquisition is completed, VWE will pay GLP a Success Fee of that represents 1% of the Enterprise Value of the Target.

An "Eligible Acquisition" shall be defined as any equity or asset acquisition, merger or other investment transaction by VWE or any person or entity at the direction of VWE where the Enterprise Value of the Target is equal to or greater than $50 million acquired by VWE. An Eligible Acquisition will be completed in the event that any of VWE, or any person at the direction of VWE (whether in one or a series of transactions) (i) acquires a material interest in the share capital of the Target; (ii) acquires a material part of the business and/or assets of the Target; (iii) makes a material investment in the Target by way of equity, debt or any hybrid instrument; or (iv) enters into a material joint venture or other commercial agreement with the Target. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any transaction resulting in the acquisition of an

2

  GLOBAL LEISURE PARTNERS LLC Memher FINRA/SIPC www.globalleisurepartners.com

interest of at least 25% in any of the Target's share capital, debt capital, business or assets will be a completed Transaction for the purposes of this Agreement but fees only to be paid in the event that VWE pays at least $50 million in cash, or stock.

"Enterprise Value" means the sum without duplication of all amounts paid by you in a Transaction, including the value attributable to any earnout or similar mechanism (determined on the assumption that the full amount is payable), plus the face amount of all indebtedness paid or assumed by you therein, less all unrestricted cash giving effect to the Transaction. The value of all publicly traded securities shall be the market price thereof as of five trading days prior to the announcement of the Transaction, debt securities shall be valued at par and all other securities or other amounts shall be as agreed to by you and us, each acting reasonably. For the purposes of calculating the Enterprise Value, any currency other than US Dollars shall be translated into US Dollars at the rate of exchange published at the prevailing market rate on the date the Transaction is Closed.

2.3.No fees payable to any other advisor by any of VWE, or any other entity shall reduce or otherwise affect the fees payable under this Agreement to GLP.

2.4.All fees (Section 2) and expenses (Section 3) payable hereunder will be paid by wire transfer at the earlier of closing of a Transaction or within 30 days of issue of an invoice and shall be made free and clear of all deductions or withholdings unless such deduction or withholding is required by law, in which event VWE shall pay such additional amount as shall be required to ensure that the net amount received by GLP will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no such deduction or withholding been made. "Closing" will be deemed to occur on the date of the first payment of monies (or any other form of consideration) in the relation to the Transaction. Any amount not paid on the due date will bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum.

3.Out-of-pocket Expenses. In addition to compensation payable pursuant to Section 2, GLP shall be reimbursed by you for all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and expenses of its legal counsel, if any, and any other advisor retained by GLP (it being understood that the retention of any such advisor, will be made with VWE's prior consent), incurred by GLP in originating the Transaction and providing financial intermediary services to you pursuant to this Agreement. Such reimbursements will be payable within 5 days of a request for payment thereof by GLP whether or not any Transaction contemplated by this Agreement is completed.

4.Confidentiality.

4.1.No advice rendered or information provided by GLP or VWE (each a "Party") to either Party, whether formal or informal, may be disclosed, in whole or in part, or summarized, excerpted from or otherwise referred to without the other Party's prior written consent.

4.2.4.becomes available to such disclosing party other than from the non-disclosing party (and other than subject to an obligation of confidentiality to the non-disclosing party).

4.3.Each party's obligation pursuant to this Section 4 shall terminate on the first anniversary of the date of the termination of this Agreement.

4.4.Any advice rendered by GLP or any of its affiliates is intended solely for the benefit and use of VWE in connection with the Engagement.

obtained or that its provision or use by GLP would be unauthorized or in breach of any law, duty or obligation or might give rise to any liability on GLP, it shall notify GLP immediately.

5.3.GLP shall not be liable for any losses, liabilities, damages or costs suffered by VWE as a consequence of GLP providing advice or taking action or making statements based on any inaccurate or misleading information or documentation which has been supplied by or on behalf of VWE or resulting from any omission from such information or documentation.

5.4.GLP is an independent contractor of VWE and not a fiduciary. Accordingly, no fiduciary duty is owed by GLP to VWE or its stakeholders, affiliates or representatives.

5.5.VWE will take primary responsibility for drafting any documentation to be sent to its shareholders or to any counterparty or their shareholders or to any government or regulatory authority.

5.6.GLP is entitled to assume that any instructions received by it from the CEO to give such instructions (howsoever communicated to us) have been properly authorized by VWE.

The Term may be terminated effective upon written notice at any time by the Company for any reason or by GLP for "cause" upon 30 days' prior written notice, provided, however, that termination will not affect GLP's rights to the Retainer or to any Success Fee accrued prior to termination. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that GLP has assisted the Company on a given Transaction that completes within 12 months after the Agreement has ended then GLP will be due the Success Fee for the Transaction. For purposes of this Agreement, "cause" shall mean the fraud, gross negligence or willful breach by GLP of its obligations hereunder or in the course of providing its services hereunder.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively.

References to the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2023 (this "Form 10-Q") refer to Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries or controlled subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal 2024 in these condensed consolidated financial statements are to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included in this Form 10-Q. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. In addition, financial results presented for this fiscal 2024 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 or any other future interim or annual period. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on October 13, 2023. The June 30, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company restated its unaudited quarterly financial data, on October 13, 2023, for the periods ended September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. All amounts in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q affected by the restatement, including but not limited to the three months ended September 30, 2022, reflect such restated amounts.

Significant Accounting Policies

A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to the net realizable value of inventory, estimated fair values of intangible assets in acquisitions, intangible assets for impairment, amortization methods and periods, contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, and accounting for income taxes, as applicable. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, we reclassified $6.6 million of accrued employee compensation from accrued liabilities and other payables to accrued employee compensation as of June 30, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, was immaterial. We do not accrue interest on past-due amounts. Bad debt expense was immaterial for all reporting periods presented.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table summarizes revenue by geographic region:

	September 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
United States	$	72,825	$	76,373
International		449		1,707
Total net revenue	$	73,274	$	78,080

The following table provides a disaggregation of revenue based on the pattern of revenue recognition:

	September 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022
Point in time	$	61,497	$	66,431
Over time		11,777		11,649
Total net revenue	$	73,274	$	78,080

Inventories

Inventory consists of the following:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Bulk wine, spirits and cider	$	78,873	$	84,602
Bottled wine, spirits and cider		105,870		100,075
Bottling and packaging supplies		13,455		15,690
Nonwine inventory		1,204		996
Total inventories	$	199,402	$	201,363

Inventories of bulk and bottled wines, spirits, and ciders and inventories of non-wine products and bottling and packaging supplies are valued at the lower of cost using the FIFO method or net realizable value. Costs associated with winemaking, and other costs associated with the manufacturing of products for resale, are recorded as inventory. Net realizable value is the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with either the eventual sale or the disposal of the asset in question. Inventories are classified as current assets in accordance with recognized industry practice, although most wines and spirits are aged for periods longer than one year. The inventory reserve for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was immaterial.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not identify any impairment triggers.

Casualty Gains

In relation to various weather and wildfire events, the Company received insurance and litigation proceeds of zero and $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Segment Information

We operate in three reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Interim Chief Executive Officer for the three months ended September 30, 2023, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the segment level.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, stock options, warrants to purchase common stock and restricted stock units are considered potentially dilutive securities but are excluded from the calculation of

diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is antidilutive. As a result, in certain periods, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as the basic net income (loss) per share.

The Company does not pay dividends or have participating shares outstanding.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act

Restructuring

2. Restructuring

On July 20, 2023, the Company's executive officers, authorized by the Board of Directors (the "Board") to take such action, approved an organizational restructuring plan (the "Plan") intended to expand margin through simplification and improved execution, measurably reduce costs, improve cash management, monetize assets, reduce debt and grow revenue of its key brands. As part of the Plan, there was a reduction in force affecting approximately 25 roles, or 4% of the workforce. The total restructuring expense, shown on a separate line in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $4.0 million, substantially all of which was related to employee severance and related benefit costs. The amount is expected to be paid over the next 24 months.

The following table presents the changes in the Company's restructuring-related accrued employee compensation liabilities:

Liabilities:
Contingent consideration liabilities (2)	$	-	$	-	$	8,656	$	8,656
Total	$	-	$	-	$	8,656	$	8,656

(1) The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that considers the expected future cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap, including the remaining period to maturity, and uses market-corroborated Level 2 inputs, including forward interest rate curves and implied interest rate volatilities. The fair value of an interest rate swap is

estimated by discounting future fixed cash payments against the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are estimated based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from forward interest rate curves. The fair value of an interest rate swap also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect the non-performance risk of the Company and the respective counterparty.

(2) We assess the fair value of contingent consideration to be settled in cash related to acquisitions using probability weighted models for the various contractual earn-outs. These are Level 3 measurements. Significant unobservable inputs used in the estimated fair values of these contingent consideration liabilities include probabilities of achieving customer related performance targets, specified sales milestones, consulting milestones, changes in unresolved claims, projected revenue or changes in discount rates.

The following table provides a reconciliation of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

(in thousands)	Contingent Consideration
Balance at June 30, 2023		8,656
Acquisitions		-
Payments		(230	)
Change in fair value		971
Balance at September 30, 2023		9,397
Less: current portion		(2,427	)
Long term portion	$	6,970

The current and long-term portion of contingent consideration is included within the accrued liabilities and other payables and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Our non-financial assets, such as indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived assets are adjusted to fair value when an impairment charge is recognized. Such fair value measurements are based predominately on Level 3 inputs.

Stockholders' Equity

5. Stockholders' Equity

Warrants

At September 30, 2023, there were 25,646,453 warrants outstanding to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share. The 25,646,453 warrants are made up of 18,000,000 Public Warrants (the "Public Warrants") and 7,646,453 Private Warrants (the "Private Warrants").

The Public Warrants are exercisable commencing on August 11, 2021 and expire five years after the commencement date. The Company may accelerate the expiry date by providing 30 days’ prior written notice, if and only if, the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period. The public warrant holder’s right to exercise will be forfeited unless the warrants are exercised prior to the date specified in the notice of acceleration of the expiry date.

The Private Warrants are exercisable commencing on August 11, 2021 for one common share at an exercise price of $11.50, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The Private Warrants expire five years after the commencement date.

Meier's Earnout Shares

In connection with the closing of the Meier's business combination with Paul T. Lux Irrevocable Trust pursuant to a merger agreement dated January 18, 2022, Mr. Lux is entitled to receive up to an additional $5 million of the Company’s common stock, subject to the terms of the earnout agreement.

The Company will make earnout payments based on the product of the amount of adjusted EBITDA in calendar 2022, 2023 and 2024 over an EBITDA threshold, as defined in the merger agreement, and the earnout multiple of seven. No shares were issued through September 30, 2023.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the 2021 Plan prior to May 17, 2023 have a ten-year term and are subject to certain market conditions, including that the stock options only become exercisable if the volume-weighted average price per share of our common stock meets a $12.50 threshold over a 30-day consecutive trading period following the grant date. The fair value of the stock options was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model. These stock option awards vest, except as set forth in the award agreement, in four equal installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting 18 months after the grant date with respect to an additional 25% of the total stock-based award on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the grant date, providing in each case the employee remains in continuous employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate. Stock options granted under the 2021 Plan subsequent to May 17, 2023 are generally not subject to market conditions and vest, except as set forth in the award agreement, in four equal installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting 12 months after the grant date with an additional 25% of the total stock-based award on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the grant date, providing in each case the employee remains in continuous employment or service with the Company or an Affiliate. Compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period.

The following table presents a summary of stock option activity under the 2021 Plan:

	Stock Options			Weighted-Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at June 30, 2023		2,869,837		$	10.31		8.80	$	-

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to the stock options was $3.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5.0 years. As of September 30, 2023, 932,813 options were exercisable pending attainment of a market condition.

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock units are subject only to service conditions and those issued prior to May 17, 2023 vest, except as set forth in the award agreement, in four equal installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting 18 months after the vesting commencement date and the other installments vesting on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the vesting commencement date. Restricted stock units issued subsequent to May 17, 2023 vest, except as set forth in the award agreement, in four equal installments of 25%, with the first installment vesting 12 months after the vesting commencement date and the other installments vesting on each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th anniversaries of the vesting commencement date.

Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Litigation

7. Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Litigation

We are subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Although management believes that any pending claims and lawsuits will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations, the adjudication of such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s assessment may change depending on future events.

Litigation

On November 14, 2022, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada against the Company and certain current and former members of its management team. The lawsuit is captioned Ezzes v. Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., et al. (“Ezzes“), and alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, by making material misstatements or omissions in certain of the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC relating to, among other things, the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, including with respect to the Company’s inventory metrics and overhead burden. The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount of damages and an award of attorney’s fees, in addition to other relief. On November 28, 2022, a second purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Salbenblatt v. Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., et al. (“Salbenblatt”), was filed in the same court, containing similar claims and allegations, and seeking similar relief, as the Ezzes lawsuit. On February 14, 2023, the Court consolidated both actions and appointed the lead plaintiffs. The Salbenblatt action was transferred to and consolidated with the Ezzes action. On May 1, 2023, the lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint (“amended complaint”). On June 30, 2023 defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The motion to dismiss was fully briefed on September 25, 2023, and is pending. The Company believes this litigation is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. However, litigation is inherently uncertain, and the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this litigation and is unable to estimate the range of loss, if any, that could result from an unfavorable outcome. The Company also cannot provide any assurance that the ultimate resolution of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, prospects, results of operations or financial condition.

The Company is involved in two disputes relating to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) and a related Non-Compete Agreement/Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Non-Compete Agreement”) from a 2018 acquisition. Claimant has alleged that the Company did not make certain earnout payments allegedly due under the APA and has alleged that the Company misused alleged rights of publicity with respect to the brands in violation of the Non-Compete Agreement. On or about August 30, 2023, claimants served a demand for arbitration on the Company. The Company paid the claimant $0.4 million subsequent to September 30, 2023. At present, claimants collectively have not quantified the total amount of their alleged damages for all claims; however based on information provided by claimants, the Company would anticipate that any claim of damages would likely be at least approximately $3.0 million. The Company disputes both that any amounts in excess of the accrued earn-out liability of approximately $0.4 million for the dispute period are owed and that the Company misused the alleged rights of publicity. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims. At this time, in view of the complexity and ongoing nature of the matters, we are unable to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss that the Company may incur to resolve these matters or defend against these claims.

The Company has received a complaint in California Superior Court alleging certain violations of California employment law and seeking class certification for certain current and former employees of the Company. The Company intends to defend the matter vigorously. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter and is unable to estimate the range of loss, if any, that could result from an unfavorable outcome.

From time to time, the Company is subject to other legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, the Company may receive letters alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. The Company is not currently a party to any other material legal proceedings, nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation that, in the Company’s opinion, would have a material adverse effect on the business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, customers and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. These indemnities include indemnities to our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted under applicable state laws. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. Historically, we have not incurred any significant costs as a result of such indemnifications.

Other Commitments

Contracts exist with various growers and certain wineries to supply a significant portion of our future grape and wine requirements. Contract amounts are subject to change based upon actual vineyard yields, grape quality and changes in grape prices. Estimated future minimum grape and bulk wine purchase commitments are as follows:

(in thousands)
Year ending June 30,	Total
Remainder of 2024	$	25,969
2025		9,935
2026		3,786
2027		347
2028		264
	$	40,301

Grape, bulk wine and cider purchases under contracts totaled $12.8 million and $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company expects to fulfill all of these purchase commitments.

In connection with the Separation Agreement, the Company and Ms. Wheatley entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Wheatley APA") effective as of September 17, 2023, whereby the Company sold Ms. Wheatley all of its intellectual property rights related to its "Purple Cowboy," "Wine Sisterhood" and "Gem+Jane" trademarks for a nominal sum. Pursuant to the Wheatley APA, the Company holds a worldwide, non-exclusive license to use the Purple Cowboy intellectual property ("IP") until June 30, 2024 for the purpose of liquidating its existing Purple Cowboy inventory. Pursuant to the Wheatley APA, Ms. Wheatley is required to purchase, by December 31, 2024, all Purple Cowboy inventory held by the Company that was not sold by June 30, 2024, at cost plus shipping charges.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

9. Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the CODM, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our operations are principally managed on a sales distribution basis and are comprised of three reportable segments: Wholesale; Direct-to-Consumer; and Business-to-Business. The factors for determining the reportable segments include the manner in which management evaluates performance for purposes for allocating resources and assessing performance.

We report our segments as follows:

Direct-to-Consumer ("DTC") - We sell our wine and other merchandise directly to consumers through wine club memberships, at wineries’ tasting rooms, and through eCommerce. Winery estates hold various public and private events for customers and our wine club members.

Wholesale - We sell our wine, spirits and cider to wholesale distributors under purchase orders. Wholesale operations generate revenue from product sold to distributors, who then sell them to off-premise retail locations such as grocery stores, wine clubs, specialty and multi-national retail chains, as well as on-premise locations such as restaurants and bars.

Business-to-Business ("B2B") - Our Business-to-Business segment generates revenue primarily from custom winemaking services and the sale of private label wines and spirits. Annually, we work with our national retail partners to develop private label wines incremental to their wholesale channel businesses. These services are made under contracts with customers, which includes specific protocols, pricing, and payment terms. The customer retains title and control of the product during the process.

Other - Other is included in the tables below for purposes of reconciliation of revenues and profit but is not considered a reportable segment. We record corporate level expenses, non-direct selling expenses and other expenses not specifically allocated to the results of operations in Other.

The following tables present net revenue and income from operations directly attributable to the Company's segments:

3 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively.

References to the "Company," "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2023 (this "Form 10-Q") refer to Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries or controlled subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal 2024 in these condensed consolidated financial statements are to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included in this Form 10-Q. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. In addition, financial results presented for this fiscal 2024 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 or any other future interim or annual period. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on October 13, 2023. The June 30, 2023 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date.

Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Restatement of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company restated its unaudited quarterly financial data, on October 13, 2023, for the periods ended September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023. All amounts in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q affected by the restatement, including but not limited to the three months ended September 30, 2022, reflect such restated amounts.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to the net realizable value of inventory, estimated fair values of intangible assets in acquisitions, intangible assets for impairment, amortization methods and periods, contingent consideration, stock-based compensation, and accounting for income taxes, as applicable. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, we reclassified $6.6 million of accrued employee compensation from accrued liabilities and other payables to accrued employee compensation as of June 30, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Allowance for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, was immaterial. We do not accrue interest on past-due amounts. Bad debt expense was immaterial for all reporting periods presented.

Disaggregation Of Revenue

Disaggregation of Revenue

Inventories

Inventories

Inventory consists of the following:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2023		June 30, 2023
Bulk wine, spirits and cider	$	78,873	$	84,602
Bottled wine, spirits and cider		105,870		100,075
Bottling and packaging supplies		13,455		15,690
Nonwine inventory		1,204		996
Total inventories	$	199,402	$	201,363

Inventories of bulk and bottled wines, spirits, and ciders and inventories of non-wine products and bottling and packaging supplies are valued at the lower of cost using the FIFO method or net realizable value. Costs associated with winemaking, and other costs associated with the manufacturing of products for resale, are recorded as inventory. Net realizable value is the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with either the eventual sale or the disposal of the asset in question. Inventories are classified as current assets in accordance with recognized industry practice, although most wines and spirits are aged for periods longer than one year. The inventory reserve for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was immaterial.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not identify any impairment triggers.

Casualty Gains

Casualty Gains

In relation to various weather and wildfire events, the Company received insurance and litigation proceeds of zero and $0.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Segment Information

Segment Information

We operate in three reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Interim Chief Executive Officer for the three months ended September 30, 2023, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the segment level.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, stock options, warrants to purchase common stock and restricted stock units are considered potentially dilutive securities but are excluded from the calculation of

diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is antidilutive. As a result, in certain periods, diluted net income (loss) per share is the same as the basic net income (loss) per share.

The Company does not pay dividends or have participating shares outstanding.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act

Total	$	-	$	-	$	8,656	$	8,656

(1) The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that considers the expected future cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap, including the remaining period to maturity, and uses market-corroborated Level 2 inputs, including forward interest rate curves and implied interest rate volatilities. The fair value of an interest rate swap is

estimated by discounting future fixed cash payments against the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are estimated based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from forward interest rate curves. The fair value of an interest rate swap also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect the non-performance risk of the Company and the respective counterparty.

(2) We assess the fair value of contingent consideration to be settled in cash related to acquisitions using probability weighted models for the various contractual earn-outs. These are Level 3 measurements. Significant unobservable inputs used in the estimated fair values of these contingent consideration liabilities include probabilities of achieving customer related performance targets, specified sales milestones, consulting milestones, changes in unresolved claims, projected revenue or changes in discount rates.

Summary of Reconciliation of Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on Recurring Basis Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

[1] (1) The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that considers the expected future cash flows of each interest rate swap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap, including the remaining period to maturity, and uses market-corroborated Level 2 inputs, including forward interest rate curves and implied interest rate volatilities. The fair value of an interest rate swap is estimated by discounting future fixed cash payments against the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are estimated based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from forward interest rate curves. The fair value of an interest rate swap also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect the non-performance risk of the Company and the respective counterparty.

[2] (2) We assess the fair value of contingent consideration to be settled in cash related to acquisitions using probability weighted models for the various contractual earn-outs. These are Level 3 measurements. Significant unobservable inputs used in the estimated fair values of these contingent consideration liabilities include probabilities of achieving customer related performance targets, specified sales milestones, consulting milestones, changes in unresolved claims, projected revenue or changes in discount rates.
